Oh, y'all know what to do by now...

This is the thread where I say ... Part VIII

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:15 (twenty-two years ago)

hi!

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:16 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm in san francisco in one week and one day! to scout the joint and see my special californian friends!

huzzah!

― Kingfish Beatbox (Kingfish), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:18 (twenty-two years ago)

(Luna, sweetie, "VIII" means "8".)

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck, I meant to type 9.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:18 (twenty-two years ago)

It's 11:18, and already it's been a longer day than I know what to do with.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:18 (twenty-two years ago)

it's 1:20

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:20 (twenty-two years ago)

No, it's 11:20.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:20 (twenty-two years ago)

it feels like I've been here since about 3 am

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:20 (twenty-two years ago)

No, Casuistry, it's 11:21. You liar.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:21 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, Ned makes a valid point.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:21 (twenty-two years ago)

you're all wrong! it's 1:22, or in the Lunar Numerals: T:WF

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:21 (twenty-two years ago)

WE DO NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR HEATHEN PLAINS CLOCK.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:22 (twenty-two years ago)

1:23
I got an email last night from an ex who found me through Classmates. She seems to be doing well after going through a couple of very bad relationships and is now living with a cop in Saskatoon. Odd that she would suddenly want to talk after 11 years. Nice to catch up I guess.

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:22 (twenty-two years ago)

If I was living with a cop in Saskatoon, I'd be thinking about better times too.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Does Saskatoon lack romance?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:24 (twenty-two years ago)

ps, hey Brian (and maybe Chris P too) did you that the Conservative Party nixed Grant Devine's nomination?

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:24 (twenty-two years ago)

She sounds happy for the most part. Perhaps that's why she felt it was ok to start to talk to people like me. I hurt her terribly and yet she's still friendly. Very strange.

Grant Devine always made me think of deveined shrimp so I've always imagined him to be smelly.

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

xpost:

Ned, it depends on who you ask, Stompin' Tom bemoans being "alone in Saskatoon" in "Prairie Moon" but the Guess Who think it's worth "Running Back To..."

but the Saskatoon Police have, in the last few years, come under numerous scandals over their lack of cultural sensitivity

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:27 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, so yesterday Jake (my bass player, Ned's old roommate, etc.) was showing me a link about the Humboldt, Iowa, Polka Fest. It's a long weekend of polka music and includes a polka mass. Jake grew up near there and so we're totally hyped and wanting to go and thinking about becoming a polka band.

I do a google.

AND it turns out that there is a weekend-long Polka Fest feature a polka mass in Humboldt, SASKATCHEWAN! I nearly pee my pants with delight.

So now I have a new dream, one that involves seeing BOTH the Humboldt Polka Fests.

Huck, are you at all down with that scene?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned, did you even LISTEN to my album? All the love is in Regina.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:28 (twenty-two years ago)

hell yeah!
aside from the very German sounding name Humboldt, what are the odds that there would be TWO Humboldt Polka Fest?

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned, did you even LISTEN to my album? All the love is in Regina.

I have heard of these 'lyrics.'

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:31 (twenty-two years ago)

in a couple of minutes I'm going for training on the new Photocopier!

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm betting the guy is an RCMP officer as she worked for the mounties. She's almost the last person I would have ever expected to end up with a cop but whatever floats her boat is cool with me.

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I suppose I should dig up the Right Wing Canada thread, but it's weird how the new Conservatives have kicked out three Saskatchewanis (though Pankiw was actually turfed before the merger), and one of their biggest pains-in-ass is a fourth (Orchard).

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

19:41, I think I will play video games now, see ya.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I loved what Rick Mercer had to say about Belinda Stronach. The Alliance pushes for this new party then a candidate from Ontario who will get support from Ontario and Quebec comes along and makes it so the west will lose their voice again. What Mercer say to the Conservatives: "don't try stuff"?

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 19 February 2004 19:43 (twenty-two years ago)

the new photocopier is going to ruin my life.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 February 2004 20:04 (twenty-two years ago)

actual headline on the CP wire:
Celine Dion supports organization for people with intellectual disabilities

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 February 2004 20:19 (twenty-two years ago)

xp with huck haha

Is that dizzy party still going on? Because I'd be a permanent member, more so right now. I've got that whole laying-down-drunk feeling. I hate that one. If I'm going to feel like I'm drunk, I'd like to at least have that whole fun exuberance of it.

Thanks for telling tales of your ass on that other thread, Chris V. I needed a smile, and ass stories amuse me.

Hi all!

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 19 February 2004 20:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I really want a root beer float.

I'll probably play video games soon too.

Oh yeah, 3:43.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 19 February 2004 21:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I would kill someone for a root beer float right now.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 19 February 2004 21:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick, wait for me to get a float. YUM!

Only 1 hour and 13 minutes left of work today.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 19 February 2004 21:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes! I get to have a root beer float - and Sarah's buying!

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 19 February 2004 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Damn it. I mean, great.

Julia, that's what Nick told me the other day. I called him and was complaining about being fuzzy headed and dizzy and he said I should just pretend I'm on drugs at work. That worked for a little while, but let me tell you, work is SUCH a buzzkill.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 19 February 2004 21:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I am new to this work thing again, and I find that being extremely busy most of the time allows me to not notice what shit it is to have to be here in the first place. I am surprised that I didn't notice this in the past. Perhaps all of my previous jobs have been easier than my skills warrant.

― martin m. (mushrush), Thursday, 19 February 2004 22:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I want a root beer float! I have this mug of tea but wow, I didn't even think about a root beer float.

Also, it's only 2:08, you have nearly 3 hours more. Sorry!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 19 February 2004 22:08 (twenty-two years ago)

You play with the idea of time zones, Chris, but here it really is 2:08, and I really do have about four more hours of work. So bah!

― martin m. (mushrush), Thursday, 19 February 2004 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey dudes! Sarah and I are about to watch episode 13 of series 1 of The Sopranos - we started with ep. 1 on Saturday and our marathon is almost over. It makes me sad :(

(10.40pm, yo)

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 19 February 2004 22:40 (twenty-two years ago)

martin, I've found that those jobs which were below my skill level were often the shittiest ones.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 19 February 2004 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Does that include teaching?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:06 (twenty-two years ago)

No. not at all. ths job is shitty b/c of the way our country works and how we treat the most helpless members of society.

It's never, ever boring and if anything overwhelms me and my skill set.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Friday, 20 February 2004 01:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Fair enough.

If I were in charge, our most helpless members of society would have all the Taco Bell they could want!

This is, of course, why I'm not in charge.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 20 February 2004 03:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Sam, I'm terribly sorry you've discovered that.

I suppose it'd be nice to live in innocence and with idealistic views, but unfortunately one cannot expect to do that AND function in this world of ours.

Root beer sounds good. So does listening to some Minor Thirds stuff, but at the moment I'd rather listen to something more shimmery. More dancey. I'm just going through a "I want to have fun" period right now. It's working ever so slightly.

I feel so alien walking into this sort of thread again. Have been mucho busy over the course of the past several days. Am totally worn out. But I'm still awake because... ?

(It's currently 12:23 a.m. locally.)

Hope those of you who've noticed a lack of updates on my little LJ thing will see that I've started updating again. And thus concludes the "shameless promotion" portion of tonight's TITTWIS post. :)

Huge hugs to everyone.

(Many additional notes, including:

I've decided to get back to a nickname I loved. I'm hoping to eventually settle on one nickname and keep it for a good, long while, but as for now my nickname, like my life, will remain in flux.

[Well, I didn't say I'd list ALL the notes here, hm? *wink*])

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Friday, 20 February 2004 06:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Dee methinks you are keeping a delicious secret young lady! Nice to see you here. *hugs*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 20 February 2004 09:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Have you been boning, Dee?

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 20 February 2004 13:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Damn crazy Canadiens!

― Chris V (Chris V), Friday, 20 February 2004 13:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Update: we did indeed have root beer floats last night. And since Breyers Ice Cream was buy one, get one free, I bought chocolate ice cream too.

Our cat keeps doing this thing where she goes in the corner between the wall and the couch, stretches out with her claws in the couch like she's scratching it, then meows plaintively like she's stuck, even though she's perfectly capable of getting out. She seriously does this about 3 or 4 times in a row.

I have made a resolution to go do something today so I don't get lethargic and depressed like I did yesterday.

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 20 February 2004 13:55 (twenty-two years ago)

after i eat my chocolate ice cream......

― Chris V (Chris V), Friday, 20 February 2004 13:57 (twenty-two years ago)

― Chris V (Chris V), Friday, 20 February 2004 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, maybe someone could retitle this thread so we don't have 2 part 8s...?

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 20 February 2004 14:07 (twenty-two years ago)

That's crazy talk.

I got to work super early today, but I'll still end up with a shabby paycheck since I left so early Tuesday when I was super dizzy. Blah. Who cares? IT'S ALMOST THE WEEKEND!!! WOO HOO!!!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 20 February 2004 14:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Hellooooo Sarah!

Well it's nearly the w/e (yay) & I've had a hell of a day. I've been busy booking hotels (for your trip to London) trying to organise meeting up with some friends in london on Tuesday, booking viewings for houses to rent on Monday morning, oh & I've been trying to work aswell! Phew! Looking forward to my b/day party tomorrow nite. Lots of drinking & there will be dancing godamnit! Then NOT looking forward to the hangover on Sunday, but am looking forward to my actual b/day on Monday where i get to go to London & meet some of my favourite ilxors! yay! Wish all you TITTWISers could come along!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 20 February 2004 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

when I was in Grade 8, we used to play floor hockey for gym about twice a month and it was a total rockout. Our teacher, who seemed about 6'4" back then, but was probably more like 5'8", would get involved too.
That's where we settled playground scores, and Mr. C. was not exempt, just bigger than the rest of us.
I guess that kind of thing wouldn't pass these days, but without it, recess would've been like the riot at Attica!

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Friday, 20 February 2004 14:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, Pink. Happy Pre-Birthday. I WILL get something in the mail to you, I promise! So, maybe you can extend your birthday season a little. :)

I haven't posted this much in SOOOO LOOONNNG. I need to come in to work early more often.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 20 February 2004 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm stupidly happy that there is a new Tesco Express ('Tespresso'?) at the top of my road. Where I can buy real food at 11pm. And they do reeeaallly good hazelnut yoghurt.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and birthday PP! Sorry i won't be fapping but don't forget the proposed Brighton MarchFAP!!

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 20 February 2004 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks ladeez!
Sarah-we will be moving soon so let me know if you do so that I can give you the right address!
Archel-cool, I'd forgotten about that, fingers crossed it all works out!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 20 February 2004 14:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh my I just said a poor lesbian/kipper joke out loud in the office only to realise with horror that the only three people who could hear it were lesbians.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 20 February 2004 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

You're right, Huck. Noon hour floor hockey was the one time in our school anyway where all the rules that applied to teacher and student behaviour went out the window. It’s too hard to play properly if you're worried about stuff like that. You hope that a teacher would be able to keep his or her cool, though. I don't think this guy should've been suspended. Maybe 2 minutes for looking so good! **cockpunches self**

And yes! Happy pre-birthday, Pink! Email me your address and something Canadianny will be on its way!

Yup, it's very good to have you here, Sarah.

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 20 February 2004 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

There are lesbian/kipper jokes that AREN'T poor, Mark?

Manitoba woman collecting bras to throw on stage at Nickelback
BRANDON, Man. (CP) — A Manitoba woman is collecting bras to toss at Nickelback when they perform here in March.
“We’re just going to belt them with generosity,“ says Cindy Kobluk, who’s already urged area women to give 150 bras.
Chad Kroeger, frontman for the Alberta rockers, has urged fans to throw their bras on stage at concerts in Calgary and Winnipeg in January and February. He told the crowd in Winnipeg the band would sign the lingerie, which would be auctioned off for charity.
“In a day and a half, I collected 68 bras,“ Kobluk said. “Imagine the impact on us, being known as the small town with a big heart.
“It feels good. I’m giving back to a band that’s given to me.“
Other women in nearby towns are also collecting bras.
“We are telling everybody to go through their drawers,” says Becki Fulhan, a hair stylist in Birtle.
“It’s just because it’s being donated to charity.”
However, Kobluk has yet to snag a ticket to the concert in Brandon on March 11, so the bras may not make it on stage.
She’s not worried, though.
“Sometimes you just have to find some dumb luck.”
(Brandon Sun)

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

they should throw a bunch of mirrors on the stage so Kroeger can get a look at his hideous mug.

