Sure did! Couldn't go too esoteric on everyone (had to cover an age range from 14 to 92 including mainstream, baby boomer, and the odd drone rocker or three). The full track list is on one of the wedding music threads.

I must say that prisons are very plush these days. But remember that you may be shunned by certain sections of society, as you have a criminal (Tom Jones) record...

Bye guys :)

StanM, Saturday, 2 August 2008 16:34 (sixteen years ago) link

YEAH that so didn't happen. Guy who was occupying the room I'm moving into is in there and still asleep (sort of a shifting space thing going on), hadn't moved a thing, which is ridiculous because he's known the specific plans for a week and was reminded again yesterday of the situation, a bunch of garbage is blocking his (MY) door, broken window down the hall, grate thingy ripped off the chimney and thrown off the roof, and when another roommate woke told him I was "moving in right now" he goes, "Now? Yeah I work today" and goes back to sleep.

So 3/4 of my stuff is just strewn about the house and there's a going away party for another friend of ours there tonight.

I've ponied up rent and he hasn't.

I was actually supposed to move in LAST weekend but there was pretty much a similar version of what just went down, minus the stuff broken, and my things weren't all packed up and waiting in a car outside. It's been known I was moving in for months and when we try to plan it nice and neat-like when the time came, then this fucking shit.

</vent> Gyah.

Edward III, Friday, 29 August 2008 16:22 (sixteen years ago) link

in a MINUTE

rrrobyn this is a quote from hairscoop.com:

" A girlfriend of mine, who models professionally, has hair that expands exponentially in the presence of any humidity- so you can imagine the reaction it had to New Orleans, where she was on location for a recent photo shoot. Taming her tresses was a challenge for the entire hair team, who tried every prestige product available with little success. As soon as she'd step outside and onto set, her hair would take on a life of its own. That is, until she introduced them to her secret weapon...

When she first told me about White Rain's amazing anti-humidity hold, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. How could it be better than my beloved luxury sprays and serums? But it is, and I've been converted. I now rely on White Rain whenever NYC's muggy weather proves to be too much for my (naturally curly) locks. "

wow, im sold

Dumb question but have you tried straightening irons?

Autumn Almanac, Friday, 29 August 2008 21:29 (sixteen years ago) link

i believe this is not abt straightening hair but abt keeping it non-poofy/frizzy/exponentially increasing o_O
also, the straightening irons, they do nothing (that lasts longer than 2 hrs)

rrrobyn, Friday, 29 August 2008 22:08 (sixteen years ago) link

i found a scribbled note in an old diary of mine: "boys call flat-irons a 'hair straighteners'"

and yes, this is about keeping hair from becoming increasingly o_O (love this phrase) AFTER straightening. immediately after styling my hair it looks perfectly stick- or norwegian-straight (RIYL: the hair of Fenriz), get me south of georgia or in front of any >5 watt lightbulb and i become sideshow bob

The warm glow of the wonderous Jaq's epic vinyl collection. Do you have any of that guitarist from Hee-Haw?

Did you dye yr hair brown, Jaq? I like how it's looking.

Abbott, Sunday, 31 August 2008 17:41 (sixteen years ago) link

Alas Abbott, there is no Roy Clark amongst all that vinyl, but there is some Buck Owens. Hairs are currently fading out of something known as Golden Bay (med auburn).

Blueski looks underwater. And anatol_merklich, you are looking intently happy with that fire there.
