thong song?
Posted Nov 27, 2000
Well - I ordered a triplet of thongs from kiniki - on something of a whim - arrived a few days ago... and I've been wearing the last of the three for today, having tried on the other two for a day each previously.
The first was nice - they call it 'dice' - yeah I confess - I bought it for the name. 
It's a cotton g-string with a front which is appropriately white spots on red - I'll be able to kid people that 'MyRedDice' refers to it... hehe. Actually, it was really comfortable, which surprised - and looked reasonably good - not that anyone would have known... 
Second was 'fan' - ridiculously colourful g-string - rainbow-like, and psychadelic swirling patterns. Much fun... this one had a proper elasticated waist(dice had been less stretchy than normal underwear), which is good, though the elastic could possibly do with a little extra strength in the waist - but even that was ok - I certainly can't sue... 
Third and final was 'Thong' - nylon thong(duh), white, with a 'self-tie' side. This was somewhat less good, sadly - the things got no elastication in the sides, presumably because all that is required is for the wearer to get the tightness right when they tie it... hmm - well this seems to be tricky... the first time I did it up it was too loose, so it failed to, uh, restrain, those all-important front bits. So in the break after the first lecture I retired to the toilet and adjusted it to be a little tighter. Which solved that problem, but now, with the waist being tighter, the place where the back joins the waist was pulled higher, and so it pressed a little too forcefully onto my backside. oops. 
Anyway, between second and third lectures I left again for the loo, and adjusted it just the right amount - perfect - snug round the waist, and just pressed up against the back the right amount. Brimming with confidence, I picked up a can of pepsi to pass off as the reason I had left, and wandered back in. Oh, in case you're wondering, all three lectures were boring... 
In the afternoon went out for a 
and some wine - met up with some friends from another college in the anchor - all twas fun, good chitchat, and suchlike - but there was work tomorrow, so we all left reasonably early, and went back to our respective homes for dinner - for me, it was churchill college - 40 mins walk from the pub we finally ended up at. (mental note: get friends closer to home). So I wandered off back, in a somewhat wiggly state... 
Then, when I was about halfway back, there was a slight hitch... the wine had worked it's way through my system, and I needed to take a leak... 'ok - not a problem', I thought - I walked a goodly way off the pavement, up against a handy bush - clearly everyone on the road would guess exactly what I was doing, but at least they wouldn't see anything!
But there was a problem. My underwear was tied up appropriately tightly, and was, as I said, unelastic by design. Hence, there was absolutely no slack available, and no way to go with it on. Oops. Well, by this time I had to go /now/, so I undid the tie, and was appropriately relieved. Then my brain kicked back into gear... how the heck was I gonna tie them back up without just about everyone passing thinking it was some sort of bizzare strip show? 
I gave in. Well - I had too, really, so I stuffed everything back in, zipped up, and walked rather more quickly back home, having sobered up rather quickly... and I got back with no more mishaps - walked rather briskly back to my room to tie the thong back up again, check email and suchlike, oh - and take a fresh breath of air... then I noticed - the tie-on bit is pretty long - especially for the lefthand side, since it goes all the way round the waist, and then is part of a fairly extravagant bow... and it had managed to work it's way down my jeans and was trailing a good couple of feet out at the back... and in my alcohol-laden and hurried walking I hadn't noticed! I dread to think what the rest of the college thought... 
So, how was your day...?

Impatience
Posted Nov 25, 2000
*sigh*
(Almost) every time - put nailpolish on - get impatient waiting for it to dry, and end up ruining it by trying to do something else. When will I every learn? {chorus}
Who says women multitask more than men? We just fail more often...
Ahh well - all is unplanned for the meetup then - perfect!

Support at PC World
Posted Nov 15, 2000
gosh - that was tricky.
I bought a new PC at PC World - Packard Bell iMedia - works fine, but the monitor has a scratch. So I phoned up - finally managed to get through to their helpline - finally managed to persuade them, that no, it wasn't 'cosmetic', and yes, it was a 'defect in material', and further that yes, it was covered under my warranty.
They even attempted to warn me off, telling me that I'd get a factiory-reconditioned one that might be a bit yellowed in the plastic. Well, if that happens I'll paint over the darn thing, and it'll be fine - but they weren't gonna get away with it that easily!
Actually, for all their nitpicking, they were friendly, and I guess they were just doing their jobs. It's the idiots who make the policy at PC World that should be shot. Cosmetic indeed...
