Speaking of which...I just bought a bag of those yesterday, together
with some chocolate pralines[0]. I just _love_ "The Belgian House of
Chocolates" shop. This time I only spent 100 SEK though.

>(still without the axe, though....)

That's a pity. When was your birthday, again?

In October, she said, yesterday. She might be lying, though.

Umm, yes, come to think of it I think it's this Friday. Coincidence, huh?

You can keep imagine the most prevected things, Jenny. I *know* what I
mean and it's not nearly as perverted as you think.

My birthday was last week, and I didn't get ANY tithes. The last tithe I
got was, IIRC, from Danny Burstein over at Panix who felt sorry for me
after I had to deal with Bell Atlantic and so he sent me a huge chocolate
bar (imported). That was about a year and half ago, though...

Yeah, that's the thing. I don't feel like I have any right to whine, but
DVDs aren't exactly, well, romantic. Or even lust-provoking. Usually.

Give me your truffles, your liquor,
Your huddled chocolates yearning to breathe free,
The bittersweat of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I open my mouth beside the golden door!

scoops of dark chocolate ice cream.

Well, Roke just announced he can't afford that new disk this month, so
suddenly I have a lot more money to spend. AND I owe you 'but 400, so
let's drink beer together this saturday until we can't drink no more.

You can crash at my place if Ryd is too far away afterwards.

There's a 24-bit scanner standing here, available and ready...

If I can't be bothered to use one of many scanners at work, what makes
you think I'd be bothered to go All The Long way to your funhouse to
scan stuff? I mean, like... And if those are the photos I think they
are, I already have them scanned, at a sub-optimal resolution.

An overwhelming desire of using Windows 4.0 that'll give you blue
screen of death about twice a day[1]?

[1] Actually, it only gives blue screen of death that often[2] if you
use WinAmp at the same time as you do something else, but since
everyone here seems to lack the ability to work without music,
everyone listens to MPEGs[3] most of the day. Thus, they will be
provided with interesting hexdumps to lighten up their day at
least once every day, to much joy and merryness[4].

[2] Without WinAmp it only spontaneously evacuate the kernel about
once a week or so...

[3] Provided by this horrid Pentium[5] that has the absolutely shittiest
Plug and Fail I've EVER seen! Not to mention the built-in
graphiccard which cannot be disabled, and that is helpful enough
to show you every harddisk access by clevery coded picture
interferences. It also has the charming behaviour of dying[8]
every now and then just to keep us awake and alert.

[4] At least to us that run working OS[6].

[5] That doesn't run NT but instead a Linux tasting of RedHat. It also
provides Loftet with music so that we can boot Win95[7] for some
well deserved gaming for an hour or two without being forced to
silence...

[6] Should that be OS or OSes?

[7] Which, not surprisingly, at the moment refuses to boot on my PC
since it once more has managed to spontaneously lobotomize itself
into a non-working stage. One of these days when I can bear to see
the little drummer, I'll reinstall it again... *sigh*
I kinda miss Hellfire already. :/

[8] Which has one very amusing effect; when this Linuxbox dies,
there's a rather noticeable possibility that all the NT-boxes that
at the moment are playing an MPEG-stream provided by this box dies
as well. It's like a religious sect; when the leader decide to
commit suicide, it brings the rest of the MPEG-sect with it. NT is
NOT highly appreciated nor loved at this place. Thankfully I'm not
forced to touch it at all (or at least extremely seldom) since I
don't know enough about it. I try to maintain that ignorance.
