I still can't sleep.
I don't know if it's good or bad, but I certainly am living in interesting times.
New Orleans is still appealing, but San Francisco is calling, too. With my luck it's probably collect.
It feels weird making a part 2 of this...
I like plain ice cream sanwiches better than neopolitan ones.
Tower of Power "What Is Hip" really has the best bassline ever.
Some of my favorite things in the world: my baby boy, fireworks, Calvin & Hobbes, ice cream with those little wooden spoons, The Mouse and His Child, Curve, tattoos, the Sydney Harbour Ferry, fat pupy tummies, rubber ducks, champagne, the nights before Christmas when it's cold and all the lights are up everywhere, vanilla candles evergreen candles...
I have fantastic friends. Mostly.
Y'all make my life a better place to be.

Ow my back is fucked up. I am a mess.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:22 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe you need a backiotomy

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I need a lobotomy more

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I just registered my_penis_will_surprise_you@hotmail.com. I cannot believe I do this to myself. Chris, you are the funniest mofo ever. Oops, you know you wanted it.

If any of y'all want this email, let me know...

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:41 (twenty-two years ago)

No, no, it'll look great on your resume.

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I do not want ANY penises besides my own, even yours

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Oooh, good thinking, 99!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I do not want ANY penises besides my own, even yours

Pussy.

I wasn't going to give it to you, anyway.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm becoming a worse and worse person the older I get. How can this be?

― That Girl (thatgirl), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:47 (twenty-two years ago)

do you even realize what you did right there?

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:47 (twenty-two years ago)

You're becoming worse? I just registered my_penis_will_surprise_you as an email account!

Anyway, I love you Sam.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes of course I do.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna, that's only a bad thing if you use it to fool people into thinking that your penis will surprise them. Unelss it actually will surprise them. Or something. I'm all confused.

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, truthfully, I don't have a penis of my own (that I didn't buy, and that doesn't really count, does it? nor does it surprise many people, I'm sure), but if I *did* have one, I bet it would surprise everyone! (Even me!)

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:51 (twenty-two years ago)

So yeah, Luna, those painkillers kicked in yet?

Um, I think so.

You have a penis that you bought? You mustn't know about dildos

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Um, duh

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:56 (twenty-two years ago)

It's more fun to rent them.

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Rent dildos? Wouldn't you have to boil them before and after? Imagine your friends coming over, "hey whatcha cookin? - lifting up lid of pot - mmm, dildo soup!"

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 06:59 (twenty-two years ago)

"Hey, are those gnocchi-- OH MY GOD!"

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Why the fuck would you boil them after? Ain't that the next man's job?

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Because... ew.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyway, no, not dildos, you rent actual fleshy penises. Sometimes you have to rent the entire person they're attached to, alas, but it's worth it.

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmm...

I mean, heavens, not mine in particular. Surely.

Haven't you seen those people walking around with 'Penis For Rent' signs, luna?

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Apparently I've been missing a LOT.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:05 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread started out so innocently, like a colorful flower in a little girl's hair. And now we've corrupted it, like a rented dildo. I weep for its lost innocence

hahahahaha - really, I love you both. Oops, I love you, Chris, I love you. Y'all are perfect.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:09 (twenty-two years ago)

is that a rented penis in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:12 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a secret. C'mere...

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:15 (twenty-two years ago)

(I can only wonder what the hell Sarah will think of this in the morning...)

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:16 (twenty-two years ago)

SURPRISE!

Oh no you don't. I refuse to participate in your twisted 'surprise party'

Fine. None for you.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Does it feel at all weird to you that we're talking about dildos and rented penises (penii?) and Dan isn't here?

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Isn't he though. Isn't he?

No, of course he's not. That was stupid of me. Stupid stupid stupid

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't know if that says more about us or him. Or what we think of him. IT WAS ALL OUT OF LOVE, DAN!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Love for surprising, rented penises!

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Um, yeah, right. That.

And with that, I bid you all goodnight...

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish I had another day off work, even though I just had one. Does that make me greedy? Anyways, the sun is shining & it's a good day, just sad to be at work.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:56 (twenty-two years ago)

My baseball career is over. :( according to the doctor i have a degenerative hip condition that is pretty bad. I played a game last night and had to leave i could barely walk. Went to hospital and the hip is shot. His advice was to avoid playing baseball/hockey, wonderful. Two of the things that I truely hold close to my heart and have an undying passion to play and have been playing since I was 5 now must come to an end. He did say it was ok to play once in a while but not in a competetive sense. Well at least I'll be able to watch my kids do it someday. I'm sad...

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 10:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Not at all Mark C. Tell us your troubles!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 11:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I dunno, I've descended from being relatively cheery to very pissed off in about half an hour. I am incredibly easily annoyed by those round me, and I am suddenly resenting other people a lot. Why does this happen? Why all the rage?

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 11:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Is it your time of the month?

Mark C/ Boy in Corduroy, Welcome to the club. Please do type like this if you wanna be one of us. ha ha
Good morning, star shines. The earth says hello. And so do lots of surprise rented dildos. Ah, what a pleasant surprise. Thanks.
I really haven't done any work yet this morning and it's been about 45 minutes. My boss just keeps calling and giving me more things to do, so I've been writing them down and saying, "uh-huh, yes, of course, right away..."
I made little song listings and printed them out on labels to stick on the back of my Times Ten cds. If anyone hasn't gotten one and wants one, just email me your addy.

I need some rock music in here. Will someone sing to me?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 12:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I was the Simon Trife of alt.music.alternative and this fact is kind of shameful now that I'm old and my brain has been destroyed by drugs

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 12:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Sarah - is that your band? (sorry if it is & i should've known that!) If so, I would be interested, but sadly I am in the UK.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 12:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Pinkpanther, Times Ten is my main band. I don't mind mailing a package out of the country if that's what you mean.
Funny how a bunch of ILXors will be in Baltimore the week after NA and I visit and we're supposed to be in Philly then! (I think, I might be confusing myself, I am at work now after all)

I have my class tonight. Tomorrow night NA has a show with this really awesome local band so I might have to cancel my practice. They're gonna kill me! But, you see, sometimes I've got to be the groupie.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sure you're getting wiser with age! How old are you, BTW? Hmmm.. I suppose I could look on Friendster... I'm 25, but I feel like I've been 25 for a v. long time, so I guess the days aren't getting that short for me yet.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I have nothing much to say these days

My mom just called almost in tears. She missed a train to dc & will thus be late to her conference. I'll be eating lunch with her. Wish me luck.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris, I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm expecting to hear similar things because of my bad knee one day soon, so I empathize fully.
Sarah - have fun with your mom!
Mark - exclusive? With me here? HA!

Lions and tigers and dildos, oh my!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

But you're what makes it exclusive, Luna!
Sarah, I emailed you ages ago about a CD, but I guess you didn't get it. I've got all your other CDs - I even got that underground shit you did with Skam.
I also used the phrase "rocking the Sarah McLusky look" to Jerry the Nipper and Liz :x last night.

I'm off for beers tonight, then a long, humid train and tube journey to the other side of London, to my cosy, leafy bourgeois suburb. I love it.

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Well darlin, then you should know you're already part of the 'in-crowd'!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

BoyinCorduroy, send me your addy again. Sorry.
By the way, did I ever mention that I had a crush on this guy in college my freshman year who wore corduroys every day and chewed on his pen? I was so enamored that I wrote a poem in my diary about him in which I refered to him as Corduroy Boy.

You can read about my lunch here. Blah.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Awww Sam, I'm sorry - cars are a pain in the ass.

Sarah, I'd like one, if you're sendin!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 18:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha ha. Luna, I sent you one without you asking along with your mix cd!

Sam, I don't have any tattoos I'm afraid. I just thought that one was cute and reminded me of you.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks, sug!! I can't wait to hear 'em!

I need better drugs.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 17 July 2003 07:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I had this dream last night that I saw these people fighting on the way home from my class. I was walking on the sidewalk and I got scared so I hid. Turns out this guy found me and said I had to kill the other two people or he'd kill me. So I managed to escape. I tried to stay in very public places. He found me again at a pool party and he said, 'You're safe here, Sarah. But the next time you think you're alone, I'll be there and I'll shoot you.'
And then I had another dream where I went to the doctor today (which I'm supposed to do at 2pm) and they told me I had a bad case of cancer and would probably die in the next couple of months.

Grrr... Why does my mind have to be such a bastard? All I wanted to do was relax and get some sleep.

i'm at home in bed cos i can't walk cos of my back and the drugs aren't working and it took me ten minutes to walk 10 steos to the bathroom and i started to cry along the way. how lame. also, OW.

sarah, how did it go??

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 17 July 2003 21:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Hope your feeling ok Luna. I know what its like to not be able to walk the past couple of days. It sucks to walk around the office like Im 90, because I've got a bum hip. Im going to drink it all away on Saturday afternoon at a giant wiffleball/bbq.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 18 July 2003 10:15 (twenty-two years ago)

aww Luna that sounds awful, I hope you are feeling better soon.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 18 July 2003 10:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Going to the doctor was just about as unpleasant as I had imagined, but at least it's over now. When I walked in to the lobby I felt kind of sad because it was full of old people, really old people. I guess I don't tend to see old people any more. I have two grandparents left, but they both live in Texas and I haven't seen one of them - my mom's dad - in about 10 years. One day I discovered that old people go grocery shopping during the day when everyone is at work. But anyway, it was weird. I somehow forgot for a moment that people get all leathery and weak. But NA hung out with me in the lobby and that made me feel better and I got drugs and that's what's important, right? :)

I didn't get to sleep until... I dunno... around 3am? So I'm pretty sleepy this morning. And my jacket reaks of smoke, but it's my favorite one so I just had to wear it in today. But hey, IT'S FRIDAY!!! WOO HOO!

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Friday, 18 July 2003 11:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Aw, I wish Sarah felt better, and especially Luna, who was no NA around to help. I wish I could give you a back rub or something.

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 19 July 2003 00:07 (twenty-two years ago)

aw, Luna. I hope you recover as soon as possible. I'd send hugs, but I think sending massages is more appropriate right now, if no more useful really.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 19 July 2003 12:31 (twenty-two years ago)

It is so, so horribly frustrating to have trouble walking. I hate to hear of Luna and Chris' problems...
When I get really tired (which happens all too easily) I get this horrible grandma-frankenstein walk. It becomes awkward and excruciating to move and I just want to cry. I am usually returning home from whatever tired me out, and people look at me funny, or with an annoying you-poor-thing-you're-so-young pity, and I just want to hide. I get to somewhere I can lay down, feeling leaden and sore, and the disappointment sets in fully. It takes a lot of effort not to hate my body, not to feel that my body is turning against me with this illness I have. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to burst with the uncertainty and sadness of it all.
I didn't intend to spill, but just wanted to say that I know how it feels to have trouble with things that other people take for granted, that you used to take for granted. It's unimagineable until you're in the situation, and then it can feel overwhelming.

That was just an especially verbose way of saying--hugs, etc.

― JA (j_bdules), Saturday, 19 July 2003 13:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Julia: with everything you're going through, that you have the strength and will to even think about posting here, says you must care about us an awful lot. Thank you.

Chris: be careful, buddy. Don't let them put you on the smack!

