the stick it in the ass thing worked, i guess.

sarah is:

: you're getting MARRIED?

margret, you've been keeping secrets from us?

that is so wrong. it's just wrong.

i'll come to your wedding though. are you sure you want us to crash it? that might make for one very bizarre and surreal wedding.

1/19/2000, 1:44 PM
margret is:

: Actually, you wouldn't be crashing.
You would be invited guests.
And, umm, if things go as I have visualised, the more the merrier.
50 people with torches is way more impressive than 20 people with torches.
It isn't a secret.
We told his parents at Christmas time.

Skooter is:

: Slacking.....my band "Queen Bee" is playing unplugged tonight, so I'm looking forward to that. Also, in despair and anticapation of the next musical revolution....Fuck, popular music is soooo banal, I think I might go throw up. I want to shoot the guy who creates all these boy bands right up the azz with a missle launcher.

: eating a mcdonald's cajun chicken sandwich.

you know, i thought 'cajun' would imply some sort of heat.

my coke is spicier.

patrick is:

: listening to....

a-ba, naa-nga MAPO
a-ni nono to, ine to, ye to
oto si, bu-i-bu mu
a-ba, naa-nga MAPO
a-ba naa-nga MAPO

these are actually the lyrics, I cannot translate the rest and this seems to be the only english printed on the insert. This is a strange CD. I think it's Japanese new age pop or something like that.

I also have Kiyoshi Yoshida, Asian Drums in the que....and Mozart's Missa Solemnis "Waisenhausmesse"

the Mozart was a gift from very short Irish guy in a bar, he was fond of us and called me black Irish becasue of my tan skin. I said it's due to my Lebanese hereitage. Nonetheless, he said when his father died, he ws left with all of these Mozart cd's and was instructed to give them to people he felt worthy. We were worthy I suppose, but I thought we were just being friendly.

The Japanese stuff came from my wife's co-worker. One of them even came with an incense stick inside.

: Margret's getting married in August? In New Mexico? Outside? Some of us may melt, but we'll still come.

Congrats, pal!

: thinkin' I need to look at that jar of peanut butter in the pantry when I get home. The nastiest peanut butter I have ever had is Reeses, which shouldn't be the case, but is.

Btw... congrats to Margaret. Where are you registered? *g*

Gee is:

: I lost control at eBay. I didn't spend a massive amount of money (surely no where even Near a hundred bucks) but I just kept bidding on stuff. My theory is People will buy Anything for a dollar.

oh well.

1/20/2000, 10:42 AM
nate is:

: last time i lost control at eBay it got nasty.

i had to shank some people.

i have two interviews on deck. i'm actually going to study for one of them, because i told them upfront that i wouldn't leave this company for anything less than +40% of what i'm making. (i gave them the figure, didn't compare it to what I'm currently pulling.)

they still want to interview me, so carpe testes.

this shit gives me a boner.

1/20/2000, 11:52 AM
margret is:

: I have to admit to total confusion about how eBay works. I went there once and looked at some pictures of some stuff. It was ok. I guess if I wanted any of it I might have figured out what the fuck was going on. I AM interested in purchasing zebra striped business suits and accessories, both pants and skirts style. Anyone sees anything like that, let me know. I think I may have to learn to use a sewing machine, though.

1/20/2000, 1:09 PM
semillama is:

: writing reports. My slacker office mates took the day off because they came in Monday when they didn't have to. I have too much to do to be able to get away with that stuff.

margret - Could you get a white business suit and dye half of it with black stripes? Or get a black suit, cover the parts you want black with wax, and bleach it?

nelly is:

: sorting unknowns into piles of probability.

Mark's hair color is so interesting. at times it's really sandy looking and then other times it's pretty dark. I have witnessed this with my own eyes. it depends on the lighting. or could it be his inner mood? the shampoo he uses? how many hours since the last shower? the smog level that day? the background radiation level? nearness to spiritual perfection? number of lemons consumed in the past week?

