completely agree Ben. Those folks are courageous.

Wisdom teeth - had them out in the chair. Jaw hurt like anything afterwards, but that was because they had to chisel the dam teeth out from under my molars and I had a double wisdom tooth that was huge.

Saya - news channels - try abc.net.au - news radio or the tv station.

Excuse me for not reading the other posts. My five minutes is up.

I just read the following news blurb:

Robin McLeavy has been set to play the role of Abraham Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter for 20th Century Fox. The role is brief but sets the tone for the action. It's her death at the hands of a bloodsucker that hardens young Abe Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) into going to war against the growing scourge of vampires in the 1800s. (SOURCE)

Now this could be total crap, and I may end up not wanting to go see it, but the concept just tickles me so!

I didn't want to resurrect the old thread I made about that awful Human Centipede movie, but this caught my eye. Newgrounds.com has a game they are advertising called Human Centipede: The Game - all the challenges of classic Centipede with the added fun of human ass-to-mouth action.

AhaHahaHahaHahaHahaHaha!

That description is probably funnier than actually playing the game itself, so I'm leaving it there.

Good god, I'm moving in with my sister in May.

This is going to be interesting.

And I just realized this will be the first time I've lived in a house, I've always lived in an apartment building or dorm.

I'll be able to do laundry whenever I want!

I don't know about the rest of it, but you'll get really attached to that convenience of laundry facilities very quickly.

You are the only person I've seen mention that film apart from a guy I work with who told me about it. He's watched the whole uncut thing. He's a bit sick, likes serial killers and so on, so it didn't surprise me that he watched it. He described the things that happened in it. I was horrified. I don't even want to know how they got the actors for such a film. Vile.

There is no way in the world I could live with my sisters. i tried once to live with my dad after I left home. I lasted 5 weeks, and 4 of those weeks I was out of it they dont' count... But I do remember eating rockyroad and watching science fiction on TV.

I couldn't live without a laundry of convenience.

Cause wherever you go around the world, you'll find an Irish Pub!

The High Kings - "The Irish Pub"

That reminds me ... where am I drinking tonight?

Since I still haven't bought a laptop and am procrastinating as well as now being in possession of considerably less money than I had before, my boyfriend suggested I might try a Tablet of some kind.

I can't afford an Ipad or Samsung, but he directed me to this site. I have been ogling this device.

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/10-2-to...1-800mhz-53498


It doesn't seem too bad a price and is vastly cheaper than a laptop.

I am not remotely PC savvy, most of the specs are gibberish to me and the numbers are giving me the mental droop.

Does this look like a reasonably powered device for what I want? ( Net surfing and forum posting, youtube, spotify, MSN, email and buying crap from ebay )

Hmmmm ... the specs seem okay, but that doesn't tell you much. The advert doesn't indicate the brand name, but from the picture that shows the back of the unit I gathered that it is MID.

Searching for "MID 10.2 inch Android 2.1 tablet" on google led me to THIS SITE where the user reviews appear to be favorable, with a couple of mentions of needing help with resetting the device to factory standards. Also, that seller warns about not updating the OS without help from their support department. So that brings up a question of how good the support is from the company you're looking to buy from, which definitely has a much better price.

I find it amusing that the seller you're looking to purchase it from is demonstrating it's internet capabilities with a screenshot of a "page cannot be displayed" error! LOL!

My favorite Irish drinking song of all time ...

The Clancy Brothers - "The Irish Rover"

There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule
And fighting Bill Tracey from Dover
And your man Mick McCann from the banks of the Bann
Was the skipper of the Irish Rover

The price is good, but it does say under the warranty that if something goes wrong you have to send it to Hong Kong? And if its shipping from Hong Kong, is the importation tax bad in the UK?

Saya - I have NO idea . Argh...

Ben - Hmm... I do like it... I wouldn't know how to update the operating system anyway so that wouldn't be a problem for me. I just wouldn't do it. My boyfriend has bought a few bits and bobs from that site, and he's pretty pleased with the service and the quality of the stuff he got.

I guess I just like how portable it all is. I could get a netbook Instead I suppose, but in terms of what I want to use such a device for it's almost the same only netbooks are more expensve >.<

Might try and see it. I don't get a lot of time to watch movies. Usually takes me a week to watch a movie.

Mr Bat tried to get me to sit through inception, told me I had to pay attention. I have seen the first 10 minutes 3 times. I've got shit that needs doing, I can't sit and watch TV... unfortunately...

Except for big love. that's about the only TV show I watch and it's the last season, the last episode.. I'm going to miss poligamy (spe?)

I fell 2metres off a flying fox today.. I hurt bad, even with pain meds.

If only I'd landed on my ass, because I have enough padding there to last out 3 ice ages!

And don't ask what I was doing on a flying fox because it's friggin' mating season here for bats!