― Chris V (Chris V), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

who would buy a bra signed by nickelback? it's giving me the heebie jeebies.

Aren't kippers fish?!!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Unfortunately, yes.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:06 (twenty-two years ago)

*shudders*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh I forgot (moving SWIFTLY on) - I'm not just happy cos of Tespresso, I'm happy because Matt has an interview for a job he really wants next week, AND it happens to be on the same campus as mine :)

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Brandon is my hometown. That's all I can say about that.

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:09 (twenty-two years ago)

that's why I posted it.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks for the reminder of why I moved to Winnipeg.

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:11 (twenty-two years ago)

well, at least they're the women THROWING the bras. It'll probably be Regina women (or ickier, MEN) who buy the bras at auction. Reginans can't resist the false assumption that anything bought at auction is a bargain.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Ooh good luck to Matt for me Archel! (I love that Tespresso!)
Btw, I am getting my hair cut tomorrow aswell!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Ooh. I want/need a haircut. But I don't know what style. Maybe people can look at the (hideous) picture here and suggest improvements?

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:25 (twenty-two years ago)

i think it looks nice as it is! although, i can imagine you with a fringe/bangs (i don't know where you are) that tapers down, kind of like the catherine zeta jones new style. (i don't like her, but i like that haircut)

what texture is your hair?

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I got a new haircut last Saturday. It's real short and I hated it at first. But now I like it. It makes me look like a grown-up.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Texture is quite thick and frizz-prone. I haven't had a fringe for about 15 years; I'm quite excited by that prospect!

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah def go for a fringe!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:41 (twenty-two years ago)

ooh, i'm on a style-advisor roll right now.

i'll actually tell you the same thing that i just told my friend downstairs that was complaining about thick and sometimes frizzy hair. i just started using the kiehls' groom for fine hair, and it is a miracle. i'll bet the regular one is as good, for thicker hair.

the nice thing is that if you go to their store (there's one in covent garden, and others in department stores), they'll give you pretty decent sized samples to try out.

here's a link to 'creme with silk groom'
http://www.kiehls.com/Default.aspx?p=262&sc=252&st=0&cc=7

that and a fringe could mean lovely spring makeover!

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 20 February 2004 15:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Colette, if you are in that kind of mood how should I have my nails done this eveing?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:15 (twenty-two years ago)

How about any of these?
http://www.nails-by-jess.com/images/nailartall.jpg

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Blimey!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the pale blue one with the flowers 4th from right in the top row, the pale pink one 2nd from right in the top row, and the red one with white flowers 4th from right in the bottom row.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the red one 2nd on on the right on the 2nd row down.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

ladies...those nails are so grotesque. get a nice clean manicure.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Well I was thinking that, but I have that all of the time. I probably wouldn't have any of those above tbh!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe I'll just go for glitter!!!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I just spoke to Will Self. Is he still famous?

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think I would wear fake nails (in fact if you saw the state of my nails right now the very idea of me discussing nail 'art' would seem laughable) but I do think some of those patterns are pretty.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes Mark. He's also still a cock. What was he like to talk to?

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

i think modest-length sculpted nails are nice but that airbrushed stuff is just tacky. apparently a lot of women around here dig tacky.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

No, I hate tacky. However, I still think that red and white flower pattern would look nice on a teapot or something.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Did you tell Will that I didn't much care for that one book of his I read?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:54 (twenty-two years ago)

my nails are natural, but they are covered in silk wraps to make them stronger. Also the nail art that my 'nail lady' does is all hand painted, much more tasteful than the above!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

go for the Snowman one, or get one with the Factory Records 'f' logo...

The bra story reminds me that I've been meaning to post the pictures I took while driving through Brandon!

http://www.theminorthirds.com/pix-brandon.jpg
(The banner says "Welcome/Bienvenue/Wilkommen/[etc] to Brandon".)

http://www.theminorthirds.com/pix-brandon-u.jpg
Brandon University's slogan is "Something Special". Aww.

http://www.theminorthirds.com/pix-brandon-pizza.jpg
This was one of the most baffling of them all. Did John Jacob Astor have his fingers in Brandon? Or did someone move there from Astoria, NY, or Astoria, Oregon, and open a pizza joint?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

my nails' roots are showing.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Friday, 20 February 2004 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Brandon University! That's my school! That sign sucks. Astoria is oddly named but good. Casa Maley is a B & B and it's really nice. Those are good pics! Yay for my (and Sean C's) hometown!

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 20 February 2004 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Bryan, it's no wonder you turned out "something special".

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 20 February 2004 17:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I'm special. I should probably be wearing a hockey helmet all the time I'm so special.

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 20 February 2004 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

No, I missed that one, Sean! Brandon has yet more treasures waiting for me to uncover, I suppose.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 20 February 2004 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Not really.

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 20 February 2004 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

My dear Mr. Casuistry -- I've been pricing flights for Portland and called my cousin there, so set aside Memorial Day weekend for sure or I will cry.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 20 February 2004 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

On Valentines Day VH1 soul played 1/2 hour of Keith Sweat video's. I tried to get busy with my wife during it but then I thought maybe VH1 was playing these videos because Keith Sweat died. I went flaccid.

― Chris V (Chris V), Friday, 20 February 2004 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh I don't feel so good.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 20 February 2004 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I have that effect on ladies.

― Chris V (Chris V), Friday, 20 February 2004 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Well this time it was the Captain, sugar, not you.

(PS I think you're hot)

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 20 February 2004 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned, Consider it aside-set. Although I already explained to you that my mother might be in town then, right?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 20 February 2004 17:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Away one week, and tis hedonism galore. (Or is that my warped imagination?)

So now I have a new dream, one that involves seeing BOTH the Humboldt Polka Fests.

Wear the accordion, and there better be pics, dude. (Still haven't heard your TM CDs yet, BTW. 2 months gone, and the Mountain isn't moving. Off to email Jake, again.)

Pink, I'm with Sammy: natural nails are chip-less, though you may have hangnail troubles.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Friday, 20 February 2004 17:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Ugh, the captain. Haven't touched it since 1994.

P.S. thanks.

― Chris V (Chris V), Friday, 20 February 2004 17:53 (twenty-two years ago)

i actually dig reading rosa parks. there's a lot these kids don't know about the civil rights movement. they love asking me questions and talking about it. I enjoy it immensely as well.

still, malcolm x would have been sweet.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Friday, 20 February 2004 17:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Jake's computer imploded. But he has a new one, finally, so orders are slowly going out. Feel free to bug him, though. Had he told me earlier, I would have helped him fulfill that order!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Although I already explained to you that my mother might be in town then, right?

Yes'm -- going to try and come in on the Thursday night and stay through Monday, hopefully at my cousin's place, so things will suggest themselves as they do.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Feel free to bug him, though.

Cheers, CP. I'll tell him you said that;> Can't wait to hear them.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned will attest to the value in bugging Jake.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

But see, I can always plead ignorance, as I've never had anything to bug Jake about.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

(Side point: after talking this out with a few folk over the last few days, I've decided to stick around ILX. So, I kiss you, Huck, Pink and Luna! Besides, I'm too opinionated to stay quiet, and down here, repression is a way of life.)

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned will attest to the value in bugging Jake.

I think it was more like I bemused him greatly with my presence.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Kisses for me too, Nichole!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:28 (twenty-two years ago)

(blows kisses) Merci, Sarah!

Has anyone ever noticed at the end of Sexual Healing as it fades out you can hear marvin say "please don't procrastinate, i don't wanna masturbate"?

I remember this line being totally noticeable on the Soul Asylum version (eurgh). That version makes me laugh, it's so tacky. Listening to the Marvin Gaye version and I can't hear it but someone may have cut off the very end because I'm listening to a downloaded mp3. (it fades right at the procrastinate line) Also, upon checking the Ben Harper version, he just says the procrastinate bit without the masturbate line.

And now guess what song I have in my head? "Heeeal me, my daaarlin'..."

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I think it was more like I bemused him greatly with my presence.

That Jake is still standing says a lot about his character;>

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Listening to the Marvin Gaye version and I can't hear it but someone may have cut off the very end because I'm listening to a downloaded mp3. (it fades right at the procrastinate line)

Gotta dig out the vinyl again then, as I don't remember hearing that "procrastinate" line, ever.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:42 (twenty-two years ago)

im telling you....the man doesn't lie.

― Chris V (Chris V), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned, I said "bugging", not "buggering".

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

New euphemisms for the day! CP, I heart you with jackboots

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Friday, 20 February 2004 18:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned, I said "bugging", not "buggering".

Damn you, sir!

AGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!
So I'm two steps from walking out of the godamned building for the weekend when THE FAX MACHINE SHUTS DOWN!
So now I have to sit around and wait for the repair technician to show up. What a fucking bummer.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Friday, 20 February 2004 21:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Should have trotted out of the building. Then you could swear you didn't know.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Friday, 20 February 2004 21:25 (twenty-two years ago)

they'd just call me at home

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Friday, 20 February 2004 21:26 (twenty-two years ago)

and make you drive all the way back? Damn.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Friday, 20 February 2004 21:27 (twenty-two years ago)

if he's not here in 20 minutes, I'm gonna say eff, and just leave a note with my supervisor. I got beer to drink dangit!

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Friday, 20 February 2004 21:31 (twenty-two years ago)

eff? how about 'fuck it'?

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 20 February 2004 21:46 (twenty-two years ago)

He's trying to bring some decorum to this forum, you gutterskank.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 20 February 2004 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

(this is when i wonder if everybody knows i'm not serious)

― oops (Oops), Friday, 20 February 2004 21:49 (twenty-two years ago)

3 minutes left, and then I'm gonna say all kinds of terrible things.
the worst thing is, the guy we lease it from, the guy who owns/runs the business we lease it from, was in yesterday selling the same model to another dept. because we've had no problems with it in the year we've had it. He even came by to say hello and was like "how's the fax machine working out?"
And I was like "Excellent! It is the best machine I have ever had the pleasure of being responsible for! Every morning I come in to work excited by another day of sitting beside it."

I'm gonna burn the fucking thing down. Not really. But I might watch the scene from Office Space in slo-mo tonight.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Friday, 20 February 2004 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Holy shit, it's 4 am and I'm still awake.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 21 February 2004 12:08 (twenty-two years ago)

The Brak Show is pretty sweet, though.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 21 February 2004 12:09 (twenty-two years ago)

4:30am. fuck.

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 21 February 2004 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Then, wouldn't you know it, I woke up at 8:30am. I think now that I'm unemployed I don't need as much sleep, maybe? I'm not really complaining.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 21 February 2004 17:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I made it through the night. What now?

― Bryan (Bryan), Saturday, 21 February 2004 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Plan your big Portland adventure.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 21 February 2004 17:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok. Right after I plan my big pay my April rent on time adventure!

― Bryan (Bryan), Saturday, 21 February 2004 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, I'm taking part in that adventure too!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 21 February 2004 18:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay Nichole, glad you're sticking around!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Saturday, 21 February 2004 19:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I got real drunk last night and went to a rap show, where I may hallucinated. I either need to drink more or not at all, because I get drunk way too easily these days, but I still have the thirst of when I could hold my booze. So it's trouble.
TOday I'm not doing much, but I did just sort of watch smost of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and it kinda sucked. I mean, they didn't SEARCh for Spock at all, they knew where he was and those other people found him by accident.

― Huck, Saturday, 21 February 2004 21:11 (twenty-two years ago)

What are you doing online on a Saturday, Huck?

