Why Time Travel Does Not Happen Much Nowadays
The problem with people sitting around waiting for information to come from the future, is they are sitting around waiting. What they should be doing is sitting around and sending information back to their past self. The problem with this, is if I sent information regarding last week's tattslotto numbers back to myself (which I regularly do), is SHS from the past goes and puts on tattslotto and then wins and then forgets to sit around and send the tattslotto numbers back to himself in the past, which means he does not win. That is the problem with time travel, least nowadays.

Bruised body and pride
Well the story would be much more entertaining if I had a good reason not to be able to sit down, but alas it is my own silly fault. Took a fall last night and now I have bruised pride (who at my age can say that in the space of 2 weeks can fall twice and injure themselves WITHOUT being drunk?) and have a great deal of body pain to add to the mix.
Love it how the doc calls it "soft tissue damage." It is a bruise..... back of the hip and bum. Hence the lack of being able to sit down or get comfortable.
At least my knee has healed from where I fell up the stairs last week.
Hope that everyone else is fairing better than me health-wise. I am indulging in a pity party here for being so silly, and hating the fact that I have to stay home from work for a few days. Would be so much easier if I could work from home.

I had SUCH A ROCK STAR CRUSH on this man ...
...now when I watch this I'm just irritated that his backing vocalist Helen Terry gets so little screen time because she makes the song...

What If Scenarios...
The other show I was watching the other day, coincidentally not on the same day as Beauty and the Geek, was Futurama. Futurama, not coincidentally, is a much better show than Beauty and the Geek... allow me to ramble once more before I attempt to make a point - right now I am following a stream of consciousness and I do not know what the final destination will be... animation takes a lot of effort, or at least it used to, that is why cartoons are awesome, as people have to really think about the message they are trying to give before spending 36 hour days re-drawing the same character over and over and over again, unlike blogging where a person can just ramble on for paragraph after paragraph after paragraph without actually making a point - like Beauty and the Geek... what was I talking about again?
Oh yes Futurama, and the episode where they look at some What If? scenarios... Here is my What If? scenario... What If Buttocks never told a certain member at a certain other forum to get pharqued? Where would we be now? That is, has this forum impacted on our respective lives enough to have actually changed the trajectories of our lives...?
Beauty and the Geek
I watched Beauty and the Geek last night... but let me waffle on about something else for a bit... people may enjoy some porn every now and then, but it is not the plot of the porn that is the attraction. For the most part a plot line to a porn movie is insubstantial relative to the rooting. Thus, a plot line of the average porn is usually as substantial as; a person from one walk of life, meets a person from another walk of life at a highly improbable destination, and like in some warped Brechtian fantasy, when the heat gets turned up, some weird eighties music starts from sources unknown...
Which brings me back to Beauty and the Geek, the person who wrote Beauty and the Geek, obviously has ancestry within the porn industry; some weird looking guys, meet some dolled up tarts, and together they do some weird shit in an isolated mansion. The only thing missing is the rooting... and the weird eighties music which accompanies the rooting...
Is that the attraction to the show? Do people watch it, fully Pavlovian conditioned in knowing that when strangers meet in a strange place some rooting will ensue. Thus they sit in front of the television, like well trained dachshunds, with one hand poised over their groin in anticipation of some spanking? The show obviously does not have any plot or point that I can tell, did I miss something?

cartoons and fatosity
did yooz avail yourselves of the current too-do re: cartoon characters applied to the externals of dud breakfast cereals? apparently, right thinking fibrous types want them bant on account of they make kiddies eat crap, and subsequently grow to immense proportions.
pardon my ignoramousness, but surely 4 year olds haven't started doing the weekly shop? I know kids are growing up fast these days, but isn't that pushing the barrow a little too far out onto the autobahn? the last time I checked, mummy was buying the breakfast cereal. so it must be mums who are, lemming-like, drawn irrevocably t'wards boxes adorned with cartoon characters. in which case, shut up!
until the angsters actually have the testiculars to stand up and say it out loud "PARENTS MAKE KIDS FAT", our poor youngens are going to be clobbered as eedyots. no child is an idiot, but plenty of parentals are. there, that's better :D
Oh Dear
Days of Silence.......
My excuse is a paper for work.
I'll be back around next week.
What have the rest of you got to say for yourselves?

Conan in 3D
After Conan the Barbarian (the classic film with Arnie) I wondered where they could go with a re-make. Surely the depths of Conan's character were well and truly explored in the first film (i.e. why there was not too much left to explore in the sequel - Conan the Destroyer). What dimension of Conan's character was left to explore in the Conan the Barbarian remake?
The third dimension.
The third dimension makes it possible to re-make all the classic 2D character movies into a 3D extravaganza! I want the Popeye movie remade...

Happy Fathers Day
.....Kid A made husby several works of art all about how much he loves spaghetti. (He hates the stuff and I cook it whenever he's home late & not eating with us)
Doctor has informed me own dear Pa that he canna drink no more (and there was much rejoicing). He's a ritualistic nutter, and he's just discovered that tea has tannin as well as wine. So I've bought him several high quality black teas and his own personal pot. WIsh me luck. I'll turn him into a geisha yet.
Husby's birthday is nearly upon me and I've spent up big & bought us tix to see QI live. Sometimes I think he loves Stephen Fry more than he loves me. So I'm easing off on Fathers Day gifts for him...

Omigosh
Husby arrived home late Monday night from work.
He put toddly to bed, then said to me 'our kids are fantastic. i'm really enjoying them at the moment. They're at a beautiful age. Not only do I love them, but they're really nice people'
:0
He hadnt gone mad or anything as far as i can tell. Just having an attack of benevolence. Highly unusual. Very sweet. Then he made me a cup of tea.
