Santa has totally been. Not for me, but for the only child in the house. My nephew is currently running around filled up with chocolate. With silly string in his hair. Right this second he is experimenting with feedback by putting a microphone on a speaker.
Frankly he is making a mess. Today every adult is his bitch and he just expects us to pick all this crap up. I guess this is the freedom we all lose as we get older. Now we have to pickup our mess or live with the consequences.
I just saw what appears to be this christmases hard hitting “use a condom” advert. Which plays in reverse starting with a young girl spewing in the toilet. Cuts to some guy looking gutted after answering the phone. It cycles back and shows them making fuck after getting hammered at a party.
Quite a neat idea. Quite well done. While I was absorbing the double whammy message that “drinking lots and having unprotected sex” is a bad idea… I was letting these messasges sink in. When an advert for bacardi and then WKD (which I have heard called “tart fuel”) came on.
Not that TV has to do joined up adverts… Anyone got any other examples of stupid advert juxtapositions?
I struggle to even put jeans on. I am working from home.. Why should I ? My motivation beyond simply achieving my work goals is pretty minimal. Today I officially start my “holiday” and I am now on the train up to Huddersfield (dont say I do not know how to party).
While most days I barely manage to brush my teeth before noon. Today I coined a new word which is now in the process of getting accepted on urban dictionary.com. The word will be available at the following URL once the admins accept the genius:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=netmare
The word is “netmare” which I defined as:
For situations when you badly need the Internet but you cant get it.
Usage: I forgot my booking reference and I missed my train because I had a netmare
Not the best example possible. It certainly is a sign of the times. Next I will be doing jokes about facebook and iphones. I am bleeding edge people, try to keep up.
I just emailed java.sun.com through their feedback form:
What the hell has happened to your netbeans + jdk/sdk/whatever the heck it is called thesedays?
I downloaded a 200+ meg installer with “all” the items and there is apparently no suitable JDK. Seriously. I just want a goddamn javac.exe for a quick item I need to hack up and its wasted two hours navigating your site. Clicking on seemingly random downloads.
Yes I could have fiddled around reading the entire page but I really dont have time when the download takes ages.
Seriously. What a waste of my goddamn time this has been.
I am totally just ranting at you for no good reason other than it really makes me feel better!
They seem to have forced a firmware patch onto my sky box which shuts the fucking thing off after some period without me using my remote. Really? Can’t I just listen to a whole day of sodding scrubs without touching the remote once in a while to prove I am alive?
They must be trying to save the planet one standby at a time. Which is probably a good thing.
Perhaps this is a new “feature” which lets sky checkup on their customers. As our waistlines expand, arteries clog and we start getting tingly feelings. We can no longer die quietly on our sofas without sky being told we missed Diagnosis Murder 15 times in a row.
At this point, because sky really do care for us, they will have a marketing person call our home number. If we answer, they can sigh and say.. He is alive ! He can keep paying £40 a month for a service we periodically switch off.
