Well, it worked for me.

This is the Thread Where I Say Pt. 30: AY! Get your bitch-ass back in the kitchen and bake me some pie!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:31 (twenty years ago)

I have my tea and I just had a peanut butter cookie. It is a good midmorning and in three days time I will be off to Vegas. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:34 (twenty years ago)

Yay bananas!

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:34 (twenty years ago)

I have tea too.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:34 (twenty years ago)

omg I hate flipflops.

Ned, tell me what the poker rooms are like there!

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:35 (twenty years ago)

Since we weere just talking about footwear, I think I'll need some for New York. Lotsa walking ahead, miles and miles of it, and then industry parties at night. Can one shoe do all this? For under $70? Or should I pack a bag with some nicer shoes and wear sneakers?

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:36 (twenty years ago)

I'm wearing flipflops. I love them.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:37 (twenty years ago)

I dislike the flipflop sound, I guess it's an acquired taste.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:39 (twenty years ago)

Well I guess we've reached an impasse, Luna. A duel is the only option. Choose your weapon!

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:40 (twenty years ago)

Ned, tell me what the poker rooms are like there!

I shall encourage donut d. to report.

Tevas are lovely things but I've not worn them in a while.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:40 (twenty years ago)

I hate any clothing that makes noise. Except cords.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:41 (twenty years ago)

Bah! I my card got refused at Tesco cos I'd run out of money so I had to wlak away from a £20 shopping. A shame because I'd found lotsa nice vegetables like beef tomatoes and lollo rosso lettuce.

I wonder if you eat enough of the stuff will it become roffllo lettuce?

― dog latin (dog latin), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:43 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, dog.

I'm finally ready to admit that I want a pair of those flip flops with sparkles on them. But this confession comes after I just made a resolution yesterday to stop buying anything. :-(

I would just bring along nice shoes and wear tennis shoes in NY.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:48 (twenty years ago)

women and men should be banned from wearing flip-flops if they're not on a beach/indoors.

― stelf0xxxx, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:49 (twenty years ago)

kenan, I thought we were agreed that you were going with the Uggs!

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

You vacation with the Uggs? I went to prep school with their youngest, Chas.

I have flip flops with sequins on them. wear them nearly every day. pbbhtt!!!

My weapon is top secret, Mark, but I'm willing to duel. Bring it.

I'm drunk and wearing flip - flops on Fifth Avenue

I wonder... was he wearing his brand new fetching leather jacket *with* the flip flops? You'd have to be drunk, I guess.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

Now I have to download that, damn you. Haven't heard it in an age. And such great lyrics.

The yellow walls are lined with portraits
And I've got my new red fetching leather jacket
All these poses such beautiful poses
Makes any boy feel like picking up roses

There's never been such grave a matter
As comparing our new brand name black sunglasses
All these poses such beautiful poses
Makes any boy feel as pretty as princes

The green autumnal parks conducting
All the city streets a wondrous chorus singing
All these poses oh how can you blame me
Life is a game and true love is a trophy

And you said
Watch my head about it
Baby you said watch my head about it
My head about it
Oh no oh no oh no
Oh no oh no no kidding

Reclined amongst these packs of reasons
For to smokes the days away into the evenings
All these poses of classical torture
Ruined my mind like a snake in the orchard
I did go from wanting to be someone now
I'm drunk and wearing flip - flops on Fifth Avenue
Once you've fallen from classical virtue
Won't have a soul for to wake up and hold you

In the green autumnal parks conducting
All the city streets a wondrous chorus
Singing all these poses now no longer boyish
Made me a man ah but who cares what that it

And you said watch my head about it
Baby you said watch my head about it
My head about it
Oh no oh no oh no
Oh no oh no well you said
Watch my head about it
Baby you said watch my head about it
My head about it
Oh no oh no oh no
Oh no oh no no kidding

Fallen from classical virtue! Good, good stuff.

So...a month after buying my new computer and scanner and shit, I've finally started uploading to photobucket.
Mostly just stuff like this so: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y298/hukl/kirbyga.jpg

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:33 (twenty years ago)

women and men should be banned from wearing flip-flops if they're not on a beach/indoors.

Indoors? What's the point, then? I mean, what's the point of only wearing them indoors?

I like girls in flip-flops quite a bit.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:35 (twenty years ago)

Especially if that's all they're wearing, except a smile as an accessory.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

And a veil.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

kenan, is that your real address? I can send it to you tonight if you want.

Yeah, that's a real address, but you're TOO LATE, LEX LUTHOR. I already got the whole album off of Limewire.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

I'm not wearing a veil, but I am wearing clothes with my flipflops. It's better this way.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:57 (twenty years ago)

Whoa, the Green Arrow is totally gay!

― Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:57 (twenty years ago)

Everyone's gay when they're drawn by Jack Kirby.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 17:17 (twenty years ago)

In case of confusion, because I know everyone here is concerned about such things, those Bizarros are not by Kirby. Hard to tell on such absurdly stylised characters, but I'd guess at John Forte pencils?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 17:25 (twenty years ago)

Possibly even Curt Swan?
I'll check on it when I get home.

Also, just got off the phone with THE FUTURE. Memo to self: buy sunglasses.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

I cannot wear flip flops, I have awful feet. They've been laughed at many times.

― jill schoelen is the queen of my dreams! (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 17:55 (twenty years ago)

Unless you have hammer toe (which my poor grandmother did), I wouldn't worry about it, mandee. If your feet are large, like mine, I'm sure they're just proportional.

I treat my feet right because I need to make up for all the years I was mean to them.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

I don't have hammer toe, my toes are just really short and fat.

― jill schoelen is the queen of my dreams! (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

I have HAMMER TOE OF THE GODS

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:12 (twenty years ago)

(actually, I don't even know what hammer toe is. I just found out last week that a hangnail doesn't actually involve the nail.)

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:12 (twenty years ago)

I don't think it's Swan, unless it's an odd inker. I can't even really think it's Swan under Forte. The only other possibility is Wayne Boring, but the pecs are too high, I think, among other things. (Obviously spot-the-old-comic artist is just what everyone wants on this thread...)

This is not news especially, but I'm finding that reading all these threads about masturbation/sexing are turning me on.

Interesting Fact: On the cartoon "Hammerman" the voice of Hammer was provided by MY FAVOURITE TV COP, Meldrick Lewis aka Canadian (but Philly-born) actor Clark Johnson.

Anyway, THE FUTURE is happening. And I'm so excited, I just answered the phone at THE PAST (well, THE PRESENT) with, "Hello, THE FUTURE"

and everybody's staring at me now.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

you're going to have to stop being so cryptic Huk.

Apropos of nothing to do with sex I've been thinking of getting pregnant within this next year. Sex has been nothing but troublesome for me lately. I need to get back into counseling.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:31 (twenty years ago)

"Hammerman" is one letter away from my last name (as we all know now, thanks to Kenan on the Chicago thread).

Um, well, re: THE FUTURE.
It's not exactly a new job, but it's a move toward doing what I'm actually good at and enjoy for more presitigious media outlet and for more money.
I just don't want to jinx anything, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE A DEAL THAT WE'LL BE FINALIZING WITH A CONTRACT TOMORROW!!!

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:42 (twenty years ago)

That's too cool. Is it jumping the gun to say congratulations?

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:49 (twenty years ago)

Well, it's just a one-off deal right now, but one is a much bigger number than none, journey of 1000 steps, etc. So I'm pretty jazzed about it.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 21:21 (twenty years ago)

And Martin (as always in Silver Age Superman matters) is correct. The Bizarro image is indeed by John Forte. I wrongly assumed that since most of the Bizarro covers were by Curt Swan the insides would be too.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 21:26 (twenty years ago)

I'm here, Sam! (And the rest of you. Tee hee hee.) I've just been incredibly busy over the last few days, what with all the things that have been going on around the house as of late. We're trying to fix it up, make it look pretty, and it's been chaos around here as a result. But we've got new tile and a paint job and our windows are clean now, as a result. Now we need to get in an electrician because our wiring's 40 years old and hasn't been fixed yet. There's this thing that's a guaranteed circuit breaker (we can't use our toaster and microwave oven at the same time) and we're wanting it fixed.

Oh, I did manage to put together, with my two own hands, two wooden filing cabinets!! I am so proud of that. They look pretty and are solid. Pat on back!

I'm going to catch up on the rest of the thread now. I hope all of your lives have been fab.

(Has Julia made it back, BTW? She told me in a phone convo last week that she was told she was going to get online service hooked up, guaranteed, by the end of Monday. I don't know if that's happened yet.)

(Oh yeah -- she's already fully moved in to her new place. She's got all her stuff with her and everything. It's just that it's taking an incredibly long period of time for things to be connected for her, namely the Internet connection and her telephone service. So she's having to use this crappy cell phone that cuts out on her.)

OH! And many congrats to the Liverpool supporters in TITTWIS-land. I just heard about that miraculous win.

― The Kind and Benevolent Oracle of Dee (Dee the Lurker), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 22:25 (twenty years ago)

My cats are doing just loverly, Pink. Last night, I teased Pepper with one of my hair bands. She's obsessed with them. All I have to do is hold one out in my hand and her pupils dilate. Then she and Lucy fought for a long time and Lucy had a poofy racoon tail.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:58 (twenty years ago)

see the thing is, today's one of those days where i'm just up because i'm bored. i don't have to be at work for another three hours, so i'll spend most of that time in bed.

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, when I can finally download them. I haven't got any with me in them on my camera, but the happy couple should be sending me some once they get back from Bermuda next week.

No, that just means I'm a dumbnuts. Plus, you know you're not that much older than I am! And that I'm geeky!

Having sex dreams? Classic.

Being woken up before anything really good happens? DUD.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:31 (twenty years ago)

hey nathalie, I had that queasiness all through my first three months (well except the first month maybe) but I never did puke, so I was happy for that. Keeping my belly full helped a lot, and I am also a salt craver. Don't worry about it and just be happy you can eat. Eat whatever you crave because you never know if you'll turn into one of those puking women and not be able to keep anything in your stomach. Although if you can help it, eat lots of small meals rather than gorging yourself--your digestive process is slowing down due to the pregnancy hormones and you don't want to cause yourself distress. But unless you're already overweight, seriously don't worry about eating too much. I've gained 10 pounds when you're only supposed to gain one, and my doctor said it totally didn't count because I'm underweight! Did I pick a good doc or what?

Feeling sick is no big deal at any one moment, but feeling that way for a couple months is very tiring. And then you're probably tired anyway just from helping the little thing grow! I'm starting to get better and feel normal again, and that's the case for most women around 3 months, so just hang on!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:32 (twenty years ago)

IRC is an internet protocol (like FTP and HTTP) that is for chatting. back before IM and stuff I used to waste time IRC chatting.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:34 (twenty years ago)

Being woken up before anything really good happens? DUD.

I never have any fun in sex dreams. It's always like me and uber-hotty are flirting then trying to find a place to make out and right when it gets hot, Nazi space mutants start ashooting up the place with lasers and the dream goes from phwoar to run for your life so it's kind of like what my sex life was in my early twenties.

Lose the lag and you could be having fun.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:56 (twenty years ago)

hahaha Bird on a Wire was the first R-rated movie I ever saw. Good times.

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 26 May 2005 16:24 (twenty years ago)

It was R-Rated?
Wow. I saw it on my 13th birthday. I was badass. I totally shoulda gone to see Wild Orchid, which was also playing that day.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 26 May 2005 16:27 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I think Mel Gibson's ass-tacular appearance may've pushed it into the R category.

I am laboring over a CV and cover letter and MAN! does it suck.

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 26 May 2005 16:32 (twenty years ago)

The first ass I saw in a movie was in Young Guns (or was it Young Guns II?). I was at a sleepover and my friend had HBO.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 26 May 2005 17:15 (twenty years ago)

I don't know why I had such a huge crush on Emilio.

The first ass I saw in a movie was probably Revenge of the Nerds. My friend's mom rented it for us for a sleepover, and then shut it off when the nudity started. We were like 7 or 8. It was a crushing disappointment. I still don't know how the movie ends. Or what women's breasts look like.

Good night sweet prince!

Wait. That oral sex comment came out of nowhere, didn't it, Pink? ha ha

It's really beautiful and sunshiney here too. I was expecting it to rain all day.

I thought about riding my bike to work today for the first time, but then turned into a huge bundle of nerves worrying about everything (What about the part of the trip that doesn't have a bike line? And when I'd have to go under the overpass? And up a big hill? And over the bridge? And will I be sweaty when I get to work?) So, then, Nick was like, "Um, maybe you should just drive to work today." And I said, "Ok, that sounds like a good idea." So, instead I sat around listening to music and drinking coffee until time to leave.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 12:32 (twenty years ago)

Pink, I feel like I never get to chat you up! How much work do you have left today? Just a couple of hours, right?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 12:36 (twenty years ago)

i've never been brave enough to ride my bike anywhere but quiet side roads.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 27 May 2005 12:38 (twenty years ago)

It's that oral sex comment isn't it? haha. Sorry guys! I'm leaving at 4 today, so that's in an hours time, wooo! I am the same about riding my bike Sarah, although I cannot cycle to work. I am building up my confidence in traffic, but I am still scared. I couldn't ride my bike in the middle of Cambridge, ooh scary stuff indeed.

Today I purchased a cheese & tomato sammich from the sandwich van. I also had some salted crisps & ever since my mouth has been really tingling & my face feels like it's sweating. I know that I shouldn't eat really strong cheese or heavily flavoured crisps, but my god, who puts extra strong burn the roof of your mouth cheese in a cheese & tomato sandwich that you are going to sell to an unsuspecting customer?!!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 27 May 2005 13:01 (twenty years ago)

I rode my bike again today, plus I get to leave at four also! Huzzah! The traffic isn't really that scary, you basically just have to put some faith in the drivers that they're not totally insane or stupid, which is the same thing you have to do when you're in a car. It may be unfounded faith, but at least it allows you to ride your bike or drive without being totally freaked out.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 27 May 2005 13:21 (twenty years ago)

Do you guys wear helmets when you ride your bikes? I don't, am I bad?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 27 May 2005 13:32 (twenty years ago)

I don't either, but I usually just go on short rides around my neighborhood. And if I get to a big intersection, I sometimes even walk my bike across the cross walk!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 13:35 (twenty years ago)

I think I'll go to the other building now to use the restroom (we don't have one in our office), just so I can walk outside in the sun for a few seconds. :-D

Pink what kind of food do you bbq?

