I also am clueless about e2e4.

My stomach is like a volcanic island right now, and has been for days.
I have these really intense cramps. Suffice to say it sucks.

I have an MD appt. Monday. I GUESS it could be stress related. My SO, Kevin, suggested it might be a wheat allergy. It HAS been ongoing for, like, over a year.
BREAD!?!?

I'm not sure life is worth living without wheat products.
I was like "OK, so can the doctor test me for that?"
Nope. I would probably have to not eat it and see if I felt better.
I mean I kind of know about this food allergy stuff, but not as applied to my general grazing attitude to life's rich bounty.

I'm on the fence - I feel like I can live with the pain! Everything I love has wheat in it!
Well, wine and limoncello are safe foods, I guess.
I also like polenta.

Yeeps tza. Crossed fingers for the best.

aimurchie, I hope you don't have a wheat allergy! That would suck in a very serious way. Good luck with your appointment!

Ned!!!! I can't see your photos. Because of the ISP difficulty bullshit. But I hope you're having a lovely evening anyway.

I am indeed! Remind me why it is your ISP doesn't like Flickr?

My ISP has been screwed up for over 2 weeks. If they don't have this fixed soon, I really will have to switch. Inertia has stopped me thus far, but ffs, they REALLY suck.

On an entirely unrelated note, I'm pretty sure that peanut butter M&Ms are more addictive than crack.

Crack is wheat free, correct? Just wanna keep my options open...

ned, i am jealous!!!

thanks for well wishes, guys! i hope it will work out. though, if last year is any indicator, it will not. oh well, this is the last year i will ahve to deal with it.

sara i saw a blurb in a mag today about cherry m&ms. this intrigues me! you?

i am now convinced that sara is posting from a gameboy ducttaped to a pile of old cereal boxes

built by the same people as flight of the conchords camera-phone

That basically describes my laptop, actually.

tehresa - YES to the cherry M&Ms. omg I have to go to the store and look for that.

aimurchie - yes, crack is usually wheat-free, but I think the other downsides might be significant. (so stick with the peanut butter M&Ms)

btw, am I the only person on earth who loves spumoni ice cream? Sometimes I wonder.

it is pistachio, cherry, chocolate, yes? i like that stuff.

mmmmm yes. I think some people object to the pistachio maybe.

xox spumoni xox

The people on this thread obv. have good taste.

lxy, are we gonna watch olympics this week?

spumoni is roxor

Yes, yes it is.

btw John, Southgate Cinema is closed FOREVER now. ;_; (There will be a Culver's there someday)

GOODBYE SWEET MOVIE THEATER WHERE I LEARNED YOU CAN NOT GET HIGH ENOUGH TO ENJOY "SUPER MARIO BROTHERS: THE MOVIE" ;_;

Another piece of Northfield's spectacular history, gone forever.

*sob*

fixed title

That is amazing, John.

Ned! I got to see your photos (at a friend's house) - what is that first one?

A lighthouse light. :-)

i'm spidermang

Please please PLEASE send me a photo of that.

check facebook!

haha awesome

Goddammit I CAN'T (home again).

This sucks.

PS Ned - thx for telling me what yr cool picture was of. I feel so blind being at home now!!!! ;_;

spidermang is awesome!!!

I am sure that he is!!!

How much would I have to pay him to visit my kids in that costume...

The best part of the day was thoroughly terrifying the birthday boy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KID

wtf

Pretty sure that's not what Marie Antoinette meant...

The first related video is also a trifle troubling.

Okay, I could see the photo in the link. AWESOME/HILARIOUS/THX

I can't wait until I get the actual child-scaring pictures from my friends!

If only there was a video.

Probably something like this:

This is my favorite metafilter thread of ... ever ?

http://ask.metafilter.com/99371/Has-my-cat-lost-her-mind

including this quote

This one time my sister's cat took a poop, but due to some freak of feline digestive system, a long hair was stuck in the poop, and lead back towards the cat's butt, where it was stuck inside another (assumed) poop that remained inside the cat in question once the cat started its victory lap. The victory lap turned to horror as the cat found itself being chased by its own poop like a boat dragging an angry water skier.

After she caught the cat, my sister calmly took a paper towel, grabbed the trailing hair, and yanked. The anchoring turd popped out of the cat, and all was well.

remy, that quote alone is so insane that I'm afraid to look at the rest of the site!

guys: sharon jones is incredible! the timbre hearing her live is like 3x more than what a recording is able to capture. she is my hero.

Oh, tza, I'm so envious that you had such an incredible night tonight!!!

SUSHI BURPS ARE GROSS

I have to think that the sushi eating was worth it, though.

mmm sushi. actually, sara, the night part was meh (concert was during the day) and included eating really mediocre uws food for my friend's birthday where she was kind of wasted and obnoxious and then i had to spend an hour getting home, but you know, the day part made up for it.

dnw: work today. however, 5 days left!

Hey, at least the concert part sounded okay!

I seem to have attracted a passive-aggressive nut, commenting on one of my reviews at Epini0ns. I think this is the first time this has ever happened in, like, 8 years. Possibly just someone wanting attention, but it is kind of jarring.
