"Even so, washing after intercourse is at least some precaution against AIDS

Um, I can't imagine that the kind of washing that would be required for this to be true would be preferable to, you know, condom.

Oh god, now I have "Lysol Douche" in my head. Great.

Ally it is so nice outside, maybe that is a little bit happy face emoticon? But hey we should drink, that makes everything so much better.

I heard on NPR this morning that if we all drink four cups of coffee a day our livers will be just fine with the alcohol abuse. PROVEN BY SCIENCE.

Hi ZR? Are you happy with your life?

quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 13:37 (nineteen years ago)

Coffee everyone--seriously! Get some now! (Tea no good, by the way).

The book also states that the douche is an acceptable method of woman's contraception, the only problem being that teenage girls do not tend to carry these with them.

Feel better Allz.

So basically if you just work your kidneys to the bone and piss 40 times a day you have less chance of toxins sticking around long enough to do lasting damage.

In Jr. High it was generally accepted that a can of Diet Coke would do the job in a pinch. Fortunately kids seem to have ready access to those things.

Fort Reno schedule is up. Set aside Thursday, August 3 as a day of feasts and celebration.

Stephen X (Stephen X), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

Sometimes I feel like Fort Reno Schedule announcement day is a bigger deal then any of the individual shows. BUT NOT THIS YEAR. Hard Tomorrows, Georgie James, The Fake Accents? I wouldn't want to be the "TBA" to follow that.

Stephen X (Stephen X), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

also q, yeah, i think i'm fairly happy with my life at the moment. i'm a little on the poor end of things right now thanks to recording costs (DIY is fucking expensive!), and of course i have a whole host of neuroses and complexes and self-defeating behaviors that are never going away just like everyone else does, but i've got my shit together about as well as i've ever had it right now. i'm happy w/my girlfriend, i'm happy with my friends and social life and housing situation, work is at least bearable if boring, i love my band and everyone in it, and i actually might accomplish a legitimate thing-i've-always-wanted-to-do (releasing record). but i just drank a lot of coffee so some of this is probably the dopamine talking.

also this is something to be very happy about: http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=triangle&id=4265345

Guys if I was single I would totally go on dates with random dudes from matchdotcom just so that ya'll could have FAP amusement.

THAT'S HOW MUCH I HEART YOU!

quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

You know what, I'ma start doing that anyway. Except I'll use eHarmony cos I'd like my objects of ridicule to be emotionally compatible with me on the 37 levels, you know?

...122 hours of beer (part 2) (teenagequiet), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

That would be great if all of the people attempting to fuck around with eHarmony got matched together.

Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

OK maybe I'd up the ante and go nervedotcom. Because the chances of my pulling a total freak would be pretty good, I bet.

xpost ZR, pls to post answers to roomie questionnaires here and we will pick perfect roomie for you!

quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 16:54 (nineteen years ago)

Let's just go to the "Anything Goes" section of CraigsList and see what that scores us.

Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 16:56 (nineteen years ago)

...122 hours of beer (part 2) (teenagequiet), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

jesus, people really want a place to live in DC, don't they? i posted an ad for a new roomie for my house about two hours ago and already have 11 responses.

which explains why, when i was looking for a sublet, all the inquiries I sent to craigslist ads could've just as usefully gone into a black hole.

does anyone want a late night shots invite? i want to give a bunch away before they delete my profile again.

p@reene (Pareene), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

Judging from what my observations at Ms. Significant's alma mater this weekend, going to strangers' high school reunions would be a great way to find your soulmate, especially if you're into emotionally vulnerable divorcees with kids.

After a few free beers total strangers kept trying to convince me we'd sat next to each other in Mechanical Drawing II during the first Bush administration.

Stephen X (Stephen X), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

Stephen you must have gotten about a lifetime's worth of exemplary-significant points for going to that thing!

i wanna see TNV for sure, but not necessarily the country teasers - noize advises we do, but driving logistics seems to say we shouldnt. ill totally drive - maybe you and IV can gimme a couple bucks for gas, but no biggie, cause im gonna go no matter what

SQUARECOATS (plsmith), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 17:44 (nineteen years ago)

by the way guys here's Andy W's latest update from his sojourn in LA.

I saw W1n0n4 Ryder yesterday. I was outside her trailer by accident. A movie friend of mine introduced me to a security guard so that I might get on a set as an extra. It was funny, because they were all 'brothers' and the subject 'sex' and 'booty calls' came up. So we were talking about "ass" and "bending his ol' girl over" the way traditional black guys talk about sex, outside her trailer. Then W1n0n4 stuck her head out. It was cool because she scanned my face to see who I was. We actually locked eyes. But I played it cool and kept talking about something else. She actually seemed not too stuck up. Then I got on the net and checked out imdb to see what movie she was filming. Sure enough, character name on her trailer was the same for the movie that was under the title "currently filming". It was all within an hour, so that was kind of surreal.

WELLENSPAWS, everybody.

