(i don't understand jbr's new name! yet i like it)

it's from the second (or third?) verse of "auld lang syne"!

do ppl dress up for met? should i buy a dress?

some people dress up... if you have something you'd wear to a quasi-nice cocktail party you'll be fine.

403. Winter bonfire! Heading back out now to beers and warming alternate sides of body over the fire pit. Too bad Evan has left for airport(?), he would love.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 03:21 (seventeen years ago) link

i would like to go to one dressy and grownuplike thing before i go back... i've been in jeans/sneakers/bedhead mode for the past few weeks and i need an excuse to put on pretty clothes and uncomfortable shoes!

― we twa hae run aboot the braes (get bent), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 03:32 (seventeen years ago) link

hmm we should all have a classy noise night before you leave!
dressing up is fun!

― tehresa (tehresa), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 04:00 (seventeen years ago) link

306. forgot to mention the Korg DW8000 that I got for my birthday a few weeks ago!

― step hen faps (Curt1s Stephens), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 05:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Even if NYE is at the Ward, we should make agreement to dress up! Anyone who wants to, can. I like that.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 05:27 (seventeen years ago) link

307. Drunk!@ Awesome. Ready to sleep, and happily. Siblings and married-in are suddenly awesome.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 05:32 (seventeen years ago) link

dressing up is fun! i have dressed up like 4 times in the past 5 days! i am getting tired of it though and today wore most comfortable dress and decided a hoodie went with it fine. which was all a good choice b/c basically i spent the day 308. mildly drunk (this is my good drunk level, i think!) and 309. high, partly because my 310. new cute glass pipe i got for christmas! is the greatest. and yet i still managed to make 311. AWESOME TURKEY. my first turkey ever! plus yams and as already discussed, the stuffing and new-wave cookies of last night. and there was other good food. and finally i am tired and 312. happy and home.

Define your terms!

The numbering here is out the window.

###. baby niece looks like shelled turtle crossed with a Spielberg e.t., which works for me

― Dr M (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

all y'all should have seen the way people were reacting to the gingerbread nazi's. my friend j0sh nearly got fag-bashed by a black lesbian who wanted it taken down after he called her a 'humorless bitch.' i sure am glad i'm out of that town for a while.

308. Many good books for xmas.
309. Found w33d hookup in Philly! Finally.

― impermanent rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 16:24 (seventeen years ago) link

aw i want some snow!

what do people say to maybe nice dinner on nye? we could dress nice but not be too crazy formal and also have an enjoyable time prior to nye insanity that will come later?

― tehresa (tehresa), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

starting at dinner time is a recipe for disaster. regardless i work til 8.

― ian (orion), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link

302. cousin got me awesome ticket to the met for january

haha that was my present too! wife and I are going to First Emperor on Jan 9

― dmr (dmr), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 19:04 (seventeen years ago) link

well i have an afternoon function to attend already.

was just thinking diner could be cool and then people could retreat to their respective late night safe havens.

renard, we're going on the 10th! :D first emperor looks cool! we're seeing traviata though. but still, yay for noise dude liking opera!
maybe if you enjoy we can be opera buddies in the future? i can never find people who want to go.

― tehresa (tehresa), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 19:26 (seventeen years ago) link

this'll be our first shot at the opera, I'll let you know how it goes! pictures of the set from when they were rehearsing look pretty great. seems kind of like a training-wheels opera for non-opera-buffs (Zhang Yimou + sung in English)

― dmr (dmr), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 20:47 (seventeen years ago) link

also under xmas happy face I got one of these

that camera is a lot of fun. moving the camera as it shoots, especially if there's no action to document, can make some great angles

― jerginsito (jergins), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:23 (seventeen years ago) link

1000. cute widdle kids all over the place here. 4 yr olds with northern accents are cuddelstein like you read about. and yeah, Lrl, i was probably at the airport/on the plane. winter bonfires pwn.

!!! The Shandar one, Mike? That rules. I got nothing good at thrift stores in RI this time.

― ian (orion), Thursday, 28 December 2006 15:51 (seventeen years ago) link

1005. $GIRLFRIEND got me a melodica for x-mas!

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 28 December 2006 16:28 (seventeen years ago) link

1006. Got almost an entire set of upper- and lower-case wooden type from antique store in Grand Rapids!!! No numerals or punct, sadly. Had to search through about 6 giant trays and pick out letters one by one, but no "e"s or "k"s AT ALL even though I found about 5 "q"s. Which means someone took all the missing letters for monograms or signs or something, damn their eyes (a word I cannot stamp with my new letters, alas).

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 28 December 2006 22:31 (seventeen years ago) link

what size?

― jergins (jergins), Thursday, 28 December 2006 22:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know what size officially, the lowercase letters are about an inch high with some ball serifs (a, j, r) and the rest squared off. Short and fat, the exterior of the o might be a full circle. Have to "what's that font" it later. Especially awesome: the cut of the Z/z, where the inside corners are cut into negative balls in the same proportion as the a/j/r.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 28 December 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

oooohh that is so dreamy. really.

― the table is the table (trees), Thursday, 28 December 2006 23:47 (seventeen years ago) link

So it's similar to a wide Latin except the serifs are bracket-slab instead of the pointy ones. Identifont matches it most closely to the Linotype Egyptienne Bold Extended -- these are VERY squat and fatty letters! Oh god I'm in love. I will go back tomorrow and search and search for my missing letters (e, k, A, B, E, J, K, M, Q, R, X) and assorted bits. And good old mums has an old type tray somewhere.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 29 December 2006 01:17 (seventeen years ago) link

what are you going to make with them? or is it more just to look at?

― jergins (jergins), Friday, 29 December 2006 01:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know! I don't have frames or a press or anything and there aren't any spaces or furniture included, so the most I could do is stamp with them...? Prob only good for posters or signs. What would you do?

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 29 December 2006 01:23 (seventeen years ago) link

who typesets? really

― baby wizard sex (gbx), Friday, 29 December 2006 01:47 (seventeen years ago) link

maybe stamp and cut out paper to make stencils, or use them as bookends or paperweights, or string them up as a luddite's version of poetry magnets, or maybe stamp nonsense directly onto t-shirts. something like that

xpost

― jergins (jergins), Friday, 29 December 2006 01:49 (seventeen years ago) link

This is wood, not lead, no good for paperweights or bookends. Stencils not a bad idea but I think I really really like it as a curiosity...Kind of don't ever want to clean off the old ink and dust.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 29 December 2006 01:53 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, just let 'em sit, sure

1007. Finished both my dumb jobs forever and for good!
