Well, at work i had to learn how to backlap (sharpen) the blades of our triplex cylinder mower. This involved unbolting the heads off each strut and sharpening them individually, a feat which takes at least two people, and revealing many stuck or broken componants that needed repair.

Whilst this saved me a day out of the hot sun, it was still an arduous task. Then, after work, i had to go pick up my brother-in-law's birthday present (a webcam with a built in microphone) as well as a 640g HD for myself. I would have bought a 1T HD, but it cost too much.

Then, after spending over half an hour in traffic, i had to help my Beautiful Fiancee have a shower (yesterday she had an operation on her back to remove a cyst, so she cant lift her arm properly), then cooked dinner for both of us.

Only just sat down. Now i'm moving all my movies and games to my new hard drive, listening to Iced Earth on my headphones whilst my Beautiful Fiancee plays Farmville and watches The Devil Wears Prada beside me.

I am guessing about 200-300. It wasn't actually that bad a day. I did stop occasionally for food etc, but I have been here for a long time... I'll probally get to 1600 before the night is over. This must be what it is like for Neonbob...

Ha! I'm sure he'll remain non-plussed as usual. He's about as hard to surprise or move emotionally as a ice-cream punnet full of ice-cubes.

But thankyou! Been engaged for over a year now, and loving every second!

Just had an exam followed by having my ears flushed out with water to remove a megaton of wax 0_0. It's so nice to be able to hear things again :D. I felt kinda drunk afterwards though and couldn't stop giggling.

My iPhone has broken. There is a fix for it, but I won't be home to do so until late tonight.

I have an extra long 2 1/2hr commute today so i'll have to do it without Game Scoop or The Skeptics Guide to the Universe. I may not survive. Tell my family "Hello".

Works pretty boring today, but I've been fairly productive thus far.

that sounds like the most disgusting drink ever made.
Sounds like it, yes. However, it tastes like Ambrosia. That being the food of the gods. That being:

REALLY FUCKING NICE!!

Seriously though, make it right, and it's incredibly tasty.
Sounds pretty good to me - anything with peanut butter in HAS to be win. I'd probably leave the honey out though, sickly stuff that it is.

and I see you are new here, I'll do the "new guy" customs:

"welcome to the Escapist, where cookies are not stolen but earned, I am (one of) the village idiots, my particular area of idiocy is the bass."

If you have the time, look up a podcast called WNYC's Radio Lab. They do hour-long podcasts on stuff like science, religion and popular topics.

http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/

Some of their shows are hilarious, some are moving, all of them are interesting. Check it out.

Cant Stop! Hammertime!

It's 12:50 and so far my day has been pretty boring. I had an open mic night last night, but a 7:30 start this morning. Walked into university (50mins, yay!) was utterly silent through my seminar (1:30 hour, yay!) and then walked home (50mins yay!)

Now I'm on the escapist, but I will have to go back into uni again (yay!) for another seminar (yay!.)

and I played bass for the rest of the time. (played bass at home, not at school)
You sure do like talking about playing the bass... it's like in every comment I see you post.

Also, so far my day's been ok, Fire Drill at 7:30 this morning though which is lame because today is my lie-in day. Done a little bit of work but so far no lectures. Also I had a burger for lunch (mmmmmm). I'll have Lab work this afternoon which is actually piss easy. Then I'm gonna go for a run... which reminds me that I'm still kind of aching after I did a 45 minute run yesterday because I'm currently training for a marathon.
