I'd invite him to come to class, but sadly our prof did specify that we could not have booze until after class was over. I just don't think FB would feel comfortable in that situation.

i am going to a show on weds that will make dan either lol or be envious or both

FESS UP, WHAT SHOW ARE YOU SEEING, IRISH?

(I'm asking on Dan's behalf, and will check back tomorrow a.m. after I sleep peacefully for the first time in months...

good night, all.)

another hint would be that ned will have the same reaction. and it isnt the cure. and i fear that the first avenue nightclub will not be strong enough to withstand the power of their mighty fog machines.

Congrats Sara! Not to say I told you so, but I told you so.

You are smarter than all this testing.

Yay Sara!

Remy, I'm sorry. It could be like someone else said that it was too much too soon for her. So take heart that it could change again in the future. But I do understand your feelings. I would be bummed to.

congrats sara!!! halfway done WOOOH!

Okay, I am absolutely freezing. I'd like to put on my gloves but that would make typing impossible. Really need to knit another Fetching. . .

I have a good fingerless pattern, although I never actually finished the second glove.

Hahah, I know exactly who it is now. But I gotta admit I'm just not thrilled by the idea of a show of theirs much now. (Though I was almost going to do a preview of it for the OC Weekly.)

SPILL IT

okay I was going to guess SISTERS OF MERCY but the website sez they're playing tonight

Are you sure you know what night yr show is?

xxpost. . .ah, the second sock syndrome.

I've done one Fetching but should probably try a different fingerless glove pattern to avoid boredom.

Typing with gloves on is actually working out well.

I did them in cheap yarn because I thought I would fuck up but failed to do so so now I am reluctant to finish but to start a new pair nice nice yarn.

That's the exact color I did the Fetching in. Debbie Bliss's Cashmerino Aran. One of my most favorite yarns.

God I love how double pointed needles look like some kind of insane medieval torture device.

Thanks for the support, guys. I promise to bandage all your future wounds. <3 <3 <3

John still hasn't fessed up to what band he's seeing? Weird. btw, someone told me last night at class that they had been to First Avenue over the weekend and it was CLEAN and even had a Corian countertop somewhere. I am having trouble processing this idea.

I had french fries for lunch. I feel so dirty now.

dan is right and this sisters of mercy tour date thing is troublesome. investigating...

further review of the current incarnation seems to push me pretty heavily towards the lol or maybe ._. reacton, maybe the best i can hope for (if i go, this may be a bad night for it) is o_O and ;_;

I refuse to allow anything to sully the memory of the '91 tour.

French fries!

John must go and offer a full report. Really, I insist.

FB's latest Twitter post suggests that he's going despite having what sounds like some kind of horrible respiratory infection. John please go and make sure he survives the night.

ha still so not on Twitter

I liked Twitter better when it had an "Election" page with all kinds of random election-related posts from all over the place. Now I apparently just use to to concern troll about FB's health.

guys i have to start work at 10:30pm tonight after working 8-5 today. WTF

wtf indeed!

i guess i should point out 8-5 was spent playing tomb raider II BUT STILL 10:30!?!?!

there was a 1/2 hour teleconference somewhere in there

what is yr job and can I have one too?

(jessie, did you ever get the Bejeweled mod for WoW?)

YES.

hahahahaha awesome

Dan is here to ruin your lifehelp you.

Okay, is this unintentionally disturbing/hilarious, or is it just me (and Andrew Sullivan, apparently, on whose blog I found this):

I wish I had thought of that scam. I would be rolling in money.

I'm sure you can devise your own twist on it and make $$$$, Ned.

wait is that not a joke?

Not so far as I can tell...

does it come with accompanying white hood?

There appears to be no mention of that, but I'm sure that is so cheap that they just figure people can fashion their own out of bedsheets or old pajama bottoms.

Sunny, what are you having to do that late at night?

oh god it's only wednesday.

glass half-full, Hey it's already Wednesday!

susan, we have a crazy project coming up where we'll be working a minimum of 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. we should have started by now but the team that needs to give us the code that we need to start testing is running tragically behind. Its not their fault. Its just a ridiculously tight deadline. One woman I was teleconferencing with at midnight last night told me she had arrived at work at 5am that day and was leaving at 1am.
Anyway, were trying to help them out to take some pressure off them and also we figure the longer their time line ends up being, the shorter ours will be and we need all the time we can get.

then when we finish we'll all get laid off! weeeee!

good lord. . .

I hope you're getting paid some overtime or a bonus for this.

its not so bad. the trickiest part is working in the kids routine at night. i swear the second her butt hit the bath water last night my phone started ringing.

Sunny, your job sounds like the craziest job ever!

I just reread The Subtle Knife (again, who knows how many times now). I'm sitting there eating my lunch in public trying so hard not to cry when Lee Scoresby died. I did but tried to staunch the tears before people saw me and thought I was weirdo.

Now I feel sad and still want to cry. Or just keep reading.

Stupid work.
