…they go together so well, it’s strange. Or perhaps it’s destiny. ::stares wistfully towards the heavens::

I’m fairly sure i’ve overdosed on soda, even with my high tolerance levels. I found some Coke Orange in the store on the way home - basically some guy finally worked out how to turn on the Fanta and the Coke taps at the cinema, and realised what everyone else did years ago: it tastes nice. Not that it’s got anything on Dr Pepper Berries & Cream, so i had to go and drink a few cans of that afterwards to re-affirm my obsession. No wonder i nearly threw up during my workout yesterday, i’m sloshing with soda and chocolate, not gooooooood… (at least i wasn’t dumb enough to actually drink a load of soda before the session - i learnt my lesson about that when i had two cups of tea before trying out a Kung Fu class, and the whole class were sniggering as i sloshed my way through sit-ups. Seriously, it was like listening to someone tipping a water-bottle up and down, up and down… so embarrassing.)

What with the soda and the burger i had for dinner, oh god it was so good. I could feel it dissolving my insides. Why is beef and cheese so tasty? Gah.

Read this, for some bang-on Geek Girls info (except i’m not so sure about crushing on Han Solo or Luke, mleh. And emotion scifi eps as important as explosion eps? I don’t think so!). I’m off to watch Datalore, download some Andromeda, study Linux some more, and worry about the tomato plants i seem to be successfully murdering in our back garden. :s

If ‘geek’ means ‘lying in bed all day’, then i am a geek. Sadly, i don’t think it does, which means i am just a slob. Furthermore, i’m a lazy slob, since this weekend consisted of me not bothering to get out of my pyjamas for the whole of Saturday, and then getting dressed on Sunday only to get back into bed fully clothed and go back to sleep anyway (sleep interspersed with TV shows, Fab ice lollies, the odd bowl of soup and finally some microwaved chicken hotpot).

If it wasn’t for my confidence with SEO, i’d be worried i wasn’t a geek at all, but just a complete and utter dork. A dork, i think, is basically the same as a geek but without any skill. My coding, tech-knowledge and media know-how is always expanding but constantly (it seems) not as developed as those around me. My roller-skating looks all very impressive and cool until i hit a piece of grit, and then it’s all-hands-to-the-flailing and another small number of Exmouth citizens realise how close i really am to falling on my face every morning on the way to work.

To make myself feel better, i did a bit of research into hacking this weekend (Because what has a more cool reputation?? I really am a dork aren’t i, jesus.) and read up a bit about SQL injection. I also used the resources at my disposal to fix the darned gap above the titles in this blog… i found me some webmonkeys! I used the forums on www.iconbuffet.com, put the wordpress css files online, and offered to receive a big points-earner icon set to the first person to solve the css gap problem. Three minutes after i posted the blog entry, my css problem was sorted (it was even more of an obvious fix than i had feared), i had no icon tokens, and i’d threatened all parties involved with grievous harm if there was any css mockery at all.

Yay for bribery and webmonkeys! :D
