of the extending album art viral. which is relevant to the insipration/goal of this weeks image challenge. i actually struggled in finding these links via google so some people might not have seen them.

# Nice image
what's going on? Are people resurrecting a dead image challenge?

Why?

# there was a challenge a few months back
called "extending album art" based on the above viral links. this weeks challenge is an extension of that. however some people might miss the point of adding something outside the scene rather than shopping the original pic for lulz

# Yes, hence me saying 'dead image challenge', it was one of the better ones

I wasn't aware that there was a point. B3ta's never had one before..

aha, you've ninjad and changed your point. I can't be arsed to remember what you were saying.

Guest kitty likes to sleep on the desk next to my keyboard. It's because the computer blasts out its warm air there. Clever guest kitty.

# i haven't seen any of it
and anyway, why were you sleeping with a 32" telly near your legs?
(I helped save b3ta! Aphex The Mink Snackless, Fri 5 Sep 2008, 16:50, archived)
# the telly table is an old computer table at the foot of my bed
It's sturdy, and the monitor platform bit is big enough for the telly, but the cats jumping on the top of it must have moved it towards me until it fell a few feet onto my feet and shins.

I hope the swelling in my toe goes before tomorrow, I've got quite an important tournament to play in. :(

# ooh
actually that sounds quite nasty.
mind you serves you right for having a 32" telly
at the end of your bed!
(I helped save b3ta! Aphex The Mink Snackless, Fri 5 Sep 2008, 16:55, archived)
# yes.
I agree. But it was cheap, which is also why it's so fucking heavy.

# Ice. Ice and stuff.
Keep it elevated as much as you can.

Ice, compression, elevation.

Good advice.

a guy at my work is egyptian, and after coming back from a home visit, brought everyone rather nice paintings on papyrus. Very nice, and hand-made apparently.

He also returned from his holidays with the news that he'd got married while he was home. Which came as an enormous surprise, as he is the most socially-inept and campest egyptian I've ever met.