To paraphrase something that someone wonderful said to me a few days ago: WOULD SOMEONE JUST FUCKING KILL ME ALREADY?!?!?!?

― Bryan (Bryan), Saturday, 19 July 2003 22:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yes. I forgot to mention how much I'm enjoying Dada's pics.

― Bryan (Bryan), Saturday, 19 July 2003 22:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks, Bryan. Sorry about the threadkillah personal post above. I'm not usually that bad. And don't usually post such personal things...

I was supposed to get the boxed set of the Sopranos season 2 and instead they only gave me disc 2 of the season. So I'm wondering if i should order the 1st disc and wait or just say fuck it and watch the season out of order. Quandry du jour.

I have a BUCKET of Trader Joe's oatmeal cookies. A small bucket, but a bucket nonetheless. This makes me rather happy.

I have Howard Jones (Tears to Tell) in my head...

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Sunday, 20 July 2003 16:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I had a lovely weekend. NA and I got to play a show together (well, both of our bands...) and that was superfun. ClarkeB and stolenbus were both there. They were jealous we got to meet Ned in New York! :-)
Also, I spent all of Saturday with my dad, sisters, sister's bf, and NA at a water park. Woo hoo! I've got this horrible sunburn (uh, again) but oh well.

Sadly, my mom is still really upset with me. She came over yesterday to hang out even though I told her I was super busy. I decided to work as I talked to her. Oddly, she didn't really talk at all. Normally she doesn't let me get a word in. Then I went to bring a box down to the basement. When I came back up, she was standing there with her things and was like, "I think I'll go now..." and she looked SO upset. And then she said, "Don't worry, I'm ok," which means she wasn't. *sigh*

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 21 July 2003 13:02 (twenty-two years ago)

you know how sometimes you get this feeling in your gut - the one where you know it's not going to work out the way you want it to - and people keep telling you there's hope and that you shouldn't give up, so you don't, but you still can't shake that feeling but you try anyway and just when you've almost succeeded, it turns out you were right to begin with? that really fucking sucks.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 21:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yes. I forgot to mention how much I'm enjoying Dada's pics.

I am happy to see the This is the Thread... is still up and running.
It's hump day and less than 2 hours until my lunch break. The sun is starting to come back out. I've really enjoyed all the thunderstorming but I think I'm ready for a glimpse of sun anyway.

That sux about your AC, Sam! You are one hot Texan!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I've never heard the expression "hump day" before, and did actually go through in my head what it might mean (NA has promised hott sexx, everybody is pissed off, everybody is pretending to have a spinal deformity, etc.) before deciding that you mean it's the middle-of-the-week day. Am I on the right lines?

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:16 (twenty-two years ago)

You are correct sir! "Hump day" = over the hump = it's all downhill from here bub!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Your first guess was correct, sir. The line starts here.

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:17 (twenty-two years ago)

*queues up

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:22 (twenty-two years ago)

So, NA, are you queueing, or are you just standing at the top of the queue?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, we only have sex on Wednesdays. ha ha

― Sarah MCLusky (coco), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:37 (twenty-two years ago)

wait until your married you'll start saying "we only have sex in august".

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi Rodney Dangerfield!

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! (aug can be far too hot!)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:55 (twenty-two years ago)

no respect.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 14:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, winter sex is urgent + key. Though don't be impatient - you have to make sure under the duvet is warm enough so you can stop shivering before making whoopee (cushions).

And Sarah, sorry love, but I'm first in the queue for tonight. Perhaps NA will have a hole for you next week?

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

A hole?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna, Have you gotten the package I sent you?

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 18:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I've got a hole and Sarah's got a package...something's not right here.

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 18:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Something is very, very right.

How much do I love this guy? Nick, I kiss you.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 24 July 2003 06:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Pity party has mostly subsided - I guess maybe I don't need quite as much melodrama in my life as I used to.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 24 July 2003 07:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish I could flash forward to see how this plays out - if, in fact, it does.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 24 July 2003 07:05 (twenty-two years ago)

In my experience I've learned that letting things play out usually ends up with something totally played out.

Sometimes I wonder if both my brain-cells are in some kinda Final Grudge Match Showdown.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 24 July 2003 12:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick, I think you're right, but right now, I don't know what else to do.

Went to the doctor - he gave me good drugs and a shot in the ass - right now, I feel oooooooooooooooooooookayyyyyyyyyyyy. Have to go for an MRI though, to make sure it's not a disc problem *cue ominous music*

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:27 (twenty-two years ago)

"Doctor" sounds like it should be slang in that sentence ("... gave me good drugs and a shot in the ass...") Hope the MRI comes back .. uh, negative? ... positive .. whatever the thing is that means "you're okiedokie, you just need a Moxie."

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel so goofy right now, I would gladly drink a Moxie. Does that tell you anything?

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Who are you, Moon Woman, and what have you done with Aimee?

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll never tell...

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:37 (twenty-two years ago)

OH MY GOD BRITTANY MURPHY ATE HER. Get the jaws of life and some ipecac, stat!

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:38 (twenty-two years ago)

You just made me spit water at my monitor. Again.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Want some pie?

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Tep, the funk king of Bloomington.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Pie? Yes, please!

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:52 (twenty-two years ago)

That's not saying THAT much, this is the whitest place I've ever lived that had traffic lights.

(But we will accept our coronation all the same.)

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:53 (twenty-two years ago)

(Oh yes, and pie. I should make Moxie pie or something.)

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I admit that Moxie pie scares me just the tiniest bit.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna surely fears Moxie not.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:56 (twenty-two years ago)

(Total tangent: I had a weird twinge of something that felt like some sort of racism today when I walked past a couple of black students on campus and thought to myself "Oh, Christ yes, thank you for being black," or words to that effect, because this place is SO white, and New Orleans was SO not, and it had been weirding me out without my quite realizing it. I still can't decide what to think about that reaction.)

Moxie pie: the problem is I can't quite figure out how to do it without boiling the Moxie down, which is likely unwise. Maybe Moxie + unflavored gelatin, but that smacks of 50s New England housewives.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:58 (twenty-two years ago)

luna has a hang-up about Moxie the way Falwell had a hang-up about sex, i.e. secretly she dresses up as an Aztec sun-god and drinks it behind closed doors while smacking turtle shells against her back and shouting "wooyah!"

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 July 2003 01:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I want half the profits from the video.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 July 2003 02:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Can I just have the video?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 25 July 2003 02:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I was just wondering if she realized the admission inherent in the video mention...

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 July 2003 02:30 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a dirty job, but...

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 July 2003 02:36 (twenty-two years ago)

You have now admitted to regularly drinking Moxie, i.e. I WIN FOREVER.

GET IN ME!

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 July 2003 02:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Sure, but I get to dress in Aztec sun-god robes - how cool is that?

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 July 2003 02:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't hear you because I WIN I WIN I WIN.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 July 2003 02:46 (twenty-two years ago)

mini-wave and celebration to you. < /chandler>

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 July 2003 02:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Because I am in a good mood today and I don't want it spoiled!
I had iced coffee. I'm wearing my tennis shoes and jean skirt to work and one of my newer necklaces and my FAVE jacket (though, now I have 2 since I found my old one in the couch cushions...)

Well, if ILX is dieing, I insist that EVERYONE email me!!!

― Sarah MCLusky (coco), Friday, 25 July 2003 11:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I am so fucking trashed right now. I've had 6 beers, plus painkillers, and still drinking.

Why don't the painkillers kill the pain in my heart?

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 26 July 2003 07:35 (twenty-two years ago)

beer is my best friend.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 26 July 2003 07:52 (twenty-two years ago)

also, i'm considering dedicating my life to christ,, except those habits... yuk.

i'd make a terrible nun anyway.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 26 July 2003 07:54 (twenty-two years ago)

good morning melodrama!

I'm so retarded.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 26 July 2003 10:49 (twenty-two years ago)

sometimes I really worry that I'll become the crazy cat lady at the end of the block; that things will always be in the shambles they are now; that like Greg told me, no one reeally does get anything positive out of knowing me; and that I really don't have anything left to give...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 28 July 2003 06:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Greg can eat my hairy fuc

― oops (Oops), Monday, 28 July 2003 06:46 (twenty-two years ago)

jesus. . . i just made this huge beautiful post and it disaapperared, AOLIM CAN

EAT MY FUC

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 28 July 2003 07:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna, I can think of one person who has already got something very positive out of knowing you - you do realise how much you cheered me up after our conversation a couple of weeks ago? I was in my lowest mood in months, feeling very bad indeed and worrying about sliding into another genuinely dangerous bout of depression. You got me out of that, and there's been no substantial sign of it reappearing. This is a huge positive benefit for me. Whoever Greg is, he is just being nasty, and you should not take it as truth.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 28 July 2003 11:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, this Greg character is a dumbass.

I had a super fantastic weekend. Now I'm at work, but I think I'm doing a good job of being positive so far this morning, though it's true I haven't had to talk with my boss yet. In case I forgot to post it, last thing he said on Friday was that I BETTER get refreshed over the weekend. ha ha

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Monday, 28 July 2003 11:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Greg can be stuffed in a bag of public fuc out of which he can only eat his way out.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 28 July 2003 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

thanks y'all...

I'm a little on edge, a little worried that I'm going to lose it, a little worried that I'm not strong enough for the challenges I'm facing, but it's good to have you on my side. Much love to all of you.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 05:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Hope you can stay awake at work today, luna...
This morning was very relaxing. I lit a bunch of candles for my hot bath. The sound of the rain came in through the window. In the bedroom, I had a Helium cd on. The kitties came in and sat in the bathroom as I took my bath.
I am scared of shots.

That is all for now.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

i fell asleep on the toilet and just woke up 15 minutes ago. I've been at work since 6:15am. I went to relieve myself at 9. I passed out for 45 minutes. Got a message from my boss "wondering where you are?" I feel like calling him back and telling him I fell asleep while taking a dump, because he needs me here at 6am and all. f-him. I should take a dump on his desk.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Just don't fall asleep while you're doing it - you'll be caught red-handed.

Nah, I don't have the energy to hold you down and rope you right now. I'm sorta sleepy.

Oh no, luna! Don't sleep! you must play on my thread. Oh well. sweet dreaams.

School's about to start again and I think I'm okay with this. Other than crimson-blood-bath dreams which have directly preceeded my period I've been having pleasant dreams about school. This year will be okay. It must be.

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 06:06 (twenty-two years ago)

It's Wednesday. Tomorrow night I see Smog (and hstencil!) and the next night NA and I make our way to Philly. Tonight we recoup from last night. I dunno - maybe go see a movie or somethin'.

It's cozy at my desk. I feel like listening to more pretty music, but instead I'm listening to the overhead light and my computer buzzing.

― Sarah MCLusky (coco), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 12:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Goddamn, I look good today.*

*this is worthy of note because it happens rarely. My clothes are good, my makeup is good and my hair has been clubbed into submission. Yay me.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 16:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sleepy though - I was up until all hours finishing a paper I was supposed to have turned in yesterday, and slept in my friend's oh-so-comfortable-you-don't-have-to-get-up-yet-five-more-minutes bed. Is it wrong to have intense lust for a bed? 'Cause I do.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, I have a new crush. What is WRONG with me?