If the subject matter is illegal, the agreement is void. If the subject matter is legal but the purpose is illegal, the agreement is enforceable only by the person who did not know of the illegal purpose.

So

A contract to kill someone = illegal, and the agreement is therefore void.
A contract to fly somewhere (a plane ticket) to kill someone = enforceable by the airline if the airline didn't know.

So, tell your airline the next time you fly to kill someone, and, if you have to cancel, they cannot enforce the contract and make you pay for the ticket.

I am, heretofore, going to be completely absurd about this bar study thing. Absurd and disdainful (thanks, Pete). Fuck this test - it can't fail me.

My former boyfriend almost failed his character interview by showing up half an hour late. Interviewer was not at all pleased and unleashed a tirade about how irresponsible and inconsiderate people such as him (the bf) were what gave lawyers such a bad name and formed the basis of sleazy-lawyer jokes.

Although our breakup was rather acrimonious, I have to give him credit for this:

Judge [REDACTED TO PROTECT THE DUDE] ordered deputies Wednesday to go to the department store [THAT WOULD BE THE LOCAL WAL-MART] after he failed to find enough possible jurors for a murder trial set to begin Monday. About half of the 150 jurors summoned for the case were excused or had their duty deferred, a court clerk said.

I can totally see him telling the sheriffs: "get on down to the Walmart and summon whoever you can find!"

quincie (quincie), Saturday, 17 June 2006 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know what it is exactly, P., but it is a week long and takes places this week in D.C. and seems to involve large numbers of very precocious rising high school juniors.

Re Tim, it's this Wednesday, so pick a place DCers.

Mary (Mary), Saturday, 17 June 2006 15:25 (nineteen years ago)

That Wal-Mart story is pretty awesome, actually. I'll bet those guys browsing for band saws never expected to get empanelled that day. "Department store"! It's like Nordstrom's with shotguns.

On her high-school reunion weekend, Ms. Significant's luggage was lost by the airlines and she ended up cobbling together an outfit for a semi-formal dance at the only store in town, a Wal-Mart Super Center. Tank top + bolero-ish jacket + fun skirt + colorful shoes = $36. Affordable! I kept advocating the "I'm breaking up with your boyfriend" novelty tees, but she showed restraint.

Stephen X (Stephen X), Saturday, 17 June 2006 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

Nice shopping chops. Wal*Mart is the closest shopping store to my house, but I haven't been in since over five years ago when my mom bought me towels there for my new NYC apartment.

However, Mr. Q is a sucker for a rock show and will no doubt be in evidence at Ft. Reno throughout the summer. And he threatened to actually come on here and post once in a while!

When the Segue scooter first came out, there was an announcement by the inventor that his new product would "revolutionize society" and "change cities fundamentally" without saying what it actually was. I was riding in my friend's car back from Seven Springs and the entire three hour ride he was saying "It's cold fusion. It's totally cold fusion."

No. It was just a rechargeable idiot cart.

quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:56 (nineteen years ago)

Q, I saw two science editor jobs for you under 'Writer' in the Sunday post--did you see them?

Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:57 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think there ARE jobs for me in this town, to be totally honest. I'm not a policy person or a scientist or an engineer, and I have neither a master's degree nor a military background so I'm not sure why I'm bothering. Maybe I could become a wedding planner, I saw an ad for that and they didn't seem to have any requirements whatsoever besides "being nice"??????

Because I don't like my current job at all. This was a really bad mistake.

Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:59 (nineteen years ago)

Mary--I did not! I've only looked online, and I haven't figured out if different ads run in print!

Darling husband, does your library have a copy of the Sunday post, or just weekdays?

Ally I am sad for your sucky job situation. You would be a badass and terrifying wedding planner, btw.

quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 14:03 (nineteen years ago)

I just love that I quit a really high paying job to go to school to better myself, and then moved to DC...to become a glorified admin with a 2/3 pay cut. WELL PLAYED ALLYZAY, WELL PLAYED. Truly, I am a master of champions. Maybe I should become the "hospitality coordinator" for the Evermay Society? I fear that will be a similar "glorified admin" type of thing though--there's a LOT of that in DC, what is up with giving admins ridiculous titles?

Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 14:08 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe I should stop looking for a fancy titled seemingly interesting position and bite the bullet and become an EA again. Those seem to be the only things in DC that pay over $30k if you aren't a scientist or engineer???

Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 14:09 (nineteen years ago)

Ally, would you like to design the website for the national zoo? Because I saw that job on Sunday and thought of you.

Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 17:57 (nineteen years ago)

Haven't moved yet -- I made a visit last month for a couple of interviews and to look for a sublet, and about all I got out of a was a nice brunch at Kramerbooks. I'm still torn between DC and NY, and more importantly, nothing has happened yet to convince me that I'll find a job quicker, or even be better off financially in the short term than where I am now. That said, at this point, i'm probably really only one major crisis short of becoming some kind of sordid crime statistic if I stay here much longer.

pleased to mitya (mitya), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 17:59 (nineteen years ago)

Good god this thread is depressing today.

quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 18:58 (nineteen years ago)

from wonkette:

Tomorrow is the first official day of summer. Summer spells hotness for D.C. — and we’re not just talking about the weather. Yes, that’s right: it’s intern season on Capitol Hill.

