18:32:34 <Lwaxana> evening
18:32:40 <Lwaxana> how be you
18:32:46 <Blarp> Pretty damn good
18:32:58 <Blarp> I have an RDO tomorrow, and Monday is a public holiday
18:34:19 <Lwaxana> lucky you
18:34:31 <Lwaxana> we have athletics carnival tomorrow
18:34:42 <Blarp> oh, I remember those days :P
18:34:45 <Lwaxana> and its been pou=ring rain all day
18:34:56 <Lwaxana> so unsure about tomorrow
18:35:20 <Blarp> yeah
18:35:32 <Lwaxana> but am looking forward to no work Monday - would have been a full teaching day
18:35:49 <Blarp> hehe I'm watching this show called Motorway Cops, based in the UK
18:35:52 <Lwaxana> such a day today
18:36:01 <Lwaxana> we had Video Gaming roadshow
18:36:06 <Lwaxana> for hours
18:36:11 <Lwaxana> promoting Unity
18:36:18 <Lwaxana> damn ecellent graphics
18:36:40 * Lwaxana stares at X key
18:36:52 <Lwaxana> reported this laptop today
18:36:59 <Lwaxana> its still under warranty
18:37:00 <Blarp> and the cops found this 91 year old who is a WW2 vet, a truck had hit his car, and he's about to go to Holland for a reunion... and it turns out he was a paratrooper, and is planning to do a jump while in Holland
18:37:19 <Lwaxana> ???
18:37:26 <Lwaxana> ohhhhhhhhhhh
18:37:28 <Blarp> yeah
18:37:59 <Blarp> the reaction of the cops was priceless... they were having trouble imagining jumping themselves... let alone doing it at 91
18:38:26 <Lwaxana> :)
18:39:10 <Lwaxana> http://unity3d.com/unity
18:39:11 <Blarp> yeah, laptops aren't what they used to be, most stuff seems to run out just as the warrenty runs out :(
18:39:22 <Lwaxana> ever seen unity
18:39:35 <Blarp> nope, *looks*
18:39:50 <Lwaxana> the free stuff the kids get was amazing ...
18:39:58 <Lwaxana> assets/resources
18:40:35 <Blarp> yeah
18:41:29 <Lwaxana> 57 students all enthused
18:41:45 <Lwaxana> not sure where they make their money
18:42:19 <Blarp> looks like you can buy extra assets
18:42:58 <Blarp> so maybe thats it
18:43:07 <Lwaxana> hmm

21:37:32 <Lwaxana> damn
21:37:44 <Lwaxana> rain is so heavy I have lost Foxtel
21:39:28 <Blarp> bugger
21:39:33 <Blarp> I hate it when that happens
21:41:20 <Blarp> I'm thinking I should really get back to writing again :S
21:42:34 <Blarp> I haven't done any writing in about 5 years
21:44:35 <Lwaxana> topic?
21:44:41 <Blarp> Creative
21:44:50 <Blarp> Sci-fi/Fantasy
21:45:43 <Lwaxana> oh yes
21:45:59 <Lwaxana> am currently reading teen fantasy
21:46:05 <Blarp> When I was at school, creative writing was something I always enjoyed
21:46:22 <Lwaxana> sigh..there is little good adult scifi these days
21:46:23 <Blarp> it wasn't until I got a teacher who could read my hand writing that I really discovered it
21:46:56 <Blarp> I went from getting bare pass mark, to consistently getting 19/20
21:47:38 <Lwaxana> unlike my history class
21:47:40 <Blarp> I got 20/20 for a piece I wrote while drinking a bottle of wine :P
21:47:42 <Lwaxana> *sigh*
21:48:40 <Blarp> Told the teacher about it when I got the paper back, his response "nearly all the great historical writers did thier best works while drunk, or they were alcoholics"
21:49:35 <Blarp> lol just remembered the story I wrote...
21:49:45 <Blarp> topic was "it's hard to be humble"
21:50:39 <Blarp> and I wrote about a knight, and one of his orders vows was, to be humble, he kept getting drunk, and well, drunk and humble didn't go together
21:50:49 <Blarp> so he kept getting into trouble
21:51:34 <Lwaxana> http://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_on_genius
21:51:39 <Lwaxana> I recommend that
21:51:49 <Lwaxana> I show all my sweniors
21:51:54 <Lwaxana> seniors
21:52:06 <Lwaxana> she wrote Eat, Pray, Love
21:52:42 <Blarp> ahhh
21:56:29 <Blarp> Interesting comments about creative people and suicide. There is a family history of it in my family.
21:56:59 <Blarp> My grandma on my mum's side, and grandpa on my dad's side
21:57:10 <Blarp> The two people, I'm supposed to take after the most
21:57:35 <Blarp> Both of whom committed suicide before they were 40
21:58:43 <Blarp> However, not likely in my case, to me it seems like a selfish way out
21:58:56 <Blarp> It only hurts the people who care about you
22:00:19 <Lwaxana> yes
22:00:31 <Lwaxana> its an insightful video
22:02:12 <Blarp> LMAO at the romans belief, and the Dobby comment
22:03:40 <Blarp> Mind you... One of my poetry works, is called "The voices in my head" and is about that very subject, the voices that I hear, which tell me the stories I have to write
22:04:03 <Blarp> >.>
22:04:05 <Blarp> <.<
22:04:10 <Blarp> :D
22:06:38 <Blarp> OMG the stuff about the poet Ruth Stone, and the thundering of the poems... that's almost exactly what I used to experience with some of my stuff
22:06:44 <Lwaxana> sounds "cute"
22:08:09 <Blarp> Cute, disturbing, crazy... it's a fine fine line ;)
22:09:22 <Blarp> and the stuff she's saying about writing the poems, I used to wake up at 2am and HAD to write something down
22:10:12 <Lwaxana> :)
22:11:25 <Blarp> LMAO at the musican stuff.... "can't you see i'm driving, go bother someone else"
22:17:16 * Blarp hugs Lwaxana
22:17:31 <Blarp> thank you for showing me that Lwax it was really awesome stuff
22:28:16 <Lwaxana> :)
22:28:52 <Lwaxana> TED videos are great
22:32:10 <Blarp> Heh, I found my poems :P
22:33:44 <Blarp> 14 poems, ranging from cute, funny, to romantic, deep and meaningful
22:34:52 <Blarp> in a multitude of styles as well
22:35:04 <Blarp> I'm sure an english teacher would have a field day with them
22:35:19 <Blarp> a physcologist would as well probably
22:35:23 <Blarp> :D
22:57:16 <Blarp> Night Lwax, I'll see you next time
23:15:27 <Lwaxana> okies
