Well, my dad has been made. :-D

So he's not in the mob then?

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know the mob lingo.

I forgot Lost is on tonight!

my sister and i have been having a running political debate via email since last week but i am now totally jealous of her because she got to see this while i had to read about it in my inbox:

"We went to a Dennis event four years ago at Rivier
College in Nashua. He had a "warm up act" of these
two really geeky just-out-of-college types. They
claimed to be married. He was a human beat box/one
man band with some sort of electronic stuff taped to
him and she did interpretive dance. They called
themselves the Vibration Army. They wore regular
clothes with homemade tank tops on top of with a V
and an A in glittery material glued on them. It was
probably one of the top 5 funniest things I have ever
seen in my life. Note, that the crowd was probably
about 40 people."

i suppose it's funnier if you know what southern central new hampshire is like.

We're going to get one of those homemade pizza kitchen pizzas! And watch Lost!

Are you excited about being an aunt, Jenny?

I'm happy for them. That bro tends to get the cosmic shaft all the time so hopefully this will be a good happy thing in his life.

oooh! i want spinach and carmelized onion pizza from there! i won't get one because i don't want to walk any further than i have to in the snow.

Oh, yeah. Happy Valentine's Day!

Made. This movie is pretty hilarious. It's kind of like watching what would happen if I got "made," ie, inducted into the mafia.

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link

OH yeah. I forgot about that movie.

My mom just sent a poem I wrote in high school to my sisters and I as some sort of e-valentine. I started reading it and was like.. ugh.. this is awful... what is this? Why is she sending me this? Oh, yeah.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Last night, we watched Half Nelson. I'd recommend it. But then as I was trying to fall asleep, I suddenly got the fear of god in me that I drink alcohol too often and that Chicago has been a bad influence on me. Then Nick said, There, There, Sarah. There, There... and I fell asleep.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

!!!!!!!!! Aw.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, tell the fear of God to relax, and make it a martini.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

anyway, around addison some broad pushed passed me and called me an asshole. i'm pretty sure she was a dyke.

KEVIN YOU ARE A TREAT

I want to stay home today, too. But no.

― Bodhisattva, let me take you by the hand (kenan), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i swear to god the first time i read that i thought you called me a teat. i had to check twice to make sure it wasn't jenny calling me names and that i hadn't really insulted her.

i should have worked a barelycorn's reference in there.

I've been spelling squeegee wrong. It's not "squeejee."

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I braved driving to work today because I was worried I would go crazy insane if I spent another day in the apartment all day.

― n/a (n/a), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:34 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG, kitten broke my headphones. She chewed through the wire! Am I going to have to kittenproof my whole setup somehow?

I would love to go crazy insane spending all day in the apartment.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Kittens will do that. They will also scratch up your couch.

I want a kitten.

I think it was my trip home last night that made me all crazy (or at least extra crazy). I also woke up in the middle of the night and swore Pepper was dead. She was sleeping beside me, but I couldn't see her breathing. When I touched her she felt stiff and kind of cold and I totally freaked. I was about to wake up Nick when I pet her again and she started purring really loudly.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:08 (seventeen years ago) link

This was probably also a result of the dead cat in the movie we watched.

I'm bored. Talk to me.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I expect my kittens to be decorous and well-behaved.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:12 (seventeen years ago) link

i forgot my carmex at home for the second consecutive day. my lips are chapped beyond reason. i'm going to make some tea now.

You can put honey on the lips, actually. It's hydrophillic.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:15 (seventeen years ago) link

i also didn't bring my honey to work today.

― chicago kevin is back in a new york groove (chicago kevin), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:19 (seventeen years ago) link

you never bring me your honey

― Bodhisattva, let me take you by the hand (kenan), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm having hot chocolate and an orange.

Man, that snow sure is coming down.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh well, I just said because sometimes office kitchens have honey? Or delis have it in little packets? Tho I guess if you were at a deli you could just buy some more Carmex.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Happy Valentine's Day. Kr said last week that V Day is totally not a big deal to her and she's not expecting roses and chocolates and all of that, but she did say "well maybe we can still do something nice," and I said "sure." And so I just thought that that meant that we'd go out after Lost and get dessert/wine somewhere. But now it turns out that she is making dinner for me, and then reserved us tickets to see a show at IO, and I didn't realize that she was going out of her way to do things FOR ME, instead of us just doing something mutually and spontaneously, and so now I'm feeling vaguely guilty, since I haven't done anything for her.

Dennis Kucinich? Hastert? Miller?

If you drink too often, then the rest of CHILX are incorrigible raging alcoholics.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:23 (seventeen years ago) link

kucinich.

Maybe you could remember it because squeegees are icons of NYC street life, and there was no better chronicler of NYC street life than...

Madd1e sent me this for a VD card.

xp Ha.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I do not want a vd card, or anything related to vd at all.

― Bodhisattva, let me take you by the hand (kenan), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:28 (seventeen years ago) link

John, You have all day to think of something. Or hey, what if you planned a surprise of some sort for her for some other day when she least expected it? Or you could offer to pay her back for the tickets...

Jordan, Is it ok that I found that hilarious?

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:29 (seventeen years ago) link

It's ok, I found it pretty hilarious too.

Or you could offer to pay her back for the tickets...

I don't think this would work.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Or hey, what if you planned a surprise of some sort for her for some other day when she least expected it?

I told her I'd make it up to her.

The tickets were $5 each. It would seem petty.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyway, I'll think of something. I don't want to turn this into a big old debate about what I should do.

I have always had a pretty huge fear of getting addicted to something, especially due to extended family history. I was fiercely self-righteous growing up when it came to alot of things and it's taking me a very long time to calm the fuck down about them. So I apologize for coming off as a bitch sometimes.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:35 (seventeen years ago) link

gimme whatever.

My Saturday afternoon:

Smoked Rattlesnake Sausage with Blueberry-Port Sauce and Smoked Gouda Cheese
- $7.50

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan - real rattlesnake??

What is IO, by the way?

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

formerly improv olympics.

― chicago kevin is back in a new york groove (chicago kevin), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:38 (seventeen years ago) link

until the international olympic organization threatened to sue them into oblivion.

― chicago kevin is back in a new york groove (chicago kevin), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Sarah, I hope so!

(it's on the Hot Doug's menu)

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Sarah, you're not being a bitch! Sorry to sound snarky.

Yeah, IO = ImprovOlympic. We're seeing TJ and Dave, who are supposed to be the best improvisers in the city, according to my improv friends. We tried to go a couple months ago but didn't realize it was something that routinely sold out, so we were turned away at the box office.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

So I apologize for coming off as a bitch sometimes.

when has this happened, ever?

― Bodhisattva, let me take you by the hand (kenan), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

ok, serious question: "Cut loose like a deuce" vs. "Wrapped up like a douche"?
