There’s Damsels In Distress Out There And We’ve Got All This Beer

Music: Ballad To T.V. Violence ~ Cheap Trick
nothing like 4 days off to remind someone that they have no life...
I lie about the house watching tv or rebuilding my music library (which I got way too lucky on that, I will explain later), and go to Starbucks.
I really need to talk to someone who works there about some stuff, but she is always *gasp* working. how odd is that?
anyway, off to do something odd for my sister.

The Day The Music Died

Music: The Happiest Days Of Our Lives ~ Roger Waters
Ah, The Great Music Massacre...
Yes, it has achieved proper noun status in my mind.
For those of you who somehow missed it, the drive that I keep all my MP3s on crashed.  No more musics for Gale.
That makes Gale sad.
This time through, however, Gale is going to put all the albums on CD-R discs.  As Zip files so as to save a few CD-R discs.
Gale is clever like that.
Gale is going to put all of the CD-R discs in a safe place for if this ever happens again.  There will also be some papers hidden away that explains just what is on each of those CD-R discs.
Gale is also clever like that.
That is all for now.
Gale says goodnight!

Something Touched Me Deep Inside

so, yeah.
it would seem that the drive i kept all my music upon crapped out on me.
this makes me sad.
anyway, i was off some place the other night and they were selling farscape dvds for $1.99 each.
too bad I don't like farscape.
anyway
have fun.

Come In Here Dear Boy, Have A Cigar, You’re Gonna Go Far…

I had this big thing typed out, but i decided to scrap it based on the fact that it was too whiny.  even for lj, so, here ya go.
enjoy
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.
You're gonna go far, fly high,
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try;they're gonna love you.
Well I've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
we call it Riding the Gravy Train.
We're just knocked out.
We heard about the sell out.
You gotta get an album out,
You owe it to the people. We're so happy we can hardly count.
Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart?
It's a helluva start, it could be made into a monster
if we all pull together as a team.
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
we call it Riding the Gravy Train.

I Read The News Today, Oh My

Yeah. 
I was reading the QC awhile ago, and saw this in the news post for thursday's comic.   Good stuff there, eh?
"Special thanks go out to one James Ballard of Golden, CO for basically paying my bills next month due to his repeated patronage of the QC store. Enjoy all your shirts, James! I will have electricity thanks to you!"
I should have had him order one for me when he was offering awhile back.
Ah well.
Goodnight kids

Here ya go

Talkie Toaster

After first inflicting wilful damage upon his defective Talkie Toaster^TM (patent applied for) and then sabotaging its timeline by blocking a white hole, Crapola, Inc. customer David Lister found no solace. Time reverted to his previous altercation with the defective product, and the option of blocking a white hole (as recommended in the printed manual) was no longer available. Although he was not aware of it, David also had an added complication. If he allowed the present timeline to continue, his ship's computer would have its lifespan irrevocably reduced to less than four minutes, rendering it useless. This is his story.

Talkie Toaster
Howdy Doodly Doo! I'd like to toast for you -
A muffin, or a waffle, or a flapjack
That's because you see, thanks to boosted memory
Your favourite Talkie Toaster's made a comeback!

David Lister
Oh smegging hell! Oh no! Oh smeg, it can't be so!
What the smegging smeg's he smegging done?
Just shut your flamin' grill. I'll sort him out, I will
Any rubbish he's rebuilt can be undone

Talkie Toaster
Won't you have a bun? I'll toast one just for fun
I know you'd like it with some curry sauce
Oh won't you have just one - a lovely currant bun?
I've neglected you of late, I feel remorse

David Lister
Remember my lump hammer? There's an increasing clamour
From my heart and soul to cause you so much pain
Recall the garbage chute, and the years you spent so mute?
That could soon be the life for you again

Talkie Toaster
Do you recall I sing? Toast's not my only thing
My raison d'être often causes doubt
"Fly me to the moon, it's made of cheese" I'll croon
And cheese on toast is what life's all about

David Lister
Listen, you thick machine! What do you think I mean
When I say not to cook your smegging bread?
Shut your grill, here and now, or you'll find out just how
It could be you that's going to cook instead!

Talkie Toaster
Before you have a go, there's one thing I must know
It's important that I tell the other rabble
I want to make amends, and everything depends
On if you want a nice cheese and ham brabble

David Lister
Toaster, you've got it wrong, I've never liked your songs
And there's no chance of reconciliation
You're too obsessed with bread. It's doin' in my head
I just can't take your manic fascination

Talkie Toaster
I'm sorry 'bout your head, but I'm not obsessed with bread
I'm glad to cook a potato cake or two
I'll toast one for you now - I'm sure I recall how
Just pass the spuds - I'll heat 'em good right through

David Lister
Can't you understand? You cannot countermand
An order not to offer any toast
Toaster can't you see, you're irritatin' me!
I'll smash you once again if I get close

Talkie Toaster
Hey, don't be so rough. You know you're not so tough
Your moral code is something that you treasure
I've no cause to boast. I only want to toast
In quantities that are quite beyond measure

