Dan, have you made a decision about nanoo rhino ?

I got to nearly 1,000 words today before I had to leave for school. I'm back after what feels like 700 hours of anatomy. We have two big f---ing tests next week, one on Monday night and then a g.d. lab practical exam on Friday night. I am beginning to feel panicky now.

John, 3054 words is awesome. FB, how are you doing? I am afraid to ask A. since right now I am feeling so overwhelmed with school that if he tells me he's already ahead of me, I'll probably burst into tears. Please remind me that I am a grind and a cutthroat. (Also, someone tell gbx, too.)

FB, I am completley cracking up about the title of this thread. If I ever manage to have a party, I will certainly have a bottle of Cutty Sark on hand. (Um, FB, you're going to have to be resposible for drinking it.)

Still haven't read it! I hear it's scandalous, though.

hmmm.

In one he knows her from a young age and continuously fights urges and he's a priest, in one he raises her with the intent of creating the perfect wife.....
I THINK I find the second one less distasteful, but then again, I could be feeling my No christianity speaking again. Violations of oaths by Xtian leaders gives me hope that established religion will dwindle.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 November 2006 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

I'm just happy to have an idea of where to go. At 1839 words, I am nowhere near getting to my male romantic lead. Ha! (So instead of a "romance," what I have is a "meandering story told by semi-snotty character.")

Currently on the phone with St. Kate's because I can't get registered for winter because the registrar's office thinks I have a "hold" on my account. Whatever office is in charge of "holds" says I have no hold. Bureaucratic b.s. fun!

Er, sorry Sam. I was just getting nervous because I think the crickets are creepy. I was hoping someone here would kill them before they got too close to me. But if they're in your brane, they will be harder to squash.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 3 November 2006 16:50 (eighteen years ago)

I certainly hope so. hard to squash I mean.

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Friday, 3 November 2006 16:56 (eighteen years ago)

Of course it might depend on the part of your brane we are talking about. Still, I wouldn't depend on the surgical skill of HSTNGS thread residents (or actual Hastings residents, either), so best to leave them I suppose.

As long as it doesn't bother you...

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 3 November 2006 17:00 (eighteen years ago)

they're driving me nuts actually. maybe if I take an actifed. . .

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Friday, 3 November 2006 17:03 (eighteen years ago)

It should have some effect anyway. That stuff keeps me up for many hours. Perhaps it will perk the crickets up so that they are forced into dancing the Tarantella until they drop. Your brane should then sweep them away. (I'm sure that's what my anatomy professor would say.)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 3 November 2006 17:06 (eighteen years ago)

― John Justen will insert a ship in your cat for no additional fee (johnjusten), Friday, 3 November 2006 17:56 (eighteen years ago)

It's not that bad for me. But I am fully aware that politicians suck and are egotistical bastards. I'm not looking for a moral leader, and at this point I'm not even looking for someone who agrees with my politics. Bottom line: can we just get some competent people? Yes, I'm a proud member of the reality-based community.

And that's all I'm saying about politics, because otherwise we'll be hearing about how John voted for Jallo Biafra one time and how I almost ran away with Dick Cheney... not a pretty picture.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 3 November 2006 17:59 (eighteen years ago)

― John Justen will insert a ship in your cat for no additional fee (johnjusten), Friday, 3 November 2006 18:06 (eighteen years ago)

Of course I didn't almost run away with Dick Cheney. Yuck!

I don't mean that that is what they had in mind; I mean that that is where it seems to inevitably lead. Part of it is the electoral college. Pity poor Ross Perot with his 19% of the national vote and a big fat nothing in the electoral college.

But my obsession is national politics and I've spent way too much time with third party idealists (L0u and Andr3w, Nader fans extraordinaire) who get disillusioned every few years that nothing changes.

Um, I hope I don't sound cynical or anything. I'm just trying to keep breathing.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 3 November 2006 18:18 (eighteen years ago)

We would have to retool the voting system before we could move away from a two party system. Regardless of the fact that the framers of the constitution dispised party politics, they didn't fully anticipate the rise of party politics and the system is set up in a way that almost guaruntees a two party system. It's a major flaw in our constitution. It's a component of winner-take-all contests, and is further exacerbated by the electoral college, which made more sense when we had a more limited federal government and a weaker Presidency.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Friday, 3 November 2006 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

Also, how are your books coming? Mine gets worse with every line.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 3 November 2006 19:08 (eighteen years ago)

Oh and Ned - about A. and the "one day a tie, next day a leather jacket" thing. That was in college. So no "businessman" thing about it. Plus the leather jacket/motorcycle boots thing were misleading, because he's not much of a partier - too introverted, partly.

Seriously, my friend L0usene thought he was a cult Christian the first time she met him, in a college religion class. He showed up in a tie, toting a Bible...

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 3 November 2006 19:14 (eighteen years ago)

voting took forever! srsly like almost an hour. ugh.

also, i vote third party usually.

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Friday, 3 November 2006 19:15 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think I could do that because I need to have my candidate win sometimes. But it's always been true that I love idealists best (hell, I married one). And every once in a while, the third party candidates do get somewhere. (Gov. Ventura to thread...)

My friend MJ's husband is an independent and I know that he wants to be governor someday. I'm curious to see whether he ever does so and if so, if he joins a major party or not.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 3 November 2006 19:19 (eighteen years ago)

i voted for kinky even though I know he won't win.

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Friday, 3 November 2006 19:22 (eighteen years ago)

Oh yeah! I keep forgetting that you are in Texas. (Ah, it must be warm in Texas...) Well, you never know. It didn't look like Ventura was going to win until Election Day. (yeah, yeah, MN and Texas - pretty different states. Aaaaaand... my memory of 1998 may be slightly distorted since that was the year 4lex was born.)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 3 November 2006 19:28 (eighteen years ago)

I sneak around regional threads you know, since we don't have one. Ventura came down to advise Kinky but I think the Kinkster made some mistakes here as of late. I still thought he was the best candidate but as my win/loss history shows, what the hell do I know.

(low today around 50, high 70. highs mid next week to be 80 again)

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Friday, 3 November 2006 19:42 (eighteen years ago)

I almost always vote third party. The sort of thinking above about the inevitability of a two party system is exactly the reason we have one. Feh. I am further galvanized by the fact that both Bachman and Wetterling came across as NATTERING MORONS on the MPR debate a few days ago.

xpost: your temperature information is CRUEL AND UNUSUAL.

― John Justen will insert a ship in your cat for no additional fee (johnjusten), Friday, 3 November 2006 19:45 (eighteen years ago)

The sort of thinking above about the inevitability of a two party system is exactly the reason we have one.

Ironically, I don't disagree with that...

(HOWEVER, John, are you in the 6th district? That redistricting after the last census has permanently crippled me, I think.)

The funny part about Ventura is that I don't think he was that bad, but some people are insanely bitter about him. He was mentioned at our 15 year reunion (J4mie 4nderson talking about "Sunday morning wrestling") - and the mention of Ventura's name drew loud boos and hisses.

Sam, I am envious of your temperature. MN is freaking cold. My husband ran in 10 degree weather this morning and informed me that he had wound up with "an ice beard." FUN!