Given the fact that most Hill intern duties could be performed by trained monkeys, a high proportion of interns are selected based on factors other than intellectual ability — factors like cup size for women and musculature for men. This explains why interns as a group are of above-average hotness, and intern season is Washington’s program in urban beautification.

So here’s our next competition: a “Hill Interns Hotties” contest. It’s open to both men and women, who will compete in separate categories, but the nominees must be interns on Capitol Hill. Sorry, no permanent staffers, and no non-Hill interns.

Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 19:20 (nineteen years ago)

What is the point of a sour cherry?

It sounds like that disgruntled poster from Glasgow/ILX/I forget his name has taken to writing the Wonkette. You remember, the guy who was convinced he couldn't get a job because he lacked mammaries.

Why do Hill staffers leave their little badges on when they have left work? The first thing I do is take that thing off, if I have even remembered to put it on in the first place.

Is there a consensus on tomorrow? Is it really at the billiard place? Is Tim even going to come? :)

Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 19:31 (nineteen years ago)

Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

"bored washingtonians: white house 'hotties' not." I WANNA GO HOME TOO TUESDAY SUX.

hill staffers leave their badges on because they are operating under the delusion that people are actually impressed that they work on the hill.

Seeing you folks tomorrow night is pretty much the only fixed point of my stay but I can't work out from this gargantuan thread where you want me to be and my internets access is limited at best. I'm relying on someone to self-appoint as steering committee and be very clear about where I should put myself and when. Is that alright?

Should I post my brother's address and just have you all crash his place? He might not be there but you could look at his building and pretend you're drinking...?

Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 21:30 (nineteen years ago)

don't want to throw a wrench into proceedings, esp. as the carpetbagger, but would it make sense to meet in Dupont (say, at the fountain) and then proceed to Cleve Park if that's the plan? i'd say default to meeting at Atomic Billiards, but maybe this is a better alternative?

hope to make it there tomorrow and see/meet some of y'all

gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 21:47 (nineteen years ago)

I think a bunch of people trying to meet at the Circle could prove confusing.

How about the Raven, which is I think near where Tim is staying, in Friendship Heights? Is this place still good?

Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 22:18 (nineteen years ago)

I mean, in Mount Pleasant.

Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 22:19 (nineteen years ago)

i'll be at atomic around 5, as we're meeting some other people for sort of a going-away happy hour. but if y'all are going elsewhere for tim, maybe (if i'm not lame again) i'll see you thursday at dc9.

mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 23:41 (nineteen years ago)

they sometimes do headfirst if they can leap with the quickness

sorry about the "marquee" insult; the correct answer is "from the curve" (at the moment, anyway).

xp SLIDING INTO FIRST BASE JUST SLOWS YUO DOWN

mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 22 June 2006 14:22 (nineteen years ago)

its ONLY ONLY useful in a few situations:

1) runner can dive/slide faster than he can run
2) no one is on first, and fielder will go for a high tag to get out the runner

SQUARECOATS (plsmith), Thursday, 22 June 2006 14:24 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry I'm missing the FA's show tonight but I've gotta stay home and prepare for my guest DJ spot on Sunday:

Come out if you're one of the one or two DC ilxor's who will actually be in town this weekend.

In other news, a new promoter has taken over Bohemian Caverns but kept the 6-10pm Tuesday Belgian beer happy hour - hurrah! Next happy hour neighborhood crawl will be U St, obv.

The military dudes! Got to check Late Night Shots to see if they've already joined and made lifelong hunt-club friends.

Good drinking the other night--it was a pleasure to finally meet the legendary gabbneb, and our Peckhamian pal Tim was a delight to chat with. I found the Marxian discussion of housing cost trends both entertaining and terrifying.

Stephen X (Stephen X), Friday, 23 June 2006 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

When I told them about LNS they were all "are you on there"? And I'm all, "yeah, totally!" What I did not tell them is that I'm on there at least three times under fake names and fake e-mail addresses because I keep forgetting passwords.

Tom will perform any number of dances on demand, and quite often well after you demand he STOPS doing them. Oh the memorable nights in Heaven & Hell when Tom decided it was "breakdance" time and did sit-spins without emptying his pockets first. Good times, my friends. How we all loved being pelted with flying electronics and pens and change. If you want an interactive experience, buy one (1) beer for him and then request the kahuka!!!

I...don't actually know how to explain it? It has something to do...with mormons, clapping??? And "always looking talented and cool" (this claim is debated)? He made me learn this dance too. It seemed to me kind of like modified syncronized skanking but I was assured by Tom and Gordon that it was "totally different."

Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Friday, 23 June 2006 18:15 (nineteen years ago)

I don't actually know what the mormons have to do with it, just that they were involved somehow.

Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Friday, 23 June 2006 18:16 (nineteen years ago)

I read that as "momus, clapping."

quincie (quincie), Friday, 23 June 2006 18:17 (nineteen years ago)

weekend notes & news:

1. There has been a lot of weather
2. Thanks to TOM and ALLY for coming to BLISS - my first set wasn't very good, but later in the night all the regulars showed up and it got much better and you missed it! But it also got MUCH more crowded and sweatier.
3. Maker's Mark should not be used as a thirst quencher.
4. Aaron Grossman is starting a Sunday night house/techno party at Bohemian Caverns. Huzzah!
5. Anyone have an LNS invite for me? firstname.lastname@gmail.com
6. ILX trip to Bohemian Caverns for Belgian Beer happy hour tomorrow night? (until 10pm!)
7. ILX trip to National Portrait Gallery/American Art museum?

Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Monday, 26 June 2006 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

1. Yes. It should stop.
2. We needed more people to show up, like people who were with us and not people from Vice's don'ts section. Mainly cos of the way those people were like psuedo-dancing, they were taking up so much room doing it and in order to combat that and be able to dance yourself in a situation like that, you need to be able to create your OWN circle--imposiblity with only two people. Next time, I know to be prepared. And also to wear the stupidest outfit I own. Your set was good though, I was enjoying it!
3. No.
4. That's pretty cool.
5. Upcoming.
6. What is with you people and the Mondays/Tuesdays/Wednesdays thing?
7. YES whenever sounds good to me!

dar1a g (daria g), Monday, 26 June 2006 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

1. Better now. But not by much
2. Instead of BLISS, my Saturday evening was spent watching the MISS VIRGINIA pagent with mr. q and his sisters. It was fucking hysterical on so many levels that I can't even get into it. Maybe mr. q will describe, but honestly, it was kind of beyond words.
3. DUH! (Which is not to say I've never made this mistake myself)
4. Where BoCave?
5. Sounds like Ally has you covered. Send me a drinking buddy invite once you're on and I will add you!
6. DUH! (By which I mean, "of course!")
7. Yeah that too, esp. if it is followed by cocktail hour as per last ILX museum outing.

A Mad and Furious Master


Flavor Flav: What you out for?
Ice Cube: I’m only out for one thing.
Flavor Flav: What you out for, man?
Ice Cube: Yo, I’m out for the p***y, the money, and the mic . . .
--Ice Cube, From Amerikka’s Most Wanted

When I first became successful, I never had physical relations with fans. Even when women came to my hotel room, sometimes ten or fifteen at a time, I never made a move. The women would forget that I was there and talk excitedly amongst themselves, often about other bands, as they raided the mini-bar.
“Isn’t Green Day great??” one would ask, cracking open her tenth Heineken.
“Omigod, yeah, and the lead singer’s soooo cute!!”
I would just lie in bed until I fell asleep, alone.
Then one night, I plucked up my courage and boldly proclaimed, “OK, whoever wants to stay in the room has to . . . uhh . . . take off their clothes and…uhh…get on the bed”. The women tittered and most of them left, but four of them stayed, and to my amazement, did as I asked.
For a while, I thought I had found the way to ease my loneliness. Then one day, my friend Todd called and said, “Rivers, have you seen this website?” He was laughing. “It’s girls telling their stories about being backstage with you. You’re on the front page with devil’s-horns!” I knew then that I would have to find another way.
On the next few tours I started going to massage parlors instead. This gave me privacy, and a reliable way to satisfy my physical desires, but in time, the feeling of loneliness came back. Many nights, after leaving one of these establishments, I would wander around the seedy district of some strange, foreign city with thousands of dollars in my pocket, trying to find the way back to my hotel, afraid to ask anyone for help.
When the tours were finally over, I went home and spent a lot of time by myself. I thought that if indulging my desires only led to more suffering, then maybe resisting them would bring me peace. I remembered that once I had met a man who told me he had been completely celibate for ten years.
“You mean you don’t even . . .?” I asked.
“No,” he said. “I don’t even . . .”
I had stared out the window at the barren trees, thinking, How one could be so cruel to oneself? Now, deep in the emptiness of my own excess, I was ready to give this “cruelty” a try. I stopped returning phone calls from women looking be with me. I packed up whatever pornography I had accumulated over my life and left it to be taken out to the trash (incidentally, the box was mistaken as belonging with some others and was taken by an assistant to Salvation Army, where, surely, the male employees high-fived each other until their hands bled). Finally, one day I knelt down on the floor, placed my hands together in front of my chest, closed my eyes, and repeated three times, softly, the words, “I will not engage in sexual activity of any kind, whatsoever, for the next . . . two years.” I waited a few moments, let the words sink in, and then got up and started living out my experiment.


