Unutterably Silly So what are you doing RIGHT NOW?

[Chi Cygni]

in bed, sick and bored out of my mind. Don't even feel like reading. Must be sick.

[WT Sharpe]

There's a lot of that going around. Hope you feel better soon. Have some chicken soup.

Thank you, that's very kind. I was just reading reviews of 1Q84 by Murakami. Wonder if it is worth buying/reading.

Dr. Drib's been reading it. Why don't you ask him in the Hey!! Let's get some action going! What are we reading? thread. I'd like to hear his reply myself.

Found it here actually

on the fence, doesn't seem like it would be my thing.

i'm wondering if reading in the bathroom is considered multi-tasking?

if only they had youtube back then, imagine the video clips .

LOL!
One urinator (sp?) actually complained to the police about it, saying it was dangerous. The police told him that since my father was an electrician he wouldn't do anything that would cause danger. I don't think they would look at it like that any more (it was 20 or so years ago). It did work, though, after half a year the problem stopped.

I'm reading it. It takes a while to get the story rolling, but it is a great read.

Thanks! I wonder if it wouldn't be good to actually change from the usual and retrain my grey cells, something fresh, new and out of the routine. Need to wait for new salary though...

on a side note, was lurking in and out of MR all day today

[SneakySnake]

Right now I am installing my programs on my new computer that bloke built for me
So nice to have a computer that starts properly now. he even put a couple of shootemup games on for me And it is raining and dark.

So the decision is, 1. do some work, 2 play COD MW3 or 3 play BF3?

Catching up in here before starting some dinner. And contemplating taking another Advil.

@WT Sharpe: That chicken soup looks mighty yummy.

Me too! I've been doing a lot more lurking than posting lately, because I've been busy both at work and at home after work, working on some research. I lurk on my (new ) smartphone when no-one is watching me... but let's keep that a secret

[SneakySnake]

bugga! looks like I was doing work. I guess that is good in a way. Now I have to wait for a phone call so I can do some more work. Maybe the shootemup game will have to wait a little longer.
