    LJ-Cut
    I've given this a lot of thought, and come to a decision.

    Rather than keep people on my FL who don't post / only post once in a blue moon / I don't read when they do post just out of politeness, I'm going to cut them.

    If they're that offended by being cut, they can always ask to be re-added, right?

    Right.

    Pricks
    I'm sorry if I make people think I'm a pedantic prick.

    I'm sorry if I make people think I'm any kind of prick, in fact.

    But fuck me off, and I guarantee I'll be a prick.

    Grrr.

    FanFic #10 of 2006
    This is for [info]bittertwist.
    Although it's not the road trip, it's at least a scene from it.
    If it's enjoyed, there may be more.
    With that said... on with the fic!

    X-Men 2 review under this one, kids. Whaddaya mean, you don't care? )

    Didn't win the quiz, but meh- at least we managed to shut Just Us up about Henry VIII and his divorces.

    Not sure what I'm up to for the rest of the day- any suggestions?

    [info]silentbob9484, perhaps this is why that bus-stop was sealed off?

    The Eternal Conundrum Of Breweries And Piss-Ups
    So, I'm one of the senior members of staff here this morning.
    So I have to set up tills, etc.

    So naturally no-one thought to tell me where the key to the safe was.

    Hurray for the key-finding skills of caretakers, is all I'll say.

    In other news... there are these curious things called "lj-cuts", kids.
    You apparently use them to hide all the huge-ass MeMes you fill my FriendsList with when you have nothing better to do...

    Query
    I'm clutching at straws here, I know, but...

    Is there a term for being able to get visions from touching objects?

    You know, as in "we found this knife, and by touching it got a vision of it last being used in the previously unsolved Black Woods murder"?

    Or, y'know, words to that effect?

    I just have an idea for a story using it.

    And no, [info]king_of_bees, it features neither tentacles nor mutants.

    Folks- your help would be appreciated...

    Musical Heroes MeMe
    Blame [info]silentbob9484 for this. The gist is I name 5 music heroes, then name 5 folk to name their heroes... yadda yadda yadda.

    1: James Hetfield. The lead singer of the mighty Metallica, and the man most likely to make me wish I was in a band.
    2: Axl Rose. The bloke's a twat, apparently, but his band ruled back when they were thin and druggy.
    3: Trent Reznor. A lot of NIN's stuff leaves me cold, but a lot of it... damn, it gives me shivers.
    4: Jon Shaffer. He's the creative genius behind/bassist bloke from Iced Earth. A lot of folk in the METAAAL community think he's a twat, but I think he rules.
    5: Andrew Eldritch. Again, folk in the Goth community quite rightly think he's a twat, but the man responsible for "Temple Of Love" and "Dominion" will always have a special place in my black, black, BLAAACK heart.

    And I tag...

    To which race of Middle Earth do you belong?

    They forget to mention that Numenor's where several of the Nazgul came from.
    :D

    Just sent off a form for a prospective job- fingers crossed!

    Still no further to figuring out what's wrong with my Hotmail- Bueller?

    Question
    ...for [info]guru_aidan, jesterson, funkmasterr (or indeed anyone who can answer)...

    What are the Temple Bar Music Center and the Ambassador like in Dublin?
    And is 26.75 a lot in Euros?

    Update #2- You Can Tell I'm Not At Work Today

    Get your own spectral analysis from Area 23®


    Not quite sure what this is/means, but it reminded me of The Outer Limits, so I'm posting it here.

    And here's that review I promised you earlier.

    LJ-cut to avoid boring the crap out of people )

    In other news... I have a question. Is anyone else having problems logging into Hotmail/MSN Messenger, or is it just my shoddy AOL playing up again me?

    You only have yourselves to blame for me posting this- you weren't mean enough about the last one! :P

    Inspired By A Creepy Moment Last Time I Was On The Tube )

    There will be a review of The Manchurian Candidate at some point in the future, by the way, but for now I need to get back to my Projects.

    Projects?

    You don't need to know, muahahaha.

    Oh, alright, it's some things I agreed to do for work. I just thought "you don't need to know" sounded cooler. Spoilsports...

    Guilty Pleasures MeMe
    As both jesterson and [info]friendly_otter have tagged me, I reply.
    None of this "subversion" lark for me, thankyou...

    Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 Guilty Pleasures" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about their 5 Guilty Pleasures as well as state this rule. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names.

    A Warning To The Curious )

    Right, that over, I tag...

    Why I Didn't Win The Evening News Writing Contest )

    Watched House Of Wax with [info]king_of_bees last night. He went "eeurgh" a record four times- mostly due to Achilles tendon slicing, but also due to what was done to Jared Padalecki's face in it.

    He's also now suggesting I write fanfic about it.

    Strange boy...