JERRY: But are you still master of your domain?
GEORGE: I am king of the county. You?
JERRY: Lord of the manor.
--Seinfeld, The Contest

At first I felt very strong and enjoyed the challenge of disciplining myself. When friends asked in amazement if I found it difficult to abstain under these conditions, I answered stoically, “It’s difficult, but probably not as difficult as kicking heroin”. Things got more difficult, however, as my body realized that it wasn’t going to get any release for a long, long time. I started exhibiting the classic signs of physical frustration: I tossed and turned in bed all night. I hung on for too long when girlfriends hugged me hello or good-bye (they had to pry me off). I spent extra time in the shower, soaping and scrubbing, wistfully. I even had my very first night-time accident, waking up and rolling over onto my back, tears filling my eyes.
I didn’t make it any easier on myself by occasionally cheating a little, “accidentally” stumbling onto an adult site while surfing the internet.
“What’s this??” I asked myself. “Rate-my-camel-toe.com? Disgraceful! I’d better click on some more pictures here just to make sure my eyes aren’t deceiving me.”
One time, I even made the incredibly stupid decision of going to a “pajama” party at the Playboy Mansion. I sat by the dance floor the whole night, twitching and drooling, slightly, as hundreds of nearly-naked women writhed en masse to the music. When a warm, wet, female mouth suddenly whispered in my ear, “Let me know if you see anything you like—I can make it happen,” my glasses fogged over completely.
I seemed again to be experiencing more suffering than peace. I concluded that modern society was just not conducive to celibate living for a single, successful musician. Marriage, which once had seemed as undesirably permanent as a tattoo, now seemed to be the one, clear hope for my coming out of my longing. It would allow me to have a peaceful physical relationship with one person and continue my work in society without constantly having to fight or give in to the temptations all around. I promised myself to remain celibate until either my wedding day or the end of my vow, whichever came first, and set about trying to find a wife.


“. . . There is nothing nobler
or better than this,
When two people, who think alike, keep house
As man and wife . . .”
--Homer, Odyssey

First I tried internet dating. I spent three hours filling out answers to questions like “Would you describe yourself more as: outgoing, personable, extroverted, or just plain jolly?” After submitting this application, I was immediately rejected with the explanation, “We are sorry, but there is no one in our database, anywhere in the world, that is appropriate for you. Thank you!!” I felt humiliated. In retrospect, I probably should not have described myself as someone who is all 5’s looking for someone who is all 10’s.
I then turned to online social networks, like Friendster.com. I quickly found someone that seemed like wife-material. She was beautiful, talented, and appeared to have the same values as me. I wrote many messages to her trying to get her attention but she didn’t respond. This, of course, made me even crazier for her, so I started uploading songs that I had recorded for her. Even after radio stations started downloading the songs and playing them on the air, she still wasn’t impressed. Then, a friend of mine, who also happened to know her, contacted me and said, “What are you doing, man? She is totally wrong for you!!” I was incredulous.
“Why?” I asked.
“Let me tell you,” he said, and then recited a massive litany of reasons which I had to agree, albeit reluctantly, were totally legitimate. Apparently, I hadn’t really seen the woman but rather the projection of my own desires onto her online profile. Perhaps the internet wasn’t the best place to meet someone with whom I was planning to spend the rest of my life. I needed to find someone the old-fashioned way, face to face. College, which I had never quite finished before, was probably my best bet. I made all the arrangements and busied myself writing out a list of the qualities I sought in a partner, so that I could be sure to recognize her as soon as I saw her.
Before I left for school, however, I suddenly, miraculously, met someone. On our first date, I reviewed all of the points on my checklist and concluded, “She’s perfect!!!” I very quickly started planning our future life together, including where we were going to live, how many kids we were going to have, and what instruments our kids would play. I didn’t let her come into my apartment at first, however, because I didn’t want to endanger my vow of celibacy. Then one night, as she dropped me off, she said, “Can I just come in and use your bathroom?”
Bathroom-use led to showing–of-the-apartment which then led to frantic groping on the couch, rendered comical by the fact that I wouldn’t let myself kiss her or touch her anywhere important. “How does that feel, baby?” I said, fondling her elbow. When she finally asked, “Isn’t there anything else we can do?” my brain went into overdrive and worked out the various permutations: “Let’s see,” I said. “According to the strict definition of celibacy: I am not allowed to touch you [“you” meaning . . . well, you know], you are not allowed to touch me, I am not allowed to touch myself . . .and you . . .Wait a minute!”
We scrambled up the stairs to my loft and dove onto my bed. She rolled onto her back and put her hand to herself as I climbed on top and brushed my mouth against hers and all over her face and neck. I didn’t touch her down there, but I ran my hand up and down her arm, feeling her muscles tense up and twitch as she worked herself more and more furiously. She kept going until finally she let out a big moan and relaxed. I looked down on her, whimpered, and then fell over onto my back and stared at the ceiling, fire-like sensations bursting from every cell in my body. I had heard that Buddhist monks only had a few precepts to follow originally —for example, no killing, no stealing, and no sexual relations—but that eventually, their list grew to many hundreds in order to accommodate all the ingenious ways they had devised to get around them, for example, by having sex with trees. I thought that if I were a monk, after that night in the loft, they might have had to add one more to their list.
Sadly, within a few weeks of that night, we broke up. The woman moved away and quickly got herself a new boyfriend. Although there are many reasons why our relationship didn’t work out, it certainly couldn’t have helped that I had started scouring the internet for new friends again. I had to conclude that perhaps marriage wasn’t going to satisfy my longing. Here I had someone who seemed so perfect, relative to the checklist in my mind, and then quickly started longing for something else. I was devastated that my desires, it appeared, had led me again into pain, and caused pain for someone else. All alone in my apartment, now, I decided to try a new tack to escape my longing. I made a strong determination to avoid the sight of women altogether.


