Procedural Skills

"Now I just need you to extend your arm forwards. Yes, like that... And the other one.... yep, good. Okay, now can I get you to turn your hands over- no. No, stop that. No- just- Put your hands down- NICKI, THE MACARENEA IS NOT A DIAGNOSTIC TEST."

The Shire of Bland

N:

"I think it's time for water crackers."

K:

"I love water crackers."

"Me too; I'll get the dips."

"You know, I love them so much that I would quite happily eat them bland."

"Yes, I'll drink to that."

"... we lead interesting lives."

later:

K:

"I notice I tend to go for the little bit-at-a-time approach, whereas you just get massive chunks of dip."

N:

"We have complementary methods."

"We have complementary ways of eating dip?"

later still:

K:

"... It's not really dip- appropriate weather, is it?"

N:

"Please stop saying things I feel obligated to include in the blog."

We do. It's a legitimate thing.

Conversations

K:

"So let me get this straight. Jim and Brenton are sat in the labs at uni discussing it, while you and I are sat here, discussing it, and you and Brenton are texting each other to inform both parties of the separate discussions that are occurring simultaneously about the same thing."

N:

"Err, yes."

K:

"You know what I think? I think we should just form a committee. We can all sit down and raise various motions and take votes. That would be far, far easier for all involved."

N:

"But then how would we handle the Spanish Confessionals?"

Cup-o'-tea Count: An adequate amount for good confabulation.

.

I think I speak for everyone when I say "MEDICINE; YOU WEIRD."

K:

"You won't believe this, but there is such a thing as- well, firstly you should know that I'm doing a bit on ear infections- and one of the cures is called an aural toilet."

N:

"An oral toilet? That makes no sense. Also it's a bit gross."

"No, no, no. An aural toilet. It's... well, I suppose it's a toilet that goes in your ear."

"What."

"Yeah. I'll see if I can find a picture... oh, nope, that's just actual people sitting on actual toilets. Ooh, but there's a good one here of an elephant sat on a giant loo."

"An aural toilet is an elephant sat on a giant loo? Remind me never to go the doctors ever again."

Uni Life

N: 

"Man, I love being a Uni student. It's 8:30 and I still have plans to go out and stand by a street to take photos for my I&P course, and then go drinking and video game playing after that. This is great! It's like the evening is my morning all over again!"

K: 

"Yes, well you live in a twilight zone. Every day is like that for you."