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 3 November 2006 19:57 (eighteen years ago)

your weather sounds strange and ailen to me.

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Friday, 3 November 2006 19:59 (eighteen years ago)

It sounds that way to me nearly 365 days a year. MN = all about temperature extremes. Texas weather might tempt me, but probably I'd miss Minnesota. I just can't leave... I think that's what they call "masochism."

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 3 November 2006 20:06 (eighteen years ago)

texas weather would beat you to a crying pulp come July/August.

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Friday, 3 November 2006 20:07 (eighteen years ago)

It's true that I don't like super-hot weather much better than the 30 below with 60 below wind chill type days. Minnesota can get into the 90s in the summer, with high humidity. But that's not usual (80s aren't unusual of course).

I spent a week in Florida in September one year, trudging through Disney World in 95 degree heat. It was incredibly humid. The one good thing I can say about that is that it rained in the afternoon and cooled us off for a few minutes.

I prefer being too hot to being too cold.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 3 November 2006 20:12 (eighteen years ago)

i've been to TX in the summer...it wasn't that bad...Vegas in mid-August though, holy shit that was terrible

― M@tt He1geson: Real Name, No Gimmicks (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 3 November 2006 20:13 (eighteen years ago)

like the whole "oh but it's a dry heat" thing really starts to breakdown when it's like 112 out in the afternoon.

― M@tt He1geson: Real Name, No Gimmicks (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 3 November 2006 20:13 (eighteen years ago)

I have limited experience with extreme cold but I think in general it's preferable b/c you can always bundle up. Once you're naked, there's not much else you can do heat-wise. By the end of the summer here the heat/humidity makes me want to cry. it's unavoidable.

I beleive this summer we had around 30 continous days of temps over 100. combine that with the high humidity and it just breaks you down after a few months. i hate the summer.

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Friday, 3 November 2006 20:15 (eighteen years ago)

I think when the straight temperature starts to climb above 100, it doesn't matter if the heat is "dry" or not; you should stay inside, where it's air conditioned.

...and Sam has persuaded me that I will never live in Texas. (Move up here; it's cold, but you're right - lots of ways to deal with it. I just try to stay inside...)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 3 November 2006 20:18 (eighteen years ago)

haha. . .I think a lot about moving b/c the older I get, the more I hate the heat. But this is too much "home" to me and I don't know where else I'd go. :(

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Friday, 3 November 2006 20:27 (eighteen years ago)

After a certain point, it is hard to leave what you are used to. (But Minnesota beckons you... although I don't suggest Hastings.)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 3 November 2006 20:35 (eighteen years ago)

haha I don't know about Minn. although I found Minneapolis a very friendly city when I visited.

I live for NYC briefly a few years but just couldn't take it. It wasn't even winter (which I found surprisingly mild), I'm just a Texan girl through and through.

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Friday, 3 November 2006 20:41 (eighteen years ago)

The sort of thinking above about the inevitability of a two party system is exactly the reason we have one.

I'm not arguing against a multi-party system. I'm arguing for changing how we vote, to increase the chances of third parties and independant candidates getting elected to office.

Here's a decent summary of IRV and other alternate forms of voting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting

As far as "the sort of thinking above" goes. I'm not saying you should hedge your bets or make compramises, but I am saying that this is something people do all the time, not just w/r/t voting. In fact, as rational creatures that can project into the future and anticipate the consequences of our actions, this is exactly what we do all the time, with nearly all of the choices that we make every day. Who is ever faced with the choice of an ideal solution? Be it a candidate or a restaurant or an act of survival, we make decisions that are rarely ideal.

I'm not arguing how people should vote, I'm just saying that given human behavior, given human rationality, all you have to do is apply the math and you can see why almost every winner-take-all system of voting, around the world and throughout history, has moved towards two choices, and generally stabalized around two parties.

The electoral college further exacerbates this dilema.

Other people, smarter than I, are making this argument. You can find a lot of them on third party websites.

As a side note, there will be a referendom on Minneapolis ballots next week to implement IRV for city elections. It will be an interesting experiment, and could lead to an expansion of this practice in MN. I encourage everyone who has the oportunity to vote for IRV in Minneapolis.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Friday, 3 November 2006 20:52 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think we want to get into this argument again. More funny stuuf PLZ, less political wonkery (myself included).

I should probably take a breather from ILX today, actually. I'm in an uncharacteristically bad fucking mood.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Friday, 3 November 2006 21:23 (eighteen years ago)

I've always loved poison. (Well, not the band).

John, why the bad mood? I offer you some virtual SCOTCH! (I don't have any real scotch for the moment.)

FB, arguing with John = pointless. But if you don't know that by now... (And John, I'm not saying that to pick on you, you know I actually like that about you. It's no fun to argue with someone who is just going to back down.)

Kids are home from school for a 3 day weekend. Why do they always have a day off when I have a test? PLOT.

Also just had how pathetic my ASL skills are brought home to me again by half-assed conversation with v. nice mother of kid at 4lex's school who happens to be deaf. (My side of the conversation was the lame side. "How are you?" And determination of age of her kids, plus notation that it's Friday is about as far as I can get anymore.)

Bad mood = Nanawrimo progress (or lack thereof), trying to chase down people who owe me $$$, certain admin aspects of ILX that I have spent far too much of my time bitching about on a different thread or three, spending endless time selling crap on ebay for work, economic collapse in the music industry, invasion of TWO more guitar centers in the cities, election overload. You know, the usual.

Actually, I do feel a little better now. WHOOT WHOOT!

― John Justen will insert a ship in your cat for no additional fee (johnjusten), Friday, 3 November 2006 21:35 (eighteen years ago)

John, if you had 5,000 words in the first day or so, I think you can relax for a moment or two. Money sucks, I sympathize. Election overload - soon to end! Only a few more days. As for the guitar centers, yikes, I'm sorry - Dad still seems to be holding his own with the booze stores despite MGM coming in, but it does seem like we're all going to be shopping at the United States of WalMart one day and small business owners will be gone. (I hope not, though, and I won't enumerate the reasons, because I'm sure you know them without me going into it!)

― M@tt He1geson: Real Name, No Gimmicks (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 3 November 2006 21:41 (eighteen years ago)

Matt, either way with this election I see upsides -- very perverse ones should the GOP just hold on (which is all they'll be able to do at most) but two more years of nonsense will be more than enough to honestly finish off the party as it currently stands. (A bold claim, I realize, but I think something will finally give in terms of its basic coalition.)

Either way, though, people are going to continue to die in Iraq, in unacceptable numbers. Simple as that.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 3 November 2006 21:44 (eighteen years ago)

Monster Cable is hysterically funny overpriced crap for MORANS.

My favorite monster cable bit is the part where they label one end of the cable that goes to the instrument, and one that goes to the amp. Because, as we all remember, electrons are deeply concerned with their direction of travel.

― John Justen will insert a ship in your cat for no additional fee (johnjusten), Friday, 3 November 2006 21:44 (eighteen years ago)

Turn off your tv and radio until Tuesday night and you'll feel better, M@tt. I gave up feeling freaked out after the last election.

Jesus Christ, I take a day off work and you all get political.

