I am thinking I really don't give a shit.

THANK GOD.
May I buy you a cocktail?

"Twooooooo Weeeeeeeeeeeeks"

― JD Roth (phil-two), Monday, 1 September 2003 06:55 (twenty years ago) link

I do not know what your problem is, but you are being unnecessarily obnoxious. Perhaps I should follow *you* around ILE and post obnoxious things after everything you post? Would you like that? If you have some kind of problem with me, then get it off your chest. Otherwise knock off this chickenshit bullshit harassment.

I'm thinking I ain't drunk enough . . .

I want to feed Kingfish some s'mores

I want to play a couple of Boys Named Sue some sweet gangsta rap

i want a boy in Kentucky to be spending a rainy night with me in the EDT instead. . .

but none of these fine men are here with me now. Tomorrow's a holiday and all I have is love mix CDs I've made for Ally-zay and Millar and my toys. And the pouring, tropical storm rain. How sad.

Christ, there's a yellowjacket directly outside my door that's as long as my little finger and as thick as a Magic Marker. It's enormous. I didn't think stinging insects got that big outside the tropics. I think my first glance at it is probably the most frightening thing I've seen in my life. I keep paranoically, nonsensically, brushing the backs of my legs to make sure it didn't jump on me on my way in the door, the better to burrow its stinger into me and enslave me for the queen!

send cookies.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 1 September 2003 15:09 (twenty years ago) link

I can't, YELLOWJACKET WILL EAT ME!

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 1 September 2003 15:11 (twenty years ago) link

ugggg, too many cookies

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 1 September 2003 15:22 (twenty years ago) link

That reminds me of last night's Futurama. (the yellowjacket stuff)

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 1 September 2003 15:23 (twenty years ago) link

Why am I awake? Sleeping without sheets on the bed isn't so bad sometimes. I wonder if my dad's happier being in Brandon? I wish I had Pop Tarts. Sure don't feel like doing anything today! Gotta go watch the Ararat tape I rented the other night. Why the fuck didn't I get more beer yesterday? Some of the books I have in my piles here are a riot! Guerin's "Fascism and Big Business"; John Kenneth Galbraith's "The Age of Uncertainty"! FUCK! Why am I so down when I'm surrounded by all this funny shit? Is anyone gonna shave today? I'm a blathering moran sometimes.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 1 September 2003 15:25 (twenty years ago) link

Mm, headache.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 1 September 2003 15:27 (twenty years ago) link

I think I'm glad I didn't see last night's Futurama..

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 1 September 2003 15:36 (twenty years ago) link

The yellowjacket crawled underneath the sidewalk! Are yellowjackets the one that build underground nests? Is there a colony of mutant yellowjackets living beneath me?

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 1 September 2003 15:46 (twenty years ago) link

Tep that whole incident terrifies me so much.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Monday, 1 September 2003 15:51 (twenty years ago) link

Terrifies you? I'm the one who still has to go back out there to get the laundry out of the dryer!

I'm normally not bothered by insects when they're outdoors, since I realized they don't actually get off on stinging me, but geez.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 1 September 2003 15:55 (twenty years ago) link

Laughing so hard I can't stop. I wonder if you can follow 5 people around the boards at a time.

wah wah wah waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

― Carey (Carey), Monday, 1 September 2003 16:00 (twenty years ago) link

I'm thinking "Wow, zebedee's good at this Premiership Predictions thing, isn't he?"

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 1 September 2003 16:01 (twenty years ago) link

I'm really phobic about flying stinging insects, Tep--like irrationally terrified of them due to childhood experiences--so I guess I'm scared on your behalf!

― s1utsky (slutsky), Monday, 1 September 2003 16:09 (twenty years ago) link

C/D: losing a person on the lease becuase their too fuckin' neurotic and tightly wound to accept that other people may just have differing standards of cleanliness

I have Spanish class in two hours, and I'm sitting here trying to figure out how much Spanish I actually remember from two weeks ago. I don't think I forget anything as fast as I do math or foreign languages (and I'm fairly good with my own language, for heaven's sake!)

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 1 September 2003 18:33 (twenty years ago) link

On Labor Day??

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 1 September 2003 18:34 (twenty years ago) link

Weird, isn't it? University staff has the day off; and yet it's the first day of classes. I have a feeling that I'm actually going to the Strangest Normal School In The Country.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 1 September 2003 18:38 (twenty years ago) link

Godzilla vs King Ghidorah, Flashdance, and Eight Men Out are all on at the same time. How can I choose?

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 1 September 2003 23:16 (twenty years ago) link

You know what would be a great movie? "Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, Flashdance, and Eight Men Out."

(Gotta love comma humor.)

