They have ruined the Number 42 Bus.

It used to be one of the nice new purple and blue and cyan and white ones, with 'The 42' written on the side - 'The' in black italic handwriting font, '42' in big chunky purple letters with dark blue outlines. And this amused me.

But now it's just one of those silly Overground busses that are pretending to be like the Underground but caught in traffic, but they are just *not as cool* as the Underground, rar!

Currently, as you can see, silly-me is winning.

Today I dug out my awful HP fanfic again and did a bit more work on it, because it was slightly less vomit-inducing than my risible attempt at writing fantasy.

I really need to deal with these photos. But I don't want to just throw them online and make you look at an Apache page, or even try and title them all reasonably, as I have no idea of the names of the people in half of them.

I think Neil would like me to plug nox here, so I will. It's the n-by-n case (well, it tells you off if you go over 99 because of constraints like the number of characters on the keyboard, screen space, memory usage etc) of noughts and crosses. There are forced wins on board sizes 6 and 7 (whoever goes first wins) still, unfortunately. (My dad, who has become absolutely addicted to the game, is rather annoyed about this fact). Subtitled 'Noughts and Crosses for the Clinically Insane'. We gave it pretty graphics when he was over here.

I started Callandria off today (on Rondak's Portal). So far I've had one reply, from the character I mentioned earlier.

I do wish I had something useful to do at school. Maybe I'll dig out that Python interpreter over the weekend, but even then, my current project is a pygame thingamy, and they haven't written pygame for the Psion, suprisingly enough.

There is a big brown bug with large mandibles in a pot in the middle of our living-room floor.

I want to know where the pseudoword 'flergenpoit' came from, and why I've started overusing it.

I want to do something, but I don't know what.

I missed the meeting about fencing.

./~ They're out there making history
In the Lenin Shipyards today
And here I am in the Hammersmith Hotel
Wishing the days away ~\.

Oh, and Melody is much better at Neopets than me. She takes the trouble to buy and sell stuff and use the stock market thingamy. This is why she's going to earn lots of money in the City while I'm still studying for something or other, probably.

I have just spent another hour messing around with Neopets. A game of Pterattack (which I didn't do too well in, due to changing guns halfway through), a couple of games of Extreme Herder (which I appear to be quite good at from the number of NP that I get off it), then I chose my fourth and final pet, a Wocky. But then I wanted a petpet for her, and spent quite a while wondering whether I should go for a Blue Selket (the Selket itself is cheap, but rather brown and boring in its original colour, and the Blue Petpet Paint Brush is very expensive) or an Anubis (almost as pretty as the Blue Selket, and much cheaper than the paintbrush). And then I realised how absolutely petty the whole thing was.

This isn't living. This is dying on 'frame advance'.
