Friday Afternoon Disease

1. 6 Pack Kronenberg 2. Burgundy Kettle Chips 3. Tiger Prawns 4. Pizza 5. Toilet Paper 6. Evening Standard

Yay, I feel slightly less bored now.

1 cup water 1 glass milk 2 cans coke 1 packet of peanut M & Ms 1 banana

I like the fact that London is so full of monuments. Not just Cleopatra's needle, but the idea that there really IS a monument at Monument. Oh, and there's monuments every few blocks down sarf here, commemerating where people used to have wells until the Victorians bricked them over so kids and dogs wouldn't fall down them.

Or, erm something.

I think I'm going to have some Bombay Chewra Mix now. Yum!

Unless of course they pre-emptively named it after the Ultravox album (Tube stations and pop! Marcello, do your worst!)

What I have drank today: 4 glasses of water. What I have ate: Toast, and technically also antiobiotics, though it's not like I'm actually chewing them or enjoying the taste.

And The Monument... I mean, it's not even as big as Nelson's needle thing on Trafalgar Square, is it? Or was this another thread... there's a monument at Monument. There's an embankment at Embankment. There's a swiss cottage at Swiss Cottage. Now where is my Tooting Bec? I even dreamed about the Tube last night, trying to find a station called "Bec" or "Beck" or "Bac" on the Jubilee Line Extension. All mixed up with Life Without Buildings making me take them to a really, really expensive dinner at a posh restaurant and making me pay.

THIS BOARD HAS TAKEN OVER MY SUBCONSCIOUS!!! HELP!!!!

If you really want an alcoholic drink w/no alcoholic taste may I be so bold as to recommend the apparently now rather naff sea breeze? Even the 1:1:1 Cranberry/Grapefruit/Vodka versions as mixed by my own good hand taste perfectly benign.

Coffee at 11, coffee at 12, coffee at 1, office friday-binge chardonnay at 3

supper: finish off home-made salmagundy = totally fantastic even if i did forget the chives

Oh, you bet I do. It's a bit late now, but tomorrow! I will INDULGE!!! And probably be back in hospital within the week...

Pizza every day, my god, that is admirable. I used to have pizza for BREAKFAST every morning when I was about 20, but had to stop because it was killing me. My only question is, with acid production in your stomach stopped, how the heck do you digest your food? Surely that places undue strain on the rest of your colon?

GET A PROPER JOB and then you will be a MEANINGFUL CITIZEN and WURK on Friday afternoons.

Just a thought!!!

Honestly. As if there's a career in music or interweb.

No, seriously, now my health is restored (which really was the big reason I've been out of work for so long) I will start temping again. Soon. As soon as the weather stops being nice. Really.

I mean cool spelled KEWL is clearly not Molesworthian coz I learned it from American white trash. As does ROOLZ or anything with a Z.

I love etymology (that is the study of wurds, and not bugz, right?) but what does one do when confronted with all this?

Over the years it has come to mean any BOOZE. Booze sounds rather sleazy. BOUZE is much nicer and rounder and fuzzy. And we like the fuzzy BOUZE effect. We do... fancy a pint anyone?

Yeah, I hate that. BOOZE. BOOZE. BOOZE. It just looks better.

Food: 3/4ths of a Monte Cristo & some french fries (left over from last night's meal out); a raspberry-flavored hard-candy; a slice of tomato from a tomato & basil salad (quite tasty); orange soda (1 glass); 2 caffeine-free Cokes; water; a butterscotch.

A Monte Cristo is a FRIED SANDWICH. How ridiculous is that? Ham, turkey, two types of cheese, on wheat bread (at least, this one was), FRIED. Dusted with powder sugar, served with jelly. Comprises 2000% of my daily caloric intake. Oddly delectible.

Dude, you're getting gypped. A Monte Cristo is what you say, but served on french toast with maple syrup, mustard optional, pickles on the side. I order them all the time, they're great.

Today, I've eated a bowl of cereal. I'm thinking of getting dressed.

