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

― 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.

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.

― 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.

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.

i saw a few when i was canoeing on the huron river in ann arbor two summers ago.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Bird legs freak me out, actually. Too then, bend the wrong way, looking all reptilian, etc.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:47 (seventeen years ago) link

then = thin

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:48 (seventeen years ago) link

a friend of mine has a story about when she was little: she was always getting into arguments with her brother about whether birds have knees. at one point the argument turned into a physical fight and she broke his arm.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

"Too then" sounds like it could be a synonym for "so five minutes ago."

"Too then -- not enough now!"

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Birds actually do have knees, but they are closer to their bodies and often hidden by their plumage.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha.

Sarah, the next time I break up with someone, I'm giving her that dvd.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:51 (seventeen years ago) link

how are things with Emm4?

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

The birds' 'knees', like cats' 'knees', correlate to our ankles, not our knees.

― Michael White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

What about the bees' knees?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Pretty good, Kelsey. Taking things slow.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 16:59 (seventeen years ago) link

two lumps please, you're the bees knees but so am i

Would $30 buy you anything at a Michael Anthony salon? A mani? A pedi? I need to get my secret santa gift. I know she loves that particular salon, but I don't know if it's tacky to give someone a gift card that isn't big enough to cover ANY of the services...

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 17:17 (seventeen years ago) link

there are a couple of manicures under $30, Sarah (and a whole bunch of waxing, if she's into that.) also, $30 sounds really generous to me.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 17:35 (seventeen years ago) link

heh

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 17:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok, good. I don't know if you were here for it, but I was complaining a while ago about our office Secret Santa minimum gift amount being $35. Thankfully, I got someone I like well enough, so I figure I'll get her a gift card and then some dark chocolate from a chocolate boutique.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

YOU SHOULD BE SPENDING AT LEAST $35! MINIMUM! GOD WHAT IS WITH YOU, ARE YOU JUST CHEAP OR SOMETHING?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

UM... xpost

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

minimum $35??? who do you work with, oil tycoons? god, being a grad student is so sad.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

who do you work with, oil tycoons?

Worse. Shrill, pushy bitches.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 17:41 (seventeen years ago) link

back when I worked at a real job, our secret santa MAX was $20. that is the civilized way to accomodate your lower-paid staff, of which I was one.
