I will allow this extension since you put in a formal request. Don't let me down.

It's probably only going to be for the guru and the day out anyway
(Although I may put my six degrees films on my ipod)

UPDATE

Last night I spent a good ten minutes sitting on the floor before I went to bed, breathing slowly with my eyes closed. I didn't achieve enligtenment but I did feel more relaxed. Two more nights of that and I'll have a Task GET! presumably, unless Taskmaster has any problems with it not being an 'official' method as mentioned on his 'website' 'earlier'.

New item of clothing is forthcoming.

My proposed six degrees of seperation task begins with Jean Reno, because he's way cooler than Kevin Bacon. I've just been to HMV and have raped their DVD Sales aisle, so now have with me some top notch disc-based entertainment to keep me occupied over the coming days.

Creative writing... I'll get back to you on that one.

For the landmark, I stood and admired the Wheel of Sheffield this afternoon (basically exactly the same as the London Eye except with more whippets and flat caps) - unfortunately budgetary issues prevented me from boarding. Is this sufficient for a Task GET!?

For the seven deadly scenes task I thought I'd include all the odds and sods around in my room. So, here they are then, the seven deadly scenes...

GREED
Image

Little Blue Man gets trapped in a bottle full of coppers.

GLUTTONY
Image

Little Blue Man gets trapped in a similar bottle, this time filled with jeslly beans. He never learns.

PRIDE
Image

Monkey won something. Monkey won't stop showing off his medal.

ENVY
Image

Pink Spikey Thing wants Monkey's medal but he is not worthy.

SLOTH
Image

Little Blue Man can't be arsed to do anything productive with his day so just hangs around and plays N64.

LUST
Image

Little Blue Man experiments with auto-erotic asphyxiation whilst being sucked off by a frog.

WRATH
Image

Little Blue Man gets taken out by an unknown assassin.

You seem stressed. Perhaps use these 54 minutes to meditate and continue your Guru task?


After 5 minutes of meditative breathing (with my eyes closed) I feel slightly less infuriated by Megavideo.

*thinks calming thoughts*

Well done JK, Task GET!s for Funfilled Outing and Seven Deadly Scenes Task. Two Hard Tasks and 10 points in the bag already.

I hope you actually appreciated the Wheel of Sheffield rather than simply stopping by and taking a quick photo of it.

I will accept any meditation technique for the The Guru task. However on the website I linked to, one of the methods was a simple 'close your eyes and breathe deeply while counting repeatedly to a certain number' variant on the method you chose. You may also want to vary things up a little and try some other more complicated techniques on there.

Thank you O Taskmaster.

Rest assured, I considered having a go on the wheel myself, but I had no cash and it looks a bit weird when you're by yourself. Maybe I can go on it when the girly comes to visit... we shall see.

Creative Writing

This Wasn't in the Manual
As soon as I could hold a pad
I played computer games.
It was my favourite pastime
to my mother's eternal shame!

I remember when the mining stopped,
the collieries awash with despair.
I asked "What are you moaning about?
You're free from Eugene's Lair!"

I spent hours playing Tetris
thanks to Alexey Pajitnov,
but when I knocked down my garden wall
my rocket didn't blast off!

My hedgehog conservation scheme
never got far off the ground.
I made a shield of fairy liquid
and my poor pet hedgehog drowned!

I hated it in school when quizzed
upon the Greek Colossus
"HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO BUILD BOY?"
"Dunno, about fifty turns miss?"

To fit in I joined the school cadets
and all was hunky dory,
until I was caught with ninteen guns
held in my inventory!

I left school and entered work
then went up for promotion,
but their interviewing expertise
countered my levelling potion!

I trained to be a plumber
with a view to saving the princess,
I stuck my head down a toilet pipe
and got an infected abcess!

I met a young filly who loved me
and eventually had her defrocked,
but I ruined the mood when I shouted
"BOINK! ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!"

When war broke out I was drafted,
I bravely answered the call!
BANG - I was shot, they cried "MEDIC!"
S'okay, I'll recharge behind this wall!

A bogey jumped over to finish me,
I unsheathed my GI combat knife.
Did I thrust, parry, strike or slash?
Nope, I just waggled for my life!

The waggle was not quite successful,
and you'd expect me to adopt a frown,
but I grinned as I was perforated,
I had a Phoenix Down!

As the coldness of death embraced me
I was in a familiar place.
No quotes from Plato or Ghandi,
just a stranger teabagging my face!

This poem may sound like a warning
of the dangers escapism brings,
but make room in your day for a virtual play,
it's much safer than the real thing!

I sat down for five minutes yesterday and stared in the distance, slowly breathing in and out while thinking about my life. Meditation 1/3.

Before I go uploading any pictures, is it okay if my clothing purchase was from last week?

I'm afraid the purchase must be made during the week that the task is set, so, this week.

Partook in some meditation while the water rained down upon me from a shower head. Smooth, warm and comforting like a bag of candy floss. 2/3

Praying can be a form of meditation I suppose. Did you find it to be a relaxing/useful experience?

Yeah, it was good to reflect upon the day. It wasn't just repetition of Our Fathers and Hail Marys, it also included quiet contemplation of the day I'd had, focussing on what I could do better tomorrow. Thinking of continuing it to be honest (I'm RC, so I should be praying every day, but I haven't been up until the past three days :lol: ).
