More precision, plz.

I think everyone knows that my secret to appearing to have a great memory is that I write a lot of shit down. That combined with some degree of photographic memory.

My memories of L34h have nothing to do with iguanas at all. Probably because she was - of course - in dance with me.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Strongest memory of L.H.: This must have been my junior/L34h's sophomore year, because that was the year we did Les Sylphides. We had these tiny white leotard costumes with spaghetti straps; there was no real way to wear a bra underneath them. L34h came out of the girl's dressing room and into the makeup room and announced, "What is the first thing you see in this costume? NIPS!!!"

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 19:01 (seventeen years ago) link

I only like pets that can be used as food if the need arises. Thus, iguanas are a poor option. Before Jaymcdan provides information about the pet tarantula at my family estate, that belonged to my father.

John Justen wishes you all waterfalls of poppage. (John Justen), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

What John isn't saying: he ate the tarantula as a midnight snack, thinking it was a cookie. Not to worry, his father forgave him. Eventually.

(Also, that tarantula lived in your room, John. You can't deny that Muffin was yours!)

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 19:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Her name was Winnie, named after my paternal grandmother. Dad and her didn't really get along.

tasty iguana

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

L34h didn't have an iguana; she had a boa constrictor. Still a reptile, though. She also had a ferret.

I knew I should have made the "jaymcdan" joke before John could.

deejp (dan perry), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 19:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha ha, I remember that your Dad called her "Winnie," but I mis-remembered why.

Alex came home from the library last night with a book called Spiderology and now he wants a pet wolf spider. You can imagine my thoughts on that.

Sam - EW! (although alligator is pretty good... tastes like chicken).

L34h had a boa constrictor?! And a ferret?!!!! Wow.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 19:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I've smelled ferrets. No fucking way I'm eating one of those things.

John Justen is interested in eating your pet. (John Justen), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 19:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, I'm sure they'd be better cooked. Er, not that I'm encouraging you to eat one.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 19:55 (seventeen years ago) link

"Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Now, remove the stink oil sack gland, and set aside..."

I so look forward to your future life as a cookbook author.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Remember, her dad was a KEEEEERAZY biology teacher! They had all kinds of bizarre, fucked-up pets. (I think they had a tarantula at one point, too.)

Jesus Dan (dan perry), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Appropos of nothing:

(xpost) Ha, I knew Mr. H for years before he was my bio teacher; I know he was "KEEEEERAZY." 4nn3 was my dance teacher since 6th grade; plus I took a year from her in second grade or so. All I remember about their pets, though, is that Mr. H once had a - squirrel? or raccoon? - named Rocky.

Also, he offered my advanced bio class extra credit for beheading roadkill of various sorts, cleaning it up and bringing in the skull. I was willing to go pretty far for biology class, but even I had to draw the line there.

So John, who is that little girl? She looks kind of like you. Same expression on her face.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:08 (seventeen years ago) link

John, I think the H3b3rt family had one of those, too. The named it T0ny4 Taste and forebearance is keeping me from making an awful, awful joke.

L34h and I were in classes together from preschool up until she moved up to Mpls with her mom, plus they lived out our way, so I knew the family well before taking H's class, too.

Jesus Dan (dan perry), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Aw, T0ny4 seemed okay to me...

Mr. H put up with my increasingly snarky attitude through my senior year, which I appreciated, and I enjoyed his craziness. Like cooking morels for us while we were dissecting our pigs. Also, hiring me to help with ski club accounts. And he put up with my refusal to take a pass to the bathroom with me after I was 18, because I thought it was ridiculous and said so.

I'm simply subjecting you all to the finer birthday images I'm finding for Kali's myspace comments.

John Justen is interested in eating your pet. (John Justen), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I vote for that one! (and happy birthday to K4li?)

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Aw, T0ny4 seemed okay to me...

T0ny4 was more than okay! That little girl just reminded me of her.

Jesus Dan (dan perry), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I can see that (er, having quickly reviewed what she looked like in a yearbook). I didn't know her well at all, but she seemed cool.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, happy birthday to Kali is correct.

On an unrelated note, Dan...was it mongrel, or mutt?

John Justen is interested in eating your pet. (John Justen), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I'm blanking on context here but my subconscious is telling me "mutt".

Jesus Dan (dan perry), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:52 (seventeen years ago) link

H3b3rt related, bio class talking about hybrids, he uses his geneaology as example, and you respond...

John Justen is interested in eating your pet. (John Justen), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:02 (seventeen years ago) link

GOOD OL' SUBCONSCIOUS

Jesus Dan (dan perry), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Yay happy birthday to K4l1! (I'm always happy when it's someone else's birthday.)

Dan... I only wish I remember that moment in bio class. Why does John remember it when he wasn't even in our class?! So unfair. Then again, John had his own biology-class related fun.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Leave it to John to tie it all together for us; birthdays, biology, and edible pets.

(I like this one, but I'm not sure you should call K4l1 "yak." She seems cool and all, but that might be pushing it. The image is pretty great, though.)


Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, my final test is tonight (at long, long last) between 5:30 and 7:30. Please send good vibes my way if you think of it during that time period because some of the information I'm solid on, but some of it is slipping through my brane...

The really good part: tomorrow I get to start my baking and wrapping frenzy, and get started on the 90-100 Xmas cards I need to get out. YAY!

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

My sister's pet rabbit is here for a while.
Stew.
Babbits are frustrating. 'I love you...from the floor...forever.'

