Being back at work after a fun weekend with old friends is a dud.

Coming back from said weekend to a cold apartment that doesn't want to heat up is also a dud.

People in Tennessee are some of the worst drivers I have ever seen, or maybe they're just all drunk.

I don't know if I've ever seen Rocky or Jaws in non-edited-for-TV versions.

I wore flannel-lined Carhartts today and was very comfortable on the way to work, but now I am experiencing a bit of overheating.

I am starting to agitate for TT early this week. Thoughts?

xp - And pagan sexytimes.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Pretty much.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Exam time is like being eaten alive by Billy Wilder during a historical reenactment of a pagan ritual, so it all makes sense.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I can only hang out on Thursday, so unless we go out on Thursday, I will not be there.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyone going to see the FFs tonight?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Jaws is such a great movie. Robert Shaw especially, but even Dreyfus is good.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Needless to say, I must decline to participate in FFs and TT. I have my first exam on Friday. It should be easy, but I'm not going to tempt fate by going in with a hangover. Even if I have been studying while drinking coffee and amaretto for the past week.

xpost - I love Jaws.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Also who needs FREE tickets for the C4N4ST4 show on Friday?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:54 (seventeen years ago) link

In which sequel did Rocky start smacking her around? Or am I making that up?

hm. Maybe you're thinking of The Godfather?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:55 (seventeen years ago) link

He's a rough-and-tumble working-class dude -- it's bound to happen.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Jaws is great. I think I've only seen it on tv though, I should really remedy that.

xpost to Kenan: You know, I might be. I just have this picture in my head of Talia Shire with a black eye.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I will be at the show tonight! ha ha

I am also up for TT this week.

LUNCHTIME!!!

― Calico (calico), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I can only hang out on Thursday, so unless we go out on Thursday, I will not be there.

Oooh sorry, I just meant early planning, not an early event.

I am at about 50/50 on going to the EB tonight.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Wait, Monday show = free, right?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I am planning on going to the FFs show! what time?

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Where did you find that?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

It was on Idolator.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh man, I was really close to spitting water all over my desk there. Thx Hugo.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:38 (seventeen years ago) link

"Money Mark remix"

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Horseshoe, the Bottle website sez the show starts at 9:30. FFs play second, so I'll prob get there around 10.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

"Money Mark remix"

I liked that, too. I haven't thought of that guy in years.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, Dan, c'est FREE.

It's Fn cold up at my desk. Someone needs to invent more hot drinks for me.

The high for Thursday is supposed to be 20. That would be a nice day to not have to wait for the bus and then walk.

― Calico (calico), Monday, 4 December 2006 19:20 (seventeen years ago) link

There's some kind of malfunctioning equipment near my office this morning. The room smells nauseatingly like burning tires.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 4 December 2006 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

It's a good thing free donut/muffin/bagel day only comes once per month at work or else I'd be fat like Joe.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 4 December 2006 19:47 (seventeen years ago) link

There's some kind of malfunctioning equipment near my office this morning.

We keep hearing a loud, deep rumbling, like the El, except we're on the 19th floor. It's kind of alarming.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 4 December 2006 19:51 (seventeen years ago) link

It's Godzilla.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 4 December 2006 20:01 (seventeen years ago) link

I think only the general shape of my face and the face I am making in that picture make me look like either David S. or the other guy.

In a developing story: IT'S HOT IN HERE. The sun is beating on the kitchen and living room, creating a strong greenhouse effect. I have opened windows and am not wearing much of anything.

Grousing kills thread.

I'm getting nothing done today. But I have a meeting in a minute, and that will feel like something.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 4 December 2006 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

2x getting nothing done

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:02 (seventeen years ago) link

3x. I've got a meeting from 4 - 6 that'll kill the rest of the day.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan, I heard tale of a $30,000 custom drum kit that was installed in the studio my friend works at in Nashville. I wouldn't even know where to begin with something like that.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Was it made from the wood of a one-of-a-kind cancer-curing rainforest tree or something?

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not sure. If I remember right he said titanium figured prominently in the design of the thing. Also, all the parts down to the smallest fittings were US-made, which probably jacked up the price a lot. I guess most custom makers will do the shells and rims and such themselves, but get the hardware pieces from overseas or something akin to that.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

4x, though I'm not at work yet. But still I have a stack of laundry that is literally as tall as me and I could be applying for jobs.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:15 (seventeen years ago) link

And I have something in my apartment that has been a source of shame for me....a wardrobe box that I have been putting all my trash in since Courtney left. It is all paper trash, nothing rotting, mind you.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan -- do you have the whole Clipse record now?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh man, my friend bought that CD for the trip this weekend. He got the rental car, so I probably heard it at least 10 times.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't understand what all the hype surrounding it is all about. It has some good beats and there were one or two good overall tracks. But I gotta say it's overrated, and they're probably selling all the coke they rap about to internet record reviewers.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I don't really listen to much rap on the album level, but people talk so much about the Clipse I figured I had to hear it. And it's like Metacritic's 3rd-best reviewed record of the year (although that will probably go down once more reviews come in).

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I might have just heard it too many times in too short a time frame, too.

Funny side story: My roomate M@tt (also at the wedding as he was standing in it) had never heard of the Clipse. His quote -- "what is that, some new mp3 player?"

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I've never heard of them outside of the Internet.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan -- do you have the whole Clipse record now?

-- jaymc (jmcunnin...), December 4th, 2006. (jaymc) (later) (link)

i do
