While looking at the blog , I noticed a link to a particular site in the Adsence ads.. It really struck me that you can just choose your style, size or budget and the thing spits out plans for you.. Crazy!!! Have a look, and tell me what you think...

Hard Work!
Wednesday, May 24, 2006
"Me" and Richard hard at work in the workshop. Gee without me, our discourse model just wouldn't get done :)Quote of the day
Suggestion box
Hey guys
Today was a day full of good quotes (that weren't from me, finally) so here goes:
Sandeep to Lexi, Ryan, Richard, Me : "Smoking alone is worse than watching TV alone, yet somehow drinking by yourself doesn't seem so bad"
Hehe, what a winner.
Lexi to previous group: " Drinking alone is the worse thing you can do after taking hard drugs (alone)" ... Lets not ask :)
Lexi trying to threaten Sandeep or something (hehe) : "Stop being a doormat and pull some rank" Sandeep asked me to quote him saying that he doesn't want to pull rank, but frankly his other quote was better :)
Ryan to Previous group: " I don't drink between drinks"... And now suddenly you make more sense to me :)
Ryan to me: " I feel loopless" ... as apposed to feeling looped? ;)
Lexi explaining to us how she used to get drunk on the phone which really isn't the same as drinking alone: " We were young, didn't have cars, it was the obvious thing to do" ...Ooops you know, I'm always missing those obvious things!
Oh be carefull what you say around me, Because I am on a mission to dethrone my quotes of the week. (R, don't even think ab quoting that)

SHOULD WE PANIC ?
Hello Feige and everybody in 2nd year
I think Friday 2nd is far too soon for all that computer work --- please get us an extention until the end of june... say 27th?
Love.
NB!- Whose pic is this??
Friday, May 19, 2006
Today I did not come into Wits but sent my dear darling sister to pick up my photo's. I gave her a copy of all the pics she shud pic up (They were reprints) yet she managed to take someone else's photo as well.
I dont know whose it is, but Im imagining that its imperitive that they get it ASAP. Its shabbat soon so can't bring it back to Wits but if whosever it is smses me I'll drop it at them by Sunday. If anyone knows who it is, let me know.
Ps. Just a little suggestion. I think the word imperical should exist.
Quote of the week
As of all you know, as well as DD, DD makes random comments very often. But today, when she unexpectly dropped by my house for tea :) she said something very wise, altho context might've been random, that I think needs to be quote of the week.
"Everyone wants what you've got, but no-one wants to go through what you've gone through to get it"
Me 'n DD
"Everyone wants what you've got, but no-one wants to go through what you've gone through to get it"
Me 'n DDFayjisms VS. Kayisms
Thursday, May 18, 2006
Yesterday morning at around 3, as Kay and I were still working in the darkroom it suddenly occurred to me, are there really any Fayjisms? It seems to me that alot of my vocab has been embedded through osmosis from talking to Kay so much.
Do any of these sound familiar?
Imagine
Too cool
Hot (Apparently from Paris Hilton but we'r going to ignore that)
Expire
Random
You may not think this is bad, but when any event occurs or anyone speaks to you and your first repsonse is Imagine that- You will know what I mean!
