Maybe I mean Tenley? It looked like it was off the FH metro but I could be totally wrong, I'm not "good" at things like maps. But, anyway, sold!

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 21:22 (nineteen years ago)

OK I'll call Greggg and ask if he recommends anyone at Tenley, although god knows he wasn't helpful with OT suggestions.

Saturday looks like good pool lounging weather!

Yeah, from all accounts I've heard which like basically comes down to like a couple snarky comments made by Anderson "My Boyfriend And I Don'T Care If He Is Gay" Cooper, Bush kind of is annoyed by the whole Roberts thing cos Roberts doesn't like do everything Dick Cheney wants.

Ally omg I almost called you this morning from the garden after checking out your plot--it is AWESOME! You totally lucked out--it needs some TLC in terms of weeding, but it already has a fence, beds, paths, and some nice perennials, including a gladiola now in bloom!

Best of all, you are right next to JUAN, who is one the best gardners aroung and a true sweetheart. He's a great resource for new gardners and is always ready to help out with seedlings, fresh produce and advice!

Srsly, I'm like 10X more excited about your plot than I am about my plot. I'll totally help you get it cleared out this weekend and we can transplant stuff from my garden into yours. That plot is going to be FANTASTIC!

― quincie (quincie), Friday, 30 June 2006 12:27 (nineteen years ago)

Hmm....it's just occurred to me that five days of rainforest-quality downpours might have an effect on the tomato plants on our fire escape. Do tomatoes like a lot of water? Or will I go home to find them drowned? I mean, they're mostly made of water, so you'd think they could take it.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Friday, 30 June 2006 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

:D That is exactly what I was hoping to hear! The more instant gratification I get the better. I was worried that I'd need to buy all that fencing that I don't even know how to put up.

Hey do you think it is too late to plant snap peas????

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Friday, 30 June 2006 13:11 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, snap peas can't take the heat. I pulled mine out a couple of weeks ago. Still time for tomatoes, peppers, green beans, soybeans, all manner of herbage. And cucumber! I have cucumber transplants and a tomato for you.

Stephen just let them dry out--they should be fine. Make sure they're not sitting in a saucer of water, though, 'cause then you'll have unhappy tomatoes and whole lot of tiger mosquitos.

The mosquitos are a real bitch at the garden, Ally, so come prepared with DEET. Actually just start at my house and we'll see what all garden shit we can outfit you with and can just fill the bathtub with DEET and bathe in it.

Dudes I'm getting a belly. So's Mark. Should we:

A) Exercise
B) Cut out the booze
C) Have his-and-her lipsuction
D) None of the above

Oh well I guess I'll just keep buying 'em at the market while they last. If cucumbers are good to go then... kudos :D

The biggest thing re: belly would probably be to cut back on booze consumption, yeah. Especially beer (and other carbonated beverages) because it causes stomach bloating. Though obv you shouldn't replace the beer with like a pint of vodka a night. But you don't have to cut it out, just cut back. You already seem pretty active in general, you can try to throw in a more regimented exercise routine but I'd imagine it's just the unfortunate side effects of fun :( FWIW I get like really disgusting and mushy if I do too much beer (like, more than once or twice a week beer) so I pretty much blame it for most weight gain on otherwise totally thin and active ppl.

FIN

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Friday, 30 June 2006 13:30 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah - I've been dry as a bone for the past month and the weight has POURED off of me. Cutting out the booze - of any kind - makes the weight fly away.

OK so everyone should notate their weekend plans thusly:

1) pull weeds in garden
2) Rodman's for case o' wine
3) soccer watching/new yorker pile sorting
4) clean
5) nap (multiple occurances)
6) cook
7) pool lounging (multiple occurances)

not that i can claim great svelteness, but i think the secret is winenotbeer and lots of walking, especially after dinner. last night i did metro center to woodley with a loop around 17th (plus some johnny monis, yum). yay, blisters.

wondering if i should stick around for a day or two of museums. sposed to go see phish/dead people in jersey tomorrow, though. superman sounds like it would not make the uptown worthwhile, even with surfergirl involved.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 30 June 2006 15:17 (nineteen years ago)

Admit gab--you really just want to stick around to see TDWP with the chixors of DC, don't you?

xpost Yes, ice cream! I haven't used my ice cream maker yet this year--time for its seasonal debut.

― quincie (quincie), Friday, 30 June 2006 16:00 (nineteen years ago)

I will neither confirm nor deny any desire to lounge with dcchixors, but I would have to swallow some serious disanticipation of TDWP even with Streep mitigation (I usually forget I know who this AH person is). The NYT review today actually reversed a bit of my ill-informed prejudice against the book, but didn't necessarily increase my desire to see the movie.

I didn't quite have the full Komi experience because it was preceded by happy hour bites at, er, Chef Geoff's (where I met a G-man hubby of one of the lawyers). I had some very nice mezzethakia and great black macaronia with tuna and pepper. The watermelon wasn't all that special, but I hadn't expected it to be. The amuse-bouche (a date with something I don't remember inside) was a winner.

Surfergirl isn't especially interesting when she's not being a surfer. I like bellies on 'athletic' girls. Ok, I like anything on 'athletic' girls. Maybe I should become 'athletic'.

Only less dead.

I'll work on that

Could someone advise me on hotels near the Enrique V. Iglesias Conference Center, 1330 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, DC? $165 per night or less. Thank you.

― youn (youn), Saturday, 1 July 2006 00:57 (nineteen years ago)

(All the singles and doubles in the room block have been reserved, and now only a suite is left for $239. No more than 1 or 2 blocks away would be ideal.)

― youn (youn), Saturday, 1 July 2006 00:59 (nineteen years ago)

*bzzt, whirr*

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:03 (nineteen years ago)

I'm afraid I don't know much about that particular spot--are you willing to Metro? That would help.

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:10 (nineteen years ago)

Okay. Maybe I'm destined not to be an insider with conferences. I always seem to end up miles and miles away from everyone else.

― youn (youn), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:12 (nineteen years ago)

Anything near the Farragut North or McPherson Square stations would Metro-able (short) or walkable (longer, but not bad) to the conference, not bad at all, really. Let me see what I can turn up.

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:19 (nineteen years ago)

the only place that might fit the bill afaik would be the Hotel Washington, which would be slightly outside the price range and about 4-5 blocks away. it's a big old tourist hotel with a rooftop bar/restaurant with a view of the monuments.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:21 (nineteen years ago)

xpost: youn, DC is not New Orleans. don't worry about staying nearby.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:21 (nineteen years ago)

you should stay here: http://www.hotelmadera.com/

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:23 (nineteen years ago)

Not really nearby. . . that's Red line, right? What's around Farragut North?

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:29 (nineteen years ago)

The thing is, the only place I've stayed in dc--other than my place--is the Tabard Inn, near Dupont. That would fit your price range, but it would be either a hike or a metro ride (with train change) to your spot.

I'm clearly not cut out to be a travel agent :(. But hey, what about FAP?

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:38 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know where people from the conference will go at night, but 13th and New York Ave is pretty dead. There are a whole bunch of hotels nearby, but even the cheaper ones - Hilton Garden Inn, Capitol Hilton, Four Points Sheraton, Hamilton Crowne Plaza - won't be in the price range.

