I hate hemroidal. It's a stupid story, but basically it goes like this:
* I was in charge of ordering beverages for the office
* bossman decided it was too expensive
* Hemroid was given the new duty of driving to costco to buy drinks instead
* I told her over a week ago we were almost out of diet coke
* In the meantime, we've also run out of bottled water
* She storms in today and is accosted by a bunch of people at once, "We need water! We need water!"
* She glares at me and says, "Sarah! You did not tell me we were out of water."
* I say, "I told you when we were almost out of diet coke. I figured you'd ask me what else we needed before you went to costco."
CATFIGHT!
See? Wasn't that story boring and uninteresting? I tried to warn you.

Anyway, screw her.

Basically, it's my fault that everyone is getting dehyrdrated because they are too good for tap water, even though it's not my responsibility to get the drinks any more.

Interesting videos showing how cocaine is made. There's a lot of gasoline involved, and one chicken gets its head pulled off.

Hi, I read MetaFilter too.

(well, I used to, before every single FPP was commented "not worthy of FPP, already seen this, etc etc etc.)

Sarah, you should invite then to taste the crisp, clean goodness that is Lake Michigan. Make sure you use those key marketing words.

I toy with the idea of dying my hair but then I think about upkeep and then I just leave it.

i used to henna my hair, or do red highlights sometimes. it was great fun, but fuck upkeep.

and fuck the uptight people at sarah's work.

If Lake Michigan is "crisp" and "clean" down here, I'll eat my own shit.

I have never wondered how cocaine is made, but I have always assumed that it involved getting some blood on your hands.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 19:10 (seventeen years ago) link

If Lake Michigan is "crisp" and "clean" down here, I'll eat my own shit.

And if you drink from Lake Michigan, that's just what you'll be doing? Ba dum bump.

That question mark really fucks up my joke.

xpost "down here" = out in front of Gary/Chicago/Milwaukee

There was a mess o' litter in the river this mornin'.

I think the nutcases who live out in the desert where it doesn't rain are stealing Lake Superior. There was a movement underway a few years ago to build this huge pipeline out of Minnesota to carry water down to Arizona and shit where people just really shouldn't be living in huge numbers because they depleted the aquifer. The plans got squashed but when I was up at the lake on Saturday the water level was down about a foot and a half to two feet from last year. It's kind of scary.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 19:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Lake levels vary I think. I read something in the Reader about how the Great Lakes remain protected under an old international something or other.

When I worked on the boat (on Lk Mich) the water was at varying levels around the pilings and the boat sat at different heights day to day. It's normal.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't really think people are taking the water, but I have been going to this same spot on the lake for 10 years and built a dock on it and can see the lines from where the water was vs. where it is now. The lakes have tides of a couple inches but something big has to happen to make it fluctuate a few feet in a year. Maybe lighter rain/snowfall, warmer temps, I don't know, but this is more than I've ever seen.

For example:

So here's the dock we built, you can kind of see the lines on the wood from the previous year's lake level. The horizontal boards are just above where the water was when we built it in 2001. I'm just saying it's weird and kind of freaked me out. Global warming/climate change/etc.

I was at Tokyo Lunchbox.

Oh man, I can honestly say that I miss that place now that I don't work across the street from one. I have found, however, that Annie Chung's instant udon is a fine substitute if I add a little chili-sesame oil to make it SPICY.

I just remembered: I dreamed last night that I was friends with Lindsay Lohan. It was great. We were just beginning to be friends and were excited about laughing together. She seemed a little oblivious of her own fame, though. I forget where we were, but Ed1th F. was across the room, and I kept trying to explain to LiLo that she was infinitely more famous than Ed1th. I was like, "You're sponsored by Blockbuster Video!" She was all fresh-faced, with wet hair.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Then you did mountains of coke.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:47 (seventeen years ago) link

No, that was the thing. She was as skinny as she is now, but she wasn't all skank-a-rific or anything.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah, fantasy.

My ipod chopped & screwed something last night. I was listening to the N.O.R.E./Neptunes track and it was running out of power, but instead of turning off it seriously started playing the song at half tempo. In time, intelligible, just sloooowww. It was sweet as hell. Has that happened to anyone else?

That's awesome, Jordan.

Btw, I liked the zaftig LiLo, too.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I haven't experienced that, but I discovered that if you shake my iPod a little you can hear something rolling around inside of it. Still works fine though. 3G WHAT??!

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan, I'm thinking about making you a mix of post-rock stuff I think you'd like.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Like what?

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Directions in Music, Papa M, Tristeza, Do Make Say Think, Pullman, Dirty Three, Tortoise, Jim O'Rourke, Kaki King, Gastr Del Sol, Idyll Swords, Tara Jane O'Neil, etc. etc.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Cool. I'd love a copy too.

(Do Make Say Think blows though)

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Boo. "Goodbye Enemy Airship" is my jam.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm all about it, but just so's you know I already have two Tristeza recordz.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Also did I push the C0ugar record on you already? I really love it. The 0ptimistic is opening for them at the end of January, and I think they're going back to the Bottle too.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Good to know, Dan. Actually, I have zero -- but it seemed like something you would like! (My brother used to have a copy of Spine and Sensory.)

I still have only heard Cougar on MySpace, but I remember enjoying it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I've got that one and their next one. I saw them tour for that record and play at MichFest in 1999 or so. A whole day of hardcore bands with them in the middle and the stage all lit up blue. It was great.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:15 (seventeen years ago) link

A coworker lent me a DMST record last year and it was kind of jam-bandy and loose, with two really boring drummers. I don't remember what record it was though.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I have two. The one I like best is & Yet & Yet.

JorCoh: Have you heard Mice Parade?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I haven't heard most of those other bands though, just Tortoise and a couple of tracks from Directions in Music and Durrty Three.

xpost, nope, or them

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Lately I have been big loving Explosions in the Sky, Mercury Program, the new Six Parts Seven record, and the Appleseed Cast double album while at work.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Here's a good article on Mice Parade. I only have Mokoondi, an album that's based around the cheng (Chinese harp).

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I would like copies of all mixes, please. But you can save yourself a CD by just YSIing since I'll just rip the tracks and put the CD in a drawer somewhere anyway.

I like & Yet & Yet.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

A post-rock mix would be super nice because I could listen whilst studying.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Dan asked me yesterday to recommend him some post-rock so he could listen at work without being too distracted.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Words are annoying me lately.

SACRAMENTO = AROMA SCENT

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Mice Parade sounds like something I might like.

Winter Hymn Country Hymn was the DMST record I heard.

I can't listen to music while working/reading anymore, it's all too distracting.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh yeah, Winter Hymn is just okay.