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Friday, 27 May 2005 13:46 (twenty years ago)

I think our overprotective nanny state has actually passed a law that you have to wear a helmet on your bike. The bill was probably lobbied for by the Big Oil Interests who pull the strings on the quasi-socialist ruling party, because if people have to wear helmets on their bikes, their hair will look like shit by the time they get to work, so they'd rather just drive and $$$ for the Sk8er BOIs.

I got far too little sleep last night, but I was hard at work into the early morning on The Future, because I have a teleconference with The Senior Future today.

― Huk-L, Friday, 27 May 2005 13:52 (twenty years ago)

we've got several giant plantains at home, waiting for the cheap portable bbq to be purchased so they can be grilled (and stuffed with crumbly white cheese).

!!!! ;-) Sorry!!!!

Sam, I have veggie stuff (burgers/sausages, possibly veggie kebabs - it all depends what i fancy) to keep me going along with rice salads & normal salads. Also corn on the cob & halloumi. Then we have steaks, ribs, chicken drumsticks, sausages etc etc for the meatier side! Along with loads of yummy red wine, beer & lots of nibbles. TITTWIS party at my house. See you all around 7 yeah?

(please bear in mind that we are not complete pigs & we will not consume all of this on our own!)

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 27 May 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm... What do we have at home we can BBQ? Oh, I just remembered we're out of charcoal... :-(

I know, Sam. Plus, I have no will power. I'm always like, "Oh, I could just use my credit card..."

See, it's like this, Pink. My sister came back to the states. So my other sister and I closed our savings account and used that money to buy a ticket for my mom and sisters to come up to Chicago for my mom's birthday. Then my sister went back to France, but only for about 1 and a half months. Forget my sister. I should just plan a trip to the UK next year either way.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 14:00 (twenty years ago)

With my new bike I have bought a helmet for the first time. It is ENORMOUS and my head is ENORMOUS so combined they are SUPERMEGAELEPHANTENORMOUS. And my cropped hair just looks silly underneath it all. And it's sweaty.

But I guess it's sensible.

I fancy a barbecue tonight, but it's not an option.

Isn't a lot of the west pretty conservative?

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 27 May 2005 14:47 (twenty years ago)

I really don't think it's all that different from the U.S. The Canadian Christian Right isn't nearly as organized as its U.S. counterpart.
Here in Saskatchewan, our provincial Legislature is nearly evenly split between the soft left New Democratic Party and the right-leaning Saskatchewan Party. The NDP holds most of the urban constituencies, while the Sask Party holds most of the rural ones, but neither by particularly overwhelming margins, on average.
The East isn't nearly as liberal as their loyalty to the Liberal Party might suggest.

― Huk-L, Friday, 27 May 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

Whatever happened to the Reform Party?

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 27 May 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

First they merged with themselves in an effort to Unite the Right and became (for about half an hour, or as long as it took them to figure out what the initials spell) the Canadian Conservative Reform Alliance Party. They quickly wised up and pared it down to the Canadian Alliance party. Then about 18 months ago, they finally wooed the last remains of the Progressive Conservative Party and merged to become the Conservative Party.

― Huk-L, Friday, 27 May 2005 15:16 (twenty years ago)

Ok, I didn't realize that the present Conservatives weren't only the PC's descendants. They should have named themselves the Conservative Reform Alliance of Canada so their supporters could say they were really into...

mmmmmm-mmm

― Huk-L, Friday, 27 May 2005 15:43 (twenty years ago)

I would like some funnel cake, please!

A couple of years ago I went with my fam and Nick to Bush Gardens. My mom went off to get a lemonade and came back with 4 or 5 different funnel cakes. One was smothered in hershey's syrup and one in strawberry syrup. It was a very messy mission, plus it was f'n hot outside.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 15:47 (twenty years ago)

I wasn't there that time, Sarah.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 27 May 2005 15:47 (twenty years ago)

Whatevs.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 15:48 (twenty years ago)

Teeny, ~~you are so pregnant~~ that looks really, really good!

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 27 May 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

One time I ordered extra pickles on a sub and the lady behind the counter insisted I was pregnant. When I kept saying otherwise, she was like, "It's ok, honey. Your secret's safe with me." Then she winked. I was 17 at the time.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 15:53 (twenty years ago)

At the Galaxy Diner in Richmond, they used to serve this special dish that was ice cream with a side of fried pickles, mmmmmm. Then they were bought out by new owners and they tried to make the place all classy.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 27 May 2005 15:55 (twenty years ago)

I could go for some fried pickles right about now.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 27 May 2005 15:57 (twenty years ago)

I am the deli clerk, holder of secrets!

― Huk-L, Friday, 27 May 2005 15:57 (twenty years ago)

I could go for a chili cheeseburger. And pickled tomatoes.

I'm not pregnant, just hungry.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 27 May 2005 16:13 (twenty years ago)

I'm zapping my lunch now - canned potatoes and canned green beans. mmm...

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 16:18 (twenty years ago)

oh man, you know what would make that barbecue thing perfect? FRIED GREEN TOMATOES.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 27 May 2005 16:27 (twenty years ago)

'Tis the season for them too.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 27 May 2005 16:40 (twenty years ago)

I just ate a bacon cheddar hot dog. Mmm, mmm.

― Huk-L, Friday, 27 May 2005 16:44 (twenty years ago)

i think there some tv documentary on that rib fest b/c i watched it or something very similar. it was awesome.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Friday, 27 May 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

I love documentaries about eating contests. I think this love stems from the film Stand By Me.

― Huk-L, Friday, 27 May 2005 17:06 (twenty years ago)

there was a great pbs doc all on hot dogs. loved that one, too!

― kelsey (kelstarry), Friday, 27 May 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

I liked that too and I'm not a hot dog person!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 17:46 (twenty years ago)

bbq *homer simpson drooling noise*

I am really irritable right now. I feel like if one more thing annoys me, like I break a glass or spill something or whatever, I will just fucking lose it and start yelling about all the little things that have annoyed and depressed me today. I blame the hot weather.

Mark told me he had delicious bbq for lunch, and I have confined myself to my room until I stop being irritable, since it almost seemed like a taunt.

Anyway, tell me some good news!

and Sam, good luck with the second interview!

― sgs (sgs), Friday, 27 May 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

thanks, I have a third interview on Wed. uh, yay!

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Friday, 27 May 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

Woo! That is good news :)

And I hope "third interview" is a euphemism for "we're planning to offer you the job anyway but have to stage a third round."

― sgs (sgs), Friday, 27 May 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

Me too!

Now I want grilled food and mexican food. Crimeny.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 18:23 (twenty years ago)

Me too.

And oral sex.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 27 May 2005 18:24 (twenty years ago)

There is an important order involved with those things, ladies, that one ignores at one's own peril.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 27 May 2005 18:27 (twenty years ago)

yeah my friend who works there said if this lady likes me then they'll offer me the job. It would be pretty damn disappointing to go through 3 interviews and then be turned down. The guy also told me today that after a year they would pay tuition for one course a year for me. sweet!

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Friday, 27 May 2005 18:31 (twenty years ago)

That's great! My fingers are crossed for you! And my toes!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 18:35 (twenty years ago)

Good luck, Sam!

― Huk-L, Friday, 27 May 2005 18:37 (twenty years ago)

Sam, as the French say, "Merde!"

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 27 May 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

Sam, I really hope you get this - and I believe you will. Good luck!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 27 May 2005 18:55 (twenty years ago)

and then I remembered, we don't have a library.

― diedre mousedropping and a quarter (Dave225), Friday, 27 May 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

I just thought of the PERFECT NAME for an emo band.
Are you ready?

...

"THE PITY PARTY"

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 27 May 2005 19:04 (twenty years ago)

That's great, NIck. I think we might be the only people left working.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 19:30 (twenty years ago)

I'm here, too. We don't get to leave early. :(

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 27 May 2005 19:34 (twenty years ago)

We probably would have, but that's cuz everyone thought the owner would be golfing all day. Instead, he decided to come back in to work.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 19:38 (twenty years ago)

I get out in T-minus 22 minutes.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 27 May 2005 19:38 (twenty years ago)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 19:45 (twenty years ago)

I'm still here. Unfortunately.

― Huk-L, Friday, 27 May 2005 19:52 (twenty years ago)

I think I'll shut down my computer now, as though that will magically bring the work day to a close. So, have a great weekend!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 27 May 2005 20:00 (twenty years ago)

I'm right behind you.
NO, REALLY. I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

― Huk-L, Friday, 27 May 2005 20:02 (twenty years ago)

I, alas, am still here.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 27 May 2005 20:05 (twenty years ago)

Me, too. But just for one last bitch as I put on my coat and walk out the damn door.
So, was just putting away my shit and about to leave, which I should have done an hour ago, since that's when they stopped paying me (but I can't exactly leave shit that needs to be done by 8 p.m. Sunday) and one of the bosses says, "Hey, Huk, can you go pick up some deliveries for me at the front counter?"
"No. If I go out to the front, I'm walking out the doors. I'm not technically here."
"What do you mean, you're not here? I can see you."

what a way to end my 208th week of work at this shit hole.

― Huk-L, Friday, 27 May 2005 20:11 (twenty years ago)

I want to LEAVE.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 27 May 2005 20:24 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to have to drive too much this weekend.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 27 May 2005 20:26 (twenty years ago)

hi. i just got to work.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 27 May 2005 21:53 (twenty years ago)

And this is the first thing you do!? Wait, what am I talking about?

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 27 May 2005 21:54 (twenty years ago)

no, i had a little bit of work first. to be honest, i got to work about an hour ago.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 27 May 2005 21:55 (twenty years ago)

'Twas merely in jest.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 27 May 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

my best friend is getting married tomorrow and i am going to cry during the whole fucking thing and i basically was biting my tongue off so i didn't start crying during the fucking rehersal tonight. i can't handle that this. is. all. happening. right. now. wtf, when exactly did we grow up??

― Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Saturday, 28 May 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

I can't fucking sleep. argh!

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Saturday, 28 May 2005 08:38 (twenty years ago)

I never knew how boring ILX was after-hours. :(

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Saturday, 28 May 2005 08:47 (twenty years ago)

I took a nap after work, and wound up sleeping from 5 to 11, which means I get to spend the rest of the weekend trying to readjust my sleeping pattern.
And I'm a borderline insomniac as it is.

― Huk-L, Saturday, 28 May 2005 08:48 (twenty years ago)

I just downloaded l!mew!re and I'm quickly realizing that there's not much music that I really want to hear. any suggestions?

― Huk-L, Saturday, 28 May 2005 08:52 (twenty years ago)

uh I recently downloaded some Hollies and Harry Nielsen(?)

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Saturday, 28 May 2005 08:55 (twenty years ago)

was it "The Air THat I breathe"?
I've been d/l a lot of Beach Boys and Everly Bros, so the Hollies would be a good next move.

― Huk-L, Saturday, 28 May 2005 08:58 (twenty years ago)

I don't think so. I sang Bus Stop at karaoke so wanted more. :)

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Saturday, 28 May 2005 09:00 (twenty years ago)

I've also been getting a french singers like Aznavour and Trenet. Mmmmm.

― Huk-L, Saturday, 28 May 2005 09:03 (twenty years ago)

I've got "Large Amounts" by Ludacris stuck in my head. Mainly just the dub sample. I gotta find the source. I just gotta.

Turns out it's not dub at all. It's Fagin from the musical Oliver!
I feel like such a dork.

― Huk-L, Saturday, 28 May 2005 09:39 (twenty years ago)

Oh Jeanne, I know the feeling. I cried less during the wedding last week than I thought I would after the rehearsal, but I still cried. It's okay, people love it and so will K1m. Mazel tov.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 28 May 2005 14:58 (twenty years ago)

wow, it took a while to catch up. i have so so so missed the internet! and i have highspeed now! wooooooo!

i moved two weeks ago. they assured me that the internet and such could be hooked up right away. uh, not so. and then they strung me along for a while and drove me crazy. i'm getting internet telephone too, which isn't cooperating with things, so finally i just decided that fuck it, i'm paying big cashes for best buy techs to come in tomorrow and make everything work. they make big money off of people's desperation over tech problems.

i live near a church now, and they have church bells all the time. like 3 times a day at least....it's crazy. they're going now because it's noon.

it's all quiet here on weekends but just thought i'd say HI.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Saturday, 28 May 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

Good to see you, Julia - I hope the new home makes the difference you hoped it would.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 28 May 2005 21:05 (twenty years ago)

Hi Julia! welcome back.

My tummy's acting bad today. bleh. and we just watched a GG Allin documentary which really didn't help. :(

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Saturday, 28 May 2005 21:07 (twenty years ago)

Ugh. You know what not to do? Watch the HBO movie "Empire Falls." Not like I was doing anything else with those three hours, but this is kind of a bad movie. You wanna know what the big surprise ending is? A school shooting. Because we all know by now that bullied kids immediately go shoot up the school. Also, women are evil.

HBO, what's become of you?

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Monday, 30 May 2005 04:35 (twenty years ago)

I watched Season One of Columbo and worked (and am still working on) THE FUTURE.
I wanted to go see this band that I really like last night, but I didn't because I was watching Columbo.

― Huk-L, Monday, 30 May 2005 04:37 (twenty years ago)

Unrelated question: why do guys try to turn phone conversations into phone sex?

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 30 May 2005 05:54 (twenty years ago)

perhaps the issue is really, why do guys try to turn ______ situations into sexy situations? which, really, if you have to ask...

― Huk-L, Monday, 30 May 2005 06:25 (twenty years ago)

THis isn't really that funny, but: http://sites.gizoogle.com/?url=http://www.livejournal.com/users/invisiblecrutch/

and holy crap, Nick, did you just get S,L Unreleased too?