"Be careful not to look at women. If you happen to see them, do not look at them. Be careful not to talk to them. If you talk to them, be sure to guard your minds and behaviors.” -- Buddha, to the monks.

After a few days of not seeing any women at all, I started feeling a greater sense of inner peace. I could see why a monk in seclusion might actually be happier than those of us who indulge in the pleasures of the flesh. I remembered that Sophocles, one of the best-looking men in ancient Athens, was asked in his old age, "How does love suit with age -- are you still the man you were?” and replied, "Peace, most gladly have I escaped the thing of which you speak; I feel as if I had escaped from a mad and furious master." I felt that I too was escaping from a mad and furious master. My night-time accidents were occurring less and less frequently and my explicit fantasies started to wane. That part of my mind and body was shriveling from lack of use.
I wondered if Muslim women veil their faces at least partly in an attempt to promote this kind of peace in both themselves and the men around them. I knew that Qawwali singers in Pakistan don’t even allow women to attend their concerts, believing that the sight of women distracts them from devoting their performance to God. Contemplating this, I wondered what my concerts would be like with no women in the audience. Would I dress the same? Would I move the same? Would I write the same words? Would I even bother to give concerts? Would I even bother to write songs? I wondered how many of my supposedly artistic or philosophical efforts, from songwriting, to performing, to trying my hardest in school, were really just base attempts to attract a mate. These questions troubled me, but I figured I would find the answers, for better or for worse, now that women were no longer a part of my life.
Then I began to ask myself a question even more troubling: what if I wasn’t physically able to go back to sexual activity if, one day, I changed my mind. My meditation teacher once said that a celibate meditator slowly loses his ability to have children. Was this okay with me? I put it to myself this way: If there were a switch I could flip that would forever turn off my sex drive, would I do it? I wasn’t sure that I would. I had always thought I would have kids someday. When I was a child, my step-dad told me that his mother had thrown out his comics, which I otherwise would have inherited. I swore that I would never let this happen to mine; I would save mine for my kids. Although I let go of almost all my possessions, including my car, my house, and my bed, I still had those comics, three thousand miles away, locked in storage. What would I do with them if I never had kids? My life yawned out before me, no wife, no kids, and seemed unbearably lonely. I decided that I had to at least keep my life open to the possibility of meeting someone and starting a family. With this vague resolution in mind, I headed back to school.


“So high, you can’t get over it
So low, you can’t get under it
So wide, you can’t get around it
You must come in at the door.”
--Negro Spiritual

During the first week, I went to check out a class on women’s literature mostly because it would help me meet the requirements for my degree. I went to the lecture with an open mind, but when I opened the door, arriving a little late, all thirty students, all women, turned and looked at me, and I realized that I might be in for trouble. “Heh,” I said, and slinked into a seat in the back. After the teacher, pacing furiously back and forth in front of the class used both the phrases “dead white men” and “the POWER of female sexuality!” within thirty seconds of my sitting down, my old defense mechanism of spacing out kicked in and I didn’t hear much else of what she said.
“Pssshh!” I thought, later, as I walked back to my room. “What I could really use some help with is my sexuality.” I kept my head down and watched my feet fall in front of me, left, right, left, right. “After all this time supposedly mastering my cravings, I’m still just as confused, frustrated, and lonely as ever. On top of that, my vow is almost up and I’ll soon have to choose what to do next.” I crossed the street and went over one bridge and under another. “Am I going to high-tail it back to the next party at the Playboy Mansion? Am I going to find the love of my life by some miracle? Am I going to renew my vow for another two years, or ten years, or life? I have no idea!!” I was walking without awareness of my surroundings. “And you know what? It doesn’t even matter which path I choose when my vow is over, I’m still going to have to face my completely incompatible cravings for promiscuity, companionship, and solitude. There is no one right choice that will magically bring me peace and ease the longing in my heart.”
I sighed, looked around, and realized that I was totally lost. I couldn’t recognize any of the buildings or landscaping around me. The people that walked by seemed totally unfamiliar, more mature and business-like, than the people I usually see on campus. I collapsed onto a bench.
Leaning back, I sensed the sun setting behind my head. “Ehh . . .” I thought. “I guess there’s a kind of comfort in uncertainty. All I can do in the end is embrace it.” I smiled. “And buck up, cowboy, there have been a few positive changes since you’ve been a celibate. You’re not quite as desperate for action as you were when you first became a star. You’re not quite as desperate to find someone to make you feel complete. You’re not even as desperate to be alone. You’re doin’ okay, buddy.”
I noticed the moon starting to shine in the sky and then I heard a female voice from my left. A woman was standing there, with slightly wavy hair, dark against her white skin. She looked at me inquisitively.
“Excuse me, are you Rivers Cuomo?” she said.
“Yes,” I said
“Hi,” she said. “My name is ****” There were a few moments of silence.
“Nice to meet you,” I said.
“Nice to meet you!” she said. “What are you doing out here?”
“I was going back to the Quad. I . . . got lost.”
She held out her hand to me and smiled. “Let me take you there. That’s where I’m

going!”

