The San Francisco Bay Area says goodbye to AdamRL

goodbye, San Francisco Bay Area!

Where is adamrl going?

To hell.

Or LA.

Whichever is closer.

I'm going where the helicopters have cameras.

(xp)

going where the weather suits his clothes.

haha, if only that were true.

mirrored stunna shades, designer denim, DIOR bandana draped around his neck...

...A-SHOES....

Man U shirt (on game day only, I hope)

http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/film/FN16507

still in town for this?

Yes. In fact I want to go to that.

Shall we plan something for Admrl? What is a good night?

I am pretty damn busy almost every night! =(

Sort of scary that this is really happening now. I was boxing stuff up until midnight last night.

how about a (Friday?) lunch?

Could do! Next Friday maybe?

Actually, next Friday would be good for me. Everyone at work is away at a conference.

RSVP list:
1) admrl
2) Steve Shasta

haha!

Well, Kyle doesn't check ILX much and I don't think Alex reads ILE. But also I'm unpopular.

I eat my lunch at the freaks and geeks table of ILX (which, if you think about it, is REALLY saying something)

Okay adam, looks like just you and me over a Specialties Ham on Rye.

Just like old times!

ye olde tymez.

we really should just go to Medieval Tymes... such classic British culture.

or "London Wine Bar"

I read ILE. I'll be there. This is Friday, July 27th?

Where for lunch and what time?

You read ILE! Yes.

xp

I don't know! Medieval Tymes

Michael White!

I thot you were gone too

it should be centrally located. FiDi?

I can do most places.

so i've heard.

yeah

mwhite and alex and kyle, are you guys FiDi-ish?

I can hop the underground to get down there.

I will try to make whatever you guys agree to

we should have british food like enormous turkey legs and goblets of mead in adam's honour!

HonoUR! If you really want to honour my tradition(s), we could go to a Jewish deli. But there aren't many of them.

there's one waaaaaay out in the Richmond that I know of. And a totally overpriced one off of Union Square.

I'm FiDi and pretty much limited to noon to 1PM.

The best Jewish deli I've been to in the City recently is the one on Polk.

There is a glatt kosher restaurant just inside the chinatown gate called Sabra.

w-wait wait, there are jews in britain?

SHUT UP

;)

"The best Jewish deli I've been to in the City recently is the one on Polk."

Yeah East Coast West (aka Miller's Delicatesson) is the best SF deli. There is also Moishe's Pipic or Moishe Pipics (or Pippics) or whatever a couple of blocks from my work. It's good, but not world class or anything.

http://www.british-jewry-book.co.uk/cover.jpg

Adamrl are you in this???

w-wait wait, there are jews in britain?

I thought they were all wandering around the West Coast of the US.

I'm not wandering! I better be in that book.

yes I can do financial district, yes I can do that day, yes I can show up. even though I don't really like any of you.

i'm sorry did you say something?

Boo!

who are you people?

I am the Ghost of Christmas Past

Hey I'm Steve Shasta

hi broom!

Adam,

On behalf of the citizens of the People's Republic of the Bay Area, I have one final request: Will you lead us in a rousing rendition of "Tiny Kangaroo Down Sport"?!

Steve

do you mean Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport?

and no. But Alex should learn that song, he needs it where he's going.

alex is going to australia?

POLL: do girls in their 20s like midgets? what does the city of san francisco say?

Alex IS going to Australia!

My wife's in her 20s and is married to me so yes they do like midgets.

And New Zealand!

Tiny Kangaroo, really, Steve?

I like New Zealand. I've never been there. I would like to go.

I've been there its great. I was totally surprised by the quality of available food too

Yeah, New Zealand looks pretty major.

I want to go to The Shire.

they paint Frodo on airplanes in NZ

The Shire's on the north island

Alex doesn't like Lord Of The Rings.

(the movies)

(I think)

I want to go to NZ :-/

I want to go to The Shire.

you've been near BuckinghamSHIRE (Uxbridge)!

Aotearoa

swim with the dolphins!

Alex hates dolphins.

Also, I saw him punch a kitten.

aww this is sad. bye adam!

I like dolphins. I hate Lord of the Rings (the movies). I've punch a few kittens.

NZ landscape is stunning regardless of what movies its been in

Yeah I'm not concerned that my dislike of the films will prejudice my enjoyment of this vacation.

Alex, have a great vacation in New Zealand. I hear Mordor can be nasty this time of the year tho.

i dont know you adamRL but bon voyage!

keep yer bronco clean, you never know when it will be on tv

Tell me more about these West Coast British Jews.

http://www.splitting-images.com/carolineasSharon%20(1).jpg

Are you making a list, Ned?

Checking it twice.

