Why am I so fucking stupid?

I = me
U = utility company

U: bring, bring
U: I'm sorry, we are experiencing an unprecedented level of demand. Waiting times are likely to be extended. We recommend you call back tomorrow morning.
U: bring, bring
I: Uh, ballpark figure? Ten minutes? An hour? I'd actually be more likely to do it if you could tell me. You must know, you have n calls being serviced, and N waiting, and the average call length t, it's not hard.
U: *annoying hold music*
U: *fade out*
I: *look up hopefully*
U: *good hold music*
I: *look down sadly*
U: *stop mid-song*
I: Aha!
U: *We appreciate you waiting for us.*
U: *more hold music*
U: *fade out*
U: "Good afternoon! I'm Chloe, how can I help you?" is what you'll be hearing shortly (well, not that shortly) if you stay on the line.
U: *excruciating hold music*
I: *click*
I: Fuck.

Hmm. Though I'm not quite sure: When questions are in the negative 'yeah right' and 'no way' are kind of ambiguous... Maybe I could be Hermione. Hermione is hot :)

Half blood prince review

I enjoyed it. But I can never tell how good overall a book is on first reading, because I love it (or occasionally hate it) and don't see the other side. However, I did manage to sleep in the middle, giving me a chance to mull over what was going on. Now follow some impressions.

( Massive spoilers of doom, not that anyone will care and not have read it. )

Interview meme

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your LJ.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

From rochvelleth, as if you can't guess :)

1) Mpreg? (I'm all curious as to whether other people get it now!)

I've come across the term, but mainly just think it's weird. Though I read the original "Man of steel, woman of kleenex", it's werid seeing something gakked across the web in mouldering paper. And I'm reminded of Simon doing the same thing at work: dropping 'slash' into the conversation to see who knows what it meant :)

2) Chocolate brownie or chocolate fudge cake? (this is such an important question!)

CAAAAAKE. Preferably hot chocolate cake with ice cream (never cream) = perfect gooey food.

3) If you could choose any (real!) historical character to come and sweep you off your feet, who would it be and why?

Umm. Not sure, I don't really do being swept off my feet per se. Some great mathematician?

4) The TARDIS materialises in front of you. The Doctor comes out and offers to take you anywhere you'd like to go. What do you say?

Wow, let's go. Did you know you're under-utilising your potential for paradoxical time-travel tricks?

It's disturbing -- I'm most like that twat with the hairdiers and the hole in his head...

5) Favourite twincest?

Ick! Ick! Squick! Well, any women, I suppose. LMJ's Durona group? Women twins seem underepresented, really, apart from weird cloned harem things.
