    Alright, this is pretty funny:

    France Modern (trois fleurs-de-lis)
    You are 'French'. In the nineteenth century, it
    was the international language of diplomacy.
    It is a 'beautiful' language, meaning that it
    is really just a low-fidelity copy of Latin.

    You know the importance of communicating
    'diplomatically', which for you means both
    being polite and friendly when necessary and
    using sophisticated, vicious sarcasm when
    appropriate. Your life is guided by either
    existentialism or nihilism, depending on the
    weather. You have a certain appreciation for
    the finer things in life, which is a diplomatic
    way of saying that you are a disgusting
    hedonist. Your problem is that French has been
    obsolete for a long time.


    What obsolete skill are you?

    I've been spurred into posting again when I was unexpectedly zinged by a fictional work. The book is called Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Its a fantastic read, and its really quite funny. Here's the necessary background for this quote: armageddon is rapidly approaching, and an agent of heaven (Aziraphale, an angel) is talking with an agent of hell (Crowley, a demon). Crowley is trying to convince Aziraphale of the dire consequences should heaven win the ultimate battle:


    "Listen," said Crowley desperately, "how many musicians do you think your side has got, eh? First grade I mean."

    Aziraphale looked taken aback.

    "Well, I should think..." he began.

    "Two," said Crowley. "Elgar and Liszt. That's all. We've got the rest. Beethoven, Brahms, all the Bachs, Mozart, the lot. Can you imagine eternity with Elgar?"

    Aziraphale shut his eyes. "All too easily," he groaned.


    I'm gonna say "ouch" for the Elgar family.

    Thanks to my good friend V-ger (name changed comedically to protect the innocent, not to be confused with HBJ-er), I've been playing a lot of old school shooter games. Here are some links for those interested:

    http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/windows/rr_e.html (non-stop boss fights!)

    My favourite has to be the first one, parsec47... its hardcore!

    In other news, I'm transitioning from the blissful world of the unemployed back to the dreary world of work. The former features sleeping in and lots of top-notch slacking, the latter features cubicles, early mornings, and responsibility. I swear it sounded like a good idea at the time... ;)

    I've been told that I "better be funny" in my journal. Now this is a lot of pressure, especially since I believe that most jokes suffer greatly out of context. To that end, I'll finish off with the funniest line from the new Tim Burton movie "Big Fish":

    "You see, my mother was banging the milkman..."

    Now you have to see the movie to see why thats so funny! How diabolical!

    So I should probably say something profound for my first livejournal entry... Bah screw it, I'm way too tired.

    Oh btw, the inspiration for my username can be found here: http://www.lumpen.com/video/nosebleed.mov