― Huk-L, Monday, 30 May 2005 08:51 (twenty years ago)

I will mostly likely lose my mind today, as having spent all weekend working ON THE FUTURE, now I'm back in the Present, and fuck does it suck and it's full of obnoxious people who don't realize that I DON'T LIKE THEM.
(ps, i'm super cranky)

― Huk-L, Monday, 30 May 2005 14:05 (twenty years ago)

Is THE FUTURE still

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 30 May 2005 15:05 (twenty years ago)

(huh?)

...the future, though, Huck, or has it all gone pear-shaped?

There are amusing photos of me on the pics page, in case anyone would like to see them.

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 30 May 2005 15:06 (twenty years ago)

The wedding photos? They are amusing.

― Huk-L, Monday, 30 May 2005 15:07 (twenty years ago)

I want to see Empire Falls because it was partially filmed in the town in Maine that I went to high school in and just returned from the wedding in.

Skowhegan, however, is not so much a dying mill town as it is a... well, no-growth-potential not really mill, more of a popsicle stick factory town. With a dam.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 30 May 2005 15:29 (twenty years ago)

Skowhegan??? That sounds like a kind of urinary tract infection.

― Huk-L, Monday, 30 May 2005 15:33 (twenty years ago)

And Regina sounds like the remants of a gynecologocal disease. But what can you do?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 30 May 2005 15:35 (twenty years ago)

I think I'm just on a warpath to accuse every other place name of having urinary/gyno/gastro implications.

Detroit? Sounds like something you get after eating at a mexican place not approved by the motor club.

― Huk-L, Monday, 30 May 2005 15:37 (twenty years ago)

You know Huk, it isn't inevitable, (regarding guys turning phone convos into phone sex). Just because someone is male, does that excuse all other points of human respect and dignity?

I mean when I say to a guy I DON'T DO PHONE SEX and he just keeps on going, he's not just being a "guy" he's being an ASSHOLE. Especially when he knows that I'm in an emotionally vulnerable situation, am upset about something, and am just looking for a friendly chat. I'd say that equals class-A slimeball.

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 30 May 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

Well, that's one guy. You asked about all guys. That one guys sounds like a fucking jerk. That sounds like full-on sexual harrassment, really. I hope you hung up on him.

― Huk-L, Monday, 30 May 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to listen to Bikini Kill now and wish a thousand deaths upon this asshole.

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 30 May 2005 18:11 (twenty years ago)

Teleconference #4 with The Future in 10 minutes. This is the crucial one. Before the next crucial one. But this is the one that will get me further than my foot in the door. Nervous, jittery, gotta pee. But can't leave the phone!!!

― Huk-L, Monday, 30 May 2005 19:48 (twenty years ago)

Good luck, Huk

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 30 May 2005 19:58 (twenty years ago)

Memo to self: don't try to have phone sex with The Future.

― Huk-L, Monday, 30 May 2005 20:03 (twenty years ago)

I think my desperation came across. Desperation for meaningful work, not for phone sex.

― Huk-L, Monday, 30 May 2005 20:16 (twenty years ago)

haha!

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 30 May 2005 20:37 (twenty years ago)

Hay Sam, are you around?

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 01:40 (twenty years ago)

i seem to keep getting dates.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 01:46 (twenty years ago)

that is a good thing!

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 02:07 (twenty years ago)

perhaps it is. i am still not really sure, tho.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 02:08 (twenty years ago)

The thought of going on a date makes me wanna throw up. I don't envy you at all, hstencil. Lucky for me it's not a problem these days.

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 02:16 (twenty years ago)

ok so sort of related: this one girl who i went on a couple few dates with ims me a lot. that's fine and all, i guess. but it's kinda weird, she cooled off to me, didn't wanna date anymore, i haven't seen her in weeks. but i guess we're im friends now? i don't find that so weird if it's, like, ilx people or whatnot. but to only im with someone that, y'know, um, i had certain uh relations with is weird.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 02:16 (twenty years ago)

I fear I am about to lose my shit.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 02:35 (twenty years ago)

that's no good!

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 02:36 (twenty years ago)

As far as I can figure my options are:
1. Drink
2. Take pills
3. Both

I can't reach my friends. And something must be done to prevent to total losing of the shit.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 02:38 (twenty years ago)

hrm, tough call. i usually go for 3. but be safe, obv.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 02:38 (twenty years ago)

ok seriously who ims you to tell you they're going to bed?

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 02:58 (twenty years ago)

nobody

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 02:59 (twenty years ago)

yeah that's what i thot! this is so weird.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 03:00 (twenty years ago)

if it's a girl, maybe it was just an excuse to talk to you.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 03:03 (twenty years ago)

yes, it is the girl i mentioned upthread a little bit. the one i haven't seen in weeks. the one i'm not seeing romantically or whatever any more.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 03:04 (twenty years ago)

it means she's still interested.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 03:04 (twenty years ago)

losing of the shit is no fun at all.

that guy who i'd mentioned who was my boyfriend for quite a while there is now...uh. not sure. we're on a break. i'm not happy about this. he still really cares about me, is confused. yeah.

he wants to bring some of his friends over to my new place this week, friends of his i haven't met yet. which could be spectacularly awkward, seeing that he and i are not-together-but-not-broken-up and that's all still fresh and upsetting and confusing and very much in limbo. and it doesn't seem like we're quite ready to talk that out and find some resolution and all of that. but at the same time, i've been really fucking isolated and it would be cool to hang out with some presumably cool people if i can somehow cope with the whole emotional side of that shit.

here, want a klonopin? though actually that doesn't do much but help me sleep. i need some mind-numbing shit, my prescriptions are no fun.

xp, maybe just to check in and say hi? but if she already ims you a lot, that seems rather excessive...

xp again, yeah, she does sound interested

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 03:05 (twenty years ago)

xpost it might mean she's insufferably stupid. but surely you'd know that already.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 03:06 (twenty years ago)

i don't think she is still interested.

xpost - no i doubt that, kenan.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 03:06 (twenty years ago)

you doubt you would know that already?

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 03:07 (twenty years ago)

Julia--Trust me girl, I *have* the Klonopin, but thanks. I think I just want to join Greg, truth be told at this moment, anyway. Stupid, I know. Too much stull triggering me from all sides at the same time.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 03:08 (twenty years ago)

i mean if she was still interested i don't think she would've acted the way she did, ie. not following up on plans to hang out, not hanging out for weeks, etc., etc.

xpost - oh orbit, i am sorry to read that. it can't be that bad.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 03:08 (twenty years ago)

i don't understand why she would im you for pointless reasons unless she was still interested. but who knows, people are strange. oh shit, i didn't want that song in my head.

xp are you on im, orbit?

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 03:10 (twenty years ago)

heh now it's in my head too.

i think she still wants to be frenz but iming me kind of randomly and not actually hanging out with me (regardless of whether anything romantic happens) doesn't really cut it so much.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 03:11 (twenty years ago)

yah. radiofreealbmuth

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 03:11 (twenty years ago)

but whatever, i'd be fine with being her friend. tho like i say to me that implies some aspect of actually hanging out, unless frenz are in different locales.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 03:12 (twenty years ago)

Hey Orbit, I hope you are ok, please just check in.
Good luck Sam!
Julia - that sucks hun! Why would he want to bring friends over to meet you at this precise moment in time? It doesn't make sense. I'm on IM this afternoon if your around.
Huk - Good luck with THE FUTURE.
Stenc - she wants you man, it's the only solution.
Dee - where you at?
Everybody else - *big hugglez*

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 07:36 (twenty years ago)

Watch out! I'm going to whine about money again...
WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!?!!!

Ok, that's enough for now.

How were everyone's weekends? Mine was superfantastico, though I got sunburned in some really random places, so I have red streaks on my body.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

Pink, When's the last time you posted to a What do you Look Like? thread? I always forget what you look like.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 12:35 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, pinky, time for another I reckon.

Morning everyone! Isn't Michael Palin comforting? Watching any of his numerous travel shows makes me feel like I have a great big warm blanket wrapped around me. Needing to make a hot chocolate has become a pavlovian reaction to the former wacky funnyman.

Work is SO dull right now, and it's depressing me a bit. It's so easy for motivation to fall away, and right now I just can't afford that as I try to make a career for myself.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 12:48 (twenty years ago)

This is a really delayed response, but yeah, Huk, I just got Singles, Live, Unreleased a couple of weeks ago.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:13 (twenty years ago)

i'm so obsessed with mini cheddars right now - especially the spring onion, bbq, and cheesy beans varieties. and since they're baked, not fried, i saw no reason not to have several packs a day over the long weekend.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:16 (twenty years ago)

Have you timed how quickly you can eat a full pack yet? And then tried to beat that time? Dry-mouth hilarity ensues - it's good for parties!

(I'll race you if you like - mini-cheddars vs pringles)

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:17 (twenty years ago)

i've yet to turn my gluttony into a sport, but i suspect that the lifespan of a packet consumed in the pub after a few pints is about 2.4 seconds.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:21 (twenty years ago)

I'm not sure I could eat mini-cheddars in the pub if I knew pork scratchings were a viable alternative. Maybe make sandwiches of the latter with the former?

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:25 (twenty years ago)

you would voluntarily eat something called "pork scratchings"?!?!?

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:26 (twenty years ago)

aka pork rinds.

You ppl want pictures? What kind of god awful torture is this thread? :-( *cries* Maybe the next thread we have should be just of pics of us? I'm thinking This is the thread where I say Pt32: I'll show you mine if you show me yours

Money (or lack there of) sucks totally Sarah! I feel your pain.

I just got Singles, Live, Unreleased a few weeks ago, too! And I similarly remarked upon the bit that you remarked upon! I am beginning to think that should the need ever arise, I could comfortably rub you out and assume your identity. I mean, I would feel about killing you, but it seems like, y'know, yours is a life I could assume without too raising too many eyebrows.

So I was in a car accident on Friday afternoon and smashed my new car up pretty good. It wasn't my fault and nobody got hurt though, so things could be a lot worse. It's the first major car accident I've ever been in, though, and of course it had to happen when I finally get a decent car. The other guy was totally cool though, admitted fault, now I just hope his insurance doesn't jerk me around. I'm just glad he had insurance and that nobody was hurt. Because it was late in the afternoon before a holiday weekend, I had my car towed to my apartment lot and am going to make all the calls today. I'm glad my husband and I both walk to work.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:40 (twenty years ago)

ugh. glad you're okay, teeny.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:42 (twenty years ago)

Be careful! You're crashing for two now, you know.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:44 (twenty years ago)

Oh no teeny, that's awful. Have you been to the hospital to get yourself & baby checked?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:50 (twenty years ago)

Glad you're not hurt, Teenster.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:50 (twenty years ago)

I totally didn't even tell the other guy I was pregnant, he was being so nice and I didn't want to freak him out for no reason (there's really no way an accident would mess with the pregnancy unless it was really fragile to begin with or the accident was so bad it cracked my pelvis). I mean, how much would that suck: "Hi, I'm three months pregnant and my husband is a lawyer. Boy, that accident was totally your fault, huh?"

So no I haven't been to the hospital, my husband made me call my OB and he was very reassuring, he said I would feel pain or bleed if something was wrong, but that if I was worried, I should go to the ER right now and have them check the heartbeat. I'm not worried though.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:52 (twenty years ago)

Oh OK then, I wasn't meaning to be funny or anything, just concerned is all.

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:53 (twenty years ago)

oh no thanks for your concern! mr teeny was about out of his head when I told him about the accident, the overprotective switch has really flipped for him, the sweetie. He's cool now though.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:57 (twenty years ago)

I'm glad you're ok, teeny! Car crashes aren't my idea of a good time. I've been in one too many I think.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 14:11 (twenty years ago)

teeny I'm glad you (and baby teeny) are not hurt.
Way upthread, but nice wedding pics Mark & sgs.
I will post pictures from TN once I figure out how to work borrowed camera. We went to an amazing aquarium where you go on a people mover through a glass tunnel so you are surrounded by sharks and rays.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 14:48 (twenty years ago)

Bad news, teeny, but not the worst and if you can crack gallows-humor jokes like "Hi, I'm three months pregnant and my husband is a lawyer. Boy, that accident was totally your fault, huh?", I'm pretty confident that you and the wee-un will be OK. Ride his insurance co. like a pony and don't take no guff.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

Erm, what wedding photos, I can't see any??!!!

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

― Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 15:22 (twenty years ago)

Yeah that was a great picture of you two!

Glad the accident wasn't more serious teeny... I keep wondering whether not learning to drive makes me MORE likely to be in a car crash since I'm always at the mercy of other people.

I haven't been in work since last Wednesday and I so wish I hadn't bothered coming back. Everything's shitty, chaotic and reeking of blame culture right now.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 15:27 (twenty years ago)

Teeny, how horrible for you - I hope you are okay all over - I get the feeling you're pretty sure within yourself that you're fine, so yay. As for the car, well, you'll just get a shinier one to replace it :)

I think Mr Teeny should start to post here. He sounds fucking great.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 15:28 (twenty years ago)

I loved your pix, Markelby! What a classy lot!

I'm glad to hear you're okay, too, Teens. I got into an accident when was pregnant with Spencer, too - about 7 months, I think - but we were fine. Sort of the same thought ran through my head, 'I'm 7 months pregnant and I work for lawyers, dontcha hate when accidents are YOUR fault?'

I try.

it's my weekend. i have tuesdays and wednesdays off.

glad to hear that teh teeny was not hurt. car wrex suck.

i am in a weird mood today.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:10 (twenty years ago)

Do you ever have those days when you're in a perfectly reasonable mood and one person says something and then your mood is just FUCKED and you HATE THE WORLD?

Also, Kenan, how did you crack a rib?

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:10 (twenty years ago)

yeah that happens sometimes, luna. i hope that's not what happened today for me, tho i think it is. kinda weird. trying not to think about it too much.

i hope what they said wasn't so bad. it's probably stupid of me, but honestly i'd rather know the truth than to have somebody say something behind my back, even if it sucks. i dunno.

sorry bout your rib, kenan.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

tho maybe i'm just bummed out because ethan and uma looked like such a happy couple today.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:16 (twenty years ago)

I just... urgh. One of my old friends told me something her husband said about me and though I know she wasn't intending to hurt my feelings, it really did. Maybe I'm being too sensitive, but I just really feel sad.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:18 (twenty years ago)

yeah that's the worst. but think of it this way, your friend wasn't trying to hurt you, at least i don't think she was. her husband maybe a cockfarmer anyway. but yeahy, it still hurts. i'm sorry.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

Cheer up, luna. 4 day work week!

