Work sucks ass. Not just this particular job but work in general. I don't need this sort of hassle. If I won the lottery I'd never work another day in my life and wouldn't be bored. I'd but go-carts and fit them with paintball guns and play real life MAriokart. Thats what i'd fricken well do.
Fuck monday it's a tiny little bastard!
yeah, fuck monday. right in the ear.
Mondays are shit! Work is Shit..
But on a lighter note...
Celtic won on Sunday! Yeah!
Yeah that was pretty good. Mondays still suck ass though. ROARRRRRRRRR!

The wind is up so I'm going to fly a kite later... seriously. I like kites. They're far better than Monday.
I thought you were jusr back at work last week?

pretty much. Even I'd have sacked me by now.
oh, you dont want to get the sack!

let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height
let's go fly a kite, and send it soaring
up through the stratosphere, up where the air is clear,
oooh lets gooooooo, fly a kite
I concur, Monday's suck. I however enjoy having a job that pays well, so I don't have to worry about my bills, rent etc. I just got some new fish for my tank and did some shopping. Without a job I could not afford to buy things that I like and that includes beer.

i think i must have Vic, cos i'm very chipper today, despite going to the dentist on Saturday. and i only got about 4 hours sleep last night.
I will probably keel over at about 3pm
That is a good point November. However it does overlook the fact that I should be paid a vast amount simply for being great. The world is so messed up. ;)

Someone Is trying to print loads of stuff and the printer keeps messing around, and I have to program something I am getting really bored and pissed off with now
But Monday is good really :(

Monday is good today, which is strange. Went bowling last night pissed out of my head, so that might explain why doing nowt on monday is good!
My monday is degenerating rapidly, the only way it can get worse is if i get sacked.
still, on the plus side,i just got offered another job so options are available.
My Monday is shit! I am so tired i could fall asleep right now. Plus i have interest in working today at all, which isnt making my boss happy.
I'm feeling a mix of tiredness and queasiness. I've been asked to do a Flash animation of the sun's UV rays penetrating the Earth's atmosphere, but I simply cannot be arsed to do a thing. Oh dear.
is that a flash animation showing increased growth and lots of species thriving on the increased UV light, or the usual environmental propaganda?
Nah, more of an educational scientific thing, demonstrating how the UV intensity increases around the equator due to a more direct flow of light. And all that shit.
Also have to do animations depicting the relationship between altitude and UVR.
so, uv intensity increases the closer you are to the sun?

Chris I loath you
I think you are missing the point somewhat, if its an 'educational' film, who is it supposed to educate? who doesn't already grasp this none too difficult point?
Chris, I have no strong feelings for you either way.
Well the animation itself serves to complement statistical data covering UV figures and how they vary depending on time of year, location, cloud cover, etc., based on data gathered by UV readers worldwide and also data gathered by the World Health organization. It's all pretty much aimed at kids, though. But even though it's a common sense scenario, there are somwe stupid shmucks out there who may not know these things.
And the animation also serves to demonstrate exactly what UV index is achieved at certain areas, for example, Iceland (the country, you fuckers!) will have a low index, around 1 or 2, represented in green by the WHO. Kenya, or somewhere like that will be a 10 or 11+ (red and purple respectively). In the UK, 5 (yellow) is probably a good guess.

Thats to do with albedo effect as well as atmospheric though. Don't forget the suprising results produced by aboreal forest regions and the increase due to the earth being an oblate spheroid ;)

Fuck it though, I'm only designing something to a brief. They had to explain it to me in stupid people terms so I could make something that looks nice. I know nothing about sciency stuff :)
And kids aren't gonna be interested in th albedo effect, they just want pretty pictures and stuff. Unless they're from the home counties of course. ;)

Courtney 'Arquette' Cox looks great though
Never got into Frasier. Ditto Seinfeld.

