a nice random image to get you started:
i now have a FLICKR page too!
"why would a reviewer make the point of saying someone's *not* a genius? do you especially think i'm *not* a genius? you didn't even have to think about it, did you?"
"monkeys are superior to men in this: when a monkey looks into a mirror, he sees a monkey.”
"i am secretly afraid of animals.... i think it is because of the usness in their eyes, with the underlying not-usness which belies it, and is so tragic a reminder of the lost age when we human beings branched off and left them: left them to eternal inarticulateness and slavery. why? their eyes seem to ask us."
"we've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of shakespeare. thanks to the internet, we now know this is not true..."
african monkey proverb: "the day the monkey is destined to die, all the trees get slippery."
"i'll buy a bunch of monkeys, dress them up, and make them re-enact the civil war"

"My name's Gael,and I'm an Amazon addict"
I keep meaning to add up how much I've spent with them in the last year, but I daren't ...
monkey_finger says:
blamb - its not that bad. its just i'm not very good at budgeting myself, and i'm sitting here at work, doing nothing but looking at moblog and compiling amazon wish lists, which i then instantly delete.
christ i'm bored.
EDIT: gael, i don't even want to think about my total bill. its too scary
Gael says:
You'd have to call it AAA
Amazon Addicts Anonymous
... only we've just outed ourselves ...
monkey_finger says:
only with our moblog sobriquets though. we could pass in the street and never know.
reminds me of a cartoon where there are a group of people standing under a banner saying "attention seekers anonymous" and one of them is saying 'why do we have to be anonymous anyway?'
backwards lamb says:
i also would be joining this aaa, damn amazon! with its nice cheap dvds and records and cds! i have spent too much of my budjet, then not thinking ive actually spent any money i will go to an actuall shop and spend real money not internet money! damn internet!
Gael says:
OMG I've placed 36 orders with them (inc secondhand stuff) so far this year!!!
... goes tff to cut up credit cards ...
monkey_finger says:
now my mother is sending me links for amazon books! she's evil!
go on buy the book... you know you want to....and its reduced....mwhaa ha haaaa.........books loverly books..
backwards lamb says:
monkey finger seems to be a bit more addicted to dvds! i have recently purchased a book which is out of print and its taking like a month to deliver and i want it now!! i brought it at the same time as the envelope one but its not here yet. :(
monkey_finger says:
just bought pirates and scientists - only 74p!
with postage £3.49 though. the new one isn't actually released yet, but its on my wishlist. i'll wait for it to become available on new+used
EDIT: damn you paintist
monkey_finger says:
hmmm. just added up all the money i've spent on amazon over the last year, and its actually much less than i was expecting.
added to my fopp bill, though, and we're close to namibia's GDP
backwards lamb says:
damn you!!! just had a look at fopp! now there is somewhere else i can look for lost dvds! damnit!
Uber_Spy says:
This is all sounding very familiar. 'Its not real money is it?'. Hehehe. Except I'm addicted to Ebay. What about an association for addicted online shoppers? MF - I just signed up for a service where you select a whole bunch of DVD'S, and they post them to you 1 by 1 - you watch 'em - then mail them back. Costs a tenner or so a month...
This may help you try barterbee.com. You can still geet addicetd but no money chages hands.
monkey_finger says:
bmal - how the fuck do you not know about fopp? i thought everyone knew who they were! my god man, what have i done?
u_s - those subscription services are cool, for some reason i've never signed up to one. i think i'm afraid of direct debits.
oh, and thank god for work computer filters - i can't get onto ebay!
EDIT: ricorick - nice one!
EXTRE EDIT: dammit! its american!
monkey_finger says:
the other problem with the whole rental thing is that i'm a hoarder - i need to keep stuff.
backwards lamb says:
monkey finger! what you need is a computer and a burner, *ripping is fun! . or a dvd player and a video recorder.
*i have never done this, i have only ever copyed dvds i own personaly as a backup purposes!
monkey_finger says:
no, because i'm also a completist - i need the fancy boxes, the liner notes, or whatever gumf comes with the dvd/cd/whatever...
backwards lamb says:
well there are lovely websites that have them for download and dvd lables and all that.
once again i have only used these for novelty purposes only!
backwards lamb says:
well then thats your own fault! you only have your self to blame!
monkey_finger says:
at least i'm not killing babies and burning rainforests like you are with your piratical activities...
backwards lamb says:
yes pirate videos fun terroisum thats what FACT say. no honestly i have only ripped dvd to put on my psp! all legal and above board
mouseninja says:
but pirates rock...
i bought the PoC tattoo book, and put the transfer of a pirate ship on my fish tank... ;)
oh, and let's hope Mason hasn't found amazon recently... he's bought so many dvds this month! most of them are still at mine... and i'm catching up...
:(
monkey_finger says:
amazon prime? holy crap, thats worrying. luckily, i tend to do mine from new & used, and i doubt it would apply to them...
monkey_finger says:
noooooooo!
i'm sure amazon know when its payday too - they bombard me with emails every time
monkey_finger says:
yeah, but being opressed by cheap dvds and books i can live with...
Gael says:
Mandy - you get free p&p; for a minimum spend .. so you just have to buy an extra book, just to get the free shipping : )
FilbertFox says:
i feel smug - i buy form amazon and ebay, and look at the site all the time. But i am not an addict, i am in control, i can give up when ever i want.......honest
FilbertFox says:
i like the searching for odd items, such as big pink pants, or dog turd. And i haven't bought anyting since............last week
backwards lamb says:
lol! why are you searching for dog turd? you are a bit odd aint you?
