Statement

My hearing is perfectly fine...

[Scene: Noisy music room]

Ali: Would you ever consider converting to Islam?

Minim: [What? A slum?] No.

Ali: Why not?"

Minim: Be a bit disgusting, wouldn't it?

Ali: You think Islam's disgusting?

Minim: Oh, Islam. And no, I wouldn't, I don't like the idea of praying five times a day, I have no problems with homosexuality, and I like my bacon too much.

...it's just the words get confused occasionally.

George: [with very obvious signs of amusement] The couple in front of us jumped at the sound effects.

Minim: [I jumped as well, and I was well further back than they were. Those effects were loud, not to mention sudden]

I can jump at the sound of a lid of a wheelie bin closing.

And now you may have a picture. Enjoy.

(And yes, they are the right way round for me, because I am a leftie)

Ad Preferences Manager

So today I decided to look at my Ad Preferences and see what Google thinks I'm interested in, based on the sites I go to on Google Chrome on my netbook. These are the results:

A bit of a disappointment, needless to say. I do enjoy comics and anims, and the odd flash game, and I can see why they would think I like games (I am addicted to this one, at least, not to mention all of the free logic puzzles on Conceptis!), but as for the rest of them...? I don't remember doing anything with Business and personal listings, Microwaves, Dairy & Eggs, or Cooking Fats and Oils (these are just a special type of ester, aren't they?) I don't know what the penultimate one is, so what am I to say about that?

But TV Commercials????? That is just insane. I don't even call them 'Commercials', I call them adverts, and they are dead annoying. I only stand TV Ads as the point in time to go to the toilet or get a drink or to stand as they mercilessly bugger me to death (the Go Compare man, anyone? I got happy joyful pleased ecstatic in the more recent one where he gets shot). But they are necessary to be dealt with.

Because they are the source of money for the TV companies. We wouldn't want to have to pay for them, would we?

Drabbling Difficulties

Minim: Hmmm, I think I'll write a drabble about a quartet of girls who go to the Chalet School.

[Minim writes about a quartet of girls who go to the Chalet School]

[Minim goes on internet and gets distracted by awesome/interesting game/site/something]

[Minim goes back to document, saves and closes]

Next day...

Minim: I'm going to write an awesome drabble about a girl battling with the author like the animation and animator.

A repetition of this has meant that I now have a lot of drabbles that are started but nowhere near even getting to the main plots or anything.

I believe that this limits productivity and so is a specialized type of writers block. Far too many ideas means I have a hard time concentrating on any one odd drabble.

I could start a challenge with all of my demi-drabbles and get people to complete them any way they want, at any length they want too. A weekly challenge, maybe. It would be something to do with all of those halves that I'll never complete anyway.

Anyone?