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:24 (twenty years ago)

i don't think i wanna ask what the douche said but sheesh i hope it wasn't that bad. anyway, fuck him, you're the best, luna.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:25 (twenty years ago)

I totally missed the rib reference.

I cracked a rib once in college when Nick's roommate fell on top of me. I was sleeping on the floor in this small bedroom shared by 3 boys and sometimes their girlfriends too. Also, I was drunk.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:26 (twenty years ago)

It's just one of those situations in which you have to ask yourself, 'if _____________ is all this person gets out of knowing me, then what the fuck am I doing wrong, and what's the point of anything I try to do?'

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:28 (twenty years ago)

Also, I was drunk.

Yeah, that's the short version of the Story of My Rib.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:36 (twenty years ago)

When did this happen?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

Thursday night. I didn't even know anything was wrong until the next morning, when my side hurt like I had just run a mile. You know that spleen feeling? Like that, except it wasn't that, because it didn't go away, just changed into more of a deep muscle soreness.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:40 (twenty years ago)

luna, some people are just stupid, or have weird blind spots. I'm sure I have said disparaging things about people who, on account, are lovely people but who somehow never cease to annoy me. Don't let it get you too down. If someone says something about you that you dislike you can (a) ignore them (perhaps easier said than done, but sometimes you have to take this route), (b) see, especially if they're someone you trust and admire, whether you need to make changes, or (c) refute what they say, preferably directly to them and not so much that you get accused of 'protesting too much', and move on.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:42 (twenty years ago)

It wasn't a personality thing, it was more of a physical thing and... I shouldn't let it get to me, but it did.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

So you're pissed off that he's so narrow minded about shit what don't concern him?

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:53 (twenty years ago)

So basically one of your friends' husbands is calling you a filthy whore.

You want me to kill him for you?

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

More or less, yeah.

I'd like to kick his face in.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:58 (twenty years ago)

I think this is just one of those days, and I am seriously considering going home for the day.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:58 (twenty years ago)

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 31 May 2005 19:06 (twenty years ago)

I know. He's been the one with the problem since I met him in 8th grade... It's just... fuck. You know?

Cut bait.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 31 May 2005 19:19 (twenty years ago)

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 31 May 2005 19:25 (twenty years ago)

Nah, she doesn't give a shit - especially since what he was saying wasn't anything like 'I want to bury my head between them and make that brbrbrbrbrbrbbbbb noise'

Y'know who has a shitty attitude about their job? I do.
My editor just asked me if I wanted to write a certain local musician who I've written about too many times. About a year ago this dude wanted me to write about him, and I told him that I really can't write about him everytime he plays a show, that I needed a reason to, like he was releasing a new CD or something. This guy has a home studio, and ever since, every show has been a CD release show, just 2 or 3 song EPs burnt off his computer or mixing board or whatever.
"I'll tell you what," I told my editor, "when this guy writes an album about me, I'll consider writing about him again."
My poor editor (poor in the sense that he has to suffer my inflated ego, not in the sense that he doesn't have any money, because he's well paid) just looked at me.
Now I'm afraid that he'll tell the shitty local musician what I said, and next thing you know...Huk-L: The Album.
I just want to not be here.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 31 May 2005 19:50 (twenty years ago)

Did you explain to yr editor why you didn't want to write about him?

My guy's going to be on the local music channel tonight showing videos he's made but alas I can't watch b/c we don'thave cable. :(

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 19:52 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, my editor understands what I'm saying, but he comes from a sports j'lism background where you write about the same team six times a week.

and also, The Future is kind of a jerk. Not really, just disorganized (glass house!), and it looks like, while I'm getting my foot in the door, I'm not going to have the chance to showcase my w-r-i-t-i-n-g as much as I think I need to so that I can really knock their socks off. But I'll actually probably get paid more because I'm going to be doing less writing and more, um, performing.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 21:11 (twenty years ago)

Ooh, I'm seriously knocking on wood here, because mosquitos used to be completely loooove my blood when I was little and I would always come in from the outdoors with like six or seven mosquito bites on my legs, but I haven't had a single mosquito bite in many years, like seven or eight. Knock knock knock knock on wood.

Hi again. Yeah. This whole home improvement thing is really cutting into my free time, so I haven't been able to do much online lately. I have, however, suddenly found myself with a tiny pocket of time in which I've been actually able to compose an actual message here.

Hi Sam! Hi Pink! Hi everyone else!

I really should go pose for a picture sometime soon and then have it scanned (still haven't gotten my scanner hooked up!) and uploaded. This would be for that Part 32 Pink proposed upthread. As for now, however, I have hair I need to tame for a Mass thingy I kinda have to be at tonight, and I need to go find something for Mom, and I need to figure out what I'm going to do about other things, and, well, yeah.

Thanks Pink, and Dee, and Julia, and hstencil way upthread.

Sam I just walked in the door. I'm just really tired and drained. I gave myself sinus irrigation with a Diet Coke by accident at lunch today because someone said something similar to something little mr phone sex0r said--it's like I just can't separate my situations!

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 02:25 (twenty years ago)

Well, I can form sentences, which is a good sign. I've just discovered that listening to my iTunes makes me cry. Too many songs w/ associations. Memo to self: never again be emotionally involved with anyone in the music industry, you will never be able to listen to music again.

I was actually sitting here trying to figure out precisely what my problem is. Is it that tight little pain in the stomache? The dizzy, sad feeling? I mean what *is* it really that is putting me into such a ridiculous state.

xpost

I guess the short answer is that I'm pretty emotional right now, but I'm trying to understand it.

Thanks for asking! :)

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 02:28 (twenty years ago)

Sometimes the whys don't matter - just have to remind yourself that feeling low is okay, too... and it's hardly as though your life is easy right now. I wish I could give you a big hug, sugar.

aw thanks. that means an awful lot to me right now. it does.

isn't that, like a GALLON?!!!!

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 02:32 (twenty years ago)

I wonder if I could drink a gallon of anything.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 02:34 (twenty years ago)

probably. at $2 per 16 oz. can i couldn't pass it up, tho.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 02:35 (twenty years ago)

Anyway, kissing someone with coffee breath is okay if you have coffee breath, too.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 02:36 (twenty years ago)

right now i've got old milwaukee and veggie dog breath.

i always feel self-conscious when kissing in the morning.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 02:38 (twenty years ago)

Me too. I keep mints next to the bed.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 02:40 (twenty years ago)

Lately this is a non-issue for me, however - the only one who wants to kiss me first thing in the morning is my dog, and she has worse breath than me.

No, no tongue.

No, no, I think it's okay. Since it's been awhile there, too, I'm just gonna take a moment with that image, if you don't mind.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 02:43 (twenty years ago)

Thanks. No really.

Beacuse this is the thread where I say, I am am going to say: unexpected death and the live vultures that surround it kill the spirit of passerby. So far I have seen, needless death, obfuscation of the existence of the will, the sending of the son into court custody, the hiding of assets, mercilessly mean gossip and threats directed towards anyone who criticizes this, Patrick at the wake saying disgustedly "Why are we still here?", no respect for the dead, Suzy making fun of the grief of friends of the dead, showing contempt for the other significant others of the deceased, and showing contempt for the legacy of the desceased. That is on top of the loss itself. The only person who ever understood me is gone, the only person who stood by my side even when I hated him, and who was there when I came out the other side, who was my lover, my friend, my teacher, and the only person of his kind on the planet, no matter what anyone says. Fuck you, Suzy and your hate of Greg, your demonization of Betsy, and your fucking over of his son Tristan. Fuck you Patrick and your paranoia and intimidation. You would both have been nothing without Greg. Had nothing. Fuck you Suzy, for dissing Paige, who truly loved Greg, at the wake, and for dissing Betsy, his 2nd wife and love of his life. How dare you forbid people to speak to her? Controlling, petty cunt.
Greg's life was short and complicated and because you didn't understand it you want to destroy everyone who did understand it. I'm glad I'm out of the music business now because I am beyond your power and you can go to hell. There is a reason you saw farm animals when you took acid--because you are too mundane to understand anything deep. Grasp at your straws and I pray the judges see through you and provide for Tristan's future despite all your efforts.
My last fuck you is reserved for Phoebe, who tortured that which she didn't understand, gave up Tristan, and never called upon the people who knew the truth. Did I not tell you there was a will? Now that it's come to light, let the courts decide. I could have told you so much more, had you asked.

Oh yeah, and then there's Rickey Wright, who deserves his own place in Dante's hell, but in comparison that seems pretty small. I guess it doesn't even deserve italics.

hstencil thanks for letting me get that out. it was like a mental constipation.

Fuck. We *do* have West Nile here. On top of those Africanized honey "killer" bees and fire ants. And cases of dengue fever have been reported locally. Many, many reasons to not only hate all of those ugly little insecty things that are outside but also to avoid the outdoors as much as humanly possible.

Markelby -- that picture was hilarious and classic and you two look SO made for each other. Well done, the both of you.

Stence, I'm so sorry you've been having chat skeeviness.

Orbit, anytime you need anything, y'know? Pillar of strength, all that. Also -- normally I would oppose people expressing things unedited, without the benefit of pseudonyms or stuff like that, that would make it difficult to figure out who the real players or situations are. This is one of those exceptions to the rule.

― The Kind and Benevolent Oracle of Dee (Dee the Lurker), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 03:36 (twenty years ago)

Orbit, I'm really sorry. People can suck. It takes a certain amount of faith to believe that people do not all suck. It's a good kind of faith, though, a solid kind, in that it actually can be rewarded sometimes.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 03:44 (twenty years ago)

i don't think that means anything!

Yeah, stence, I don't think it does, either. Not to be too negative or anything. But really:

"Let's have coffee."
"Maybe next week."

How long does coffee take?

You probably could have pushed a little on your end, too, but I'm not sure that you're sure that you care that much.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 03:46 (twenty years ago)

i don't. i only brought up not hanging out to see how she'd react.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 03:47 (twenty years ago)

Well, I'm also not sure you care as little as you say you do. I mean, you made it a topic of conversation here, after all.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 03:51 (twenty years ago)

Lemme ask, didja sleep with her? Was it good? Were there... words? Is she cool? What's so wrong with her that you don't care AT ALL?

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 03:52 (twenty years ago)

Or we can talk about something else.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 03:58 (twenty years ago)

we fooled around about five times, didn't have actual sex per se. it was good each time, i thot. we didn't really talk about it but she seemed to enjoy herself. she seems cool enough, i guess. it's not that i don't care at all, it's more that i'm befuddled.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:08 (twenty years ago)

Hey all.
That's fucking awful, Orbit.
That's fucking mundane, Hstencil.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:09 (twenty years ago)

yeah well life is surely more exciting in saskatchewan

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:11 (twenty years ago)

I'm not saying you're mundane, I just meant the IMing. Touchy, touchy.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:13 (twenty years ago)

stence, sounds like you're waiting for her to make the next move, and she's BEGGING for you to make the next move. Next time, it's like this:

"Coffee."
"Oh, I'm busy that day."
"I don't care. I'll meet you. Twenty minutes. Coffee."
"Oh, I don't know."
"Just do it."

Etc. She's clearly dying for you to be interested, but you won't give her an inch.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:15 (twenty years ago)

duh, kenan, it's because she blew me off for so long. why bother now?

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:19 (twenty years ago)

Because she wants someone to give a shit about her. She wants to be able to blow you off and then reel you in anyway, because she's just that fucking hot, and besides, she jerked you off once (or whatever). Give her the approval and get laid, or don't and stop answering her IMs.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:22 (twenty years ago)

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:24 (twenty years ago)

crikey. did you get all of that just from the IM exchange posted?

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:24 (twenty years ago)

she said she didn't want to date, dude.

i figure if you're 30 years old and you can't just ask for what you want, well, yeah.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:28 (twenty years ago)

xpost

Well, I dunno, what's your explanation? She wants his attention, but... doesn't want to see him ever again? That makes no sense, as stence has pointed out. So she likely wants his pursuit. It's likely -- very likely -- that she wants him to reaffirm, after a long period of ignoring him, that he's still a fool for her. The girl needs approval, damnit. And either he wants to give it to her or he doesn't.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:28 (twenty years ago)

the only thing i don't want to do is keep playing guessing games.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:30 (twenty years ago)

if they only went out a couple of times and she has been messaging him in a friendly type manner and enjoys hanging out with him, isn't there quite a good chance she wants to be his friend?

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:30 (twenty years ago)

xpost: you could always ask her straight out if she wants to be friends or friends with a view to something more?

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:31 (twenty years ago)

You could just ask her straight out what her intentions are.

xpost!

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:31 (twenty years ago)

i wouldn't be offended if i were the girl in the same situation and you asked me for clarification.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:32 (twenty years ago)

if they only went out a couple of times and she has been messaging him in a friendly type manner and enjoys hanging out with him

Apparently (and correct me if I'm wrong) they went out several times, fooled around a bit, and then she essentailly dumped him, or he dumped her -- doesn't matter. Then she mysteriously started IMing him again recently, a lot, and for no discernable reason. Except -- well, what? She want's to IM, but is hesitant to meet. So that's where I draw my conclusions from.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:34 (twenty years ago)

What have you got to lose by being straightforward?

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:35 (twenty years ago)

isn't there quite a good chance she wants to be his friend?

