I have an agreement with Katy that anything that happened more than 6 months ago is not valid in an argument. So far, with the exception of two notable events, this has held true :)
True, how true…

February has been a shit month
The month is over and I'm glad it is. Looking back on it, February has been a shockingly bad month. Craptaculous, even. Katy was sick. Tokyo was cancelled. We both had a case of the grumps. The fridge decided to pack it in and blew up† and now the laptop is showing signs of imminent total graphics controller failure.
I can only say:
†We had a power cut last Wednesday that was supposed to last 2 hours but ended up lasting about 15. When the power came back on, it did something that the fridge didn't like. It started making a really loud clicking noise and was pronounced dead the following evening when we realized that everything in the freezer had defrosted. It's not too bad – we managed to salvage most of the meat by making huuuuuuuuuge meals and keeping stuff in the office fridge. We only lost about £70 worth of food (an average weekly shop). The really annoying thing though is that even though it's all under warranty, they can't send an engineer over until next Tuesday. So yeah. No fridge. Fun…..
Hire me, or the terrorists win!
This made me smile today :)
Board Chow
I was browsing when all of a sudden, the letter 't' decided that it become stuck on my keyboard, even though I hadn't even touched the damn thing. I had to do a hard shutdown of my laptop because I couldn't do anything else.
I flipped my keyboard and shook it on my desk. A rather distressing amount of board chow rained on my desk… Granted, I've been working with this keyboard for about 3 years now without ever cleaning it.
I dare you to flip your keyboard and give it a shake to see what rains out of it.
Um, ew?
Making it more difficult than it should be
We went to Starbucks last weekend. I just wanted a cup of tea. The dialogue went something like this:
Me: I'd like a cup of tea please
Starbucks Zombie: what size?
Me: Medium
SZ: what kind?
Me: um, English breakfast?
SZ: one bag or two?
Me: um, two?
SZ: room for milk?
Me: buh?
I ordered something for Katy as well. I always feel like a bit of a berk when I say “I'd like a grande one-shot decaf skinny caramel macchiato with whipped cream”. Makes me feel dirty, somehow.
Don't be happy, worry.
COMICS!!!!!
You remember a few days ago when I said that I had a few dozen comics lying around my laptop HD waiting to be put online?
Turns out I had 180.
180 new comics are now online, WOO!

I haven't updated my onlinc comic collection in AGES! I have a few dozen waiting on my laptop but I just don't take the time to do so. Here are a few recent amusing ones :)

Anybody that can make funny ninja toons rocks in my book. As a bonus, there are Dr. Who, Freddy vs Jason, Superman, Batman and Spiderman and Dracula and Frankenstein toons.
A better way to waste time at work I have not come across in a very long time!
