*ROFLMFAO*
*rofl*
*LOL*

This is Ping Pong like you've never ever seen before. Matrix-style ping-pong. I can't remember whose journal I found it in, I do apologise. It's quite big (3.4M), but... if you can be bothered to spend the time and bandwidth on it...

My decision, my decision is this.

Do I go buy beer, then go for a walk? Or do I drive to the Esplanade, walk, then buy beer? I think the second option is the best, 'cuz if I buy beer first, I will never make it beyond stage 2, which is "drink said beer".

Then again, Spin City is on.
No. Must go out.

I've made a decision. Another one. This is quite astonshing for me. 2 or more decisions a week? A day?!

I've been thinking for a little while, that I need to consider how much I'm drinking. Not that much in reality, but I've sunk into the habit of drinking every day. Not conciously, I should just add, but if there's booze, it gets drunk. This isn't a bad thing in itself, but it's a bad thing for me. Dunno if anyone who reads this would know, but as a student, I stopped drinking at all for over 6mths 'cuz I terrified myself with how much I was pouring down my neck.

Actually, it's all elmyra's fault. This comment. Quite a while back now.

Anyhow. My point is. After this weekend, no more booze in the house. None. No more nipping out to the Yellow Shop and grabbing 4 beers when I get back from work. No more picking up bottle of Deuchars IPA from Tesco, no more Goose Island or Brooklyn beer from Safeway.

This can only be a good thing.
Not hard, either!
Think if the money savings!

*gets the shakes at the thought*

The walking - I drove along to the end of my route today, and walked back along it to measure the route length. It's quite short, about 1.6miles or so. It's more than I normally do, so it's a good start. Might start going along to Gourock and walking along there, if I keep this up. There's more length there.

Need to go to work at 0900 tomorrow. Was in bed at 2030 last night, I woke up this morning at 6am and looked at the clock. Somewhere in my brain a switch went off and said "It's Wednesday, you're on HOLIDAY!!!! Go back to sleep!". So I did.

I then got a phone call, waking me up at 0945 asking "are you supposed to be in today, or not?". To which I responded "I don't know". Of course I was. Damnit. Apparently everybody thought I was supposed to be on holiday, which is why nobody called before then to ask why I wasn't in... The upshot of this, is that I had a REALLY short and quick day, and a lie in. However, I do have to go in tomorrow at 0900 to make up the 2 and a half hours I missed.

I'm sure I shall get by.

Downloading sprees are fun.

Cab Calloway has been on my hitlist today. As has India Arie. As has Streetband. (TOAST!).

Cab Calloway has an awesome voice.
I wanna sound like that :) And Louis Armstrong. And Sean Connery. Gawd could you imagine that mix? A Scratchy Scottish American? ;)

The program on McDonalds earlier was quite interesting. The Money Program team do some really interesting shows, I remember watching it with my dad when I was really young :)

Anyhow.
They were talking at first about McD's success, and how they grew and grew and grew and how they succeeded and how they have failed, and why they now have less success than they previously did. They touched on the pending lawsuits, which I think are utterly ludicrous.

Suing McDs for not warning people that their food is fatty? Excuse me? Can you please explain to me how this works? I can understand the Philip Morris & other tobacco companies lawsuits, because there is genuine evidence that they witheld details on how smoking is unhealthy. McDs - unless something really weird is happening - have never done this, surely?

Everyone knows that a McRib sandwich is the most fattening thing in the universe. Add on a portion of fries (FRIES? Fried? Fatty?) and a drink which is either loaded with sugar or some other sweetener, and you're on your way to a triple bypass!

Or is this just common sense failure again?