I was looking at pictures of Sask last night -- both ones I took and ones that a certain tall and bizarrely named DJ you know took and put on his LJ -- and was totally missing it, for reasons I can't put my finger on. It's a damn photogenic place, at the very least.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 21 February 2004 21:51 (twenty-two years ago)

What am I doing on online on a Saturday?
Dude, I've been connected at my new place since the start of the month. My brain is still hurting today and I'm not sure about this tall and bizarrely named DJ. I can think of lots of bizarrely-named Djs, but they're all short. Except one who is short and fat. And Steve. Is that it?
Probably the best part of last night (the weather's been great, right around zero for the last few days) was walking from the phony Irish pub (not the less-phony one we were at when you were here) to the rap show through the warehouse district.

― Huck, Sunday, 22 February 2004 04:14 (twenty-two years ago)

IN case you didn't read the drunk thread, we got drunk and watched Showgirls. WQhoo!

― NA (Nick A.), Sunday, 22 February 2004 05:11 (twenty-two years ago)

christ almighty im drunk.

― Chris V (Chris V), Sunday, 22 February 2004 05:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick is watching Weekend Update on SLF. I mean SNL. And I like SNL just fine but I don't like weekend update is much because it reminds me too much of news shows and my dad made me watch the news when I was little every night. Well, he didn't make me watch them but that's what he would do and I wanted to hang out with my dad so I had to watch the fucking local news and I don't have to any more.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Sunday, 22 February 2004 05:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Would he yell at the news? My dad would watch the news every night without fail and dammit if you messed with the VCR and he didn't get to see the news you'd be sorry. And he'd yell at the goddamn liberals, blahblahblah.

Yeah, so I have a bit of an aversion to news too now.

I try not to visit my parents on Sundays because he tapes all of those news shows with the tables of people arguing endlessly, and then watches them alllll afternoon. That shit drives me mad.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Sunday, 22 February 2004 05:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Huck, his show is after yours.

Nick, "Last chance for ice."

I am drunk. We played board games tonight. I like board games, good ones, at least.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Sunday, 22 February 2004 09:17 (twenty-two years ago)

insanely banal inanity

― Dan I., Sunday, 22 February 2004 09:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi Dan! Welcome to our thread. It's casual here. What's up?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Sunday, 22 February 2004 09:28 (twenty-two years ago)

inanely banal sanity

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 22 February 2004 09:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, I'm not so drunk now.

I just read on a KRS mailing list that this guy from a band was hit by a drunk driver after a show. I tell Nick and he's like, 'Yeah, that was outsite the Empty Bottle after the Ponys show we went to...' It makes me feel kind of sick that some guy died right after we started walking home and I didn't know about it.

IN other news, I had some pretty weird dreams last night.

Oh yeah, before our drunken Showgirls festival, we actually tried to go out to see the movie the Dreamers. We made the mistake of driving though. After a million bajillion years of trying to find a parking space downtown (we were addamant that we wouldn't have to pay $11 for a parking garage), we ended up just going back home. It could have been a dissappointing evening, but then Nick had this idea.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Sunday, 22 February 2004 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a bit of a hangover! Weird. I usually don't.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Sunday, 22 February 2004 18:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I'm turning into a b-boy.
Or maybe not. I don't know, I need to shake things up, style-wise, and FRESH is Fresh.
I don't know, I think partly, my new found interest in rap and hip hop (not that I haven't been down since I was 8 yrs old and heard Run DMC and rapped in front of my Gr. 3 class, but from, uh, whatever, this is not the story I want to tell about how it's hard to be a G in Saskatchewan) has to do as much with an actual real interest in it as the fact that I feel like it gives me an edge over the guy I'm not even supposed to be competing with any more. But on Friday he was like "So are you going to such-and-such-a rock show?"
And I was like, "Nu-huh. I'm going to the rap show, Shorty."

Anyway, I know who you're talking about now, Chris. He wasn't there last week, so he was out of mind. But yeah, it's not just his DJ name or anything, but his given and family names together are pretty weird-ass. He's a nice guy though and probably would do better at my job than I do. I should be a sports writer or something. Or a wine critic. I'm actually thinking of drafting up some samples of a grooming column, a funny one, to shop around to a few places. Cuz I think my grooming is funny, and also I wouldn't mind starting to groom myself better (as noted above) and if I can write about it, then I can make it, at the very least, tax deductible.

― Huck, Monday, 23 February 2004 04:09 (twenty-two years ago)

remember when we used to only talk in italics?

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 23 February 2004 04:15 (twenty-two years ago)

no
all I know is bold and italics. i stink.

― huck, Monday, 23 February 2004 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I'd like to revive the old customs. sundays=death for me. I'm out of my pills. have no clothes that fit me anymore b/c i've gained so much weight. don't know what i'm teaching tomorrow. *sigh* sundays blow so much.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 23 February 2004 04:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I liked when we talked all in italics....

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 23 February 2004 04:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I've decided I want Tatum O' Neal's hair in "Little Darlings".. please god give me big loopy ringlets and an outgrown mullet!!

― Mandee, Monday, 23 February 2004 05:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I just realized that this is my last sunday EVER where I can avoid that depressing monday-is-almost-upon-me feeling.. I start my new job Wednesday and that means pretty soon it will be HERE.

― Mandee, Monday, 23 February 2004 05:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I always thought the italics were weird, but if it makes you feel better, go ahead.

I just got spam that said "Canada" in the title and I was momentarily excited!

Huck: DJ Ridiculousname is also a keen photographer. I should just e-mail this, I guess. But that's all I really have to say.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 23 February 2004 10:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I hope the italics thing isn't revived, as it is far harder for me to read - didn't used to be a problem, but since the eye troubles it makes a significant difference. A good approach if you want to insult me behind my back, then. Anyway, my op is two weeks today, so with luck this won't be a problem for much longer. I'm counting the days - I'd be counting the hours if I knew what time the op was.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 23 February 2004 13:20 (twenty-two years ago)

i can't believe i left work too early to advise on airbrushed nails.

i've never had anything like that done, but i think airbrushing is amazing. problem is looking so tacky when you've got nails long enough to actually get airbrushed. maybe since your nail artist is doing it by hand, she can do a cool design on shorter nails, which would probably solve the problem?

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 23 February 2004 13:36 (twenty-two years ago)

DJ I Can't Believe That's His Real Nomenclature did a thing on his photography...crap, I'll just email you.
Whatever. I'm growing a beard, anyhow. Not really, but I didn't shave. My face. But it's sort of groomed, but my face looks like ass (not like AN ass, though). I just wasn't made for beards. Or moustaches.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Monday, 23 February 2004 14:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Can someone tell me if this is working. Its a webcast radio thingy I set up.

― Chris V (Chris V), Monday, 23 February 2004 14:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I have to warn Chris on here, in case he doesn't read the ILX Dreams thread, that I had an odd dream with him in it last night.

― NA (Nick A.), Monday, 23 February 2004 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

me or the other chris?

― Chris V (Chris V), Monday, 23 February 2004 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, Chris Piuma. Sorry.

― NA (Nick A.), Monday, 23 February 2004 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey Chris P., you should pick up the current issue of Harper's. They have a little tiny bit about SK in the Readings section.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Monday, 23 February 2004 15:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris V, your webcast thing didn't work for me, but I'm on dialup, which sucks by default...it's not even trying to connect though.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

My guess is it probably froze up. Since its not showing in the list of station on the website. Or my pc just disconnected it because of my firewall. Thanks though!

― Chris V (Chris V), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I liked the throw-back style of the italics but I won't use them so Martin can read my whining too.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I liked it initially, too, but hey, bitch at me enough and even I cave.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 February 2004 17:03 (twenty-two years ago)

It may work now.

― Chris V (Chris V), Monday, 23 February 2004 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Works for me, sug.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I subscribe to Harper's. I didn't see it yet though. And let me check the dreams thread, that sounds odd!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:28 (twenty-two years ago)

it's nothing THAT special, just a list of terms from Legislative Assemblies in the UK & Commonwealth that were deemed "unparliamentary."
And there are few from SK.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:31 (twenty-two years ago)

cool.

― Chris V (Chris V), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:35 (twenty-two years ago)

also from last Sept's Harper's Index: (warning: GROSS!)
Number of Canadian prison inmates who overdosed in March on
fellow prisoners' methadone-laced vomit: 2 [Saskatchewan
Department of Corrections (Regina, Canada)]

Number of inmates charged with drug trafficking for providing the
vomit: 3 [Saskatchewan Department of Corrections (Regina,
Canada)]

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:39 (twenty-two years ago)

15:35: Coming through loud and clear here too, Chris. Wish I knew what I was hearing now; sounds like Nick Drake, though....

Frigging baking out (c. 85 deg), and I can't wait for nightfall. (Toss any cans at my head, and I've a racket ready for the return serve).

Tiny bitch: the high cost of postage. Send a package, and be prepared to mortgage your house to afford it. Just sent one today to friends (birthday prezzies) and knowing there will be joy on their faces tis the only thing that made it worth doing.

Back to scheduled programming....

and it was goooood

― Kingfish Beatbox (Kingfish), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:41 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm thinking of it luna. must lose weight somehow. oh wait were you talking aobut the vomit?

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Yup.

But I need to lose weight too... and I figure just not eating would be better than the speed diet.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't eaten yet today!
Slept sorta in. missed breakfast. didn't bring any cash, so didn't buy lunch at cafeteria. don't have bus money to get home, sad huck <<:(
(because I have a pointy head)

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Your hat covers it nicely.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't eaten either, but I think that I should because, though the vomit thing grossed me the fuck out, I'm going to start getting really bitchy if I don't.

Okay, who am I kidding? Bitchier.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm giving up junk food for Lent -- and ironically-in-that-way-that-isn't, deciding to do so prompted me to hurry up and make tons of desserts during Carnival.

And hi guys -- I'm officially on, like, anti-sabbatical, or whatever the word is for when you come back somewhere temporarily, hanging out to keep tabs on ILE's Passion discussion.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:46 (twenty-two years ago)

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:47 (twenty-two years ago)

The end of the Mew song "Comforting Sounds" could be the most bombastic ending to a pop song ever. It is indeed comforting to me. Anyone think I should get out of bed today (or the rest of the week for that matter)?

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm giving up Lent for Lent.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I sympathize with the not getting out of bed, that's why I'm growing a beard. It's a way of doing something, without actually doing something.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I shall use that as a reason next time I don't shave my legs.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I gave up Lent for Lent all the other Lents, though, so doing Lent this year is my way of keeping a little bit of New Orleans with me, like when you go to the Cub Scout circle jerk as a show of support for our boys overseas.

I mean, not you personally.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, I'd go.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:52 (twenty-two years ago)

But not in a bukkake kind of way, so get that out of your heads right now.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Perverts.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Jeez.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

It's pronounced "jizz" in America, toots.

Yay, Tep!

I can't skip a meal. I get all fuzzy headed. For lunch I had lentils with couscous soup and some dry salad because I forgot I ran out of dressing at work. Dry salad was interesting for a few seconds. I tried to convince myself that it was better this way because I could actually taste the vegetables. But yes, I was just being crazy.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 23 February 2004 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish I had a job interview or something important coming up to think about so I didn't have to constantly wonder when the guy is going to call and tell me I didn't get the job I interviewed for that I really really want. Instead, I just sit around worrying about it, afraid to get online because he might call, and don't end up getting anything done.

― NA (Nick A.), Monday, 23 February 2004 23:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Holy crap.

So, just before I moved out of New Orleans, my ex got a new kitten, which she got from some friends whose cat had had a large litter in a small apartment. Said friends were heavy smokers, and had one of those apartments that always smelled like smoke, you know?

So this cat -- I call her Fuzzabelle, but that isn't technically her name -- is a hyper little ball of fluff at first, the never-sit-still, bones-of-rubber kind of kitten (there are other kinds, honest), but she never meows. Not ever. When I left, a day after they got the kitten, the consensus was, "It must be all the damn smoke. She's got a cold or something."

So I mention it a few weeks, months, whatever, later, and they said, "No, it's weird, she'll open her mouth and scrunch up her face, and just this wheeze comes out. Goddamn smokers must've given her emphysema or something, I dunno."

I go back home for the wedding, do my Honor Guy thing with the tux and those metal things you put on your cuffs and what all, and I hang out for a week, and I chill with the kitten-on-the-verge-of-being-a-cat, and she's still just wheezing and everything, but less fluffy by this point.

