Well, it's actually scientifically true: heat-sharing works!

I was suspicious of fake meat for the first few years of being vegetarian and openly mocked it before that. Now I love soy tacos, veggie burgers, chik patties, chik nugs (on and off, sometimes they gross me out for some reason), and the best are the fake corn dogs. I never really got into fake deli meat. Tofurkey, especially the ones with fake bones, give me the creeps.

Also, someone once crankily scolded me for touching him while sleeping and even in my sleep-fogged state, I was like "Yo, that should be your WORST PROBLEM, that your girlfriend curls up to you while she's sleeping. Shut up." So no sympathy here!

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 15:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I also kind of hate both those list-writers, even though both are at least a little bit right.

I dunno. I think they're both about half right, and I don't hate either of them. But maybe that's because I can only have the perspective of one sex at a time. Maybe if I could morph like a Moorcock character.

it's too early for this, what else is going on today? anyone? anything good? oh! since i took monday off it feels like tuesday to me today but guess what? it's wednesday! so that means thirsty thursday is coming early for me, thank fucking god.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 15:28 (seventeen years ago) link

No way, they're both only a little bit right, but both are totally convinced that they're 100% RIGHT and take, in order of address, a patronizing, moralizing tone, and a shrewish, brassy one. All unbecoming.

Also, for either one to be 100% right the world would have to be a place I couldn't live in, hence the vehemence of "hate".

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

At some point, just stop touching me.

Actually, that's not true. I do like a little bit of something against me. Just not AROUND me or ON TOP OF me. (Me and my cat fight about this, too.)

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 15:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Right, but the moralizing is somewhat called for, I think, if I apply those rules to myself. And the brassiness is... well, sexy.

I listened to the podcast of last Sunday's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me with Amy Sedaris and I laughed so hard on the train that I am sure people were considering calling the conductor for assistance. About 30 seconds into her segment I stopped trying to snicker behind my hand and just sat there and laughed loud and proud.

So I recommend it, especially to AS fans.

I like fake meat, generally.

Both of those list writers can take a long walk off a short pier. They both fall into the biological imperative trap within the first ten so they can both bite me. Also, everything Laurel said 2x.

Actually, that's not true. I do like a little bit of something against me. Just not AROUND me or ON TOP OF me.

i don't mind waking up and finding an arm or leg wrapped around me. or finding someone's head on my chest, that's always a welcome surprise for me.

unless, y'know, i went to bed alone or there's no body attached to the limb in question.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 15:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Huh. The magical tropical heat has ended and now I'm cool again. I guess that's because the outside temp has risen to a balmy 32.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 15:51 (seventeen years ago) link

And the brassiness is... well, sexy.

*GAG*

Sleeping: I can't sleep spooned or otherwise touching someone for more than, like, an hour. Then I have to scuttle off and sleep all sprawled out on my stomach, or just lay half awake all night.

I just got into work a little while ago, I was working on this recording that I'm obsessing over and lost track of time. But my boss is out of town this week so it's "cool".

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 15:55 (seventeen years ago) link

We're going to be talking about your heat a lot this winter, aren't we, Jesse? Also, with you on the gag.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link

EVAN, THIS IS FOR YOU:

If anyone wants it, I can... do that thing we sometimes do.

Yes, please!

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 15:59 (seventeen years ago) link

John, I YSIed and sent to Mark, but I don't have the link with me at work. He should. Otherwise, I'll re-up it tonight.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:03 (seventeen years ago) link

My brother Mark??

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:12 (seventeen years ago) link

just e-mailed you, john

― mark cunningham (robots in love), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:15 (seventeen years ago) link

wait, where did you move to evan?

and, speaking of new towns, i've been bummed lately about the whole friend things to. it was triggered b/c my birthday is soon & under normal friend-full circumstances, I'd convince friends to come out on saturday. as it is, i think leaf & i might see a movie or eat food out in the world or something.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

hi mark!! you were in my dreams a few nights ago. you had a baby.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

hi kelsey--i don't have a baby!

― mark cunningham (robots in love), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:18 (seventeen years ago) link

i know! but you did in my sleep. it was w/ yer ex . . . C. I forget how it all came about (my knowing about it, not the making of the baby).

However it happened, I hope he was very considerate and asked politely before penetration.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:22 (seventeen years ago) link

are they aiming to have the birds hump their hats? what is that?!

completely unrelated, but the Batman birds reminded me: i saw a great blue heron yesterday, just chilling in the parking lot to my apartment complex. it was huge--at least 4' tall. quite a beautiful creature.

― mark cunningham (robots in love), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:27 (seventeen years ago) link

wow.

hey -- what's with people using their real names on the sandbox? not that i'm complaining: i have more info to add to my spreadsheet now.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I love blue herons. My parents get them by their house. They're so elegant & yet secretly evil b/c they can be so aggressive . . . before my cat passed away, we were always afraid she'd get stabbed by one.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:29 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost You didn't have your brother's name on the spreadsheet? I guess that makes sense.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess I'm mostly thinking of Dr. Morbius, who was going around posting as Bill Weber for a few days.

now i wish i could have seen it in flight

― mark cunningham (robots in love), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I want to see a blue heron. where must one live for such a thing to happen.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:34 (seventeen years ago) link

well, mark is on the west coast & my parents live in delaware . . . but they're usually around water. i think i've seen a couple in minnesota since moving up here.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:35 (seventeen years ago) link

birds amaze me.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:36 (seventeen years ago) link

seeing that photo reminds me of how much i love bird legs & toes. on the blue heron, for instance, their legs are so so long & once they get up in the air, everything tucks in so tidy against their belly.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I've seen a few back home in MI. Sandhill cranes too.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I saw one of these standing in a pasture next to the freeway on Sunday.

screw chicks, dude

― grbchv! (gbx), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

that's an egret, right?

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link

At the college I attended in the UK, there were a couple of peacocks that hung out by one of the academic buildings. It was beautifully unsettling.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

i was at an art gallery/farm in new zealand & peacocks ran around inside & out. that was kind of beautifully unsettling as well.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link

One thing I find odd is that the joint in the middle of those bird legs is not the knee but the ankle. I think horses are the same way, actually.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Cats, too! The weirdest thing about birds is that their knees bend "backward" to ours.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I love the dancing kitty! I also love birds. Cuddling in bed is great, but I can't sleep that way, mostly because I can't sleep on my side.

This dvd intrigues me.

Yeah.
