"why are they talking like that, daddy?"

 well, the sickness is subsiding, but i still don't think i'll make it to work in the morning... i got really tired again tonight, moreso than usual, and mornings are partiularly bad for me when i'm sick (as they are with most people i'm sure), but we'll see how the night goes...

i spent alot of the day in bed, resting, but i got up at 1 and headed out to meet some friends around 2... sat and watched them play battlefront 2 for awhile, then we all went out for chinese... the events that followed were.... let's just say, odd...

we came back to the house, intending to watch Poolhall Junkies, but seeing as scott left the Xbox in the basement and we were already upstairs, we picked a VHS to watch instead... and for any number of reasons, he chose Goldeneye... quite possibly one of the best Bond movies of the run... best Brosnan one, anyways... well, for some strange reason, about 10-15 minutes into the movie, we all started talking to each other in "british" accents... now, i put that in quotes because there is no one universal "british" accent... i mean, that's like saying he spoke with an "american" accent.... WTF??? like, boston? or Georgia? and basically, europe is the same way... i can't pinpoint the exact origins of our accent choice for the evening, but it's just safe to say it was decidedly "british" and according to scott, very much like the new voice of the Gieco.com gecko... not the same as the old voice, a little different...

we spoke like that for the next 4 hours...

swear to god... we had all kinds of conversations in our funny british tounges... i guess, in a way, you could say we were simply getting into character for our parts in our upcoming movie, which is a spoof on James Bond films... and not in a "austin powers" way, either, way better... but we went to wal-mart, TWICE, and all over the place essentially, talking like we just came from across the pond... it was actually quite fun...

next week, Irish accents... :)

BHC

p.s: some of you will remember the days of old, when i was still an Agent (047) and blogging about having half-life challenges, where i documented how long i was playing to see how many hours, roughly, it would take me to beat the original game, and it's two expansion packs... well, i have the whole first week of February off from work... and i intend to restart the challenge AND complete it, in ONE SITTING... (hopefully none of you read the article about the gamer who died of a exhaustion-induced heartattack after 50 straight hours of gaming... cuz i'm looking at about that much gametime :) )

good night, and good luck