Yesterday they brought her in to be spayed, and said, "Hey, by the way, she does this thing, with the meowing, where she doesn't, and it's this wheeze," so the vet took a look when they did the surgery -- and the cat doesn't have any vocal cords.

It's the fourth cat they've seen lately without vocal cords.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 03:27 (twenty-two years ago)

that's just.. odd.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 03:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I know! An epidemic of New Orleans cats who can't meow. It's like blood tests just showed David Lynch is Walt's legitimate heir, and he's running Disney World.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 03:31 (twenty-two years ago)

That would explain so many things, though.

That's great, Sam!

I am pissed off. Does anyone else hate condescending bitches? Cuz I do. I hate condescending bitches. This lady that works in our office is retired. She doesn't have to be here. But she's the Vice President's sister so she does what she wants and this involves getting in everyone's business and pretending to be our supervisor. So, today, she comes over to me, asks me a question, I start answering her, and then she's shaking her head like mad and interrupts me with, "No, No, No. You are wrong. No, No, no, That is not the way things are done."

This is me: "But, so-and-so told me specifically..."

Her: "No, NO No. That is wrong. THat is completely wrong. No, no no."

GRRR! GO AWAY!

Then I get pulled into this other guy's office about the same thing.

I say, "But I was told to do it this way. Have you talked to this guy yet (who gave me the order)?"

Answer: NO, No No. You should never ask him what to do. You should ask this other lady.

Earlier Bitch approaches me a few minutes later and I say what the guy said.

She says: no, No no. You should never ask that other lady. She doesn't know anything.

Crimeny.

Could you follow that story?

Uh. Which is that, again?

I've failed to listen to your show for weeks, now, Huck. But maybe I'll remember this week.

I came back from dance rehearsals. I'm taking part in this dance thing (along with the infamous Jake) and we will be dancing. Along with some other guy. By apparently coincidence, the song the choreographer (who, for this recurring project, works with men who have never danced to create dances) chose is the Shaggs, "My Pal Foot Foot".

It's sweet. But my entire body is achey now.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 02:20 (twenty-two years ago)

But it's been a good week and I think I'm gonna have some nice stuff, lotsa new cdn poppy stuff (plus Biz Markie), to play.

― huck, Wednesday, 25 February 2004 02:51 (twenty-two years ago)

GenCon -- the big convention, part fan and part pro, for gaming. I'm not actually that active of a gamer, despite writing them, but it's local now, and it's the kind of thing I would've been nuts about when I was a kid, probably. Never been to a gaming convention in my life, so I figured, if I'm going to go (and the girlfriend all but insisted on it), may as well do the whole thing.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 03:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Casuistry, this dance news happily amazes me! :-)

my sick days off in the past are killing me. my check last month was a thousand dollars short. this month: 1400 short. :( I have just enough to pay my rent, car insurance and that's it. tips from ships will have to feed me and give me gas for the rest of the month. and my car's really fucked up right now (tie rod ends i'm afraid.)

If I grow silent here soon it will be because my phone's been cut off.

or i've starved to death.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 13:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Make sure you don't tell her about your line of business. If there's one thing I've learnt about the Sopranos, it's that psychiatrists wear short skirts.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 13:25 (twenty-two years ago)

No they don't.

mine doesn't, either. they wouldn't compliment his figure as much.

― Kingfish Beatbox (Kingfish), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 13:34 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah mine doesn't either. and she doesn't care about my business personal or otherwise. she's more like a medical doctor who doesn't make you get naked.

Hi monkeys. Today I am determined not to get frustrated/stir crazy/obsessive about being unemployed like I do every day. If I start to get antsy, I'm going to punish myself by making myself go jogging.

Anyways, tonight we go see Mary Timony. Huzzah.

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 14:30 (twenty-two years ago)

well, i've finally made a decision.
I'm giving this town, this job, this LIFE six more months.
I've made a vow that on Sept. 1, or sooner if at all possible, I will quit my job and move somewhere else. In Canada.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 14:38 (twenty-two years ago)

This is my first time meeting with her, im expecting her to have a beard. All shrinks seem to, damn Freud complex.

― Chris V (Chris V), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

congrats on the decision. big decisions and commitments can be freeing.

we're watching "Where the Red Fern Grows" and the kids are begging me to fast foward through the Osmonds songs. hilarious.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel like six months is sort of a wussy way to do it, but that also gives me time to become well-prepared, to figure out where I'm going and what I'm going to do once I get there, and also to see to finish a few things I'm working on here that I believe in.
Also, I'm not moving to another prairie city. But if I did, the only acceptable one would be Wpg. Or maaaaybe Edmonton. But I've lived all my W.O. Mitchell fantasies out.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 14:45 (twenty-two years ago)

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs were the "surprise guest" openers for the Liars last night (shockah). Karen O's mullet is out of fucking control. And after five songs, I wanted to throw myself off the balcony. Morning all.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Hello Jeanne.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 14:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Jeanne, PLEASE tell me she was rocking the one fingerless glove

― Kingfish Beatbox (Kingfish), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 14:48 (twenty-two years ago)

...on her penis.

― Chris V (Chris V), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I couldn't see if she was rocking the glove (I'm assuming you mean the black one) because I was way the frig up in the balcony. But she did have on sparkly elf booties. (Sadly, not on her penis.) Her mullet is down to her mid-back. I don't know whether to be impressed or not.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 14:57 (twenty-two years ago)

you think she wears a mullet extension?

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 14:58 (twenty-two years ago)

on her penis

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Jeanne, by wanting to throw yourself off the balcony, did you mean it was GOOD?

I wanted yeah yeah yeahs tickets, but I had to pay for Nick's too so I wouldn't have to go alone. But then I went online to buy them and discovered I'd have to pay $15 per ticket plus a surcharge of $5.25 per ticket for good ol' ticketmaster. So, let's see (*bleepy noises as I calculate*)... $40.50 plus tax. Methinks not.

But yeah, Mary Timony is going to be great. I've seen her before.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 15:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey Chicago Lady!
I know you've not been there THAT long, but I'm reading a very interesting book called The Devil in the White City which is about the World's Exposition Chi-Town hosted in 1893, and I'm dying to visit now. Of course, there's enough foreshadowing in the book, which I'm reading remarkably slowly, that I realize Chicago ain't the same as it was 110 yrs ago, and that the Fair probably met a bad end, since I'd never heard of it before grabbing this book.
But, uh, no question, really, I was just reading it last night and thinking, DAMN!

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Who is that by, Huck?

I just started reading "Goodbye Johnny Thunders." It's pretty good, very different from my regular romantic comedy reads.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 17:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi. I went for a walk. First I went to Reckless, where I bought the first Father Ted DVD (the one we don't already have) used for like $15. Then I went to the pawn shop, where I bought Election on video for $2. Then I bought a mini frozen pizza and Pepsi to have for lunch. Aw yeah, it's a party.

Huck, that same Chicago World Expo (or at least setting up for it) is also important in that Chris Ware graphic novel "Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Boy in the World."

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 20:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris,
It's just the mounting sense that THIS LIFE will continue as is, unabated for the next 60 years if I don't willfully do something. I have a great fondness for this city and this region, but I've done all I can for it.
I mean, one of the reasons I've so soured on music writing is that I've spent the last three years cloistered away, chained to my desk, facing AWAY from the window and the world. Doing interviews by telephone mostly.
The whole reason I wanted to get into journalism and writing, not the whole reason, for surely I love writing, but the reason I decided to pursue this as a way of life, a calling, is that I didn't want to be locked up in an office. I wanted to be out, talking to people, asking questions, learning, discovering, breathing AIR.
I'm thinking about taking a job at small rural community paper somewhere. For most of them, the sole requirment is that you have a car and a camera. I have neither, but I can get. I wouldn't necessarily want to spend the rest of my life covering Betty Lou's ribbon-winning flan and hog prices, but for a year or so, it would make a remarkable difference in my outlook.
I just need to get out of my context.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 20:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, that's certainly understandable. Any place in particular you're thinking of?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 20:55 (twenty-two years ago)

If I'm gonna go rural, probably interior of BC, urban, Toronto or Mtl, even though they're such played out towns.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 20:56 (twenty-two years ago)

You can imagine which of those options has my vote.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I need to make out, stat.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, and I'm familiar with both places and have friends in both regions, but I think I would be happier, for now, in a small, resortish type town. I think better in the country.
And most of the places I've been looking at are fairly close to Vancouver, like 4-6 hours away, and my sister lives there, and I could easily pop down to the NW US and explore actual NEW places (which is really what's killing me about Reg-Town, I could walk to work or anywhere else blindfolded and backwards) and milder winters and new faces with no baggage. And no grudges. I have so many grudges here, and I think at first I thought it was kinda funny to be obsessively grudge-holding, but I really feel like I've been leading with my spite lately, and that's just shitty and non-productive.

How's your life-change going?

Nichole, I made a vow last night that I would quit my job Sept. 1. I'm giving myself six months to prepare (basically, pay off my visa, get a car...though those two seem sorta opposed to each other).
I'm thinking there's going to be some Smog in the air(waves) tonight, Knock Knock.

― Huck, Wednesday, 25 February 2004 22:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm rushing to post, as I'm shivering like mad, after being caught in the freak storm that was supposed to happen tomorrow. Wanna bet this wouldn't happen if I'd my armour on? I've been here for an hour though, and stopped feeling like a wet, dripping dishrag.

Anyone got a body blow-dryer? Ugh.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)

isn't that why they call them FREAK storms, because they show up when they're not supposed to?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 26 February 2004 09:47 (twenty-two years ago)

For what it's worth, you all told me off during part VII, saying it was actually part VI. So by that logic, this *should* be part 8.

If that helps at all.

Luna - thanks for the IM the other night after I'd been moody. I'm still a bit down about the whole thing, but hey, it'll go away.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 26 February 2004 09:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Always, anytime, all the time, I'm here, sweets. xx

Our car (really Sarah's car) got broken into last night while we were eating in a restaurant. Passenger side window completely smashed, stereo gone. Insurance doesn't cover it of course. We still managed to make it to the Mary Timony show, only missing most of the first opening band. Welcome to the big city, I guess.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 26 February 2004 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah find yourself a good glass fixer. Mine knows me by name now, which is sad.

(and never leave anything in your car, even empty bags)

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 26 February 2004 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

so, uh, did anyone listen to anything interesting last night?

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Thursday, 26 February 2004 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I've been listening to Mike Jones & Magnificent "1st Round Draft Picks" for the past couple of days. Goddamn! Some fine hot hip hop from Houston/Ft. Worth. Haven't been this excited by a record since Obie Trice.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 26 February 2004 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick that's awful! I've had my car broken into before & it's just so horrible.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 February 2004 15:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Dear Person who has taken my place in the office as token hipster: SHUUUUUUUUUT UPPPPP already.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 26 February 2004 15:27 (twenty-two years ago)

For Sarah and NA -- find the focker who broke into your car and I'll crowbar his/her ribs for you.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 26 February 2004 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I once chased a guy I caught breaking into my car, cops-style. He was running in and out of apartment complexes and I kept cutting him off, making him slide over the top of my hood. It was sweet.

'cept I didn't get my stereo/jewelry/sunglasses back. :(

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 26 February 2004 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Did you actually catch him Sam?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 February 2004 15:59 (twenty-two years ago)

i was calling 911 at the same time and the finally told me I had to stop driving so they could catch up with me.

they caught him shortly after and arrested him but he had dumped my stuff. bastard. should've just ran him over.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Sam is bold! :-)

Last night was the night of MUCH RAIN. But I was inside for all of it, and that was good, because I could hear it outside -- very cool feeling, but it doesn't top when I could sit out in my old garage and hear the rain all around me and feel snug.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm glad it didn't rain here or my car wouldn't smelled like wet dog this morning. Anyway, it's at the glass doctor's now.

Thanks for the kitty pic, Pink. Congrats! It's my new background! ha ha, what an honor. :-)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 26 February 2004 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Puppies don't have paddles!

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 27 February 2004 00:31 (twenty-two years ago)

They could. You don't know.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 27 February 2004 00:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyway, I skipped the puppies and was concentrating on the spanking.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 27 February 2004 00:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Spanking Chris, not the puppies. I don't spank puppies.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 27 February 2004 00:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Not even euphemistacally? I can't say I'm not a bit disappointed.

