Is it at least draining now? (hope hope)

it drains a small amount every so often. i think it is called "evaporation"

No luck, huh. Plumber dude couldn't fix it?

I really want to be sympathetic - and I am - and yet I can't help but picture you on one of those inflatable rafts, drifting around in a basement, drinking a beer.

I suppose it doesn't work that way.

I worry that John may have drowned. ;_;

Can't sleep - hate it.

That sucks. I should try to get to sleep soon, too... since we have to get up early to drive for hours on end. NOT looking forward to the getting up/getting going...

Anyway, the worst thing to do is to stay in bed and keep trying to fall asleep. Never works and it trains your body to keep staying awake in bed.

Okay, off to make a pathetic effort at sleeping. Good night all.

(Dan, go home and sleep. Mark, drink some hot chamomile tea and then try sleeping again.)

had a really good end of year review with my boss, i let him tell me how awes I am, then I told him I'm looking for another job. He was really nice about it.

for real it was a big weight off my shoulders telling him.

i had a long and stressful day but i dyed my hair cut and got a really nice FREE hair cut at a fancy salon. but the rest of the day was shit.

cut

You got a really nice free hair?

I KILL MYSELF

Anyway, I got back to sleep, after three hours of fretful discomfort. I watched some baseball, and saw my Rockies go from 8-3 up to 15-8 down, sigh. Feel all spacey and weird today.

funny guy. you can see it hair: i love style needs to get their hair did

i'm on my way to shelve fucking books now. it is 5:37 am. blackest of foul moods.

Getting ready to leave - will try to check out your hairstyle on the road, RR! Mark - glad you got at least some sleep... remy - ugh, that is too early for shelving books. SERIOUSLY

Have a good trip Sara! My best wishes to the pleasant peninsula!

Thanks! It should be fun. (once the car is packed)

I should have internets access, so you're not rid of me... don't get too excited. ;)

Pastagina is now open!

I don't want to be clicking that at work do I?

shockingly, still worksafe!

LAST DITCH PLUMBING EFFORT COMMENCES - NOW

ITR Pls to advise:

My friend's record label is putting on their biggest gig since it was founded tonight. It would involve a 1.5hr train ride there and then a long walk and then the gig and then a longer ride back later.

This is not nice weather to be joining a bunch of sweating commuters and I am still somewhat knackered from festivalness but I said I would go and the band will be great (tis Why?).

Go or no-go?

Urgh I don't know what to suggest. How about this? Over the next few years, your desire to go to events in circumstances like this will be crushed under the massive weight of not wanting to go, so you'll end up staying home more and more. So, if you're on the cusp of indecision, go. It's better to regret something you did do than something you didn't, etc.

GO. always, always suffer through it and go, because regretting going and wasting your time is much better than regretting missing a great show that all of your friends will talk about endlessly.

drain guy sounds like he is beating on something in my basement with a hammer.

this can not be a good sign.

You are right. I will drink heavily on the train and all will be awesomeness.

Have you seen your cat lately...?

Always Go To The Rock Show.

This is the only good piece of advice I received from a woman in high school who was otherwise a total jerk.

Good advice, but may not apply to plays. (And NO, John, this has nothing whatsoever to do with you. I just tried to go to a friend's play the other day and it was an unmitigated disaster/grave error.)

I went to the show and it was GR8. Bunked the train there and back this morning so cost me naaaaaafing.

I also successfully cockblocked my friend who was keen to sleep with the band's german tour manager. I think his girlfriend's lovely so consider this to be a good and not a heinous deed.

Yay, glad you went and had fun. It sounds like your presence was required there, too!

I had an hour-long googlechat exchange last night entirely in French!

I'm back in the land of smog. No wonder my throat feels dry.

Flipside: no more humid heat to deal with!

Mark, let's chat at some point soon (like when I get back to my house after July 13)! I can't do it in FRENCH, though. Or rather, I could, but wow would it not make sense. (sounds fun, however...)

Glad you made it home, Ned!

We're off in the car again in a few minutes... hopefully today will be a better travel day.

I wish I could play Scrabulous at work. I suck at it. I have few skilz. Haven't played scrabble since I was a kid. SO MUCH FUN

Sara yes! English is fine, though I might throw in a few Italian phrases for that smooth latin charmer vibe.

(um, I just said your username out loud and "R-C" sounds a bit, um, unfortunate in British English...)

that fuckin eyes wide shut thread with the laura brannigan video was the cause of an extremely awful nightmare i just had. i wilfully woke myself, it was so goddamn scary and now i'm too scared to back to sleep.

You...you live among THE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT!

(Night!)

Well, anything with Tom Cruise in it is bound to cause some sleep disturbances.

Mark, you are making me happier about the ridiculous last name that I actually have... the abbreviation just sounds like semi-obscure COLA here. (Also mmmmmmm Italian...)

FB is better at Scrabble than he's letting on, btw. Although he did start FIVE games with me, which may or may not have been a computer glitch. Sadly, I think he's beating me in all of them. (SO FAR)

my mood was greatly improved by going to a twins game and chatting with dudes from the Suburbs and the Suicide Commandos. AWESOME

If only I knew who those dudes were. But YAY anyway!

My mood was greatly improved by 1. getting out of the car and 2. having a really good dinner.

Sara is not a punk roxor. :-/

sara is a punk roxor now

So much can change in only 3 minutes. And I didn't even notice the difference!

Good night, all.

xo, punk roxor wannabe

hey en i see kay, are you nick a******n on facebook? it keeps telling me your friends with a bunch of my (ilx) friends. i was gonna send you a friend req, but thought i might creep the person out if it's not actually you!

lol dudes "time after time" starring malcolm mcdowell as hg wells trying to stop jack the ripper from being jack the ripper in 1979 san francisco is way too enjoyable