I feel this unlikely, somehow. Chalk it up to the "Kenan you know," or whatever.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:35 (twenty years ago)

ok 'several' times rather than a couple, whatever. i've been out with people a few times in the past and realised there was no spark but i would still like to be friends with them, some people are ok with that and some people aren't so maybe she was just trying to test the waters. maybe your conclusion is correct, i wouldn't have a clue. in fact i don't know anything about it other than what i read in this thread so perhaps i'll just shut up.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:36 (twenty years ago)

haha where'd stence go?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:38 (twenty years ago)

i have nothing to lose, but i also don't feel like it's worth the effort playing the hand, to make bad card game metaphors. like i could be like "so what the FUCK is up?" (uh, more tactfully, probably) but why bother? it's more wanting to know just outta, again, puzzlement more than actual "thrill of the chase" stuff at this point.

and quite honestly, that "thrill of the chase" stuff is overrated.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:38 (twenty years ago)

Ain't it, though.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:40 (twenty years ago)

and yeah, she said she didn't wanna date but it just sorta came outta the blue and i have no idea what that even means. we went out five times. to me that didn't imply relationship or even dating maybe -- at the very least, i'm not about to put terms on anything without the other person at least saying what they want/don't want.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:40 (twenty years ago)

i've been out with people a few times in the past and realised there was no spark but i would still like to be friends with them

I'm not arguing that my theory is correct, just that it's not totally sexist and insane.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:41 (twenty years ago)

i don't understand this "spark" thing. why would a person, say, let somebody sleep in their bed if there wasn't something there to begin with?

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:42 (twenty years ago)

that actually has nothing to do with imgirl. the manic depressive girl told me that she didn't "feel the poverbial 'spark'" with me, 2 days after we spent something like 16 hours together.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:43 (twenty years ago)

it's more wanting to know just outta, again, puzzlement more than actual "thrill of the chase" stuff at this point.

If I knew you better, I'd tell you you're being ridiculous. But it sounds like maybe it's not even as big of a deal as we non-HStencillians are making it out to be, so, um, what else have we got?

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:44 (twenty years ago)

well sometimes the things grow in intensity pretty quickly. other times...no. maybe spark wasn't the word needed. maybe burning all encampassing fire was needed.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:44 (twenty years ago)

as to your 'sleeping in bed' question - i dunno. i've done it more than once. loneliness? drunkenness? horniness? i really think she's the one that has the answers to all of your questions though.... if you're curious just ask her.

as for 'spark' - speaking for myself, it's just a word i use for attraction or a desire to have a sexual relationship with someone... personally i think it encompasses more than just physical attraction, you can have physical attraction and yet no spark.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:45 (twenty years ago)

i'm glad my loins weren't set on fire, frankly.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:46 (twenty years ago)

why would a person, say, let somebody sleep in their bed if there wasn't something there to begin with?

Takes one to know one, I guess. I've done it. It was ugly, and I felt shame. The only reason I would have again persued that same person is if I was very lonely.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:46 (twenty years ago)

nah stence, you should try it. a foolish girl once used deep heat instead of lubricant on me. fuck.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:47 (twenty years ago)

if you're curious just ask her

Oh ha bloody ha. As if she'll just tell you what she's thinking.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:47 (twenty years ago)

seriously tho, these experiences seem pretty distinct from one-night stands, which are totally different things. i wouldn't expect anything from that, but then again i hardly ever have them, because they're not that interesting to me.

xpost - i feel like there's been a couple times (see other thread) when i've done that, but i lost interest in it pretty quickly. i can't imagine sleeping with someone now if i didn't feel something in some way.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:48 (twenty years ago)

yeah but i guess not everyone necessarily takes that attitude to it hstencil.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:50 (twenty years ago)

nope. obv. it's a l'il silly to expect people to act alike, but i honestly don't see what there is to gain.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:51 (twenty years ago)

Well, I doubt any of us can really help you in any way, since we don't really know you, don't know the girl, and have only ourselves to draw from. Do you really want to have *our* relationships, good or bad?

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:51 (twenty years ago)

i wasn't really asking for help in the first place, tho i don't mind it as a topic of discussion!

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:52 (twenty years ago)

Since it's open to discussion, howzabout some far-fetched speculation...

Maybe the IMGirl isn't necessarily attracted to you, but she thinks that you might be a good sperm donor if she wants to have a baby, but also wants to save the high costs of going to a sperm bank.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:56 (twenty years ago)

maybe IMGirl is using hstencil's IM responses as the basis for a chat about guys she used to date on a parallel online discussion board.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 04:58 (twenty years ago)

huk, um, uh, i don't even know how to respond to that.

gem, tho she is very much an online kinda person (whatever that means), i doubt it.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 05:02 (twenty years ago)

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 05:05 (twenty years ago)

You don't have to respond to it, it's just idle/ignorant speculation.
I am jealous of kenan right now. I might eat some Pina Colada yogourt. Or have a cigarette.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 05:06 (twenty years ago)

it doesn't seem like speculation so much as ridicule.

I swear, I'm not making fun of you.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 05:37 (twenty years ago)

argh, so i hooked up with this girl on saturday night and we made plans to hang out again this weekend, but it was so nice and it's been such a while for me that it's hard for me to not feel a little eager about it. which is kind of killing me right now, since i want to play it cool.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 06:04 (twenty years ago)

i mean, at the very least, i just want to get a better read on the situation, to figure out if she's really into me. but i don't want to go overboard. i don't know. i'm not very good at casual dating.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 06:07 (twenty years ago)

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 06:08 (twenty years ago)

(xp) the idea of going on multiple dates with a single person, where you don't really communicate very much between each date, sounds like torture to me. i get the sense that this happens often, tho.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 06:10 (twenty years ago)

i know, i know, what am i complaining about, there is a girl who is potentially interested in me, etc. ... but let me have my emo moment!

kenan, your situation, well, that's a whole other ball of wax.

how was the reuben?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 06:12 (twenty years ago)

I ended up not going all the way. I mean, I stopped at the corner or Damen and Chicago and had the most awful cheeseburger ever. I'm not hungry anymore, though.

I worry about how others perceive my situation, john. Am I still justified in being hurt and angry and yet in love? Or have I stayed too long for anyone to respect me anymore?

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 06:15 (twenty years ago)

of course you are justified being in love. love's something you can't really argue with. but your happiness is another matter. i don't think respect has anything to do with it, i just see this relationship wearing you down in ways that make me sad for you.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 06:20 (twenty years ago)

i would talk more, but i have to get some sleep. call me sometime if you want to talk about this, tho.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 06:21 (twenty years ago)

Hi Gaz!

Orbit - I don't know what to say. Please try to stay strong, but as Luna said, it really is OK to feel down/sad. I hope you can find the courage to get through this. For what it's worth, I am thinking of you & all of my good thoughts are on their way to you. Plenty of virtual hugs are making their way over the sea too.

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 08:37 (twenty years ago)

Oh & Luna, that's a real asshat thing that this guy has done. Also, why did your friend tell you when anyone can see that it would upset you. I know it wasn't done maliciously, but still, get one clue ppl!! Try to rise above it & not lower yourself.

City's breaking down on a camel’s back.
They just have to go 'cos they dont hold back
So all you fill the streets it’s appealing to see
You wont get out the county, 'cos you're bad and free
You've got a new horizon It's ephemeral style.
A melancholy town where we never smile.
And all I wanna hear is the message beep.
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I dont get sleep, no..

BEEP

Windmill, Windmill for the land.
Learn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sticking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let’s turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats,
Lining them up like ass cracks,
Ladies, homies, at the track
its my chocolate attack.
Shit, I'm stepping in the heart of this here
Care bear bumping in the heart of this here
watch me as I gravitate
hahahahahahaa.
Yo, we gonna go ghost town,
this motown,
with yo sound
you're in the place
you gonna bite the dust
Cant fight with us
With yo sound
you kill the INC.
so dont stop, get it, get it
until you're cheddar header.
Yo, watch the way I navigate
ahahahahahhaa.
(Feel Good[4x])

Dont stop, get it, get it
we are your captains in it
steady,
watch me navigate,
ahahahahahhaa.
Dont stop, get it, get it

SubDUDE, What's going on??

Jaymc, I'm excited for you. I bet this girl is getting all giddy with anticipation too. How far away does she live/work from you? I mean, would it be hard to meet up before then? Maybe she's hoping you'd suggest it. Have you tried emailing her and making small talk?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 12:35 (twenty years ago)

Pink, thanks for askin'! I'm good. And YOU? How you doin'?

I just finished reading a ridiculous book called Shopaholic and Sister and have just started Dinner for Two. Both are very British, so I'm learning all about Cumbria and Boots and fancy jams.

Hey Chris! Hey pink! Hey everyone else.

Chris, thank you for teaching me poker, which hasn't quite bitten me on the ass yet (or at least not overall). It's also been good for my mate Matt, who's been playing for 3 weeks and is $500 up so far. And I taught him, so once again, props to you.

Jaymc, it all sounds fun and lovely - you're allowed to get excited - I agree with what Sarah said just there.

Sarah, I love that pic of you and the pose! In case anyone was wondering, Sgs and I were being Upper Class Twits and don't really look ~~exactly~~ like that.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 12:39 (twenty years ago)

jaymc-don't play it too cool or she'll think you're not interested. You strike me as a pretty exciting and excitable kind of guy, and I like that in people and I think others do too, so just be giddy. Of course, I'm not very good at casual dating either, I tend to jump into things, so I know your hesitancy.
Chris! How's your elbow?
luna-he's a twat. I've had people say such things about me (for an entire semester at college) because they were just being insecure fucks.

Your pic is great, Markelby! I can't decide which is funnier - that pic or the g-kit pix where he's sticking his tongue out.

I had a signature pose when I was little which involved tilting my head really far to one side. I thought I was more beautiful that way. I think maybe it was just because I could pretend my hair was longer..?

Archel, have you changed your aim name?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 13:08 (twenty years ago)

I can't get on AIM here, but helllloooo, ARchel! How are you?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

I forgot to tell you all, I bought the Def Jam 10th Anniversary 4-CD set and book at a yard sale (plus Brazil on videotape), all for $5, at a yard sale this weekend. I am most excited about having "Regulate" by Warren G.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 13:32 (twenty years ago)

And it was at a yard sale!

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 13:40 (twenty years ago)

Tony Leung, Regulate, Brazil all = AWESOME.

Instead of writing my thesis yesterday afternoon, I watched some clouds out the window. I saw the following things in them: rabbit scratching its ear, two buddhas arguing, a guppy, and a hawk landing.

― sgs (sgs), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 13:44 (twenty years ago)

I'll go see what clouds are out now. BRB...

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 13:49 (twenty years ago)

Humph. Nothing fun - it's all just one big blurry mass right now.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 13:49 (twenty years ago)

Same here, no fun. Only thesis :(

― sgs (sgs), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 13:56 (twenty years ago)

whoa, okay, i take back what i said in the past about diego luna not being that hot.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:06 (twenty years ago)

Orbit, I'm glad you're still around and angry. Anger can be a good emotion. Hang in there.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:06 (twenty years ago)

Hey Sam, when is that 3rd interview?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:14 (twenty years ago)

1:30 pink, thanks for asking.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:17 (twenty years ago)

good luck! I just had a phone interview, I think I did well. I don't want to say what it was for though, too superstitious.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:20 (twenty years ago)

okay, guys, so here's the thing about the girl that makes me fearful of coming on too strong. or things, as the case may be:

1. after we first met and i e-mailed her, ostensibly to give her advice on an article she was writing (but mostly just to keep in touch), she didn't respond for 10 days.

2. when i replied to that e-mail to ask if she was going to be at the housewarming party on saturday, she never wrote back.

3. when i asked for her digits on sunday morning, she happily obliged, but then didn't ask for mine.

4. she hasn't responded to a voice mail ("just seeing how you're doing") nor a small friendster message (a question about a bulletin she posted about the singer donovan) that i left last night.

IN HER DEFENSE

1. she has been very busy for the past couple of weeks and is just now recovering from being very sick. she wants to hang out this weekend because she'll be free from all the work she has to do this week.

2. she is not, by her own admission, an "e-mail kind of person."

3. the phone call and friendster message were both within the last 15 hours. and she did respond to my initial friendster request.

SO i think part of it is that since i'm someone who's online all the time, i think i get impatient when i don't hear back from someone right away. and that's prob. unfair.

but i'm also realizing that every relationship i've had, i've either jumped into right away, or i was seeing the person on a regular social basis already, so i kind of already knew where we stood. i'm not used to hooking up with someone and then waiting to go on a date later. in my experience, the hooking up is what seals the deal!

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

(rather than throws everything into further question!)

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:24 (twenty years ago)

3. when i asked for her digits on sunday morning, she happily obliged, but then didn't ask for mine.

i think we established that this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:29 (twenty years ago)

yeah, that's probably true.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:32 (twenty years ago)

people who are not email people just mystify me--but my husband is totally that way! He's totally fine with technology, a good writer, and very social, but he just doesn't write email!

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

Sam, kick ass.

Orbit, my thoughts are with you. It sounds entirely appropriate to be angry so just go with it for a while.

Hstencil, no-one can toy with you without your own consent. Don't be afraid to tell IM girl what you really think. Honesty and sincerity are your source of power, and should she not be able to deal with it, you shouldn't be interested anyway.

Markelby and sgs, I had seen the photo but I said nothing 'cause it had stunned me into a rare silence. FWIW, sgs, I think you're kinda cute ma non diciamolo a Markelby ;)

Teeny, you to shall kick ass. It is written.

jaymc, have fun.

Everyone else, Hi!

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:38 (twenty years ago)

Er, Hi!

Sam, knock em dead lady! ;-)
Ooh Teeny, you too huh? Hope you get some good news soon!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:43 (twenty years ago)

JAYMC = YOU ARE THINKING TOO MUCH.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

PROBABLY!

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:47 (twenty years ago)

That's cool. You've gotta think about something, and it might as well be girls.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

My fingers are crossed for you both, Sam & Teeny.

Orbit - I've got my ass kicking boots on today - point me in the direction.

Jaymc - it's perfectly fine to be eager! (Girls like it!) I'd say if she hasn't responded, just sit on your hands and wait for her to, and if she doesn't, she's probably just busy and you'll see her this weekend. Also, I think you and Sarah should totally have a dance party before your date.

Stence - girls are weird.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 15:13 (twenty years ago)

i know, luna, that's why i like them.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 15:16 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, sorry, just stating the obvious there... I haven't had a coke yet.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 15:18 (twenty years ago)

oh, no worries, you weird girl!

