Eh...my thoughts are just random little missives into the wind, I think...like the crazy guy on a barstool. I'm always there, just sorta ramblin' away...ah well!

Y'know, it's funny...but when you think about casualties...or people killed...it's easier by far to think of them as just people, and not people that we've made associations with. Like, if you're not emotionally invested in them...they cease to have a particular meaning in your life. I gues that can be another take on what I"m talking about...

...admittedly, you can never think too much about that stuff. There exist filters in order to process that kind of information so that nobody goes nuts...and that's most likely a good thing wink

The sexual revolution and the act of Union are not related in any way, you silly billy. tongue

I was refering to the fact that I had to read about the evolution of the birth control pill and the emergence of homosexuality into the public sphere, AND THEN start writing a paper about the Act of Union between Scotland and England in the year 1707. Such exciting stuff, really.

Aaahhhh... at last, i can post again. Sorry I've been so "absent" lately- the last couple of weeks have been insanely busy, with something to do every evening and work so hectic I have no time for my favorite place and people.
Y'all know who you are. biggrin

So anyway, I have yet to answer the questions regarding Pittsburgh, the psycho social worker, bubble punch, pirates,...

I forgot a couple of things.
I had Boba, or bubble tea, for the first time this weekend, yesterday to be exact. What weird ass shit.
Regan had it in London over the holidays, and raved about it until we got some boba stuff in the mail. 6 freakin pounds of boba stuff.
For the uninitiated, boba is sweetened iced tea with milk in it....

Brunch, on a Saturday morning in my bright clean English countryside kitchen with my husband. biggrin

I love bubble tea, but making the tapioca balls is far too much work for me, so I just go out to get it. I really want to see Mirrormask.

Listening to Interpol at the moment- Turn on the Bright Lights.
I've always liked this disc, but I don't listen to it that often. It never reaches out and grabs me- certain parts kinda do, but not the whole.

Giving it another shot.

Here's what i put on my mixes the other day.

It's an Atom Egoyan film...
Mia Kirshner is in it.
It's not great, but very interesting none the less.
Very hard to describe or explain, so check it out on IMDB.
As i suck at giving a decent synopsis.
holagatita:
Did Concrete Blonde do the song "Joey"? If so, I like her voice too! smile
Like you and Shelly, I can't juggle either, and I also can watch Run Lola Run over and over. Everybody Knows was in Natural Born Killers too, the Leonard Cohen version. I've seen Pump Up the Volume several times but it's been YEARS, and I don't remember the Concrete Blonde version. Okay, I will attempt my tag now. smile

Bleh. whatever

I feel absolutely icky.

Sometimes life sucks.
Sometimes I hate myself even when I know I am doing the right thing.

I had a lazy laid back kind of weekend....
it was too cold to go out and do anything, besides..
Cold + Shelly= unmotivated biggrin
However, i did take a hike to Trader Joes on Saturday, and for some reason that store makes me giddy!
But D and I got nothing accomplished on sunday... well...very little anyway.
I guess we went into hibernation mode.
Sounds like you guys had fun though!
If i lived anywhere near you, i'd be down with hanging out and drinking!
There aren't even any cool pubs/bars in this area. whatever
Sooo.... you are a fan of the cheese as well?
What are some of your favorite kinds?

Got the home improvement bug.
Don't got the cash for the home improvement bug. tongue

As the winter nears it's end, the snow begins it's final dissolution, and the spring peepers escape from frigid hibernation, thoughts turn towards....

Concrete.
Gutters.
Solving the constant grass/erosion problem.
Paint? Re floor? Tear the fucker down?

Etc. Etc.

The best Bourbon in the world is Basil Hayden's 8yr. Distilled in Clermont and Frankfort Kentucky, deep in the heart of Bluegrass.

For those uninitiated into Bourbon whiskey:
Only whiskeys distilled in Kentucky can be called Bourbon.

Like Roquefort cheese, to be called Bourbon a whiskey must be distilled and aged only in certain ways.

Bourbon can be made only with corn mash- very little...

So I submitted a news story Friday morning.

I haven't gotten any word on acceptance. Guess I'm not gonna. I have also tried to put my directory listing into another category, got a message that it would be "reviewed", and haven't heard anything else there either.

Hmmmm.

Here's a link to the original story I submitted.

In other news, we have our first day of...

That sounds so cozy! I'm jealous of your cozy little day you have going... or had going.

I'm not doing anything much different from what I wrote... other than the boy and I going over to my dad's for a birthday dinner later tonight. We're saving the partying for the concert we're going to in Rochester in a month.

And re. submitting things here... I tried to create a "tall girl" group, but I got denied. I don't really understand their rhyme or reason, since there used to be a tall girl group but it disappeared. I still say they throw darts to decide things. whatever
shellymc:
Keep me updated if you see it...
because some days i don't check out the stories.
As i'm to busy checking out naked chicks and responding to comments... tongue
Have a good day!
and....
i so don't want to go to work!
