As you may be aware, it was Cap's birthday on Thursday! It was a jolly good day and it seems that everyone had fun. Here's a pic of Master's gift to Cap:

In the morning, ArwaChihuahua and Wicks were sat in the library with a textbook which, oddly enough, had buttons printed on paper that, obviously, could only be access via the virtual edition. It did seem rather curious why they weren't removed from the print edition. This only left Wicks and Aswa poking the page in an attempt to activate the 'hint' buttons. Naturally, this led to a discussion on the next generation of e-books. Wicks suggested that it would be most delightful if you could have moving diagrams on paper, much like a gif. on paper.
Onto another topic, Cap and Wicks had a chat about the evolution of the trouser. Do you think there's a future for trousers, or perhaps, as Cap and Wicks reviewed, nudist beaches will expand and become a global thing? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
As ConscienceSarah and Master prepared for an interview, we considered some abstract questions that they could ask. Favourites included 'if you could be a fruit, what fruit would you be?' and the same but substituting 'fruit' for 'shape'. A possible answer could be something like 'a tomato, because I'm controversial'. When asked Sharah's reply appeared to be very well thought out. She answered "I'd be a raspberry, because sometimes I'm sweet, sometimes I can be sour, and also I can be annoying, like when you get raspberry seends in your teeth. Also Wicks doesn't like raspberries."
So, as always, we like to keep you updated on our progress with the comic book shop each week. This week, Master decided that she wouldn't bother going into the shop to see if they had WicDiv. Instead she found their telephone number on the line and called in. Of course, it was the usual guy, ensuring a slightly awkward conversation, especially when they still didn't have it in stock. *sigh* Better luck next week.
As Friday rolled around, Cap managed to come up with some 'ship' names for Wicks and Sharah/Slickens - Wickens - and herself and Slickens - Slap. Currently I'm unsure if anyone's shipping any of these, but you never know.
Lunchtime turned out to be a counselling session for Master. After reading the Internet hoax about 'The Expressionless', Master was rather disturbed, but after re-telling the story to everyone, and having a good laugh about it all, she felt much better about the whole thing. Unfortunately, Sharah was feeling a little queasy and went for a walk outside, which initially confused us all. Once again, Master would like to express her thanks for the support :)
Saturday evening brought us to Cap's birthday bash, which was held at a pizzeria. Arguably the most hilarious thing that happened was that we had the opportunity to witness ConscienceSarah cut up her pizza and roll it up! In the end, she was the last one to finish. The combination of events did little to help, with her pizza having the largest diameter and being cooked in the batch after everyone else's, plus the fact that Sharah is the slowest eater out of all of us.
On the other hand, Master was given the job of calling waitresses to get water refills and, at the end, asking for the bill. After calculating the exact amount that everyone was to contribute, we ended up with a pile of money, which Master, also the in-house accountant, counted up. Overall, the bill platter looked a little like this:

| So much munneez! |
Overall, I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that we had a fantastic time. A huge thank you to Cap for inviting us!
Until next week, have a good one ;D
