The temporary Hastings thread

suzy, you could be the non-robotic Martha Stewart. In a good way.

I did get inspired and wrap several things, and I helped J. wrap a present. If there's anything that makes me appreciate doing something I'm bad at by myself, it's when I have to try to herd a 4 year old through the process... Still, I fear you wouldn't approve of the job I've done, suzy.

ICS Vortex.... Icy S. Vortex...
Fiery G. Maelstrom...

I will check out the last.fm thing, thanks GZeus.

Actually, that is part of the beauty of selling liquor. Very few kids, almost no returns, and everyone is happy when they leave.

All that being said, I wouldn't take J. into your store on a bet. Some parents are nuts.

Martinis with your manager = HAPPY HOLIDAYS, INDEED

This afternoon I am doing roll out cookies with FOUR kids (and, thankfully, two other adults). Maybe I should stick the bottle of vodka I bought into the freezer for emergency rations...

MERRY CHIRSTMAS, FLY OUT TO BOSTON TO SEE MY SHOW TONIGHT

I WILL BE THE ONE WEARING THE CLOAKING DEVICE AND I WILL BE EXTREMELY QUIET

I think I made up a new word to describe the shit the Donald threw yesterday: man-trum.

LIKE THE WORD GOOD COINAGE

Merry Xmas to all of you!

Hmmmm, maybe I'll come to Boston tonight, too. I haven't teleported in years... but then who would make the cookies?!

Dan, that is FB, obv. He's changed a bit since Sept.

...and also a few days before I flew home I had to catch a cab and competition for these was fierce at Baker Street. I got to cab before these two blonde ninnies who clearly felt entitled to my ride and called me an ugly bitch for getting there .5 seconds before them. My reply? "you forgot 'faster and smarter than you' and I'M IN UR FACE, TAKING UR CAB!" Then kissed my swear finger at them as I rode off, apologising to driver for said antics.

However, it's not perfect, so I'll sell something else and keep the thing.

Whatever.
Who wants what omiage(souveniers)?
It'll be mid April at the soonest when I return.

Plz to recommend musical experiences for my sis and I. And curry.

I've decided to eat some kind of curry each and every day that I'm in the UK. My GI tract is less excited than my mouth, but whatever, he's a bit of a low man on the totem pole, you know?

?! Story here?

(Also, how was your semester and are you done with orgo? Important questions must be answered!)

For curry I always send people to Shampan on Brick Lane, Diwana (veg, Sunday = paneer day) on Drummond Street, Kastoori (vegetarian) in Tooting or you should just amble on down to Southall for the Asian Suburb experience and choose any restaurant - although I prefer the Punjabee. They have a good Sri Lankan on tghe way from train station to the Broadway there.

suzy: sweet. i'll have to cut and paste that. i'm definitely into cheap. we'll be staying in W2 (i think??), if that means anything.

Argh on your prof, that sucks about the full grade thing. When will you be doing your med school applications? (I have an ex who is doing it now - at age 38 or 39. I'm pretty sure your orgo grade is better than his was, too. Plus he took that class in, like, 1988 or something. Not much doubt in my mind that both of you will get in, actually.)

Help, everyone: my mom has a headcold and is getting mean! I brought her the best matzoh ball soup in the Cities and she is being a total fucking bitch, still. Not even a thank you, which is a hanging offence when she doesn't get one. She accused me of not speaking English and I was this close to telling her to get fucked, and was that English too difficult for her etc. KILLKILLKILL.

However also from this deli: proper corned beef and black-as-night pumpernickel.
