Dahn to Margit
Aug. 23rd, 2005 06:14 pmStill silence re the job. Am beginning to make my peace with the concept of not having got it.
And the sun came out today! Woo! So we went to Margate to play House of the Dead (I did surprisingly well for a 1st timer - never played before because I'm so shockingly bad at Time Crisis!) and sit on the beach. There were two little boys getting a little girl to shovel wet sand down their trunks with a surprising amount of glee. They then waddled over to their mother and proclaimed that they'd shat themselves. I was amused.
Was also amused at this dialogue that took place between two young lads behind us as we were walking past a shellfish stall on the front:
Boy 1: (reads aloud from sign) Shellfish.
Boy 2 doesn't respond. Pause.
Boy 1: Woss 'Jellied Eels'?
Boy 2 ponders this for a moment.
Boy 2: Well, you know what eels are...
Boy 1: Yeah...
Boy 2: Well, it's them, jellied.
Have started writing a new little D&D story (and yes, I know I still have to finish The Lost! there's only a few hundred words left to go, but it's all explaining the first three and a half chappies, and it's boring me) but I want to actually finish this new one before I do anything with it - it's proving quite tough because it's very Old School, from one of the very first adventures, so I'm having to get my head around Eric being all shitty. Also started a little Lara Croft/Prince Of Persia crossover. Might end up being rude! Trying my best not to upset the Lara fans, but The Prince is just so much better at what she does... he doesn't keep running off cliffs for no good reason for starters!
This is all because, after months of it gathering dust in the corner of my living room, I have finally picked Warior Within up again. I just get depressed because he doesn't have that cute English accented voiceover any more.
'No no no. That's not how it happened. Shall I start again...?'
*Grrrr*
