Actually, botar is OK too, according to the most useful website ever, wordreference.com. The best might be Favor de no echar en la basura or Esta botella no es basura, y si no quiere que el ICE le deporte, no lo tires en la basura, pinche mojado flojo.

And the cleaners should leave a note saying, "Comprete un Nalgene, puto Americano."

Kr told me to use "botar." I think she consulted with her Ecuadoran co-workers.

Don't tell her to ask them what I said means.

I like the small mouth bottles better because I am less likely to pour water down my chin when drinking. I don't use much ice and never leave Chicago so filtered water isn't an issue, either.

I am now down to one bottle and no caps, though, so I need to pick up a couple more to get my three bottle rotation in place for next semester.

Sunovabitch I have to work a full day today because my coworker is sick. BOOOOOOOO. Who wants to meet me for lunch?

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i would but i'm at least 5 miles from chicago city limits and about 15 from the loop so i doubt i could make it.

I finally put my Ikea bookshelf together last night.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok, 3van put it together and I helped.

Also a problem w/ the small-mouthed bottles: can't get a spoon in them when you make chocolate pudding by wedging the bottle between rocks in cold running water. : D

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:04 (seventeen years ago) link

wow, that's like the pudding equivelant of free basing cocaine laurel.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

you may have a pudding abuse problem.

You try eating freeze-dried, boiled things for three days and see what you'll do for pudding.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't understand the MacGyver pudding.

I want to see Children of Men but apparently it's not playing here. :(

i'm not talking about what i've done for pudding on the internet.

Wait, what's not to understand, Jordan?? You're in the great out-of-doors, in need of nourishment, you have previously added powdered milk to some pudding mix and dumped it into a Ziploc. Now's the time to add water, shake, and CHILL. And then eat.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:31 (seventeen years ago) link

xp:

john, get a metal bottle. it's not plastic.

also: hubcap is fine! he was very tired when he got home but I think that's totally normal.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:33 (seventeen years ago) link

oh, yay, Kelsey! that's such good news.

I think I might go to Skokie to get a good bagel at this Kaufman's place today.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:35 (seventeen years ago) link

hubcap does have a new "haircut" however. it makes him look so bad ass. the long scar doesn't hurt, either (in the bad ass department. it might actually be causing li' hubcap some pain b/c the vet gave me pain meds to give him).

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha I guess I've never bothered to make pudding before.

xpost, I am glad your cat is okay, Kelsey

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:37 (seventeen years ago) link

jordan, it's a rat.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:39 (seventeen years ago) link

which is kind of silly in a way & i felt slightly embarassed at work yesterday when i said i was leaving to pick up my rat from the vet. but hubcap is great. even the vet assistant said that after meeting hubcap he kinda wants a rat. hubcap is very very sweet. he'll cuddle anyone.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:40 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm glad your rat is ok kelsey.

i have to go to a wake for a cat tonight. i just saw him friday night! he'd lost a lot of weight but he still looked ok. anyway, his former owner is having people over for cocktails and chex mix.

― otto midnight has a pudding problem (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:41 (seventeen years ago) link

not silly at all! one of my college roommates had a pet rat that was a total sweetheart.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, that's just instant pudding, which is pretty crappy compared to the home-made stuff. But you take what you can get.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:42 (seventeen years ago) link

for those who love pudding and aren't out camping: it's really easy to make from scratch, and so much better than pudding mix chemically stuff. the betty crocker version of vanilla pudding, straight from the microwave, was my comfort food for a long time. xp--yes!

yay for badass healthy kitty cat.

― mmm pudding (JuliaA), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:44 (seventeen years ago) link

jordan, it's a rat.

Oh. I take it back then.

(j/k!)

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:49 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm actually in the process of contacting a rescue to get a new cage friend for hubcap. i feel like as a human i'm just not enough for a rat.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 16:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Yay Hubcap! I'm so glad, Kelsey!

Julia, how do I shot pudding from scratch?

Okay, John, get one:

http://www.nalgene-outdoor.com/store/images/2079-0016L.jpg

They supposedly don't have the toxic chemicals supposedly in clear plastic Nalgene bottles. Laurel, surprisingly, I'm sure, I don't make a lot of pudding in streams so... yeah.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 16:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I still gotta vote against the narrow mouth, srsly.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 16:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Although when it rains a lot, there's a pretty fast-moving river of water that runs down Addison, so I could probably make pudding there if the mood struck me.

I probably have a defective lip or something but about the third time I poured water down my chin during class I realized I had to do something different. Although there is always this:

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 16:35 (seventeen years ago) link

You know, perusing the Nalgene website, if their #7 plastic bottles really do leach carcinogenic chemicals into the water and should be avoided by babies and pregnant women, the fact that they make a bottle especially for toddlers is more than a little evil:

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Also: the link between hard plastic Nalgene bottles and cancer is pretty tenuous and much debated. It's one of those "you're getting more cancer from breathing in the city" type situations: "There is no doubt that polycarbonate bottles contain BPA, but there's little evidence that it leaches out into liquids under normal conditions. Even if small doses do seep, the chemical's effect on humans may prove harmless."

chicago, why is damn near every site i want to go to today blocked? i have some record shopping i want to do dammit.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 17:12 (seventeen years ago) link

pudding: big pyrex bowl, whisk, microwave, milk (skim is fine), corn starch, vanilla extract (always more than the recipe calls for), eggs, sugar. i think that's it...i'll look up a recipe for you.

awesome awesome comfort food and oh look you're getting so much calcium!

and yay for healthy rat, i was too distracted by pudding thoughts to understand.

― mmm pudding (JuliaA), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link

This is probably a stupid question, but I need to send someone an email and I don't want to start it off with "I hope you had a lovely New Year" if it would be inappropriate, and so: Do non-Orthodox Jews celebrate Jan. 1 New Year's or do they stick to Rosh Hashanah? Is it okay to start an email to someone whom I assume, but do not know for sure, is Jewish with the aforementioned New Year's greeting?

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 17:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Healthy pets are far preferable.

I watched the premier of "Dirt" last night on F/X, and while the show didn't blow me away despite a hefty helping of sex, violence, and mental illness, the subplot involving a sick (and finally dead) cat proved almost too much to take. I had to give the kitties treats after that and make them promise never to die.

huh, i just realized i haven't had a cigarette today. and probably haven't had one in 13 hours. i wonder why i'm not nic-fitting?

― otto midnight has a pudding problem (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes Jenny, NY greeting is perfectly fine.

I was just making fun of a Jew on NYE for already having had their shot, but I don't seriously know any Jews who ignore western-calendar New Year's.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 18:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks, Jordan. I will send the email. My Jewdar tells me that this particular fellow is Reform to nonpracticing so I figured it would be okay but one can never be too careful.

Everybody come back and entertain me. Work blows and I'm all alone in my little law hole. Also I worked out my schedule over the next two weeks to conform with my coworkers and she keeps freaking changing things and messing me the hell up. Grrr.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 20:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't have much to say. I wish I did.

― look at them eating. i bet it tastes real good. (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 20:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess I could share with you that I'm excited about an all-new NBC Thursday lineup tomorrow.