My dad tried to bait me with a "your boy John Kerry" comment last night, which prompted me to say, "Look Dad, I NEVER liked Kerry and it's kind of presumputuous of you to assume that he's 'my boy'." That is probably the sternest I've gotten with my father since hanging the phone up on him four times in a row in college.

John, at least you didn't have to reach back as far as Lincoln. I didn't like Clinton so much many times, but listening to GW Bush makes my head hurt. Presidents = desperately flawed, egotistical individuals. I can accept that, but I have a hard time accepting the current guy. Still waiting to wake up with an It Was All A Dream moment.

Truman/Dewey. John will be Secretary of Health, Human Services, and Reanimating Corpses with Voodoo.

FB - you're right about the campaigning... actually, Presidential politics never sleeps anymore. Next campaign should start next Wednesday. I vow to ignore it for a while. If I don't, you have my permission to strangle me.

Anyway, 6000 words now. Sample dialogue:

“Chief Frazzetti, you’ve got to know *some*thing. I’m supposed to be doing research on strange stories and you’re saying there’s nothing to be found. C’mon, the whole thing with the house is completely interesting, you know it, I know it –”
“Yes, I understand that, but I’m telling you that all we know is what we see, and what we know is that nobody is in the house, but that the gates are always open on Halloween and that trick and treaters go there, and never come back.”
“Which is a good thing.”
“Oh, it’s a GREAT thing, don’t get me wrong. But every time I’ve sent an officer over to investigate he just says that there was nothing in the house aside from some tea and cookies.”
“Well, someone has to be setting them out.”
“Yes, but they’re always marked with a sign that says, ‘DO NOT EAT – POISON. UNLESS YOU’RE A KID, IN WHICH CASE, PLEASE EAT.’”
“Why don’t you take them back as samples?”
“No point, that’s exactly the kind of trap *we* set out for the kids. We just figure it’s one that was set up in there as a joke. Tea is always steaming a bit, though, so we’re still trying to figure that one out.”

I hate that i'm posting this many times, so I'm going to wait 30 minutes, and form one megapost.

The show Andre 3000 made, Class of 3000 hs the biggest sendoff of any cartoon I've seen. Big hip-hop show for kids in huge ass stadium.
It's cute. I've never seen a kid never having met his dad presented in such pleasant manner.
It's exactly what he said it would be.
A show that's for kids but has a very ATL feel.

However...arethere asians in Atlanta? I mean, enough of them to justify 2 characters in the main cast being asian...

The music rules.
I mean, it's ANDRE 3000!

All in all, if you're down with hip-hop/funk, You might wanna clue your kids into this show, Sara.

Also, Where are you again?
Because i'm a persistant salesman, and if it IS too far for me to charge a reasonable rate, i'll cave, if it's not, I'll...postpone it until I find more people in that area.

Oh, I highly recommend going to a little Chinese Cafe in Grand and Lexington. it's called 'Bravo!'
Bubble milk tea is GODLY there. Soy milk and bubble tea things and black tea. PERFECT blend.

Nice folks. I KNOW the girl, who's a friend of Mrs K(mother of kids that are leaving for Japan on the morrow) who served me today thinks I'm hot. I mean...I have that "Well proportion thin white guy" thing asian girls seem to dig, and I can see it on her face.
Whether or not she digs me is another matter, and I doubt I'm going to like... try for anything. I'm willing to make sacrifices to get to Japan.
I doubt that nowhere in the population of Japan there is no girl I could both meet minds and genitals with.

Oh, and Sara, we should meet for tea and Autism discussion.

― The GZeus (The GZeus), Saturday, 4 November 2006 03:38 (eighteen years ago)

Let's see - I'm in Northfield, which is, what, maybe a 50-60 minute drive from St. Paul. From... are you in Newport? I'm not sure from there.

I have 8 zillion tests next week (should be studying right now! Spinal cord stuff! Brains! Appendicular muscles!). And every person on earth seems to have a birthday in November - but after Friday things "should" settle down. (At least I hope so, but the damn birthdays and then proctoring Carleton finals happens...) But definitely, we should get together and talk. And I've never tried bubble tea and I have been wanting to for YEARS, but my husband hates both tea and the very notion of bubble tea, so he's no good for that.

My Monday night class still ends at 7:10 on Mondays as well. I'm meeting friends after class this week, but haven't arranged anything past that. Possibly that could work sometime?

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Saturday, 4 November 2006 04:33 (eighteen years ago)

I have a birthday in November...

I have NO plans next week(bad because that means i have no students which means I have no income comin' IN /Wayans quote.

So, yeah.

On a total side not, I've made a Sew Season's resolution that I'll complian less. I realised that 99%+ of what my parents have ever said is a complaint.
I can't go a day without siognificant positive human interaction. I can't get that with my parents. they have no concept of anything that's not a complaint about work, people at work, relatives, relatives at work, people relatives know, people that relatives work with...
On the phone ,in person, to me, to each other...
WHINE WHINE WHINE. and they WONDER WHERE I GET IT!!!

But yeah, the lowest I could go for Northfirld would be my maximum: $25 USD per 1hr lesson. Gas costs and shit car foce my hand. hook me up with other peps from your school and I'd be able to drop it(more small trips around the same town makes the whole thing economical) to like 25-20 USD.

― The GZeus (The GZeus), Saturday, 4 November 2006 05:09 (eighteen years ago)

That should read 15-20usd on that last line.

― The GZeus (The GZeus), Saturday, 4 November 2006 05:09 (eighteen years ago)

Let's see, I clearly need to make more money to make that work. But by the time I can get a job as a nurse, you'll be in Japan. LAME!

I realized that I probably shouldn't drink bubble tea in the evening (caffeine will keep me awake) and I also need to eat an actual meal after class. So if you want to meet up on a Monday night, I will never get to try bubble tea and my life will remain incomplete. Hmmmm.

I'm off to St. Kate's. I need some time in the lab or I'm not going to do well on the practical test Friday night.

GZeus, have you ever been to Hastings? I'm not sure that the people you've met are typical.

Sam, it is true that we are chatty. I blame myself.

As for my studying talk, well, it doesn't help if you are a rigid perfectionist. I still remember the word I got wrong in the 8th grade spelling bee, the word that I forgot the sign for in sign language class my first year of college... your Mom would probably be fine.

(Also, did I study at the party? Not so much. Drank mango mojito, ate way too much - including those ham/cream cheese/dill pickle things, yum - and talked a lot. Very fun!)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Sunday, 5 November 2006 03:22 (eighteen years ago)

But, I'm THE cool person in Newport.

I mean, Hastings is big enough for there to be a variety of people.

Condense that size down, and the mathmatecal inevitability that you all are is ME here.

I spent the money I would have used for this on a soldering iron and a multimeter.

Hell, I already did you a favor there, John HA HA HA.

― The GZeus (The GZeus), Sunday, 5 November 2006 21:37 (eighteen years ago)

THIS IS ME BEING JUSTIFIABLY PISSED OFF.

I had my brand new soldering rig, cables, solder and everything hooked up and laid out, wires prepared.
I tinned my iron, set it back in it's case to finish getting the grounds together since they were common, and the connection small.
I picked the iron back up, and it was black.
I tried re-tinning it.
It got worse.

It got hard to tin.