I bet youn would like the Tabard Inn.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:40 (nineteen years ago)

The Tabard Inn has quite the dcilx following--IIRC mookie&mrs got engaged and had a rehearsal dinner there; my better half and I stayed there when we eloped and got hitched at DC Superior Court. We also honeymooned at their sister hotel in Washington state. It's quirky but affordable and in a great location.

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:47 (nineteen years ago)

http://www.tabardinn.com/home.htm

If you don't mind sharing a bath, it's the best deal around!

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:49 (nineteen years ago)

Four Points Sheraton is usually cheaper than the other hotels in the area, might be worth a shot. There's also a cluster of hotels about 4 blocks north at Thomas Circle - Wyndham, Washington Plaza, Residence Inn.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:49 (nineteen years ago)

Tabard roxor. Tabard bartenders are super great, too. It would be a quick two metro stops or 15 minute walk to the conference site.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:51 (nineteen years ago)

Brian, I expected you to be out doing fabulous dining on a Friday night. But you will be pleased to note that I am having a grapefruit-staranise-ginger-infused bourbon sour (Maker's) cocktail as we speak, and it is great! Thanks for the tip.

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:51 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks! Each city seems to have its ILX landmarks.

Wow - we eloped and got hitched at DC Superior Court!

― youn (youn), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:51 (nineteen years ago)

Oh! The room with the blue walls!

― youn (youn), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:54 (nineteen years ago)

Sounds delicious, Q! I am having San Pellegrino and researching what drink to make for upcoming summer party. First figure out the drink, then the theme, then the date.

p.s. All my dining fabulousness for the evening was provided by the Frito-Lay corporation.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:55 (nineteen years ago)

xpost. Yeah, despite the fact that DC tried to cancel our marriage "appointment" hours before because the usual marriage dude failed to show up that day.

I've actually stayed in several rooms--if you call to reserve, ask that you get one on the quiet side of the building, away from the terrace (which is a lovely spot for your breakfast, but lousy for sleeping). Also avoid anything on the first floor or above the bar.

But hey, other than that, I think it is a great place to stay! And the dc crowd should totally FAP there!

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 01:57 (nineteen years ago)

Brian if you need herbage for infusions, I can set you up! The garden is really taking off.

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:00 (nineteen years ago)

anise and citrus sound good together. i just had a honey tangerine.

― youn (youn), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:01 (nineteen years ago)

Um, that's not really a euphemism for anything that goes against my "Drug Free Workforce" training earlier today.

xpost Oh wow, I've only had a honey tangerine once or twice, and they were grebt!

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:02 (nineteen years ago)

You wouldn't happen to be growing any juniper shrubs perhaps? I want to try and turn vodka into gin.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:08 (nineteen years ago)

Alas, no--but I can try, along with the hops that my beer-brewing friend is urging me to try!

Hi Petey!

I R not drunk, but I R doing tons o' laundry.

Brian, Ally and I will plan a menu around the winner and will cook a meal around it (HELLO ALLY I R VOLUNTEERING U TO HEP ME). And there will be scrabble. For all the DCILXors and their loved ones.

So be it.

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:27 (nineteen years ago)

jesus k@t3 i am trashed

― SQUARECOATS (plsmith), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:29 (nineteen years ago)

I had some peach sangria last weekend, but liked the caipirinhas better. tea & whiskey highball certainly sounds attractive, if less garden-oriented, while cucumber collins sounds the most interesting ("interesting"?).

so I am at metro center right now and want pie, possibly depeche mode. where do i go without leaving the immediate vicinity? old ebbitt? or do i just pack it in and head up to kramerbooks?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:29 (nineteen years ago)

GOOD IDEA PETE. I'M STARTING NOW.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:30 (nineteen years ago)

old ebbitt >>> kramerbooks

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:30 (nineteen years ago)

OK I pick: tea & whiskey highball

Because I will be harvesting three shit-tons of cucumbers this summer and some sort of nu-cucumber sandwich (HELLO HUSBAND U MAKE SOME HOMEMADE MAYO OK?) would work with that, methinks.

xpost OK PETE&BRIAN ME TOO; DON'T TELL MR Q!

Pete, need I skool you in drinking a bottle of wine?

Waht kind of wine u drinkin?

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:41 (nineteen years ago)

I should look into growing bergamot.

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:43 (nineteen years ago)

Just opened a bottle of Echelon syrah, 2000.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:53 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah--I can totally grow bergamot to make an Earl Grey simple syrup infusion for tea & whiskey highball. It that wins I will order a plant.

xpost OH THAT IS GOOD! OK I'm not sure I've had the 2000 but I've had that syrah--I liked it much.

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:55 (nineteen years ago)

It's very sugary.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:56 (nineteen years ago)

KEEP DRINKIN'

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:56 (nineteen years ago)

OK wait I'm lying--I liked the ESTANCIA syrah much. Got my "e"s confused. Also, I should consider doing something radical like, uh, taking notes.

Where did you get the Echelon?

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:58 (nineteen years ago)

I have no idea. I think it was part of a batch I ordered online, it's been sitting on my shelf for about 6 months.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Saturday, 1 July 2006 02:59 (nineteen years ago)

Now I"m thinking it was another fairly common "e" wine. I swear to god I'm going to take notes from now on.

Note: Mark and I swore we would do this at least three years ago. Hasn't happened yet. Also: most bottles I drink are under ten bucks, therefore I claim it is not worth the effort. But it is.

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 03:03 (nineteen years ago)

I only write down the ones I really like, but I think it means I'll probably end up reordering the ones I don't like. Why was I buying a bottle of California syrah? I don't know.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Saturday, 1 July 2006 03:06 (nineteen years ago)

I'm buying a case tomorrow. I need to come up with a better plan than my usual, which is no plan at all.

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 03:19 (nineteen years ago)

Find an importer you like and buy a case of the different wines they import! Like Robert Kacher or Terry Theise. Check the back of the label.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Saturday, 1 July 2006 03:58 (nineteen years ago)

Jeez, I come home and everyone's faced. Time to get out the Pimm's.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Saturday, 1 July 2006 04:34 (nineteen years ago)

My vote is for cucumber Collins! Summer should be all cucumber, all the time. Plus it sounds like a bluesman.

― quincie (quincie), Saturday, 1 July 2006 04:48 (nineteen years ago)

This wine got a little better by the 4th glass, but not enough of an improvement to buy again.

Folklife Festival this weekend!

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Saturday, 1 July 2006 05:05 (nineteen years ago)

Stephen, Firefly currently has a brilliant cucumber collins on their drink menu. I was thinking of something with frozen sliced cucumbers used as the ice cubes, maybe? Or what about a cucumber/mint sangria?

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Saturday, 1 July 2006 05:07 (nineteen years ago)

I love the Firefly cucumber collins! Mmm...cucumber mint--I wonder if one could make cucumber/mint ice cubes? I could keep those in the freezer and put 'em in everything.

Gerrard is currently engaged to Alexandra "Alex" Curran from Merseyside. They have been engaged since 2004 and have been seeing each other since 2002. They plan to marry in the summer of 2007. They have two daughters: Lilly-Ella (born 23 February 2004) and Lexie (born 9 May 2006).

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 1 July 2006 17:24 (nineteen years ago)

I'm leaning more toward Carragher after a telling youtube exerpt. He seems more exciting.

I come around on flip flops. I bought a pair in Wburg to wear to C.I. and they are really comfotable!

