A busy week

[liv]

Wow, so this week I had lethargic_man to visit, and went to a job interview in Dublin, and took part in a TV programme (although I didn't get to speak during the programme, my Dad informs me that I was in shot quite a lot. This is mainly because I was sitting next to FMZ, who wrote a quite brilliant question about Iraq which got selected! And very impressive she was too.)

I also reworked my icon and wrote a review of The Shipping News. But didn't make much progress on my thesis!

You were in shot quite a lot, indeed. Was it you saying "hear, hear" off-camera but on-mike at the proposition that Blair resign?

No, that was the annoying (acting exactly like a Union hack type of annoying) debating society president who was sitting just in front of me. I did join the general cheering at that because it was a nice debating point, though Salmond annoyed me in general by answering every single question with 'the Iraq war is illegal and the Labour government sucks'. I agree with the sentiment, but most of the time it wasn't remotely on topic.

My main contribution was to start the audience hissing at Hartley-Brewer for saying about Maxine Carr 'She helped a paedophile murderer, she can rot in jail forever for all I care, even the lynch mob's too good for her'. Dad said he could tell that was me started it, but maybe he was just being nice.

Question Time

Random machers of the Newcastle community have been recognising you on it, apparently. :o)

How much of your fifteen minutes of fame do you think that leaves you with? ;^b

Oh, gosh! That's really rather more fame than I was expecting, given I've set foot in Newcastle all of three times. Still, it's very Jewish community, that you've been hearing that people I really don't know recognized me on TV...

Misreading this initially as "Random marchers" seems not to be so bad as most of the glitches my reading comprehension has been doing recently.

*sigh* This is what comes of using unnecessary Yiddish in mixed company. macher is a good word in some contexts, but didn't contribute all that much to the particular information that lethargic_man was communicating to me right here.

In the opposite direction, you once sent us a link to a site called hilchos xmas and it took me several seconds not to read it as hitchos xmas, (something to do with hitchhiking? HHG?). This has a lot to do with the fact that I pronounce the word as hilkhót rather than hílchos, so my brain wasn't registering it at all.
