xposts Oops! Forgot about that. Yeah, I do. I haven't been by there in a while, because generally when I get out of work I want to get away from here as fast as possible. :)

I have never read House of Leaves. Is it as unaccessible as it sounds?

xpost (And that's the same reason I don't take advantage of the Ratner Center... I should really get over there instead of wasting $ paying for my gym.)

I hear that. but it does have lots of books.

dude, the Ratner Center is the best! it's my favorite part of school. yes, I realize that is very sad.

Once I finish Prep I am going to read A Short History of the World because my knowledge of history is absolutely pathetic.

Actually, if anyone can recommend a history primer, that would be great. This seemed like a good choice, but if you've read something else that weighs in at around 400 pages and is very readable and helpful, I'd appreciate it.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 18 December 2006 22:11 (seventeen years ago) link

It's actually surprisingly accessible. Someone said on that graphic novel thread that it's like a graphic novel w/o pictures. And that's pretty much right. I think it's very accessible.

Well, I'd be kind of bummed if you said the GSB or something like that.

Ha-ha: I went to the CPL and accidentally picked up another book with the title A Short History of the World and fortunately I thumbed through it before leaving with it and saw that the final sentence said something about "...and in the future more and more people will realize that Communism is synonymous with Progress." Oops.

OMG who put the Muppets/John Denver Christmas album on the blog? I am going to download that bitch tonight and have instant flashbacks to being four years old. AWESOME.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 18 December 2006 22:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, forgot to say: Xmas mix = good, Otto!

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 18 December 2006 22:22 (seventeen years ago) link

those fuckers at the GSB get free coffee and other items of luxury. I resent them.

but seriously, I love the way Ratner looks like a big ship that got marooned on campus.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Monday, 18 December 2006 22:22 (seventeen years ago) link

amanda put that muppets album up. the rolf song has me contemplating opening up my wrists.

Haha that's totally how I have described it in the past, like it's got a sail on it.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 18 December 2006 22:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I figured it was Amanda. CANNOT WAIT.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 18 December 2006 22:28 (seventeen years ago) link

later chicago, be good to each other.

I just snoozed through Poltergeist 2 and now I'm going to finish making the changes to my paper while not really watching Amityville Horror 2. They were in the house less than five minutes and blood came out of the kitchen sink faucet.

Man, FEARnet is good for free terrible horror movies.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 18 December 2006 23:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Whenever Kevin says, "Be good to each other," I get that Journey song stuck in my head. Ohhhhhhh be good to yourselves!!!

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 18 December 2006 23:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Possessed brother and non-possessed sister talking in A-ville Horror 2:

Sis: You know what's weird? I think mommy doesn't want to make love to daddy anymore. I heard her crying. *pause* Why are you looking at me like that?
Bro: Because you're beautiful. Let's get on the bed.

After some more conversation...
Bro: Take off your nightgown.
Sis: What?
Bro: Just for a second.
Sis: Well, okay. Just for a second!

This movie is so bad!!!

Oh god, he just handed her her panties. Now they are making out.

Now she is confessing having gone "on the way" to a priest!!!!!

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 18 December 2006 23:36 (seventeen years ago) link

WTF?? I have never seen this movie, and now I know why not.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 18 December 2006 23:39 (seventeen years ago) link

"All the way," not "on the way." Duh.

Well, she explained a little - see they live in a possessed house and the brother is possessed and they did it to make God angry. Also Burt Young is the abuse father of the family who likes to beat his wife and four children with a belt.

Also the acting is terrible.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 18 December 2006 23:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh no! Mom just got clued in to her oldest two kids' incestuous relationship! It's like Flowers in the Attic except they are all brunette and Satan is their roommate.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 18 December 2006 23:48 (seventeen years ago) link

LOLZ

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 18 December 2006 23:50 (seventeen years ago) link

It should be said that the original Amityville Horror was a real turd, too, so it's not like they were bespoiling a classic here.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 18 December 2006 23:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, everybody's dead now. Movie over.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 00:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh wait no! There are still 30 minutes left! Well, this can only get better. I should have made some popcorn.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 00:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Or taken some Tums.

I've given you all the gift of Muppets and uncontrollable crying fits this Christmas season. It was not my intention to cause wrist-slicing, but if you had this record as a kid and can make it through the whole thing without crying, you're a bigger wo/man than I am.

Because I just had a Grade-A sobbing fit. I can't figure out why, either, I just did.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 02:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Sobbing triggered by the Muppets? Or just random sobbing? I woke up last night from a dream in which I was crying, and I was crying in real life.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 03:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Christmas sobbing is a tradition in my family.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 03:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I woke up last night from a dream in which I was crying, and I was crying in real life.

That's better than me. I woke up from a dream in which I was having sex, and I just had soft sheets in real life.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 03:36 (seventeen years ago) link

A quote by Oscar de la Hoya brought on full-fledged tears. WTF.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 03:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I have never ever had a wet dream.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 03:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Neither have I. Just really dirty ones. I jerk off too much to release in my sleep.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 03:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't even do that all that often. Sometimes I go for more than a week. Not many guys I know can claim anything close to the same.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 03:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Goddamit, this is a conversation about crying, not J/O.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 03:54 (seventeen years ago) link

haha Sorry.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 04:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Sobbing triggered by the Muppets?
What, this doesn't happen to you? The only thing that allows me to listen to that album in the company of other people is the sequencing. Mercifully, a tearjerker is followed by a funny most of the time. But I've been known to burst into tears randomly throughout the whole album.

I thought/believed Muppets were real for a surprisingly long time. They were like Germany or Japan -- I knew Germany and Japan existed, but I had never been there. Likewise, Muppets existed; I had just never seen one in person. But eventually I would, if I were in Muppet Country.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 13:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Can't stop here, this is Muppet Country.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't have sexy dreams, either, and a friend did once point out that you have to be repressed in some way for that kind of thing to break out in yr sleeping mind. And so.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I have sexy dreams, but not even in the height of teenaged hormone floods did I have an actual nocturnal emission.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:34 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't remember my dreams but i would hope if they were good ones i would remember.

i would like to dream about muppets tonight. not a sad muppet dream nor a sexy muppet dream, something like going grocery shopping with grover or having beers with dr. teeth or watching football with rolf. just doing something normal only with a muppet.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I work with a guy who is 39 who says he has them a couple times a week even at his age.

Wet dreams seem like kind of a hassle, what with all the mess.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Amanda, I tried to download the Muppets album, but the link went to a page that said "delete this file?"

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Wet dreams only happen if you're not having regular wa(n)king emissions. I think I've had ONE.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Also I cried last night after getting a backrub.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I am living anecdotal evidence to counter the claim that sexy dreams result from insufficient waking sex/masturbating.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Lucky!

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think anybody has made that claim. I have plenty of sexy dreams, they just never result in semen emanating from my penis.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:47 (seventeen years ago) link

*peep*
