Awesome dog.
I claim 600.
Friday! I am being so virtuous this afternoon. I’m going to make cookies and work on balancing the checkbooks from the three liquor stores. And maybe I’ll clean a bathroom, too!
CURRY: EATEN
PRINTER: NOT WORKING
DAUGHTER: DRIVING ME CRAZY
ALSO: NOW CRAVING CURRY
Hope you’re enjoying yourself, gbx!
Who’s doing things for this celebratoryness?
Because I have no plans, and otherwise Alex and I are just going to drink scotch alone.
i am drinking beer alone, and couldnt be more pleased.
I don’t feel like remembering the last night of this year.
I’m going to my friend Kir’s house with A. and the kids; we’re going to drink champagne (well, not the kids) and hang out. Sadly, my friend M4rn had to go back home today, or otherwise I’d likely be at her usual annual party... but not happening this year.
It should be fun... but someday I’m going to be able to go out again on New Year’s Eve. Without the kids.
BTW, you have half an hour for booze buying left, since MN liquor stores won’t be open tomorrow. Just in case anyone has forgotten. ;)
Annnnnd... Happy New Year to all HSTNGS Thread types! (a bit early, but what the heck)
Change of pllans here:
Most likely going to watch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohaku_utagassen at someone’s house with other people and probably japanese booze.
I expect to drink to the point of immobilization. GOOD TIMES!
Also, where the fuck is this global warming shit when you really needed it? Driving is teh suck today.
I cannot allow myself to get that drunk.
If I did, I’d wake up with no smokes left, already singing ‘Bleeder.’
Weather has made me decide to sit at home and play video games, losing my mind.
Happy 2007 HSTNGS Thread!
And to you, Sara!
Have now captured for eternity a photo of my dog posting to the HSTINGS thread.
dceccfmngm, m,
^and so says Willie. I think it means “I am far too noble for this bullshit. Get me the FECK away from this computer.”^
Yay, can’t wait to see the picture! How much prime rib did you have to go through to get the perfect shot?
None this time. Today I have mostly been attending to his emotional and outdoor needs. He’s been out in the snow half of the morning “helping” me shovel my mom out, which makes him very happy. Now he’s growl-barking at an unauthorised canine street intruder. He takes the task VERY seriously—next door there is a Bichon Frisé and when we come home from dining out or whatever each dog’s barking head is visible above the windowsill.
Willie has everything he needs to be happy—including a nemesis!
Horror of horrors.
When I applied for my passport, I found out my mother was born in Hastings.
FATES OF DOOM.
The entanglements go deep, clearly...
No, Sara, it’s actually his “girlfriend” Max.
Awwwwww... “Lady and the Tramp III...”—although that doesn’t quite work with a poodle and a bichon frise (sp?!), does it...
WHAT TEH COCAINE BULLSHIT IS THAT?
I wonder if putting my head in a clamp would make me feel better about this ‘no smoking in the middle of the night’ rule I made for myself.
Hmmm, is that your New Year’s resolution?
I thought I’d do something easy and make sure to take a multivitamin every day. I pulled them out of the cupboard yesterday—expired! I took one anyway, though. What the hell.
Expired vitamin=lower nutritional value. That’s all.
It’s not quite a new years resolution as a realisation that my body was too diseased to keep smoking, and it wasn’t fun any more.
4 puffs every two hours.
No smoking in the car.
No smoking when I wake up unless I plan on staying that way.
I accidentally smoked in my car once, but stuck to the 4 puff rule.
Once these rules no longer feel like torture or this pack is out(Hayamonokachi) I’ll start taking this new drug that makes nicottene not enter your system while reducing cravings.
I figured that about the vitamins, and better something than nothing, right? I need to buy vitamins that I don’t avoid taking. Back to the Flintstones chewables, I guess.
Good luck with the smoking reduction/stopping. I imagine it’s not fun.
the-gzeus.livejournal.com
That’s what it’s like.
Ugh, that doesn’t sound good. Hang in there.
In other news, HSTNGS Thread still without picture of Willie the Poodle! suzy, have you been kidnapped by snow aliens?
I can at least keep it together around people or when I’m busy.
I stopped by my old Primerica office to see some of the old folks I worked with.
I’m glad to see most of them are still around.
Staying busy, is, I swear, the secret to everything.
Primerica. You don’t know T0dd 0’H4ll0r4n, do you? (Also—Hastings connection there.)
No, I’ve been off interviewing K. Ellison and watching his sendoff to Congress. Don’t have the doohickey to put pics into pooter so no online poodling until I’m back in LDN.
I also spent $100 in about 30 seconds at the Kiehl’s counter at Nordstrom today...
I don’t think there was a T0dd of that name at my office(Woodbury).
John, The Severed Heads stuff need to be obtained by you, so I should go to John Home some time this week or next with hard drives and things.