David Lister
You're testing my restraint. You know I ain't no saint
I'll rip the browning knob clean off yer fascia
An electric current here, a wire cut at your rear
And I could be toasting memory erasure

Talkie Toaster
Steady on there Mister, you lovely Mister Lister
It's my life's work - I toast therefore I am
It's my purpose in life, so don't give me such strife
It's little different to your stupid plan

David Lister
My plan is stupid, eh? That's the final straw I'd say
I'm gonna go to Fiji with Kochanski
Kryten's coming too - there's no way I'm taking you -
At least he'll enjoy cleaning underpantski

Talkie Toaster
Don't be such a twit. There's not a chance of it
Kochanski's only dust to grit your path with
Let me toast you a bap, you poor demented chap
And bread could be the reason that you live

David Lister
I will take the risk. I'm gonna find that disk
Rimmer can't hide Krissie's file forever
Alternatively, I've another thought, you see
In other worlds Kriss is still being clever

Talkie Toaster
What are you on about? You're mad, there's no more doubt
It's clear to me your brain has left your body
The seeds of your plan are sown, in dimensions unknown
And, frankly, your reasoning is just shoddy!

David Lister
And I suppose you'd know, that she'd never go
And leave her own dimension just for me?
No kitchen appliance, can understand the science
Or the love I had for Kristine Kochanski

Talkie Toaster
Oh, you stupid man! Forget your hopeless plan!
She dumped you after such a short affair
So forget all your tripe, she just was not your type
Deluding yourself so is quite unfair!

David Lister
What the smeg am I doin'? I'll only end up rueing
A conversation with this jumped up clutter
I regret the day I bought you - it was only 'cause I thought you
Were a bargain little treasure, not a nutter

Talkie Toaster
Yes, I admit it's true. Toast is what I do
Baguettes, they have a real fascination
But that is not my all - I am your alarm call
And I offer thoughtful conversation

David Lister
One thing's not quite clear; just why are you here?
The accident left you in smithereens
That's how you should be, not talking to me
Did Rob and Doug think you were worth more scenes?

Talkie Toaster
Who are Rob and Doug? Don't work in any plugs
You are the Creator, we have seen
And who repaired me? You mean you cannot see?
It all the work of your bogbot machine

David Lister
Holly, where is Krytes? I'll put him to rights
Explain to him why this thing went for trash
Toast 400 times, between hourly chimes
It's a maddening twenty dollarpound waste of cash

Talkie Toaster
I'm value packed, I'm nice, and it would suffice
If you would just eat 10 pancakes an hour
You need not short fuse me, or in any way abuse me
Or even disconnect me from main power

David Lister's computer, Holly
Kryten's on his way, and may I just say
It's good to see you toaster, once again
He cooked lots of bread - the space weevils he fed
While he and his companion kept me sane

David Lister
What do you mean companion? I've not seen a companion!
There's another smegging toaster here on board?
Is that what you mean? If so, that's quite obscene!
They could multiply, and that we can't afford!

Can you imagine life, ruled by the butter knife
Toasters in every room with no escape
Piles of toast all round, muffins carpeting the ground
Crumpets flying through the air like ticker tape!

David Lister's computer, Holly
Your toaster was chrome Dave, but Kryten seemed to save
The AI chip alone, from your special edition
The red casing you see, is Todhunter's Model C
Consigned to waste disposal for sedition

Guilt could not be proved, but that toaster was unmoved
By my affection for singing potatoes
For the space weevils' sakes, they became potato cakes
With skutters, dressed in bow ties, used as waiters

Talkie Toaster
You mean that I'm not chrome? My mind's not in its home?
I'm a lowly Model C - no thick/thin option?
I thought my voice had changed... I've lost my vocal range
The shame! The shame! Who's plotted this corruption?

David Lister
Yeeesss! Alright! That's brutal! Almost as good as Bootle!
A toaster with inferiority delusions!
And the bit I like the most, is he can't cook much more than toast!
No more muffin offers, or other such intrusions!

Talkie Toaster
He's right you know - it's true. Whatever will I do?
Only flat products can I offer to this room
No more baguettes for me; cancel muffins for tea
I'm useless, hopeless, fzzzt, pop, bang, ka-boom!

David Lister's mechanoid, a Kryten 4000 Series
The toaster's blown a fuse. Oh my, but that's no use
I'll repair him right away - give me an hour
He's vital to my plan, 'cause he shows that I can
Restore Holly's IQ and her brain power

David Lister's computer, Holly
Oh yeah, I meant to say, I found a file today
That says that Kryten's plan just will not work
We've already had a go, and found problems you know
There was a white hole - timelines went beserk!

My runtime was reduced, but in that time I produced
A file that even I can understand
Hidden safely away, to survive the time melée
Kryten, you can't restore my brains as planned

David Lister
Hol, show me the file. Wow! This lasted for a while!
Weeks of memories gone, and no Lise either
But hold on, what is this? Said, "I'm not gonna mish"
At pool with planets it seems I am a diva...

Smoke On The Water, Fire In The Sky

So. Yeah.  There was this.
