Kitto Dare Demo
Funny ol' sunday morning in Erin Land - I'm gonna get a what-for from Mum when she gets back. Bah, she jumped to conclusions. Probably 'cause Manny was there and she just sorta snapped. But if she even tries to get down my reasonable throat about this...

Doing 'Internet Culture' in CCCT this week. Reminded me of something someone said, about why these people make awesome flash animations, post time-consuming artworks, stories and music on the internet. She theorised that it was a desire to 'give sometihng back'. The internet is like one great big share network, and people who give something back to it tend to be those who take a lot from it. I suppose that's why Napster was so popular, and why it's successors still enjoy vast ammounts of people connecting to them daily. It's a whole 'nother world out there. At's why I got my site, why Drazen's got his, why Blogger's so popular and why every jo and his puppy has a livejournal.

Anyway, moving along... we didn't win the quizz night, allow me to say in advance. Fair enough, given we only had four people on our table and most other tables had 10 or just under. But we had fun, and we ate spinach pasties wth cheese. So all went well. And we did surprisingly well. And I got into the habbit of writing 'some brittish guy' or 'some rugby guy' when I didn't know who the answer to the question was. Aaron lookes surprisingly diferent, for all the 'still liiking the same' parts. More mature. And Johnathan still sings like no-one I've ever heard - Damn that boy is good. They were all singing the usual jazz-ztyle caberet stuff, which seems to imply that Ms. Aralumpalum is still picking the music for some of them, unles sshe's really managed to instill a 'healthy apreciation for jazz' in each and every one of them. Or just picked the kids who had it. There was a girl there I hadn't seen before - She looked to be about 13 or 14 but man did she have a voice! Blew me away.

Zoe won a cheesecake shop voucher. I forgot to talk to her about my party. Bad me.

Beta... so...cool... ^_^!

Whoops - I forgot to ask Liam about the Show this year... Damn, I forgot everything this weekend.

Anyway, went to Kevin's birthday thing on Saturday. There was much cool drums being played, had to resist the urge to get up and dance. The beat will do that to me ^_^; But I remained seated, partook in the round games, all that stuff... It was cool. I got tired. I remembered why I don't play werewolf (I'm an uper fan of Werewolves themselves, I worry about growing out of that if I play them through an endless barrage of carnage and angst. Not that I don't inflict that upon plyers when I run games anyway...) Bah. Let's leave that there.

Anyway, not a bad weekend for one spent entirely at my place. I feel sorry for Liam - he's not used to being woken up repeatedly throught the morning by firstly the dog whining and whinging at the door, then by the dog barking, then by my mum coming home with Manny and clanking around though the kitchen, then by the dog whinging and whining and barking again... To his credit he managed to stay in bed.

Okay, that's probably enough for now. I haev things to do inside, and I should probably eat something soon. I tried my hand at cooking yesterday - my hand was vibrating like I had advanced parkinsons whenever I tried to hold the tongs or a knife... It made dipping 'taters in oil dificult.
