Am I allowed on, or am I only going to make things worse?

(in a completely qualifying-this-because-you-have-a-great-boyfriend kinda way)

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:44 (twenty years ago)

the sun is coming up.

xpost lauren, aim? am I am?

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:46 (twenty years ago)

sup lauren, whats the haps

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:46 (twenty years ago)

this is so wonderfully embarassing.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:48 (twenty years ago)

ps my last ex checked out ilx, so what? fuck it (we're still friends).
-- hstencil (hstenc!...), February 2nd, 2005 11:41 AM. (hstencil)

Yeah, well, so are The Spy and I (still friends) but I'd kind of like to keep it that way.

Which I feel like I will compromise if I go all over ILX and spout "Ohmigod, Morph is so damn hott!!" and start mad-flirting with you, Stence, and offering to marry you. None of which jibes very well with my "Put the ~~computer~~ boy back in its box and send it back to ~~Microsoft~~ MI5 because you are too ~~stupid~~ neurotic to ~~own a computer~~ Be In A Relationship" stance.

Sigh.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:48 (twenty years ago)

i am listening to voice of the turtle and watching the sun come up.

ps KATE!

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:49 (twenty years ago)

...though really I suppose that the flirting with Stence and lusting over Morph really is a way of avoiding Being In A Relationship.

I don't even have the excuse of drunkenness. I'm just still on a high from last night.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:50 (twenty years ago)

What did you think to the Vichys?

(PS this thread is GREAT)

― Ess-rah, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:51 (twenty years ago)

I thought the Vichys were FREAKING HILARIOUS. I found them immensely enjoyable. The amount of bitterness and vile contrasting with the pristine 80s synthesizer was very effective. But I would find it hard to see them as a musical group, rather than a comedy/commentary political statement.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:53 (twenty years ago)

Well, I killed that thread. Where did Andrew and Stence go?

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:57 (twenty years ago)

the less i drink,the more drunk iget.

god, really, i amsorry. i haave seen things...you wouldn't believe.
](KATE!)

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:57 (twenty years ago)

I'm here, I'm here.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:57 (twenty years ago)

I've been watching Twin Peaks for the last 5 hours so I'm a bit weirded out.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:58 (twenty years ago)

REACTION time getting much sloer....

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:58 (twenty years ago)

anderew you MIdGETST!

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:59 (twenty years ago)

Do you want me to do that thing with the cherry stem and my tongue, then? Would that help make the world seem a normal place again?

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:59 (twenty years ago)

I am too stoned I need to sleep

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:59 (twenty years ago)

what what?! hstencil please!

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:59 (twenty years ago)

Wish I was DRUNK!!! Only had two glasses of wine last night and then I went home coz I didn't want to be hungover at work.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 11:59 (twenty years ago)

Trayce we are so close but yet so far.

Why..

Why!?

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:00 (twenty years ago)

i need a joint.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:00 (twenty years ago)

oh kate, come to your home country.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:00 (twenty years ago)

Home country? Honey, the last time I was in NYC, it felt like a FOREIGN COUNTRY!!! The money was all strange. And people talked funny. And all the cars were on the wrong side of the road.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:02 (twenty years ago)

ABdrew: I have plenty here, yr welcome over any time. Oy I cant typer. Ima bed now.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:07 (twenty years ago)

Nah I quit, but thanks anyway Trayce. :)

Kate I could've sworn you were of British origin.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:13 (twenty years ago)

Andrew, I am British. But I did live in NY for 15 years or something.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:15 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I thought so.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:16 (twenty years ago)

What's it like doing a Twin Peaks marathon? I've never really done one. It's been years since I saw it. Did a Buffy marathon last weekend (11 straight hours) and we were pretty twisted by the end of it.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:18 (twenty years ago)

I do marathons with pretty much every TV series. Twin Peaks is one of the most satisfying things to digest in large amounts, except it always leaves you unsatisfied and slightly confused.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:19 (twenty years ago)

You do kinda realise that Lynch was winging it most of the time, though.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:19 (twenty years ago)

But I thought that was the whole point of Twin Peaks - to leave you unsatisfied and slightly confused!

The only thing I ever used to marathon on was Babylon 5, when I no longer had a telly. I would get my friends to tape it for me, and then I'd watch a month at a time.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:20 (twenty years ago)

God that series is awful! How can you stand it?!

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:22 (twenty years ago)

Trayce tells me it helps to be st0n3d.

― Dr. Z Indahouse (AaronHz), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

ANDREW IF YOU DIS THE BABLYON 5 WE CAN NO LONGER BE FRIENDS.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:24 (twenty years ago)

I thought we were already sworn enemies?!

