Wow! You called somebody homie! yay!
Hmmm, how much pointless gui building can you do in a day? A lot - then you can get stuck into drag and drop refurbishment of code. Bliss.
It better be sunny outside tomorrow, not that I can play in it - I have chores. Poo.

Nah, got get myself CLEAN! It's alright to be stinky in a lab, but not in an orifice.
Then I have to savour the last of the sunlight while practising stick, then when it gets too dark for that, go inside and practise juggling and poi while watching music channels / random films / whatever my brothers girlfriend forces me to watch.
So if you wanted to know about my sad life - you just did.

Sounds cool to me.
I needs some practice time too... Actually, I need to be inspired first. Else I'll just be doing the same boring moves I always do.
Where will you be outside? Maybe I'll join you. Unless you want some alone time with your assbucket.

Sorry man, I live in Murrayfield. (That's the murrayfield ghetto to you.) So I goes back there and practises in the ever traditional back yard. I may even water the plants.
That other place I always take yous is my secret den of iniquity... (I have no idea how to spell that have never used that word in text before.)
If it's sunny on thursday or friday may go for an all-day-sess on the meadows... Hmmm all-day...

you must attend to the words of our illustrious feline and practice IN the dark
not run away when you think the monsters are just waking up
remember - you are the one waving the stick about (even if it isn't on fire) and with any luck they might even mistake you for Bond
Ms. Bond that is...

What I must do is find a white shirt that has full length arms, a smallish collar and doesn't cost 50 squid. Plus I have to reapply the silicon gel to the stick tonight and all sorts of other stuff to get ready·
Does you have my little staff wick protectors? I would kinda like them and a bag maybe sometime. Please miss!
I did practise in the dark, I even caught my pirouette... 'Nway, I was going to give the D-stick and the ass bucket to joseph to give back to whom they belong next monday... Wouldn't that be a more moral solution? I think it must belong to jamie... But then he checked his bag right in front of me and didn't notice anything missing...
I donno, just tell me what to do and I'll do it.
I am 006! yay!

Practise in the dark? Ludicrous...
You should practise blindfold, with a four tonne staff made of ming vases covered in spikes walking on your hands using only your lips to control the staff. Only then will you achieve true enlightenment.
And I'm going to regret asking I'm sure, but what's an ass bucket, meg? Some kind of stainless steel diaper contraption?
Chitter chitter skriiitch skriiiitch

I think we 'ave to enter the orifice again at 7 for the rehearsal. And if you take a taxi to the airport, (as the buses don't run that early) remember to get a receipt.
la la la lal - I ave a black t-shirt now. It makes me look ninja. How's you?
Dave - an ass bucket is a musical contraption (instrument is too strong a word) recently discovered by myself. You typically play it with your ass, but the hips and the belly can also be used. The ass bucket hangs by a strong chain over your shoulder, and contains a variaty of objects which make noise. To play, you just walk rhythmically around the city. People often stare in awe. Or just stare.

It'd probably be sensibler for me to email and ask him if he did as was told but the computer's about to die so this is easier. Does anyone know if Joseph returned the jacket I ended up with the other monday to whoever it belonged to?