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I think maybe I'm just crazy.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

It's just a little crush...

Luna, maybe you should save up for a new bed for whereever it is you end up moving. I LOOOOOOOVVVVEEE my bed. In fact, if Nick ever calls it his bed I correct him straightaway.

I am going to take a late lunch today so when I get back there will be less desk time left. I'm eating a cup of soup as I work - pasta italiano!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah, it's nothing I would ever do anything about, you know? Just one of those 'hi, I think you're really interesting and fun and I like the way your mind works and under different circumstances, I would want to date you, or at least fuck you 'til neither of us could walk straight' kind of things.

I really loathe my job.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Last night me and my son fell asleep on the couch watching Castle in the Sky on DVD at like 10:15 pm. I was wore out exhausted from playing drums with my new other band for like 2 hours straight; and also cuz I hadn't slept more than 3-4 hours straight in like MONTHS. (I know sleeplessness is something Aimee can understand though!)
Sometimes you regret things you did in the past. Sometimes you regret things you DIDN'T do in the past. Other times you look back on your mistakes and realize that, if not for those "mistakes", some of the greatest parts of your life never would have come to be. Like Bob Ross (RIP) said, "We don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents".
Hippies are so much cooler than any ILXors give them credit for. At least, the hippies I know are. They're having a LOO-OW (that's phonetical duh, how's that word REALLY spelled!?!) at this nice hippy bar in town tonight; everyone's gotta wear hawaiian shirts or grass skirts or something, and they're gonna have Hawaiian guitar music!
I'm tired of crushes. I'm tired of really from-the-bottom-of-my-soul LIKING and feeling like I'm CONNECTING with ladies and them not really giving a turd's-worth for me. I think I'm gonna switch it up and go the shag-as-many-girls-as-I-can-ha-ha-I-WIN! way from now on.

Okay, that's a bald-faced lie, I couldn't be like that, although I really wish I COULD.

My new plan is to not have romantic relationships with anyone, but instead to have really great friends, at least one of whom will occasionally give it up. Well, ok, more than one. And more than occasionally.

Shit, I don't know.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Look dammit, I like that song, and had you been there, you would have understood.

There are times in life when repetitious singing of 'Into the Mystic' are urgent & key.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 18:07 (twenty-two years ago)

psst...i secretly liked it

Yeah I know. You better have - not everyone gets the VM treatment, yanno.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 19:01 (twenty-two years ago)

So yeah... it's been one of those days. Good, bad, ugly, gorgeous. I can't decide how I feel.

To the beach for cocktails! (Said in the manner you would say 'to the batcave!'... if, you know, you were the type of person to say that. Like Batman. Whatever).

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha! I really do say stuff like that! Like, even to my son who obviously has no idea what I'm talking about; "to the nap cave!" etc.
I also say "same bat time same bat channel all the time.

If not for pop culture references, I probably would never actually have anything to say.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 19:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm here and I'm out of pain pills... I'm sad because not only did they kill pain, they somehow made my day more bearable.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 31 July 2003 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

On the plus side, one of the idiot attorneys fucked up our network, so none of us can do any work - hooray!

I am moody and headachy and tired. It's not even like things are that bad lately, but they aren't so good either. I should just go back to the cat pic thread.

I am getting some Sopranos DVDs later today which I'm hoping will rectify this general gloom. I fucking love that show.

Ah, I've got them at Long's, too - just also have an idiot ex husband who hasn't repaid me the $100 I loaned him.

Craphead.

would they be cheap in mexico?

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 31 July 2003 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Well my friend Brenda and I are about ready for a trip if you want to go. We go on a weekday morning to avoid the crowds, and have a regular guy we go to.

― Orbit (Orbit), Thursday, 31 July 2003 16:53 (twenty-two years ago)

RE: Cheap? Depends what you are getting. If you want Vicodin or Percodan, you are better off getting them in the states. If you want Valium, about 33 cents a pill; Xanax about 50 cents a pill; Prozac $1/pill; Soma about 75 cents a pill; it varies by quantity.
Take existing prescription bottles to put them in.

― Orbit (Orbit), Thursday, 31 July 2003 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I could use a candydish of valium on my desk at work - I think it would make some of these asshats a lot more pleasant to be around.

The more I learn, the more there is left; the better I get, the more aware I am of how good I'm not; the more I do, the more remains to be done. If I let myself stop to think about it, I'd probably stop writing.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 1 August 2003 13:01 (twenty-two years ago)

After the horribleness of yesterday, today is actually a good day. Although James has still been made redundant & our future is still uncertain with regards to a new job for James & the house we were hoping to buy, today I feel quite positive. I am hoping & praying that James gets a job that he wants & everything falls into place.
This morning I opened a package from Sarah (thanks very muchly!) with a lovely little letter inside which cheered us both up. Tomorrow, against sensible money judgement, we are still going to London to meet up with fellow ILXers to drown our sorrows & have some fun!
Things could be alot worse for us, so all is not lost. Bring on the future I say!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 1 August 2003 13:15 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry you're feeling poorly Sarah btw.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 1 August 2003 13:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks, Pinkpanther. I hope you like the cds too!
I'm feeling much better, just a bit weak. Nick recommeded I pick up some instant oatmeal for breakfast, so that's just what I did. I also had some tea.
And I'm getting more and more excited about our weekend trip to Philly. (And hotels can be fun. I've packed my swimsuit so I can hit the hot tub too - ooh la la)

Aside from feeling ick last night, I had fun watching part of Dead Man and finishing my silly book, 'Shopaholic Ties the Knot.'

He's in the few prayers I say, sug. xxx

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 07:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Everything is good. Im a little worn out from having to deal with my sister and her annoying boyfriend all weekend. luckily they found an apt and move today. I honestly don't think her boyfriend stopped talking from Friday night until last night. Drives me nuts. Both of them. Plus my wife was gone all weekend so I had to put up with them by myself.
My dog is wonderful. He's a good boy and I love him.
My friend made me a best of Van Halen triple cd this weekend. Disc one and two are best of Dave, disc three Sammy. 46 songs total. It rocks.

Bryan, i really am wishing the best for you!

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 4 August 2003 10:57 (twenty-two years ago)

School will be better in a week, when I've done the two papers I didn't do this weekend cause of the computer :) It's nearly done, though, geez. Final papers due Friday, finals a week from Friday -- which means I'm only stuck taking the once-an-hour bus for a week while the girlfriend's visiting her family.

Nothing new, culinarinarinarily, but I made chicken pot pie on Saturday.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 4 August 2003 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Philly was so much fun. I really really liked it. There is so much neat architecture, and the city has so much character. What was completely NOT fun though was the drive home. Mapquest said it would take 4 hours 6 minutes to get us there. Instead, I'd say it took a little over 4 and a half hours. But the way home, it took us over six hours! Traffic was bumper to bumper all the way down 95 South. There was the usual congestion plus lots of construction. Fortunately for me, Nick drove through most of it, but it still sucked.
My boss called right after I walked in the door this morning. He said he'll be in really soon, and that we got a new listing. The good part is that he wants me to go out with him to the property to take measurements and stuff and it's amazing how much time that can take. :)

I think I overcreamed my coffee...

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Monday, 4 August 2003 11:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Did you have a cheesesteak, Sarah? (Okay, cliche question, but even so.)

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 4 August 2003 11:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually no, Tep, because I'm vegetarian. I know, What a Shame. But I did have some excellent Egyptian food. Plus, H. suggested an awesome place for Sunday brunch called The Astral Plane that Nick and I both loved. I had a to-die-for almond croissant, potatoes, Nick's fruit, and the best coffee ever. The place is eclectic - walls are covered in old actors' photos and palm trees. There's a huge old hutch against one wall, and there's even a chandelier in the bathroom. Nick sat in a big queen-like wicker chair.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Monday, 4 August 2003 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

The Astral Plane = da bomb.

― NA (Nick A.), Monday, 4 August 2003 11:59 (twenty-two years ago)

The weekend that was = killer diller. Friday, my band played, I was drunk as piss (first time I've ever played out in such a state, truly) and climbing on speakers and swinging from rafters and stuff, we all had a hella good time, people were dancing, the owners kept us there well after close by force-feeding us drink after drink (meanwhile our drummer the DD was doing s'um we shall leave to your imagination with a lovely li'l lovely out in the van!!!). Woah.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 4 August 2003 13:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Good morning all...
More prayers coming for you, Bryan. Thanks for keeping us updated...we're all rooting for you.
(Luna in going-to-sleep shockah!)
I am eating leftover spanakopita for breakfast. Because nobody's around, and because I can. And it's damn good stuff, though I would have probably used less dill had I made it.
Last night I had the quintessential summer dinner--grilled bratwurst and for dessert, fruit salad with various melons and pineapple and berries...mmm.
I'm just feeling kinda hopeful and generally-happyish lately.
I caught up with some friends this weekend. And a friend of mine that I haven't seen for a while is coming over to watch movies tomorrow, and I love spending time with her--we always have each other in hysterics. Good friends rock.

Rah for Van Halen and Philly and crazy drunken gigs!

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 4 August 2003 14:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I had grilled bratwursts last night too! It was a what I called a "Cookout With a Vengeance" actually, cuz my son's momma was having a cookout at her house and my her sister & her sister's fiance and my son were all there and she invited over a bunch of people but NOT ME, and I couldn't get anyone else to come over to my crib, so I just grilled brats and veggie kebabs and listened to Talib Kweli and The Sea and Cake and drank beer and soaked up the sun and somehow managed to get over it and still have a good really time all by my lonesome.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 4 August 2003 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Shoulda called me sug, I'd have come!

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Beer, grilled brats, veggie kebabs, good music? Your cookout was better than theirs anyway.

Sarah - happy to hear you liked Philly - sorry about the traffic jam - feels like I spent most of the weekend in traffic. Ugh.
Jules - I'm happy to hear things are goin' well - keep it up, sistah. (And um, can I have a bite of spanikopita? That sounds like the perfect breakfast food to me right now).
Nick - really, I'd have come!
Tep - once an hour bus? Better you than me, bebe.
Zan - this makes me happy, too.

Me, I'm tired, but I did sleep a couple hours, I got fun new cds to listen to in the weekend's mail at work, and um... hmm. Further bulletins as events warrant.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 15:16 (twenty-two years ago)

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 4 August 2003 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I've been spending time with someone these past few days who can't be mine. And my heart is already breaking in two. The past few days/night have been wonderful and horrible too because they will be the death of me.

This is the last week before I go back to school and the last week before this person goes back to the one he belongs too. It feels like it might be the last week of my life.

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 4 August 2003 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Wish I could, but I'm gonna be stuck at work for the rest of my life.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 17:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh Sam, my heart is breaking for you... I'm here, chica. I can't do much, but I'm here.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Well Luna, if they will let you out for lunch, I'll drive.

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 4 August 2003 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

*good thoughts for all* And yes, Luna, escape for lunch and let Orbit drive you to goodness! She knows her food.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 4 August 2003 17:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't leave work. I'll be here late tonight, actually - too much to do, and that week off work really fucked with me because apparently no one else in the office knows how to do anything.

If I left right now, I don't know that I could bring myself to come back.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 4 August 2003 17:53 (twenty-two years ago)

My friend from high school is on the phone with me now - Shane - he fucking drinks Moxie.
He also called me a dink.