I looked at the solder that I KNOW FOR A FACT was lableld for electricronic use.
"Flux core, silver bearing, lead-free solder."
FUCK! YOU!!!

SILVER SOLDER IS NOT FOR ELECTRONICS.

Fucking PLUMBING BULLSHIT.

Now I need to get new solder, new tip for my iron most likely, and then deal with the stress of this again because I'll be using the same stuff.

The DMM and iron cost more than I wanted to spend already.

Went to bed and got back up because I can never sleep on election night. I'm so going to be paying for this tomorrow.

However, MN does have a governor: new guy - same as the old guy. Here's Kare11's website's opening paragraph:

Tim Pawlenty, a rising star in Republican circles, survived a scare and claimed a second term as Minnesota governor in come-from-behind fashion.

TOO MUCH INFORMATION, PEOPLE

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 09:01 (eighteen years ago)

Way to go, John, now Pawlenty is our governor.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 15:15 (eighteen years ago)

I'm glad to have had the opportunity to vote for neither of those fucks for governor.

― John Justen will insert a ship in your cat for no additional fee (johnjusten), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 16:35 (eighteen years ago)

Great conversation at work today. He's a Republican and we discuss politics frequently, without getting into anything terribly contentious. It's fun.

So, he was talking about how he dislikes Pawlenty and really really hates Hatch, so he felt compelled to vote Pawlenty to make sure Hatch stayed out. I of course, dislike Hatch, but I really really hate Pawlenty, so this year I voted for Hatch to make sure Pawlenty stayed out.

In the last gubenatorial election, we both voted for Penny. This year, our preferred candidate was Hutchinson.

We had a good laugh at that.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 16:50 (eighteen years ago)

Too bad Patty Wetterling was such a shit candidate. I thought her campaign was beyond fucking embarrassing. Now we have that dead-eyed dry husk of a demon cunt in office.

It's surprising how well Wetterling did, considering that district is mostly the solidly Republican Sterns County.

Also, jeez FUCK YOU WISCONSIN. This country needs more butt sex, less executions.

Predictably, I voted for Roger Moe in 2002. The only thing I remember about him is that he sounded like a Muppet when he talked.

I met Tim Penny once, when he did an event at the bookstore I worked in (Barnes and Noble in Burnsville). Good guy.

Got an email from my super-Republican friend in Missouri. I am not up to writing back yet; it was 4 am before I fell asleep. (Thankfully A. knew this and took the kids to school to let me sleep. I love him! But next time I've got to remember to get him to take the day after election day off...)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 16:59 (eighteen years ago)

Sam, you are freaking me out about cavities. Go find a dentist that will knock you out if the drilling bothers you (seriously, I'm sure you can find that!). But - ow!!!!

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 17:04 (eighteen years ago)

i just can't be bothered finding and going to a dentist b/c I have so many other doctor appts. I don't drive so have to take the morning off (like today) anytime I have to go to one. it's a pain! (also there's the chastising I know will come from new dentist that I phear)

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 17:05 (eighteen years ago)

Yay IRV! Minneapolis, gotta love that city.

Sam, you have to find a nice dentist (ask around for recommendations) and explain in advance that it's been a while - trust me, you wouldn't be the only person in that situation. I'm probably sick, but I love going to doctor appointments because I get to go somewhere alone (no kids!). My doc is pretty popular, plus there's the additional possiblity that he might be delivering a baby at any moment, so often I get to wait in the waiting room. And read a bunch. The only thing better would be if he'd get some comfy cots for naps. (Ummmm... yeah, I've been at home too long with small children.)

But having to take the morning off, that does suck. Still - it's your TEETH. They don't get better on their own.

Went to Ry4n's campaign rally last night. Nice speach. He was the third of three other candidates to speak. Looks like he's going to be serving with a softmore house member, and the fellow who vacated Ry4n's seat got elected to State Senate.

With the current majority, it looks like he will be able to get stuff done, which means I'll get that zipline across the Mississippi I've been lobying for.

Yeah, St. John's would just be a flash in the pan. I thought that perhaps you were dealing primarily with anxiety and depression. I'm looking for a way do deal with the random lows and anxiety. If I don't have to, I don't want to drug up.

Know a number of bipolar folks. It seems like it's different for everybody. What do you think of some of these new mood-stabilizers that are supposed to work with everything from anxiety to psychotic episodes. Makes me nervous.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Thursday, 9 November 2006 15:05 (eighteen years ago)

It wouldn't even be so hilarious except that he (and so many other Republicans) have these bizarre secrets that are directly in opposition to their stated principles.

Bennett's hypocrisy isn't what bothers me. Every segment of our society is filled with contradictions and failings. I don't mind judgment so much as I mind poor judgment and I am concerned about the advocacy of the judge.

It's when the hypocrisy lays bare the failings of the system advocated, that it is of benefit to observe. That's why Rush Limbaugh's illegal drug use is so delicious. What he advocated, universally harsh treatment and judgment of drug offender, without mercy, is exactly what he lacked the character to see imposed upon himself. But beyond revealing the weakness of character of a windbag law-and-order moralizer, we get to listen him advocate mercy and understanding, and, even better, try and worm his way out of responsibility.

This gets to the heart of it. That there is no judgment without understanding and no justice without mercy. These authoritarian hacks are so twisted and morally incomplete. At the bottom they are about power. The power to judge absolutely, the power to punish and hurt, and the power to lead the mob.

Self-Loathing Morons.

I think this is indicative of a certain type of authoritarian personality - the spooky, dangerous types.

What do you think of some of these new mood-stabilizers that are supposed to work with everything from anxiety to psychotic episodes. Makes me nervous.

like which ones? Lamictal is a newer one but is also often used just for depression which is the dosage my doc is ramping me up to. I've been on tons of MSs but good ol' lithium's done the best job of them all for me.

yeah, everyone's different b/c some people can't tolerate lithium. The past year or so as seen me the most stable ever drug cocktail-wise but I still have this nasty depression I can't kick. hard to tell sometimes if it's chemical or life-induced when bad things keep happening. oh well.

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Thursday, 9 November 2006 15:24 (eighteen years ago)

I wish I could remember the name of the drug right now. It was prescribed to someone very close to me that had very low lows and very high highs that culminated in halucinatory episodes and extreme paranoia.

Months later, another person very close to me was prescribed the same mood-stabilizer for anxiety. When I did a little research online, it seemed like it was being offered up as a panacea, like it could do anything for anybody with mood disorders. I believe it was originally developed as an anti-psychotic, but was discovered to have worked well for depression, etc. It was pretty new to the market at the time. This was a couple of years ago.

I take a nap and FB writes an essay. Wow!

I'm looking for a way do deal with the random lows and anxiety. If I don't have to, I don't want to drug up.

I totally relate to that, FB. The lows generally mean for me that I need to change something - that is part of the explanation for nursing school. Something had to change. The last time my random lows took me from insomnia to sleeping-all-the-time was at St. Mary's. And that was a very low low. (Oh, to wake up again to my bitchy roommate speculating to my bitchy neighbor that I was sleeping all the time because I was pregnant...)