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 15:20 (twenty years ago)

jaymc...you've done what you can. it's wednesday. the weekend is just around the corner!

― kelsey (kelstarry), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 15:21 (twenty years ago)

jaymc - it's good to be eager, but since you're seeing her this weekend and it's already wednesday you should probably chill. you've only hooked up/hung out once - it's most likely way too early to get an idea of how things are going from her, and she might get a little freaked out.

stence - you have to be very literal in situations such as the one with aim girl. basically, if she wanted to be dating then she wouldn't have called things off. she might want to be friends, she might want to mess with your head, she could be bored and thoughtless, she could feel guilty - who the fuck knows? take everything at face value, and if she goes ahead with making plans to hang out again then fine. otherwise, chat about stupid stuff but don't think there's anything behind it.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 15:23 (twenty years ago)

we still need to make concrete plans, tho. so i'm hoping she calls me back just to set a date.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 15:24 (twenty years ago)

sorry to make such a big deal out of this, it only happens to me like once a year.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 15:31 (twenty years ago)

She may just be like me and not really be online/e-mail much except at work. When I met Adrian on Friday I didn't talk to him again until the following Thurs. and had almost given up because our mutual friend was being a dork and forgot to give him my phone number as requested and gave my IM instead. Which I never use. Chin up!

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 15:31 (twenty years ago)

Jeanne - how was the wedding?

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 15:33 (twenty years ago)

i think sometimes the hardest thing is accepting the fact that things are out of your hands.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 15:35 (twenty years ago)

That's so true. It sucks ass, but it's true.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 16:49 (twenty years ago)

All of a sudden, I want to throw a birthday party. For whom, I have no idea. A kid's party. Sort of. I want balloons and punch and pointy party hats and a big fat cake with big fat roses made of pink frosting and there must be games (and maybe a little vodka) and lots of yelling and laughing and running and... yeah. A party.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

for some reason that description makes me want to add pony rides into the mix.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:00 (twenty years ago)

Why do you torment me at work with thoughts of this party? Why?

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:02 (twenty years ago)

We can totally have pony rides. And a petting zoo. No clowns though. Clowns wig me the fuck out.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:03 (twenty years ago)

I'm with luna on the clowns thing. Creepy McFreakpants.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

It's my birthday next week, and Sinkah's! Fly over to our FAP, Luna, and bring ponies and clowns.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

No clowns! I hate clowns!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

Deja vu!

I want a party. I should make frozen drinks tonight.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

There's something almost magical about the heavy sweet sugary smell of really good frosting/cake and candles.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

When's yr birthday, Martin? A week from today?

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:26 (twenty years ago)

jaymc - I keep forgetting it's already Wednesday. Wait it out then! Spend this extra time primping!

I would like to vote for yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting and a few sprinkles.

Spécialité du bordelais, le canelé est un petit gâteau à pâte molle et tendre, parfumée au rhum et à la vanille, et recouverte d’une épaisse croûte caramélisée. Il est aussi appelé cannelé, cannelet, canelet, millas-canelet, millason et est peut-être aussi le canaule (ou encore canaulé ou canaulet) qui se consommait au XVIIe siècle à Bordeaux. Le nom provient du gascon canelat qui signifie canelure. En forme de petit cylindre strié, d'environ cinq centimètres de haut et cinq centimètres de diamètre, il est croustillant et caramélisé à l'extérieur, moelleux à l'intérieur.

A specialty of Bordeaux, the canelé is a small cake with a soft, unctuous rum and vanilla flavored interior surrounded by a thick caramelized crust.

We are birthday buddies, Martin. (we may have had this conversation about a year ago)

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

ah, right - I'd forgotten. I will always remember Sinkah's, one day before us, since that is the one day of the year when there is a regular long-time ILXer as old as me, before I pull away again the next day.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 18:24 (twenty years ago)

I'm about to ask for some time off, for the first time in a year. But I'm going to ask for days that I normally do a lot of work on, and I'm going to have to explain that as a part-time employee who receives ZERO benefits, it's not really my concern what the hell goes on here while I'm away.
I think I will be unsuccessful.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 1 June 2005 19:47 (twenty years ago)

My reactions to all of the above: mmmmph.

My reactions to life in general at the moment: mmmmph.

In other words: mmmph.

You know those times in your life when you're getting burned out on life and just want to retreat within, indulge in selfish instead of selfless thought? Yeah, that'd be me at this time. I think I'll just let myself indulge away.

Are you weary of the lengthening days?
Do you secretly wish for November's rain?
And the harvest moon top reign in the sky (now that it's June)
There is nothing in this world more bitter than Spring
Now I wrote you this letter
Because the clothes were hung on the line
And the crows flew out of the field
And up into the sky
I'm lying here in the station
Stretching out on the tracks
For all the possible places that I might arrive
There is nothing in this world more bitter than love
In all those long days of June
Bring me the long, brown grass now that it's dry
There is nothing in this world more bitter than Spring

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 2 June 2005 02:50 (twenty years ago)

I'm the one on whom this life can't make too much impact
Ressurection City with the August heat and I'm laid out on my back
Some crouching low in abandoned rows and some got to run a machine
And there are some that will die when they realize that the force is the Nazarene

[He's waitin' on a star, waitin' on a phone call
Said it's time for the phone to ring
Doubtin' the star, time's just slippin' away]

Pulled in on empty, exit 22
The gas station was blocked off with burned out cars and I didn't know what to do
The gas station was on the tribal lands, operating tax exempt
Now the owners refused to give the Cheif his due so the tribe got a little upset
So anyways, about a quarter mile, I notice an Exxon sign
I filled my tank, told the cashier "thanks," and I moved on down the line.

[Telephone rang, made his day
Don't worry if I'm not here, just hold out tonight
And let time do it's thang]

Shockwave Rider

I recieved a message, I knew it was from Fuk Ching
The waxen seal clearly had been stamped by his gold medallion ring
I could not read the letter through the tears that filled my eyes
And then I knew if I tried to run, I never never could survive.

[I though Lethal Weapon was safe]

Have you heard about the Miami Boys, a buncha kids I used to see
When I lived up on Belmont Street tryin' to get high for free
The Miami Boys were just 8 years old back in '91
I remember one dope-sick afternoon when me and Matt sold them a gun
They asked "Does it got any bodies on it?", and I said "What the fuck is that?"
Man I still don't remember how much money we got, but I know we spent it fast.

the elbow is no longer crusty after some rigorous scrubbing with some sort of sugar thing my wife had and some aquaphor. im off to get the hair cut.

take care.

The party isn't until the weekend, Pinx

One of my least-liked co-workers - a 17-year-old mechanic who is a complete twat - just came into my office without knocking and said "so are you going to the party or what?" My reply: "I said earlier, I haven't fucking decided. Now piss off."

― caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 2 June 2005 12:20 (twenty years ago)

haha, sweet! let me know what you decide!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 June 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

I should add: this was a follow-up to a conversation we had earlier, when I was hanging around in another part of the office.

Him: "You look like you're fucking dead. You're making the place look like a fucking graveyard. If you're going to be that gloomy and not cheer up a bit, then fuck off."

To which I replied: "I'll fuck off, then," and did.

I don't have to put up with the truck drivers for very long; Head Office isn't going to be a truck depot in a few months time, and I don't have much to do with the haulage division at all workwise.

― caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 2 June 2005 12:31 (twenty years ago)

I used to have to put up with foul-mouthed realtors. They're just as bad, I imagine.

In cat news, this morning Nick was petting my kitty Pepper. She was being very nice about it and looked very happy. Then she started projectile hairballing all over the place. Yuck! I used to do this to my mom when I was little though, so I guess I deserve it.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 2 June 2005 12:47 (twenty years ago)

The interview went ok I think but still no word. I heard from three other positions yesterday that want to interview me though.

I'm having lunch with a friend today then might go look at doggies. I have to do some of the buttload of dirty dishes first even though it isn't my turn. They're that bad.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Thursday, 2 June 2005 13:50 (twenty years ago)

Three other potential interviews?? That's great!

What kind of doggie do you want? Big? Small? In between? As mixed and mutt-looking as possible? Like a cute kind of ugly?

I also have to wash a "buttload of dirty dishes" when I get home. I will open the windows and blast some rock music to help me through the hard times.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 2 June 2005 14:03 (twenty years ago)

We want a medium-sized dog. We like labs but it would have to be a small one. I don't want a dog with long hair.

We went and saw a free Lil' Flip concert last night. G. heard about it on the radio but then was kind of afraid to go as it was in a park right next to the Booker T. projects. I also suspected it might be a melee but figured if it looked too bad we could just leave. It wasn't nothin'. didn't even get mosquito bites.

YET ANOTHER CHAPTER IN MY STUPID IDIOTIC LIFE.

I had jury duty yesterday. I had to report to the court at 8:45 yesterday morning. Want to know when I remembered about this? AT 8:30.

I literally fell out of my apartment and into a car service. I forgot to
take the pocket knife off my keychain...bad idea. The stupid fucking metal detector kept beeping when I walked through it and I yelled at the cops "I CAN'T TAKE MY BELT OFF 'CUZ THEN MY PANTS WILL FALL DOWN." They let me walk through.

I walked through downtown during "rush hour" yesterday with my fly open and had the CYE theme on my headphones.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 2 June 2005 14:36 (twenty years ago)

I'm ready to be less one lizard. fucker always scratching me up.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Thursday, 2 June 2005 14:50 (twenty years ago)

Should I post this pic on the "what do you look like" thread?

(it's a link deliberately!)

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 June 2005 14:59 (twenty years ago)

yes it's very cute!

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:00 (twenty years ago)

I love your hair!

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

Aww thanks! It's just that it's huge! The picture not me! haha.

Good news on the interview stuff Sam.

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:06 (twenty years ago)

You look v. cute. Are you capriciously remembering something you forgot that will have catastrophic results for some hapless man who has wronged you?

― Huk-L, Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:06 (twenty years ago)

Fab pic PP! Your hair looks great like that.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha that is an awesome pic, PP. You've got 'tude.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

Pink your cheekbones ROCK.

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

Yes, yes I am! Haha! It was actual for comic relief day. Jocelyn - sorry my hair isn't usually like that (red I mean). It's hella blonde now. Although, not as much as Colette!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

you should only post it if you want a flood of people telling you that they're crushed out on you!

― kelsey (kelstarry), Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:13 (twenty years ago)

Aww thanks guys! *group hug*

x-post

Kelsey, what other reason is there to post it? ;-)
I think I will.

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:14 (twenty years ago)

Pink, you should post pictures of yourself more often! 2 QT!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:15 (twenty years ago)

Haha, it must be a good angle or something, but it hides my other chin! *blush*

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:16 (twenty years ago)

i don't know what we should have for lunch today. . .sushi? mexican? deli?

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:46 (twenty years ago)

I can't stop eating! Fortunately I brought some fairly healthy food to work today. So far I've eaten a cinnamon raisin bagel, a peach, a granola bar, and some reduced fat Cheez-Its, and I still can't wait until lunch. Hungry.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 2 June 2005 16:02 (twenty years ago)

je4nne, i forgot to send back my jury questionnaire thing, so that'll be my scenario in a couple months, too.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 2 June 2005 16:07 (twenty years ago)

Just be sure you remember the date, like, sooner than 15 minutes before you have to be at court.

― Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Thursday, 2 June 2005 16:10 (twenty years ago)

How was it, Jeanne? Did you get on a case? In the UK you don't have to be there till about 10am, and it all finished by 4.30. However, if you get stuck without a case, those 6 hours are the most tedious in the world*

*unless you fall in with a group of exceptionally loud Jamaican women, as I did, for some reason

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 2 June 2005 16:11 (twenty years ago)

I've never ever been called for jury duty.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Thursday, 2 June 2005 16:13 (twenty years ago)

It's very cute, Pinx...

I don't have much to say this morning - the new guy who started yesterday to replace Juliana (another secretary) called in today and said um, yeah, hi, I'm not coming back, so the search begins again! Meanwhile I get to work for his anal boss while we wait. Goody.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 2 June 2005 16:14 (twenty years ago)

so my car might be totaled! I find out later today.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 2 June 2005 16:22 (twenty years ago)

Jesus, what HAPPENED?

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 2 June 2005 16:23 (twenty years ago)

It really wasn't much! I guess it just got hit in the right way. And these new cars are designed to absorb all the impact (which is exactly what happened, I barely felt a thing considering) and that's just what happened, the body kind of crumpled a bit and so some rather large parts need to be replaced. Add the whole front fender, the hood, radiator, all the other stuff behind the grill, not to mention the air bags...and the repair cost really starts to add up.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 2 June 2005 16:33 (twenty years ago)

I might have a line on a job in a city I dislike, doing more of the kind of thing I'd really like to do less of, but for serious grown-up house-buying kind of money.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 2 June 2005 16:42 (twenty years ago)

Not to overstate the obvious, but I'm really thankful TeenySquared is unharmed.

― Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Thursday, 2 June 2005 16:44 (twenty years ago)

Seriously OTM.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Thursday, 2 June 2005 16:47 (twenty years ago)

Me too. Yay crumpled car!

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 2 June 2005 17:12 (twenty years ago)

I've never been called to jury duty either. What names are they drawing from?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 2 June 2005 17:17 (twenty years ago)

Hapless shmucks like yours truly.

― Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Thursday, 2 June 2005 17:18 (twenty years ago)

What, where? Teeny gets in car accident and Jeanne is on jury duty? Maybe it's related and there's an anti TITTWIS plot.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 June 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

they take names for jury duty from voter registration rolls. another reason why a lot of people don't vote.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 2 June 2005 17:24 (twenty years ago)

I don't vote in NY, I don't have a NY license, I have no phone.

― Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Thursday, 2 June 2005 17:26 (twenty years ago)

Completely unrelated... Is there a way to search through your own past blog entries? Today someone commented on my blog that they thought I hated 50 Foot Wave. So, I was wondering what would give anyone that idea. Hmmm... Maybe I said something negative about them at some point? I figure it would have been in one of my old Diaryland entries, but there are almost 400 of them! Are you able to search Diaryland? What about LJ? I'm just wondering, because it would be really handy to be able to search for little factoids about my own life in the future.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 2 June 2005 17:31 (twenty years ago)

Was this a stranger?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 June 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)

No, but I haven't seen him in 7 years (an exbf's little brother who has a similar music taste to yours truly - we used to copy cds for each other all the time).