i only discovered seinfeld towards the end. it was Kraymer (or however you spell it) that made that show really funny.
Didn't you ever feel that Kramer's persona was a bit forced though?
Posted by
chandler, 11:06, 29th April 2003:
no more forced than some of chandlers stuff in friends.
Kraymer was the man! never thought jerry was very funny though, or the fat guy who is the voice of Duckman
Chandler does my nut in! Just not that funny any longer. (Friends Chandler that is)
Frasier is still good after a hundred years or whatever. Never watched much seinfeld
Posted by
chandler, 11:13, 29th April 2003:
fl: :)
ilbm: i do like frasier again but there was a bit of a dip for few episodes when i even considered not bothering any more. but it did get back on form again
I've said it before and i'll say it again, the more they pay them, the less they try.
that compulsive eating angle in frasier was fuckin' awful.
Vic, just like everyday work then?
Posted by
chandler, 11:28, 29th April 2003:
I only discovered Duck-man in the last couple of years. I downloaded loads of them from the net. but dont know if you remember that cliff hanger one where they are at the wedding and then duckman's wife walks in (who we all thought was dead) and then it ended.
was there another part to that episode (think it was ep 70) or did the series get canned then?
Posted by
beargod, 11:30, 29th April 2003:
I hated Duckman it was so boring, that was like seinfeld unfunny
Posted by
chandler, 11:31, 29th April 2003:
duck-man is a quality series, beargod doesnt like it but i thought it was great.
he was a private dick and had a parner pig called cornfed. it was quite dark and surreal
his son Ajax was mentally deficient and his other sons Mambo and Charles were siamese twins, they had two heads and necks but shared a body! it was great.
and he'd say things like "I havent had this much sex since open day at the morgue"
actually he might have said "this much fun" i cant remember.
Posted by
beargod, 11:33, 29th April 2003:
Yes i did say unfunny didn't I
Foggy, i was talking about me.

its very witty, and nothing like seinfeld. beargod doesnt like it cos he's scum :D
Posted by
beargod, 11:39, 29th April 2003:
Plus I have seen it, chay said it was brilliant so I downloaded a couple of episodes, we just sat there in complete bordom, no sound of laughter, just sitting there bored waiting, hoping that the last 20 mins havn't been wasted hoping something funny would happen, but it never did
ah, so it was 'them' as in 'Me'?
Dunno why you thought it was boring, it is quite dark though, which gives the feeling of a slower pace than usual. Very early 90's though.
Did it ever take off here? I remember Sky One showing it back in '93 and Paramount repeating it more recently but I don't ever recall it being shown on terrestial TV.
Posted by
beargod, 11:49, 29th April 2003:
I don't think it was on terrestrial, because it wasn't good enough to be bought up
I remember it from somewhere but i can put my finger on where.
Posted by
chandler, 11:50, 29th April 2003:
i only found it online after it was mentioned in one of our animation lectures.
i remember thinking wow i'd love to do a series like this one.
Posted by
chandler, 11:51, 29th April 2003:
one of his catch phrases was
"What the hell are YOU looking at"
:)
It was done by Klasky-Csupo wasn't it?
But Chay, if you did a series it'd be about bloody raccoon things and sodding mermaids.
Posted by
beargod, 11:57, 29th April 2003:
maybe it was funny in a way that was invented for duckman and died with him and never really caught on much. I like my comedys like Blackadder and the Young ones, "classic" Funny, not "Dumb" "Funny"
Posted by
chandler, 12:10, 29th April 2003:
yeah it was Klasky-Csupo.
titles were good too
and the evil King Chicken who was Duckmans arch nemesis. he was a fat chicken with an elvis quiff going on
Posted by
beargod, 12:17, 29th April 2003:
titles were good too
That is the funniest thing about duckman :(
Wouldn't have said it was dumb at all. It could be quite witty, dry, and darkly surreal. And as much as I like the Young Ones, you could say it falls under the banner of "dumb funny".
Visually it was good too. Although very much a product of its time, it had it's own sense of atmosphere which is quite unusual in animation (a few other minor series of this period acheived this though, like Tim Burton's "Family Dog", which bombed terribly). The humour had the whole Yiddish undertones as well, which wins it a few points (Klasky-Csupo took this a bit further with Rugrats though, despite it being made primarily for kids).
There was even a bit of a Ralph Bakshi feel to it....

beargod, 12:41, 29th April 2003:
It had good animation and drawings agreed, I think i found the lack of humour more annoying after chay had made it sound really funny
Although you could argue that the White Stripes and Garbage aren't at all unique, but have achieved more exposure than others doing the same thing.
The only reason that the WS have done so well, when there are apparently other bands out there doing the same thing (albeit unnoticed), is purely clever marketing and gimmickry. And you could argue that Garbage would still be merely a side project from Shirley's "normal" band Goodbye Mr Mackenzie had it not been for the attention gathered by the whole Butch Vig connection.
Posted by

The neighbor dropped in on a friend and found her sitting at the kitchen table, staring blankly at a half-empty cup of coffee; her three kids squabbling loudly in the other room.
"What's wrong Marge ?" she asked.
Marge told her that she had "morning sickness."
Surprised, the neighbor said, "I didn't even know you were pregnant!"
"I'm not." the harried young woman replied. "I'm just sick of mornings."
The police stopped two men yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks.
