Sure did! Couldn't go too esoteric on everyone (had to cover an age range from 14 to 92 including mainstream, baby boomer, and the odd drone rocker or three). The full track list is on one of the wedding music threads.

My contribution -- Spectrum's "How You Satisfy Me." Which utterly befuddled a lot of the crowd. (I was v. happy.)

Robyn, I used to have that exact same Totoro pic as my computer background too.

Didn't realize my camera could do this fancy business until just now:

Spent a good deal of the last five years in this bedroom. Within a few hours it will no longer be mine, tears, etc etc.

I must say that prisons are very plush these days. But remember that you may be shunned by certain sections of society, as you have a criminal (Tom Jones) record...

snoball, Saturday, 2 August 2008 15:46 (seventeen years ago)

lol

Is loving Tom Jones a challop? Man I hope not.

RabiesAngentleman, Saturday, 2 August 2008 15:52 (seventeen years ago)

Me too.

Everyone's pictures are awesome. I love the pose and the guitar.

Man I love kayakin, haven't done it since I was 16. Great face!

Ok, this is actually for real my last post for the next month-ish (or sumthin like that) until we get the net hooked up. Moving starts...NOW!

Bye guys :)

RabiesAngentleman, Saturday, 2 August 2008 16:33 (seventeen years ago)

*waves*

StanM, Saturday, 2 August 2008 16:34 (seventeen years ago)

YEAH that so didn't happen. Guy who was occupying the room I'm moving into is in there and still asleep (sort of a shifting space thing going on), hadn't moved a thing, which is ridiculous because he's known the specific plans for a week and was reminded again yesterday of the situation, a bunch of garbage is blocking his (MY) door, broken window down the hall, grate thingy ripped off the chimney and thrown off the roof, and when another roommate woke told him I was "moving in right now" he goes, "Now? Yeah I work today" and goes back to sleep.

So 3/4 of my stuff is just strewn about the house and there's a going away party for another friend of ours there tonight.

I've ponied up rent and he hasn't.

I was actually supposed to move in LAST weekend but there was pretty much a similar version of what just went down, minus the stuff broken, and my things weren't all packed up and waiting in a car outside. It's been known I was moving in for months and when we try to plan it nice and neat-like when the time came, then this fucking shit.

</vent> Gyah.

it's ok.

gr8080, Friday, 29 August 2008 03:47 (seventeen years ago)

sunny, what do you do, put it on after?

roxymuzak, Friday, 29 August 2008 06:49 (seventeen years ago)

nothing. its the hairspray!

sunny successor, Friday, 29 August 2008 13:43 (seventeen years ago)

lol @ this convo

roxymuzak, Friday, 29 August 2008 15:53 (seventeen years ago)

right. spry it all over and no frizz

i mean. your hair doesnt need to be a stiff. i usually spray on and then use flat iron

sunny successor, Friday, 29 August 2008 16:06 (seventeen years ago)

plz move discussion to I like hair forum

Edward III, Friday, 29 August 2008 16:22 (seventeen years ago)

in a MINUTE

rrrobyn this is a quote from hairscoop.com:

" A girlfriend of mine, who models professionally, has hair that expands exponentially in the presence of any humidity- so you can imagine the reaction it had to New Orleans, where she was on location for a recent photo shoot. Taming her tresses was a challenge for the entire hair team, who tried every prestige product available with little success. As soon as she'd step outside and onto set, her hair would take on a life of its own. That is, until she introduced them to her secret weapon...

When she first told me about White Rain's amazing anti-humidity hold, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. How could it be better than my beloved luxury sprays and serums? But it is, and I've been converted. I now rely on White Rain whenever NYC's muggy weather proves to be too much for my (naturally curly) locks. "

sunny successor, Friday, 29 August 2008 16:36 (seventeen years ago)

wow, im sold

roxymuzak, Friday, 29 August 2008 16:58 (seventeen years ago)

Ed's beard gets better and better. I wish I could grow a proper beard.

Ned Trifle II, Friday, 29 August 2008 17:00 (seventeen years ago)

It says "taming her tresses" = it is bad ad copy and is not to be trusted

nabisco, Friday, 29 August 2008 17:04 (seventeen years ago)

i trust sunny

roxymuzak, Friday, 29 August 2008 17:13 (seventeen years ago)

i mea who am i gonna take hair advice from, sunny or nabisco

jaymc, Friday, 29 August 2008 17:38 (seventeen years ago)

hair that expands algorithmically

elmo argonaut, Friday, 29 August 2008 17:40 (seventeen years ago)

why would you want to straighten lovely curly hair. you crazy

homosexual II, Friday, 29 August 2008 17:43 (seventeen years ago)

i will be sure to look for this white rain stuff! despite the great likelihood that i won't be able to use it b/c of sensitivities to yknow all this chemicals
(this is what happens when actual posting of pictures is slow)

rrrobyn, Friday, 29 August 2008 17:49 (seventeen years ago)

hair that expands e=mc2

rrrobyn, Friday, 29 August 2008 17:51 (seventeen years ago)

Dumb question but have you tried straightening irons?

Autumn Almanac, Friday, 29 August 2008 21:29 (seventeen years ago)

i believe this is not abt straightening hair but abt keeping it non-poofy/frizzy/exponentially increasing o_O
also, the straightening irons, they do nothing (that lasts longer than 2 hrs)

rrrobyn, Friday, 29 August 2008 22:08 (seventeen years ago)

i found a scribbled note in an old diary of mine: "boys call flat-irons a 'hair straighteners'"

and yes, this is about keeping hair from becoming increasingly o_O (love this phrase) AFTER straightening. immediately after styling my hair it looks perfectly stick- or norwegian-straight (RIYL: the hair of Fenriz), get me south of georgia or in front of any >5 watt lightbulb and i become sideshow bob

sorry for diversion

roxymuzak, Friday, 29 August 2008 23:44 (seventeen years ago)

The warm glow of the wonderous Jaq's epic vinyl collection. Do you have any of that guitarist from Hee-Haw?

Abbott, Sunday, 31 August 2008 17:41 (seventeen years ago)

Did you dye yr hair brown, Jaq? I like how it's looking.

Abbott, Sunday, 31 August 2008 17:41 (seventeen years ago)

Alas Abbott, there is no Roy Clark amongst all that vinyl, but there is some Buck Owens. Hairs are currently fading out of something known as Golden Bay (med auburn).

Blueski looks underwater. And anatol_merklich, you are looking intently happy with that fire there.
