Mr Pigeon,... meet Mr Air Conditioning Unit.

I had the misfortune this week to watch a pigeon fall into an air conditioning unit on the rooftop across from my office window. With an explosion of feathers in a 20ft radius when it first went in, it sounded like a large stone in a washing machine on spin cycle for about 15 minutes after.

Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer?
Because it feels so good when I stop.

The Road To Ruin
"
Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, no where to go-o,
I wanna be sedated

Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

Well looks like its gonna be a bumper weekend.
Just got confirmation that I have managed to get two tickets for the Red Bull Rail Storm in George Square on Saturday. And we have a visiting master (Mestre Gato) from Brazil across this weekend, who helped create the Senzala group that Iam a member of. So will go to the session on Sunday.
And i have to create my new professional website. So damage limitation for Saturday night is in effect.

Muckle

Take gigantic and enormous and just like Wordsworth (remember him?? evil floating spelling cartoon character from early 1980s British educational TV prog...) build yourself a new word: ginormous. Use it in everyday conversation and people dont even blink, ie. I had a ginormous lunch today.

Position Sought : Dr Who

Question ~ What do you do with a history degree and a masters in software engineering? (Apart from look pissed off.)
Answer ~ Get a job as the good doctor, write a computer program that can transport you back in time in a small, but big on the inside, blue police box. And get a robot dog. Cool.