Anxiety I deal with by having The Most Soothing Husband On Earth. Seriously, he talks down my most mentally ill friend (of numerous!) sometimes. I had panic attacks when I was pregnant with 4lex. A. talked me through those.

I really, really don't want to go the pharmaceutical route if I can help it. Side effects suck. And as Sam has pointed out on - I think - the TITTWIS thread, figuring out what works best for you is tricky.

On the political figures topic - FB, you're OTM on everything.

Could be. I'm terrible with names, but the weight gain sounds right. Unfortunately, this person has stayed off of medication due to bad experience (and stubbornness), and has been having a real difficult time funtioning.

I have some notes from about two years ago. Spent a lot of time spinning my wheels, frustrated with the seeming randomness of the pharmacology.

Seems like it's a bit of a trial and error kind of situation, and that finding a team of medical professionals that fit can be a real challange.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Thursday, 9 November 2006 17:34 (eighteen years ago)

Seems like it's a bit of a trial and error kind of situation

This is possibly the most massive understatement I've seen since I can't remember when.

You know the other thing about taking pharmaceuticals is that I have never been able to let go of the notion that my personality is going to change and that isn't okay with me. I am fucking stubborn, I have to be the way I am, no one is going to change my mind about something (god, even if I secretly agree with them). All part and parcel of being the one family member that never fit in and choosing to embrace it rather than try to fit in. Doesn't matter how much it hurts, I don't change unless I control the change.

And that is my serious thought for the day.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Thursday, 9 November 2006 17:49 (eighteen years ago)

Could it be Neurontin?

That's what I take.
It's given for everything from nerve pain to severe bi-polar.

I take it(and alot of it, apparantly...) keep me from having panic attacks from not finding my keys or hearing car horns.
it was originally developed as a sezure medication.

― The GZeus (The GZeus), Thursday, 9 November 2006 17:54 (eighteen years ago)

You know the other thing about taking pharmaceuticals is that I have never been able to let go of the notion that my personality is going to change and that isn't okay with me.

very trial and error. this unfortunately causes people to give up before finding something that works for them. a good *team* of pros is U&K including a good therapist and a med-doc who actually listens to rather than throwing whatever samples he has that week at you.

I've been on dozens and dozens of meds and have never felt like my personality has been changed. just my ability to control my behavior and the freedom from my moods controlling me.

The one caveat that I will add w/r/t pharmacology is that some people really need medication for the benefit of lucidity and to cut down on the noise and pain enough to interface with life, and I always feel like I should be a little cautious when expressing my anti-(non-recreational)drug sentiments.

Also, I have heard a great argument along the lines of, "What if your personality is being surpressed by your organic mood dysfuntion? Then, by not medicating yourself, you are allowing your personality to be altered by a medical condition and you call it virtue."

Food for thought.

Also, I must defer to Sam's experience. My entire personal experience with shrink pills was when I was on Prozac for a little over a month. Not long enough for it to be effective, but long enough to get some minor side-effects that spooked me out.

Lithium made me feel like my life was third person, and I had no idea what emotions I was feeling until at least 3 days later, and at most 2 weeks later.

Prozac causes suicide...

― The GZeus (The GZeus), Thursday, 9 November 2006 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

haha, all ADs carry an increased risk of suicide in the beginning of treatment. Prozac has bore me no ill effects but I'm taking a tiny amount. Zoloft and Paxil did numbers on me though.

It's always strange to hear people describe that Lithium effect. I truly have felt no oddness with it. I guess that just means it's the right one for my chemicals.

It's all worth it for the nitrous oxide, right? (Actually, no, I don't think so - two slugs of novocaine plus for me, plz).

FB, absolutely, some people need pharmaceuticals for mental health purposes. I know and adore many of them.

As for the question of personality alteration - that edges into the same area, I think, where the questions aren't actually answerable. (Similarly, is my son just a bit quirky or is the diagnosis of mild PDD-NOS something to be seriously worried about? Because you can meet him dozens of times and not know there's anything even a bit odd.)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Thursday, 9 November 2006 19:30 (eighteen years ago)

It's discussions like this that remind me that I should probably be very greatful for whatever combination of brain chemistry I received, because I've never really had to consider being medicated. Interestingly enough, most of my friends either are on meds or have struggled through things that made them consider or try them.

Of course, I can think of more than a few people that would probably prefer that I take meds BECAUSE they might alter my personality...

Sara: If I meet your son, I'll know in 20 minutes if there's a hint of aspergers in him. To a degree, it takes on to know one.
Also, if you and yours might want to (re)learn a bit of the Nihongo I might be willing to work pro-bono(I hate U2) ifyou promise to ask people if they know people. I'd really only be able to make myself trek that far twice a month, though.

― The GZeus (The GZeus), Thursday, 9 November 2006 22:58 (eighteen years ago)

I think Asperger's is too specific for 4lex, but hey, I'm no expert.

At some point I do want to re-learn Nihongo, the trouble is time! But if I were going to do it, I could drive to come there (because it is kind of far, I admit it). I will see if I can find out if anyone around here is interested in their kids learning, however. Most of the kids here seem to be involved in Tae Kwon Do or gymnastics.

Have fun for me if you go out tonight, people. Big-time studying here.

The characteristics that 4lex presents are more scattered - PDD-NOS seems like the catch-all diagnosis, from what I can figure.

Not sure what 'scattered' means in this contect, and to be honest, I have no idea what that acronym means(which means teachers won't either, so it will do him no good until he's 18).

HOWEVER: http://qwerqwer1234.hp.infoseek.co.jp/mudah/mudah.swf

― The GZeus (The GZeus), Friday, 10 November 2006 01:50 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry; it means "Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified." It's a newer diagnosis; the teachers in the elementary schools here are pretty aware of what is going on. He's doing so well that he might not need an IEP next year... which begs the question: does he then still qualify for special ed and can he use the NeuroBiological room when he needs to... It's great that he's doing so well, but...

As for "scattered," what I mean is that the diagnosis is relevant for a broad range; I can't remember exactly, but if a person has, for example, two characteristics from three categories and one from another, s/he qualifies for that diagnosis. Which also means that 20 people could have the same diagnosis and present totally different characteristics.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 10 November 2006 02:04 (eighteen years ago)

Also, gbx, you should come home for longer than those dates. That's just crazy.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 10 November 2006 02:05 (eighteen years ago)

That diagnosis is...troubling.
It presents a number of problems, mostly sociological.
Mainly it seems to part of a trend towards diagnosing anything as something.
It places (in my opinion) not enough limits on what it takes to get a diagnosis.
I wish people would allow things to be more vague. Like, allow psychologists to say "this child qualifies for X,Y,and Z programs" rather than give a diagnosis and let the (broken) system decide what do next.
the diagnosis may itself be vague, but that leads back to putting the burden on the system.

Aspergers syndrome and even full autism can exibit themselves in many ways, and have to be handles on a case-by-case basis, making them not that useful in practice. They really only act as labels.

Everyone has quirks, and some people more than others. if society would make room for more of these may be people wouldn't need so many meds...

― The GZeus (The GZeus), Friday, 10 November 2006 02:26 (eighteen years ago)

Mainly it seems to part of a trend towards diagnosing anything as something.

Heart of the problem, right there.