Hello, 1987.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 02:23 (twenty-two years ago)

seriously, I'm dying laughing - who says 'dink' anymore? Was this just an east coast thing?

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 02:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Dinks on the march!

http://tomsquotes.amhosting.net/movies/space/dink.jpg

Dink!

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 02:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Dink dink dink dink dink.

"Dink" is definitely very northeast 1987, I just don't know if it's exclusively northeast and don't remember if it's especially 1987. I'll call my brother a dink the next time I talk to him, he still lives in Puritanica too.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 03:14 (twenty-two years ago)

tell me it cracked you up...

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 03:24 (twenty-two years ago)

We call each other dinks here all the time. I call my brother a dink pretty much everytime I talk to him.

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 03:31 (twenty-two years ago)

He usually sticks with asshole when talking to me.

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 03:39 (twenty-two years ago)

So yeah... I'm home, I'm drinkin' beer and I'm bored. Y'all with me?

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 04:48 (twenty-two years ago)

It's Nick's fault if I become an alcoholic, because Sunday afternoon he was all like, "Sarah, you seem tense - you need a gin and tonic to help you relax..."
Right now I'm drinking coffee though. And, by the way, the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Slim Fast Bar tastes NOTHING like Chocolate chip cookie dough.
I'm wearing a black shirt today which means I'm wearing a fur shirt, because no matter how much I use the lint roller I still find kitty hair all over myself.

My mom's still mad at me. I should give her a call soon.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 11:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I am an empty shell now. I didn't even know my soul and my life were empty until I got a glimpse of how it felt to be filled. Now I am desolate with the knowledge of how things could be and the reality of how they really are. Which is worse? The knowledge and reality or the blissful ignorance?

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 14:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Aww Sam. hugs

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Blissful ignorance surely does hurt less, but I'd take the knowledge & the reality anyday.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 14:22 (twenty-two years ago)

They both suck. There was a guy I knew who I adored--the attraction was mutual but we never acted on it (he was married). In the end, I had to let him go and I'll never see him again. It hurt like hell. It still hurts, though a good bit of time has passed. I miss him so much sometimes.
But knowing him was worth the pain.

So sorry, Sam. That really really really sucks.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 14:51 (twenty-two years ago)

The knowledge is way worse. WAY worse.
Don't ask me how I know.

Love to you right now, darlin - I'm here if you need me.

My friend has a band called 'Hey Look! Lettuce!'

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Oddly, I don't think it's original.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

That sounds like the name of a SKA band.

Also, 'Well, hello Officer Build A Pussy' is my favorite phrase of the day so far.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

with a head like a vulture...and heart full of hornets...he drives off the cliff....

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:11 (twenty-two years ago)

But when will you get to use that phrase ever, luna?

Wait. Forget I asked.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)

All the time, in my head.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh to be a fly on the wall of your brain.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

It's not my brain that has wal.. nevermind.

Whatever could you mean?
*polishes halo*

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Gimme back my halo, slim. I polish my own, thanks.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Think you could polish mine too?
Oh, we're talking about halos. Nevermind.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Why do I get the feeling you don't need help? Anyway, no.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

That's funny. Everyone always tells me I need help.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, but they mean psychiatric.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Duh.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh shut up.

― Captain Obvious (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

You're getting your halo taken away for that.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Thankfully, you have nothing to do with my halo, and I'll thank you to not even think about it.

So um.. don't think about it.

Thank you.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:57 (twenty-two years ago)

You have sullied the image of all halo-wearers. For that you shall pay.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 22:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, get back in your cage.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 23:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Shows what you know. I've got internet access from my cage. Can you change my chamber pot please? Danke.

Looks like I'm not the only one who needs help.
Join me...oh the pretty colors you'll see.

Goodnight, Gracie.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 23:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Say goodnight Gracie

(d'oh! see, I told you we needed to rehearse! but no, you were too busy searching for plastic purple pleasure penises)

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 August 2003 23:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Nope, I know just where it is.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 07:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Dare I ask?

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 07:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Bedside table, duh.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 07:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Wrong answer.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 07:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Correct answer. If I were wanking now, it would just be sad.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 07:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Girls can't say they wank. That's our term, man. Stay away.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 07:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry, no.

Though if you prefer, I will switch to the default 'rub one out.'

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 07:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't do me any favors.
Wait, forget I said that.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 07:41 (twenty-two years ago)

No fear.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 07:49 (twenty-two years ago)

My friends, you're forgetting the italics. How could you?!
I am mostly alone in the office this morning. I can hear someone everyone once in a while, but they must be in one of the back rooms.

It turns out my mom is mostly worried about me moving away and having her grandbabies far from her reach. I told her I'm not planning on having babies any time soon. So we're ok now I think. And she came over to our apartment for a minute yesterday after work and gave Nick a cd rack she bought from someone who was moving. It's a pretty nice used Ikea rack. So maybe we won't have as many cds on the floor for a couple of weeks.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 12:01 (twenty-two years ago)

My illicit boy just left for work. I can still smell him on my skin. I shall put off showering for as long as possible.

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't figure out how to say how nice that sounds, Sam, without sounding sarcastic. But anyway, I know what you mean.
In other news, I am thinking about having a cookout for my birthday this year (sep. 6th). It actually falls on a Saturday! I wonder if everyone would be offended if we only made veggie burgers as long as we had lots of other food there too (like watermelon and watergate salad, yum). And I wonder if it's a sign that I'm getting older that I get excited by picnic foods.

I'm about to go out to a property to deliver some Fact Sheets. I plan to listen to lots of good music on my 45 minute trip out there. Sometimes, this job isn't so bad.

if your having a cookout you must have meat for the people who eat it.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

B-but it's my birthday! Can't they eat fruit and chips and cake? Maybe I could get a meat-eating friend to grill the real burgers. Either way, I'm going to need to borrow a grill. Ours is teeny tiny.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 12:56 (twenty-two years ago)

A cookout is not a cookout without MEAT. This is some sort of hippy gathering.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 12:59 (twenty-two years ago)

It's Sarah's birthday/cookout, if she wants to have veggie food then she can have it! I mean, her b/day, her cookout, her perogative, her vagina! (please someone get the Kelly Osbourne reference there!! *sigh*)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 13:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes Sarah can have whatever she wants at her cookout. She doesn't need to provide meat if she herself doesn't eat it.

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 13:06 (twenty-two years ago)

vegists!

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

It can be a Bring Your Own Meat party. Interpret that as you like...

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 14:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Except that didn't make sense, but whatever.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 14:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Sarah, it's your party and you can be veggie if you want to.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 16:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks, luna.

Never mind what I said before about my job. I'm annoyed with my boss again. I know - surprise, surprise. I was about to walk out the door for lunch and he gave me a million things that must be done ASAP! And as I started working on them, he left, came back and gave me more, left again, and then called with something on top of all that.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 6 August 2003 16:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I vote that he needs a kick in the crotch with steel-toed boots, and I'm just the girl to do it!

Lemme just find some boots.

you're right, of course, and I didn't wish for it - I'm just at the end of my rope and am having a little trouble hanging on.

what else is new?

no, actually, you don't

I could tell the world to fuck off, but I'd only be fucking myself there, wouldn't I?

Hmm. Maybe THIS post should be on that other thread.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 7 August 2003 08:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, it's 20 to 3 and I'm at work. I went out with my friend tonight and went to a movie that didn't end until 1 - forgot that I'd promised my boss I'd come by and look something up for her. *yawn*

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 7 August 2003 08:42 (twenty-two years ago)

At least you're back from work now, hon. Sweet oblivion awaits?

I'm sorry I've been away from this thread for so long. I was at the halo polishers.

Sux0r. When I need sleep I think of things and people who make me happy. Often I imagine myself playing football for Italy. have you ever tried this? I promise you it works.

― Mark C (Mark C), Thursday, 7 August 2003 09:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Last night I got very relaxed right before bedtime. NA and I had been reading and we turned off the lights and lit candles and I just watched them flickering. But then at some point I decided I needed to blow them out. I waved my hand above them (or so I thought) to blow them out that way, but of course instead I smacked them down on the floor. I didn't cause any fires, but I did get wax EVERYWHERE. That part was NOT relaxing, but I was already too sleepy to care that much.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 7 August 2003 11:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm back, and I'm BETTER THAN EVAH!

Yeah, okay, that didn't work.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 7 August 2003 15:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Earlier, I wanted to quit my job. I realize that's not that unusual, but you see yesterday was just fine. I didn't get upset with my boss once I don't think. And then he gave me tickets to a food show (ie: free food at the fairgrounds). But this afternoon when I got back from lunch, he was angry and lectured me for a really long time. I deserve a bonus, not a lecture!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 7 August 2003 18:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Give me his number.

Thank you. There's nothing quite like a loving bunch of ILXors standing by your side with baseball bats and (pick yer weapons). :-)

I'm currently frustrated because I was supposed to spend time with my mom and sisters this weekend and it looks like it's totally falling through. My youngest sis is off to Paris again Sunday for another 3 weeks. I'm really feeling for her. She's gained over 100 pounds in 4 months (she's the one that had/has an eating disorder). I'm worried about her seeing her fiancee again in her new body. I know she is too. And I worry that he never told his family about the engagement.

Anyway, I worry too much. I'll shut up now.

― Sarah Mclusky (coco), Thursday, 7 August 2003 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I just went up to the front desk and the receptionist looked liked she'd been crying. She was really upset. I asked her what was up. It turns out some of the agents are treating her like an assistant and she's getting shit from her boss just because he's in a bad mood. That sounds familiar. But anyway, I'm glad she felt like she could complain to me because I've done my share of whinin'.

WTF? I was woken this morning by a fuckin' telemarketing machine from ... West Virginia Tourism! There are so many things wrong with this.
I just ordered some cool body waxing candles and am now looking for some henna art kits.
One of the pooches swallowed a frog and then regurgitated it.
I really need to fix the vacuum.
D. looks oddly sexy, mowing the lawn in his 'too big for him' shorts and that damn farmer's hat.
Lust is a magical thing.
I wonder if that person that I am falling in like with is awake and thinking of me.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 11 August 2003 08:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey Luna, ditto. I'm breaking the italics convention for a moment as I find it slightly harder to read. See, selfish. I said on anoither thread an hour ago that I was about to start looking for work, but whaddaya know, I haven't. Yet. I'm going to work on a "looking for work schedule", made with bright felt tips, so that tomorrow I can actually get a job. Maybe.

I also weighed myself this morning. Groo. On the plus side, it did my height as well, and I seem to have grown!

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 11 August 2003 09:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh my god. 11 am is when the Nepalese restaurant next door starts preparing the food ffor the day. The wind is unusually blowing from there to here, so as I sit in my bedroom with the windows wide open the smell of almost-charred garlic is making me drool and lust.

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 11 August 2003 09:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I had a fabulous weekend.

Now, I'm at my desk, freshly breakfasted, slowly thinking about maybe starting to work. In the meantime, I'm skimming this stupid local magazine we all got. There's an Andy Rooney article in it called, "Is it music or noise?" I know this may come as a surprise to you, but I think he's going with NOISE. His last sentence reads, "I do know one thing. Next year, when the Grammys are on television, for entertainment I'll just have a toothache and go to bed early." ha ha!

