off to guard

at SB's last night, i saw something entirely strange. her system refused to load explorer - but through the task manager i could run practically anything, aside of course from ie. that's just strange. i'm going past her place for lunch to try and re-install.

we had a much-needed (for me, at least :P) talk, and i felt much better for it.

i walked through to the lizard, which was a good party. the mongoose's boss came to talk to me - after the "work" he saw me do he wants to start a new project with me. he started talking to me about google rankings, and then about a company that spams blogs. i suddenly connected this with a previous conversation with him where he talked about gambling ads, and i told him that i'm not prepared to join the dark side of the web.
he got this innocent look, and said: "well, it's money!"
it's not money. it's my soul we're talking about.

i'm right now in the early processes of waking up - i almost slept in, which would cause me no end of shite. my brain just wants to shut everything down and continue with the completely wicked and lucid dreaming...