But you're perfectly happy to toss them over the surfaces of lakes, I see.

of course puppies have paddles. they can't work joysticks.

(/nerd humor)

― Kingfish Beatbox (Kingfish), Friday, 27 February 2004 00:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I ignored the picture of the puppy in favor of talking about spanking Chris.

Are you happy now, Mr. Pedantic?

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 27 February 2004 00:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I was, until you called me Mr Pedantic!

I blame me. I'm sorry, I do just go for the quick knee-jerk post way too often.
Sometimes, though, brevity is the sould of you know what. Not that I'm accusing myself of that.

I think I'm going to pack up and move to a mountaintop in Nepal with only sherpas and snowmonkeys to keep me company. Less hassle. I'm really not feeling like I fit anywhere, so isolation would be okay, right? Right?

Fuck.

i leave for the west coast in 12 hours.

This time tomorrow where will we be
On a spaceship somewhere sailing across an empty sea

This time tomorrow what will we know
Well we still be here watching an in-flight movie show

I’ll leave the sun behind me and watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by
Seven miles below ma I can see the world and it ain’t so big at all

This time tomorrow what will we see
Field full of houses, endless rows of crowded streets

I don’t where I’m going, I don’t want to see
I feel the world below me looking up at me

Leave the sun behind me, and watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by
And I’m in perpetual motion and the world below doesn’t matter much to me

This time tomorrow where will we be
On a spaceship somewhere sailing across any empty sea

This time tomorrow, this time tomorrow

Hi May!
That exchange is almost exactly the same as one that I took part in last Friday when I went "out for drinks" with coworkers for the second or third time since May, 2001.
So I relieved myself. Er, relieved my boredom. I got drunk fast. And then I want to a rap show.

I like that pic upthread, Prude. I forgot to tell you that earlier.

So this morning, on the subway, some guy (accidentally) smacked me square on top of my head with his open hand. I said, "OW" kinda loud and then started laughing. But it did hurt, dammit.

yeah jeanne, he might have jabbed you with a hypodermic needle or something. that kind of thing happens on law & order sometimes.

Two of my female colleagues (one gay, one straight) were spanking a male colleague (gay) with a wooden ruler in the photocopying room at 10am this morning. There's obviously something in the air.

just had to ID some kids who were chunking rocks at my window. Did you do things like this when you were in school? set fires, try to break windows, purposefully break chairs, start fist fights in the middle of class, tell teachers to 'fuck off' or 'suck a dick'?

what in the hell is wrong with these kids?

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Friday, 27 February 2004 17:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I hope ID in this case means "make them beat the living shit out of each other and give an A to the last one standing".

I was an accomplice in what should have gone in the most braindead Grade 8 mischief caper hall of fame.
My buddy and I, having recently decided to become badasses, went on a vandalism spree of our neighborhood. We tipped over mailboxes and spray-painted many local landmarks. Including a big fat, red Motley Crue logo on the side of our school. Then we showed up the next day with red speckles all over our parkas.
"But I don't even LIKE Motley Crue!" was not the smartest defense.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Friday, 27 February 2004 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

The only time I was suspended in high school, it was for telling my English teacher to fuck off (outside of class, in the hall). It wasn't unprovoked, though.

The rest of that, though, no -- there was one day in Biology where everyone kind of trashed the classroom, but we had a substitute that day, and it was for all intents and purposes the remedial class for trouble students.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 27 February 2004 17:56 (twenty-two years ago)

they don't get suspended for cussing us out here. the discpline measures are a joke.

My science teacher was telling us about the days lecture on parameciums and I yelled out "wow, my nipples are hard." I went to the office.

My friend wrote in huge marker on one of his books, "Betsey Langas Rides My Hog." She was our math teacher and didn't like that too much.

my brother's a T.A. at an elementary school and he says that the kids there taunt him with the fact that he can't do anything to them. These are like 8 and 9 yr-olds, and they're all like "if you try to do anything, I'm gonna tell my mom that you tried to TOUCH me"

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Friday, 27 February 2004 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah the kids are not afraid of anything. they're always threatening to sue and shit. i'm like 'go for it. all I own is a crappy old car. you have more cash than me."

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Friday, 27 February 2004 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

the middle school i went to was a nightmare. kids shouldnt be dealing coke in 8th grade

― kephm, Friday, 27 February 2004 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

i guess that's part of the problem right there. either their parents are in jail or on drugs or they are.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Friday, 27 February 2004 18:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I got in trouble for running to the front of the line in kindergarten, but that's just because I was a little princess.

Let's see... middle school... Yeah, I almost took part in a school walk-out protesting not being allowed to wear shorts, but it never happened. I always showed up whenever there was supposed to be a fight in the halls, but so did the teachers. That's about it.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 February 2004 20:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I got expelled from Catholic school for calling one of the nuns a bitter old cunt, but it was three days before my last day of school anyway, so while my mother was really fucking angry with me, it could have been way worse.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 27 February 2004 20:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I was too goody-goody to tell the nuns in high school to fuck off with their mountains of homework, but that's prolly cause the school cost way too much to go to to risk being suspended.

I'm back for a day, and already I'm a chastity belt. It's just like fifth grade after Christmas break.

You're aiming too high again, Tep. Could be worse uses for a Friday.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Friday, 27 February 2004 20:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I won't tell them, if you won't

clown sex music

Oh my god if I don't hear clown sex music in the next forty-eight hours I'm gonna go make love to a plastic Ronald McDonald.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 27 February 2004 21:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Taking that into consideration, what, pray tell, happens if you DO hear clown sex music in the next 48 hours?

BLATANT SELF-PROMOTION: I've put a couple of songs I've recorded recently on this website. It's Geocities, so after a couple of people download them, my traffic limit will be overloaded and no one will be able to get them for an hour, so if you can't get them, try later. I'll hopefully be gradually adding more songs later, but since we have a dial-up connection, it takes about 45 minutes to upload each song. Anyways, I put my two favorites up. In "Dead Machine" I was trying to sing like Bryan Ferry (pretty much unsuccessfully), and in "This Is Your World," I've got a bunch of distorted drum machines and keyboards and some funky guitar.

I never know what to do with myself on Sunday night... hardly seems like I should go out and do anything 'cause it's a 'school night', but I won't be able to sleep later, so what does it matter?

Maybe I should get drunk.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 1 March 2004 00:30 (twenty-two years ago)

This would be a sweet time to do your knitting while listening to classic radio programs.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 1 March 2004 09:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Sunday evening I put together my new bookcases (complete with extra shelving that I bought separately, as I wanted 10 shelves instead of six on each) and put all my CDs on them. I guess I shouldn't worry about this, as a person with all his music in a database, but the thrill of pleasure I feel at the sight of them all lined up rather than in unwieldy stacks, seemed a bit pathetic.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 1 March 2004 13:24 (twenty-two years ago)

If you're pathetic Martin then I'm that to the nth power. Matt took out a shelf of my books to make room for some CDs and stuff, and it had been faintly bugging me for ages that they leapt from B to G in the alphabet, with the missing books all higgledy piggledy on the bedroom wardrobe. Last night I snapped, sorted them out, and feel worringly at peace with the world as a result.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 1 March 2004 13:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Let me just say that Chris Thompson's voice is sweet sweet honey to my ears. Not that I would want honey in my ears, that would be sticky. But yeah, the show last night was great.

I am sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy though. This morning the cats knocked over a tape rack and I thought it was someone trying to break in the back door. Ay de mi.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 1 March 2004 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris Thompson like Circus Lupus and Monorchid? I may be waaay off the mark here.
We're getting our new photocopier today, which will undoubtedly mean at least 3 weeks of hell as everyone in the building will expect that I have the knowledge to work it.
And, a local band that I've sorta supported as a music writer for a long time just signed to J@de Tr33, which is good for them, and I'm kinda hoping they'll thank me in their liner notes. That would be cool But I'm not holding my breath, because I'm not, like, friends with them or anything. But they're pretty good.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Monday, 1 March 2004 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, that's right, Huck. As in:
this ILM thread.

I went shopping this weekend. I was like, fuck it, yo, I'm buying myself some shit. I don't give a fuck. And so on. So I did. I got two warm weather tops, a lightweight jacket, two David Bowie albums, a necklace, a bracelet, the newest Venus magazine, pastel stripey knee high socks, AND a pair of legwarmers. AND I got my turn signals fixed. Take that, terrorists! You better not mess with me!

Plus, Nick and I had band practice and started working on another song.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 1 March 2004 15:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I bought two CDs. The first two since my neighbourhood record store closed down in January. And while I was in the stupid mall store, I ran into my old (record) dealer! I was so embarrassed, except, he was in there too! And he's going to have a new shop opening in April! And he's already taking orders! So I made one!
And I bought the Triplets of Belleville ost and Kanye West (which I can't get enough of).
Venus Magazine? Does it have ladies in bikinis?

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Monday, 1 March 2004 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Huck, It's a women in indie music sort of zine with crafty stuff in it too. I was pretty surprised at how Chicago-centric it was this time around.

I just posted on craigslist looking for a way to get fit. Any better ideas?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 1 March 2004 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't knit. Is this wrong? Does it make me less of a woman?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 1 March 2004 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

of course not.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 1 March 2004 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

unless you're talking about your bones knitting, in which case, yes, that does make you less of a woman.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Monday, 1 March 2004 17:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't sew, either, but I can cook like a motherfucker.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 1 March 2004 17:40 (twenty-two years ago)

An editor has nibbled on my Fashion/Grooming/Self-Improvement column pitch! Truly, the best pitch I ever wrote. He wants to see a sample column soon!
Best of all, it's not my usual editor. It's another place, not the place I sell most of my stuff, who asked for a column submission over a year ago and never even got back to me on the three samples I gave them. Jerks! I'm showing them!

The pay will be very modest, but it basically means, I'm gonna get redone, updated, made better, like Steve Austin (not the wrestler), and it's gonna subsidized and tax deductible!
In six months, I'm-a be a hunk!

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Monday, 1 March 2004 17:45 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, and also, I'll have a vehicle to write what I write best: personal, featurish, funny.
I mean, I like music, and I like writing about music, but it's definitely NOT where I shine.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Monday, 1 March 2004 17:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh fuck.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 1 March 2004 18:07 (twenty-two years ago)

huh?

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Monday, 1 March 2004 18:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sorry - I mean that sounds really great, Huck!

(it was an unrelated fuck)

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 1 March 2004 18:18 (twenty-two years ago)

(I'm just having a sort of shitty morning all of a sudden)

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 1 March 2004 18:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't knit either. I like to make collages sometimes and I used to make zines, but lately my version of DIY only goes so far as buying things OTHER people made. I think we've had this discussion before? But anyway, I like a lot of the music (and visual) artists in Venus. I was excited to learn Christa D0nner is from Chicago. woo hoo!

Who here goes to gyms? I wish I could find something more fun, like punk rock aerobics (above), but I'm thinking maybe I should just join Curves...?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 1 March 2004 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

i just started going back to the gym last week and its quite possibly the worst choice i have ever made in my life.

― Chris V (Chris V), Monday, 1 March 2004 18:21 (twenty-two years ago)

i just cancelled my Y membership though I still a month left. i'm going to try and actually use it for the next month.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 1 March 2004 18:22 (twenty-two years ago)

My brother keeps trying to get me to come to Y with him on Sundays and I'm having none of it, but he's persistent.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Monday, 1 March 2004 18:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Huh. It turns out the gym closest to my house (Curv3s) is closed on Sundays. Isn't that kind of bizarre? I mean, the weekend would be my primo time for working out. Maybe I should have my own punk rock aerobics in my living room.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 1 March 2004 20:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Doesn't Cur\/es market itself as something for the working woman on her lunchbreak?
I don't know. I would do aerobics to Junior Senior.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Monday, 1 March 2004 20:32 (twenty-two years ago)

curves also markets itself towards "big" women. you don't really fit that category Sarah.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 1 March 2004 20:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, they do basically, Huck, but they're closed from 10:30 to 2 during the week, so WTF?!