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 1 July 2006 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

Portugal team is hot.

I watched the second half of that match @ coffeehouse near Union Station (Ebenezer's), it's pretty new. nice and comfy and spacious. but a church group owns it so they play Jesus music in there all the time.

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 1 July 2006 18:14 (nineteen years ago)

I definitely like these teams better than the last ones. France, especially.

I guess I'm probably not gonna make the NMAA tonight; I'll try to do some museums tomorrow hopefully. If I don't get work/dumb stuff done until 6-6:30ish, will I still be able to buy some clothes in Gtown?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 1 July 2006 18:50 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, sorry to interrupt, but I just wanted to say that I've made my reservations at the Tabard Inn. I didn't get the blue room, but the woman who took my reservation was very nice and took down my request for a quiet room not at street level. Thanks, ILX! (And FAPping sounds like a nice idea, but I'll be in DC from Sunday through Tuesday (Jul. 16-18), so I don't know how that will be for people who have to work or study.)

I have to tell you guys my Northern Virginia story. One of many, actually, I lived in Vienna and Arlington a looooong time ago.
The scene: Party in a Crystal City apartment, out with my brother-in-law and his friends while my sister is waiting on tables at the Steak 'n Eggs on Glebe Rd. One guy, Mohammed, ends up collapsed on the living-room rug in a pool of his own vomit.
My brother-in-law says to me "Pretend you don't notice that Mohammed has puked, because he's got a BIG CRUSH on you!"
That's all for now.

We should have sat by the canal outside the Pleasure Place, which I noticed was still open. Go G'town.

― quincie (quincie), Sunday, 2 July 2006 14:00 (nineteen years ago)

It is sort of amazing how out of that many people no one managed to get a ticket/make it to the movie in time.

Maybe we would do better with a VA showing? Cinema Arts Theatre, in the strip mall with the Japanese goods store and the school uniform shop. Next to the strip mall with the Japanese restaurant that may or may not serve okonomiyake.

Haha Tom I went into Strosniders chanting "chunk, chunk, chunk" so I wouldn't fuck up, but turns out the only hardwood lumpy stuff they had was like a six ton bag I would have needed a forklift to pick up. So I got the Kingsford. And MATCHES.

Enjoy the grilling, folks. I will be doing much of the same in two days time.

I will send pictures of the fireworks from the Rose Bowl.

BTW - an excellent marinade for chicken/peppers/onions/zucchini skewers is fresh mint, soy sauce, ginger and honey with some cinnamon thrown in. Liquify in either blender or Cuisinart, and cook over hot coals. MMMMMMMMM, tasty.

Thanks to all for a really great afternoon/evening. I just finished a Tomburger for breakfast, and it was awesome. Weather permitting I will be pool lounging again tomorrow, so do join in! I'm totally going to perfect my noodle-walking skillz.

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 3 July 2006 12:26 (nineteen years ago)

Shadowy partners revealed! Hope you got the grillin' done before the drizzlin' commenced.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Monday, 3 July 2006 12:49 (nineteen years ago)

it was pool > drizzling > cookout, which worked great

― SQUARECOATS (plsmith), Monday, 3 July 2006 13:02 (nineteen years ago)

OK if Tom had just turned around and ASKED ME where the Old Bay was, instead of POSTING ON THE INTERNETS, "WHERE IS OLD BAY, UH?" we would not have ended up with so many cans of OB at the party. I am confused and stunned by what I have discovered by reading this thread today!!

it didn't even actually really drizzle, I don't think.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Monday, 3 July 2006 13:09 (nineteen years ago)

Nah, I don't think it actually rained. And yeah, I woke up this morning and was like damn, Old Bay fairy has visited!

Ally lighting cig off the grill was awesome.

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 3 July 2006 14:00 (nineteen years ago)

Also: damn! bottles in bathtub

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 3 July 2006 14:01 (nineteen years ago)

man I just want to go back to sleep.

there is absolutely nothing for me to write about today

― ZR (teenagequiet), Monday, 3 July 2006 14:22 (nineteen years ago)

Oh shit oh shit oh shit--big boss just came in and asked if she could meet with me this afternoon. Either I'm getting promoted or am in trouble for something. HEP ME I AM SCARED. For realz.

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 3 July 2006 14:52 (nineteen years ago)

Oh god, apparently this is so NOT the day I should have chosen to flaunt the dress code and wear jeans + sleeveless shirt. Ugh, my tummy hurts now.

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 3 July 2006 14:57 (nineteen years ago)

Q, if you're gonna make it through this, you're gonna need to run home and change into beehive coffee.

Seriously though, I'm sure everything's fine. You just got a fancy new title and it's July 3rd - giving you bad news would be unpatriotic.

― ZR (teenagequiet), Monday, 3 July 2006 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

I'm sure it's fine. Maybe it's about that person in your organization who doesn't do any work.

― dar1a g (daria g), Monday, 3 July 2006 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

Also, sorry I couldn't make it to pool lounging. I was just completely wiped out yesterday afternoon & suddenly looked at the clock and realized, ohno, it's already after 3 and I have to take the bus over there and it's gonna take an hour and then another hour to get back

― dar1a g (daria g), Monday, 3 July 2006 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks for the reassurance. It will probably be something mundane. But I still hate having to wait like an hour and half for the agenda to be revealed. Note to self: avoid doing this to others.

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 3 July 2006 15:15 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, my graduate department used to do that - it was very thoughtful of them. Once on a Friday before spring break I got a vaguely ominous "I would like to meet with you in the middle of next week" e-mail which meant I had to ask my advisor to at least tell me something about why, because otherwise I'd have 4-5 days to just sit around and stress out

― dar1a g (daria g), Monday, 3 July 2006 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

OK I'm going to ask my regular boss what is up. Then I am going to eat bunny wabbit snausages.

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 3 July 2006 15:27 (nineteen years ago)

Not getting fired. But he didn't give an hints, either.

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 3 July 2006 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

maybe he's throwing you a surprise party

― ZR (teenagequiet), Monday, 3 July 2006 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

Question - we're doing a benefit show for an anti-war vets organization at a place called The Big Hunt in a few weeks. Can anyone tell me what this place is like?

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Monday, 3 July 2006 16:59 (nineteen years ago)

It's not really a place I'd figure was ever a live band place, at all. I'm guessing you're going to have to be performing in the side room with the bay window, right by the window. Because I can't figure out any other remotely feasible band set up in there that wouldn't involve you significantly impeding ppl's paths to A) the bar B) the doors C) the stairwells D) the bathrooms

yay I get to leave work early dudes :D

Altho if it's enough of a promotion, then you'll be here even more than me! ^_^

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Monday, 3 July 2006 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

I ain't going anywhere. If anything I will need to be here more to as antidote to job woes :( . The project organization is being completely shaken up, and there is going to be at least one dude, thirty years my senior, who is going to have about six birds when he finds out he'll be reporting to me. Also: spreadsheets. With numbers on them.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Monday, 3 July 2006 18:01 (nineteen years ago)

No way, man! I need my downtime to come up with 'creative, innovative solutions to complex problems.' Or something.

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 3 July 2006 18:19 (nineteen years ago)

Congratulations? (It seems like something I should congratulate but you don't seem that happy about it.)