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 2 June 2005 17:36 (twenty years ago)

Every time I've been called for potential jury duty, it has involved sitting around in a courtroom for a couple of hours before being told that the trial is off, or postponed.

― caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 2 June 2005 17:43 (twenty years ago)

here at least they stopped choosing juries via voter registration years ago and now use driver's license records.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Thursday, 2 June 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

Everytime I see this thread, it makes me want a banana split.

― Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Thursday, 2 June 2005 19:12 (twenty years ago)

we went to the humane society after lunch but there weren't many dogs there. There were however tons of kitties. oh why can't I have a big country house where tons of cute kitties could be housed. :(

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Thursday, 2 June 2005 19:13 (twenty years ago)

I think they use tax returns or something for Jury Pools here.
I got a letter asking me to report once, but I was out of town for a year.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 2 June 2005 19:22 (twenty years ago)

they're still not sure if the car is totaled, they have to look at it some more.

but I got a callback for the job interview!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 2 June 2005 23:54 (twenty years ago)

congrats!

congrats teeny etc etc. thats a nice photo PinXorchiXoR. nothing like i imagined you though. not that i didn't imagine you'd look nice.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 3 June 2005 07:17 (twenty years ago)

Haha, that's always so fascinating when ppl say that! What did you imagine?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 June 2005 07:19 (twenty years ago)

i imagined your face was different. i dunno why. you look very english.

he is very blonde, isn't he.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 3 June 2005 07:44 (twenty years ago)

In a year, you should tell the blonde guy that that's how you found him. You were digging on the beach one day...and that's where babies come from!

― Huk-L, Friday, 3 June 2005 07:46 (twenty years ago)

hey oops. how they hanging? yes. i was too.

haha huk ok!

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 3 June 2005 07:47 (twenty years ago)

i used to be that blonde, too. still have a lock of hair from my first cut to prove it.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 3 June 2005 07:49 (twenty years ago)

Do I look english? Is that good or bad? haha.
Your kids are the cutest Gaz, I just want to give them a big squeeze! What about a picture of you though huh?

Hey Huksta, you're up late aren't you?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 June 2005 07:49 (twenty years ago)

the thing with kids is...there are no photos of me

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 3 June 2005 07:50 (twenty years ago)

I'm a good uncle, but I think I'd be a terrible father. I'm absolutely addicted to testing the limits of kids credulity.

xpost, yeah. I should be off toot sweet, but The Future happens tomorrow, and I've got to be prepared.

― Huk-L, Friday, 3 June 2005 07:50 (twenty years ago)

Oh yay Huk! Good night!

Aww Gaz, come on man!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 June 2005 07:59 (twenty years ago)

next week i'll try and find one and scan it.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 3 June 2005 08:10 (twenty years ago)

Coolio! In the mean time, more cute kids!!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 June 2005 08:12 (twenty years ago)

i wish i could have seen that, mark!

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 3 June 2005 09:07 (twenty years ago)

I did jury duty once & I actually had to be removed from the case! *blush*

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 June 2005 09:09 (twenty years ago)

yes, fair enough...no...why?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 3 June 2005 09:11 (twenty years ago)

Haha! I knew the policeman who was involved in the case!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 June 2005 09:18 (twenty years ago)

Good morning. The Hold Steady was so great last night! It was like one big party. :-D

Huk, I think I would make a great aunt, but my sisters aren't planning on having kids any time soon. We're all playing the waiting game hoping someone else will go first.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 12:48 (twenty years ago)

Sarah, when I have a baby you can be an honourary overseas auntie!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 June 2005 12:52 (twenty years ago)

I drank too friggin much last night.

― Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Friday, 3 June 2005 12:52 (twenty years ago)

Aww jeanne, was it worth it though?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 June 2005 12:54 (twenty years ago)

What were you drinkin', jeanne? I only had a few sips of beer and still had a sour belly this morning! My belly needs to toughin' up if I'm ever going to be a rockstar.

Thanks, Pink! AUNT SARAH just sounds right, don't you think? Like Aunt Sarah's Pancake House or every Aunt in every Disney movie ever...

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 12:56 (twenty years ago)

If you own a pancake house I want you to be MY auntie!!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 June 2005 12:58 (twenty years ago)

Beer. I'm not hurting too bad. But thanks for your concern. ;)

― Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Friday, 3 June 2005 13:02 (twenty years ago)

i love the hold steady. phil-two has a massive crush on the singer, for some reason. have you heard lifter puller, sarah?

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 3 June 2005 13:08 (twenty years ago)

The Hold Steady was great. More bands should drink champagne on stage.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 3 June 2005 13:10 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I love THS too. They're glorious. And they got rock n roll guitars! (Craig kinda resembles the Ver!zon guy, now that you mention it...)

― Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Friday, 3 June 2005 13:12 (twenty years ago)

yes, that's why phil likes him so much.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 3 June 2005 13:13 (twenty years ago)

i thought i'd better pop up at this point and say rrrrrrrrannigbrakaaaaa. because i am going out of my mind with boredom. where is one of them friday wasting time threads?

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 3 June 2005 13:23 (twenty years ago)

You have arrived Sir!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 June 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

I'm ready to waste some time!

I've been at work for over an hour and a half and there is still no one else is here on my side of the office. I finished my daily chores in 5 minutes and now I'm just playing online and answering the phone once every 20 minutes or so and then transferring the call.

I'm just glad I haven't started falling asleep yet, since I was out so late.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 13:43 (twenty years ago)

g-kit, Stick your tongue out! Entertain me!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 13:43 (twenty years ago)

That could be misinterpreted with tragic results.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 3 June 2005 13:44 (twenty years ago)

it's hard to know quite how to react sometimes.

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 3 June 2005 13:45 (twenty years ago)

ok, i composed myself.

i'm afraid you'll have to wait it out til autumn before i next extend my tongue toward a camera. or at least see the results of such. sorry and all that. wouldn't want you to think i was like, an egomaniac or something.

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 3 June 2005 13:49 (twenty years ago)

AAAAAGGGGGHHHH, I hate The Future. They called me at work FIVE MINUTES after I left yesterday, and then they didn't call me at home, even though they damn well have my number.
Fuck!
And now it's too early to call them, so I have to wait about, I don't know, is it okay to call people after, say, 10? 10 seems like an okay time.

― Huk-L, Friday, 3 June 2005 13:52 (twenty years ago)

muhh??

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 3 June 2005 14:03 (twenty years ago)

Call them at 9 Huk! 9 is totally acceptable!!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 June 2005 14:07 (twenty years ago)

I'm a lousy aunt. For my nephew I was spot on, always seeing him and everything. But then my brother proceeded to have another every year afterwards and it just became too much. I figure when they get a bit older I'll explain it to them and make up for it. I'm just "tia".

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Friday, 3 June 2005 14:08 (twenty years ago)

How about 9:30?
Since it's already 20 after.

― Huk-L, Friday, 3 June 2005 14:18 (twenty years ago)

i can't remember which thread teeny talked about the benefits of between the sheets whilst pregnant, but i just read a gossip column where britney spears says the same thing! gasp! it must be true then!

― kelsey (kelstarry), Friday, 3 June 2005 14:18 (twenty years ago)

g-kit, I post pix of myself online all the time and I'm not ego... oh, never mind.

That's great about Britney! I'm so happy for her, y'all!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 14:32 (twenty years ago)

i'm just trying to worm out of the fact that i don't have any more pics of myself indulging in hott tongue action.

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 3 June 2005 14:35 (twenty years ago)

Yesterday I was riding my bike home from work and I was pedalling really hard down this hill and all of a sudden I got a sharp pain in the right side of my ass. I think I pulled a muscle or something. I had to get off my bike and walk a couple of blocks to walk it off, and it's still kind of tender back there.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 3 June 2005 14:38 (twenty years ago)

yesterday i got so pissed off at dumb drivers that i think i yelled "you're a fucking asshole" to three different people.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Friday, 3 June 2005 14:40 (twenty years ago)

They need special "FUCK YOU!" horns for bikers.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 14:49 (twenty years ago)

Argh I cannot get this stupid fuxing thing to work! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Stupid spreadsheet!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Friday, 3 June 2005 14:50 (twenty years ago)

Can I get a COMPUTERS ARE DUMB! ?? I have to restart mine at least twice a day (the one at work). I'll just click on a program to open it or try to access a recent document and it will say I'm not authorized. I think it would be a little more enjoyable if it displayed something like the ILX POXY FOOL message and said, "You know, I just don't FEEL like opening that. Is that OK with you??"

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 14:51 (twenty years ago)

I am dialing The Future!

― Huk-L, Friday, 3 June 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

VOICE MAIL!

― Huk-L, Friday, 3 June 2005 14:57 (twenty years ago)

Huk, Did you see Primer?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 14:59 (twenty years ago)

No, I don't even know what that is!

― Huk-L, Friday, 3 June 2005 15:00 (twenty years ago)

It is a great movie about time travel! Your vm to the FUTURE reminded me of a part in it where this guy's wife is calling him on his cell phone, but there are currently two versions of himself - the present version and the one from the future. So then he and his friend are trying to figure out the repercussions if both phones are ringing.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 15:19 (twenty years ago)

Primer site

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 15:22 (twenty years ago)

OH, I remember seeing something about that. I must see it now!

― Huk-L, Friday, 3 June 2005 15:27 (twenty years ago)

I'm eating perhaps the fattiest vegetarian sandwich ever made--cheese and avocado with olive oil. mmmm.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 3 June 2005 16:04 (twenty years ago)

haha.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 June 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

You know it's going to be a busy as all git out day when your boss starts calling you at home before 8 am.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 June 2005 16:26 (twenty years ago)

I think I have bitched about this before, but: I am one of two workers in my office that has a specific lunch time (because we answer the phones, and we have to make sure someone's always answering the phone). Everyone else can eat lunch whenever they want. My lunch starts at 12:30, so I just went to pop my food in the microwave, and one of my coworkers is already using it, to cook something that takes 15 MINUTES to cook IN THE MICROWAVE. THAT IS ONE-THIRD OF MY TOTAL LUNCH TIME, which I have to wait, before I can even START to make my lunch. And what is the point of making food that takes 15 minutes to cook in the microwave? Microwave is supposed to be FAST. Dumb.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 3 June 2005 16:32 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, Nick. I am about to eat some birthday cake. I will also eat some for you. I hope that helps.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 16:41 (twenty years ago)

FUCK!

― Huk-L, Friday, 3 June 2005 16:46 (twenty years ago)

The Future, why do you have to be so capricious?

― Huk-L, Friday, 3 June 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

What's going on, Huk?

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 3 June 2005 17:03 (twenty years ago)

Brooklyn is dirty and ratty-looking.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Friday, 3 June 2005 17:05 (twenty years ago)

And lovable, don't get me wrong. But I had forgotten just how clean Chicago is before I came to New York.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Friday, 3 June 2005 17:06 (twenty years ago)

That's funny, kenan, 'cause I thought it looked nicer than I had anticipated.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 3 June 2005 17:07 (twenty years ago)

The sassafrassin' Future is more disorganized than I am (and that's saying something!), and I've been cut at the last minute for reasons that have nothing to do with me or my skills. In fact, they're keeping my skills and just dropping me. They're still paying me, and they really want to work with me again in...(their words)...THE FUTURE!!!

― Huk-L, Friday, 3 June 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

The future loves you, but do you love it?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 3 June 2005 17:09 (twenty years ago)

xxpost The graffiti is really ridiculous. I mean, come on, guys. Buy some paint, do something. The subways stops are in particularly sad shape -- some of them look abandoned, save for the fact that trains run through them. The whole city seems to be rusting.

― kenan does not care to log on, Friday, 3 June 2005 17:10 (twenty years ago)

Where in Brooklyn are you? Actually, I forget why you're there in the first place ... vacation? Work?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 June 2005 17:11 (twenty years ago)

I'm staying in Park Slope, um... kinda. 5th an 5th. I just came back from Williamsburg, and it was like, people live here? And they pay WHAT?

― kenan does not care to log on, Friday, 3 June 2005 17:13 (twenty years ago)

I miss home, to tell you the truth. WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE PLANT A FUCKING TREE. YOUR CITY IS DEPRESSING.

― kenan does not care to log on, Friday, 3 June 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

Park Slope had plenty of trees when I was there last month, most of them in glorious bloom too.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 3 June 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

Kenan, I love visiting New York, but at some point during every visit I freak out just a little about ALL THE PEOPLE and feel poor and unimportant, but only for a little bit.

When are you getting back? Will you make our movie night Saturday?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 17:18 (twenty years ago)

So I finally gave in and went to the doctor to get amoxicillin for the sinusitis I've had for the last couple weeks and good thing too, apparently. I'm sitting here crying out of my right eye from all the pressure and my vision is weird. My monitor looks warped and my keyboard looks odd too.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 3 June 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

I had amoxicillin once when I was 5. I broke out in a strange rash and got lots of Lego. I was (not very, but enough) sick a few times as a kid, and I have dim memories of the doctors and hospitals, but I have strong memories of my parents buying me new Lego sets whenever I had to be quarantined. Being sick was awesome!

― Huk-L, Friday, 3 June 2005 17:26 (twenty years ago)

I'm not allergic, Huk, I just try to be responsible about taking anti-biotics.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 3 June 2005 17:30 (twenty years ago)

I guess that would be obvious since the Dr. prescribed them to me, but hey my brane's all squooshy today and my thought processes are sluggish at best.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 3 June 2005 17:31 (twenty years ago)

When are you getting back?

I'll be back Sunday night.

Manhattan is great. Alex in NYC's neighborhood is my favorite place so far, and I want to live there. Taking pictures at night is a gas. Every street has something soul-stirring at the end of it. Last night I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge at 1 in the morning, and was awed by it -- it's a bridge, it's a cathedral, it's maybe the preeminent engineering achievement of the 19th century, it'll outlast my grandchildren's grandchildren. It's really quite a place to be.