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:24 (twenty years ago)

::cries::

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

Well if you want to be friends, that's fine.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

Right there's a horse in this chick's living room, this is just getting extreme.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

No, you just dissed me and Bablyon 5 in one fell swoop. I'll just sob in the corner here.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

I didn't diss you. I seriously thought you didn't like me. Anyhow, Babylon 5 is utter crap and I'm not going to move on that point.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:27 (twenty years ago)

You actually thought I disliked you? Wow. That's unfortunate. I know that we've had spats in the past, but honestly, I try to have a goldfish memory with regards to that sort of thing, unless it's serious or long-term enough to f*ck up my life. There are very few folks on ILX I actively dislike. Seriously.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:30 (twenty years ago)

ugh, babylon 5. my mother (the same woman with a star trek communicator badge) LOVES that show. she has a calendar and a mug with the ship on it.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:32 (twenty years ago)

Holy crap, Laura's dad is killing his niece.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:32 (twenty years ago)

Oh wait he didn't kill her, just fucked with her pretty badly.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:33 (twenty years ago)

Well, you know what, I like Star Trek, too! And Dr. Who. I'm sick of knee-jerk anti-sci-fi anti-nerd prejudice. Humph.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:35 (twenty years ago)

Hey, I like Start Trek and Dr. Who. I'm a sci-fi nerd.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:35 (twenty years ago)

I just think B5 is so, so, so poor.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:35 (twenty years ago)

I mean, sure, yeah, a lot of sci-fi-geek-nerds *are* pretty freaking irritating and sad, but dismissing the entire genre because of it... that's like dissing *all* Rock ChiX0rs because of the sad twats who run around Hackney with "Libertine" scrawled on their arm.

x-post

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:36 (twenty years ago)

What do you not like about B5, then, Andrew? Which season did you start watching it at?

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:38 (twenty years ago)

I just saw random episodes of it and was pretty unconvinced by pretty much everything I saw. It all seemed extremely second-rate and uninspired stuff.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:39 (twenty years ago)

Like, I never got into serial-watching any sci-fi series, but I can easily sit down and watch a Star Trek episode, but if B5 is on it's just "BORING".

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:40 (twenty years ago)

i'm not saying it's nerdish. i just happen not to like babylon 5 and all of those sci-fi channel knock-off series with square-jawed people (and token friendly aliens) looked consterned in outer space.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:41 (twenty years ago)

Haha that's a pretty good analysis, lauren.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:41 (twenty years ago)

It's not really one of those things that you can just dip into random episodes of - it's much more of an over-arching storyline sort of thing.

I don't get the uninspired thing, though. I suppose it's much more a sort of philosophical and plot and character-driven thing than a TECH TECH SUPER SPACE SCIENCE STUFF OH WOW thing. I find the writing to be quite amazing, and its surprisingly well acted for a space opera.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:42 (twenty years ago)

Oh wow he did kill her.

Well I guess I juts never got into it.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:44 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I guess I can see that it's really a thing for obsessives only. Noodles said he had the same problems getting into it.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

that's what my mother says. different strokes for different folks, horses for courses, etc etc.

xpost to kate's defense of b5

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

I guess this means I'll probably *never* get The Spy to watch it now. Sigh.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:47 (twenty years ago)

"Babylon 5 is a big pile of shit"

sorry, just doing obvious Spaced quote

― Stevem On X (blueski), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:48 (twenty years ago)

Hey Kate you better check out the 3some thread. They tricked an admission out of me.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:48 (twenty years ago)

In a *barn*? That's not very imaginative!

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:52 (twenty years ago)

That's how I remember it anyway.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:54 (twenty years ago)

You just *thought* it was a barn. It was really a Vorlon spacecraft!

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:56 (twenty years ago)

Hot.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:12 (twenty years ago)

Bored now. Sigh.

― The Phantom of the Operating System (kate), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:16 (twenty years ago)

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:26 (twenty years ago)

Yo.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

And that's a day for me. Goodnight.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 13:34 (twenty years ago)

I thoroughly recommend Stenc's reign at Siberia. The beers may be overpriced, but he isn't. (no idea what I mean by that)

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 18:26 (twenty years ago)

I think I will listen to Thee Shatners.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 18:26 (twenty years ago)

how did this thread get to be about tv shows i've never even seen?

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 19:47 (twenty years ago)

We could change it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 19:57 (twenty years ago)

that is true.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 20:03 (twenty years ago)

Geez I sleep for one night and Andrew disses B5 while I'm not looking, the nerve!
