The Thorfy Variety Show
2005-Oct-16, Sunday 17:51Googlebomb of Forget the Rules
Forget the Rules. 3 x 3 minute episodes, released Monday through Wednesday at 08:00 Melbun time (that makes it 15:00 or so San Fran time), vote between a few options for where the show goes next. Amusing so far, and I'm curious to know where the show goes from here. mordwen and
crystal_storm are involved in various ways. Check the "cast teaser" vids for cameos of the latter if you know him. :-)
Partays
Attended artbroken and
blithespirit's housewarming, and the MUCS annual dinner in mostly the same outfit... Fuzzy bolero jacket, and the hat which was labelled as "funny hat" in the shop I was walking past with
lirion when I bought it. I also attended both parties with a russian accent, and a semi-standup routine built on the starting lines of: "Have special room - mirror on ceiling. You no have to do anything, just lie back. She do everything, yes? You just watch show on ceiling. Is just like internet pornography, only, how you say, more interactive?" People seemed to find it amusing, anyway. Having looked in the mirror, I probably really should have been carrying around a 10 foot Mongolian halberd or something, but ah well.
Ork
The orking proceeds fine... Being a contractor for a large multinational corporate is, in some ways, the best of both worlds. The worst part of being in a large corporate is the politics - and being a contractor, I get to shrug and watch it all fly over head and not care a whit. The best part is, they have the money to do things the right way, if they care to, and in the case of this project, they do. The sole frustration is that because they hired by shotgun approach, the productivity level of the other people around me who are also orking the cows varies from negative to average to superstar. Also, since they pay me well enough to wear a suit, I do... this has the ancillary benefit of meaning that I can just go in and tell the corporate managerial suity types which way we should go, and have them listen without making the assumption that I'm a scruffy tech geek.
WoW
It seems likely that my guild, <Ascending Order> is going to merge into <Strangely Ironic>. This is fine by me, since I'm pretty much playing only once or twice a week these days, and SI very regularly go on the high end raids.
