EndreWhiteMane: So, pretty much business as usual then? :-)
avatar
CarrionCrow: Yeah, pretty much. ;)

It's a bit of a logjam at present, and if I switch to another chunk of stuff I'll eventually feel the need to start everything current over again.

I do not want that.
Smart move. I wouldn't want to go through it the first time, let alone a repeat performance. ;)

CarrionCrow: Bonus points to you for not responding to the laser scalpel question with, "Because this isn't Star Trek, you fucking retard." =)
avatar
ddickinson: I really wanted to respond with something like that (minus the cursing, because I'm too polite for that :-)), and if it had been on our farm I might have done. But I just stared in disbelief and then tried to correct him. Eventually I just ignored him and carried on.

adaliabooks: Laser scalpels... LASER scalpels.
Wow.
So, presumably he thinks he's going to be some kind of fucking jedi knight? Carving into his patients with a light saber?
He does realise that a laser would instantly cauterize any wound, making it useless as a cutting implement... probably not.
I particularly like the "Mummy and Daddy aren't paying for me to be thought out of date methods", I can practically hear the upper class tosser now...

Thanks, that's cheered me up a bit :)
avatar
ddickinson: A Jedi vet, that's probably a new thing in the upcoming movies. As for cauterising the wounds, I really don't think this kid would even know what that meant, even from overhearing other stuff he mentioned to his friends, he sounded so uneducated. I get the feeling his parents will probably just bribe someone eventually to get him his job as a vet.
Or possibly, his parents will find that it's cheaper just to have their steaming lump of stupidity-spewing disappointment killed.
Then, ironically, he can be fed to pigs, Snatch-style. ;)

EndreWhiteMane: Should have just brought out your cell phone, pointed it at him and said: "I think I left this set on stun". :-)

ddickinson: You clearly have not seen my cell phone. To give you an idea of how old it is, I have to text in Morse code. :-)
Do you have to tie a string from it to the person you're calling? :-)

Yeah. It's annoying enough remembering eight different plots and control schemes.

You said you were thinking of clearing space to try some games. Any luck with that?
Also, how's the whole pill thing going? Anything hitting besides the sudden onset naptime?

(Holy shit, that's a lot of question marks...)

adaliabooks: I'm playing FTL, which is probably the limit of my masochisticly difficult games...
Might actually win this run (or at least make the boss, which I count as near enough in this game..) due to some uncommonly good luck.
avatar
CarrionCrow: Dear gods, I haven't even started that one yet.

Once I clear the five platformers I've got, I'll try that one.
Not getting a vibe of happy fun times if you're saying just seeing the boss is close enough to winning...
I highly recommend it. One of the best games I've ever played. It's tough, but rewarding. There is a lot of luck to it, but once you learn what works and how to play with different configurations it gets easier. One of my favourite bits is that practically any configuration is feasible, some things work much better and make life easier than others, but every combination works.

The boss is ridiculously tough though, but if I reach the final sector in my current ship I unlock a new one :)

Sadly people like him usually get what they want. Do not forget we live in an age were money talks. But at least he will be going back to Wales to become a vet, so I don't have to worry about seeing him again. :-)

Your phone must be really advanced then...

Didn't get to the hard drives today, had a dead printer, an equally dead laptop and a slightly wounded hot water heater to tend to today. Gladly none of them were mine and all lived. :-)
Pills seem to be OK so far, we'll see if the dose gets increased later in the week.

Strange... :-|
I can't explain...
I don't understand myself.
Tomorrow's a new day, as you say in english... :)
Maybe I should try to catch some sleep (?)...

How is yours ? better, hopefully ! :)

ddickinson: On to another topic, one of knives, vomit, blood, and dissections. :-)
SQUEEE! My favorite topic.

*Reads the story*

Oh God, my sides this was hillarious, the guy, the sheer idiocy, the righteous comment about how daddy was paying for his college education without realizing how pathetic it sounded. But we shouldn't judge the guy too harshly, he is welsh after all.

And yet, I'm surprised, one would think that the welsh bred better veterinarians than that. I mean, those people really LOVE their sheep.

Yeah, I will be steering well clear of any Welsh vets, just in case...
It's sad that people like that will just buy their way into anything they want...

*Looks at his watch.*

Tomorrow is already today.

Sleep is for the weak, like sanity and personal hygiene.

Hehe, you get those stereotypes in Spain too? :)

I had a phone like that. But two years ago it broke and could not be repaired. Now I have one of this new ones... and it is just lying in my backpack 95% off the time :D