Also, there is an article on how to decide if you should leave your job. The major signs that they list are that your friends are upset to hear you complaining all the time and your job makes you physically ill. That's me! whoo hoo!

OH my god. There's a cooking article in here entitled, 'Rubbing Pork Ribs the Right Way.' HA!

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Monday, 11 August 2003 11:50 (twenty-two years ago)

So yeah, 'California Stars' is the first song I've heard this morning - I love it, and so am happy.
I did sleep a little, but got up at the butt-crack of dawn to go to the gym for a spinning class - someone remind me to stop doing that as really, it just makes me tired. Okay, it doesn't, but I HATE the thought of organized exercise.

Ribs sound really good to me right now - oooh, no a chili cheeseburger from Tommy's... man. Cheeseburgers are my favorite breakfast food - is that so wrong?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 August 2003 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Goddamn I wish I had some ground beef. What the hell was I thinking? Cheeseburgers for breakfast are not wrong. You got your dairy group, you got your protein group, you got your carb group, you got your ketchup group, it's all good.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 15:24 (twenty-two years ago)

my mom teaches spin. therefore, it may well be evil. really, i'm just mad at her for being a bitch to me in a dream i had last night though.

a cheeseburger for breakfast sounds great.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 11 August 2003 15:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I used to have hamburgers every morning for breakfast because I'd been sent home from school for passing out since I wouldn't eat the cafeteria food and didn't like much in the way of stuff I could bring from home. So my mother would make me a burger, five mornings a week.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 15:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Tep, I kiss you. You too, Jules. Hell, I kiss everyone this morning. I'm in a kissing mood.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 August 2003 15:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I was wondering what one does in a SPINNING class. Maybe you guys/dudes can let me in on the secret? The name makes me feel a bit nauseous.

Dude, the eyes would roll right off. Put em on a hot dog instead, and you can make lots of "dude, get your eyes off my wiener!" jokes.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 15:52 (twenty-two years ago)

The bad thing is, now I'm thinking about deep-frying eyes and there's a part of me that's all "wow, that might be mmmmmmm" and there's another part that's all like "um NO of course" and then there's another part of me that's like "fire it up mang!" but I manage to ignore that guy about 90% of the time.

"then there's another part of me that's like "fire it up mang!" but I manage to ignore that guy about 90% of the time."

(Hard to figure out how to quote when we're already italicized.) That guy would be ME.

Eyes are presumably ... you know ... soft on the inside, right? *poke poke* Mine sure as hell feels it. So if it stays that way when cooked, deep-fried eyes would be like deep-fried cheese sticks, only without the stretchiness!

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, well, of course!

The dumb thing is I actually poked my eye there. Why did I need to test that?

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Clearly to compare it to mozzarella cheese - something I doubt - I hope - you haven't done before. It was in the name of SCIENCE.

Holy crap, Devon from Knight Rider is on Battlestar Galactica, and I'm drinking Pepsi Vanilla. My inner child just had his first orgasm.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I still need to see a cooked eyeball to compare. Do those ojos tacos really have eyeballs, or is it something lame like ... I don't know, hard boiled eggs, or grapes, or ... well, it wouldn't be a grape taco, but you know. Surrogate eyeballs.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Real eyeballs. If you are ever in LA, I'll take you and you can sample them to your heart's content. Also, if you eat one, I'll pay you $23.75.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

and if you spilled the contents of your taco, would they bounce?

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Cow eyeballs? I assume not pig eyeballs. Chicken eyeballs? Are they fried, boiled, broiled, chopped, or what? I am so in.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Cow or sheep, I think. And boiled? I don't know - never got close enough to ask.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, sheep. Yeah, okay, I remember now.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

MY EYES! THE BATTER DOES NOTHING!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

... in the "I am familiar with the fact that people consume the eyes of sheep" sense, not the "Oh, apparently I'd entirely forgotten about going to LA and eating sheep eye tacos, presumably it just faded into the blur of my whirlwind cross-country sensory-organs buffet" sense.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick, get the batter out of your damn eyes!

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

The problem now is that I'm really hungry, but the thought of food is just making me want to hurl. Somehow, I think I brought part of this on myself.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Have a Pepsi Vanilla.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Instead I'm drinking a coke.

Pepsi Vanilla - I dunno.. pepsi is sweet enough as it is, and adding vanilla? I guess I should try it, you were right about Pepsi Blue...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Do you not yet realize that I am right about all carbonated beverages?

Pepsi Vanilla is ... well, it's a LOT closer to Vanilla Coke than Pepsi is to Coke, maybe because Vanilla Coke is so non-Coke-like. I have not yet had enough of it to articulate the difference; VCoke has a non-cola aftertaste, while the VPepsi aftertaste is definitely a cola one. Vanilla Pepsi seems to have more of a ... rm. The vanilla flavor is more Nilla wafer-like than in Vanilla Coke. Kinda. Sorta. Little bit.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

So when on God's Green Earth are they gonna start making Pepsi CAPTAIN MORGAN or Coke MAKER'S, just already in the can like that!?!?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Like, so I could be drinking one RIGHT HERE AT MY DESK MUAHAHAHA!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Pineapple Coke. Chocolate Sprite. Mountain Dew BEEF. Curry Coke. Hey that one actually doesn't sound too bad.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:29 (twenty-two years ago)

They make that Jack Daniel's Jack-and-cola in the cans, I wonder if Coca Cola and PepsiCo are worried about sullying their G-rated handjob images with explicit association with alcohol? Except the classic example of Coca Cola explaining why they bother with marketing is: "Ever hear of anyone ordering a rum and Pepsi?"

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

"I need a little more of the love" --> "A little vomit just came up" --> nick is not invited to any of my orgies.
Chocolate Sprite is really -- well, look, since you're adding chocolate syrup to Sprite, instead of manufacturing a Chocolate-Sprite syrup that would have everything equaled out, it's basically a chocolate soda. You don't much taste the Sprite part.
I'm not a specific fan of it, but ....

Luna, much love, you can have one of my Pepsi Vanillas.

Best of all possible syrup-fountain-soda combinations isn't to be had at Sonic, but Steak and Shake: Vanilla Cherry Mr Pibb, if you get them to use only half as much vanilla and cherry so you're not doubling the syrup.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Now I want one. Hell, I'd settle for a Steak and Shake. Or a Chik-Fil-A that was closer. Or a Whattaburger. Dammit, I need a Waffle House, stat!

Waffle House? ... you're craving Waffle House?
...

I can't really do Chik-Fil-A since it was my lunch every day of undergrad after the Taco Bell was replaced with a Crap-on-a-plate. Grilled chicken sandwich + Tabasco sauce + Dr Pepper x 4 days a week.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I have the Chris V Captain Morgan Problem with Vietnamese pork buns, which actually doesn't come up very often. So to speak.

(If you're eating a pork bun and think to yourself, "Hmm, this tastes fairly ... cold and raw in the center ..." DON'T LOOK IN THE BUN. Just put it down, gargle some peroxide and Pepto, and pretend it didn't happen, like that time at piano camp when the clown puppet got wet.

Um.. thanks Nick. I think. Hell, I guess I can't be too picky, huh?

I know, Waffle House, can you believe that? I think it's just because there isn't one here. Not really that I want to go, I just want to know I COULD if I wanted to. Like if I were really drunk and needed to puke or something, you know? Kinda like how you might miss ... hmm ... Don King (which I initially mistyped as 'Dong King' - god help me) if he weren't around and you wanted some insane man with sticky uppy hair to promote your next fight, you know? It's just nice to know it's there.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Slim, get thee to a Steak-n-Shakery, pronto! They're very good. You can do it at home with a can of Mr Pibb and some vanilla Torani syrup, but it's easy to make it too sweet.

I think I have only been to a Waffle House once, to be fair, with my ex who was lactose-intolerant as well as insanely sensitive to grease (mind you, that's handy in New Orleans). But even so. Waffle House.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I go to Steak-n-Shake occasionally but I've never seen Vanilla Pibb on the menu. If it involves employees mixing anything that doesn't come pre-mixed, I don't they can handle it

― oops (Oops), Monday, 11 August 2003 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, see, yeah, it's not pre-mixed, but they have both cherry and vanilla syrups which I think are configured so it's just one-pump-per-serving -- they should be able to hook you up.

I have decided that tonight I am making Mr Pibb chicken.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

That sounds great! Once at the restaurant I used to work at we served heart-shaped raviolis stuffed with root beer-marinated rabbit (on Valentine's Day...aw and I got to cook it for my parents while they were on a date aaaaww), and ever since then I've been a big fan of soda-based-marinades.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 11 August 2003 18:24 (twenty-two years ago)

They work really well, especially if you do something bbq-oriented ... I'm thinking of taking the thighs I've got thawed, roasting them with some hot sauce and salt and a little Pibb, and then making a sauce with the rest of the Pibb and mustard. We shall see.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 18:33 (twenty-two years ago)

On a somewhat related note, I like spaghetti sauce with wine in it.
I was unable to connect to the internet for about 30 minutes and I almost started to panic.

I don't know what I'm doing tonight. My silly bandmates need to email me back about practice.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 11 August 2003 19:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I just got this forward from my Grandmother about spiders killing people. It ends with:
"So please, before you use a public toilet, lift the seat to check for spiders. It can save your life!
And please pass this on to everyone you care about," and a pic of a HUGE spider. ick.

Luna, why oh why did you have to bring up the snakes in the toilet thing?

When I was little, we had some sort of neighborhood crisis because all these weird little baby snake-like things started showing up in our water. yikes!

Well, I haven't heard back from anyone so I have no clue what's going on tonight.

And why the hell don't I have ANY chocolate in arms' reach from my desk??

Was it made out of Cheerios and pee?

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 19:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Um.. I um.. meant the snakes that uh... come out of those peanut cans. Yep. Open the toilet lid and POW!!! they spring out and scare me half to death *yaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!* Yeah. Those snakes. Uh huh.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 August 2003 19:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, Cheerios and pee. And the Cheerios were soggy! Plus, there was no cheese, and a human head on the bun, which wasn't even a bun, but a splintery plank of wood. Not even real wood. Particleboard.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 August 2003 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, see, it wasn't a cheeseburger at all, then, and hence not a bad cheeseburger. The universe continues to follow The Maxim of Tep: "the only bad cheeseburger is a bowl of pee."

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 11 August 2003 19:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh. Well then, it was quite good.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 11 August 2003 19:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh I suppose you're too good for particleboard. Elitist.

Does Pibb-marinated chicken taste like Pibb still? I am intrigued by your ideas, Tap.

Capn Jack Sparrow's Famous Mr Pibb Sauce:
1 can Mr Pibb
1 tablespoon brown mustard for a distinctly mustardy sauce; less for a less mustardy sauce; etc.
generous couple three dashes Tabasco Chipotle sauce
1 slightly stingier dash red wine vinegar
Reduce Mr Pibb quite a lot, until it's about as thick as warm honey.
Now, see, what you did there was stomp on the can. This time, open the can, pour the Mr Pibb into a pan, and commence reduction.
Basically, reduce it as long as you like, being careful not to reduce it so much it's burnt. It keeps most of the Mr Pibb taste, but becomes much sweeter, so that the sugar-to-taste proportion is a bit wonk. Let cool. Add mustard, vinegar, and hot sauce. Pour over chicken near the end of cooking, as a saucy wenchy glazey thing. (I have not yet added it to the chicken, which is baking with caramelized onions stuffed under the skin.)

