If not southern = Jewish in some neighborhoods, well... well, I really don't know what to make of that. But okay!

this was in south carolina, a.k.a. buckle o' the bible belt, where if you're not baptist or southern, you are assumed to be jewish and from new york.

haha my little sister just sent me a post card from chile addressed to 'sister theresa [last name]'

yuh i guess going to a fairly insular catholic boarding school didn't help my non-jewish ppl meeting.

Also amusing that the bursar of the school was a Jewish chap.

xp Okay, that's awesome. All of it!

You should use "Sister Theresa" as your ILX username.

wilter, living in Hastings was mostly like living in the land of the boring white people... being Catholic may have been viewed as slightly exotic to some. (I would have to say that the Jehovah's Witnesses seemed pretty exotic to me. Although I only ever met ONE.)

Northfield = somewhat better than Hastings was, because there are colleges here.

jordan is jewish!

i think he is maybe the second jewish person i've ever met in my whole life, but there aren't many at all in nz

estella was a diver and she's always down

woah that school!

Okay, now I have to do my boring weight lifting. This is one of those things that I wish I could do in my sleep, because it is so painfully uninteresting.

Post-weight lifting pizza rolls are very tasty.

post, pre, or during anything pizza rolls are very tasty

I'm not going to ask you to qualify that statement in any way.

Also, why am I still sitting here?

PIZZZA ROLLS ARE ALWAYS GOOD IS WHAT I AM SAYING JEEZ

I believe that you are correct and I may have them for lunch again tomorrow. I felt off all day until I ate them. THEY CURED ME

ACCEPT THE ULTIMATE FLAVOR FROM THE DEMON OVENS OF JENO

no one has any idea what i am talking about again do they

Jeno's Pizza Rolls?

I think they are defunct, but yes I am following you.

Or maybe I'm not. I'm still unnerved by the "during" part of your statement.

MUMMIFICATION IS A YEARLING BY WHICH I MEANS THIS TASTY PIZZA ROLLS IS THE NEW CHILD SCARFING TEARS THAT MAY CONTAIN THREAD GAS BUT CERTAINLY CONTAINS TROOF. AND BEARS. AND HSTNGS MN SOBRIETY TEEN DANCE

^^^ for posterity

And now, good night.

well like during watching a movie or driving or eating or building a snow fort or organizing a amateur boxing match SHEESH

or going to sleep i guess xpost

putting "age of innocence" in yr netflix queue right next to "gangs of new york" is

A. unintentionally fucking hilarious in a special "when I tell this story later ppl will chuckle" kind of lol one ends in draft riots and four years later it's winona-marryin' time way
B. mad stupid and dumb and totally confounding to the brains while it's happening to you
C. a good way to get set for the weekend because really you could go fishing off of the West Bank and probably still have more fun

I want to say A, I really do. but really....

two really friendly girls were in my restaurant tonight, and they sounded american so i asked what part of the states they were from: 'oh we're from ontario, canada'. i apologised profusely (they were very gracious) and then leaned over and whispered 'i thought you were too friendly to be american' and we all LOLOLOLOLOL'd

no offense to any of you lovely americans, but seriously: the majority of american tourists in this country are fucking retards with bad manners. i don't know why these particular people all come to nz.

and they left me a $15 tip of a $75 bill, which is HUGE here. first time i've ever been tipped by a canadian (they are even less likely to tip than americans).

i am offended

I am not offended. I can imagine my Dad acting awful in restaurants anywhere because I have seen it many, many times.

I am, however, a tad concerned that John went to sleep with pizza rolls in his mouth to prove a point.

Tom, did you put those movies in your netflix queue that way? Because I worry for your weekend.

I wish I had someone to worry for my weekend. As long as I don't hit my head on anything at any point I will consider it a success.

I would also like to inform yez that I saw a Minnesotan a-hipping and a-hopping last night. Was good times.

was it teh atmosphere?

or just someone in the crowd wearing a mosquito is our state bird t-shirt

t'was Atmosphere indeed. you guize should be proud.

xp I will worry for your weekend, Nick. I'm a worrier!

Hey look, John didn't choke to death on a pizza roll. Yay!

<3 Sara for worrying about me. I will try my hardest to behave responsibly. (joek)

Well done John for not being dead!

No problem, now don't forget to not hit your head on anything. At least not very hard!

i am tired today :(

I have been sleep-deprived all week long, and today I have been having weird deja vu sensations in which I keep remembering vivid snippets of some of last night's dreams for a millisecond...so that probably means that I am going to die or something

i am groggy. need to make important phone call but have to wait for coffee to kick in. when will it kick in omg!/!?

is this the new mollify?

yes

i have been strange places, lately, and away from this mumificatory collaboratory.

also: i am midway through an advance reader's copy of neal stephenson's anathem and, after some initial rough going, feel v. privileged to be checking it out this soon. it is a super duper book.

It seems like everyone else's afternoon is more interesting than mine. Still, more pizza rolls are in the toaster oven, so there's that.

remy, you have made me miss advanced copies of books, omg. Maybe I should go back to working in a bookstore.

i am gonna go eat lunch. checkya layta suckiz

sara you realize all this talk is gonna make me run out and buy pizza rolls.

I would blame myself, but it's so much easier to blame John.
