Jesse, I'm totally stealing your line, it's the most noirish thing I've heard in wee--well, since I watched Brick. And it will result in me being handed things with vodka in them, which is always never a bad idea!

Okay, how do you strikethroughs? My usual HTML cheat-sheet has but it didn't come out right.

Ah, thanks. In that case, make my last post: And it will result in me being handed things with vodka in them, which is always never a bad idea!

omgomgomgomg the laundry guy just came and picked up all our dirty laundry (and I was not shy about not throwing some things in there that I've been meaning to wash for awhile, like the quilt the cat puked on) and will bring it back today at 5:30 and IT IS FREE and he said we can do this once a week until January 31 FOR FREE.

For no money, a nice young man comes to our apartment and takes away two huge bags of dirty laundry and then someone brings the clothes back to me folded and clean and fresh at 5:30 pm. For free. Once a week. Until January 31. At no cost to me.

Best thing that has happened to me in like, I don't know. Months? Years?

Why free?

Someone you know is famous.

My server at T's last night was wearing a color of nail polish that the woman at the salon said was called "I'm Not a Waitress."

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I have that - it's an OPI color called "I'm not really a waitress." It's a really nice red.

The laundry service is doing a promotion in our zip code - http://www.mud-room.com/. I'm guessing that it's a real drug dealer kind of move - get you hooked when it's free and then charge you $1.50 a pound for it.

Although, I think it's very smart. I usually have the time and the inclination to do the laundry myself. I like doing laundry! But when we're really super busy, I will drop it off. That has happened twice in our lives and we look at it as a necessary splurge, like taking a cab when it's pouring down rain and the train is broken far away from work. Now that I know that this place is trustworthy and efficient and reliable, I will be more likely to call on them for that necessary splurge in the future. It's more expensive, but then come here and get the shit so there's definitely value added there.

If you asked people the number-one most-popular after-hours snack, the answer would usually be pizza. But for many of us, without question, it's Mexican food.

More specifically, it's the taco.

The answer is always pizza! Even when it's tacos! Dummies.

xpost - damn, we're all going to have to see that movie together since it's like a showcase for our show biz friends.

otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:48 (seventeen years ago) link

All I'm saying is I've had much better. I guess I'm separating my judgment it from eating tacos for pizza. Just about any taco is good for pizza, Flash included.

A woman I work with has Bell's palsy -- or at least I'm assuming that's what it is. She looked fine (if obese) until a couple of months ago, now she looks like she had a stroke.

A week from tomorrow I'll be having Fiesta Mexicana for pizza and fried shrimp for dessert pizza.

JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:53 (seventeen years ago) link

i can not count the number of times i didn't want to see the second band at sub-t and instead went over to flash or underdog. i've brought flash taco back into the big horse which probably pissed the owner who worked the door off since the lounge was in back of a taco joint.

otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:55 (seventeen years ago) link

John, maybe she had a stroke.

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Or maybe it's all that fat weighing her face down.

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I still rep for Flash Taco because of the grilled peppers in its vegetarian burrito. Also, one time I was drunk and ordered a burrito from Flash Taco, and I was all, "Wow, this tortilla is interesting, it has a flaky texture, almost like phyllo dough" -- and then I realized I was eating the paper wrapper.

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm finally caught up and all better.

I have that nail color too!

I FRUXORING love Strangers with Candy. Amy reminds me of my own comedy schtick, in the privacy of my own home (to which Nick responds by saying, Sarah, please don't do that any more. It's not funny, it's disturbing).

My frenchie sis sent this huge email this morning detailing how she thought for sure her paperwork wouldn't work out so she had already had her heart set on going to spend Christmas with her hubbie's fam (and hadn't told us this) and now she's heartbroken because the papers went through and she can come to the States. GRR!

Update from last night: Marrakech v. good, go for "The Couscous".

danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 14 December 2006 18:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Last night I had a last-day-of-class bash with my students and

1) i made jambalaya with chicken andouille and shirmps instead of the soup, a good idea since i used stuff that was sitting in the fridge and didn't have to buy anything extra

2) my ethiopian student brought food THANK YOU

3) i brought some music for the party, including several ethiopiques selections and my student, B, said that she likes that music, but
a. it's popular among "old people"
b. "old people" like to dance to it at weddings

4) which leads me to believe that it's a bit like our Motown -- so the next time you feel all hip and worldly listening to your ethiopiques, realize that you are basically jamming to "My Girl". i will try to remember this as well.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 14 December 2006 18:43 (seventeen years ago) link

ethiopiques is the greatest lounge music of all time and i will never feel bad for grooving on that.

otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Thursday, 14 December 2006 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm not saying you should -- i groove on it too, or else i wouldn't have brought it to class -- but i thought it was funny that she said it was "what old people dance to at weddings."

you know, OLD PEOPLE.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 14 December 2006 18:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, totally. I know some dudes who play in a salsa band in town, it's cool but apparently in the timeline of Latin music the style is what people's grandparents and parents were hip to.