But, more interestingly, I am pretty sure the Mr Pibb reduction could be used as a substitute for caramel sauce in Thai recipes.

"Requisitioned the rooster," if you know what I mean.

You really didn't miss so much at all, sug. I've got the pirate ship now, though, so if you want to sign on and be one of my crew, you have only to say the word. Word, yarr.

I'm sleepy. *SURPRISE*

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 15:04 (twenty-two years ago)

WORD!

My boss hasn't come in today either, so why am I not having much fun?

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 15:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Because you're at work.

I'm not having fun, either.

Received today in the mail, a coupon for a "New Orleans pizza" from local pizza place:
"Creamy Alfredo sauce, Mozzarella cheese, cajun shrimp, Andouille sausage, and fire-roasted red peppers, topped with fresh green onion after baking."

Naturally, that describes exactly zero pizzas I've ever heard of, much less in New Orleans (we do put shrimp on pizza sometimes, but not with Alfredo sauce; if there's anything other than standard tomato sauce, it's Cajun tomato sauce; Cajun and Creole cooking does not generally combine dairy sauces with seafood to begin with ... much less on PIZZA.)

Rule #1 of living in a college town: if you have any decency, TIP YOUR DELIVERY PERSON WELL. (And fuck you, Mr Pink.) You have to tip well because no one else will. I tipped a little more than usual today just cause it feels petty asking for a buck back if all I have is fives and tens, and the guy looked so damn shocked that I felt bad, figuring everyone else tips a frickin quarter or something.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 19:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, I'm out of my actual caffeine-and-then-some pills, so I'm using this pansyass "naturopathic energy factors" motherfuckers, and I'm not sure they're working. For one thing, they're vegetarian, and when was the last time you saw a plant and thought, "Damn, that fucker is really awake"? Half-past never-ever, that's when.

For another, they say "take as desired," and if there's two things Stephen King's taught me, it's that if it doesn't warn you not to take too much, it doesn't do half a bag of fuck-all.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 19:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Er, "if there's two things Stephen King's taught me, one of them is that ..." etc.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I told you the fuckers weren't working.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Tep, where were you when I was college-delivery-guy-who-gets-tipped-a-quarter-if-at-all?

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 20:05 (twenty-two years ago)

See, that's exactly what I do it, cause I'm like the only guy I know who hasn't done delivery -- and all the girls I know waited tables at places like Denny's on the night shift, which is just as bad for tipping. So those are the places I tip the most, cause those are the people who need it.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 20:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I figure the server/delivery guy is gonna appreciate that extra dollar more than I'll miss it, yanno?

Wait sorry: Delivery PERSON. Don't want O*bit jumping down my throat. Ew. Definitely not.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 20:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I almost said delivery man myself, cause that's still accurate-by-fiat in so many places, but what the hell. I'm pretty sure if a woman delivered my pizza I would be so thrown by the unusualness of the occasion that I would assume I was in porn.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 20:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, especially if her face is in soft focus with bad lighting and you're neighbor is playing a wah-wah guitar rhythm.

And I mean, I live across the street from a strip club AND a liquor store.

luna, I only tip stripping pizza women the standard fifteen.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 21:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I think stripping pizza women would be a bad idea - would take too long in between deliveries.

You know, I'm not even getting any strippers at the bachelor party in November, cause I'm part of the bridal party. I could get a facial, but the wrong kind, so what the fuck. I'm gonna get beignets and walk around instead.

I've come closer to dating strippers than I have to seeing them at work, for heaven's sake.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)

(Point being, the music would be cued and I'd have no idea what to do so I'd be like "thanks, here's a twenty, nice tassels, see you next time.")

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 21:19 (twenty-two years ago)

If you're GETTING a facial, wouldn't the "wrong kind" be the right kind?

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 21:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh dear. Damn verbs. Yes, okay, the right wrong kind. The ... the avocado kind, not the onion soup kind.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 21:24 (twenty-two years ago)

If I keep reading ILE, eventually every food will have perverse connotations.

When you do, come back and re-read this thread and tell me what avocado means in hawtt cuisine.

We've neglected our italics, fellow travellers.
We should just say things about food and then check back in a year -- which in ILE dirtytime is a week, I think -- to see what I means.
Coq au vin, rump roast, pigs in a blanket.

If my theory is correct, that's gonna look dirty around Tuesday.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

It looks dirty now.

It must be Tuesday!

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 21:52 (twenty-two years ago)

...tipping a stripper $15 didn't seem unreasonable to me...

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 21:53 (twenty-two years ago)

As if "guac" didn't sound like a filthy word already. And now I'm realizing it rhymes with cock. Well there goes another perfectly good food. Thankyouverymuch, ILE.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 21:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, but she was only acting as a delivery girl in that scenario! I don't know. How much do you (the impersonal you, if you'd rather) tip strippers? They're always using singles on television.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 21:56 (twenty-two years ago)

New favorite expression of dismay:

OH COCKAMOLE!

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 21:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't remember ever tipping a stripper in a club (I usually wasn't paying enough attention to where I felt it was warranted), but if a stripper were to bring me a fresh hot pizza pie (and then shink her wallies for me), $15 sounds right!

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 21:59 (twenty-two years ago)

guac-cock guac-cock guac-cock guac-cock guac-cock guac-cock guac-cock

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Shink!
Okay, especially if she said that, $15 would probably be reasonable. But where does one draw that line? If I didn't actually order wallies, should I tip anyway? What if it turns out she was just too shy to say hi and was trying to "get to know me better" and now she's insulted because a) she thinks I think she's a whore and b) she thinks I think she's a really CHEAP whore?

This is why I didn't date much in high school.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 22:05 (twenty-two years ago)

It could be a hassle if the stripping pizza joint was the only one in town. Cause sometimes you just want the pie, you know? I mean the PIZZA pie. And then this women starts disrobing and you're just like "that's great baby *yawn*. Here's a ten-spot...now amscray"

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 22:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, but the next day with the guys you'd have to be all, "Oh yeah, I ordered me some pie last night, if you know what I mean, with EXTRA SAUSAGE, BABY!"

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 22:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Ew. No transexual stripping delivery persons for me.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 22:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, but I meant -- see, that's not where the sausage --

crap, this is the facial thing all over again.

Hey, Tep, it occurs to me to ask: what's the second thing you learned from Stephen King?

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 14 August 2003 02:16 (twenty-two years ago)

"Sometimes good pizza smells like an armpit."

Words to live by. Words to ponder. Words of truth, friends.

But does it smell like an armpit?

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 14 August 2003 03:14 (twenty-two years ago)

It kinda does, yeah. At least, I know the kind of pizza he's talking about perfectly, and this is very similar ro that.

(This is the Pizza Magia I've been raving about, and when the chain goes national everyone will dance the dance of ... being ... glad ... about it ... Anyway, they're very northeast-like, especially north-of-Boston-Greek-owned-pizzeria-like.)

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 14 August 2003 03:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I read that as 'Pizza Magina' and thought oh I bet Dan could make something of that.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 14 August 2003 03:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Then realized it had a double bonus - not only could I force YOU to make a joke out of it, but it would probably put you off that, too.

Well, no...

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 14 August 2003 03:59 (twenty-two years ago)

How did I lose this thread? Weird.
Pizza Magina! No. But luna, you should try this place if you like pizza, and remember northeastern pizza fondly, if they ever go national. (Oops, aren't you in Chicago? I think they have them there.)

This is the thread where I say: my mother has gotten ten people in her office/neighborhood to buy copies of my book (this is likely not difficult, she's the town tax collector). It's like being a Girl Scout ~~all over again~~ for the first time ever.

Must. Have. Pizza.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 15 August 2003 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Do they even have pizza out there? I mean, you know, actual pizza. Not fish taco pizza. Or avocado kiwi pizza with creme fraiche and squid ink reduction. PIZZA pizza.

Please say yes, or I will feel incredibly bad for you and probably make the well-meaning error of mailing you one of my last pieces of pepperoni.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 15 August 2003 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Umm... well... it's just that... no.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 15 August 2003 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I am royally ticked at myself and the world at large ... can't tell if it's one of those hormonal=psychotic evenings, or if the world really does suck and is out to get me this evening. Or maybe I am just imagining it all.
And this person that I am pretty crazy about hasn't been around to talk some sense into me (though normally I can talk sense into myself on my own, thank you very much) and I don't know where this person is or what they are doing and I am feeling alone and abandoned and really groggy because the pain pills are wearing off and I am still droopy on the right side of my face (drooling, too) and the ENT guy said that might last for 24-hours or so, since they gave me such a large dose and my nose keeps bleeding and I can't feel it, so I have to just keep this tissue shoved-up my right nostril and the doctor says that my blood isn't clotting right again and that isn't good either. And my Glenn is curled-up in his bed with the heating pad on his neck and my David is at his house watching a movie and my rat tried to bite me earlier and my dogs are being paranoid because of all of the thunder and my tortoise doesn't want to be cuddled.
AND I really want some bittersweet chocolate, but I've almost no sense of taste or smell and so basically the whole thrill of eating right now comes from different textures ... and, scarily enough, I am discovering that some foods I really like the taste of have really sucky textures.
Oh, and I am becoming fairly convinced that someone is either A) lying to me or B) deciding not to tell the whole truth or C) playing some sort of mind-fuck game that I can't figure-out or D) is really decent and honest and I am just being irrationally paranoid.
AND I am reading a really depressing book, which I started reading because the other book that I was reading was too depressing to finish right now and the book that I did finish last night had a horribly pathetic ending and I was completly let-down by the whole experience of reading that book, and I am trying to decide if I should watch A) Harold and Maude OR B)The Royal Tannenbaums OR C) Bottlerocket OR D) Bridget Jones' Diary.
AND there is someone that I want to introduce myself to, but the personal politics are looking sketchy and I can't figure-out a way around that.

AND I just dribbled blood all down the front of my (formerly) favorite 'comfy' shirt when the tissue fell out.

I was talking to my Spanish instructor today about sports in general, and how I'd blown off some studying to watch a baseball game, and he said something like "Yeah, I used to try to follow motorcycle racing but I don't have the time for it anymore."
...

Nobody watches baseball here -- the local feed of Fox Sports preempts the Cardinals games for skateboarding -- but motorcycle racing they watch? Aaag.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 16 August 2003 03:13 (twenty-two years ago)

the cards are playing the phillies tonight, yes? HOW DARE THEY PREEMPT THE PHILLIES FOR MOTORFUCKINGCYCLE RACING?!?

― Tad (llamasfur), Saturday, 16 August 2003 03:16 (twenty-two years ago)

They preempt it EVERY time! TV Guide and the cable guide channel thing always list the games, and I always flip, and it's always "tonight on Fox Sports ... three hours of skateboarding!" Or racing or skiing (.. ?) or street luge. I am not making these examples up.

