Sorry. Like I said, I heard it an awful lot.
YSI, my peeps.
though somewhat more “punk” than us
Which is why I will be coming just for you guyz. :-D
I believe you mean “WAMP WAMP.”
Oooh, my thug pronunciation needs some work. Please Frosty don’t hurt me!
(And BTW, I don’t need any more incentive to come see you guys play, although I do like teh punk bands. This is totally coming down to my relationship with the amount of money spent, beer consumed, and sleep missed this past weekend.)
It’s nice having a new boss. She likes my stuff, and doesn’t understand why it doesn’t get used. Which is what I want to know, too!

lemme know if this works...it’s a few days old now
ooh... can we YSI in the sandbox?
shh
thanks!
glasnost!
D/Led for irony’s sake, if nothing else. Thank’ye!
Jordan — do you have the whole Clipse record now?
Yeah and I’m into it. I like how mnml the beats are. Any one of them coming from the Neptunes might be disappointing (except for Wamp Wamp), but as a consistent sound for the record it’s serious.
I don’t think it’s loud and obnoxious, though I do like loud and obnoxious rap.
(I love Wamp Wamp)
i just ordered the three seasons of arrested development on a whim.
they were on sale.
That was the right thing to do.
I firmly support you in that difficult decision.
That’s more than on sale.
yeah. i’m very happy.
Holy crap.
That just took care of a couple holiday gifts for me.
nice!
i am GIDDY over having just acquired that for myself for SO CHEAP.
Oh, excellent, Jordan. That’s a fine idea. If I wasn’t flat broke again.
Shit. How can I NOT buy it at that price? I feel bad because I was party to Courtney’s buy Season 3 at Borders for around $20-some. Fuck. I’m trying to stick to a budget. Fuck.
OK, I am not going to buy it. But I better get off the internet before its siren song gets to me.
5 minutes left....
thank you julia! i just got me some xmas gifts!
OK. It was still there after midnight, and I remembered that I had some Amazon GC credit on my account, so the complete set of AD is now mine, and my conscience is pretty clear.
Thanks, Julia, and I too support your decision.
Also: fuck you, FOX.
joy = spread
Good morning, starshines. The earth says WASSSSUUUPPP?!?!?!?!?
dan, you missed a very fine fake fictions show last night. i tried (in vain) to explain to nick why despite a few bumps it was my favorite ff show and now that i’m sober i think it comes down to focus. it was a very focused set and i liked it.
$1.25 beers never hurt either.
You mean like how Nick managed to unplug his guitar in one song and lose his strap in another or how one of our friends described us as sounding like “..you’re about to drive off this cliff, but you have your seatbelt on..”?
I couldn’t sleep last night. I finally got myself all wide awake to play, but that required drinking lots of coke and rum & coke. So then in bed my heart was beating really fast and I felt nauseous from all the smoke.
But also, I enjoyed drinking rum & coke and look forward to Thirsty Thursday. Where are we going this time?
I couldn’t sleep either, I was too pumped up from the show. It was a blast.
I am working from home again today, whooo!
I felt nauseous from all the smoke.
sorry, that was probably all me, i was chain smoking last night. but even with those bumps i still thought it was a great set. there wasn’t one moment where i didn’t think it wasn’t totally about the music. and i’m confused by my own use of the triple negative but i thought it was great set.
You’d make a good lawyer with those kind of triple negatives.
Sarah knows it was a good show, she’s just fishing for compliments. You can ignore her.
how one of our friends described us as sounding like “..you’re about to drive off this cliff, but you have your seatbelt on..”?
I think that sounds complimentary, actually.
I GUESS I AM IGNORING NICK, EH???
Ugh, I’ve got a headache and I don’t know why. I want to go back to bed and then get up and read detective stories.
That’s good that you guys had a good show. Good shows are good.
It feels like it should be the weekend.
seriously.
10x
I’m just pushing on for December 19. December 19th it will all be over... (My last thing is actually due Dec. 20 BUT I want to go to my office Christmas party/drunken pool playing bash on the 20th so I’m pretending that the paper is actually due on the 19th so I’ll finish the stupid paper in time for drunken antics.)
Don’t ignore me! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I need attention. Also, I need some slapping to stay awake.
Empty Bottle has smoke coming out of its pores. I reek after being in there like five minutes.
I’ve come to cherish the smoking ban here.
I finally made it into the office around 10.30. Got lost in Chinatown last night, on way home from MNDC (I take a new, further away train now, and I was drunkish). Probably wasted 45 minutes being confused by angled streets and bridge lights. I have a problem with bridges, apparently.
dan, you missed a very fine fake fictions show last night.
I know, I know, I’m sorry guys, but I got home to an ice-cold apartment (our thermostat is broken now, though the furnace works) and the one of the water heaters in the basement spewing water. That necessitated a lot of landlord interaction and moving of stuff (to escape the soaking), and by the time it was done I didn’t feel like doing anything. Also, I couldn’t feel anything because my hands and toes were frozen. Getting out of bed this morning was really, really hard. It should be fixed this afternoon but wow, what a pain in the ass.
I have a problem with bridges, apparently.
...
I don’t understand. Why does she have a sad lamp? What are those good for?
People with Seasonal Affective Disorder sit under sun lamps to feel better in the winter when it’s dark and/or grey out all the time.
Yeah, I think I need one.
awesome
haha
I went on a Motorhead binge last night, because of the ILM thread.
Actually, it started out with listening to Boris, and then segued smoothly into Motorhead.
My office is now fully pimped out with 1) a slammin’ space heater and 2) a hot pot for making tons and tons of tea. I am currently enjoying blueberry rooibos and am not freezing. This rules.
Too depressed to finish biting through a piece of toast! That’s hilarious and sad all at the same time.
