So, Friday the 13th!!! OOooooOOOoOoO

Is anyone superstitious about this? It's never bothered me at all really.

Today has so far progressed much like every lately, even down to the rain.

Tho of course yesterday the rain was added entertainment as it made watching the Twelfth Parades so much more fun as they got wetter and wetter (petty, yes. but funny!). AND it got sunny in the evening so I even got OUTSIDE to the garden for a bit. Such excitement.

The week has been mostly spent watching crap telly and mudding.

Even took myself off to BP for a change of scenery and spent many happy hours pottering round the shops, buying a custom made outfit for the next Social Occasion (when IS the Assassains ball anyway?). Also checking out the furniture shops, as boredom has got so great I have finally given in and decided to get a Player House and even signed up for the AM council to do so, since that's where I spend most of my time these days anyway.
Tho I have to say (and without bias, since it was nothing to do with me) that BP does have much better furniture on offer ;p
Still, it'll be a fun distraction getting somewhere and kitting it out. Then rekitting it out when it all gets nicked by npc thieves/eaten in bugs/disappears in crashes... Maybe I will even have a housewarming party, so I can wear my fancy new outfit!


Hopefully next week work will finally get their fingers out and get me stuff to do from home, and Monday week, the cast comes off! And I may even get back to my own house, hurrah!

Hoorah!

You had a chance to look at the books?

Also, there is another parcel in the post to you...

;p

ooh i forgot to mention the books, I knew there was something else I meant to put in there!

Had a look at the Harry Dreseden one, it looks fab, but currently I'm half way thro Bill Bryon's latest (the Thunderbolt Kid), so I'll get stuck in once i've finished that.

The Harry Dresden books are definitely fab. The US TV series - the Dresden Files - is also fab, but not very similar.

Friday 13th doesn't bother me in the slightest.

What is BP?

Bes Pelargic

*still none the wiser*
*googles*
Oh!

[hellison.livejournal.com]

It's not going to make much sense unless you've read the Discworld books. And even then Bes Pelargic only really features in one of them ;)

[lazy-hoor.livejournal.com]

I have, just a very long time ago. I was Pratchett-mad then, but I think I over-did them and kinda got sick of them. I'd probably enjoy them again if I read them now.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Yep Bes Pelargic, one of the big cities on the mud. And possibly the finest! Tho I do spend more time in Ankh-Morpork these days, so that's where I shall rent a wee flat for myself ;p

So unsuperstitious that I was wondering why there was an article in the paper about Friday 13th, not realising that it was today's date.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I only noticed when I was checking another date in my diary, it's never bothered me at all.

[mollydot.livejournal.com]

I think I must be particularly dozy today, as I didn't check the date when I saw the article. It was a few hours later that I realised & went "oooohhhh, so that's why!".

TRANSLATION NOTE

A mud is something extremely nerdy you do online. Not like LJ. Oh no. You go around a text based thing and fruit people up. This is Mud Wrestling. For example

Rincewindy9992: Can you see my wizzards staff?
Hellyson69: Oooh it is teh big!
Rincewindy9992: Perhaps yuo would lik to see teh KNOB?
___Hellyson69 SKWEALS
Hellyson69: i use my wich powerZ to make ur nob GRO
Rincewindy9992: oh baby make it biggah!
Hellyson69: I have a +20 skill in Knob Magic
___Rincewindy9992 is impressed
Hellyson69: Um. is that all?


That sort of thing, you know. Bes Pelargic is latin for 'bondage'

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Have you been playing the mud on the sly? Cos that's UNCANNY!

*sings a rousing chorus of A Wizard's Staff Has A Knob On The End*

[tardington.livejournal.com]

Heh! I worked it out... from YOU!

Did you see my hair yet?

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

*worried*

[tardington.livejournal.com]

Oh, its okay, I just forgot my wee wire that lets me upload pics to the interweb. Hellison has seen it now!

(hair, not wire)

[tardington.livejournal.com]

Btw Hellyson, wots your address at teh moment?


I can send things!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_unhurt_/]

i still haven't!

i had to check the bbc news site on the 12th, to see how it went. i was also amused by the rain. and the many people claiming they are now aiming for a family-friendly carnival atmosphere. so that's why there are often small children learning important lessons like baton twirling and throwing beer cans at people who don't look sufficiently orange!

p.s. perhaps you would like to guess who sent me this text messgage:

happy 319 anniversary of the irrevocable introduction of democracy to british politics
