Pumpkin is hardly "fruity-flavored." It's more of a bittersweet memory.

Sounds kind of emo.

I just figured everything out, and I am going to Alaska in a few weeks!

Whoa. How come? Is 3r1c@ involved somehow?

Pumpkin beer is

a bittersweet memory
a favorite sweater
an autumn sonata
freshly cut wood and the first time you light the fireplace
a crisp breeze
a train in the distance

xpost: Possibly. I need to see if she's got to go up there for her tribal board meetings around then. But she's moved out to Washington state now 'cause she got a job teaching at Evergreen State College.

Two of my best friends in the world (one since I was like 3 years old) live in Homer, AK and I'll be going primarily to visit them.

Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance

Ah, that's cool.

IIRC, Evergreen State's two most famous alums are both cartoonists: Matt Groening and Lynda Barry.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 1 September 2006 15:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh weird, Charles Burns went there, too.

Okay, and I'm forgetting Kathleen Hanna, Corin Tucker, Carrie Brownstein, Calvin Johnson, and Kim Thayil.

Not to mention Michael Richards.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 1 September 2006 15:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Yup. Also: most of Sleater-Kinney, Phil Elverum, Kim Thayil, and Issac Brock I think...

xpost Exactly! It's a cool place.

I visited there once when I was 14. The campus was very woody.

here i am

hi jesse.

alaska has always seemed like a really great place to visit, i've known a couple of people from there but never managed to get there.

FAUX-LX YOU

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 1 September 2006 16:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I just e-mailed someone, and she responded via text message. Weird.

I don't want to work, I just want to play online all day. I mean, more than usual.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 1 September 2006 16:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Re: AK... Yeah, that's about the sense I get from it too.

Best quote while setting this up, from my friend Seth: "You can shower at my work, so you don't have to pay for it." Because there's generally not indoor plumbing in the houses there, there are bath houses (not that kind of bath house... or maybe it is, I don't know how they roll there) for the whole town to use.

danno martinez, Friday, 1 September 2006 16:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Fascinating information:

The Frat Boy billed for 62.25 hours of work this summer. For the entire summer. This means that this law firm paid him $109/hour for his legal work.

...

Ha ha Dan's going to an Alaskan bath house.

jenny (pullapartgirl), Friday, 1 September 2006 16:57 (eighteen years ago) link

No, see, I can shower at the Homer Soil and Water Conservation District because my friend works there, and it will be free! Free hot water!

Of course, I'll probably still go, if only for the handjobs.

danno martinez, Friday, 1 September 2006 16:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Atta boy.

I don't understand. Surely he was around more than that, or he wouldn't be bothering people so much.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 1 September 2006 17:08 (eighteen years ago) link

I will have worked that much this week when it's over.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 1 September 2006 17:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Law offices bill clients for their time. So for each project we work on, we have to turn in a time ticket that lists the number of hours we workedon, who the client was, and what we were doing. We're in the office and getting paid hourly for roughly 40 hours a week, give or take some time for getting in late, leaving early, or working overtime.

So, while the Frat Boy was in the office 40 hours a week give or take all summer, he only worked 62.25 hours of that.

And 6.5 of those hours were "reading the handbook" and I don't even know what the fuck that means. But it's not billable client stuff.

jenny (pullapartgirl), Friday, 1 September 2006 17:13 (eighteen years ago) link

What is Frat Boy's first name? Is it Josh? He sounds like a Josh.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 1 September 2006 17:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Mark

jenny (pullapartgirl), Friday, 1 September 2006 17:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Both the Frat Boy and the Orthodox Jew were named Mark. We collectively referred to them as "The Marks" as in, "It's just me and the Marks tomorrow, so I know I'm going to be busy."

jenny (pullapartgirl), Friday, 1 September 2006 17:39 (eighteen years ago) link

I would have guessed "Cliff." But hearing that it's actually Mark is kind of funny too. He's a Mark-ass CHUMP.

danno martinez, Friday, 1 September 2006 17:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Speaking of which, do you think the spike in the popularity of the name Brendan in roughly 1997-2000 had anything to do with the career of Brendan Fraser? Its peak was in 1999 (#96), which is when The Mummy came out.

xpost CLIFF? I've only met one person our age named Cliff, and he was a stoner-lookin' doofus who used to intern for PFM.

Oh, man. If I had to justify every hour I was here... whew.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 1 September 2006 17:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, it was more a humor-oriented guess than a real guess. If I'd have been serious I probably would have gone for someting like Dave or Bob or maybe some serious yuppie shit like "Tanner."

I once had a friend named Mark. By the time the dust had settled, he wasn't really anybody's friend anymore. He had my ex-girlfriend on his arm, though.

I remember doing mushrooms with him and some other people on Eeyore's B-day in Austin on year, and we were all off our heads pretty good, and some guy walked up to Mark and said, "You're the devil. I can see it in your eyes." Which fucked with all of us, but not as bad as when some totally different guy later walked up to Mark and said THE EXACT SAME THING. We kinda chalked it up to being some elaborate prank by people setting out to fuck with tripping people, or maybe just the kind of weird coincidence that only happens on hallucinogens. But as it turns out, he actually WAS the devil.

I was watching Ham On The Street just the other day, and he went to the laundromat to cook food in a dryer. I wish I could remember what he was cooking.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 1 September 2006 18:03 (eighteen years ago) link

it's shocking is what it is. that's not in the f.q. or anything, that's just in some residential area. that's too much, i say. it's one thing to be suggestive by having her on a wrench, but that adjustable arm pointing toward her cooch.....
