Otherworldly Being

[Mr EliteL]

@Moonface: Yeah we have a couple of videos too well at least one I know of that had all three of us (my siblings and I) where my brother was sort of one of the "main" characters that were, I think travelling through time or something like that, I can't remember the plot of whatever that play was exactly.

@ShiraNoMai: Year 2 I believe that was, may have been Year 3 instead if I got the year wrong but I swear that teacher was who I had in Year 2. Yeah we either called that either Reception or Pre-School.

Yeah, the time traveling one is the VHS I have. That would be the one where our year group dressed up as robots. I think that might be the last year they did recordings of the play too because I don't own anything after that.

I was looking at the Asda website a week or so ago looking at the biscuits and saw quite a few new ones I don't remember existing while I lived in England, and since I know I've seen other food products that are new too on that website I'm curious if you've tried out any new food stuff that didn't exist while I still lived there? Doesn't have to be from Asda btw, that's just the only UK grocery store I bother to check out from time to time.

[Mr EliteL]

Not really, if I did try something it was a passing moment or something just seeing what it's like then not bothering with it afterwards and just going back to normal food that I have. I'll say there were a few new Mini Cheddar flavours the released, one being Cheddar & Smoked Paprika and I thought it was the absolute best ever, had way too much of it then promptly went off it, thus refusing it outright ever since. My family bought me a tub for Xmas, thinking I still liked it, my sister also asked if I wanted a reduced multi-pack just yesterday even, dang it.

Oh, and I also just remembered there was another thing from Collingwood we got, a tea cloth from I think it was our Year 6, scratch that it was of the Millennium with what looked like the whole school at the time. I'll won't add an image of that, it's too big.

[Moonface]

I mean you could just link the image instead of embedding it if the size of it bothers you. Unless you mean the cloth is somehow too big to take a photo off but I doubt it.
By the whole school do you mean it had a photo of the building or our class on it? I don't remember the thing at all.

[Mr EliteL]

Oh it's of the same type of thing, everyone doing a small self-portrait like the one of the mugs. There's so many heads and names, it's hard to tell which name is to which head as well. It's pretty big for at least my phone anyway to get a decent photo of it all.

[ShiraNoMai]

How big is a tea cloth that you can't get it all in one shot? They're just kitchen towels right? Surely can't be that large.

When Moony and I were at IKEA, we saw this bedroom set that we thought would be ideal for your bedroom setup, and wondered if you had ever considered IKEA's room designs to be any help to your room redesign you've been working on?



(also moony is in this photo, bonus points if you find him )

[Mr EliteL]

Decided to heck with it and try getting a photo of the tea cloth, it did just about fit but quality is bad when zoomed in. Because there's so many heads some are hard to pinpoint who's is who's but they're poorly drawn anyway.  Millennium Tea Cloth

I didn't look at IKEA specifically but did see beds very similar to that online, but all had the same problem with the ladder sticking out, as that would block the door to the room. My old one was metal and straight against the bed frame so it took up next to no room. It's about time I don't have high bed anyway even though it would be ideal to have one for the space underneath. I don't want to be in my 40's or 50's still climbing a ladder to bed.  
Although I'm getting some doubts about the bed I have got, it's fine but goddamn the space in the bedroom I may have to sleep with my head against the bedroom door side wall this time. Ah well. Also for moving the bed will be better to move instead of having to dismantle the entire thing then assemble it again to the moved place or house when or if it happens.

[Moonface]

Oh that teacloth is just the whole school? I thought it was just our year group like the mugs were.

Hmm, even if you're not looking for a two tier bed like that one I reckon Ikea would have something that can help maximize the space you have in your room, even if it's storage solutions that aren't part of the bed. The store by us had a lot of room designs that were really small in floor space but felt huge with how they worked with the limited space.

Thinking on it, do you know if your house was always a four bedroom? I feel like it was only meant to be three bedrooms at most and a fourth got made by shrinking down some other rooms.

[Mr EliteL]

I believe our house started as a two bedroom, or maybe three anyway. My sister's old room is just so not suited to be a bedroom, let alone mine which was an office when my parents bought it. As my sister was young small she got the third room, I got the office room briefly before sharing with my brother, then back to the small office room. I still use the high shelving from the office even, put them back up after the small room got painted and carpeted.

[Moonface]

I forget how many you've actually bought but I feel like you've bought a reasonably decent number of different anime on DVD, so if I'm not mistaken is there any anime you did buy on DVD and later wondered why you did? If not then is there an anime you wish you had on DVD but don't?

[Mr EliteL]

I have got a few anime DVDs I haven't got around to watching yet or mid-way through and not finished, but haven't wondered why I bought. I do regret buying Seraph Of The End Volume 1 manga though, I just wanted to see if I could get into something randomly, and it failed. I shouldn't try that.

For anime I wish I had on DVD, well it's Gintama. I would be more than willing to get the entire series and movies, but only the first movie released in the UK. Manga didn't do well either, I think stopped at something like Volume 12 or whatever, I've only bought the first 3 though as it has the three Yorozuya on the spines. Then Legend of the Legendary Heroes but that wasn't available either. There's not really much else I'd want though because the amount of times I went into a store with anime in I just didn't want any of it.

[Moonface]

Hmm, I wonder if a US copy of Gintama would be worthwhile or not. I'm not sure if DVD players still complain about regions nowadays.

Also, I see today is a rather special one, because it's the day of the UK election results!  *shot*
Oh, and I guess it's also the day you elected to be born on. I suppose that's important too, right? Eh, probably not.  


Fine, I'll do it properly.

*inhales*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU SILLY SAUSAGE!!!

[Mr EliteL]

Yeah I tried looking for Gintama DVDs but kept finding ones that just seemed like they weren't official, or like they were just recorded from their PC and put on DVD. So I just didn't know what could be legit. I'm fine it being only English Subs unless there is a dub alongside subs, but the movie dub I do have is terrible, though I'll be sticking to only use subs anyway. Though it has been a while since I searched, perhaps something new and official has propped up since then.

Ha, yeah the election. I didn't bother vote and knew it was going to be one of the two main parties getting in and dislike both, didn't see the point of it. I try and avoid politics anyway, don't want it on my mind ever since the last time I voted which was for that cursed "word" that has "exit" in it.

Anyway, thanks Moony for the colourful letters, yes did put a smile on me noggin'.

Worked in the morning which sucked, had to because my section leader booked this week off before I could though I have next week and a bit more off to compensate. Then went bowling with my Dad, Mum, sister and family friend. I didn't win but got joint most strikes, would've been 5 if we (I do) count a full clear of a spare as I call a "spare-strike". I am feeling a bit more confident now in my ability, just got keep some sense of consistency up to improve me score, and definitely get more spares. Just not get strike, miss completely twice to get no bonus score, then another strike into nothing. Then afterwards a Harvester meal where I ate bit too much but will be fine.

I got 2 CDs Steven Wilson The Future Bites and The Orb Little Fluffy Clouds, and mum is paying towards my new wardrobe, and my sister paid for my bowling/dinner. Bro might have something for me when he arrives for a quick visit.

[Moonface]

I didn't even know there was an election happening there until I went into a British pub just outside the hotel at GDQ yesterday and they had BBC on the TVs where they were covering the election and discussing the exit poll results while waiting for official counts to start coming in.

I wondered if you worked today or not and whether you had plans but you already covered all of it. I always remember the time we went bowling and you accidentally threw the ball at the wall because you let go of it too late.

Never heard of those two artists before, so I'm curious where you heard of them?