Does anyone have any fireworks plans? I like to see pretty lights in the sky.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 July 2006 18:27 (nineteen years ago)

I'm feeling kind of wary about the whole thing. The not-this job hunt will continue.

Mary we tried to watch the fireworks from the Cathedral last year; this went well for all of thirty seconds, whereupon the rising smoke completely obscured the actual bright twinklies. I think my fireworks plan may involve watching them on TV--how sad is that?

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 3 July 2006 18:33 (nineteen years ago)

fireworks watching in this town is a hock full of shit, I'll tell you that much.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Monday, 3 July 2006 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

Really? I always thought it was so much better than in NY--where it's so crowded you have to stand up pressed against the multitudes. I have fond memories of spreading out by the Potomac and seeing the 'works reflected in the water.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 July 2006 18:43 (nineteen years ago)

(It's good in NY if you're on a roof though.)

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 July 2006 18:44 (nineteen years ago)

When was the last time you did this? I don't mean that rudely, it's mainly cos we did it last year and were practically sat on, it was so crowded. I didn't feel a major difference in the crowding at all. Plus they inspect your bags and packages for "illicit items," something that's never happened in NY--in fact if you go to the seaport they sell you illicit items freely :D

The main thing is though that you can kind of see fireworks from most anywhere, at least a little bit (in NYC and DC) so it's kind of a one-time only thing to do, in my mind.

oh and I am refusing to congratulate q because it seems more like a funeral march is required by the way this news was given. I might reconsider if it leads to happier job outlook. Though hey congrats on a raise presumably!

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Monday, 3 July 2006 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

Haha, I believe the last time I did it was in high school, though it was at various places in Virginia along the parkway, which are probably less crowded than in DC. I did the mall thing only once, and that was insane. I can't really see the fireworks from here because of the trees, but I can hear them. They set them off at Mount Vernon every other night it seems.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 July 2006 18:52 (nineteen years ago)

Haha really? I saw some fireworks randomly like 3 weeks ago. It was pretty bad weather too so it made even less sense to have fireworks going on U St.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Monday, 3 July 2006 18:56 (nineteen years ago)

I am going to spend raise on another bikini for more pool lounging! More more more!

Ally I'll water yr sunflowers for you after work. You'll be out for gardening tomorrow, yes?

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 3 July 2006 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

yeah definitely! I'll probably stop by for a bit tonight but will definitely be at it tomorrow.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Monday, 3 July 2006 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

Cool give me a ring if you want a hand or are up for a dip in the pool. Or, like, have to pee.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 July 2006 19:53 (nineteen years ago)

Greetings from sunny Wake Island (U.S.)!

I have always enjoyed Mall fireworks when sufficiently centrally-located, i.e from the Monument grounds, which feels like they're directly overhead and is an all-day commitment for a big group no longer justified in the Bush-era absence of the Sylvan Theater roots music concerts (Boo), or for the more placid experience, from the Ellipse, which is pleasanter when you're happier about the occupant of the house up the street, but is a good view without insane crowds.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 3 July 2006 20:07 (nineteen years ago)

And in my experience the only acceptable place to watch in NY is, yes, a Brooklyn rooftop.

Oh, and congrats quincie!

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 3 July 2006 20:08 (nineteen years ago)

Mary, if I were to give in to vulgarity, I might comment on your crush's inability to make shots on goal. But at least he doesn't seem as awkward as that Crouch fellow.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Monday, 3 July 2006 20:32 (nineteen years ago)

Also, great drinks spot - American Art museum Portico Cafe

Mary is that really him in the pic? He looks different. So he's married to Baby Spice. What is it with footballers and their Spice Girls?

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 3 July 2006 21:45 (nineteen years ago)

What is it with Spice Girls and their footballers, more like. You know who runs the show.

So what happens tomorrow? People are all hiking to Baltimore or something, yes? I think we are going to till and maybe even plant depending on how impossible the tilling is. We got done weeding tonight! That motherfucking feral flora didn't even know what hit it. Shit was all like, I'm a plant that grows outta control. And I was all like, suede gloves and diesel forearms are in ya area.

+ Q if you don't know what to do with that other 2lbs of ground beef I will totally ghetto grill it for some beer. I'll make my special LMIT Management kebabs.

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Monday, 3 July 2006 23:19 (nineteen years ago)

WOT?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 3 July 2006 23:29 (nineteen years ago)

also, I think I confused Lampard and Gerrard

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 3 July 2006 23:33 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah there's beef and more wabbit snausages and lettuce from the garden and shit PLUS I found a place to get the good hardwood LUMPS so let's garden/pool/grill stuff/whatever tomorrow. I'm not planning to go any damn where so ring me! That's an open invitation to whoever is around. Petey pete--you left your babeing suit here so dude that means you have to come get it and put it on and hang by pool. Hope weather will be OK. I don't care what weather is, actually--I brought sharpened pencils home from work and plan to do crosswords!

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 3 July 2006 23:53 (nineteen years ago)

Wait gab do you prefer a non-Baby SG?

Oh hell Sporty ok yeah i get it.

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 3 July 2006 23:55 (nineteen years ago)

oh sorry, yr likely right, i thot we were still talking posh

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 00:39 (nineteen years ago)

ok you guys know that's not actually Baby Spice nor does that woman bear any resemblance to Baby Spice? She looks a good 47 years older than Baby Spice. I look more like Baby Spice for god's sakes. And I don't look like Baby Spice, in case there is confusion.

Also her name is Emma Bunton.

OK???????! GOD.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 01:02 (nineteen years ago)

Posh Spice, meanwhile, looks like you should probably walk without rhythm around her.

http://jwgibbs.cchem.berkeley.edu/pete/dune.gif

Does anyone know what Geri looks like now? Does she still live with George Michael and Robbie Williams, I wonder, because that sounds like a roommate situation I'd be down for.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 01:06 (nineteen years ago)

G., Lampard isn't half bad either, but I'm feeling the Liverpudlians particularly at the moment.

Gerrard did have an unfortunate shot on goal, but fellow ilxor poster and Irishman Ronan assures me that he merely had a bad day.

Plus, the English are apparently shit at those shots.

Steven's girlfriend's name is Alex Curran. They are a very modern couple: after making two babies together they have decided to get engaged.

That poor gazelle-like Crouch also plays for Liverpool:(

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 05:05 (nineteen years ago)

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

Footballers' wives have a very interesting look. Sort of an ersatz California, All-American thing going on.

So, yesterday was great out here in the West.

Grilled with a vengeance, the ribs were quite good, if not quite tender enough...it was the first time I attempted them on the new grill, so I wasn't expecting perfection. All were pleased, except my tummy this morning.

The crazy part was when we went to go watch fireworks. We went up into the hills overlooking the Rose Bowl, and had a view of the entire NE side of the city and surrounding areas. There were fireworks all the way off in the distance, and some in the nearby towns. It was like a giant artillery simulation. Then, when the fireworks started at the Rose Bowl below us, they were cool, but I was a little confused and felt out of place. Then I realized what it was...I was looking DOWN on fireworks instead of looking up at them. Crazy.

Three weeks until the bar exam. I am through the stress tunnel and am stomping my way to passage...or at least completion.

Guys! "We" made the Washingtonian! And we're "exclusive":

Pearls Optional, Drinks Required on Exclusive Web Site

A new social-networking Web site is doing something that not many of its brethren have been able to do: It’s attracting people over 25.

