Look! New releases by The Smashing Pumpking. I'm so excited. For months I've been searching there for news of the new Smashing Pumpkins release. But screw that, pumpking roolz!!1
the pumpkin king awakes
But as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted.. work was fun as always today.
fun fun fun fun
There's this married couple that comes in every now and then. They sit down and drink beer. Talk. Relax. Drink some more beer. They drink a lot of beer. Today the guy brought in his old computer. He couldn't get it to work anymore. It's a laptop. You'd crush your legs if you put it in your lap. They don't make them like they used to... huge and bulky and such. So the day pretty much went with helping Peter ComputerGuy try to fix it. At one point we wanted to format the hard drive. Peter tried 71 times. The format command would not work. So I pointed out to him that the format command is in the DOS directory. And we were in C:. He said it didn't matter, we were already running DOS, it should work blabla, but we'll try it anyway. So he changed to the dos dir. I said that it was just a suggestion, don't listen to me, nothing I say is ever right. Then he tried again. And wham! That baby formatted. People should listen more to me. I know my config.sys and dos format. I'm full of knowledge. I just need to learn how to express it. Usually what comes out when I speak is "mggmfdgmmmdfgdfm?".
translation: "hvad koster den uden ketchup?"
But that was neat. I contributed.
colour me productive
And then suddenly I got the urge to take photos. Out of nowhere. It just struck me. I need a digital camera. I was sitting in the coffee room. The parrot club were there. All these old people. Sitting talking. Two babies. And the old guy. He's turkish or pakistani or iraqi or something. He doesn't speak Danish. Every now and then he comes in and gets a cup of coffee at morning. He doesn't have a lot of money, so he gets it for free. Then he takes a smoke and just sits there. He's missing a couple of teeth. And because he can't speak Danish he usually communicates with hand gestures and toothless smiles. He's interesting. And then there's Anker, with his cigarette in his hand. Looking concentrated.
take a picture
I just wanted to capture it all on film. It may not sound interesting. But I wanted it. I wanted to take pictures of all the fallen leaves that I was sweeping away from the front entrance. I wanted to take pictures of the traffic crossing. With the bus going by. I wanted to take a picture of the playground. This used to be my playground...
caught on camera
Sigh. So I went home and checked the adverts. I found lots of digital cameras. One of them was cheap and crap. The rest were good and expensive. There was no decent and not too expensive. So either I'm going to give up the digital camera dream and you'll never see Denmark the way I see it... or I'm going to go buy the cheap crap one and you'll get crap pictures en masse.
Giving up your dreams: priceless
Probably just a fad. I never got that guitar. Now I've thrust (ouch) my love on cameras. You'd think I was a really creative type, eh? Well I'm not. just ask Skye. She knows. Teehee.
fade to grey
I probably wouldn't be able to take pictures anyway. I prefer anonymity. When I walk down the street I don't want people to notice me. If I pulled out a camera I would attract attention. How can you take someone's picture without them noticing you? Oh well, I can always photograph trees.
the b****. push me down
I don't know. I'll have to think about it. Cheap and crap or not at all. Still if it's a fad and I don't get into it then I won't have wasted a lot of money.
if I can be bothered
Do you mind? I'm having a private discussion with myself.
quit spying on me
Okay. Everyone all set for halloween? I know I am. I have my santa suit and scented candles. I'm going to celebrate the pumkingy feast like none other.
I'm missing wishmaster right now
I swear it was like this when I got here. Goodnight.
I didn't do it
np: pumpkins - soot and stars
...and yet I pushed until it broke...
