    As promised, an update on @Moon . I watched it today, and it was good. Kinda slow in places, but interesting story. Guy alone on the Moon, under a 3 year work contract mining energy. Just himself and a machine called Gerty. Isolation starts to take its toll...and then you go and watch it yourself. :p

    Wrote a letter to Dad and included the key to the parents' place (I had one for the side door) but since I don't intend to go there I took it off my keychain and posted it. I also posted my old licence to the DVLA.

    I also returned some library books, since I'm going to Devon next week and i tend to prefer bringing books I actually own.

    Going to Devon? May I ask whereabouts? I lived in Paignton for a year some ten plus years ago. Wow, I feel old saying that!

    If that is the one I am thinking of, the guy put smilely faces on the computer.

    Watching people drive like idiots. The one with the trailer coming down
    the freeway like a tidal wave is fucking horrifying. :bigeek:

    I'll be honest, and say I have never heard of Woolacombe. Hope you have a great time. :)

    ETA: After looking it up, I have heard of some of the places around it.

    I always put the coconut in a bag and slam it against a wall. No mess and you get all the pieces that way. Yum.

    OT: Eating lunch. The houses I've seen so far are pretty amazing.

    ETA: If I brought a house out this way, it'd be significantly less of an assault on my savings. Significantly less.

    Feel like I am hallucinating. There appears to be a spider dancing around my chair above my head. Back and forth, side to side around me. It's a tiny spider, and it's hardly moving. What is this voodoo?! :confuzled:

    Just watched a funny recount of an act of domestic terrorism involving a bulldozer.
    While the whole thing is messed up, the guy narrating/animating it makes it quite
    funny.

    Figured since I'm going to be owning my own house soon, it'd be best to adopt a retired MWD (military working dog). A bunch of stuff to do like a wait list an and interview plus a drive all the way to San Antonio. It'll be worth it though. No point in having a house without some trained vet walking around.

    Also, bed time in one minute.

    "Jane Connie, age 25, arrested for the horrendous 20s crime of leaving the kitchen." *Insert grumpy mug shot* :p
