RANDOM RAVES : Kick it up a notch! (term is over!)

Someone brought to work a bottle of "Chargrill Charlie`s famous piri piri sauce" and we are all hooked.

Now there is a constant stream of salespeople walking up to KFC just to buy chips, popcorn chicken, whatever just so they can drown it in this sauce.

The Swiss train system is the greatest thing ever.

Jeremy Clarkson disagrees. And Richard Hammond and James May must concur.

Double whammy of goodness today.

1. New mobile phone. Still sticking with Android. And I can tether again.

2. Got my hard drive back, from the laptop that died last February. Ahhhh, now I can try to ramp up efforts to get my sci-fi universe out of development hell again.

Hmmm blood sausage.

 

[Borachio]

Do you mean a black pudding? Yum-yum. With vinegar and pepper. Haven't had one in years. They don't seem popular in these parts.

 

[Takhisis]

It's a form of black pudding, I guess, although recipes show great variations.

Wow, first time a YouTube recommendation got exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a Payday 2 beta bank heist completed stealthily and it was suggested.

Currently drinking a Franziskaner Weissbier after a long day. And damnit, this is a good beer that really makes my day better.

If you don't think Weeds is the tightest ever, get out of my face

I bought a 60 inch TV. It will be hung up on my basement wall when it arrives.

Then I will have to buy a couch I think. And then I'm staying in my basement forever.

 

[SamSniped]

Watching some stand-up comedy from Dave Chappelle on Youtube now, then headed out to the MLS All Star Game later today

Somewhat surprisingly, squash is a hell of a lot of fun.

I've heard it's pretty dangerous, you can take eyes out what with the balls being just a bit smaller than the eye socket. Or something like that. I was told it years ago and they might have been pulling my leg.


...Anyway, I'm off for a rather impromptu trip to London for the weekend. Time for the whole "Small town boy lost in the big city" kind of thing

Accompanying rant; I'll have to use Central Line in hot and humid weather to get to my friend's place. ugh.

 

[Kyriakos]

Well, i just returned from a walk in the center of the city, and while being at a bookshop to ask about a new book centered on Kafka's "blue notebooks", i learned that the latest issue of one of this city's two main literary magazines just reached that bookshop.
It indeed has inside one of my stories It is the second time i am published in that magazine, and in total now have 16 published stories in a number of printed periodicals

Some happy news for me, at a time when i am still trying to find a decent job with a reasonable salary...

The newly published story has a title which in English would have been "The spider". It is about someone trying to commit suicide, but ending up imagining a twisted plot that disables him from ending his life.

There are safety goggles for that. If you like the game well enough I would acquire a pair. Don't think they're super spendy unless you want them to be.

 

[Takhisis]

That is very good news, Señor Kyriakos!

One day I'll be able to read them, too!

 

[Kyriakos]

^ Thanks

Been a fairly interesting week! After Japan, went to both Koreas, before flying to Brussels via Abu Dhabi, and now finally adding to the list the creme de la creme of the tourist world - Essex.
