We are very different people.

I guess we can never be sisters.

Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 17:23 (sixteen years ago) link

Don't people have drunk sisters?

Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 17:23 (sixteen years ago) link

I was going to make a sorority joke but I don't know the names of any actual sororities.

I love those ladies. Look at them! They're so serious.

What the fuck is sad about sneaking booze into a movie? Do you think that the Brew and View at the Vic is sad too?

Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 17:29 (sixteen years ago) link

I once snuck a bottle of bubbly and to-go sushi into a movie.

Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link

SO HUNGRY YOU GUYS!

Jordan, I eat really fast, too. I think it means we are evolutionarily superior.

I love movie snacks in part because my mom would never let my sisters and me get them growing up. lately I have a real partiality to getting a hot dog at movie theaters. is that gross?

I have never actually snuck booze into a theater, but it seems like a good idea.

horseshoe, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:03 (sixteen years ago) link

but I am sympathetic to Amanda's point. every time I've been to the Brew and View the second movie is inaudible because of drunken yahoos.

horseshoe, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:05 (sixteen years ago) link

drunks with a sense of shame and civics are fine with me, though.

horseshoe, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:05 (sixteen years ago) link

I would expect as much at the Brew and View, because that's what it is. But to hear cans opening and falling on the floor at a regular movie theater irritates me. At least have the decorum to bring a quiet flask!

La Lechera, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:08 (sixteen years ago) link

What the fuck is sad about sneaking booze into a movie?

alright alright, christ, i take it back. I was thinking more of what eric was talking about, like having a half pint of something strong in your jacket to keep you from feeling sick. That's all I meant by "sad."

kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:25 (sixteen years ago) link

I guess when I think of "booze" I'm not thinking of beer or wine or anything but the hard stuff.

kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:26 (sixteen years ago) link

Uh I have never heard of anyone sneaking alcohol anywhere for that reason, Kenan. Maybe I've been hanging out with the wrong/right crowd?

Laurel, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:29 (sixteen years ago) link

Jesse: You inspired me, and I bought a watch today. It is this:

http://www.swissarmy.com//images/ProductCatalog/sa/sa_24656_sol_a03.jpg

The band is actually leather wrapped in cloth, for maximum durability. I figure, I'm not buying another watch for a long, long while. It's not like shoes or something.

kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:30 (sixteen years ago) link

There is a dude at work with a nerd watch. It's in binary or something. What kind of asshole wears a watch that no one else can read?

Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:37 (sixteen years ago) link

Wait, why in the WORLD would you wear a watch for other people to read?? It's like the most basic thing about a watch that it's turned to face you when you hold your arm up. If it was for other people, it would be upside-down. Or something! If you want to know the time from someone, YOU ASK THEM.

Laurel, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:41 (sixteen years ago) link

I guess I was thinking of when you ask someone for the time, and they hold out their watch for you to see. Which I guess is kind of rude anyway? I don't know, I haven't worn a watch since high school.

Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:42 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, me neither -- that's what cell phones are for.

Laurel, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:43 (sixteen years ago) link

ok, anyway...

thanks to jesse for the "buy a watch" idea and jeff for the big-ups of the swiss army brand... I am very happy with my purchase. I believe I got something attractive-yet-practical enough for any occasion.

kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:44 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, me neither -- that's what cell phones are for.

heh... there's a thread somewhere where I go off on how stupid it is to have a watch. I reserve the right to change my mind at any time.

kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:45 (sixteen years ago) link

The real reason to have one is that it's a classic accessory. And a handsome one.

kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:45 (sixteen years ago) link

I don't like accessories. I tried wearing a watch for a couple of days in like 6th grade, but I couldn't get used to feeling something on my wrist. I wonder how I'd do with a wedding band.

jaymc, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:54 (sixteen years ago) link

Cell phones are fine, but it's like the difference between a pocket watch and a wrist watch. Except that the cell phone isn't as aesthetically pleasing as a nice pocket watch.

Even so, a watch is more of a wrist accessory for me. A functional one.

My ex-bf used to wear his non-functioning watch when he would go out or dress up.

Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:55 (sixteen years ago) link

I have to wear a watch because I'm really anal about time.

n/a, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:56 (sixteen years ago) link

I loooooove accessories (right this sec I am wearing two giant plastic Jane Jetson-style bangle bracelets so big I can barely type with them on) but watches always seem to stop within a few weeks of my receiving them. And god knows I never get around to buying new batteries.

it's about time you were anal!

kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 19:20 (sixteen years ago) link

ignore me. I don't even know what that means.

"I'm really anal about...time."

Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 19:21 (sixteen years ago) link

So sleepy.

Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 19:33 (sixteen years ago) link

SO FUCKING SLEEPY!!!

Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 19:34 (sixteen years ago) link

You seem pretty angry about it.

Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 19:38 (sixteen years ago) link

And, you know, excited.

Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 19:38 (sixteen years ago) link

I think I'm going to get pwned in high school trivia tonight.

Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 19:40 (sixteen years ago) link

I think I'm getting pwned in a coast-to-coast break up for no reason that I can apprehend. Very confusing.

?!

Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 19:44 (sixteen years ago) link

Kind of like that, yes.

Laurel, Monday, 27 August 2007 19:44 (sixteen years ago) link

"high school trivia"?

jaymc, Monday, 27 August 2007 19:45 (sixteen years ago) link

so sweeeeepy ;__;

hey! question!

How?

How do I tab BACKWARDS through fields in a document?

Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:04 (sixteen years ago) link

shift tab

Jeff, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:05 (sixteen years ago) link

I didn't know that myself. Hm.

kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:06 (sixteen years ago) link

aw, Laurel. that sounds sad.

horseshoe, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Thanks. Muy helpful.

Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 20:22 (sixteen years ago) link

Jaymc, it's just normal bar trivia except the theme is stuff you learned in high school (I think I mentioned our team is the "McKinley High N0rsemen").

Shift + tab is key.