I might talk to you tomorrow at 3clipse, but not if youre in the midst of horrors of Inventories.
suzy—how cool! It sounds like you have been having fun. Sooooo jealous about the Kiehl’s counter. Supposed to be fabulous. Beyond that, I know nothing about it. Recent obsession: the MAC counter. And the MAC store... looking forward to seeing Willie soon.
I don’t know what office T0dd 0. worked at. Possible he gave it, not sure there.
January inventory for John. Ugh. It’s sad to say that I prefer dealing with Quicken and the crazy mistakes one of my Dad’s managers consistently makes.
MAC is good makeup.
And far too expensive if anything remotely comperable is available.
I used to wear a dark silver lipstick from there in my gothlinger days.
Everything else was cheap. Almay one-coat mascara(RULES) CoverGirl eyeliner(Easy to use, otherwise it FUCKING SUCKS).
I was pale enough that dying my hair and eyebrows black made me look downright BLUE.
MAC lipstick = everyday necessity. $14/tube is not that bad. I say this as a former Lancome user, though. (MAC gloss, lip liner, and eyeshadow, also awesome).
Did you want to look blue?
Gothlinger=yes.
I evnetually started intentionally ‘tanning.’
AKA driving in a convertable with my shirt off because it’s hot.
Now I just don’t care.
Reviving for the convenience of all.
lolz, ILX
So confusing.
The Mall of America is exhausting, btw. IN CASE THIS IS NEWS.
Les exhausting on tuesday nights.
it’s somehow related to kids, so people are afraid and don’t go there.
It’s decayed, though. Which makes me happy.
Usually a weekend afternoon in winter is the last time I’ll agree to go to MOA, but my parents wanted to take us out for lunch, and that’s where they wanted to go. I’ll put up with tons of people for free food.
But yeah, weeknights are much better. You don’t have to wait a half hour just to get help finding a lipstick at the MAC store. (grumble grumble)
‘Tim and Eric Awesome Show; Great Job!’ is in fact both of those things.
A. wanted to know if any of you HSTNGS thread dwellers had heard of a band called Maldroid. Here is the video he was watching that has him hooked (the video has lots of LITE BRITE!):
Yay lite brite.
4l3x has a Lite Brite cube. It’s so fun to play with! (He also has... do you call it a Spirograph? I can’t remember, but it is definitely something that was available when we were kids.)
J. is finally getting old enough to play with fun toys. THANKFULLY.
I hate sandbox ILX.
It’s as if all the people searching for a place to whine make their way over here, and hardly any of the good ones do. (Ahem, present company excepted.)
Chin up, John. We can entertain ourselves by coming up with new nicknames for you. I propose “Tofu.”
The tofu might be the reason for all the frail, wispy people.
I’m frail and wispy everywhere but where it might cause problems on my wedding night. You know, my penis?
Does tofu attract wispy types? Someone commission a study AT ONCE.
it results IN wispy if they exercise as much as most americans.
“Gee, my body is developing only things that it uses. I’m shrinking!”
“it’s like knock-knock who’s there—peas.” http://embed.break.com/MjIxNTc2
I don’t like finding that music I payed for is in fact ‘mastered’ from old vinyl.
Especially when it’s been remastered.
i’m not normally a fan of the whole remastering thing, but if the alternative is something this poorly done(channels fading in and out despite obvious compression, flutter, jitter...)
Guess waht i didn’t want to notice:
When my hair is parted on the side I resemble the singer of XiuXiu.
yaaaaaayno.
Wow, have I ever got a picture for you...
hahaha
I do not know your penis. way-xpost
lol
I guarantee that’s the image I didn’t want in my head at all.
But that’s where it appeared.
It’s like knockknockwhostheretrickortreathorse.
Also, Rapeman doesn’t sound pleasant through laptop speakers.
implied fundamental only goes so far.
Anyone else noticed that every time ilx turns to the sandbox and returns it gets more retarded?
It doesn’t bother me so much, but it’s not as interesting. The good side is that because there are fewer threads to randomly run across and have to read, I am getting more studying and housekeeping done. (Or possibly just more napping and socializing, but whatever.)
Wuthering Heights is something I’m taking very slowly. A chapter a day, followed by manga or just sitting with music.
Vampires Eat Christians.
I remember nothing about reading Wuthering Heights. I’m slowly working through my physiology book. This is seriously the weirdest science class I’ve ever had (which is saying something, believe me).
Okay, I have not done laundry for two days because I was out of the house too much. Next 24 hours are all about clean underwear.
That reminds me, one sermon I liked back in the day was based around the idea “God only punishes his own children.”
Years later I was somehow not a follower but a believer and kept thinking “I’ve gotta get this damn holy spirit out of my body! it’s fucking with me!”
Organised religions, particularly ones that deny the validity of alternatives, are insane/for the insane.
My schizo-affective friend? Christian...who writes comedy-rap about necrophilia and zombies.