You go into IU merchandise stores, and they got Hoosier stuff up the wazoo (which sucks, because no one likes shopping in a wazoo a hundred people have already rummaged through) -- Hoosier basketball, Hoosier football, Hoosier soccer, Hoosier women's volleyball, Hoosier tennis ... Hoosier baseball stuff? No. Nothing. They got a team, but the team has nothing except a T-shirt, which they sell next to the intramural badminton T-shirts.

WE'RE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, PEOPLE!

So I finally get out of bed and go into the kitchen to get some mroe water, only to discover that Glenn has remembered to purchase groceries AND bring thm into the house, where they were abandoned on the kitchen counters. Melted ice cream across the conter and onto the floor. Broken eggs (no idea how that happened) coagulating. I had to throw out all of the meat that he purchased (which is ironic because I almost never cook with meat anymore anyway) because it'd been at room temperature for 6+ hours.
AND then my technologically-challenged Mother called to ask me why she was no longer able to use her 'S' and 'D' keys on her keyboard? I suggested turning off the computer for the night and calling her son-in-law to come look at it in the morning.
AND my damn face looks like I've suffered a stroke. With bloody streaks.
AND I am PMSing.

But there is a baseball game on at the moment ... BOston V Seattle, it looks like. And I saw the A's game earlier (well, I slept through the A's game earlier).

(And the Phillies won 7-4, Tad, get in!)

The Boston-Seattle game's on??? Oh holy fuck, it's on ESPN and it's not over!

Oo. Tied in the 6th. But Boston's been doing a lot better with comebacks lately.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 16 August 2003 03:23 (twenty-two years ago)

... sorry Laura, not to completely ignore your justified bitching there.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 16 August 2003 03:24 (twenty-two years ago)

*laughing* It's so not a problem, Tep. I'm glad that you were able to catch the end of the game ... I made it back into the room in time to watch the final strike-out, so that's not bad.
I'm feeling better ... a cool shower and brushing my teeth (very gently) made me feel quite refreshed. Now I have an ice pack on my cheek and it seems to be staunching the blood drips. So that is good too.
But my book is still grisly and depressing. Which isn't surprising, because it's Ellroy's 'My Dark Places' about how he tried to find who killed his mother, 36 years after the crime. Too much gore and uggy details. I can't believe that I thought this would be a better choice than the 'Dirty Havana Trilogy.'

Maybe some AIM chat shall cheer me.

Geeez. I have what I think is a sinus headache since nothing else was doing for it, so I took the only antihistimine in the house: NyQuil. Got drowsy. Took caffeine. I think if I squint, I can see the back of my head.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 16 August 2003 20:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I remember why I'm not supposed to have NyQuil! I react veryvery strongly to .. dexomorphypan ... thing. That's why i have to get a prexcription for other things from the dr when I have a cold!

Oh yeah, and this is the thread where I say: it turns out my father's sister and her family have a summer house RIGHT IN BLOOMINGTON. I knew they lived nearby -- my uncle is dean of Depauw, or president, or whatever they call it -- but I haven't seen them since I was very young. I'm not entirely sure how to go about socializing with my aunt when I haven't talked to my father in a year and a half. How do I handle that?
"How's your dad?"
"Uh ... I don't know, actually ..."
"What do you think of his wife?"
"Well, I only met her once, and then she called me to pray for my diabetes, even though I kept telling her I DON'T HAVE DIABETES..."
When I was five years old, my cousin David -- this aunt's eldest son -- went to a Red Sox game while I was visiting them. I wanted to go, and they didn't let me (cause they had already bought the tickets and I was five and it was a long drive to wherever) --
"No, Bill," they said, "you get to go see The Black Stallion!"
"What the fuck is that?" asked I in five-year-old-ese.
"Well, it's a movie about a horse --"
"I don't wanna see a movie about a horse! Horses are dumb! I wanna see the Red Sox!"
"No, no," says they, "you'll like it, it has a lot of ... riding ... and ... you can have Milk Duds! Yes, Milk Duds and a Dr Pepper!"
"A what now?" says I.
"A Dr Pepper!"

And that's the story of the first time I had Dr Pepper (and the first time I had Milk Duds, but that's not as life-changing).

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 18 August 2003 03:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Sadly, the sequel to this story is "the first time Tep made a pot-holder." That's what frickin HAPPENS when you go to a frickin HORSE MOVIE instead of the frickin BASEBALL GAME.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 18 August 2003 03:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Well now I want to know that story, too.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 18 August 2003 03:47 (twenty-two years ago)

That's pretty much all there is to it: both my cousins are older than me, but Leslie's the youngest, so not as much older -- which meant she was the one I spent the most time with when I was visiting. Which meant making pot-holders, cause she had gotten this loom thing where you have these loop things and you weave them through and make a pot holder. It's not like we were allowed to grab hot pans or anything, so I don't know why. But yeah, we made pot holders. And then I got a pot holder maker for Christmas, cause it ... was fun. Dammit.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 18 August 2003 03:54 (twenty-two years ago)

But was the movie good?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 18 August 2003 03:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't tell me you haven't seen The Black Stallion! It was good. It wasn't as good as a Red Sox game, but since I was 5, it was probably the better course. Sigh.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 18 August 2003 04:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Of course I have, I just wondered how it compared to a Sox game, 'cause I've never thought to.

In better news, I had a great weekend. Had my mom's signature goulash & some fancy ice cream, visited guitar stores and book stores per usual, ate at Cracker Barrel with the family, went to Water Country again, and finished watching Nightmare on Elm Street.
Nice 5-year-old story, Tep!
Here's a little story about this weekend:
See, when I was little, I was obsessed with going to Arby's. Their jingle was "Best eatin' in town, all 'round!" When I'd get on the phone with my Grandmother, I'd sing that, obviously meaning I wanted her to come take me to Arby's.
Anyway, she REALLY likes to tell and retell this story every time we see her, but this time she forgot the jingle, so she just said, "All I can remember about Sarah is something about 'Tastes good!'" And I was like, "What? That's all you can remember about me?" And I sang her the jingle again, but my mom and sister couldn't stop laughing at what my Grandmother had said.
I have a feeling that story didn't make any sense. Oh, well.

I need some coffee.

I'm still surprised that I'm NOT really hungover, since Cuervo usually doesn't like my head.

Get in me! Unless you're a pillow.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 18 August 2003 15:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Possibly related, though, I am not particularly liking ILE today. It isn't specific people beyond the ones who always rub me the wrong way, and it isn't this thread obviously, I think it's just like when you realize you're not in the mood to watch a television show you ordinarily watch every week. Maybe you watch anyway cause when the mood comes back you'll want to have known what happened.

Friends arrive tonight, won't be on the computer much for a few days, so I'll likely forget all about it.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 18 August 2003 15:32 (twenty-two years ago)

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 18 August 2003 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Did you wake up this morning with your pillow missing?!?
Dude I feel like that all the time (like I"ve "inhale[d] a pillow through my ears" which is a statement which proves once again that you are some kinda WORD NINJA of the highest order), and sometimes I blow my nose and sinus gunk comes out MY EYE.

I miss my pillow. I miss my bed. I miss everything that beds are traditionally used for. Blargh.

I hope you don't actually think I meant you! No, when people rub me the wrong way I just don't interact with them. It's not something that actively bugs me or anything. If I could do this at the dinner table, I'd do Thanksgiving with my extended family.

And thank you :)

Oh man, that used to happen to me all the time when I lived in New England. Come to think of it, I have been having more allergy-related symptoms here in IN than I have in years and years. A classmate said it took two years for her to adjust to the local pollen when she moved here from California.

― NA (Nick A.), Monday, 18 August 2003 15:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm glad it's not just me.

I blame Mondays (and the realization that I did not get as much work done this weekend as I would like, see footnote[1], which doesn't actually need a number since it's the only one) and partial hangovers, I think (see footnote[2]).

[1] This is the thread where I say: I have many irons readying for various fires right now, but two of them are foremost. One of them is just this thing I'm doing for me that I would hope to someday sell assuming I sell the thing that needs to be sold before it. One of them is this thing that I already have a publisher for now that I'm a part-time-sort-of editor in addition to the pirate dayjob[3]. In other words, #1 might not ever pay me anything. #2 will. And yet when I work on #2, I feel guilty for neglecting #1.

[2] Hi, my name is footnote #2 and I am here to keep footnote #1 company because when Tep wrote me he thought there wasn't a footnote #3; and there wouldn't be, if not for him, so there's only a footnote #3 because he thought there wouldn't be, which is the sort of thing footnotes can't stop thinking about when they're high.

[3] Henceforth "day job" will be spelled "dayjob" to parallel with "blowjob," "handjob," and "Oddjob."

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 18 August 2003 15:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Koko?

Either T-Bone or T-Dog are acceptable, provided Tha Nickel teaches me some musikal skillz so we can cut an album as "T-Bone and Tha Nickel."

Koko, not so much.

FLANK. To approach from behind. Also a cut of steak.
STAKE. An impaling device. Homonym of "steak."

FLANK STAKE!

Not precisely what I meant, but um... ok.
I'm wearing a new skirt I got today, but have discovered that in the 'looks one way when you buy it/completely another when you get it home' phenomenon, it's a little shorter than I thought. Oh dear.
Also, don't you hate it when you're emailing people, and a little turns into a LOT and then all of a sudden they just... stop? I always think I've done something wrong. Usually it turns out to be nothing, but it bugs me.
I want a cheeseburger for breakfast. I'll probably have toast.
Looking out our 7th floor window, I see nothing but fog with an underlying layer of brown haze. MMMMM, I love Los Angeles in the summertime! I hate knowing that the hottest weather is still coming - it's almost like the almost-feeling-of-parole, then being told, oh, sorry, you still have 5 years left.

Anywayyyyyyyyyy... how are y'all today?

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna, almost all of my shirts are that way. I buy them, come home, and they're shorter. Shirts though, not skirts. I tend to not buy short skirts as my legs are long enough as it is.
I'm doing well. Not having a boss... Well, I've said enough about that. But anyway, it means I can drive out to eat with NA for lunch just about every day, but didn't have time to so that before.

I keep trying to register for night classes but the college registration system is down. :( Anyway, if I'm successful signing up, I'll start classes next week!

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 15:19 (twenty-two years ago)

It's something to do with the actual purchase and drive home, I think... somehow they shrink... Bastards!
My boss isn't here right now, either, but that doesn't stop her - THANK GOD FOR CELL PHONES! Really, mostly she calls me because she's in the car and she gets bored.

That reminded me I have to sign up for the next round of classes as well (which I should have done two weeks ago). Whoooooo!

My mom just emailed me a song (Beck & Emmylou Harris "Sin City") and it really is making my eyes watery oh shit this is good! "this town's full of sin/it'll swallow you in/if you've got money to burn"...wow.

This song's about LA innit? And A-lo's talkin' 'bout LA up there, and J1mmy from my band just called me a minute ago about how we're booking a bunch of shows out in LA for this fall/winter...I dunno, but there's SOMETHING going on, y'know?

Oooh I forgot (Venuti's appearance reminded me), I was bored last night and all my friends were doing something already and this wild bug crawled up my ass and told me to go play at an open mic. There was way more people there than I thought would be and they stopped me before I got to play Fishbone's "Sunless Saturday" but it was way fun. I miss that nekkid feeling of being onstage with just a guitar and a mic.

