ARGH laptopless!

[bencodec]

ok, so my computer is off for repairs that should take about a week and a half. i can't believe i can't work on anything useful for almost 2 weeks.

what should i do with my spare time?

[kams]

learn to cook some new types of food

[komakid]

learn to play an instrument.

[Tec]

Help impoverished children

you could read, but I am guessing that you are the kind of person who reads regularly anyway. good to hear that the laptop is not stolen, as that was my first thought when I saw your thread.

thanks guys, all great suggestions so far.

@ koma, yeah i was thinking of buying a new bass guitar anyway, so maybe nows the time.

@ kams, i'm working on learning chinese cooking at the moment, know any good veggie recipes?

@ sheridan, yeah, not stolen, but my screen is on the fritz and of course i have loads of tunes i'm half finished with on there now and chomping at the bit to werk on them.

yeah, i'm with you 2 weeks is a long one, even if your a huge wanker. besides it probably wouldn't be the same without my constant stream of internet animal porn.

not really into chinese food hugely.... prefer indian/thai/japanese I guess i'm referring to British Chinese takeaway style food when I say this though.

Made a nice roasted tomato pasta thing this week...

and a spinach/stilton/onion pastry bake thing...

[bencodec]

well, i much prefer indian food to chinese, though american chinese takeaway is usually better then british chinese takeaway. the trouble with indian food is that it never seems to taste right here, i don't think the spices are fresh enough here for some reason. it all tastes like it's been cooked, frozen and thawed out then second day.

sheridan, that sound great!

[scott confusion]

because ive not had my internet or t.v in me new place for entertainment i just bought a load of tunes to mix.. thats kept me quite content so far.

[pille'ocheoni]

i would pick up an instrument, some percusive so i could have alot of fun.

then i would also start messing around with (again) watercolors. cus last week i saw the most facisnating watercolor paintings, and kind of want to figure out how to get that good.

oh and its almost x-mas. so id write all those cards i never got to write.

If you haven't got one, find yourself a girlfriend to keep you occupied. If you have one, lavish her with atention.