He definitely has some issues and needs some help with things, but on the other hand... The good part is that meds are not involved in any way, because that's a line I wouldn't want to be walking.

And it's good to know that there is something going on, because before we had any idea of what the matter was, it was clear that 4lex wasn't like other kids in that he didn't take verbal direction well. There's nothing like watching other people's kids respond to a simple request or question and then having your kids... not. Why wasn't he listening? He doesn't take verbal direction well, but write it down or show him choices and - bingo. He's a visual learner. But figuring that out was kind of hellish.

This is something posted by the administrator of a forum about console mods and such:

"Some rules of conduct for this category, as well as the general forum. This is my forum and I intend to rule it with an iron hand. Follow these rules, and I won't have to get angry.

1. Do your own damned research before asking stupid questions. Google works, use it.

2. Carefully consider your question before asking it. If you're asking about mods you're really not interested in building, or because you want to save money, maybe you shouldn't bother. $15 HK-produced controller adaptors are cheaper and more effective than anything you'll learn to build here, and the XRGB is $200 for a reason. Shut up and buy it, nearly anything you can build yourself is going to cost more than an off-the-shelf solution.

3. Spell-check your message before posting it. Prince-speak like "U" and "UR" and similar are not tolerated and you run the risk of having your message deleted no matter how interesting it is. The only people who will be given lenience for their spelling and grammar are people who don't speak English natively.

Remember that asking dumbass poorly written and unclear questions only lowers the quality of the whole board, and asking what google could tell you wastes the time of people who might have answers to your tough questions.

And if you keep on wasting time, you're going to find no one left to ask when you advance up the tech ladder and have a question NOT found on google.

4. "yeah", "Me too", "thanks" and other worthless posts will be deleted randomly and without warning.

5. No images in your sigs, please.

6. Respect other people, dammit. No inflammatory responses, no relatiatory posts, and no name calling. If someone else is wrong, correct them and explain why they're wrong.

You're in my sandbox, and if you want to play here I expect you to follow the rules. There's a million other forums out there if you want to go trolling or cause trouble."

The same guy was asking why the video from one of his arcade games was all fucked up. And was still unwilling to admit he screwed up royally in his job of connecting it to his home-made kit(or making the kit) when he found voltage in his ground lines.
Something like "Well, I don't think THAT would be the problem."
WHY? Because ONLY YOU could have caused it?

he bitched me out for suggesting in a thread to block unregistered posts when someone just before me had been a spammer.

I CAN'T STOP listening to The Wolfe Tones.

This FORECES me to read about what they're singing about. They take narrow segments of the truth, but it's...all true from what I can tell.
I mean, it doesn't take lies to make the Irish pissed at the English.

I never liked England, and I'll eventually go just to see the Grand Lodge of England, because it's apparantly one of the greatest acheivements in classic engineering and architecture. I'll also buy up alot of Sega Master System games. Common and cheap as dirt in the UK. I like how that sounds like I'm talking about the English there...to me....I think I am.... Whether or not I think I'm correct is something I'll decide when I'm brain-sober.
THen...I'll go back to Ireland where my plane landed and relax a bit, learn some more Irish and...that's it.
I have virtually no desire to go elsewhere in Europe.

Don't give me locales and activities.
What do I do for fun?
I talk to people, play video games, sit on the internet, listen to music, watch TV, watch shows in other languages, drink and learn things.
I can listen to music anywhere, and don't go to shows alone.
Internet? Beh.
Video games have been covered.
English TV???
English isn't a language. It's shite, I mean, LOOK AT THIS^ *rimshot*
DRINK?????
I'll be walking around with a portable TV watching Irish TV. TG4 is mostly in Irish, pulling out the earpiece to talk with locals and order my stout.

Sam, thanks for luck - I think it went okay. However, I think this week as a whole has gone one for about 3 years. (But at least they were 3 happy years, because I'm still smiling at random moments about the election).

Reason 4080 I love the Midway Area of St. Paul:

Last night, the singer of Poison Control Center was playing a solo acoustic set because the other members of his band hasn't made the show. Because his acoustic pickup wasn't working, he decided to just get down on the floor and play and sing w/no mic. Suddenly, this super angry woman rushes towards him like she's going to punch him. One of the regulars/bouncer dudes grabs and stops her and starts giving her the bum's rush towards the front door. As she's being pushed away from the Poison Control dude, she holds up an accusatory fingers towards him and yells the top of her lungs: "BRITISH!!"

I have the death cold to beat all death colds. If I don't get better by tomorrow, I'd say it's about a 90% chance that I'll bail on Nanowrimo, because this last weekend/tonight/tomorrow was/are my only shot, time-wise, of getting the thing done.

So fucking irritated right now.

― John Justen says Toonces was one of the most talented cats on televison (johnjus, Monday, 13 November 2006 16:23 (eighteen years ago)

My father is a nutjob. J. adores him.

John, ugh, so sorry about the cold. Have you tried any of those zinc and Vitamin C products (hell if I can think of what kind of lozenges I have upstairs, but they do seem to help a bit)? It's not even halfway through the month; don't give up yet!

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 13 November 2006 16:33 (eighteen years ago)

I megadosed on vitamin C, and didn't leave bed yesterday. No caffeine or booze since Friday, shit-tons of chicken noodle soup. Unfortunately, I'm at work dying, because I had too much shit to do today. Uggghhhh.

― John Justen says Toonces was one of the most talented cats on televison (johnjus, Monday, 13 November 2006 16:38 (eighteen years ago)

John, keep drinking water, don't smoke for the duration, and try not to die at work if you can avoid it. Go right home tonight and right to bed. And for god's sake, try to eat something, more chicken soup is a good idea.

(uh, there ends my bullying mother imitation)

Sam, will you come do my holiday knitting? I have not looked at a project in months. (This is why no one should expect a handmade anything from me for the next few years; I keep studying instead.)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 13 November 2006 16:45 (eighteen years ago)

haha, maybe I'll try to get ahead for next year and then I could offer a service to finish others - knitter for hire.

Still to go:

four sets of pajamas (sewing, not knitting)
one and half hats
two scarves
one purse (actually finished this weekend but unravelled b/c the cable was just too fucked.)

and a cardigan to assemble.

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Monday, 13 November 2006 16:49 (eighteen years ago)

Holy cats. I am impressed. I love to knit scarves, but there are only so many people who will wear them. I usually do a simple knit in the round so that I wind up with a double thick scarf; I just crochet the ends together (it is a little tricky if this is for a guy because the crocheted edging can look a little girly). I have several unfinished scarves, a sweater, a half-started pair of socks, a baby afghan I completely screwed up and need time to fix, as well as materials for two sweaters here. It's ridiculous.

I don't dare to try to sew even pajamas; my sewing is incredibly bad.

I have gotten to 8,000 words with my novel. A. is far ahead of me. And everyone else's writing is better, too.

You don't know the half of it... (I'm willing to teach you to crochet, FB, but the only parenting skills I'm willing to advise about is stuff like diapering. The basic stuff you almost cannot screw up.)

Sorry to hear subgenius is sick as well. I have miraculously not gotten sick since school started. I expect that as soon as I finish final test, I will fall ill. Just in time for serious holiday stuff!

