Theres this tower block concierge place i walk past everyday when i go into town. its not very appealing on the eye, big grey monoliths that look tired and old, Nicely contrasted by the urban retro main housing office bit at the front. Anyoo, recently builders have stuck giant scaffolding around them and are sticking large ceramic squares up the walls, like some sort of giant building cocoon. Will the tower blocks emerge as beautiful balconied structures with flowers and venetian blinds? I'm guessing no
Also, was doing some tidying and alphaomegatising (cause that what the word really should be, first and last letters to show it encompasses ALL the greek thingies) my book case, when i found something that made me go "eh?" does that happen to anyone else, where they find a book they had no idea they had and wondered where the hell it came from? Anyhoo, it being MY bookcase it was actually a comic. Scott Pilgrim-precious little life. Did i nab that off anyone without remembering? It's reasonably good, though basically a webcomic that, through dint of being real, you must pay! for.
After ploughing my way through the first bunch of mediocre big o episodes (and realising that its that same damn voice actor from every other anime ever) I'm on to the good stuff. This is what giant robots should look like! Big cumbersome things operated with pedals and levers that look like they were made by a pissed off soviet union. Not bloody streamlined androgenous samurai. Megas XLR had it right. I guess if anyone wants to borrow Big O (which as it turns out is also slang for orgasm) they are welcome to. should warn you though, it only makes vague sense if you've seen the original metropolis, made by ze germans (and devoid of any minorities i noticed)
Kind of getting cabin fever once again. not talked to anyone outside work since sunday. only my self to blame of course. accepted extra shifts cause i actually neeeed the money. next week is back to full time as the other guy scores yet more bloody holiday pay. Me and head chef were discussing if we get shafted (your damn right) on ours then its a pretty strong incentive to get our chefs arsed arses outta there.
thought of the day-due to its watery nature, ramen turns out to be pretty good for hangovers.

Ah I am wounded. I gave you that book for your birthday.
=D
Have you ever played Ring of Red on the PS2 Bob? Plenty of cumbersome walking robots there. All retrofitted with pedals and stuff that also look like it was made by pissed off World War Two soviets (and you get to fight grizzled soviet walking tanks too). I think Konami made it.
I'll bring the whole thing up sometime.
