That sounds like a nice date. As someone who's been on one date his entire life, I find descriptions of them rather poignant.

Looking forward to the eventual SGNY dinner. I think you're going to have to get people to really pin down some RSVPs. Have you heard minimalism's story?

Hi. Enjoyed your review of the movies. "Fog of War" is on my must see list.

I practice taoist (daoist) meditation, as well as some more traditional western practices. The chem/bio study of the changes that happen as a result of a change in the rate of breathing is fascinating.

Well, I'm in a radically differnt discipine, but I could probably give some advice about the job interview process, and of course, office politics

in the academic world, a response like that is the only thing that can keep you sane after a while. something to remeber everytime I look back on grad school with nostalgia. of course, a faculty position brought a demension of politics all its own....

Yeah, postponement sounds like a good idea...very nice try though, and a good idea.
I managed to get myself in on another drug meal at Union Pacific tomorrow night, so I cant complain. I'm such a pharmaceutical ho-bag.

What I know best is sex and Jack the Ripper. Hmm...

the 6'7", 480 lb guy with an afro always ends up sitting in front of me. it's inevitable. OR the 12-13 year olds who just leanred how to use their cell phone are around me. ugh.

hey!
it was nice meeting you last night!
now, yr mission is to come out to more SGNY events to you can help me hide from old guys wearing funky hats who talk to themselves. ok?

Thanks! Nice to see you, too. Looking forward to eating up a storm on wednesday.

In a nutshell, they are renegotiaing the terms of the contract, you can accept or not. Sometimes what they do is legitimate, sometimes its questionable, but they pretty much bank on the notion that so long as their plocies aren't so out of line and universal that it would trigger a class action lawsuit nobody is going go to the trouble of suing them. ISPs are worse. They make unilateral decisions all the time that are illegitimate, but as the only recourse you really have is to sue of a refund of that months payment, they usually get away with it. in either case your continued use of the service is considered ratification of the new terms. There was no such trigger event to inicate acceptance of your offer so they have declined to accept your new terms.

The military OTOH is quite different, because you cant get out of the "contract". They say "Yeah it was a two year enlistment, but now its four." With any other part, you can simply say "Nah, fuck off, you breached the agreement her's your uniform back." Not so with military contracts. Military contracts youre bound to perform regardelss of how they change the terms (for the most part, there are constitutional and federal law limitations)

Thanks, sexy!

The party is tonight (the 9th) and then dancing at City Club (goth/industrial) on Saturday.

I'm having an 80s party next year. Mark your calendar.

Sorry about your cells dying. I hope you don't get attached to them.

Big Trouble in Little China? Yes, I have owned this DVD for a long, long time now. It truely is a great movie. I am now watching something called FireFly on DVD. A friend of mine loaned it to me. It's one of the shows that had 13 episodes on Fox before being cancelled. Created by the guy who created Buffy.

I have to say, DVD is one of the best things to happen to TV. I haven't had TV in over 3 years now. I hate it with a passion. But to watch my favorite shows without commercials...there's just something so right about that!

well, questions are a smart mans water...but anyway, i dont know that much about reptiles, only a bit. i know about what i have as pets.

i am going to post a pic of all of them as soon as my bf brings my digital camera home. flapjack is soooodamn cute! aside from what i have already mentioned though i have 2 ball pythons and a rat as well.

do you have any pets?

Yeah, the Mars landing is beyond cool. It interesting. Now there are I think 2 probes circling mars, and soon to be two landers. Be nice to build up a little robotic network around the place. I had a journal entry a while back saying I preferred robotic exploration to human. You have any opinions on this?

There is another probe set for Mercury. I don't see the reason for it, but I guess that's why I don't work at NASA.

this is why we need nametags for the new people.
maybe big cross hatches or something.

I enjoyed your post on the Bush 50% Blue collar thing.

I am not an Ivy League intellectual (or perhaps an intellectual at all) but I have an advanced degree in something in the liberal arts and read the Nation and Mother Jones monthly. I am proudly Independent (or Unaffiliated, as they call it here in North Carolina.)

I am also a life member of the NRA and a member of the Sierra Club. I am VIGOROUSLY pro-choice and pro-union. And....I work for a bank.

I don't sleep well, obviously.

don't knock the sinbad new years eve special.
great to finally meet ya

As I stood in line at the liquor store I heard the man in front of me say to the clerk, "welp, I guess it's amateur night tonight, I'ma stayin' home." He laid down a couple of bills for his JD and left after that.

Sorry I've been scarce, I keep meaning to comment on the virus thing you wrote for me. Can I get an extension?

*decides there is alot of whine in this entry*
*brings out the cheese*


see you tonight. xo

Oh, and your entry reminds me of "Sex in the City". As much as I adore that show and the characters, their shallow natures really irk me sometimes.

Before you even ask, I'm a cross between Samantha and Miranda.

I'll be at Skryche's partay. See you there. And the bruise is a lovely shade of puke-esque browny-yellow with a hint of blue. Lovely no?
