This will be a very low-key evening thanks to THE HORRIBLE ILLNESS that has sucked away three days of my life so far, bleah. Thankfully the fever went away, but you really don't want my headache and stomach pains, yech. So no BBQ with friends for me, it's all about chilling and probably starting to write a draft for Marooned, aka ILX: The Book.

I cooked a big, big dinner and now I'm recovering with several beers before I go check out the gingered peaches in the fridge.

― Truckdrivin' Buddha (Rock Hardy), Sunday, 14 August 2005 00:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Ooh--how do you ginger a peach? Is liquor involved?

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Sunday, 14 August 2005 01:23 (eighteen years ago) link

rohypnol too.

I delivered pizza for a while. I stopped at the gas station on my way home to my apartment. I got home, washed my hair, and put clothes on to go out. Now I'm websurfing and listening to illegally obtained music. And listening to my idiot neighbor's soundsystem as it periodically inundates my ceiling with the bass range of the soundtrack from whatever movie it is that he's watching. Is it worth my time to go up there and tell him to turn it down? Or should I just go to the bars early instead of waiting for a phonecall from the people I'm going to be meeting there? Decisions, decisions.

And also I'm being totally surprised that I responded to this thread the first time around. Jesus fuck, how long have I been lurking on ILX?

I peeled and cut up some peaches, sprinkled just a tiny amount of sugar over them to get the juice going, then grated a small knob of ginger into them. Stir, let sit an hour or two, hey presto tasty. Oh yeah, I threw in some blueberries too.

I should throw all of that in the blender with some vodka, now that I think about it.

i went to borders, sat down in the magazine sectin with a book and read 70 pages of it.

on my way home, after i got off the el, i directed a woman to a local bar.

i'm now surrounded by sleeping cats.

I am reading Philip Roth and listening to Mars Volta and drinking beer and occassionally messageboarding.

I am zoning a bit, still dealing with the occasional stomach pain from whatever this is that's been bothering me, getting ready to sleep...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 14 August 2005 04:19 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm watching Gunga Din, as part of some sort of Cary Grant film festival. Outrageous racism, of course, but great God, a shirtless young Grant is something to behold.

I took the train into the city to see the beasts of bourbon show, which turned out to be sold out. so I went home and watched the premier league with a plate of nachos.

i got pad thai from the local takeaway, had one glass of wine while watching the last episode of dr who (boohoo) then fell asleep on the couch while the bill was on

I saw two of my best friends get married. Their big Italian families were all at the wedding, it was GREAT. Oh man, I ate so much good food, took 2 rolls of pictures. It was a great night.

Also, it was the first time I saw most of my friends in suits/tuxes. I was impressed by how spiffy all the guys looked when they're usually in flip flops and 3 day old stubble!

This thread should have been one of my 51 other Saturday nights, those are boring. This was probably my most un-boring Saturday night of the year... I'll make for it next Saturday. I'll be in suburban NJ, trying to scrounge up a friend to go to Chester diner or something & bored off my ass.

my boring saturday night got exciting when i found out that little rock shows its lifestyle programs at 2am sunday morning. by 3:30am id learnt how to install toungue and groove wood flooring and how sometimes its ok to go with wood panelling on the side of your tub rather than marble.

now sitting motionless and bored by computer.

You could always dress up as an eastern european olympic gymnastics coach and try to blag your way into parties. Not that I am about to have any experience with that.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 29 October 2005 21:48 (eighteen years ago) link

I wonder if I can stay awake long enough for the Subgenius shows on WREK.

I'm in the library working on a 20 page article for Monday (I'm only on page 10). Do I win?

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Saturday, 29 October 2005 22:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I am attempting to do a backlog of library assisgnments. When not taking breaks for tea and sneaking Halloweed candy, I am rendered despondent by the tedium of it all.

Going to a costume party, but one full of bench scientists. I expect several sexy kittycat costumes, plus a few joke ones punning on molecules I've never heard of.

A new age label hired me to remix some of their back catolog into ambient/chillout, so that's what I'm doing right now. Meeting up with my girlfriend for a drink in a few hours.

Went for a ride and bought a pack of smokes. Wowza! Contemplating the last bud tucked neatly inside of a paper towel in the drawer next to me here. Can't decide.

I WENT to a STUPID halloween party - and i dressed up as a fat girl in a corset

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Sunday, 30 October 2005 06:05 (eighteen years ago) link

DUD - going to a small party where almost everyone gets so drunk that they speak a drunk-girl language consisting mostly of "whooooo" and "oooohh" and "ewwwweeeeeee" and stuff like that, and it makes no sense to you and you leave

― Mickey (modestmickey), Sunday, 30 October 2005 06:41 (eighteen years ago) link

and somebody else calls you wanting to hang out and you can't remember who he is and you feel bad about it

― Mickey (modestmickey), Sunday, 30 October 2005 06:41 (eighteen years ago) link

CLASSIC - returning to your apartment and eating a ~50 cent frozen burrito. it feels like an eternity I had to wait for this thing to cool off. classic!

i went to this awesome house party in South LA and danced til 2:30am! the cops were parked outside with spotlights! a guy dressed as superman started to run around the house with a chainsaw and the cops came in and he threatened them with the chainsaw! they went to arrest him but he said, "see this motherfuckers?? NO CHAIN! can't take me in now!" The cops looked at one another and said, "He's right!" and went back outside. There were 70 yr olds and 10 yr olds at this thing. kick ass. And I'm not even hungover!