Ok, new plan. I'm going to make the best aerobics workout mixes ever for myself and THEN start working out tomorrow night.

xpost ha ha, but I'm almost 6'!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 1 March 2004 20:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Check it out. I have delegated my responsibility to lose weight to ILE here. I'm real management material.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 1 March 2004 21:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm at about the lowest point I've been at in a long time right now. My job sucks, I had an awful conversation with someone close to me that I've had a feeling was coming, but really didn't want to be a part of this afternoon, it's raining and ugly, I woke up this morning to my dog puking on the foot of my bed, I'm short on my rent and I don't even have enough fucking money to buy my kid the books he wants from his booklist at school. I have a quarter tank of gas to last me two weeks, enough money to feed him shit ass food and I hope to fuck I have enough dog food left.

I'd like to call a do-over now, please.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 01:44 (twenty-two years ago)

aw, luna, that sounds pretty crappy! i might not know you very well, but i've seen you around for it to make me sad that you're having such a shit time. i'm sure that the important stuff will work itself out and the rest can just bugger off.

p.s. last week, i was talking about how pretty you are. not entirely relevant, but just seemed an appropriate time to share!

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 02:17 (twenty-two years ago)

aw thank you darlin - I know it won't last, but damn if I couldn't use a fairy godmother right about now.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 02:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Huck: Sweet.

Luna: Knitting is fun (or so I hear) but of course you're not less of a woman for not knitting. (xpost, ouch! I hope you have a friend who you can convince to host you & son for dinner, or something... You'd be welcome to come over here but I don't think you have enough gas.)

Everyone: E-mail or IM me if you want to see the video footage of the dance. It was pretty silly and the video is small so you don't see a few details but if you want to see me flail about, it can be done. Not the same as seeing it live, alas...

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 02:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Hiya Chris!
That reminds me I still need to visit the post office.
Luna: My heart goes out to you. You seem (from what I've read) to be person of very strong will. I know resolve isn't food, but I have faith in you.

― Huck, Tuesday, 2 March 2004 04:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Hugs, Luna, I feel you sister. Try not to let it get you down too much. All bad things do pass. Stay strong.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 04:20 (twenty-two years ago)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 09:12 (twenty-two years ago)

the new photocopier knows 20 different languages and dialects.
it can collate and staple.
it is so much better than me.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I think it's kinda funny that I made this big decision to start exercising yesterday, but I also decided I'd be starting TODAY. So I haven't actually done any work yet.

Cheer up, Luna. :-) Want to be in my little aerobics class with me? We could wear outfits like the women from 20 minute workout?!!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 15:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Today is the 2 year anniversary of me & my boy's first date(the first time we met). Awwww!
I feel a bit sad today actually. I don't like being on my own in the office as I have too much time to reflect on bad things. It makes me cross (and sad at the same time) because I think about our situation & how things seem to keep going wrong for us, just when we think we are getting somewhere. Sorry for moaning about this, as I know I'm in a fantastic position compared to some, but it just gets me down sometimes.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 15:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I just had new rollers fitted to the photocopier here. Next time a tutor gets stressed at me because they can't clear a paper jam, at least I can say 'well don't look at me buster, them rollers are BRAND SHINY NEW'. My life is just full of small excitements such as this.

Luna, I can highly recommend kicking a photocopier (or possibly a small annoying animal) as a mood-enhancer.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 15:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey dudes. Strange up and down day today - is it possible to feel drunk on half a can of fizzy pop? And then I saw Luna's woes and I feel terrible sad for her and wondering what at all I could do to help her or make her feel better.

not to break up the aerobics and kitties photos, but I was just grabbing a coffee in the cafeteria and saw that today's special is tuna salad sandwich for $2.50. What the hell is so special about that. That's about what a tuna salad sandwich SHOULD cost? You want to make it special, put a five-dollar bill in there.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Tuna is gross. It is eSPECIALly gross.

God damn. Someone brought in cheesecake. It's only 11am!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:10 (twenty-two years ago)

i like the tuna.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I had tuna for lunch. it was ok. It's the Snickers and Jaffa cakes that followed that are making me feel queasy I think.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, how I want some cheesecake. I have been craving cookies and cakes and all of that. Okay, that's usual, but MORE than usual. I need some serious comfort food.

Hugs to Luna and PP and all who need them...

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Tuna is awesome. Seared with ginger sauce. Yummers.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:27 (twenty-two years ago)

If there is any tuna out in the world with my name on it, you can have it Sam! (oh wait, x post, you guys will have to fight it out)

Hey, JuliaA. I suck for not writing you back.

So, JF, you wrote s.t. for Venus? Do you do that often?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

It's only 930, but I think I'd eat that right now.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks, all of you, for being so fantastic. I know it'll be ok, I was just in a shitty mood last night.

I kiss you all... some of you more than once!

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

You lost me, McLusky. I did what for Venus?

so I had the "special." weren't no big thing. but it did have green onions, which I like. but still, why would you bother calling it tuna salad w/o g.o.?
And I spent 5 minutes figuring out how to turn the Photocopybot 8000 on this morning.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Kick it.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

i've never had tuna salad with green onions

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

you, my friend, are missing out.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't like raw onions so don't think I would like this. My fave tuna salad is basic: boiled eggs, mayonaisse, pickles. A slice of tomato on the sandwich is nice too.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 18:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Oooh, I like pickles in there. That would've made my sandwich worthy of being called special. But like, I didn't even get any side dish or anything with it. So where's the special, HUH?

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 18:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, green onions sound gross to me too. I just like tuna fish and mayo, myself. A tomato slice sounds like a good addition. But tuna doesn't sound at all appetizing right now.

I had a fried egg sandwich the other day which had two kinds of cheese on it, one of which was this really sharp cheddar, and it was a truly wonderful thing.

I need a Boston Creme Pie, and stat. Or a chocolate layer cake.

I keep scrolling back to that Keith Sweat pic because it makes me laugh.

(no prob, Sarah. sounds like you're enjoying the city. :) )

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 18:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Tuna, mayo, pickles, onions, a little mustard, pepper - on sourdough toast.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 18:31 (twenty-two years ago)

i have an enormous hate for tuna fish sandwiches. probably because I ate so many of them as a child.

― Chris 'The Big Ragu' V (Chris V), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 18:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, you guys are making me want to vomit. I hate tuna. Probably more than any other food.

Yesterday I temped at a bank. I spent the entire day stuffing envelopes. Literally. It was kind of lame, but it was made bearable by the fact that I was really tired and was probably incapable of handling much more.

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel this way about pb&j

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Poor pb&js! I like mine with good ol' strawberry jam, wheat bread, and extra crunchy peanut butter. But, you know what? I bet we've already had a thread on this.

I ate lots of sardines as a kid. SARDINES! FROM THE CAN! WITH MUSTARD!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I gotta chip in on the sandwich talk.

PB&J -- one of my favorite foods lately has been this thing that morphed out of an adaptation of a sandwich they make at Bayonne, in New Orleans. The Bayonne version uses smoked Asian-seasoned duck and marinated red onions, neither of which is exactly a staple for me, so I used bacon, goddammit. Two pieces of bread. Cashew butter on one slice. Tabasco pepper jelly on the other. So far, it's just a variation on PB&J, pushing the PB in one direction, towards cashew, and the jelly in another. (Nick and Sarah can stop reading at this point.) THEN YOU ADD BACON. The important thing is to cook the bacon very crispy, and to put it in the sandwich while it's still hot. I don't know why, but that makes a big difference -- the pepper jelly melts onto the bacon a little so you get almost caramelized-ish spicy bits in there.

Tuna --

I always said I hated tuna sandwiches as a kid, but I never had one. They just looked odd, this homogenous mixture between bread. I'm not sure where I got off dissing tuna as weird, given the strange things my mother gave me for lunch (it's an Old Family, a crusts-cut-off finger sandwiches sort of family), but whatever.

As a result, though, now I genuinely don't like tuna sandwiches, or canned tuna of any kind. When I make tuna salad, I make it with fresh grilled tuna.

I've been adding pickle relish to my tuna lately, it's really good.

Does anyone still eat baloney sandwiches? I see people at the deli loading up on baloney and immediately think "cheapskate". I'm very particular about my deli meat. In fact I drive 12 miles to a certain deli because they have Boars Head meats.

― Chris 'The Big Ragu' V (Chris V), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 19:11 (twenty-two years ago)

And it drives my wife nuts because I spend $9 a pound for certain meats.

― Chris 'The Big Ragu' V (Chris V), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 19:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I just discovered Boar's Head! I'd been searching for years (this is not an exaggeration) for natural-casing hot dogs, and Boar's Head is one of the only major companies that still makes them. So I tried their deli stuff, and it's good shit.

I don't eat baloney, but I eat mortadella, which is practically the same thing.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 19:16 (twenty-two years ago)

you have to drive 12 miles in woostah to find Boars Heads deli meats?

i love peanut butter and bacon sandwiches w/ toasted bread. but thats it, just bacon and pb

xpost

― kephm, Tuesday, 2 March 2004 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't eat bologna anymore - but when I used to, it was with ketchup and mustard 'cause then it just tasted like a flat hot dog to me.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 19:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I love a good sandwich.
Not surprisingly, I adore the Monte Cristo.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I used to eat salami and bologna sandwiches almost every day while going to grammar school. Gross.

I was addicted to pb&j as a kid. I never got sick of it, and I still eat pb&j a lot. Except now I can't get my damn jelly jar open.

Hi dudes,

I had some unusual meat today - chicken breast with lemon and cracked pepper (it was 1/2 price, ready cooked, at Sainsburys) which I put in a bagel with some cream cheese and jalapenos (my default sandwich filling these days). It was tasty.

Bologna - I still am not sure what bologna actually is. And I say this as someone who used to live in the real Bologna. So it's a bit like mortadella? I think I've told my mortadella story on here before - a friend of mine in Italy always used to buy the same brand of Mortadella as it was far and away his favourite. Suddenly, he couldn't buy it any more, and he was gutted - until he found out that the company had been using a "special ingredient" in their mortadella, namely pig excrememnt. The company was prosecuted and, I think, went out of business.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 13:02 (twenty-two years ago)

mmm yummy!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 13:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I'm not sure about the process/ingredients, but as far as the final product, American bologna is a lot like mortadella without the white chunks of fat, and with a more processed texture. Similar enough anyway that if you gave someone mortadella in a sandwich, and they'd never had it before, they'd probably say, "Damn, that's some good baloney!"

Unless it had been made with pig excrement. In which case it'd be more, "My baloney has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R..."

Julia, I hope everything's okay and that you've managed to get to sleep!

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 13:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I should start off this morning by telling you all that I rode the subway this morning face-to-crotch with....someone's cameltoe. I was sitting down, reading the paper, and when I looked up, well, there it was. And I proceded to stare at it.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

was it, um, a good cameltoe or a bad cameltoe? are there such distinctions? and did it stare back?

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 15:02 (twenty-two years ago)

OMG, poor Jeanne!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Did it spit at you Jeanne? I prefer to call it a moose-knuckle.

― Chris 'The Big Ragu' V (Chris V), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 15:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Cameltoe is kinda neutral don't you think? Actually no, to me it's good as it either makes me all horny or it's funny.

― Kenny Blankenship (Bryan), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 15:10 (twenty-two years ago)

but I suppose if you couldn't not look at it, for an extended period of time, it good make a person sorta hinky

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

It wasn't so knuckular as it was, you know, "Hi there." I mean, I've seen more defined knuckular activity in the past. Look, yoga pants aren't supposed to be so snug, you know what I mean?

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Yummy

― Kenny Blankenship (Bryan), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

oh man, that cameltoe probably stunk of yoga and soy products.

so, pickles in tuna sandwiches, c/d?

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 15:24 (twenty-two years ago)

You could take them out then put them back in - over and over again - and then just decide to add more mayo instead.

thanks a lot for the good wishes. i'm off to the doc in a bit (haha mistyped that as coc) (actaully that's pretty true for a lot of them).

what, pray tell, would a drag interaction be? i'm a chick, after all.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 18:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Speaking of drag queens^[1], this year I'm getting money back from the IRS for the first time ever. My first couple years of paying taxes, I owed; most of the middle, I didn't make enough money (sans loans) to be required to file, and nothing was withheld; one of the only years that wasn't true, I inherited money and owed taxes on that; this year, it's all about the Earned Income Credit.