Adam is so great that when he failed to FAP last time he was in London i wept bitterly.

do you have an NZ itinerary Alex? There's definitely a few things I would recommend...

Kind of. We're flying into Auckland and planning on spending a six or seven days or so on the North Island and then we'll be on the South Island for the next week or so and then onto Melbourne and then Sydney for about a week each and then flying back out of Auckland.

ah - well, if you can, I highly highly recommend taking a trip out to swim with the dolphins

Adam is so great that when he failed to FAP last time he was in London i wept bitterly.

Sorry! I had every intention of doing so, I simply ran out of time! Forgot just how impossible it is to keep to a schedule when you are in London, especially on a too-short visit.

also, he confided to me that he doesn't like any of you people either

don't make me post the chicken and the broom again

i miss the broom

they are baseball objects

Dammit Alex that is essentially my perfect model of my next Aus/NZ trip -- and as I've had to keep postponing that, I can only say grr.

I am going to try to bring my Brian Lara Pro Cricket PS2 game to get it autographed.

DID U HEAR BOUT THE NEW GAME BY KATAMARO GUY?

w-wait wait, there are jews in britain?

What about Scotland?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Sadowitz

Hi Rosemary, I'll say hello to Judy Chicago 4 u!

:)

Hello [on a cellphone], greetings, it's me, an outlaw,
I ask you, my love, to accept happiness.
Hello, hello, it's me, Picasso,
I sent you a beep [cellphone signal], and I'm brave [or strong],
But you should know that I'm not asking for anything from you.

You want to leave but you don't want don't want to take me, don't want don't want to take me, don't want don't want don't want to take me.
Your face and the love from the linden trees,
And I remember your eyes.

I call you [over the phone], to tell you what I feel right now,
Hello, my love, it's me, your happiness.
Hello, hello, it's me again, Picasso,
I sent you a beep [cellphone signal] and I'm brave [or strong],
But you should know that I'm not asking for anything from you.

Wikipedia should have a list of West Coast British Jews like their Canadian Jews list that Saul Bellow and Slocki are on.

so, adam, where are you actually going?

lots of jews in glasgow, btw.

I'm moving to Los Angeles to attend graduate school!

Leee!

lunch on friday.

yes

where? is this happening? get your shit together

yes where

(cue neverending argument about where is best place to eat lunch in SF)

I feel ill

akm, where is adamrl's favorite lunchspot?

i have no idea

not someplace with doughnuts

He doesn't even know! I don't have one, also.

I honestly can't think of anything! Anywhere that does a decent sandwich.

xp no dougnuts

what is people's budgets - are we goin cheap or upper-crust here

cheap! =)

okay no Seller's Market then

also how many people are we talkin, do we need somewhere with big tables, etc.

oh I could do Seller's Market. I had something good there, i think.

I've only been there once but it was tasty - nothin under $10 but hey, I'm feelin rich

I am about to get my last "grownup" paycheck for a couple years, lol.

What is the Seller's Market?

fancy sandwich place on um California (I think?) that has all organic ingredients

adam is not paying so price shouldn't be an issue for him.

how about Tu Lan? Is that too far?

of course I will

tu lan is fine for me

i challenge you to a gunfight over the bill.

I'll play you at brian lara. There'll be sticky wickets, golden ducks and googlies to spare.

bit of a ways for me but I think I can make it... is that that Vietnamese shithole that was Julia Childs' favorite..?

haha

I'll miss San Francisco. I wonder what they argue about in other places instead of food.

Sports and politics or something, probably.

gay marriage

The gay marriage thing has been settled. Adam Sandler made a documentary about it.

Tu Lan's doable for me.

I've never actually been to Tu Lan but it might be too far (and too meaty?) for kyle?

"is that that Vietnamese shithole that was Julia Childs' favorite..?"

:-D

they have a vegetarian menu.

ok then

I may bring my wife

FREDRIK:
She lightens my sadness, she livens my days,
She bursts with a kind of madness my well-ordered ways.
My happiest mistake, the ache of my life:
You must meet my wife.

She bubbles with pleasure, she glows with surprise,
Disrupts my accustomed leisure and ruffles my ties.
I don't know even now quite how it began.
You must meet my wife, my Anne.

One thousand whims to which I give in,
Since her smallest tear turns me ashen.
I never dreamed that I could live in
So completely demented, contented a fashion.

So sunlike, so winning, so unlike a wife.
I do think that I'm beginning to show signs of life.
Don't ask me how at my age one still can grow--
If you met my wife, you'd know.

DESIREE:
Dear Fredrik, I'm just longing to meet her. Sometime.

FREDRIK:
She sparkles...

DESIREE:
How pleasant.

FREDRIK:
She twinkles...

DESIREE:
How nice.

FREDRIK:
Her youth is a sort of present--

DESIREE:
Whatever the price.