Bill

Tell me something good.

Do it!

I need to get ready for island camping.

alas, I cannot leave work. Work, these days, tends to follow me.

struggling to stay away

ugh

away?

AWAKE

see? so not here right now

Friday Afternoon is "Damn I'm exhausted, I'll put off these textbooks" day for me. I'll read half a chapter and then put off finishing it until midday Saturday.

two more hours, i've spent the day reading reviews for beer. PLEASE LET ME OUT SO I CAN DRINK BEER.

ha

I am totally leaving early and going to get a pedicure. There's nobody here and I didn't take lunch and there's no way I'll make it until 5.

yeah once this place clears out in an hour im going to sneak off. F this. I thirsty.

I took the morning off, it's not making this afternoon any shorter, though.
Need a nap.

I'm starting a whole new dance style/class at 7pm and THEN going out for beer after. SO EXCITED, GUISE!

AWESOME.

What style of dance?!

im also trying to decide on either PBR or Naragansett tonight, since im feeling cheap. But i dont want to feel hipster.

http://www.narragansettbeer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/quint-crush.bmp

well i'll feel incredibly unhipster sitting home alone playing xbox.

The answer is always Budweiser. I don't care what the question is.

ENBB: Clogging/Appalachian!

OMG! How awesome is that? Have you seen the movie about Jesco White? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesco_White Totally nuts but v interesting and there's a lot of stuff about Appalachian dancing in there obv.

Yeah I could drink heavies, but im feeling really cheap. But im so dying for a Sierra Nevada Kellerweis

I would hate to sit around reading beer reviews all day then have to go drink PBR. Shudder.

yeah i know, im poor this week. but i do have a few nice beers in the fridge to drink before i have my pbrs.

That's why he should make like Quint and have Narragansett. It's better anyway.

yeah thats what im thinking 6'er of Tallboys.

right now im listening to Search and Destroy as loud as possible in my office. if i only had a beer now.

fucking on two antibiotics so no booze this weekend.

well, maybe one tomorrow. on the plus side am in london so work ended hours ago.

damien jurado, you are not helping my boredom.

OMG NO have NOT seen the Jesco White thing but I did see Talking Feet, which partly profiles D. Ray White, his father, and that's the part that quincie was talking about when she said those people are country.

Oooh I'm going to have to watch Talking Feet now!

The Whites are only in about the last 10 mins or so, but the whole thing is magic.

:)

don't you love when people pull the working from home card and send like really intense emails to prove they are working and thinking hard, smdh

Trust me, you will never feel time as thoroughly wasted as you have with these.

Friday afternoon into evening, Nectarine No 9 on headphones LOUDLY. Waiting for 7pm class, can't really start drinking BEFORE that. Unfortunately.

happy times

20 minutes to go.... it feels like 20 days....

out in 16…

I look at my monitor and my eyes cross. I focus them, start reading emails, before I get to the bottom of the page, my eyes cross again.

I put a rubber band on my wrist and snapped myself a few times but all I got out of that was a big red welt. :(

How can I be less bored?

boom. Margarita time.

I'm normally not in the office on Fridays...is the afternoon always this tedious?

This is so bad. We had a farewell lunch for a coworking with good food and drinks and now I'm faced with 3 more hours in the office. Help.

I quit coffee this week. Also cut down smoking considerably. FRIDAY. This belongs on the I'm drunk thread AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

i have this disease so hard.
helpppppp

Oh shit we're completely in the weeds now, that cured me.

did NOTHING this afternoon at work

dwi

I can leave as soon as I finish this thing I'm writing, but instead of writing it so I can get out of here, I'm reading ILM threads about the Chemical Brothers???

Friday afternoon disease for me these days means "shit I gotta do my Ober-Tre Kernewek!"

(Cornish homework)

I FINISHED THE THING SO LONG SUCKERS

I finished reading The Magician King this friday afternoon! As a writer, I think I have a mild defense here...

K I'm out

pfffff... somebody save me.