I am! Not enough since moving, because I'm now more cautious about splattering paint on things, since I lost all but $50 of my security deposit on the last apartment thanks to flecks of oil paint here and there. One of these days I'll get around to getting a couple of cheap milk crates or something so I can just use them to paint on outside.

I was just called in this guy's office about something and made the mistake of asking what this weird thing was on his desk. It turns out he's a HUGE star trek fan so he started going off on all these models and collector's edition plates he has and how they're all worth a lot of money. Whenever I'd try to speak, he'd interrupt me with more fun facts. Then he said, "Oh! OH! Watch this!" and made me watch his screen saver through the whole cycle so I could see all the different ships and he could identify them. He even turned on his speakers so I could hear all the theme songs.

You guys need to chat it up more on this thread today. I'm craving the weekend. My sister and her bf are coming to visit for a week. :-)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 4 March 2004 17:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Chatty Cathy, that's my name!

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Thursday, 4 March 2004 17:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I hope you're not related to Cathy the comic strip character!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 4 March 2004 17:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Nah, Huck's not nearly that annoying. ;)

I'm doing a bit better since my doctor extravaganza yesterday. It sounds more interesting, calling it an extravaganza, just like it was more fun to imagine the IV bags as filled with martinis.

Thanks for being cool and supportive and stuff, everyone. I was really freaked out yesterday. Now I'm just my usual level of dazed.

I might have to stay with my parents for a little while. (grr the doctor took my mom's side on that). My mom's all like, oh, a week. Or a few weeks! I keep saying that maybe I'll just stay for a few days. Oh, the fun that will be had (sigh). But my mom said she'd make a cake (which is really cool of her, and also a ploy to lure me to stay longer). I'll bring my laptop along, so the internet can help keep me sane. Yay sanity!

That's great that your sister's coming, Sarah. Sisters are so cool.

My friend was just talking about going on vacation and partying with the ladies, aw yeah. And then he explained that "the ladies" is an old nickname for his hands. Hah.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 4 March 2004 17:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Nah, Huck's not nearly that annoying. ;)

Aaaack!

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Thursday, 4 March 2004 17:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Aw, you'd have to try harder than *that*... (and please don't)

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 4 March 2004 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

In not so annoying and related news, I talked to my sister last night for the first time in a few months. She's a nice girl.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Thursday, 4 March 2004 18:05 (twenty-two years ago)

How old is she?

I'm excited about my sister coming to visit. I like her bf too, but not like that. He has good taste in music/movies. Also, he's the one that looks like Charles in Charge which is kind of funny in itself.

Has anyone seen the Walkmen in concert? I think we're going to see them next week with our guests.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 4 March 2004 18:12 (twenty-two years ago)

No, but I saw JF*E several times. First time in Chi-town at the Empty Bottle!

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 4 March 2004 18:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Of course you're not, Huck. Kidding and all, y'know.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 4 March 2004 18:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I LOVE the Empty Bottle. It is my new second home. (Who is JF*E? I'm so out of it).

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 4 March 2004 18:25 (twenty-two years ago)

My sister is, what? 30? 31? 30. She's about three years older than me. So 30.
She actually called me though, which is weird, because I usually do the calling since she's not so good on the paying of bills and stuff like that. But I should go out to Vancouver and visit her this spring. I really should.
I sort of have this default derision of her, and it's pretty unfair of me. She's a really strong woman who's made some difficult choices (some that I disagreed with) and I should be a better brother to her. I'm a great brother to my younger bros, and I have been there when it mattered for my sis. Like when she needed to leave her husband 6 years ago, I took her dog and ran interference with the dude (whom I had considered a really good friend until some of his nastier traits only my sister had seen till then came to light) until she was set up okay.
I miss her, I guess, and hadn't thought about it until this came up on this thread. Damn you guys for making me have feelings. Ick.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Thursday, 4 March 2004 18:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Jonathan Fire*Eater. Three of the Walkmen were in it.

My cat's got a string or something coming out of its ass. So I locked it in the kitchen with the food and the litter box, hoping the problem will solve itself.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 4 March 2004 19:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Y'know, NA, Bryan did start a Disgusting Thread with just that sort of thing in mind.

nick, you need to pull it out slowly and carefully. they can knot up in the intestines and kill the cat.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:13 (twenty-two years ago)

This happened to my dog the other day and I had to deal with it... the 'pop' at the end was almost more than I could take.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:19 (twenty-two years ago)

McLusky, yes, I did that review. I'm a sucker for stuff that sounds like it can skin a watermellon.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, my cats have had blades of grass in their butts before. Someone holds the cat, the other person SLOWLY removes it. For the love of socks, don't yank it out or you risk it breaking inside your pet.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:21 (twenty-two years ago)

HOLY FUCK.

I just broke the worst fight I've ever personally seen in my own fucking room. We have our desks in a circle today for reading and it turned into the circle of death. Two boys squared off, chest to chest, and I jumped in between and tried to push them apart. Then blows started coming.

I was trying to get the biggest guy in a headlock to drag him off the smaller one but he's bigger and stronger than and ended up dragging me around while he pummelled the other kid. I finally got my arm around his neck tight enough for him to step away and three boys jumped on the smaller guy to keep him from jumping after him. Then the guy I had a hold of threw me off and went back after him.

It took me and four other guys both trying to keep them apart and it spilled out into the hall before another teacher helped out.

Both boys were bleeding and eyes already swelling. The nurse just came up with some ice for me since I caught some of the blows. :(

stupid fucking job.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm so glad Nick is at home alone and has to deal with this himself. MWAH HA HA!*

(*This is why I should never be a mom)

x-post - God damn. I am so sorry to hear that, Sam.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:46 (twenty-two years ago)

The cat thing took care of itself. I did try to pull it out, but the cat acted like I was hurting her, so I decided she could handle it. And she did.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:51 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, cat's do that when you mess with their ass.

Oh Sam, that sucks. I hope you're okay, like not bruised or anything.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh chica, what a fucking day. Hope you're okay, baby - I'm around if you need reinforcements.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel fine but the school's covering their asses. the nurse came up here and took my blood pressure, temp, and "observed" me for a few minutes. And then I had to fill out an incident report.

My head right at the top of my forehead and my left arm hurts. I'll be fine.

dammit dammit dammit. . .

they sent the instigator, the big guy, to CEP (jail school). I've had this kid for two years. He gets in trouble a lot and doesn't do his work but is BRILLIANT.

I've bent over backwards to try and get him to live up to his potential. call his mom and uncle (dad-sub) all the time. Make deals with him, etc. He never lifts a finger to meet me halfway.

I think about him a lot and know that if I left this year, not having been able to get to him somehow, i would feel very defeated.

Just yesterday I went to him and told him I knew he didn't do work in my class b/c it was too easy and bored him. I asked him if he wanted to do a special project instead that I would count for his grade. He agreed to read something with me and we could have discussions about it etc. He said he wanted to read a biography about Martin Luther KIng.

Today, knowning he would be disruptive, I asked if wanted to go to the library to start looking for some books and he eagerly accepted. Shortly he came back b/c the library was being used by a class and they wouldn't let him stay.

So he came back. And started a fight. Now they're shipping him off and I probably won't have him in my class ever again.

I want to cry now.

I got stuck in an elevator in Ottawa once. I was...15. My friend and I were engaged in an act of horseplay and got the elevator stuck. We were in there for about half an hour waiting for the service guy to set us free.
We thought his name was Otis, because that's what the crest on his jacket said.

But my birthday's coming up in June, and it would be awesome if you guys all got together and chipped in and bought me a ukelele. Really, that would be the bee's knees.

I'm just mad because I sent her a purchase order over a month ago, the customer just called because they haven't gotten it yet, and then I emailed her twice, FAXed her a few times, and left messages. Finally, the vendor gets back to me and says, "Oh yeah, I never got that purchase order." But the FAX went through, BITCH! ha ha

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 5 March 2004 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

37 minutes left.

(Until I go out to dinner at a brewpub, pick up my Green Lantern action figure at the comic store oh shut up, and hit the grocery store. I've been home for three hours. Bwahaha.)

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 5 March 2004 22:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I want a banjo.

I plan on drinking some cheap beer tonight.

And I never went to work at all today. Suck on that.

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 5 March 2004 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

just got home, having beer and tuna fish, work again in 4 hours. maybe a booty call if the bootee isn't passed out drunk by the time I get off.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Friday, 5 March 2004 22:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Why do they call them "action figures" when they don't get you any action?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 6 March 2004 04:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, he's Green Lantern, he gets alien action!

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 6 March 2004 04:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, that's not what you asked at all, though. I missed a pronoun. Possibly proving your point.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 6 March 2004 04:40 (twenty-two years ago)

And the pronounce you were missing was "her".

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 6 March 2004 08:17 (twenty-two years ago)

2:31 am = drunk.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 6 March 2004 10:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I really need a keyboard breathalyzer.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 6 March 2004 20:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Finally saw Return of the King last night. Have many questions. #1 Why did I sit through that movie? #2 So who exactly was the "Lord" again? #3 Okay, so Frodo walked through the Stations of the Cross carrying the burden of mankind's sins. So why is Aragorn the Returning King? How many freakin' Christ figures does this saga need?
SPOILER ALERT#4 That scene where Frodo wakes up and everybody comes in laughing...am I the only one who felt they were laughing at me because there was still another half hour to go?

Tep: Which GL? (I'm a Hal Jordan man myself)

― Huck, Sunday, 7 March 2004 03:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Hal Jordan from Kingdom Come :) I haven't actually picked it up yet, we ended up getting dinner at a Mediterranean place instead of the brewpub, so it was a more elaborate dealie.

I vaguely remember seeing the solicitation for some Kingdom Come action figures at the store months ago, and since I had lots of money at the time, I said, "Oh, could you put those aside for me?" Forgot all about it until they called to let me know they were in.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 7 March 2004 03:50 (twenty-two years ago)

also, I'm sorry Ned.

That's cool, Tep. But, uh, I always thought that was Alan Scott in KC. I don't think he's ever explicitly identified though. But those figures look awesome.

― Huck, Sunday, 7 March 2004 04:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, hm, you might be right -- I know they're both in the big fancy KC poster, cause it was right in line of sight at the store in New Orleans, so whenever I was waiting in line I'd sit there going, "Okay, that's Mr Terrific, and that's Speedy/Arsenal/whoever, and who's that?" But I'm not sure which one is actually Green Lantern, now that you mention it.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 7 March 2004 04:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I now have copies of all the Haydn quartets on my iPod. Truly I am victorious!

And yet for some reason I feel like I've been really unproductive lately. Hm.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 03:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmm, I like the idea of y'all clubbing together to get someone a birthday gift. Like if someone you knew was 30 in only 7 days, say, wouldn't that be ideal?

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 12:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Nice crowbar!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I've always wanted a crowbar!

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 12:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I am in such a good mood today as I woke up & the sun was shining through the window. We found out yesterday that we can stay in our rented house until our landlord sells it, which means we don't have to move straight away. Phew, the pressure is off, well for a bit at least. He hasn't even put it on the market yet & is in no hurry to, so the breathing space is more than welcome. I missed chatting to you lot yesterday. A big hug to all my fave ilxors. these are for all of you from me. *mwah* (mark email me your address!)

Yay, Pink!

Well, my sister & her bf are here this week so it's like a big party. Plus, my mom sent along some mula with my sister to pay for food, so I got to go on a wild food shopping spree last night. Grocery shopping can be really fun when you're not paying the bill. Plus, it's fun having so many people in the apartment to eat up the food with you.

The sad news is that my other sister was supposed to spend spring break with her bf in Paris, but she lost her passport at the last minute! She was completely crushed. And when she called to tell him what happened he told her he'd also surprised her with tickets to see Air, which is her favorite band. But then my Dad offered to pay for her to come to Chicago, so she'll get here tomorrow morning and it will be an even bigger party! :)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Sounds like you're having a blast! Bad news about your sister's trip to Paris though!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

So guess what the special is in the cafeteria at work today?

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

A crowbar? A bag of dicks? Puppies?