Amanda is this an office at home or an office elsewhere? I keep threatening to bring a coffee pot special for the library at work but then they talk about fire hazards and being thankful for the terrible free coffee and crap.
This is at eye eye tea, in my office with the gigantic windows. For some weird reason, though, my eyes are super bloodshot.
Does anyone have any good crockpot/slow cooker recipes? I have one but I’ve never used it. Maybe it would be good for red beans & rice?
Are you in that terrible red and orange student center? Being in there makes everything look kind of bloodshot.
I know I’m supposed to appreciate that for all its architectural modernity and innovation and stuff, but that much shiny red and orange and silver makes me irritable.
Jordan, it’s awesome for all-day spaghetti sauce, too. I’ll try to find my mom’s recipe if you like.
There’s the chicken and sweet potato stew that I gave Kevin the recipe for a few weeks ago.
Nah, I’m across State in another square, modern building with very large, very leaky single pane windows.
I have several wonderful crockpot recipes but my WRIST BRACE is making me too lazy to type them. I am most proud of 1) NC BBQ and 2) Ethipian-style beef stew. Both have been successful on multiple occasions.
I meant Ethiopian. DAMN WRIST CAUSING FINGERS TO MALFUNCTION.
STUPID NON-FUNCTIONAL ROBOTIC ARM.
Shit, I wish I had some spaghetti now! Good thing we’re going to business lunch soon, only food will banish this hangover. Of course then I’ll want to sleep, but at least Sleepy isn’t Queasy.
All those foodz sound delicious, but especially NC BBQ, mmmm.
Have you been to the wrist doctor yet, Amanda?
Wow, wrist brace? I guess I shouldn’t ask you too many questions on the internet, but did you go to a doc? Do you have a RSI?
I think I have the BBQ recipe in my sent items from when I sent it to Jefferooni so if you’re interested, Jordan, I can post or email it.
I guess that answers that question.
Going to doc on Friday. :(
I can email you the bbq recipe. It’s crazy easy and right up your alley.
post them, both of you, please.
thank you.
FOR THE RECORD: I just checked my gmail and I had already emailed Jordan the bbq recipe months ago. Ha.
You can all peep my red hot wrist brace on Thursday at OLD Timerz.
BBQ posted to blog!
whatwhere blog?
Did you ever make the chili?
chilx blogspot com
easier to check than these infernally long threads
chili = no, i went to jewel on thanksgiving day (note to self, NEVER DO THAT AGAIN) and bought all the ingredients. then when i was opening a can of beans so i’d having something to put the grease from the ground beef in i realized i forgot to get the ground beef so i drank beer and watched football instead.
i still have everything though i’ll need to buy more celery and an onion.
rub all over the meat, like you like it:
i stopped reading after this.
Kevin, did you get your heater yesterday? I meant to ask you at the (awesome!) FFs show.
I think I forgot to wear deodorant today.
no, something suddenly came up (props to greg brady).
I think I forgot to wear deodorant today.
what’s distressing to me is that my old spice segues so perfectly into my own musky funk that i can’t tell when my deodorant has stopped working. i’ll have to take a whiff and think “is that more b.o. or carrot cake? carrot cake? then it’s old spice.”
i should go back to the fresh scent, then i’d know for sure.
TS: Deodorant stains on your shirt vs. Toothpaste stains on your shirt
holy shit, mission of burma is playing the double door the night after my birthday! BUYIN’ MYSELF A PRESENT!!!
That Arrested Development set is up to over $50. This shit is like the stock market.
I want to make the bbq this weekend, I just need to get the purrk and the “apple cider vinegar”.
xpost, oh and thanks, that reminds me that I ran out of deoderant this morning
Yeah, I use some all natural hippie shit that also blends into my own funk so it’s hard to tell. I might be smelling the Free Terrible Coffee. Or I might be smelling myself exuding the smell of Free Terrible Coffee, Expensive Coffee of Variable Quality Depending on Where I Buy It, and Decent Coffee that I Make at Home, all of which I have been consuming in mass quantities lately.
Deodorant stains on your shirt: If you mean the white streaks that can happen if you don’t employ the roll-and-duck method of putting on a shirt, you can usually wipe those off with a damp towel. Toothpaste stains can ruin my day, however.
roll-and-duck?
roll up yr shirt duck yr head into it.
How about the white stains that come from sweating like a hog? I think those are permanent. I ruined so many good t-shirts before finally breaking down and starting to wear undershirts. :(
i haven’t worn deodorant since....10th grade?
HIPPIE
j/k, wish I was fragrant enough to get away with that.
i’m on a strict all-lilac diet, when i sweat it smells like a fuckin’ greenhouse in the spring.
Kevin is correct! You roll up the bottom of the shirt so you’re putting on a crop-top with sleeves. When you put it on, your armpits only touch the inside of the shirt. Then you duck your head in and carefully put your arms into the sleeves. It’s not fool-proof, but it minimizes the damage.
I am in close proximity to too many people who would judge me for stinkin’ to even attempt to stop wearing deodorant. I do pretty well with the all natural kind, unless it’s super duper hot. Then I have to pull out the big guns, especially if I’m wearing a suit or man-made fiber shirt.
The deoderant/anti-perspirant thing is interesting. I don’t mind smelling like myself and I use unscented Tom’s stuff anyway, but there’s no question of when the acrid BO has taken over, usually as a result of being cold or nervous or the constriction of tight sleeves. I don’t understand how people could not tell...? Oh well, people in being different SHOCKAH.
For the record, I use Dove deoderant.
Horseshoe, I suck for not remembering your name last night.
Hmmm... human-made fiber? unnatural fiber? faux-fiber? What’s a good gender-neutral term for that?
