being warm blooded is a bitch, ain't it.

Eating can be a pain, but I do love me some flavors.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 22 February 2007 19:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Man, I luuuhhuhve eating. Sometimes I realize that outside scheduling cues or etc are telling me to eat but I'm not hungry and the thought flashes through my head, "NOW what do I do with my time?"

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 22 February 2007 19:20 (seventeen years ago) link

smoke.

― chicago kevin says it was nice knowing you all (chicago kevin), Thursday, 22 February 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

No, eating is the highlight(s) of my day.

oh, hey, chicago, if you're not doing anything tonight there's a show at betty's blue star with the mans, lafayette indiana's #1 proto/mildly retarded rock 'n' roll duo.

― chicago kevin says it was nice knowing you all (chicago kevin), Thursday, 22 February 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, that's why I have so many bad habits, the recurring thought of "...NOW what?"

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 22 February 2007 19:31 (seventeen years ago) link

whenever i think "ok, now what" i grab a beer, get a smoke, or start to read. sometimes all three. depends on how much time i have, where i am, what i'll be doing later etc.

― chicago kevin says it was nice knowing you all (chicago kevin), Thursday, 22 February 2007 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

huh, some friends of mine are playing a show at heartbreakers in milwaukee at the end of next month. i'm almost interested enough to go up there to see how that goes.

― chicago kevin says it was nice knowing you all (chicago kevin), Thursday, 22 February 2007 19:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Got two possible QA leads, Jordan - I'll check 'em out.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 22 February 2007 19:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I wanna play a show at a place called Heartbreakers.

― Calico (calico), Thursday, 22 February 2007 19:42 (seventeen years ago) link

it's a, uhm, gentleman's club. aparently band on one stage, regular artistic expression on the main stage simultaneously.

― chicago kevin says it was nice knowing you all (chicago kevin), Thursday, 22 February 2007 19:46 (seventeen years ago) link

YES YES YES. I doubt it would sell out, but maybe we should get tix in case there's a tsunami of hype when Matador finally puts out their record.
Oh, don't worry. I am always the person buying tix ahead when they let me. Even for shows that no one cares about. I'm not about to get all the way there to find myself disappointed. When does record come out? I only have the EP.

Also, I feel like I spend 75% of my time and money on food, but I don't mind. I would rather spend it on food than on something I don't enjoy. Like surgery.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 19:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan, what kind of QA work? Software?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 22 February 2007 19:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I was technically in QA a couple years ago, but it basically meant proofreading.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 22 February 2007 19:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm going to fall asleep RIGHT HERE. Someone start talking.

This is going on my quiz for tomorrow in the "identify the parts of speech" section.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Please give me more simple sentences.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Without complex (multiword) verbs -- action verbs preferred. I need 4 more. Also try to use a past participle as an adjective. Go.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:24 (seventeen years ago) link

A lady copy editor just complemented me on my U.P. t-shirt. I was kind of embarassed since I'm only wearing it because I'm behind on laundry.

I am trying to determine if I've got it in me to play in a soccer league this summer. I'd be a goalie 'cause I have no skillz and I'm huge.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan has decided to play in a soccer league this summer.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

That was quick!

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd like to play in some tennis tournaments. I can't take the commitment of a league.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan, how are your knees and do you have insurance? That seems to be the deciding factor....

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 22 February 2007 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Also how much do you like to sweat under loads of protective gear?

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link

PS My extra credit question was to write at least two sentences describing the ball of pants photo, using at least one adjective and one adverb.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

knees: middlin'
insurance: yes

Loads of protective gear? I think they get some gloves...