David Tibet(wikipedia Current 93, folks) has done the logical extreme with any polar concept(go far enough left and you’ll find yourself sitting next to the far right, vice versa) and gone from Crowley-esque pseudo-satanism to Catholicism.
The other side of that coin is David Eugene Edwards, singer of The Woven Hand and Sixteen Horsepower. His music is so devout that it’s terrifying.
Physiology sounds interesting. However, if it’s anything like anatomy...it isn’t.
Anatomy = Structure; Physiology = Function. It’s more complicated, but more interesting. Plus lab is (so far) a lot easier. (Ha, except we had to run up flights of stairs tonight; some of us were wearing heels or boots). Oh yeah, and the animal phys class I took at Olaf was awful; particularly the lab where we were asked to pith frogs. There are a few things I just can’t do.
I have the choice between Biomedical Ethics and Christian Ethics next term. Guess which one I’m taking...
I’m willing to admit that I’m prejudiced against certain people.
Christians are at the top of that list by faaaar.
Japanese language group, native american dude shows up, says he went to japan as a ‘Senkyoushi.’
I was like “I think i know what that means, but I don’t remember at all.”
He said something about a church.
“Oh a missionary...”*feigns interest, long pause, contunies conversation with the transexual sitting next to him*
The thing that irritates me about it is that my interpretation of what Christianity should be is so far removed from what it is. Also, I was raised Catholic and what has happened in that church over the past two decades just makes me angry. Social justice is now <<<< right wing ideology. (Unless you count pro-life extremism as social justice).
Anyway,
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY HASTINGS THREAD!
I send you all KISS-O-GRAMS.
OMG COOTIES
OH MY, GOD COOTIES????
OH, MY GOD COOTIES. THERE THEY ARE.
Not only cooties but GIRL GERMS!!!
OK, this is getting obscene.
Guys, I have a suggestion:
RUN AWAY FROM THIS BOARD.
Speaking of GGGGGGGGG GIRL GERMS! Brother and Sister are playing at Big Vs(I think...or was it the turf) tonight.
Due to 1. lack of ability to find any babysitter at all since early January and 2. A. being on day TWELVE of having influenza (don’t worry, he’s getting better slowly), we will be staying in tonight. We’ll probably watch LOST, though.
Dan and FB, I never knew how easy you were to scare away!
Is there some sort of ILX meldown going on right now?
Yes.
I don’t know; I’ve been napping! (seriously)
Dan, do you want to narrate, or would it be easier to just look over the New Answers board and draw conclusions from there?
Read “Dear ILE—a plea” if you feel like it, where the highlight is a poster who is obsessed with image over substance calling me homophobic for unkindly pointing out that he’s more obsessed with image than substance on a Beyonce thread on ILM.
I recommend NOT reading it, BTW.
So hard for me to remain off that psycho “ILE HAS STRUCK THE ICEBERG WAHT WILL WE DO!” thread, but I’m doing my best.
xpost
Highlights: Balkanization of regional threads due to desire to be in a safe place where one won’t be insulted. HSTNGS THRD apparently unread by ILE.
FB, you smell like dirty balls.
DO YOU SEE?
Thanks for summary guys!
I’m laughing at this: desire to be in a safe place where one won’t be insulted. It’s like the opposite of Hastings Thread!
Sidenote: one of the women in my class said something last semester that was affectionately insulting, but then got all worried that I would be offended. I was completely taken aback by this. I think I said, “obviously, you did not grow up in Hastings!”
Jesus, I want my time back. I lost track of most of the arguments on that thread and my eyes started rolling back in my head.
Dan, I have no idea what that guy is talking about and neither does he.
John, I’m pretty much the same way w/r/t plea thread, but as a relative noob with a small click and some scattered acquaintances on the board, I would feel like I was stepping in between the drunk uncle and the schizophrenic cousin at a large dysfunctional family reunion. Everybody’s red-eyed and the vibes are all weird. The rational people are getting spooked and making light, conciliatory jokes and reasonable counterpoints and the oldsters are grousing about the good-ole-days.
AND THERE IS NO JELLO SALAD I WANT TO SEE SOME SHIT SUSPENDED IN LIME JELLO OMG I WANT GOULASH AND PASTA SALADS AND COCTAIL WEENIES IN BBQ SAUCE OOH HAM ROLLS
Also, you are all fucktards that smell like your heads are stinky fucktards.
I’m not going to read it; also, Dan you are one of the least homophobic people I know. (Now I’m done saying nice things about you.)
FB I will make lime jello for you and suspend grated carrots in it. You have to eat all of it, though.
Why do you all smell like goats?
Probably because I hang out with FB a lot, and he is a goat-fucker.
John is king of TMI for the day.
JJ and logic:2
DP:0
Probably because I hang out with FB a lot, and he is a goat-fucker.

You fuck John’s mom one time...
nicely done.