Like Facebook.com and MySpace.com, LateNightShots.com allows users to build a profile, make digital friends, and post photos. The twist: This site is by invitation only and focuses, as the name implies, on drinking.

“If anyone could sign up, it would be a big turnoff,” says 25-year-old cofounder Reed Landry, who guesses that many of the 3,000 registrants wouldn’t be caught dead on MySpace, which is open to anyone.

“The most interesting thing to me is the number of people in their thirties who have signed up,” Landry says.

The exclusivity of the site and its focus on drinking—one of the first things new members are asked is to list their favorite watering holes—have evoked a little digital wrath. The blog Why I Hate DC bashed the site for its upscale exclusiveness: There is a space in one’s profile to list social affiliations and country clubs, and the most popular bar mentioned is Georgetown’s Smith Point, a favorite of the blue-blazers-and-pearls crowd. Hipster hangouts like Wonderland and Bar Pilar don’t appear here.

Any member can invite new members, which may help the site move away from its Georgetown focus.

Although Landry admits to not having much control over what direction it takes, he says one thing is certain: It won’t be open to the masses.

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.

dudes I wanna punch some people out here. I don't understand why I got entangled with this stupid situation I'm in besides my boss thinks it's a great idea to give everyone random fucking projects because he's bored or something, but this one was a particularly random nothing-to-do-with-my-dept type of thing assigned to me way back in the January way back machine and it's like gone to clusterfuck in the "too many chefs" type of way, mainly because I am POC for the other agency yet have NOTHING to do with the logistics of 99% of this project. Which makes it really great when bitches on the side that actually have anything to do with the project then decide to jump over me because an hour turn-around for an answer (to a question that isn't due until 7/28) is totally unacceptable in some fashion and they start harrassing my contact directly...who I just got off the fucking phone with. I just emailed my contact an apology because of this, there's no reason why she should be getting 27 e-mails and phone calls from 8 different people all about the same thing. There is NO reason why this is all routing through me, especially since half of the people don't seem to realize I was put on routing all this crap. Fuck this job, seriously.

Wow that whole situation really is making me incredibly mad.

― Mr. Peanut (Mr.Que), Thursday, 6 July 2006 19:43 (nineteen years ago)

ZR U ARE MY IMMUNOLOGY BRO!

OK so there are some molecules, such as those in peanut, to which some people are genetically predisposed to freak out over. For these people, exposure to peanut kicks off a massive immune response (immune response=inflammation), even though the molecule is completely harmless. It's the inflammation that makes it hard to breath and yeah you can die. Or you can have a shitload of industrial-strength antihistamine pumped into you and carry around an epi pen for the rest of your life.

― quincie (quincie), Thursday, 6 July 2006 19:46 (nineteen years ago)

A class action requires
1) Numerosity - too many class members for practicable joinder
2) Commonality - there are some questions of law or fact in common to class
3) Typicality - the representative's claims/defenses typical of those of the class
4) Adequate representation - the class rep will fairly and adequately represent the class

Products liability is typical of only kind of class action, known as the "mass tort." These are most typically pursued b/c it is a superior way to handle a large number of very factually similar claims.

Guys actual spam mails I received today:

"Your health, paunch fuck"
"SEXUALLY EXPLICIT: Latina face completely drenched with sperm" (this is funny for the caveat they threw in like there is some instance in which a subject line like that would be tagged with SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE or WORLD CUP)
"Your money, milligram whore" (I'm favoring this new style of "Your (random thing), (random word) (insult)")
"n0w is the time to make a move with WKRP!" (googleproofing theirs)

AND there was one of those Nigerian Prince of Banking type scams but it ends with THIS:

"I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking.I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Lets share the blessing.If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this email account: d_palmer600uk@yahoo.co.uk If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat, I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account. Contact me only through the numbers I will provide for you and also through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy.Please observe this instruction religiously. Please,again, note I am a family man, I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold.This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence."

There's a pale moon in the sky
The kind you make your wishes on
Like the light in your eyes
The one I built my dreams upon
It's not there any longer
Something happened somewhere
And we both know why
But me, I'm getting stronger
We must stop pretending
I can't live this life

I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't realy wanna fight no more (Too much talking babe)
Let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really wanna fight no more (This is time for letting go)

I hear a whisper in the air
It simply doesn't bother me
Can't you see that I don't care
Or are you you looking right through me
Seems to me that lately
You look at me the wrong way and I start to cry
Could it be that maybe
This crazy situation is the reason why

I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't reaaly wanna fight no more (Too much talking babe)
Let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really wanna fight no more (Tired of all these games)
But baby don't you know
That I don't wanna hurt no more (It's time, I'm walking babe)
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really wanna fight no more (This is time for letting go)

Hanging on to the past
It only stands in our way
We had to grow for our love to last
But we just grew apart
No, I don't wanna hurt no more

But baby don't you know
No I don't wanna hurt no more (Too much talking babe)
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really wanna fight no more (Tired of all these games)
I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really wanna fight no more (It's time, I'm walking babe)
So let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really wanna fight no more (This is time for letting go)

hey dudes as promised:

28. Making Pancakes Six -year-old Brandon decided one Saturday morning to fix his parents pancakes He found a big bowl and spoon, pulled a chair to the counter, opened the cupboard and pulled out the heavy flour canister, spilling it on the floor. He scooped some of the flour into the bowl with his hands, mixed in most of a cup of milk and added some sugar, leaving a floury trail on the floor which by now had a few tracks left by his kitten. Brandon was covered with flour and getting frustrated He wanted this to be something very good for Mom and Dad, but it was getting very bad. He didn't know what to do next, whether to put it all into the oven or on the stove and he didn't know how the st ove worked!. Suddenly he saw his kitten licking from the bowl of mix and reached to push her away, knocking the egg carton to the floor. Frantically he tried to clean up this monumental mess but slipped on the eggs, getting his pajamas white and sticky. And just then he saw Dad standing at the door Big crocodile tears welled up in Brandon's eyes. All he'd wanted to do was something good, but he'd made a terrible mess. He was sure a scolding was coming, maybe even a spanking. But his father just watched him. Then, walking through the mess, he picked up his crying son, hugged him and loved him, getting his own pajamas white and sticky in the process! That's how God deals with us. We try to do something good in life, but it turns into a mess. Our marriage gets all sticky or we insult a friend, or we can't stand our job, or our health goes sour. Sometimes we just stand there in tears because we can't think of anything else to do. That's when God picks us up and loves us and forgives us, even though some of our mess gets all over Him. But just because we might mess up, we can't stop trying to "make pancakes" for God or for others. Sooner or later we'll get it right, and then they'll be glad we tried... I was thinking. .. and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that need rekindling or three words needing to be said, sometimes, "I love you" can heal & bless! Remind every one of your friends that you love them. Even if you think they don't love back, you would be amazed at what those three little words, a smile, and a reminder like this can do. Just in case I haven't told you lately... I LOVE YA!!! Please pass some of this love on to others....suppose one morning you were called to God; do all your friends know you love them? Send this to everyone you love, and send it back to the person who sent it to you. And never stop "making pancakes."

Can you tell me a little about Mancake?

