1. I logged into anOSX VNC server on my laptop at home using a TightVNC client I installed on my work computer and then started a Nicecast stream on the laptop so I can listen to anything I want on my iTunes library using WinAmp from work!

2. The woman at the hot dog stand only had soft packs of camel lights, but I still had my hard pack with one left, so while I was smoking that one, I ripped off all but the foil from the soft pack and put it inside the hard pack so now it's like a brand new box!

i typed a letter on an ancient typewriter as one of the attorneys i work for dictated it to me while standing beside me smoking a cigarette like we had been warped into the 1940's.

I smoked a Dunhill light for the first time today.

i made a stop frame animation.

I asked for and got a raise!

― Comme personne (common_person), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I gave inefficient admin type people a hard time and stood up for my rights!

You got a raise and now you're posting on ILX! Subversive.

Woke up early enought to see Orion and Venus in the sky right before an absolutely beautiful dawn. Wonderful stuff.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Enought? *cough cough*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Cool! I like it when Orion comes around again.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I went home and ate a tomato and goat-havarti (govarti) cheese sandwich for lunch.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I drank five cups of black coffee. I have never liked the stuff and am currently trying to develop a taste for it. When I'd finished cup three I felt like I was coming up on something, about to be off my tits. I bet the buzz won't last.

Maybe part of my job description is to post to ILX.

This evening I will do another cool thing I've never done before: go to a Daily Show taping. This is a great day

― Comme personne (common_person), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:56 (twenty-one years ago)

This is a great day, just wish I could think of something to do with it. Well done on the furthering your career through doing things you like front.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, well, I wish that were actually true.

― Comme personne (common_person), Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Now, now, no false modesty on this day of days!

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I taught my friend how to play chess, and we had three games in row. Unsurprisingly, she lost all of them, but it was still cool. I hadn't played chess in ages myself.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I won the first game of chess I'd ever played (through blurring my opponent's concentration with continuous questions). I thought it best to quit while ahead.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Not that I did this, but: I got my 2002 (er, yeah, long story) tax assessment back and owe much much less than I thought and am therefore able to pay them in full! Sure, it's not rocknroll, I am stickin' it to no one and certainly not the tax man, but it'll do for today.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not being modest: I deserved it! But I can't imagine what kind of negotiations would ever place "Post to Mentalist Internet Message Board" on my task list.

― Comme personne (common_person), Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

That is what you have to orchestrate to get the next raise.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, she almost one the first game too, but that was because I had my guard down, I didn't think she could offer much resistance in her first game. I'm not that good a player myself, though.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Woke up after sleeping on two 7.5mg hits of (prescribed) Zopiclone. Surreal. It's been a week to (not?) remember.

― LC, Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I had lunch with my step-father and ordered a salad as my main course.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 23 September 2004 22:23 (twenty-one years ago)

watched a great stanley donen movie called two for the road that has albert finney (prickly and lecherous) and audrey hepburn (audrey hepburn) fucking and fighting their way across europe. i'm ashamed to say i hadn't seen it before; i was only sort of aware of its existence.

― Cripps Pink (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 23 September 2004 22:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I pulled a knife on my class.

― ex-jeremy (x Jeremy), Thursday, 23 September 2004 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

err, it was for the acting assignment.

― ex-jeremy (x Jeremy), Thursday, 23 September 2004 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

i didnt masturbate

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 24 September 2004 00:05 (twenty-one years ago)

i listened to tunes on my new ipod

― gem (trisk), Friday, 24 September 2004 01:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I actually stopped at an intersection for a red light. Damn proud of it, too.

I gave my boss a copy of American Psycho at his going-away party tonight. My boss' boss slapped me on the shoulder and said I win for best gift. Then I passed a calculus quiz!

― TOMBOT, Friday, 24 September 2004 02:18 (twenty-one years ago)

what kind of party game is a calculus quiz?

― gem (trisk), Friday, 24 September 2004 02:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I drank for the first time! Buzz has worn off.

― chrisco (chrisco), Friday, 24 September 2004 02:26 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, i'm such a loser

― chrisco (chrisco), Friday, 24 September 2004 02:26 (twenty-one years ago)

NOthing cool for me really but I might use this thread to boast - my friend N and her boyfriend got to be in the audience (of only 200!) for some MTV show that was the Cure, and MCeed by Mazza Manson and N was sitting like 10 feet from Robert Smith all night.

Lucky cow.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 24 September 2004 02:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh this was the other night btw.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 24 September 2004 02:46 (twenty-one years ago)

If I can include last night, I won the 800 metres at the Athens Olympics!
