I love odd gag gifts. But, Liver Pâté?????



Next year, you may be able to give all of your family members a Furby..... The new type is second hand for sale everywhere in the Netherlands at the moment. The worst St Nic present. Kids are frightened, and parents feel terrorised, because it cannot be turned off, and it gets MAD if it doesn't get attention.

Is there any other kind of pate? Jack thinks it's good. It's actually the only way I like liver.

The last of the Christmas presents.  I realized the PRs presents were on the skimpy side, so I bought 2 gift cards for her.

I bought a stupid Snowman shaped Dual picture frame to give my wife for Christmas.

It seems asinine. I know, but for months I have been working to capture a decent pic of TWO teenage autistic children and another of both of them AND the father.

A few days ago, it actually happened (already had the two together, but wanted all three of us as well AND FINALLY I got it!!!) and I went in search of a "cute" dual frame to put them in.


It turned out to be a Snowman. Belly full of all three of us, Heart full of just the kids.


I think she will cry.

She's a tough woman, tried not to, but yeah; she did, quietly and mostly to herself.

I am a hero husband. She knows how difficult it was to get even one decent pic of our two kids (she is also a professional photographer, remember?), let alone one with ME in it as well.

I had to distract the kids from the pressure of "smiling at a camera."  I pretended to not know what the fuck I was doing, took a pic of my ass on self timer, caught myself  half face, looking into the camera "by accident," asking the camera wtf it wants - CLICK,  became the absolute fool, jester type, cursed the camera for being another impossible machine and as we progressed I actually got a great shot, both of them talking and laughing at their dumbass dad.

Two grams of ching, a synthetic 'research chemical' DARI. 500mg  of the thienyl anaog of n-methylamphetamine, where the thienyl ring replaces Ph in the structure. I think I prefer the ethylphenidate is superior to the meth analog.

As its Xmas, figured I had to have everything just go well, and fall into place as rapidly and wholly as possible. Just postwhoring a little, checking the email, reading on the cland. chem. and bio-punk fora, whilst I drink a few cold bottles of Beck's lager, and fly along with the ethyl-ritalin and oxy speedball :D

MMmmmmmm fuck that was good. Loaded up an oxy 80, and a couple hundred mg of the ethylphenidate, and just to top it off, a small but functional bump of methiopropamine, the meth analog on top, like a cherry on a cake :P
What a rush....surprised me, when I got a real, full blown bell ringer (A bellringer is the effect that is almost exclusive to cocaine use, intravenously is the only really highly prone to doing it. A feeling of stillness, almost like the ambience in the room paused for a moment, to directly stare at the using person getting the bellringer.

As though a tubular area surrounding the user, still, silent even when there is loud metal music being played at the time, one can hear, but its like the things heard are a few seconds out of phase with the rest of meatworld, which produces some odd auditory and proprioceptive effects.

Along with, the entire reason for the term 'bell ringer', that is a medium,to very slighty high pitch, ringing in the ears. A bellringer on coke or other DARIs that sometimes do it means you know you just had a good big fat fuck of a shot, that it 'hit the spot', so you can just sit down or lie down and relax, music blasting, cold beer in hand, going downstairs for a rollup in the kitchen, after I've first got off my ass and packed a bong rapid times.


Also bought: 3g each of two smoking blends, one based on a mixture of AKB-48 and 5-fluoropentyl-AKB-48 and the other based upon some adamantanoyl-substituted derivatives of APINACA, 1x350mg dose of n-ethyl-5-APB, some liquorice gums, bonbons and other candy.


Xmas dinner is ready now :)

Looking forward to the stilton cheese in particular, I LOVE stilton.

Oh and Ren, I wouldn't be using vinyl tiles, but glazed, so as to not be absorbent, ceramic ones.

The point being so nothing can get itself wormed deep into cracks and start breeding, or in the case of purely chem, to avoid the likes of shock-sensitive this, that or the other ending up soaked into the bench, etc. (to give an example of something I read about on an industrial pharmaceutical chemist's blog once, apparently concentrated perchloric acid was once used on that bench, and spilled.

When the time eventually came for the place to be refitted and updated, upon attempting to break the bench to pieces so as to be easier to manage, it detonated, the cellulose obviously having formed some nasty unstable explosive cellulosic ester derivative.)


And with ceramic, nice and easy to wipe down with antimicrobials, I don't fancy giving any and all cultured organisms a free for all protected niche to grow in :P

Just bought "most"  of the shit to put together a new (-er, bigger better) computer.


Still need PS, Vid, and an amazing audio card. Looking at several. Need to decide on a sound card.

Installed a Corsair thousand watt power supply, just in case. I plan to run several drives and a huge vid card.
Got it rendering today.  Still need to sort out the two big cards, but this thing seems three times faster at rendering huge flame files in the greatest detail, as is.

Looking into the ESI line. Leaning more toward that than the top of the line mAudio Pro line, which I was considering from previous experience in earnest before I decided that I have nothing but money to spend and "my time is limited," so to speak.

SO many great vid cards out there. Just want to flip a three or four GB file in a few seconds. Will never need most of what makes the most expensive cards expensive, such as 3D gaming, ffs.
