Did I link to this article before? / Die Vogelgrippe??
typed for your pleasure on 3 November 2005, at 2.05 pmSdtrk: ‘Let the wind catch a rainbow on fire’ by Death in June
Found another article on das Infobahn about Japan implementing robots into everyday living. I mean, moreso than usual. However, it does make prominent mention of Kobalabs’ SAYA-chan, so there you go.
In the meantime, I’m fighting what may be a small-scale flu. I’m not as fatigued as I was yesterday, and food is tasting less like looseleaf paper, so I think I’m on the Road to Recovery. I still feel like a pig shat in my head* a wee bit, though. Damn this frail human body! *weakly shakes fist*
In any case, I’d better be well enough to see Broadcast, as they’re playing at the Magic Stick this Saturday. Perhaps I’ll go back to bed for the rest of the day
*fifteen Cool Points to anyone who can name the film that quote came from

I would name the film, but my thumbs have gone weird.

Funky thumbs are no way to go through life, son.

To celebrate my new Cool Points, I want the finest wines available to humanity, I want them here, and I want them now.

We would gladly supply you with said wines, but our wine supplier has gone on holiday by mistake.
Would you like a rabbit instead? Here hare here.

If I ever see that silage-heap hanging about up here, I’ll take the bastard axe to him.

He told me that he has a heart condition, and that if you hit him, it’s murder.
Also, his wife is having a baby.

Well, I would have said Trainspotting, but judging by the above comments, I’m not so sure… of ANYTHING! Whaa-hey! LOL
DC, I hope that you are recovering from your nasty bit o’ the flu; stay away from any foul winged fowl, and cuddle up w/ the missus (assuming she is warm 😉 ), I would think thrice about going out on the town Sat nite, but then I would say that hehe…
PBS & Lily (who sends hugs and bowls of chicken soup… o wait: starve a flu and feed a fever? Um… a cold? How does that one go? Ack. Feeling dizzy…)

Abarth?!?

It looks like a school crest with a scorpion for a mascot! The Abarth Scorps? Hmm… beware their sting…

ABARTH! It’s the racing department of Fiat, maker of one of the finest cars in Christendom. 🙂
And PBS et Lily, the film in question was ‘Withnail and I‘, one of the finest films in Christendom.
And I was ruminating on that ‘starve a cold, feed a SARS contamination’ thing a day or two ago. I couldn’t divine a proper answer, so I went back to bed where Sweetie was. Sound advice!

Hi DC (and ever-lovely Sidore-chan),
(heavy sigh) I really need to get out more LOL
Glad to see that you’ve recovered, and back to normal!
Realdolls = Chicken Soup for the um… flesh? I’ll work on that… 😉