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 1 September 2003 23:16 (twenty years ago) link

Tep, no contest--go with the 'Zilla!

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 1 September 2003 23:18 (twenty years ago) link

Lesson plans suX0r

― Texas, Biyatch! (thatgirl), Monday, 1 September 2003 23:19 (twenty years ago) link

SoapNet has a show on called Who's Your Daddy -- which I was hoping was an actual soap opera because, damn, how would that not be the best show ever? But it's a special on births in soaps.

So -- yep, Godzilla! I've never seen the beginning of Flashdance, but I've seen Eight Men Out pretty recently. So Godzilla wins.

Whoa, this is the movie the "a long time ago, in a far off land, I saw a real live dinosaur!" sound clip comes from. Hearing it was like that time when I was in a restaurant and a James Brown song came on, and I caught part of it and went, "Pop Will Eat Itself!" -- not realizing it was actually the original song, not the sample. So when people gave me odd looks, I covered by saying, "... well, but it will, you know."

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 1 September 2003 23:22 (twenty years ago) link

I just had an epiphany, and I now grok the pickle in a bag.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 1 September 2003 23:27 (twenty years ago) link

Why doesn't soda come in variety packs? Have we learned nothing from Mr Goodbar? Seriously, if not for the Hershey's miniatures, I never would've had a Mr Goodbar, because hello, I grew up in the "Mr Carlson wants to touch Arnold in his bathing suit areas" 80s, and I was taught early on never to eat a Mister.

Wouldn't a variety pack be the best way to introduce Coke.12, or Strawberry Pepsi, or Mountain Dew Amber Alert?

Do they really think I'm more likely to be in the mood for a 24 pack of Dr Pepper than a 24 pack of "some of each"?

Bastards.

And I can't believe how much crap I'm putting in my backpack. No wonder they rent lockers. At some point, I'm gonna put a spare pack of cigarettes and lighter in there, cause the day I show up on campus without cigarettes for a 12 and a half hour day is the day I wind up on the news, and you realize there's a face to go with my eyes (which makes more sense if you've seen my Friendster profile. Presumably.)

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 01:15 (twenty years ago) link

Mike Andrews is a frickin genius and the Donnie Darko soundtrack is ... something else. I feel like I've been dropped into the film's rarifed world. *happy sigh*

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 01:16 (twenty years ago) link

my god this rainer maria album is good

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 01:17 (twenty years ago) link

I wonder if Orbit [Orbit, if you] happened to write an column about academic job searches for the Chronicle of Higher Education several years ago?

― daria g (daria g), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 02:49 (twenty years ago) link

Why do you wonder that?
I this year I left academia for the private sector; it pays more and I do more good in the world.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 02:53 (twenty years ago) link

it's ridiculous how much the near-term direction of my life depends solely on the behavior of one stock that I pretty much went all-in on. (AFRR)

if esoj is talkin about any RM album other than Past Worn Searching he crazee

― Aaron A., Tuesday, 2 September 2003 02:55 (twenty years ago) link

Past Worn Searching i have not heard, only the most recent two, which i adore

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 02:57 (twenty years ago) link

Daria, I guess the real answer is:
if you want to know about my public activities (as an academic, in the music business, as a musician, as a music writer) then that would best be done by email or chat. I'm not meaning to sound terse, but certain people around here jump on everything I say and I am wary of posting any more personal stuff on here for it to be ripped to bits by people who don't understand it. I hope you understand, and are not put off by it. I would be happy to hear from you. My AIM is radiofreealbmuth and the email is below.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 02:59 (twenty years ago) link

I did like the one before Knives, just nowhere near as much as PWS. I only sampled Knives at the store and didn't like the new direction but I shouldn't dis it.

Go download "Viva Anger Viva Hate" or even better "Tinfoil" from PWS.

― Aaron A., Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:01 (twenty years ago) link

see, why did you e-mail her?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:01 (twenty years ago) link

haha, why DIDN'T you?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:02 (twenty years ago) link

i didn't want people to think i was rude, and felt i should explain myself.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:02 (twenty years ago) link

I think I'm in trouble!

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 04:25 (twenty years ago) link

ah that Lindsey..

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 04:27 (twenty years ago) link

I love that song... I'd love it more if the title didn't apply to ME somehow.

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 04:28 (twenty years ago) link

24. Kick out the fat guy, he's the reason you are never gonna be big.

If those fucking raccoons don't shut the hell up I'm gonna run their asses over, too!

I'm thinking the havoc I hath wrought unto my yard hast revisited me tenfold in teh form of exaustion and fatigue, coupled with increased consumption of barleyhopinated beverages, makes for one weary wore-out feller.