Jason: Mancake is band that is pure fun. I sing, Shelby plays guitar, Eric Astor plays drums, and Mike Schliebaum plays bass. We play shows every so often, usually shows that I set up. I usually wear some sort of costume and accost the audience. One time we were playing these 2 kids, Austin and Nathan, made 80 pancakes and threw them at the audience while we played. It caused $1000 damage to the place, it was crazy. The live show is fun but my lyrics are very serious. I write extremely sarcastically. Some of the topics I write about are addiction, religion, and the scene. But they need to be interpreted to get the true meaning, usually.

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 10 July 2006 00:14 (nineteen years ago)

I do love the soccer, truly.. but am really depressed over the outcome for Zidane. I went to grab a bite in Arlington this evening after the match and this dude who'd been hanging out at an Irish bar watching the game started talking to me & wouldn't take the hint and let me alone. "Why are you supporting France? Did you see what that guy did? He had a brilliant career and now all anyone's going to talk about is that! That was terrible.." and on and on. UH

Its not like this kind of stuff doesn't happen in all sports, but in this setting? With this much obvious attention being paid to him? THE GREAT ZIDANE. THE GREAT ZIDANE'S LAST GAME. WORSHIP THE GREAT ZIDANE.

I know he's a great player, and he deserves the praise. But he's gotta know that EVERY single move he makes is being scrutinized. Just a total loss of composure.

Guys, ppl be cheering at the Childe Harold when he did that, even the Italy supporters. The fact that his "total loss of composure" was:
A) highly unlikely that it affected the game's outcome
B) prompted by (most likely) a pretty awful racial slur
C) REALLY REALLY FUNNY

kind of makes it unlikely that anyone's going to give too much of a shit about this or think poorly on France, in terms of Zidane's legacy or whatever else a couple of people are handwringing about. dar1a, dude in bar who was harassing you is balls-out insane and probably had no idea who the hell Zidane was until the ESPN dudes told him ZZ was the most important man IN THE WORLD EVER etc. I mean that's ridiculous and you should've considered "doing a Zidane" on the jerk.

Tom had on his ZZ jersey so he tried to fake headbutt a Materazzi on the street. They thought it was awesome.

Too bad about the PKs though, that made me sad enough to go watch Superman Returns* :(

Hey Mr. Que, did you guys ever decide if Superman did any drugs the other night? I was wondering after Superman Returns but forgot to ask Tom.

Also guys I don't care what anyone wants to claim on the thread for that movie, KEVIN SPACEY IS NO GENE HACKMAN AND PARKER POSEY IS CERTAINLY NO TERRANCE STAMP. ;_;

#1 - PP is fom BALTIMORE.
#2 - Best in Show, Laws of Attraction, D&C, and Clockwatchers
#3 - Ally, OTM about Ryan Reynolds. I wonder if Alanis has gotten tired of the smug, sarcasto-witty-reply-laden smugness of his whole being. I think the only time he didn't play Van Wilder was in The Amityville Horror.

If I were Ryan Reynolds, however, I would get tired of living in a loft in Montreal where there is a different Asian-themed "altar" every 2 feet, regardless of how much money the big-mouthed Canuck made on Jagged Little Pill.

― Big Loud Ape Mountain (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Monday, 10 July 2006 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

Parker Posey sucked BALLS in "Best Of Show"; she and the guy playing her husband were the only two people in the movie who were bad.

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Monday, 10 July 2006 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

Mr. Perry, I heartily disagree. I point you towards the conversation re: Starbucks. Or the psychiatrist conversations.

I like Parker Posey, House of Yes, must anything else I have seen her in, and lament her faded relationship with RA (the least part is not true). Oh, I can think of one PP misstep: appearing on Project Runway with a frizzy perm.

Ally, I'm relieved to hear the dress wasn't a Lily--I feared I was losing my Lilydar for a moment.

Also, my Colombian coworker goes to the occasional DC United game and she assures me that it's not crowded, that you can sit close to the front, and that you can see everything crystal clearly. Perhaps she just has superior vision though.

Anyway, DC soccer fans, let's see "Once in a Lifetime" the movie about the NY Cosmos in the 70s, which I believe opens this Friday at the E.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Monday, 10 July 2006 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

Cathedral nursery? Or the other one? I think it's off of Wisc. on Van Ness. Can't remember the name but it is on the right going away from Wisc.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Monday, 10 July 2006 20:23 (nineteen years ago)

Cathedral Nursery is the one that has all the herbs, I think? I need to go to the one with flowers so I think I need to go to the Van Ness place? Hmmm. Not tonight, anyway.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Monday, 10 July 2006 20:26 (nineteen years ago)

This is it I think. Right at the corner of Van Ness at Wisc. You can stop off at Ruby Tuesday's while you're there.

Johnson's Flower & Garden Center, 4200 Wisconsin Ave Nw

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Monday, 10 July 2006 20:28 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, Johnson's, that sounds right. Thanks!!!

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Monday, 10 July 2006 20:30 (nineteen years ago)

Mr. Q beat me to it :(

The other really really good nursery (better even than Johnson's) is American Plant Food Company. They have one location on River Road just off the beltway, and one location confusingly also on River Road, but a couple of miles east, just before the intersection of River and Little Falls Turnpike. Warning: it is entirely possible to drop ridiculously mad cash at both Johnson's and APC.

Also congrats to Brian!

Ah, right ON. Im so glad to hear that things went well last night. So awesome.

Should you take that comment as:

A) "it's so nice to see a dc band that's [into the music, not making the scene]"?

B) "it's so nice to see a dc band that [doesn't seem like they give a shit]"?

C) "it's so nice to see a dc band that's [so much cooler than me, I've got to say something PROFOUND to this singer/guitar player who just jammed his head off for my LOW,LOW admission price]."

D) You guys would rule if only you wore stretch leather body suits.

Anyway, fuck 'em. You guys are in the later stages of album production, you gig regularly, none of you have serious drug habits, and you've all got day jobs. You sound quite professional and careerist to me, but you evidently fooled this clown.

Because I think most of it sucks. I don't have a better way of explaining it than that. I don't like Pavement's style of music and I hate the vocals, to talk about a specific band. The vocals are a big thing, if I don't click with a singer pretty quickly I'm not going to like the band at all.

I didn't say I hated the Magnetic Fields, though I'm not a huge fan. I prefer the Future Bible Heroes by a long, long shot. But the point was more 90 minute cassette of the Magnetic Fields, why not just buy me the goddamn album? WTF did that mean?

I too am with Brian on the Paula v Superchunk though I'm not really sure I'd choose either if given a wider array.

Beer is dead to me.

j/k dudes

I LOVE BEER. AND ALLY AND PETE AND BRIAN. I LOVE YA!

― quincie (quincie), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 14:10 (nineteen years ago)

ok indie bands I like are bands like Soviet, Future Bible Heroes, and Pulp that have a lot of keyboards and shit on them.

FWIW I think the Fake Accents have a lot more drone and hard shit going down than a lot of the jangly bands I'm talking about, plus I don't despise the sound of ZR's voice. I feel I should clear this up since I'm basically taking a hardline stance against post-postpunk guitar white guys.

NEVER STOP MAKING PANCAKES, GUYS.

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 14:11 (nineteen years ago)

Tracey OTM, as ususal!

OK when beer? Note that I am only comfortable walking so walking beer would be good.

