I'm away from Friday till late Sunday and most of the tasks will be done then

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

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

GLUTTONY

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

PRIDE

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

ENVY

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

SLOTH

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

LUST

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

WRATH

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.

3 Awesome films.

:wub:

Isla Fisher and Ryan Reynolds.

NEW ITEM OF CLOTHING (and therefore TASK) GET!

Creative Writing

This Wasn't in the Manual

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.

Bought a new flannel shirt today. 8-)

pics to come! You fixed my points yet mocky?

I repeated my shower-meditation earlier today. 1 more day to go for that task.

I have updated the table, fixing Ryan0rz and Zartan's points.

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.

I've been praying for the past three days. Meditation Task GET?

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:

).

You know I really, dont want to complain. In fact I dont want to complain so much, I am not going to complain.

So there will be no "but" to this post
