Yes on Crying BTW.

I will never start a poll thread. But please choose which celebrity photo is most amusing/terrifying/whatever in this gallery:

Best: number 16, of course, showing one of the GREATEST BANDS EVER etc.

Worst: number 18, and Dan will agree with me since it shows Thandie Newton in an embrace with someone who is neither of us.

OMG is that salma hayak nips!?! they cant put that in the washington post!

So we can all agree that Dan agrees with Ned, are they the same person, etc. etc. Thandie Newton always strikes me as way too skinny, though, you guys. (Admittedly she doesn't venture into Lara Flynn Boyle territory...)

Thandie Newton is the type of too-skinny that can carry it off, I think.

spinners' 'i'll be around' = candidate for best song ever

I have never heard this song! ;_;

I am just really in a crabby mood tonight for no good reason whatsoever. My remedy is probably going to be ignoring school reading (about ostomies, whoo!) and finding some ILX thread that will make me lol.

LOLZ FOR SARA

don't open in front of the kids

I will never start a poll thread. But please choose which celebrity photo is most amusing/terrifying/whatever in this gallery:

I think I like #4, with the jockey twins there staring at Melanie like, "Where shall we hide the duck-lipped one's body before we balp Antonio?"

xp Thanks RR - I will open that wisely.

btw, ITR denizens, happy weekend!

I have class tomorrow (blah), complete with a quiz on ostomies and a test-out, but then at least I'll have Saturday night and Sunday to myself. We're up to the final academic unit in this class; I'm so ready to move on to clinicals because, even though they are exhausting beyond belief, I can at least not spend all my time looking at a textbook.

ja lasst uns die Blicke erheben
und fest auf die Lenkung der Ewigen bau'n
fest der Milde des Vaters vertrau'n
der Rein ist von Herzen
und schuldlos von Eben
darf kindlich der Milde des Vaters vertrau'n

^^^^ need to memorize this in the next 45 minutes

Hum it loudly.

Well, um... it looks short anyway.

25 minutes to go. I would like to join you in this endeavour but I am un peu avec drinky.

i ate part of a guinea pig last night.

dan at least it rhymes!

sort of

i just had dinner w/ sleep and jw and also 2 drinks, one of which was whiskey BEFORE dinner so i am a little loopy bc of that + cold/sinus issues. and it's not even 8!

who was the ilx dude that i met (not morbius) when i had drinks with you guys in NYC?

wwhat did he look like?

really tall

must be vic/sleep

sounds like vic. fuckin guy is tall

i'll be around x 2 because it is awesome

it should be noted that mookieproof is also tall, but i don't think he was there.

You guys, I don't want to study anymore. I want to enjoy watching the GOP implode. Does that make me a bad person?

not one tiny little bit.

<3 <3 <3

sr-c do you discuss politics with yr parents much? bill clinton was the first democrat my dad ever voted for (he is now 72) -- he's actually now embarrassed to have ever been a republican.

was i dissed when jj came to nyc? maybe i was elsewhere, and sad

I try, mookieproof, but usually I just get hit with bizarre right wing talking points and racist crap, so I realize it's entirely a hopeless cause. My Dad used to have some sense, but then Clinton came along and he'll still go on about how the Clintons killed Vince Foster... it doesn't matter how crazy it is, the Republicans are always perfect and right and the Democrats are always inherently evil. Weirdly, my Mom *did* have qualms about Palin at the beginning - because of her kids' names! - but now she's totally on board. I probably have to go over there on the Sunday before the election, so that should be a fun afternoon.

But hey, good for your Dad for coming around. If there's an antidote you gave him, I'd sure love to get some for my family.

just now

dadrza: I'm such a liberal elitist
dadrza: and I LOVE it

I know I shouldn't take it personally, but part of it is that I want the Dad back who encouraged intellectual growth in me when I was a kid, not the one who embraces anti-intellectual nonsense.

The upside is that I think he does have a modicum of respect for me, since I don't hesitate to call him out on this stuff. (So I've earned the respect of a conspiracy theorist! Wait, that really shouldn't mean anything, should it).

tza, maybe I could be adopted into your family...?

i would be happy to have you! we are kind of insane in our own way, though, and lots of my not parents or sisters family are totally illogical and repub.

Well, anything would be an improvement at this point. ;)

Okay, back to my boring weight lifting and then studying more b.s. Friday evening. Ugh!

haha in the mid-90s my facist grandmother (rip) once, over the carving of the turkey at thanksgiving (sadly i was not there), declared that vince foster was murdered and that the semen found in his trousers was not his own. my (awesome) aunt stormed out.

she attributed my lack of a "real" job in the nineties to bill clinton, so it's probably just as well she didn't live to see W.

i don't even really talk politics until i'm drunk (hi!) but at least these days i'm in a reasonably unassailable position...

pix of weight lifting plz

nytimes not so great on article usage:

Gov. Sarah Palin abused the powers of her office by pressuring subordinates to get her former brother-in-law, a state trooper, fired, a investigation by the Alaska Legislature has concluded.

WOW that's delightfully spazzy. Maybe they wuz in a rush.

I've just booked November 5th off of work so can continue my decade long tradition of staying up all night for US elections. I have £120 riding on this one (which admittedly is not much compared to the future of the western world) so pls to not screew it up for me.

Reading your tales I'm almost wishing my family had a little more loony right in it but alas I must endure my non-arguments with people that agree with me.

And another request for weightlifting pics. :D

i am really glad you decided to include that parenthetical clause or i would have smacked you transatlantically.

wait, who are you betting on?

umm, I hate to say this buuuuut.....

you've got to be kidding.

LOLOLOLOLOL

Fear not tehresa, I am as committed to Obama as I can be. I've never been as emotionally or otherwise invested in politics as I am right now in your election.

mr mookieproof, you were not ignored - this was many months ago and was a frenzied and hectic speedrun of philly and NYC which also included a wedding somewhere in there. next time i east coast it, i will be more prepared

You people do NOT want to see me exercise, good GOD.
