The Tomatoes That Won’t Be Picked

Ever heard the expression “a turd that won’t flush”? Well I have tomatoes that can’t be harvested. Not exactly the same thing.. but close. I have recently become obsessive about Zynga’s new(ish) game Frontierville. There’s something satisfying about clearing out the weeds and crap that litter your bit of land and trying to make it suitable for human habitation. Frontierville is like Farmville only with more work cos you have a limited amount of energy available which means that you (well.. sad ol’ me) ends up going there a good few times a day. Those Zynga folk have a lot of wasted hours to account for. Anyhoo today as I was waiting for my potatoes to grow, I thought I’d do a bit of tomatoes on the side (as you do) and ended up with some stuck tomatoes. See the ripe ones? I can’t harvest them.. just waiting for them to go mouldy and yes.. I have lots of energy available and yes… my harvesting thingy is sharp enough.. it’s a bug :-o! Am much miffed at the lost XP and money but will probably get over it quite soon.

Mwahaha long weekend

Last week was a right bugger. At work one of my projects (a web shop) went live and started pulling in a heap of visitors and orders during it’s first day which of course presented its own problems (and its first day just happened to be on the weekend also..), so had lots of work to do to get everything ship-shape and just the way they liked it. Now it’s (hopfeully) going smoothly so I’ve had a long weekend and been off on Friday and tomorrow as well. Am really loving it at work, nice atmosphere, nice people and a whole lot of learning which is just as it should be.

I wish I could say I’ve used this weekend productively but I’ve mostly been playing Lord of the Rings Online and decided to create a new character on a busier server. There’s about 10 servers in total each with their own set of players, think I was playing on one of the more sparsely populated ones, now I’m on the busiest one which means there’s quite a bit of competition for resources but at least there won’t be problems finding fellowships for the quests. I also kind of sickened of my elven hunter chick cos Lauri was always taking the piss and going on about elven princesses and all that jazz and I read a blog entry on one of the fan sites written by an elven chick who was a total bam (‘Ohhh I just lurveee elves’) but her avatar looked like mine so am now a sensible human and the elves can bugger off ;) Now I’ve just got to get back up to level 32 again :/

In real life the washing machine has given up the ghost. R.I.P old stinky. The washing machine looks like it’s from the 70′s and it’s done well to last this well. When it goes into the spin cycle it sounds like there’s rocks in there. Ordered a new slim-line top-loader fancy madoodah that has an A+ power rating. Bet our electricity bill will half (halve ?!) as well. Lauri wasn’t chuffed cos I ticked the ‘remove our old one’ checkbox to the tune of 25 euro but hell, it’ll save a lot of angst and broken backs as we try to move the freaken cement block. Bugger it, easy road all the way. Once the new one arrives I might even do some laundry just so I can play with the settings :0.

Funny Pictures

What is it about sites that collect images together? Lauri and I are both capable of wasting away hours looking at stuff on Oddee or 2leep. Got any other URL’s I can whittle away my day on?

Other stuff I found on my travels;
10 Most Incredible Asylums
I found this one pretty creepy. They’d be good places to go ghost hunting like in that film House on Haunted Hill.

I hate to use the world fail but…
What the hell is going on in the second picture? Gads, that is minging.

When (a) stare is worth a thousand words.
Had to yoink the mmm one cos it cracked me up :D
