Fireplace, Flash, Monkey Butler

My brother finished making shelves to go over the fireplace in the currently unoccupied room. They are awesome, I'm sure you'll agree, as is he.

Now all I have to do is get the bed from Ema's basement, and the impending French materials scientist will have a place to sleep, and a place to put stuff; once I fix the handles on her wardrobe door, she should be all set. I'm considering buying a spare duvet and sheets for guests, now that I have a linen cupboard and everything... although at the moment, that cupboard is full of miscellaneous electronic stuff, like a spare tv and video. I guess I should think about a good reorganize in the near future.

Hmm. On one hand, I can see it'd be kind of daft for the new flatmate to buy bed stuff, since she's only here for four months. On the other hand, I suspect providing sheets, pillows and a duvet may be more than a landlord would normally be expected to do for a tenant. I guess we'll see - the fact that the Warehouse has some really cheap sets of stuff at the moment could be taken as an argument either way. :)

I hope that she's pleasant, and interesting, and doesn't set fire to anything accidentally. Or on purpose, come to that.

I recently found a useful FAQ for those of you wanting to install linux on a dead badger; this was surprisingly relevant to me for reasons to complicated to go into here. However, this reminded me of the good old badgerbadgerbadger, which in turn reminded me that Everyone Loves Magical Trevor... yeah yeah, yeah, the cow is back! And then suddenly - he's ten times as slick!

I guess it's because everyone loves the chocolate. Or maybe because Your All Gay - the song dedicated to inept insulters everywhere.

Okay - those five are flash files with sound, so those of you without headphones at work won't care, and many of you will have already seen them - but hey, I've now listened to Magical Trevor 2 about 20 times... it's just so catchy! :)

Heh. We just had a discussion in my office about a great idea for a series of flash cartoons - "Damn You, Monkey Butler!" I could provide more context, but I'm not sure that would improve anything - but come on, the cartoons practically write themselves!

The problem with a monkey butler is that his cooking is more monkey hair than angel hair.

AND you should tell Ema that you want the bed from her basement too!!

Ema - yes, and that too. :) I'll be sending you an email shortly.
