On-line ads

So I've been sitting here looking at on-line comics for a while and I noticed that the advert at the side of the screen was for smallstep.gov which is a website for trying to get people to be more healthy.

HOW DID THEY KNOW?

I guess targeted ads are getting a whole lot better.

Thursday

It's a Thursday.

Thursday: What an irritating day. Thursday's just sit there telling you that there's still another day left in the week.What the fuck is Thursday's problem?

I've had enough of the week. I'd like a drink. But drink on a Thursday and you've got Friday all up in your face all "dude, DUUUUDE, you're supposed to be in shape to play tonight, you're supposed to be getting shit done during the day" and then Friday just sits there looking all disappointed in you.

Fuck you, Thursday.

Fuck.

You.

Smoked cheese

The other day in work I mentioned that,  even though I know that it's not proper cheese and shouldn't be good, I really like the [Bavarian] processed cheese that gets smoked. The person I was talking to was then wondering if I bought Kraft Cheese Slices and a pack of papers and actually smoked them.

It's kind of amusing that someone would think that but slightly worrying that someone thinks that I'd be odd enough to actually smoke a cheese joint.

I think that I just came up with a joke

Sadly, I just took too long drawing this and now can't for the life of me remember what the fuck it was.

I'm just glad I realised that I'd forgotten the caption before I tried to draw the body. I'd have been really pissed off then.

eFax

I keep on seeing on-line adverts for something called eFax which, apparently, can be used "anywhere you have access to e-mail".

Now I may be missing the point, and quite possibly being really dense here, but wouldn't that just be no better than, well, e-mailing something to someone?

I just find it a bit odd that someone is asking me to pay them to allow me to send an "eFax" for those times when I can send an e-mail but get all nostalgic for a noisy machine that often obliterated a large portion of what was being sent through and as such decide to send something else.

Maybe eFax is the next step in technology what with faxes coming after postage.

Right, that must be it, e-mail moves on the eFax, which will move on to... um... e-e-mailing? I don't even know.

So yeah, eFaxes, I don't really understand.

Monday...

... and I have consumed a tasty meal as well as four glasses of wine.

The alcohol has gone straight to my head.

An excellent start to the week.

It's a long time until the weekend.

Brie

Having purchased some Marks & Spencer brie today (and some smoked processed cheese... so good even though it shouldn't be) to go with some fresh bread I decided to ignore the "mild and creamy" brie (seriously, what's the friggin' point? If you don't like brie because it actually tastes of something then just eat another cheese, a mild and creamy one if you must) I settled on a Brie de Meaux.

Upon bringing this home and showing my partner I, of course, pronounced this correctly. She, however, was under the mistaken impression that one does not pronounce "Meaux" as a cat might.

So I decided to check (not that I needed to) to see if I was right.

I checked with a cheese expert.

I asked said cheese expert how to pronounce "Meaux".

An answer was immediately forthcoming.

So there you have it.

Brie de 'miaow' it is then.

The cheese from our local independent shop tastes better. Oh well.