― quincie (quincie), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 14:11 (nineteen years ago)

Ally, I am suprised you haven't heard Flipper! they rule. I only have an LP and no player though so I haven't listened to them in ages. that's something I regret about my indie rock days, getting some stuff on vinyl even though I had a horrible record player and now, don't have, so it just sits around because I can't bring myself to sell it

heheh, I like Mogwai, after I saw them open for PAVEMENT, also they did the soundtrack to this art film

― dar1a g (daria g), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 14:12 (nineteen years ago)

Where do you find these pictures???

― quincie (quincie), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 14:16 (nineteen years ago)

I can only take indie pop in small doses and in my dilettantish way usually have only a sometime need for indie rock (I've never gotten the Pixies, tho I liked the girl band) - I like Built to Spill ok but pretty much feed that rare jones with Husker Du, used to listen to lots of Pavement, like Sonic Youth a bunch, and love Sleater-Kinney, though especially the last 2, like the Mats, feed some non-indie tastes as well. where next for me? Flipper, I guess? Archers of Loaf?! words are important. I have never heard Superchunk, but have it on good authority that I can die without doing so.

(sorry, qs)

Paula Abdul '89 rules, ok?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 14:16 (nineteen years ago)

re: all Maganetic Fields mix tape, that's just laziness. I never do that unless I've been asked. Totally lame.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 14:17 (nineteen years ago)

I've probably heard like tons of flipper and had no idea what it even was. I avoided playing pretty much anything that was actually IN the college radio station and just brought in my own shit all the time. I wasn't very exploratory for a music director. Thankfully I was the hip hop director so my lack of interest in the majority of their shelves wasn't a big deal.

guys we're listening to Terence Trent d'Arby at my work. If that is even how you spell his name.

I must be the only person in the world who likes the way Claudia Gonson sings on Magnetic Fields records. C'mon people: W-A-S-H-I-N-G--T-O-N, baby, D.C.!

― ng-unit (ng-unit), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 14:20 (nineteen years ago)

I probably mentioned it before, but my friend and I got delisted at the radio station for following up 25-minute Miles Davis tracks with Lyle Lovett novelty items.

lol @ that! Nah....though, guys...after you dropped us off from the party on Saturday, Tom totally put his foot in his mouth with a comment (meant to be a compliment?) that involved the phrase, "Well, ever since you've gained all that weight recently..."

I still haven't 100% forgiven him.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

-- Mr. Que (pelagi...), July 12th, 2006. (later)

WTF I hate that song! Just because I occasionally sing it does not mean I like it! I mean I was singing "Sweet Child of Mine" the other day; this does not mean I love Guns & Roses!

― quincie (quincie), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

Well what with all the weight gain recently who knows if I can even muster up the energy to do the necessary actions to conceive a child. Tremendous fatteys like me need our rest!!!!

SURE SWEETIE. Hope your back is better.

Squarecoats: make with the mix cd quick, before 7/20!

Re: Tombot. He should probably know better, but I kind of wound him up in the car with our ridiculously awesome "bit" regarding superheroes, so he was still probably a little in character. I know he didn't mean it.

Cyclops sucks and is a total douche but he can shoot lazers out his eyes ergo actually HAS a superpower, unlike Gambit, who appears to have lost his way from a panel in some dumbass Japanese "graphic novel."

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 16:03 (nineteen years ago)

Also somehow Cyclops gets to bang both Jean Grey and Emma Frost so he automatically wins this round. DESPITE his other very obvious and perplexing flaws, such as being a douchebag and a moron.

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

Yes because there are no Stacy X fans in the entire world but there are a whole lot of people wandering around comic book shops dressed up like freaking Gambit.

Also Adam Sandler is unauthorized.

Hey guys wanna know something that I wasn't sure if it was adorable or infuriating? You know how on Roger Ebert's site they're just reruning his old reviews because of the hospital thing? Well to celebrate Superman, they reran a bunch of his superhero movie reviews (because obviously if you like Marvel you like DC amirite), and I was rereading his X-Men reviews and he has a pretty basic and utterly complete misunderstanding of what Wolverine's powers actually are. I mean, despite the fact that his inability to be killed due to amazing regenerative properties is explained in every single movie. It was kind of like, awww cute old man DC fan, but then it was like, fuck's sake Ebert, pay attention to the film and not Halle's boobies and you'd have caught what Wolverine's power was for crying out loud.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

― FAN DEATH (teenagequiet), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

YO MARY.

I dig the Antrim for various reasons. They are short for one thing--he sort of defies the conventional wisdom that you have to write doorstops to be an Important Modern Writer. Very admirable, seriously. The Hundred Brothers is ridiculously madcap and funny and great, like a very long Barthelme story. Haven't read Verficationist though I need to. I read the NYer excerpt and like it. (This one is for you Ally! It takes place in a PANCAKE HOUSE!) His first one I read years ago and don't remember a thing about it. I've loved the memoir stuff that I've read in the New Yorker as it's come out over the past few years.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 18:36 (nineteen years ago)

I was thinking they were perfect for Cleveland Park too! But they also seem too nice and expensive to put into a muddy garden and fill up with dirt. So I'm not sure what the purpose is, of those bags.

Gambit = Cajun who can charge objects with kinetic energy, has glowing red eyes that don't need toolish Oakley sunglasses. Dude, his name is Remy Etienne LeBeau - fucking cool.

Cyclops = Goody two-shoes laserface who landed Jean b/c she didn't have any other viable options at the time (Beast? Iceman?), and then got seduced by Emma Frost b/c of Jean. Stupic psychic bitches and their intrigues. Scott Summers = toolbox former jock, reminiscent of Emilio Estevez' character in The Breakfast Club.

Mary we must discuss further, perhaps off board sometime. Next time you're over you can borrow one if you want. I think if you like Antrim, you may like Barthleme. His stuff varies a lot though. I think you're thinking of Snow White, which was a full length (still very short) novel. His stories are where it's at. And Silent Spring, dude, that's Rachel Carlson.

q: a well-kept, small B&B is one thing, a giant hostel masquerading as a 2 or 3 star hotel is another. If it has more than 10 rooms, it is NOT COOL to have shared bathrooms for each floor. I just hate that I have to check soooooo thoroughly on this to figure out which hotels actually have the luxury of, like, bathrooms and which don't. It's already bad enough an overnight flight shoots up yr airfare by like $17 trillion! I don't wanna book it yet, I just wanna have a backup plan and it's just giving me a headache.

no, i booked it through the hotel site, but yeah, that was the normal price, and I got a deal of I think 99 pounds/nt around 14-21-days advance that was avail online for 24-72 hrs only (generally i find it helps to wait with hotels unless there's a big event in town, though you want to lock in at least one place when you're buying plane tix)? i think the Victoria and maybe the Charing Cross (which is like 3 blocks away) were a bit cheaper?

my dad also clued me in that some of these places will have wknd and non-wknd rates, but unlike many american hotels won't tell you if you just plug in a 4-day band, so it helps to try to explore reservations with diff date subsets.

Take the big Lipton Iced Tea teabags, however represent the quantity you're going to make, brew it up, and then while its still hot, dissolve about a pound of sugar in the pot, regardless of how much tea you made.

Hey guys some general announcements for the day:
1) Tomorrow, on Good Morning America, BEN ROETHISBERGER will be appearing without his face!!! Everyone watch.
2) This morning, at Ally's house, BEN ROFFLESBERGER destroyed my peach/blueberry clafouti!! Who knew cats liked...peaches??