And yes, there are trees in Park Slope. And, not coincidentally, a park. And a museum (I'm going to see the Basquiat exhibit Sunday, and probably the Diane Arbus exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum tomorrow, but I digress), and a zoo, and a Botanical Gardens, and -- yeah, there's some real nice stuff going on around here.

But Downtown is such a hole. Seriously -- a pit of despair. Dirty and unkempt and rusty and generally looking like it needs a shower, a shave, and some goddamn self esteem.

Don't forget to finish the bottle, M.W.
The doctors couldn't decide if I was actually allergic to it or if it was a response to something else.
I spent a lot of time in doctors' offices as a kid. I was dumb and fearless. Now I'm just dumb.
One time, my ear was all red, and since I'd had a lot of ear infections, my mom took me to the doctor, and when he stuck his scope my in ear, he discover a considerable deposit of Play-Doh. Ha ha ha ha! I was so cute.

I missed the Basquiat. :( The Arbus show I found ho-hum but don't miss the Max Ernst.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 3 June 2005 17:43 (twenty years ago)

Ah, well... looks like the Arbus ended May 30, anyhoo. Max Ernst it is.

I missed the Basquiat.

No, it ends Sunday. Go now!

(that's from the live action The Tick series, which I just got on DVD, i've been waiting all week for a chance to use it)

― Huk-L, Friday, 3 June 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

Even the thought of getting in an airplane is making me sick right now.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 3 June 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

i just went to the animal shelter to pre-screen some dogs. damn. . .that place is like a doggie concentration camp. all the dogs are nuts b/c they're locked up and it's hard to tell what they're going to be like. I tried to walk some but ended up getting walked.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Friday, 3 June 2005 18:07 (twenty years ago)

Guy at this party last nigh had a pit bull/corgi bitch named Tallulah. The thought of her conception left amused me.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 3 June 2005 18:12 (twenty years ago)

Ok, some pictures. There's no photoshop here, so there's are just resized, otherwise straight out of the camera.

Are you staying with a friend?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

delightful, k.

so i just friendster im'd my potential lass's friend (the one who had the party on saturday), who says that said lass has been sick all week. "usually i can't keep her off the phone," friend wrote, "but now it will only be five minutes so she can go lay down." and apparently i have just "caught her at a bad time."

so that sounds promising. i have decided i will stop worrying about THIS WEEKEND and just figure she'll call me when she's ready to call me.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 June 2005 18:40 (twenty years ago)

Maybe you could nurse while she's sick. Offer to bring her hot soup, or something.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 3 June 2005 18:42 (twenty years ago)

Are you staying with a friend?

Yep. Daniel Nester. You can look him up on Amazon if you like.

― kenan has poet friends!, Friday, 3 June 2005 18:44 (twenty years ago)

i hope i'm not whining and gabbing about this too much. like i said earlier, this kind of thing happens to me so rarely, i tend to get worked up about it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 June 2005 18:45 (twenty years ago)

Cool photos, btw, kenan.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 3 June 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

I just came back from Williamsburg, and it was like, people live here?

Watch yourself, fool.

― Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Friday, 3 June 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

So, jaymc, you didn't have specific plans for this weekend? Has she called them off or were you just worried about the lack of communication in the meantime?

Cool, kenan.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 18:47 (twenty years ago)

jaymc, if there's anything an internet message board loves to do, it's gossip about other people's lovelives and give them advice.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 3 June 2005 18:47 (twenty years ago)

Thank you, all. Many more to come!

― kenan, Friday, 3 June 2005 18:47 (twenty years ago)

no, sarah, we never had specific plans. it was always like, "yeah, let's hang out next weekend!" but we never set a date or anything.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 June 2005 18:51 (twenty years ago)

i guess it still worries me that she's made no attempt to contact me, even just to say, "hey sorry i've been totally sick, let's do this another time." but oh well.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 June 2005 18:52 (twenty years ago)

No offense, je4nne.

― kenan can't believe the rents in this town, Friday, 3 June 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

jaymc, whine/gossip away! I hope I don't seem too nosey - I'm just excited because I haven't had any dating experiance in such a long time, not even vicarious dating (not that I would wish singleness upon myself)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 19:00 (twenty years ago)

This is the fourth kenan pic that's my work desktop... (hope you don't mind).

I miss NYC.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 June 2005 19:12 (twenty years ago)

Which one?

― kenan, Friday, 3 June 2005 19:13 (twenty years ago)

I get to interview someone in 15 minutes for the position of ƒury's summer-intern-bitch. Sweet.

― Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Friday, 3 June 2005 19:16 (twenty years ago)

Oh oops - the last one. It's all gothic cathedral-y.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 June 2005 19:16 (twenty years ago)

I want a summer intern bitch!

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 June 2005 19:17 (twenty years ago)

I'm a receptionist, so I doubt they'll be asigning me a summer intern bitch any time soon. He/she would stand by my desk. Whenever anyone gave me something to copy, I'd be like, "You know what to do," without taking my eyes off ILX.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 3 June 2005 19:22 (twenty years ago)

It's raining. This means I may not go take pictures of the 59th Street Bridge this afternoon. Or the Chrysler Building. Maybe stay inside here and listen to Miles Davis records. There are a whole assload of them in this apartment.

I didn't know this, but The Chrysler Building is one of those copyrighted things. You can't take a picture of it and use that picture in an ad or a magazine without permission. Like the Eiffel Tower at night, or the Bean in Chicago.

― kenan, Friday, 3 June 2005 19:34 (twenty years ago)

Aw the interview is a gawky skinny boy with fuzzy hair and glasses. And he's a big literature nerd. Yay nerds!

― Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Friday, 3 June 2005 19:41 (twenty years ago)

Jessa's been interviewing interns as well, someone to work in the apartment and do crazy difficult shit like make spreadsheets and go to the post office. She demands nerds.

― kenan, Friday, 3 June 2005 19:43 (twenty years ago)

yeah sorry kenan teh weather is supposed to be bad here this weekend.

btw if you're not doing anything tomorrow night, and want to go to a noize show, get in touch. i booked what looks to be a pretty decent time.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:45 (twenty years ago)

also luna you should come visit nyc sometime!

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:46 (twenty years ago)

I want to... Hoping to sometime around the end of October, maybe.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:55 (twenty years ago)

ah man i think that's when i'll be in portland.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 3 June 2005 21:57 (twenty years ago)

I'm in for the night. The Drizzle has foiled my plans to commit crimes.

The only question now is, wht do I listen to? Here are the choices, as far as I can see:

1) Mojo Magazine presents Acid Drops, Spacedust & Flying Saucers: Psychedelic Confectionery from the UK Underground 1965-69 (four disc set)

2) Velvet Underground - VU

3) Krush Groove - Music from the original motion picture soundtrack

4) Boston (first album)

5) Ll Cool J - Walking with a Panther

― kenan, Saturday, 4 June 2005 01:25 (twenty years ago)

#1 with a bullet

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 4 June 2005 01:26 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, but it's such an investment of time and attention, it seems. Maybe just side one of Boston before I get started.

Oh man. You know what? It really *is* more than a feeling.

― kenan likes to rock out, too, you know, Saturday, 4 June 2005 01:29 (twenty years ago)

Boston requires beer.

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 4 June 2005 01:37 (twenty years ago)

This copy of Boston is great. The cover trumpets "Half Speed Mastered - Extended Range Recording." Like there's any possible way to make it rock any more than it does.

― kenan also thinks that it's been such a long time, Saturday, 4 June 2005 01:37 (twenty years ago)

Oh, there's beer. I'M TAKIN' MY TIME! OMG THIS IS A SERIOUSLY FINE ALBUM.

― kenan, Saturday, 4 June 2005 01:38 (twenty years ago)

You know what? Fuck listening to things I have never heard before. I want the rock. Next up: Queen. Lots and lots of Queen.

― kenan likes queen a lot, in case you didn't know, Saturday, 4 June 2005 01:41 (twenty years ago)

Killer Queen is a must.

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 4 June 2005 01:42 (twenty years ago)

I always listen to "We Will Rock You" in itchy anticipation of the guitar coming in. Brian May. Guitar by Burns of London. Amp by Vox. There is only one Queen guitar sound.

― kenan, Saturday, 4 June 2005 01:49 (twenty years ago)

True. I tend to like Day At the Races better than the others. A lot of great songs on there.

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 4 June 2005 01:50 (twenty years ago)

We only have fourteen hours to save the earth!

― kenan, Saturday, 4 June 2005 01:51 (twenty years ago)

Day at the Races and Night at the Opera. What band would dare to name two albums after Marx Brothers movies? What band would take this many chances and open itself to this much ridicule so brazenly? What band would bother to be so good while drawing so much indifference from boring, irrelevant 70's music critics? What incredibly great rock band is more misunderstood than any other in the history of misunderstood rock bands? This one.

― kenan, Saturday, 4 June 2005 01:56 (twenty years ago)

I am going to listen to Queen in solidarity, Kenan.

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 4 June 2005 01:58 (twenty years ago)

np: Somebody to Love

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 4 June 2005 01:59 (twenty years ago)

OH! My favorite Queen song, I think. They played it a Freddy's funeral.

― kenan, Saturday, 4 June 2005 02:03 (twenty years ago)

Orbit, I like you so much.

― kenan (kenan), Saturday, 4 June 2005 02:06 (twenty years ago)

Keeeennnnaaaaannnnnnn!
Crack me open a beer.

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 4 June 2005 02:10 (twenty years ago)

'k. I have no idea what this is. "Yuengling Traditional Lager." Is that like "youngling"?

He killed all the Yuenglings.

Haha! I have a choice this evening. I could go to Silverlake and drink beer with my friends or I could hang with Kenan and listen to Queen. What shall I do?

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 4 June 2005 02:16 (twenty years ago)

Not to downplay my wonderfulness, but real friends are always better than internet friends.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Saturday, 4 June 2005 02:17 (twenty years ago)

"Killer Queen" is playing right now, though.

Dynamite with a laser beam.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Saturday, 4 June 2005 02:21 (twenty years ago)

i wish that were true kenan!

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 4 June 2005 02:27 (twenty years ago)

Ok, it's true, you never have to clean up an internet friend's puke. Internet friends never smell, I'll give you that. But leaving the apartment is in many ways ALWAYS preferable to not.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Saturday, 4 June 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

I mean, if you stay home with us, you learn nothing, guaranteed.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Saturday, 4 June 2005 02:31 (twenty years ago)

On the other hand, I ain't going nowhere tonight, and I just listened to "Reet Petite" by Jackie Wilson (I'm off the Queen now) three times in a row, and I have learned a lot about by ability to love a song down to its bone.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Saturday, 4 June 2005 02:46 (twenty years ago)

I hope you went out Orbit. We went nowhere. My boy came home nearly drunk, grilled me some not-quite-done burgers, we watched a disturbing movie called "The Gift" which was written by Billy Bob Thornton and featured Keanu Reeves as a redneck wifebeater (I swear I knew none of this when I put in my queue). Now G. is passed out and I'm still wide awake. *sigh*

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Saturday, 4 June 2005 02:49 (twenty years ago)

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 4 June 2005 02:49 (twenty years ago)

I can't remember what Tep ever said about it, being the biggest Bowie fan I know of around here, but the first Tin Machine album is really good. The AMG review is spot on, saying that if it'd been released 5 or 6 years later it would've been a hit. I know there's lots of Reeves Gabrels hate over on ILM but the solo on "Heaven's In Here" is fucking awesome.

― Bryan (Bryan), Saturday, 4 June 2005 03:15 (twenty years ago)

I'm slightly high, kind of melancholy, but also kind of not and drinking a sort of warm negro modelo - what should I listen to?

OMG! Lemme help, because I love you more than most.

But I must know -- do you want to get more extreme, or do you want to wind down?

If I wanted to be all like, "SHIT! EVEYBODY LOVES ME AND I AM AWESOME AND MY MUSIC MUST BE LOUD!" I would put in the first or second Black Crowes album. It sounds lame now, but that's because you haven't listened to it recently.

And if I wanted to wind down, I would totally go for some Stan Getz. The world is goddamn full of Stan Getz. Doesn't matter the collaboration or the context: it's always the same chill Stan Getz. As an artist, his range is hilariously limited. But damnit, he'll chill you out any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Saturday, 4 June 2005 04:05 (twenty years ago)

I. Fucking. Love. the first black crowes album. You are a genius, and I love you desperately.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 4 June 2005 04:07 (twenty years ago)

well i guess i'll be going

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 4 June 2005 04:09 (twenty years ago)

Ain't it fucking great? The second one ain't nothing to shit on, either. As far as Rolling Stones clones go, man, they fucking nailed it shut.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Saturday, 4 June 2005 04:09 (twenty years ago)

I really want to have sex with Luna. I mean, really. I think even her horniest admirers here cannot approach the zeal with which I admire our Miss Aimee. She's funny, she's lovely, she's above all unknown. I may have a girlfriend, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't punch someone out cold to get at Aimee.

Ok, sorry, all too weird. I take it back.

You know "Sister Luck" is a total carbon copy of "Sway", right?

It is!

It's like, exact. And yet, for some reason, I don't hold it against Mr. Robinson that he totally and unashamedly ripped off Mr. Jagger and Mr. Richards. For whatever reason, that doesn't bug me. It's just a great song.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Saturday, 4 June 2005 05:51 (twenty years ago)

I don't know that I ever would have made that connection.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 4 June 2005 05:53 (twenty years ago)

Earlier in my journey through my friend's record collection I came across the soundtrack to the movie "The Electric Horseman," which is shit EXCEPT for Willie Nelson singing a FUCKING KILLER version of "Midnight Rider" by the Allman Brothers.

Time for a quick smoke and a flat mattress. Love you all, even if you're not Aimee.

I almost forgot to tell you -- I got an erection tonight. Not from anything terribly hot, just a girl. Sitting in a trains station. A pretty girl. I've seen prettier since then, maybe even tonight? Diner, coffee, food, hard dick? I haven't had that feeling in ten years, at least. (kenan's interjection
