he comes down here once a year.... cept last year. I didn't hear about him coming down last year... hmmm I've seen him twice before. I do love listening to all the crazy shit that happens to him..
i'm excited!

---

I've seen him once, from afar, at the big day out. He spat venom for a while. It was fairly cool. Have either of you (ABF, Zeej) watched his talk show? I occasionally see it while I'm channel surfing, but have never actually watched it.

I did buy a copy of "Bender's Big Score" because I want to make sure we get more Futurama stuff in the future. Otherwise, my main indulgence is Thorlo's socks, the best smart wool socks I have ever had- great for hiking, horse trekking or lounging about the house. They clean well and last for years. Worth every currency unit (insert unit from your galaxy) I paid for them! My next big purchase is a horsetrek in Transylvania (or Catalonia if the dollar continues to go south) , so all the money is being saved up for that. These trips involve riding horseback through historical places and often ancient riding trails and staying at ranches, hotels, campgrounds and all- with a chance to enjoy the local food and culture and meet people from the places we visit (my goodness do I sound like an older version of Leela!) . I hope the Transylvania trip works out though- I always wanted to see that area... and maybe scope out "The Honking" sites :-)

Hmm, Thorlo, you say? I usually wear some brand from Costco. Comfy and inexpensive, but they wear out in the heels pretty quickly. The best I've ever worn are under the actual trademarked SmartWool brand, but they's expensive. Though looking at the REI website, Thorlos are almost as expensive. I think it's time for a sockbuying expedition, and the weather's getting nice enough here that I can stomp the hills around town to test 'em out before I do anything serious this summer.

Of course my problem with doing anything serious is if I have the time, I don't have the money, and if I have the money, I don't have the time.

I've been going away/doing something once a month lately... Summer has been fun this year hehe

Honestly, this month is terrible though because I actually can't afford this trip in a couple of weeks if you boil it down.

I'm moving house on Sunday so consider removalist (up to $200), rent upfront ($455), bond upfront (another $455), car rego due in 2 weeks ($575) and car insurance another week after that (over $500) .. you can say I'm kinda fuckin poor right now So I probably shouldn't be spending money on accommodation, food, music festival tickets and general living expenses - but I am.

Have I mentioned how poor I am this month??

Besides PEELalia coming up in April, I'm just going to be saving for the winter ski season coming up. Wahoo!!!!

And this is Hypno. I'm concidering getting a buddy for him to, but I was advised not to add more than 2-3 fish to the tank to start.

Looking good! Make sure you get that frog sexed before you add any more, they can fight like buggers if you put the wrong gender in with an established one. I would give it a couple of months before you add anything else, the food and waste should be plenty to start it cycling off. You won't have to wait as long as with a marine aquarium at least

Seen it on TV last night and bought it today! The Uber-violent blond chick played by Laura Harris, gave me an unexpected stir, I dont usually go for skinny or violent woman.....

When I get the DVD I will post some screen shots of her in action!

Annoyingly, went to turn on the tank lights one morning last weekend and they aren't working anymore. At the same time, I noticed that a lot of condensation had formed on the inside of the little feeding lid thing, which I suspect is related... the condensation itself seems to be a result of the heater running like crazy on really cold nights, as I've only seen it happen one other time.

The most important thing in tanks is the flow - even with a marine tank you can keep it going for several hours with no heater, no filters, no light as long as you keep the water moving; without any ill effects on the fish. You're probably fine for a week or more as long as the water is still flowing as normal.

Nope. In my company flight attendants are the high status people- they make good money and work less hours. But I think my work is more interesting. I do product development... set up accommodations, tours, packages, etc. and then program the info into our booking system. I guess I am some sort of electronic tour operator?

Let's see ... did I actually buy anything today? Nope. In fact, I didn't even leave the house. Granted, this is bad, I should have gone to the gym, but oh well.

Hypno, Zoid, and Edna seem do be doing fine, though I'm not sure how they'll react if I don't fix the light issue, as they're supposed to get a simulated day/night cycle... so I need to deal with that... meh.

Cool

But flight attendants are seen as the high ranking ones ! WTF In the UK it is seen as a real blonde bimbos job or as you guys in the states call them Ditzy chicks and or gay men, but i guess people used to say that about us male nurses!

By the way multiple posts are frowned on by the mods here due to limitations in server space, etc. the threads are in fact limited to 20 pages because the system used to crash frequently when they went over that!

Can't beat 30 bucks for how well people on kilt forums speak of these.

No sporran though ... (An aside, wtf am I going to do with my cell phone, wallet, etc?) Of course, it will look much better on me than on that model (which I suddenly realize isn't a model ...).

But wtf are you talking about anyway? There's plenty of Irish heritage in the fire service, and plenty of kilt wearing. And drinking, carrying on, and ogling attractive women ...

Edit: hmm, I should be specific. Kilts are typically associated with Scotland, but they're from all the Celtic isles. And, that's an Irish tartan anyway.