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Thursday, 13 July 2006 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

it's peaches... and berries... in clafouti

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 13 July 2006 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

yeah it's modified. Apparently to entertain the cat.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Thursday, 13 July 2006 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

You should have made peach lasgana. I hear tell that cats love lasagna.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Thursday, 13 July 2006 15:53 (nineteen years ago)

My cats don't, or at least they don't come looking when we eat it. Mr. Kitty likes tortilla chips and potato chips, and Ben apparently likes...peaches. And he's usually a little over-interested in coffee products, but I think that's because he's trying to figure out which container is the milk.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Thursday, 13 July 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

That's so weird. I coulda sworn I read somewhere that cats love lasagna. Where was it?

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Thursday, 13 July 2006 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

Doonesbury.

BTW that task force thing going on is very pathetic. Oh noes crimes being committed not more often but in the wrong neighborhood, alert the task force! Why don't they go arrest some white boys in Adams Morgan? I find those dudes way scarier than any poor person who wants to mug me.

xpost- i've been in new york for the last few years, but as a d.c. 80s baby, i can't imagine things have gotten that bad. though, if it moves real estate down... not entirely bad.

HEY DUDE LUIS DC REAL ESTATE IS GERAT. I MEAN GREAT. YEAH! WE GOT A POOL AND STUFF. PLACES FOR THE CAT TO CHILL LIKE SILLS WINDOWSILLS. . .IT COSTS LOTS OF DOLLAR BILLS THOUGH. WE GOT GHETTO GRILLS BY WHICH WE CHILLZ AND EAT BURGERS, GRILLED.

In other news, I have to run a meeting in August w/all the other libearians throughout the country in August and I'm scared. It involves Live Meeting and teleconferencing and stuff. That sucks.

Not all the libearans. Just the ones in my company, obvs.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Thursday, 13 July 2006 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

wow. ouch. sorry for invading your space.

i was just trying to add, as one who grew up in the city during its more notorious years, that i can't imagine things are really that bad. as allyzaz noted, it appears that it is just a few crimes in the small "right" part of town.

the real estate comment was just a hope that i can one day return to d.c. and pay less than i do in new york. right now that is far from the case. i would like a pool, although i do have a grill (it's not that gangsta, tho :( )

xpost- i hope the st. ex jukebox stays safe dude.

how bout them nats?

mr. met is way cooler than screech. but i've traded years of hopeless orioles devotion for a just as hopeless devotion to the nats.

i hope things turn around after the break. i'm going to try to catch a game when i swing through town.

As for the nyc/dc housing debate, i've been living quite comfortably and safely in washington heights for under $850. not the most desirable location, but i like the brownstone apartment i found. can't really find a comprable deal in d.c. but i'll be looking again in may.

xpost- sorry i'm so defensive, just new to the board

― one six oh (one six oh), Thursday, 13 July 2006 18:19 (nineteen years ago)

Because it's true? one six oh I got your back.

Also Washington Heights is totally awesome, have you been to Christ Coffee? That was across the street from my house.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Thursday, 13 July 2006 18:23 (nineteen years ago)

It is really true that if you avoid the trendy "boho" hoods, a renter in NYC gets about the same deal as a renter in DC does now. And sometimes better, since NYC has a more pervasive mass transit network, plus less segregated by class and race than DC is. By a long shot. Washington Heights is like living on the 14th st. side of Columbia Heights, kinda.

Gabbneb: try 2X for rent prices, by your metric vs. Ally & I, and 3X-4X for people who bought around that time. Flip it.

gabbneb, it's called "President Bush," get with the program.

Christ Coffee is on 168th, near Amsterdam. There's also a place called Jesus Taco but I don't remember where that was exactly.

What no one keeps in mind when they talk about the cost of NYC versus (blank) is that they purely look at housing prices and nothing else. That being said I know several not-rich people who have recently purchased large-enough houses in Brooklyn so I don't even buy the housing argument re: DC because I couldn't buy a similar house for the same money in, like, Reston right now.

xpost Tom please keep in mind our current rent at 2x gabb's price in the exact same location is considered a massive steal by all and sundry!!!

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Thursday, 13 July 2006 18:38 (nineteen years ago)

well i was in a studio too; i think the 1bds were 12-1400ish (which seems not to have changed much?)

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 13 July 2006 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

tom wtf is going on with those links???

xpost gabbneb I repeat: we're paying 2x what you did and it is considered a drop dead steal by everyone we know. Most people are paying 3-4x what you did (for 1bds, I didn't look into studios at all).

In arlington our pretending-to-be-a-1bdrm was $1200 and the dude raised it when we left.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Thursday, 13 July 2006 18:43 (nineteen years ago)

Basically it's pretty expensive in DC to live anywhere near a metro stop, supposed "NYC prices" to live anywhere near a metro stop. You can get better deals by moving away from a metro but then you have to have a car which doesn't really balance out very well in the end (IMO). The real estate is basically coming close to being equitably priced in both cities and for what you get I think ppl in DC are being ripped off more. But I would think that, so I won't throw in my subjective and get yelled at by Pete like infamous METRO VERSUS SUBWAY day. ;_;

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Thursday, 13 July 2006 18:46 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I'm thinkin' price of rent/whatever, cost of groceries, cost of transportation, etc. That's what I'm curious about.

I didn't mean to scare anyone away w/my stupidity! or crassness.

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Thursday, 13 July 2006 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

the d.c. rental market really is terrifying. especially when you consider mass transit access important.

a buddy of mine recently moved to hobart pl. (off of georgia). when i was a middle schooler at alice deal that was like the most badass place kids would tag up in their textbooks. it was a pretty rough drug block. point is he splits a 3 bedroom for around $2000 and the block is rife with hill types. the park in the middle block demarcates the old resident from the new. it's altogether perplexing.

i just wonder what's left for your middle income resident?

― one six oh (one six oh), Thursday, 13 July 2006 18:50 (nineteen years ago)

as for transport- i love my dc metro, but nyc has the monthly unlimited card for $76. I worked in dc last summer, and was surprise how much more expensive the subway is without an unlimited pass.

groceries are a tossup. in the heights we have c-town (crappy produce, good deals on most goods), but as you inch downtown the quality iproves and the prices shoot up.

― one six oh (one six oh), Thursday, 13 July 2006 18:52 (nineteen years ago)

Unless yr livin in chateau de ZR! Admittedly chateau de ZR is technically in Maryland, but close enough says I.

― FAN DEATH (teenagequiet), Thursday, 13 July 2006 18:55 (nineteen years ago)

It kind of sucks in a way because I'd be able to justify listening to numerous "STAY IN DC" requests if it wasn't basically the same cost as NYC was/is. I mean things might change down the line but srsly DC please sell yourself to me better.

xpost oh dude, groceries are totally the same both places. Transport is a little harder to define because NYC has only one rate for any trip while DC has variable rates? But then NYC has the unlimited card which then makes the rate variable depending on how often you ride and DC has no unlimited card etc etc. That being said there are way more subway stops than metro stops so you have a far lesser chance of paying your $2 and then having to walk 1.5 miles or drive the rest of your journey so it depends on how you look at it. I don't drive so I need public transport so I have to live near a metro which is retarded expensive here, but I never had to think about whether I'd be near a subway in NY.
