I've decided to get into the christmas spirit and provide you all with 'what I did for 15 minutes today'.
At work, I was pleasantly surprised to find this sign:
This both excited and aroused me, so I scanned it in and knocked up this template, as a precursor to turning it into my new desktop background.
If anybody can tell me where to buy these things, I'll post again waxing lyrical about how awesome you are. You haven't experienced true lyrical wax until you've experienced my lyrical wax.
edit: current version is here. cheap but effective. |

Dear Diary,
You're flammable. Remember that. |

So, until the current mania at work dies down and we get more of a chance for slacking (and a supply of suitable pipecleaners), that ends it. Looks like we'll have to resort to setting fire to things. |

So, according to wikipedia, the instructions on a box in my cupboard, and some very vague maths, it would take about 26.8 quadrillion tonnes of gelatine to turn the entire ocean into jelly.
Going by the current world production of gelatine, this would take a tad under 90 billion years to produce.
Looks like my current plans to become a supervillain will either have to be put on hold, or downgraded to a smaller body of water... |

So, boredom leads to you all being tortured with something I find vaguely interesting.
( I get paid 27c a minute for this. )
So, since the addition of new pipecleaners to the mix, I'm giving it a week before the boss actually notices and thieves them all in the name of productivity. We'll have to make the most of them while they last. |

There are some tins in my cupboard which I discovered today. I dont know where they're from, and neither do the other occupants of this house.
However, one of them - 'Young Coconut Juice With Jelly' - provided me with hours of amusement:
One day I'm going to thailand, just to laugh at the hilarious names. |

I want a Lava Lamp Window, and I will pay the sum of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS to the first person who builds me a working model.
Failing that, I might be generous enough to offer similar benefits for a Lava Lamp Fish Tank. Either way it would be cool. |

So, a bit before christmas, I managed to finally get my hands on that cheap digicam I've been waiting for. To commemorate this occasion, here's a snippet of pipecleaner people giving birth.
I can't say I love work, but I love the extreme lapses in good taste that we get away with.
So, suggestions of what to photograph before the novelty wears off are welcome. Those whose suggestions are obscene, untoward, or boring will be soundly and publicly humiliated.
That will be all! |

I'm starting to get the impression that the only reason the dog hasn't killed me yet is because I can open the fridge.

Dear daylight savings,
GTFO.

More importantly, is there an archive of beer ads anywhere? As far as my memory serves, most beer commercials on TV weren't that interesting until, at some point when I was in early highschool, Carlton really raised the bar with their Carlton Mid Ads. Then, of course, most big companies launched different-but-surprisingly-similar-idea campaigns, appealing to the same sense of humour. These days, they seem to mostly have noticeably different campaigns, but they're still quite entertaining. I don't know what the turning point was, but I'd be quite interested if there's a site out there with copies of them all and the order they came out in.
If not, it may be time to start one. |

If these planes dont cease flying overhead soon, I will be forced to throw rocks at them.
Shouting expletives and making rude gestures doesn't seem to have worked. |

Next bulk rubbish collection for nedlands/subi is around the 4th of december (just before they start picking it up), and since it's the end of the year it'll be a big one. Anybody with a car after decent free stuff should apply to me directly, since it's also too warm for me to enjoy collecting on foot.
Also, I hear cottesloe has bulk rubbish over the next three weeks, starting for one area TODAY. Anybody who wishes to go roaming, the next few weekends are a great time - especially since cottesloe tends to have huge wads of computer bits left out.
Come on, it's a chance to furnish your house and go go through somebody's garbage at the same time - what have you got to lose? |

According to vague-but-conservative-estimates based on unverified data, there are now enough Home and Away episodes to fill almost two months of constant television - assuming about 20 minutes of actual content an episode.
This has got to be the scariest statistic I've heard all week. Even scarier than the statistics with clowns in them.
Of course, just to take things to a horrific new level, Neighbours comes in with a an 11-day lead in content...of which I've so far managed to see exactly none of. It actually kind of scares me that almost all this has been produced in my lifetime. |