1/20/2000, 6:06 PM
TBone is:

: Recovering. I was near Bonk. That state where a combination of lack of Sleep, lack of Calories, and lack of Caffiene all hit at once, reducing one to a helpless pile of goo.

I have caffeine, I have sugars, and I have mental stimulation.

I'm saved.

: I am sitting, listening to Beck. My left hand scratches my right hip underneath my sweatpants. I am shaking the flu. I am looking for a place like this where I can exude my own weirdness on the masses.

semillama is:

: listening to johan de Meij's Symphony no. 1 "The Lord of the Rings". Ineed to tell my brother to stop buying me rock albums for my birthday and to get me stuff like this. He's the one who gave me this copy after we listened to his on the way up for xmas. I kep trying to tell him, if you are going to get me music, get me something classical or jazz that you think is really important or significant, 'cause I know he knows that shit like nobody's business.

Daniel SSSS. is:

: noticing that there's two of us Daniel's here. I'm the one the the Addictions.net website, not the band Addiction whose website is Addiction.net, I'm the one with the S.net, like my name, my name is Daniel S. So I guess that simplifies things, huh? Sarah, you go gurl on them thar creative writing assignments. Let me know what or if. Liked your Michigan hand made blankies on garage sale couches image. You a good writer, you know? Email me sometime this w/e if not too busy w/guest. Yeah, I still wonder who we all are and what we all do and why we do it.Don't know the answers but I like "here" nonetheless. No peanut butter tonight, good.

perhaps, even, a bird with a top hat, upsidedown.

I swear to god! Look!
This is something new you've never heard before this
You better take a good look at your mind, fucker
I know what you want to come here for
You better take a good look at your mind, fucker

Don't quiver little boy, your daddy's with you now
It won't be long anyhow
It's just around the corner
The destiny that I embrace with you

Don't get too close to my fantasy
Don't be afraid to clutch the hand of your creator
Stare into the lion's eyes and if you taste the candy
You'll get to the surprise

Stay calm little dreamer and drift off into dreams
The gentle kiss of night is better than it seems
It's just around the corner
Close your eyes and soon you'll be with me

Don't get too close to my fantasy
Don't be afraid to clutch the hand of your creator
Stare into the lion's eyes and if you taste the candy
You'll get to the surprise

oh my, it's going to be one of those days.

this morning i had a dream about the end of my time here. it involved my explosion when cornered for too long by the boss. then it involved me running around this giant party trying to gather evidence of my innocence before THEY destroyed it.

i am paranoid. i am bi-polar. i am more smartest than most people i know. i am cynical. i am arrogant. i am faking it.

all along.

"All one reallly does need is a warm place, food, drink, smoke, a cat, and a book. Right on."

"All one reallly does need is a warm place, food, drink, smoke, a cat, and a book. Right on."

"All one reallly does need is a warm place, food, drink, smoke, a cat, and a book. Right on."

and there he is and the bed looks like sex and though i uncorked the bottle i don't want my wishes someone help me send the jini home.

sarah is:

: good morning sunshine! didn't you know the sun is bi-polar too? only not cynical, because it knows its place in the universe.

ouch.

well, anyway, i'm on my way to an interview for a writing job. please think one good thought for me.

daniel, thanks for your kind words. just the right thing to hear on this occassion.

simon is:

: enjoying one of my last four-day weeks.

My soon-to-be-ex-boss is shattered. His champion has left him for a lower paying job with longer hours and there will be nobody to take up the torch for a long time.

At a staff meeting yesterday he mentioned the possibility to my new boss of "borrowing" my services in the interim. She eloquently replied with the executive equivalent of "nyeah, nyeah!"

Meanwhile I'm going to put together a flyer for him listing my consultation fees. Safety and environmental consultants don't come cheap these days.

TBone is:

: Speaking of EcoWarriors...

A friend of mine had just read Zodiak by Neal Stephenson (an eco-thriller) and was wandering Europe. There were lots of Greenpeace recruiters. Having just read the book, he was in the mode still... And he really wanted to ride in a zodiak.

He would have joined on the spot if they had given him a tshirt.

But they wouldn't.
