jaq - You should come to see my studio's ultra-lo-budget, kiddified Nutcracker! You might even get to see me moving the curtains around if I can't wriggle my way out of any involvement.

So are those motels on Aurora actually, like motels where you can spend the night, or just old disreputable drug-and-hooker joints? It's weird that there are so many seedy-ish but vintage looking old places there.
I've been up Aurora as far as 130th, when I needed a hotel and everything closer to downtown was booked solid or super expensive. It feels very weird and un-Seattle up there, and our weird hotel had dozens of old RVs parked around it, packed with stuff. I assumed it was some sort of weird homeless camp or something.

Yeah, the relationship abides but sadly the planned September re-trip to Stl did not. I'm still paying off the other airline ticket, I dunno when I'll be back...but you'll hear from me when I am! I hope for fabulous parties chez lxy and chatter chatter all night on the porch.
― Laurel, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 19:18 (sixteen years ago) link
Or until I/we are too drunk and no longer make any sense/have attention spans.
― Laurel, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 19:19 (sixteen years ago) link
laurel,
i'm glad things are going well with the boy, and sorry your september trip didn't / won't happen. maybe you'll come in october instead. for fabulous parties. (no fear, we continue chattering even after we've stopped making sense.)

I was going to go to Washington DC but on second thought, it's so goddamned uptight, I think I'd either be pissed off all the time or just give in and spend years obsessively focused on goals such as moving up the career ladder, buying a condo, and affording my first Beamer or some shit. All of which I don't actually care about.
there but for the grace of god. where is a northwest job (fuck the seahawks though)
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 20:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Come on out. Something will turn up, certainly.
btw, where we live now is about 4 blocks from the stadiums. Seahawks fans: turn up at 9 am for a 1 pm game, because that's when the bars open. General rowdiness, tire squealing, and yelling from 9 am until noon, when apparently they all pass out in their seats at the game. Mariners fans: turn up at 6 pm for a 7 pm game (because parking is free after 6), apparently do their drinking in the stadium (or maybe they were all crying in their beers at the country bar down the block), then drive meekly home to the eastside.

Okay, Mr. Mariners' Fan who was pretending to fuck the pig statue across from the stadium by Pyramid Ale - was that necessary? I think perhaps you are a Seahawks' fan in disguise and are looking to give the baseball fans a bad name.
― Jaq, Thursday, 27 September 2007 03:17 (sixteen years ago) link
i hate those pigs (and am not a fan of the guy)
― jergïns, Thursday, 27 September 2007 03:53 (sixteen years ago) link

That pig looks like it's already been roasted. I did not know they made noise - that's horrible.
― Jaq, Thursday, 27 September 2007 04:24 (sixteen years ago) link

Not exactly an animal sacrifice, but I'm having 150 lbs of meat delivered to my office today.

laurel there is a RAGING bud select argument over on time for a drinks thread and I can't help but think you'd have something to say
― jergïns, Thursday, 27 September 2007 16:32 (sixteen years ago) link
Hmmm! Do I care about Bud Select?
― Laurel, Thursday, 27 September 2007 16:32 (sixteen years ago) link
i dunno do you??? that's the big question!
― jergïns, Thursday, 27 September 2007 16:36 (sixteen years ago) link
Pretty sure I've never had it!! I might be going over to the dark side, though, since I had a Modelo Especial the other night and it was pretty good (they were out of Bud).
― Laurel, Thursday, 27 September 2007 16:37 (sixteen years ago) link
Does the pig sing the same aria every single time, or does it do random selections?
― Jaq, Thursday, 27 September 2007 16:39 (sixteen years ago) link
Mmmmm, dark dark beers mmmmmm.
― Jaq, Thursday, 27 September 2007 16:40 (sixteen years ago) link
same "aria"