My cat is sitting across from, and staring at, my nephew.

Bit by bit the entire DrunkBoy Records librady will slowly be made available on Last.FM's previews and downloads.
This is likely be something we'll continue for a year or so as a promotion method.
Bit by bit things will be moved to eMusic, but with albums ranging from 6 to 81 tracks, things get expensive at $0.99/song.

I humbly as those here to listen to some things as they are put up, and recommend other do so as well if you enjoy it.

Geza T (The GZeus), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Hmmmm, could you explain Last.FM a bit more for the mentally incompetent among us (meaning me)? I'd be happy to check it out.

Also Dan, if you are reading this, thank you for being too polite to point out that none of the solutions to the proposed problem (on my blog) were correct. (Well, I'm pretty sure. Insomnia and exhaustion are still influencing my ability - or inability - to think. The sad part about it was that I was completely sober when I wrote it; since I had to make the hour drive home I didn't have the Bloody Mary I wanted. Probably a good thing!)

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:29 (seventeen years ago) link

i wanna see yr blog sara!

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha, no you really don't. It's just on my myspace. Here is last night's incoherence:

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=68759503&blogID=205338175&MyToken=83687a29-d6c5-438d-ab03-db7eb6b2356e

The one before it, where I relate my humorous mistake about penis anatomy, is more coherent. Which is a sad, sad statement.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Er, Sara...? I kind of did point out that none of the solutions were correct. Sorry.

Jesus Dan (dan perry), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:53 (seventeen years ago) link

i would make you my friend but i've kind of been banning myspace for over a month now. seeing how long I can stay off.

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah, Dan, but you were so circumspect as to be incomprehensible to my addled mind. So I'll still count you as polite. How did I pass grade school? I have no idea any more. SERIOUSLY!

Sam, not to worry about myspace. How long can you go?!

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

WOW I was addled last night. (I re-read your comment Dan... god I was out of it. WOW!)

I am going to drive to Hastings today to get my hair cut (yeah, yeah, the same person has cut my hair since I was 12). I hope my brain is functioning enough to drive by now. Maybe I should let J. drive...

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Thursday, 14 December 2006 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Umm...
Last.fm is a site that allows you to do two things: see what other people are listening to(see Ugly Puppy on John's MySpace or bones on mine) and also to listen to and/or download music by clicking on the songs that are listened to by said people.
Once the DBR catologue is up, anyone listening to a DBR artist on the Last.FM system will automatically post a link to the relavant album.
This alone will help, but reccomending things to people who might be interested extends things past that.

So yeah. It's on it's way. I shall put up more Waking Up Corky and possibly some Satanists In Love and Warm [Ph]{F}ilters.

Geza T (The GZeus), Thursday, 14 December 2006 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks dude, I'll check it out when I get a chance.

I'm off to Hastings for the day... blah.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Thursday, 14 December 2006 16:51 (seventeen years ago) link

"blah" is definitely an appropriate response to going to Hastings. Another is "oh god, please no, anything but that".

Jesus Dan (dan perry), Thursday, 14 December 2006 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link

It could have been way worse. J. had a great time seeing her grandparents and being fussed over by the lady who cuts my hair (who I also adore). Then we ate lunch out with my Mom, which was weird - I saw Kr1sty P34ch4 and Ms. D4v1s. (Remember Ms. D4v1s?)

Oh, plus my Mom gave me a blow dryer for my hair, cuz you know, she needs me to look prettier.

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Thursday, 14 December 2006 22:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I'M IN UR AREA STEALIN MY NEIGHBOUR'S BROADBAND SIGNAL!!!!!!1!

suzy artskooldisko (suzy artskooldisko), Friday, 15 December 2006 13:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Yay suzy's home!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just thinking yesterday about how you'd come home and it wouldn't be as cold as it was and how disappointed you'd probably be. ;)

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Friday, 15 December 2006 14:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I never want to fly Continental EVER AGAIN. The SHIT they fed us, the hassle of changing planes, the way BOTH Gatwick and Houston's relevant sections of the airport for Con Air smelled like dirty socks and the way anyone wearing shiny navy polyester trousers was delusional about thinking we, the customers, worked for them or something. One nice thing was the stew who gave us free wine and handfuls of pretzel packs because we were delayed for three hours getting on our "Express" flight.

Not too cross about the snow situ because I'd have to shovel for my mom otherwise. Also am sure we will have some while I'm here.

OH HOLY JESUS GOD my mom's alarm just went and it's OFFENSIVE - the Lone Ranger theme. WHY????

suzy artskooldisko (suzy artskooldisko), Friday, 15 December 2006 14:14 (seventeen years ago) link

mmm, I kind of miss stealing my neighbor's wireless. Funky, Warthog, always wondered who they were.

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Friday, 15 December 2006 14:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Yikes suzy, your flight sounds awful. If I'm remembering right, you didn't want to fly Continental anyway, but had to for some reason? I don't remember the last time I did, but it's not an airline that I have positive thoughts about.

Lone Ranger theme alarm? Okay, well, I guess it would wake you up... My Dad's cell phone ring tone is the Mission Impossible theme, if that makes you feel any better.

I am lame and have never stolen anyone's broadband signal!

Sara Robinson-Coolidge (Sara R-C), Friday, 15 December 2006 15:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah, but see the COMPUTER asks me if I would like to join a network, which counts as an invite to me!