FB, don't let your roommate breathe near you. Wash hands often. And stock up on chicken soup, just in case.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 13 November 2006 19:35 (eighteen years ago)

Too little, too late. You have to kill the brain or they won't die. Headshots people. Avoid windows and make sure you have extra gas when travelling. A shotgun is nice, but don't overlook the baseball/cricket bat--you don't have to reload, and you can't run out of ammunition.

1. Congratulations.
2. Change that to qualified congratulatios (also, GET UNDERLINGS--they can live under the stairs).
3. Get's you close, but try catching him saying something like, "We need to change those numbers before I submit our MPR. Make them up if you have to!"
4. Sounds like a diagnosis for our president.
"Is it Alzheimers?"

perhaps I didn't wait long enough for the music video. all I saw was standard-fare kids cartoon with andre 3000's voice.

I have no idea what you people are talking about. Off to google...

HA! I should have done the same. I was thinking of Idlewild.

Back from google. Sorry, looks awful.

I have overdosed on animation because of the kids, so my immediate reaction to anything animated is, aaaaaaargh, kid's show! I realize this is unfair.

Another topic entirely - A. asked me if he coule make an "on the go" playlist when he borrowed my iPod. I said sure. I looked at it last night before class and was like, WTF?! Among other stuff, it had:
9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
Bourbon & Division - Firewater
Toxic - Britney Spears (how did that even get on there, oh WAIT, A. put it on there.)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 16:47 (eighteen years ago)

First 2 songs = awesome (esp 9 to 5).

Never heard Toxic, but I found the lyrics:

With the taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under (Ohh Ohh)
With a taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 16:51 (eighteen years ago)

strangely I was just thinking of Toxic this morning. only britney song I like. Never heard of the second tune.

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 16:52 (eighteen years ago)

9 to 5: I bought it in a fit of super-early-80s nostalgia. (Also, the movie still cracks me up).

Bourbon and Division - heard it on John's profile page last summer, conned A. into buying it

Toxic - I'm not a Britney fan and gave A. a hard time the first time I found one of her songs on my iPod.

It's the combination, though, that puzzled me. I came home and asked him when, exactly, he had developed multiple personalities. (Typically, he laughed at me.)

Well, I like kids shows.
I'm always surprised when other people don't.

Also, don't let your kids watch bad cartoons! They need to develope GOOD TASTE! Remember, we grew up in the days of morning, afternoon, and Saturday Morning cartoon blocks full of heavy competition. The cream rose to the top until Paul Reubens was caught and ABC started running christian recriuting propoganda. I swear. It may have been payed for like an infomercial(unsure), but it ran on one of hte big 3.

In any case, that's when peeople decided that cartoons need a point, must teach a lesson, instead of letting writers do it themselves. Cartoons for hte most part of pointless dancing colors that kinds can quote (I'm ready!!!) or patronising crap.
Thundercats, Silverhawks, GI Joe, Count Duckula, Danger Mouse...these are the things my kids will be watching.

Class of 3000 is just a kids show. However, it' clever, the music is great(hell, just buy the album when it comes out) and the attitude towards everything and 'lessons' are different from other cartoons.
Lesson of episode one: celebrities shouldn't forget where they came from.
Episode two: teachers have too much paperwork and kids should work together as individuals. And peanut oil is flammable.

Of all the trends that escape me, nostalgia for the early-mid '80s Saturday Morning cartoon is pretty much at the top of the list, at least as far as the toy-ad series (Transformers, G.I. Joe, He-Man, et al) are concerned.

As for animation, if you are enjoying it still - any of it - you haven't o.d.'ed on it with your small kids. I am sometimes tempted to look at the Schoolhouse Rock DVD I have... but not often.

cutty - what can I say, my cat's name is Cutty Sark. Still, the thread name you'll need to blame on Fluffy Bear. (All that being said, you're welcome to visit the HSTNGS THREAD anytime... I promise we are mostly friendly, and rarely bite strangers.)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 19:48 (eighteen years ago)

I love cartoons, but adult ones. I thought about just trying to download the 3000 music. (I'm sure it doesn't help either that I tuned into the teacher/paperwork one and anything classroom related makes my skin crawl.)

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 19:53 (eighteen years ago)

Danger Mouse OTM. But I'd go further back to greats like Hong Kong Phooey. Pink Panther, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, Yogi Bear; etc.

Pinky and the Brain top the charts for more recent cartoons.

Sam, are you or have you ever been a teacher? Do tell!

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 19:57 (eighteen years ago)

FB, just stop what you are doing now and sign up for the Cartoon network. (I think that is the one wtih most of that on it...)

Also, I second FB's question about your teachering (or non-teachering) past.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 19:58 (eighteen years ago)

bleargh! yes I taught middle-school English for three years. Check old TITWIS threads if you really want stories. it wasn't pretty.

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 20:04 (eighteen years ago)

dan is having a jon-attack.

sara, quite literally. the stress landed me in the hospital twice and a kid once shot out the windows of my car while it was parked in front of the school.

Yeah, that was a total Jon-move. Sorry. Kinda.

I was aware of that. Hoping to spawn a series of unbelievably obnoxious posts.

Cutty. Cutty? Yes, Cutty. OMG, not Cutty! etc.

"cutty cutty cutty" sounds like bad DJ scratch onomotopeia.

Hey.

Sam, you have made me very glad to never have followed through on my "hmmm, maybe I'll be a high school English teacher" notion. (Actually, I was happy about skipping that already). However, my son is going to middle school in a few years and now I'm not sure whether to be more worried about him or his teachers.

Hi to Cutty and also to Nate (how are you both, etc. etc.).

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 20:42 (eighteen years ago)

I prefer not to give an honest answer to the "how are you" question at this time.

― nate p. (natepatrin), Tuesday, 14 November 2006 20:50 (eighteen years ago)

Well, I hope things improve for you, because that doesn't sound good.

I just lost an hour of my life to trying to get my two kids to go in one direction so I could get them home. Did you know that kids are cute because if they weren't, you'd strangle them? Cuteness is a survival mechanism.

John, you should somehow get some of these: http://www.emeraldguitars.com/guitars.html

haha those emerald guitars!

those are the type of things that, when i see a band setting up, i look at their gear and say "god this is going to suck"...you can just tell sometimes.

What's wrong with Emerald Guitars? I'd never use the built-in pickup or preamp. Micing an acoustic's not that hard, and really there's no need for an acoustic to be LOUD AS HELL. Fuck, undersaddles don't fight feedback any more than a mic.

GZeus, just so you are aware, and to prevent needless anger, I think you've been locked out on ILG - MOMENTARILY. As a pal, I would suggest making your return with a calm, unruffled demeanor.

I think M@tt's problem with the Emerald guitar is that they do look a bit...goofy?

― gbx (skowly), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 02:08 (eighteen years ago)

You might find ILG scary, I find it annoying.

They expect everyone to be snarky and sarcastic.
Sick of them.

They can keep their forum.
"Stop arguing with people just because their opinions differ!"
Maybe they should understand that having the right to express differing opinions includes expressing unpopular ones.
"Stop seying you don't like the PS2/3!" Stop saying you like them.
"Don't bite people's heads off when they bitch at you for expressing opinions they don't like!"