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Tuna Salad Sandwich, $2.50

I feel like Bill Murray in that movie, the one where the same stuff keeps happening to him. Stripes.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

hey kids,

beautiful sunny day here but i feel aarrghh! headache, no patience, kids getting on my last nerve, etc. etc. I swear the next one who says "what's a prepositional phrase?" will get a beatdown.

Sarah if I was your sister I'd be so depressed.

lunch today: BBQ rib sandwich (ribwich) or Nachos. bleh.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

what is a... no, I'll resist.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, my sister is definitely completely depressed, but it was a good idea on my Dad's part to send her up here, because she always gets super jealous if her two sisters are hanging out without her.
Plus, she wouldn't have been able to come up here until Christmas.

But she IS engaged to this guy (most of the time). :-(

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:12 (twenty-two years ago)

THEIFS!

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:45 (twenty-two years ago)

d'oh. . . THEIVES!

yeah, things that have gone missing from my room since yesterday: black sweater; waterless hand soap (2nd $4 bottle to go missing); brand-new pack of gum.

GRRRRRR

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Is there no way to replace a lost passport quickly? I guess there probably isn't, for post-9/11 security reasons if nothing else. That's a damn shame (for Sarah's sister, not for the terrorists).

Have I posted before about what I do this semester? I'm taking a semester of classes completely from the History & Philosophy of Science department, which is probably where I'll migrate after my Master's in Western European Studies. One of the classes is funded by a large grant to transcribe and annotate Isaac Newton's alchemical manuscripts, in conjunction with the Newton Pr*ject in the UK.

(I googleproofed that because our computer guy never goes to the NP's web page, always googles it and goes from there, for some reason.)

It's very nitty gritty stuff. Kind of cool. All of my complaints about last semester are gone, because I'm not being shoehorned into overenrolled undergraduate classes as the token specialist anymore -- I'm taking weekly seminars with a dozen or fewer people.

Today I'm transcribing page after page of poems about planets.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:48 (twenty-two years ago)

don't look at me, black sweaters make me look like Robert E. Lee.

CHRIST.

Is this about the tuna sandwiches, Luna?

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:53 (twenty-two years ago)

YES.

no.

It's about the Civil War.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I get sent on an errand. I do the errand. I come back to the office. Realize I forgot to pick something up. Have to go back out. Need lunch. Need nap worse.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I just have no patience for stupid people, especially stupid people who don't listen to me when they ask me for information and especially even more when they then later come back and say 'wow, you were right.'

NO SHIT, YOU BAT HOUSE FUCKNUT - THAT'S WHY I SAID IT TO BEGIN WITH!

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Correction: Luna needs nap worse.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Is it my turn to come down and kick some fuckin' ass?

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I do need a nap, huh? I'm totally cranky.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Do you get to leave for lunch, at least?

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Not until later 'cause I have to pick up Spencer.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I gotta teach that kid to drive already.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, what's with the slacking? In Maine they'd have him plowing the fields by now, for heaven's sake.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:29 (twenty-two years ago)

One of my kiddos went and checked the novel we are reading in class out of the library so he could keep reading at home! he just asked me for a bookmark!!!!!

you do not understand how amazing this is. . .damn.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I understand at least a little bit -- that's great, Sam :)

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:42 (twenty-two years ago)

you're not reading Henry Miller with them are you?

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:43 (twenty-two years ago)

we're reading "Killing Mr. Griffin" by Lois Duncan. It's about some HS students who kidnap and murder their English teacher. It has curse words in it. They love it.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Is that the one that was adapted for 'Teaching Mrs Tingle'?

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

That was a really fun book. I don't remember if it was credited as the basis for Teaching Mrs Tingle (there are enough differences that it might not have to be), but Kevin Williamson definitely knew the book -- Lois Duncan wrote I Know What You Did Last Summer, too.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 20:00 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm not sure Luna. I know there is a movie version too. . .

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 20:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyway, my point, which I conveniently forgot, is that's fantastic, Sam!

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Killing Mrs Tingle was altered to "Teaching", thanks to homicidal high school students in 1999.

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 20:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Hurrah for Sam and her reading student! :-) Boo for Luna's tormentors! Rah for Jeanne laying the smack down on the fools!

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sorry, Sarah :/ I think the answer is mostly no.

You aren't worried that the kid who took a copy home is making any plans?

Aw, Sarah:< Why's that?

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick, I just feel overworked and underpaid. You know, the usual. And when I'm not getting anywhere with the customers (ie: today) and go to a higher up, they (ok, he) says (said) never to come to him with problems, to deal with it myself. This has happened several times now with various higher ups.

It makes me think of The Office. ("NOT MY PROBLEM! DON'T CARE!")

It makes me think of The Office. ("NOT MY PROBLEM! DON'T CARE!")

If this guy is David Brent, fear. You could try to get someone to rewrite the script.

So sorry. How long are you contracted for?

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:31 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a permanent position, not a temp one. I go up for review in about a month. Until then, I get no benefits. My current plan of attack is just to wait it out and see how big my salary increase is. Sadly, the outlook isn't good. Most of my coworkers, who have been here over 3 years, still aren't making what they did at their previous jobs.

I just wish I knew how to find the color of my parachute or whatever.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Or you could always ape 9 to 5 and string up your boss to the ceiling....

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Or we could all show up on some prearranged day and show him what happens when you fuck with someone in our gang. Cuz ILX is sorta like a gang...right guys? Guys?

Anyway, the weather here is all fucked up. It's been warm and springish, but today it's -5 C (23 F) which isn't too bad, but the winds make it more like -29 C (-20 F) which is pretty fucking brutal. I wanna go back to bed.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 14:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Sarah-that all sounds pretty harsh, hope it gets better soon.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 14:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Horace, that sounds nasty. hate cold weather. it's been in the 70s here.

Sarah, I don't think the parachute exists. At least I've given up on finding it.

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

We had snow this morning, it didn't settle though. :-(

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 14:57 (twenty-two years ago)

brrrrrr!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

It's coming for us now. Seems so strange as it's breezy and +2 C right now.

I barely slept last night so I think I'll use the weather as an excuse to nap all day.

― Bryan B Sure (Bryan), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

And me just run out of my extra-strength toupé glue. Shit did I say that out loud?

xpost, well, it's "officially" -5 here, and last night it was above zero and therefore most streets are slick as all fucknot.

you all need to move out of the frozen netherlands.

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

i am supposed to maybe get a 'bonus' with my review today. should be interesting. i work my arse off, so they better hook me up.
i can't wait to leave the office today and it's only 10:07. ive had new multi-tracking software on my desk at home waiting for me to use for two nights now, but i have been busy. but i saw the church last night and they were stellar.

― kephm, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

you all need to move out of the frozen netherlands.

But then, instead of whinging about natural and frankly expected phenomena, I'd have to look inward, and I really, really don't want to do that.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 15:09 (twenty-two years ago)

In spite of the occasionally shitty weather I love it here too much to move.

― kephm, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 15:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I struggle with that Bryan. More lately than ever.
I mean, this place, this city, is my home and it's supposedly only as good as I make it, right? But I've tried, I've really tried to make this city good and liveable and there are some really wonderful things about it, but there's such an institutional resistance to actual life here.
I don't know, I found out some really terrible things about the administration of this city last night. I mean, I've always known that this vileness existed, but I never expected it to manifest itself so openly and aggressively as it has over the last few months (with the whole closing down inner-city libraries in favour of less-used suburban mall branches) and last night it just took on new dimensions, a little more personally, and there's a part of me that feels it's time to leave and not look back, lest I turn into a pillar of salt.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 15:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Come on over then.

― Bryan B Sure (Bryan), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 15:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm grading papers from one of my kids who's in Promise House. Promise House is like a halfway house thing for troubled kids. We have to send them work every week and it's hard to grade them since I never actually get to teach them.

Anyway a prewriting/rough draft I just got back from this girl is on "depression". She describes how she's been sexually abused most of her life and was abandoned by her parents. She says she's been in therapy ever since but "I want to die and I can't live no more."

:(

I wrote a long note saying how I understood her feelings, really, but that she was stronger than she realized. I also invited her to write about it more for me. I hope she does.

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Work is stressing me out. Today's human interactions will either end in two ways -- me knocking someone's teeth out OR me crying on said person's shoulder.

I wish chicken could solve the problem of getting suicidal confessions from teenagers.

That made my hangover shrink in insignificance. . .

oh, the chicken thing was for jeanne.

HELLO BRYAN & HUCK ! i work for a canadien company. they may ship me toronto in a box soon.

― kephm, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 15:54 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't really know this girl. she was barely in my class before she was sent to the halfway house.

The fact that she would just pour her heart out to a relatively anonymous teacher really bothers me. or maybe that made it easier for her.

nonetheless, :(

― Ask For Janice (thatgirl), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 15:54 (twenty-two years ago)

It probably made it easier for her, Sam. And she probably sees/remembers you as someone sort of sympathetic. Or at least from your posts, that's how I see you. You're doing very noble work, Sam. But don't forget to take care of yourself too, at the very least so that you'll have something left to give to your students.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 15:58 (twenty-two years ago)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Sam, you need to figure out how to control that other class. I mean, if they can come together to call someone a ho, just think of where a strong, manipulative leader could take them. You could maybe teach them to do the wave.

I've told you guys, I'm really training an army of poor, minority youths to execute a coup d'etat here in Dallas.

Then the world.

The day has just begun, and already I'd like to hug one or two people and kick the asses of others.

I'm going to dress up like Lara Croft and buy a Hummer and then travel the country (and Canada too) and just kick people's asses for a living. (Albeit slowly, I don't have that much money for gas, but come on, how menacing would I be in a Geo Metro? *beep beep* You're a bad man! Stand there while I shake my fist at you in rage! v. *no talking, I'm too busy running you over*)

"georgie pickle pepperoni, georgie elbow macaroni"

Did your dog like the song?

Hi Kephm. This thread varies with the days and people's moods, but it's a cool place to stick around. Seems like everyone's work sucks lately!

Sam, your school stories are always so vivid and affecting; you must make such a difference in these kids' lives.

I'm still living with my parents (for a limited time only, I hope). But it's going well, they're actually being understanding and cool. They are absolutely stuffing me with food, which is alternately annoying and endearing. They seem to have caught on that my health problems are not, as they seemed to think, due to nutrition. Not that they'll stop nagging me about it.

They have a big bag of dried mangos and it is physically impossible not to eat vast quantities of dried mangoes when the opportunity presents itself. Now I'm kind of regretting that.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

He kind of looked at me with his head sideways and then licked himself and off he went. So I guess so. He takes after his old man.

mmmm, I could go for some chicken fingers today.
I couldn't really, I only have $4.75 until midnight. But maybe I could put it on my Visa.

these were just 1.75. and were worth every penny.

Haha. Why are they called chicken fingers? Chickens don't have fingers.

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 18:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Finger is code for another part of chicken anatomy, of course.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 18:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Because no one would ever eat chicken balls.

I have caught a cold that's going around. Indirectly caught from a three-year-old.

Things could be worse! Maybe I should go get some DayQuil and/or breakfast. I have been drinking ridiculous amounts of water and yet I still feel entirely blechy and dehydrated.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 18:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris my advice to people with colds is always the same.

"have some soup and wrap a hot towel around your head."

Hi guys. I've been ill for a week, wooo. Staggered back to work today to a mountain of emails and mundane tasks that somehow, nobody else had QUITE got round to in my absence... strange that.

I am sniffly and disorientated and I'm not worsening my fuddled consciousness with ILx but thought I'd just check in here. So hi!

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 11 March 2004 11:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm also ludicrously behind on my MA project work as my home computer is broken and even if it hadn't been I probably wouldn't have been able to sit in front of it for more than 5 mins without passing out.

So, staying late at work to use the computer tonight - joy. Still, next week I have four days off to go and watch the sea and take long walks from my parents' house while they're away. And that will probably be the most exotic holiday I have for the next three years...

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 11 March 2004 11:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Not the best time for one of the senior tutors (probably paid about three times as much as me) to start grumping on about how easy we support staff have it, how he would NEVER be allowed to go for a haircut during work hours/take any time off in lieu for overtime etc. Poor soul.
