Apparently on 30/10/2009, there were only 3 people using the flumes at the pool I do occasional hours at.
So, needless to say, the lifeguards up at the top of the flumes were very bored. More so than usual!
And we were too on 1/11/2009 – So we continued the genius work.

This is the result:

These were all created with cut flume tickets and stuck to the wall with water. Good times!

I have no idea what spurred me to do this last night.
My phone is capable of taking pictures every few seconds up to every 30min which somehow gave me the idea to photo myself sleeping to see how much i moved around. Don’t question creativity!

So the best way I thought of doing this was to literally TAPE my phone to the ceiling above my bed (using medical tape) and let to take a photo every 30min.

The results are as follows: (continue reading…)

So I just moved into my new flat on Friday.
Long story short, me and my (ex) gf moved in together a few months ago into a fantastic…and I mean REALLY fantastic flat in inverness.
But shit happens and we can’t stop fighting like cat and dog (infact worse than that… more like Mac and PC) anyways, so I say enough is enough after one last fight and she threatened to kick me out, and leave and move back to the block i used to stay in, but a different flat.

So i’m here now and its a roof over my head again. Bedroom is fucking tiny, but got the PC set up in living room. I have heaps of furniture so I seem to have dominated the flat now. The guy I’m staying with has been here 2 months and hasn’t got anything. In fact there are only 3 glasses in the flat so getting a drink is fucking difficult… I may resort to taking a swig of whisky, then a swig of coke just to have a proper drink

Tonight (Saturday night) I decided to have some people round for some drinks (somehow) and listen to music, watch stupid things on interweb or what i’ve already downloaded to PC and generally hang out. But my flat mate was so pissed last night…and today, he’d passed out in his bed. And no other bugger turns up except two friends from next door. (There are alot of us in this block in inverness that all work in the same place. Inc my brother and his mrs)
They turn up with Star Wars Monopoly which is cool. and I’ve got the american version on the PC (Yes, “american” with a small ‘a’ … Problem!?)
So I’ve been playing it quite a bit lately because I never had the chance to play Monopoly much though my life, as short as its been so far. And I figure I’ve gotten pretty good at understanding how to play the game well.
But no… I fucking lose as bad as ever. In the end, I just had enough money to re-mortgage some of my properties because I knew the next roll I was going to land on her hotel which was going to cost me 1250 Credits. No fucking chance I had the cash… So at least I go bankrupt and all my properties go to her. Which makes her happy and there are only 2 left which she would have to unmortgage.

Meh, sucks to be me. I don’t think I’ve ever won at Monopoly in RL.
Well… back to the computer version…

Although it says daily, it really depends how much time I have at work.
And as these are created at work, I only have access to basic tools to create these. Hence why they look badly photoshopped… well, to be correct, Gimped!
I have a portable version of The Gimp (GNU Image Manipulation Program) which I’m not very accustomed to using. But there would be many questions asked if I had a portable copy of Photoshop that I put on USB Pen or the work PC’s…

So, enjoy…   Mockups!

Think you can multitask? Try this: while sitting on a chair, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Then, while doing that, draw the number 6 with your right hand. You can’t help it: your foot will change direction or you’ll fcuk up your 6.

Similarly: move your right leg in anti-clockwise circles and simultaneously draw the number 8 with your right hand.

Another tricky thing to do: simultaneously rotate the index fingers of both hands clockwise. Do it slowly at first, but then pick up speed. Try to go faster and faster, and pretty soon your two fingers will be going in opposite directions! weeeee!

To all who may or may not read this.
Wishing you all a fantastic 2008!

Only 1818 Days till the end of the world (according to Aztecs/Olmecs) So lets make these years good eh!?

Start easy… another drink would be good.