What about me? There is a yellow triangle between me and home, dammit!

quincie (quincie), Monday, 26 June 2006 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

Better drive over it slowly so it doesn't puncture your tire.

Stephen X (Stephen X), Monday, 26 June 2006 20:27 (nineteen years ago)

So instead of trying to negotiate the yellow triangle I cut through Bethesda and stopped at the hardware store to get AC filters. The place was mobbed, with every other person buying mops and wet-vacs.

Apparently this is what LM does to people.

quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

That sux, though--is there any way you can route work around her? Or plant empty Zima bottles in her wastebasket?

Stephen X (Stephen X), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 14:04 (nineteen years ago)

Oh my god the Zima thing is genius!

I tried very hard to route this pub around her, going so far as to poach someone from another group to do the layout. But incompetent DTP is the only one who has the EndNote library for the bibliography, so it had to end up in her hands just to dump in the citations. Whereupon she started moving shit around manually, which I specifically told her NOT to do because she always screws stuff up in the process, and now I'm faced with an enormous techincal document whose update should have been simple but is now a big mess. Fuck me.

quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

Ugh! That sounds like a nightmare. Hopefully someday she'll screw up something so big it'll inconvenience some high-level honchos and she'll get her comeuppance. In the meantime, maybe you'd better start hitting the Zima yourself.

Stephen X (Stephen X), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 15:00 (nineteen years ago)

I say take it how it is directly to her supervisor and have him/her fix the document. Like, every single time she fucks up. Unless you are her direct supervisor, in which case you should fire her!

Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

Are any higher-ups aware of the amazing productivity sink this person is? 'Cause even if they're not able/willing to fire her, it sounds like she needs to have all exclusive resources taken from her so she can be cut out of workflow.

But that's in an ideal universe where supervisors pay attention to the needs of their employees.

Stephen X (Stephen X), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

you should gather all the stakeholders, run it up the flagpole and see who salutes.

mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 15:30 (nineteen years ago)

yeah

Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

She's not my direct report or she'd have been out long ago. Her supervisor is sympathetic to my plight and agrees that she sucks, but head honcho (project director) just keeps telling us to document this shit, that things will change, she's working on an exit strategy, blah blah blah IT'S BEEN THREE FUCKING YEARS, LET'S EXIT ALREADY!

Huh, sound familiar?

quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 16:21 (nineteen years ago)

quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

You know what was awesome today was when a coworker went on for a while about how a certain job skill ISN'T EVEN A SKILL and it's so stupid that people get paid a lot to do it especially in government jobs. (skill in question is one of the main jobs I do, right)

Next team meeting is when I ask, "OK, WHY do I put up with your crap again?"

dar1a g (daria g), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 18:23 (nineteen years ago)

Does this person actually have the skill he/she disparages?

I'm about to go on a workplace rampage so if you want to give me the address to your office I can just swing by and take care of some things.

quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 18:25 (nineteen years ago)

From reading the parenting thread I learned that pregnant people can eat all the fatty foods they want because apparently baby branes are made of cheese. So that's a plus.

Dar1a you could mention that refraining from killing your coworkers is technically not even a skill and that you might consider not using it for a while.

Stephen X (Stephen X), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 18:28 (nineteen years ago)

SQUARECOATS (plsmith), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

you make chatting lame (teenagequiet), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 19:09 (nineteen years ago)

xpost to quincie - Yeah, coworker does know it as well, it's just markup language stuff, not so difficult - I'm not that techie and it's OK considering I was a literature student until about a year ago. And I know this, though even work that isn't that technically difficult isn't necessarily work you could hire anyone to do and they'd do it without messing it up. It was more about the insulting-me-to-my-face part, which seemed quite graceless and unnecessary. Ya know? It's like, if you're so great and know everything, what are you doing here? Why aren't you running your own consulting firm?

dar1a g (daria g), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

My big boss just stopped by my office and noted that between the transition (from little company to LM) and the weather, this spring is "bringing to the surface all the subclinical pathologies." I hope I'm not actually acting as batshit crazy as some of the people around here!

quincie (quincie), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 21:00 (nineteen years ago)

It happens every Tuesday. I was going to stay home because of the rain, but if I keep doing that I may end up never going out again.

dar1a g (daria g), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 00:33 (nineteen years ago)

I'm safe! My normal thirty minute bus ride was almost two hours. Lucky me, I always have a book on my person so hey, not my problem.

Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 01:03 (nineteen years ago)

You're a 30 bus rider, too, Darla? PARTYBUS is more like it.

Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 01:03 (nineteen years ago)

30 bus goes by my work, so I take it a lot, though there are other crosstown bus lines I have to use to get to wisconsin ave first. wish we had a metro.

yesterday there were five rowdy teenagers on the 30 bus, they were LOUD & probably had seen too much south park, and going on and on about some charlie guy (??), most people were looking pretty annoyed about it (I guess their swearing like crazy didn't help). then they were like "look at these white people, I bet they go home and watch soap operas all day" and I had such a hard time not busting out laughing the whole time.

dar1a g (daria g), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 01:28 (nineteen years ago)

hahaha - one night i rode the E bus from CT to 16th, and these 17-18 year-olds kept saying over and over again, "whos gonna sell me some drugs? whos gonna sell me some drugs?"

OK does anyone here know what the hell this means? I'm trying to decide if this is a job I want to apply for or not, and I think knowing wtf the company even does might be helpful:

WHO WE ARE: TimeBanks USA (TBUSA) is dedicated to creating communities that reward decency, caring and a passion for justice. To achieve this goal, we have developed a framework and approach, called Time Banking, that has been adopted by communities throughout the US and in more than 20 countries. With Time Banking, acts of helping become occasions where those who receive help become partners in rebuilding community and advancing social justice.

The work of TBUSA centers on nurturing and supporting a movement in support of the vision. To that end, we bring Time Banking to organizations and communities throughout the US via the internet, workshops, presentations, training and conferences. We work closely with new and existing Time Banks as they seek out and develop new ways of using Time Banking. And we promote Time Banking, its values and its aims, to philanthropic foundations, governmental and non-profit organizations and individuals who resonate with our vision.

B. All those capital letters make it seem like a self-realization cult.

I can't be the harvester of sorrow, it's a job that requires you to be at least 35 and have years of public service experience, or rich parents. Please don't dangle jobs that are impossible for me to have at this point in time in my face. ;_;

Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:10 (nineteen years ago)

I thought to be a Harvester of Sorrow all you had to do was know how to plant seeds of hate. And speak language of the mad.

you guys are pretty quick to judge me i noticed. anyway, i see some of you are interested in wine. if you are actually interested in some good stuff, let me know as i just dropped off a friend of mine to fly out to washington state before she heads to south america for the next season of crushing - she has started her winery in both areas. she's a cool girl, having survived a 35 foot fall when she was rock climbing in japan and yes, i find that amazing. anyway, she is going to crush it (yes, very funny) and i suggest you grab her first bottles this year as she has estimated that if she sells out, she will make a total of $8,000 for the year. let me know if any of you are interested, otherwise keep up with the capitool talk. i like it.

tr3nh0lm we're over on the new ILXDC thread now--come join! We're, like, indie rock capitools!

Oh and did you see what we did with the Capitool Club? LNS got off waaaaay easy.

Also: I like wine and drink lots and lots of it. Too much, some may argue.

quincie (quincie), Thursday, 29 June 2006 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

Don't listen to the naysayers.

daria-g, Monday, 3 September 2007 17:24 (eighteen years ago)

thanks to all the ILX talk I am seriously craving ethiopian, and I've had it four times in the last two weeks.

I DIED, Monday, 3 September 2007 17:33 (eighteen years ago)

oh good dupont! do you need help with any moving-related stuff? because I owe the moving-help bank big time.

Brian that is making me hungry, and I just ate my Indique leftovers.

River wolf, MW and I are recently back from a trip to Acadia NP. Halfway up some ridiculously beautiful climb, one of us (I forget which one) was like "you know who would love this? RIVER WOLF would love this."

So yeah, ILX has been temporarily gone for me, but not forgotten.

Virginia Plain, Monday, 3 September 2007 20:48 (eighteen years ago)

Oh that sounds perfect! What is Queen's lib like (obv. answer: 10000X better than DC's libraries)?

quincie, Monday, 3 September 2007 22:00 (eighteen years ago)

i am listening to go-go show on wpgc and thus far have heard go-go covers of "umbrella" and that jay-z/linkin park version of "encore".

and this awesome song i keep hearing is actually by a band called mambo sauce. excellent

daria-g, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 01:57 (eighteen years ago)

hi q!

daer virginia: why are the queens library, the brooklyn library and the other-three-boroughs library separate?

mookieproof, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 02:38 (eighteen years ago)

It all has to do with the library systems developing independently before the boroughs joined together. Not sure why NYPL got the Bronx and S.I. though.

Queens Libr@ry has a good reputation (#1 circulating library in America) though what it's actually like to work there I guess I'll have to find out for myself. QL also brought a blimp to ALA:

I have TWO signage review meetings this week. I'm number 17 on the agenda for one and number 31 on the other. How does a review board even schedule a meeting with 31 items on the agenda?

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 5 September 2007 14:44 (eighteen years ago)

Last night they got to us (#18, as it turned out) about 2 1/2 hours into the meeting.

Tomorrow's meeting starts at 9am, but we're not expected to be up until after lunch.