So...They can all go spend too much money on boring games that aren't games.
I don't care any more.

to whomever Android Cat is...a post that follows yours isn't neccesarally referring to you.

I didn't say anything to them the entire GH thread, and the last complaints against me were by them.

That's not as bad as the people who were bitching at me for...agreeing with them, but it IS a bit odd.

― The GZeus (The GZeus), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 02:36 (eighteen years ago)

Dude, shut the fuck up about it already. I was trying to help you out and head off the train wreck that got you locked out of I Love Games but apparently you're so completely certain that nothing you say could possibly cause offense or be misintepreted that no one can help you. Try pulling your head out of your ass and take a look at your own behavior from someone else's perspective for a change, you slef-absorbed waste of space.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 02:44 (eighteen years ago)

If it was in reference to whether I'd drink with you on whatever random dates you mentioned, the answer is always YES.

Of course, that's the general answer for "will John drink?", so don't feel too special.

I never said anything to you, A.C., and you're caling me self absorbed.
You took offense at things I never said.

MISinterpereted is the key.

And in the meantime, slice your wrists and bleed aways the last drop of your life.

Yes, that's what you said to me. Just different words.
A waste of space is something that should be totally disposed of.
You just called me worthless garbage that should be destroyed.

Perhaps if you spent a little more time thinking about what you say ACTUALLY means as opposed to how little kids on internets will INTERPERET it you'd have known that.

if you DID know that, then bay all means take my comparative allegory literally.

Jan 12-14

Thus, when the filling for his pie is ready, “it’s time to phone Flossie and tell her to start warming her engines”. Later, “having fortified your pastry- maker with a couple of stiff gins, let her loose with some flour, lard, a bowl and a rolling pin.” But there is a word of caution: “Don’t kiss her till she has carried out her duties; you will find the situation gets completely out of hand and you end up hours later with no gin and no lid on your pie.”

"No lid on your pie" needs to become a common phrase.

Didn't even know that was perry.

Mainly because I would have though Perry more understanding of what a strongly stated opinion looks like.

He's good at doing it, and hearing them stated without losing sight of the difference between an opinion and a fact.

Odd that internets of all things could sever that tie to objectivity...

Still not quite in the mood for ILX.

I've discovered that in recent months the internet is not that interesting to me.

The places I used to go that are still around didn't mature with the people in my 'real' life.

ILX is a decent place, but each board seems to have its own pre-set mood/personality. Well, that's every message board, but I guess the overall higher quality made my expectations be higher.

Best board I still go to is centered around 8-bit sega things, and mainly on programming for them. The mood for every section: esoterist, (formerly) poor and nerdy.
I fit in. I just can't program. YET!

In any case, I lack the ability to be non-verbose and comfortable in communicating my thoughts.
What I'm saying is the internet is clique-ey and scenesterish.
This place is the least of those things I've seen.
I just don't feel comfortable in that thing at all. I love the triple rock, but I can't go there too often, same with any bar/club.

I'll be in from time to time, but I'll be in places with walking talking humans more.

Strib article about Michele Bachmann

http://www.startribune.com/587/story/817468.html

"That's what she needs to do, but we know where she'll come down on these other issues," said the Rev. Louis Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition, which is gearing up for a fight with Democrats over what he calls anti-Christian hate-crime legislation protecting gays and lesbians.

What planet do these people live on?

Just because it says "I checked snopes.com," doesn't mean they actually DID.

I realize I can't change their minds, but for god's sake, can they at least check stuff out before passing it on? (rhetorical question, no need to answer that)

OK so the neighbors downstairs are having a loud and shitty party with loud and shitty music and my knocking on their door (loudly) has done nothing to rouse them. I am attempting to counter their choice of Blueshammer bullshit with my collection of weird late '70s disco-funk and slow-jam quiet storm stuff (np: The Dramatics' 1978 LP Do What You Wanna Do; the title track is an amazing Hall & Oates-penned number and some other cuts feature the almighty Bernie Worrell on keyboards, but I digress). Calling the cops is a bad/shitty idea; since this is an artists' co-op everyone else watches out for each other and the last time someone called the cops on someone instead of talking to the party people to turn it down everyone decided it was a horribly shitty thing for this person to do. So I'm not sure what my options are here. It's only 11:30 and I'm not gonna go to bed anytime soon but I was hoping to watch a movie or something and this is pissing me off.

it was a postcard/flyer that got peed on and the ink transferred to the cream-colored leather. fantastic. alcohol, acetone, etc have not worked. I might actually try the alchol again, just rub longer. going to have to go the laundromat to wash G.'s case.

and a recent trip to the bedroom revealed QTip's peeing somewhere else in the room with his box, rather than in the box. arrrgghh! what's his deal? oh yeah, he's really sick that's his deal. still male cat pee is the worse and not my idea of a relaxing vacation.

Does your cat have a bladder infection or is it just that he's otherwise so ill? I'm so sorry - ugh. That would make it hard to enjoy your vacation.

There's no doubt in my mind that Dan is a good cook (I've seen video evidence, after all); maybe you are right about the honey/vanilla thing, Sam.

I envy your cleaning frenzy. I should do the same.

That rat is huge and scary! I wish I could remember that blog name...

I am going to bake cookies today. Am I going to do chocolate chip, snickerdoodles, mocha snowballs (all great, but pretty standard at our house) OR am I going to try something new?

My wish came true!

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 15:49 (eighteen years ago)

I almost never start from scratch; I usually pick some random cheapo spaghetti sauce (a la Prego or Ragu, esp. anything with garlic in it) and add:

1.5 - 2 lbs ground beef browned in 2 teaspons of olive oil along with 1/2 chopped onion, 2 cloves of chopped/pressed garlic, a good dusting of oregano/"italian seasoning", 1 tbsp of lemon juice and 2 teaspoons (approx) of vanilla. Sometimes I'll add a good amount of red pepper if I'm going for heat.

Simmer this while you boil the spaghetti. Serve with parmesan.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 15:49 (eighteen years ago)

you rock Sara!

all of those cookies sound good (mocha snowballs??)

― Sam rides the beat like a bicycle (Molly Jones), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 15:52 (eighteen years ago)

Thanks Dan! I expect to see your show on the Food Network shortly.

Mocha snowballs are these super-rich (lots of butter) mocha cookies with chocolate chips in them; you dust them with powdered sugar to make the "snow" part.

Also, glad I could help with the blog name (really, it finally just came to me).

Also, FB, after looking at the turkey dinner thread, I have to ask: what possessed you to try Tofurkey? (I never did that once and I was a vegetarian for years, plus C0ry and 4ndr3w are.)

God, I'm starving right now. I should never have read that thread. Yay no traveling for my family, turkey dinner that my Mom makes (seriously, this is one she is good at), and then a vegetarian Thanksgiving on Saturday with C0ry, who makes tons of other good stuff.

Uh-oh, I'm going to be one of those fat people, aren't it.

I was a vegeterian for over a year. One of my favorite meals was the vegeterian mashed potatoes and gravy at the Tripple Rock. IT IS SO AWESOME. So, anyway, veggie roommates had tofurkey fravy. I tried some very similar to Tripple Rock Gravy & better than most gravy dishes.
