  • Sad souvenirs

    I was clearing out a room of the house today, and I found this tragic little object. It had been sitting in a drawer for years, and the batteries are very run down.

  • Developments

    Interesting things happening in my life, involving not-sitting-exams and things like that. May post more details if I feel so inclined.

  • Conflicts of interest

    Why is it that I find it so hard to concentrate on Physics for anything longer than five minutes (when I even manage to get started on it, that is), yet I can quite happily spend an hour struggling through a Japanese translation?

  • Failure

    Having done all this work to put up the new site, you may have noticed my almost complete lack of new posts since it went live. Well, I’m busy. I’ll add “update site three times a day” to the ever-increasing gargantuan list of things I want to do over the summer.

  • NOW MORE CHICKEN

    Chris Mear: think: ways to get into a tin can when you have no can opener
    David Mear: With a screwdriver
    Chris Mear: nope
    David Mear: o.O
    Chris Mear: what?
    David Mear: Is there some “correct” answer to this?
    Chris Mear: no
    Chris Mear: i don’t have a screwdriver
    Chris Mear: I’m looking for suggestions
    David Mear: OOOOoh!
    Chris Mear: because I
    Chris Mear: really
    Chris Mear: REALLY
    Chris Mear: want some soup
    David Mear: I thought it was just a question
    David Mear: Haha
    Chris Mear: ok, I’ve made a hole
    Chris Mear: I can smell the chicken
    David Mear: HAha
    David Mear: What with?
    David Mear: LMAO
    Chris Mear: A potato peeler
    David Mear: HAhaha
    Chris Mear: well, I’ve made a small opening.
    Chris Mear: But I am concerned that it will be too small for the “NOW MORE CHICKEN” that lies in wait
    David Mear: LMAO
    David Mear: HAaaaahaha
    Chris Mear: okay, there is now a second small opening next to the first
    Chris Mear: I will now attempt to “co-join” them
    David Mear: how the fuck are you doing this?
    Chris Mear: I make a small incision by jabbing it with the pointy bit of the potato peeler.
    David Mear: Ah, right.
    David Mear: This is really sad man.
    Chris Mear: Next I push gradually down on the peeler to make a small crescent shape.
    Chris Mear: Using the arm of a corkscrew, I prise the flap up.
    David Mear: are you gonna go round the whole edge like this.
    David Mear: ?
    Chris Mear: dunno
    David Mear: Because from the sounds of it.
    Chris Mear: I’ll have to see how big the MORE CHICKEN is.
    David Mear: You’re gonna need a hole at least an inch across.
    David Mear: Not just chicken, MORE chicken! ®
    Chris Mear: goddamn, these fuckers are tuff
    Chris Mear: the best bit is that I’ve got this frantic jazz music going down in the background
    David Mear: LMAO
    David Mear: That’s so FUCKING FUNNY.
    Chris Mear: shit
    David Mear: What?!
    David Mear: What/!
    Chris Mear: I just splashed chicken soup all over my screen
    David Mear: Aw, you big mong.
    Chris Mear: it’s all good, it’s all good.
    Chris Mear: I think I’m there.
    David Mear: Aw, well done.
    David Mear: Do you have a bowl/
    Chris Mear: yup
    David Mear: Damn,
    David Mear: I wish I’d seen that on your webcam
    Chris Mear: http://feedmechocolate.com/photos/soup-on-screen.jpg
    Chris Mear: http://feedmechocolate.com/photos/soup-success.jpg
    Chris Mear: i’m going to go and cook it now.

  • Back home. Again

    I’m back from Singapore, and I start work again tomorrow. Sorry updates have been a bit lax lately, although it’s not through lack of things to talk about. I shall have to put up some kind of ‘holiday journal’ section or something. Anyway, got to dash now.

  • Drunk in Singapore

    That is all.

  • Hawaii website

    The Hawaii website is starting to come together, and you can go there and look at a few photos already. However, my webhosts seem to be having a few server issues at the moment, and so there’s some random exception errors happening, which stop you from viewing the site. But try later, and they should have sorted themselves out.

  • Back home

    Well, it’s now Sunday, and I got home from Hawaii on Thursday morning, but I’ve just been so tired since then that I haven’t gotten round to doing much of anything yet, let alone updating this website. But I’m here now, so better late then never, I guess.

  • It's 4 in the morning... in Hawaii

    Up early, getting ready to go on a snorkeling cruise. This place is incredible. Photos when I get back on Thursday.