FREDRIK:
The incandescent--what?--the--

DESIREE [offering a cigarette]:
Light?

FREDRIK:
--of my life. You must meet my wife.

DESIREE:
Yes, I must. I really must. Now--

FREDRIK:
She flutters.

DESIREE:
How charming.

FREDRIK:
She twitters.

DESIREE:
My word!

FREDRIK:
She floats.

DESIREE:
Isn't that alarming? What is she, a bird?

FREDRIK:
She makes me feel I'm--what?--

DESIREE:
A very old man.

FREDRIK:
Yes--no!

DESIREE:
No?

FREDRIK:
But--

DESIREE:
I must meet your Gertrude.

FREDRIK:
My Anne.

DESIREE:
Sorry--Anne.

FREDRIK:
She loves my voice, my walk, my mustache,
The cigar, in fact, that I'm smoking.
She'll watch me puff until it's just ash,
Then she'll save the cigar butt.

DESIREE:
Bizarre, but
You're joking.

FREDRIK:
She dotes on--

DESIREE:
Your dimple.

FREDRIK:
My snoring.

DESIREE:
How dear.

FREDRIK:
The point is, she's really simple.

DESIREE:
Yes, that much seems clear.

FREDRIK:
She gives me funny names--

DESIREE:
Like?

FREDRIK:
"Old Dry-as-Dust."

DESIREE:
Wouldn't she just?

FREDRIK:
You must meet my wife.

DESIREE:
Yes, I must, yes, I must.

FREDRIK:
A sea of whims that I submerge in,
Yet so loveable in repentance.
Unfortunately still a virgin,
But you can't force a flower--

DESIREE:
Don't finish that sentence!
She's monstrous!

FREDRIK:
She's frightened.

DESIREE:
Unfeeling!

FREDRIK:
Unversed.
She'd strike you as unenlightened--

DESIREE:
No, I'd strike her first.

FREDRIK:
Her reticence, her apprehension--

DESIREE:
Her crust!

FREDRIK:
No!

DESIREE:
Yes!

FREDRIK:
No!

DESIREE:
Fredrik!

FREDRIK:
You must meet my wife.

DESIREE:
Let me get my hat and my knife!

FREDRIK:
What was that?

DESIREE:
I must meet your wife.

FREDRIK: DESIREE
Yes, you must. Yes, I must.

where is this? do not reschedule on my account, as I said goodbye to AdamRL last night and will again before he leaves, and I don't need to remind you all that I find most of you detestable.

you offered me a hand job last sunday?

kyle's cat vomited at me last night

i didn't say it would be any good (xpost)

ooh a pity HJ, romance is in the air.

ROLL CALL

woot

yup

yes, I am at the internet

jax0n? akm? mwhite? mrs. shakey mo collier? leeee?

Gizella aka Mrs. Mo says she is in

Noon?

Could we do a little bit later? (sorry) I'm still at home meeting w/landlord and I probably won't get to work until about 11!

pick a time then

Sadly, I won't be able to make it. Please be sure to tweak adam's nipple(s) for me.

12
;30?

12:30

tx michael

That should give me enough time to make an appearance at work and convince everyone that I was there in the morning!

haha okeedoke

Monsieur Levine, what time are you leaving 'work'?

sounds good!

so its gonna be Shasta, adamrl, me, Mrs. me, Alex... anyone else?

maybe jaxon. he's "working from home" today. hopefully he'll be awake by 12:30.

no jax0n.

jax0n no jax0n

jax0non0xaj

I'm leaving work around 5ish but I won't be around. Sooooo much shit to do. I am already a giant ball of tension (even more than usual).

Who knows about California landlord law? Am I right in assuming that after a tenant moves out, a landlord is required to apply a fresh coat of paint to the walls?

Not automatically.

OK. So, we painted two of the rooms. The landlord has given us one can of primer and said if we need anymore we should buy it. And now it appears she is out of contact. Does it seem weird for us just to apply primer and then leave? But if there was a certain color (even white) that she wanted, wouldn't she have been more specific?

I will put this to the landlord thread.

I would think they're gonna take it outta your deposit unless you paint it back to the original colors. That's what my landlord did with our neighbors.

personally I would never paint a place I didn't own, too much hassle

Hmmm...thanks, that is helpful.

xp

Yes but I don't particularly like white walls.

btw,

today is jaxon's birthday

sez facebook

i am UNABLE to make it and am sad. fuck. sorry dudes.

:-(

do you think they're still there?

No!

It's okay! Your non-appearance meant that I got a doggie bag! =)

But that Brian Lara game won't be worth anything now.

:-(

Adam, where are you going to watch live football in the southland?

In my house! Also there are English pubs a plenty. There's some famous one in Pasadena?

My new building! --->