Why does class registration have to be so confusing? Grrr... I just want to give them my money and buy books! Classes start next week.

I'm going out to a courthouse in Bumfuck, VA now. Gonna copy some plats and deeds and get addresses on a new subdivision. Oh my GOD is that stuff gonna be fun. Ha ha. But maybe I won't have to come back to the office today... hmmm... (*tapping fingers with a wicked grin like Mr. Burns*)

We're having a company picnic tomorrow. Hot dogs and chips. I need to think of something to eat as I don't eat the dogs. Anyway, it will be a happy waste of time. Those mandatory company picnics take up all kinds of time.

I can't stop listening to My Morning Jacket - At Dawn, I love it. The newest one It Still Moves isn't that good....yet.
I have a wedding to go to this weekend, near Canada. I'm not looking forward to the drive.
My one year wedding aniversary is coming up in September, I can't believe its been a year. Then my b-day in October, which means I'll be 29. Ugh.

I've been playing my guitar like crazy these days and I find solace in it.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 12:58 (twenty-two years ago)

No big plans really Sarah. My band (not the M4nn3qu1ns, who practiced last night, but GT) are gonna jam tonight FINALLY after J1mmy was gone all week and we played a gig last weekend etc etc. I miss rehearsing and writing. Then I'm gonna go have a (possible large quantity of) drink with some friends, and oh my God Lukas' mom might even come hang out with us! Wow.

I ate some bomb-diggity apple pie for breakfast. Some people might say "apple pie for breakfast?" but I'm more like "AW YE-AH APPLE PIE FOR BREAKFAST!!!".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Apple pie should be like the default breakfast for breakfasts that aren't bacon or coffee, BUT are you not aware that this month's Krispy KReme Donut of the Month is Karamel Kreme?

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Fruit pie for breakfast is da best. That or cheesecake. Not like I eat like that regularly, but when there's leftovers, you should enjoy them.
Mmmmmm, Karamel kreme. That sounds kickass.
Chris, I turned 29 last month and it's been okay. Really.
Am I the only one who gets wedding invitations in the mail and thinks-- OH FUCK. Weddings are fun. I like fun. Fun just has some bad consequences for me lately.
I wish...I wish all kinds of things.

I think I'll make myself a banana milkshake for breakfast. With ice cream.

I can't wait to play my guitar to my kids. Whenever I get to have them. Its not very easy to get pregnant.

I suppose 29 isn't bad, but its close to 30. Its weird to really start to become a family man and not a crazy fuck-up.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:49 (twenty-two years ago)

What's even better Chris is playing songs and having your kid(s) sing along! Best audience ever.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

*heart attack at mention of karmel kreme donut*

But is this a good heart attack or a bad heart attack? I'm a guy! I'm wired for "heart attack food = mmmm"!

They're very tasty. I had one last night despite being asked to heat up cinnamon rolls. Unfortunately the caramel fell out in one shirt-attacking globule. But even so.

Cheesecake for breakfast is basically just a very sneaky omelette, so that's clearly A-OK.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 13:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Hah. So these caramel donuts, are they glazed donuts filled with caramel? Do they have some sort of frosting in addition? I MUST KNOW.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:17 (twenty-two years ago)

It's like ... okay, it's a Krispy Kreme donut of the filled type, so not the cakey kind but the other kind that hold their filling well. I think they glaze them, but it's then frosted with chocolate frosting (the dark glossy kind, not the fluffy kind) and some kind of crunchy thing. I don't think it's toffee, but it's this caramel crunchy stuff. The inside is filled with caramel "kreme," which is very much like caramel sundae topping only not quite so rich.

Despite this, I am going to have a bagel and bubble tea for my belated breakfast/early lunch.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

That = the results of my already blown fuse.

I feel really wack today, possibly cuz I fell asleep at like 9 pm last night, never woke up once all night, and then OVERslept until 8:15 this morning...I think my body's mad at me for the 2-4 hour "powernaps" I've been taking for the past few months and finally said "LAY DOWN SHUT YOUR EYES IT'S SLEEP WITH A VENGEANCE TIME!". But anyway I feel weird cuz I haven't yawned once today.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 17:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, if you don't yawn you'll explode. Seriously, I lost a cousin that way. Don't be that guy. Let it out.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I've been doing plenty of yawning for you, nick. I could lay my head down on my desk and be dead asleep in under a minute.

Is THAT what they replaced burnt sienna with? Jumpin Jesus.

My adventure today: shopping for cologne, since I'm nearly out. I have a feeling that on some level my tastes in cologne are affected by some desire to not smell like other people, since I dislike very broad categories of things ("no, this one's way too blue," "that one has musk in it," "no no, not ylang-ylang, Christ!"). It's a good thing I'm not a furry or this would mean I was a wolf or something.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 22 August 2003 02:48 (twenty-two years ago)

So what'd you end up with?

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 22 August 2003 02:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Nothing yet. Out of what was there, Givenchy Pi, Kenneth Cole Black, and Egoiste Platinum are the contenders. I thought I'd like the new Escada, but it's very not for me. Pi has a little vanilla thing going on which is sort of borderline trendy. Egoiste goes on bitter, like ylang-ylang, stays floral for a long time, and then settles down to something I really like. I'll probably go with the Black, or buy more Minotaure and Casual Friday, and/or select something online based purely on its name (batting five hundred on that, between the not-for-me Dalimix and the not-so-bad Lolita Lempicka).

This is way more than anyone needs to know about my cologne selection. I spent a hundred dollars on cologne, make sure my soap and deodorant don't have scents I don't like, and then put on a T-shirt and jeans and a Red Sox cap.

I almost said "anal cologne selection," meaning my anal retentiveness over the issue, and then realized I would probably break ILX.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 22 August 2003 02:58 (twenty-two years ago)

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 22 August 2003 03:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe not, but I just found the newest thing to ask potential dates about from now on.

I think I scared her away...The world may never know

― oops (Oops), Friday, 22 August 2003 03:19 (twenty-two years ago)

She might have suddenly wondered about her OWN anal cologne, and injured something...

No, because I have no need for anal cologne. Sickos.

Ha, yeah I'm kinda at one of those points with my work where I really am not responsible for not getting stuff done for once, as I'm currently waiting on a variety of things from a variety of folks; signed applications to be sent/faxed back, access to website to be granted, phone call/voice mail returns (or even for someone to ANSWER their phone at the very least!), the scanner to be repaired, for a different website not to be (chronically) down. Sheez. Hm, maybe I could do some filing while I wait on THESE POXY FULES.

I'm also kinda still easing into realizing how much I love the new Ween CD; I'd heard it before, but hadn't actually really LISTENED to it 'til last night. I can't believe these are the same dudes responsible for "Pollo Asado" and "Nan" and shit like that. "if you could save yourself, you'd save us all...is that what you called me for? Is that why you're knocking on my door?" Ah mang I love that songs-giving-you-goosebumps shit!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 22 August 2003 12:38 (twenty-two years ago)

This should be interesting. On Wednesday, my friend J asked if I wanted to play bass for one show for the band the he plays drums for occasionally called the Strap-Ons. The show is Friday (today). So he dropped off the cd on Weds. I taught myself 12 songs in one hour. I haven't had time to practice them since, and I don't know if I'll have any time to practice them at all before the show tonight. So that should be fun and new.

Nick (NA), Do you have the cd with you? Apparently, J doesn't know one of the songs yet and wants to borrow it back BEFORE the show! But, worst case scenario, he can listen to it in our car when he gets there. ha ha
Yeah, nickalicious, I feel like most of my work involves sending out some sort of signal (FAXes, phonecalls, emails) and then waiting and then trying back, then waiting... But at least I get a break in there.

Your right NZA the Ween cd is tight. Transdermal Celebration is my fav. A few friends of mine saw them two weeks ago at the cd release show in NH. I skipped out because it was a school night. Luckily I did because none of them remember getting home. Except the designated driver of course.

*ahem*

This thread started out so innocently, like a colorful flower in a little girl's hair. And now we've corrupted it, like a rented dildo. I weep for its lost innocence

and that was Day 1 of this slutty thread

Oops, you were such the prophet. I must have subconsciously copycatted you.

Spread the word, my child.

Help, my girlfriend has seen "maybe one or two episodes" of the Brady Bunch, and has never seen the Partridge Family. What the hell is that?

I am unusually scruffy today and I like it. I'm one of those guys who would buy a razor that left a quarter-inch of stubble. I know they make electric razors that do exactly that, but the nearest electrical outlet to my bathroom is thirty feet away (how crazy is that?)

Tep: I think your post belongs here.

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 22 August 2003 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, ;-)

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 22 August 2003 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

(xp) Your girlfriend must have grown up in a family like mine--we weren't allowed to watch much TV as kids, so I've ended up horrifically pop-culture-illiterate in some ways.
I've never seen the Partridge Family either.

I'm all annoyed and sad and don't know what the fuck to think of anything today. I should go listen to peanut butter jelly time again for a smile.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 22 August 2003 16:17 (twenty-two years ago)

But I wasn't being funny!

Julia -- it's not the lack of TV, it's the age thing. She was born in late 1979 and is a late 80s/early 90s kid, whereas I was born in 1975 and grew up around kids much older than me, so I'm essentially a late 70s/mid 80s kid. (I know Bill Bixby from "The Courtship of Eddie's Father"; she vaguely remembers he played the Hulk.

It's mostly odd because she's the youngest person I've dated, both in actual age (I'd never dated anyone under 24 before) and age relative to mine (four years younger). So once in awhile the reminders pop up.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 22 August 2003 16:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, except for a couple of posts, no one's being funny on that thread, either! It's the wording.
I think I need bacon and lots of it.

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 22 August 2003 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, come to Bloomington, you would not believe how many varieties of bacon we have. My current bacon is lightly-smoked sliced pig jowl rimmed with aspic. Salty as fuck, not as sweet as some bacons, barely smoky, goes incredibly well with German mustard.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 22 August 2003 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok, it's about a 17 hour drive to Bloomington, so this bacon had better kick my ass!

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 22 August 2003 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

They have red-eye gravy, too, so that oughta push the balance to the side of ass-kicking. No worries.

Bacon + biscuit + red-eye gravy = mmmm.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 22 August 2003 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

thinkin of a master plan...ain't nothin but sweat inside my hand

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 22 August 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

psst...Tep, they have cordless electric razors nowadays. What a country!

i hate being a lurker and i wish my name weren't ally.

― allyson (schmanktenputchka), Saturday, 23 August 2003 01:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I will not believe in such voodoo!
I think I used to know that, actually. I think I used to HAVE one. Weird. Maybe I will live the rest of my life in scruff, then!

allyson, you just posted, so you're not a lurker anymore. Easily done :)

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 23 August 2003 01:40 (twenty-two years ago)

there is an ally (or two) but there is no allyson. now, for the final test, let's see you italicize up in this bitch

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 23 August 2003 01:43 (twenty-two years ago)

italicize this, motherfuckwads. if this doesn't work, may you rot in hell, mr. web

― allyson (schmanktenputchka), Saturday, 23 August 2003 01:48 (twenty-two years ago)

― allyson (schmanktenputchka), Saturday, 23 August 2003 01:49 (twenty-two years ago)

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 23 August 2003 05:39 (twenty-two years ago)
