Crying of Lot 49, no question.

i will now confess that my new username has nothing to do with Pynchon before i get myself in trouble

John, please trip yourself for me, okay? thx

WARNING WARNING WARNING

IF V. IS THE FIRST PYNCHON YOU READ, YOU WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER WANT TO READ PYNCHON AGAIN AND, IN FACT, WILL BE ANGRY AT EVERYONE WHO EVER TOLD YOU HE WAS WORTH READING AND ASSOCIATE HIS NAME WITH POSEUR LITERATURE

^_^

my dad has now discovered fivethirtyeight. LOL.

Crying of Lot 49, no question.

― may be a woman beater but im not a fussy eater (John Justen)

agreed. altho it's the only pynchon i've read.

omg. my sister has just informed me that she was interviewed by f0x n3ws about palin's look and that they asked her to try on palin glasses and then asked why so many fashionistas are into obama. sooo wish my internet was not dial-up slow tonight so i could look for this!

Ha, wow! Sarah Palin's looks are about the only thing I do like about her, and that is on shaky ground when she starts with the ugly pink jackets. Michelle Obama's style, however, I love. (If only I were that tall...)

xp Okay guys, rank your Thomas Pynchon loves and hates for future reference.

hahaha

i can not find it on their site. maybe it didn't run. she said afterwards she realized they were going to try to spin it to make it look like she was a palin fan. eek!

Never trust F0x news.

surely we are all Palin fans? an unparodyable politician is a truly special thing; you should appreciate her before she is once more irrelevant, back on her porch and glaring at Russia.

we have this clown:

and he is the elected Mayor of London. so very proud of my people.

ok swap "supporter" for "fan""

supporter? eww gross no.

btw anyone who votes for someone "because they're funny", should be automatically disenfranchised. that is why he ^^ is now in charge of real things and it upsets me greatly.

The Mayor of London looks shockingly like the doddering character that Tim Conway used to play on the Carol Burnett Show. I suppose it's the hair.

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...?
