News update



Apparently, according to my group of Form 2 students who attend various Hong Kong secondary schools, only people in big hats are in charge. They cite the Pope, chefs in any swanky kitchen, ‘that bloke who got shot in America’ (A.K.A. Abraham Lincoln), and, of course, the Fat Controller from Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends.

Also, from a particularly pants-wettingly funny crack!lesson* including a dangerous mix of P5 (ten-year-old) students and myself high on green tea (hey, don’t knock it till you’ve done it), ninja monkeys are equipped with lightsabres that have had their power units swapped out for fruit (read ‘herb’)-based sugar sources to produce blistering moments of naturally beneficial squirtiness. Yes, you’ve guessed it - bananasabres.

According to the same sources, Doctor bloody Who’s ‘running music from season 3’ (officially known as ‘All The Strange, Strange Creatures [The Trailer Music]’ by Murray Gold) now trumps the Indiana Jones Theme as the ultimate Monday morning get-your-arse-out-of-bed music. However, it’s a toss-up between ‘Boe’, also by Murray Gold, and ‘Labour Of Love’ by Michael Giacchino (from the Star Trek XI soundtrack) as to which plucks at the heartstrings more.

On a completely unrelated note, the first two attempts to graft Snow Leopard 10.6.3 onto a clean Eee PC 901A have not met with success. However, NetBookBootMaker et al is being shucked in favour of Chameleon, so hopefully by this time next week we’ll be victorious.

That’s about it.

* Crack!lesson:
Named after the drug to imply that the tone of the lesson can only be the product of a deranged mind, crack!lessons can be identified by their absurd, surprising, or ridiculous premise. Generally they are full of fall-about laughter, puns and in-jokes.

Poem



From Face. Cos he knows of what shit he speaks:


Look to this day,
For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today, well lived,
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.



Apparently it's a Sanskrit proverb. Ah, that Face, eh? Always nicking shit from somewhere.

*warm grin*

SPN Headlines



With the LOLCAPs taking me close to 5 hours for each episode, and me having something of a need to go to work at times, it’s proving impossible to produce them for season 6 of Supernatural. However, I cannot let this new season go by without some kind of comment from me.

And so, dear reader, SPN TONIGHT: NEWS HEADLINES - you can has it! Obligatory warnings:


1. It’s SPOILERY! Like all the other SPN headlines will be SPOILERY!
2. None of the people, characters, plots or owt belong to me. It’s all The God Who Is Eric Kripke’s, baby.
3. Your Mileage May Vary regarding the humour herein. Please comment if you feel the need.
4. Each episode will probably prompt 5 (yes, just five) caps, so it’s probably not going to be as dial-up-eatery as the LOLcaps. Yay!
5. Distribute, disseminate, share, RT and generally pimp the link to this page wherever you want - but please do not nick my icon or pretend you made these entries. (If anyone wants raw caps just ask and I'll send them.)
6. There is no number 6.


So, for the duration of season 6, I give you the first of many (well, 22, in all likelihood):




Don’t click this link if you don’t want to see spoilery caps for season 6!

Captions and actions



Ok, not so much action as caption. I know I've not been here in an age but I have been taking a few seconds to update my sister-ship.

With rather childish captions. Sorry, couldn't help it. They're here, just in case you're wondering.
