Nah, I just couldn't believe that you hadn't told us about it, that's all.

my date's sinus meds made her loopy after her 3rd drink.
Sounds like my Thanksgiving this year.

she was fine for a couple hours then literally in mid sentence she grabbed her haid and "I need to sit down." then she started slurring her words and told me to take her home. we went back to my place and danced in the living room and made out under the comforter. that was a great night.

I have lost 3 lbs in the last month, even with holiday eating!

kenan, once you start listening for it you'll be surprised at how all-encompassing it's appropriateness (is that a word?) is.

that's so awesome that you're going to the UK, amanda!

xp sounds like uh every time i try to drink.

i haven't had a good NYE for a while. the last one was probably staying in manhattan with my sis and bro in law, going out for a really fancy dinner and then getting drunk at home and playing scrabble (i only had a few sips, but wooo am i a lightweight). i beat them at scrabble (naturally), but then they got into a discussion of something political/racial and i wanted to argue with them, but was too woozy to articulate much of anything.

"Sounds like my prom night."

So I just found what's going to be in the $tylu$ Top 50 Singles, although I don't know the order yet, and I can't reveal anything to you. Except I think Jenny will be pleased.

My favorite part:

Prom night romance and sex are not a package deal - prom is more than a three letter word.

Duh. It's a four-letter word. As in, "anal."

um my xp was in response to otto's NYE post.

How was the other band? So the sound was good then?

How do I shot Excel? Specifically, how do I make a column or two 'fixed' (so that they stay in view while the others scroll horizontally)?

I have a lot of nightmares lately.

I dreamed that there was a highrise condo for X-Men mutants, and on top was a football arena--with 5 fields atop one another--that would be the launching point for a "week-long, world-wide, air, land, and water" Mutant Superbowl.

The team leaders included The Terrorist, 1 of two cute little twin girls with pancake makeup who had a pet hyaena, some guy who used a lot of kinves, and some guy who could fly.

The twin girl who was not the leader had the hyaena eat the other girl so she could lead, but it would only do so after she stabbed her sister with pointy scissors. Then the hyaena smeared the blood of the team mascot--a plush pink bunny--on the windows.

Other band was fine, though not really my thing. And re sound, it was another one of those cases where it sounded horrible during sound-check -- all big and wet and rock-ish -- but by the time we went on stage the sound-guy had figured it out. That happens to us a lot. People don't get that everything has to be balanced, and that we're not a big guitar-rock band.

From the anonymous-to-you IUD emailer:

I have to play an elf at Macy's Sun morning at 9....I'm not fucking kidding

I was elf photographer during Christmas break at the mall all through college. I was dating this guy one year, and he needed a job, so I got him job as Santa. Then we broke up. Then I had to look at him through a fence of screaming children every day for almost a month. It sucked.

I got up early today, got to work early, and have been bustin' ass all morning. It kind of surprises me how productive I can be seemingly at random.

Anyone been to Nashville? I recall Otto (and probably others) discussing the greater Tennessee region before, if not Nashville specifically. I'm going there tomorrow for a wedding this weekend and will need places to kill time while my friends in the wedding party do their rehearsal, etc.

I don't want to tell you who the person was who wrote the IUD email, but the person who wrote that last one is Sayjal! Those of you who know her will probably agree that she is an ideal elf.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Hmmm. This headshot does not look a lot like her....

HOLY. FUCKING. POOPED. MY. PANTS. (but i'm not wearing pants)-- It sounded like my house just got struck by lightning.

SOMEBODY JUSS POOPED

I love this storm, but I wish I could have seen the look on my face when the last lightning and simultaneous thunderclap struck. It was one of those trebley ones that sound more like *CRRRRRACK!!*

Remember when I had a crush on Sayjal?

jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, dear.

Hey, a question:

"to support an organization that’s mission and goals I truly support" is grammatically correct but sounds really awkward. Could I get by with saying "whose mission and goals"?

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm in love with this website:

http://wsu.edu/~brians/errors/errors.html

I love linguistics and grammar on the trivia level.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Sayjal is cuet.

I would say "whose", yeah.

JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Whose certainly sounds better, but can an organization technically be a who?

whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:02 (seventeen years ago) link

An organization can be a 'they', so why not?

Robin's going away party, at that place where she stayed when she moved here.

That's a great picture of me. I look thin.

Jeff... (Jeff...), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Technically doesn't always win! Jesse you need a tattoo on your forehead that says "Don't hate me because I'm a prescriptivist."

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I am most certainly NOT a prescriptivist.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

You're the one arguing about which pronunciation is "correct"!

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 17:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I asked for some help editing my coverletter and it came back with "that's" which I knew was technically correct, but my ear balked at. Then my ear puked. So I gave my ear some Emetrol and ginger beer, which helped a bit, but it was still feeling a little queasy.

xpost: But I was arguing against John's prescriptivist ways!
