Title: A little project I have begun...
Post by: Layabout on Sat 16/09/2006 17:40:03
I'd just like to inform you folks about a little project I have started. An experiment? Maybe... Zany? Oh yes... Stupid? Just a little bit...

Just follow the link and read to your enjoyment!

Yes I am using a fake name, don't spoil my fun. You may address me as Horatio or Mr Javoix or Idiot.

Well, Idiot, (you should've seem that a mile off!) could you elaborate? 'Cause the text appears all over itslef (don't ask) and all over images and it's just one big mush! I can't understand a word of it... That's just my browser, probably.

It must be just your browser, works fine for me (in IE and FireFox).

The 'experiment' part is similar to Dave Gorman's Important Astrology Experiment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Gorman#Dave_Gorman.27s_Important_Astrology_Experiment), as far as I can tell (live your life by your horoscope, forthose who can't be bothered following te link) - which could be kind of interesting, depending on how you stick to it. The rest seems to just be a standard blog-o-ramblings, but then it is only the first day...

Good luck, Mr Javoix, and hopefully you won't end up broke in Dubai by day 80. Oh, and: Why the Daily Mail Horoscope, for pete's sake?

Oh, so what Layabout is doing is something regarding astrology, horoscopes and nonsense like that?

Phew! Thought I missed some important game project!

Dammit! Dave Gorman has already done it!!! Damn him. It doesn't matter much. Well it does annoy me quite a bit actually. The reason I chose the Daily Mail, is that in the pub I work in, it is the only paper that gets delivered every day.

I might as well stick with it. It's not so much an experiment, it's more a reason to get me writing every day. Anyway, today's was quite unsuccessful. It's all a bit too vague anyway.

See what happens...

my suggestion is to force these things to happen. Your horoscope says you'll meet up with a long lost acquaintance so you track one down and meet up with them.

sitting around waiting for a horoscope to come true will make for a boring blog!

It works in Opera too. That covers all the bases...
