Your Boring Saturday Night

yay!

i am listening to staind

eating chinese food leftovers

riding internet waves

what kinda chinese food? i just ate a sandwich, btw

B-)

fried rice & scallion pancakes

Dad had his birthday tonight. I helped out by reminding him that my son (his grandson) will reach his age in the year 2071.

I could live without your stuff
And design within your re-e-each

OMG NED RAGGETT MANCAVE EXTINCTION WATCH 2011!!!!11!!!1111!

(congrats!)

earlier tonight: delicious belgian ales in fancy glasses @ reasonably happening nightspot

now: rolling rock in a can @ home

decided to stay away from the hard stuff tonight, as I actually have to get up tomorrow morning. still, it would be nice to conjure even a mild beer buzz, which I can't seem to do nowadays b/c I've ratcheted up my booze tolerance to such absurd levels over the years. i guess I could shotgun some steel reserve or something, but nah..

chinese food (sesame chicken, spring rolls) and L&O reruns.

i had a bourbon & coke tonight but there was so little bourbon left that it hardly made a dent in my sobriety.

but did you at least put a twist in your sobriety?

Sorry, when you've done as many crosswords as I have, Enya is never far from your mind. Although I probably don't need to explain that to the creator of ochocinco flow.

b-b-but that song is by tanita tikaram?

NYT X-word mainstays: Enya vs. Eno

Oh yeah, JBR. what was I thinking. In fact, one time there was an xword clue that was something like "1963 Album ___ in Paris." I had E_ _ A and reflexively put in ENYA.

Probably even said "1963 Jazz album"

lol

Enya and Louis

I had a recurring nightmare around age 11 or 12 where I was trapped in the video for orinoco flow with the "sail away" part playing over and over

Actually don't think I remember hearing either "Orinoco Flow" or "Twist In My Sobriety" until just now. I must have been ill in 1988.

ohh my. a dastardly friend began feeding me gin after my gf went home. an unexpected* twist!

*expected

i'm watching enya videos now fyi i hope u all are happy

Me too. I think Cameron ripped off the "Orinoco Flow" video for Titanic.

we're being absolute cheap-asses about it, but we're very picky too. it's a weird venn diagram of needs.

Craigslist + time.

I applaud the usage of venn diagrams for describing and analyzing interpersonal relationships.

Craigslist + time.

i won't buy used furniture. can't deal with the possibility of bedbugs.

Even a table and chairs? Assuming dining room type chairs, they seem less buggable.

Lame ass Saturday night. Out of the blue this girl I was obviously into ... we almost had a thing going when she had a boyfriend (it was rumored that she wanted to leave him for me at the time) ... contacts me out of the blue to hang out and tells me she broke up with him. I think, "wow, maybe it'll finally happen!" Then we hang out, and she brings along some guy she's hooking up with. Who does that? Do people think at all? Feels like some kind-of cosmic humiliation.

I fell asleep at 10:00. Rockin' good times round here.

i just curled up & fell asleep in my clothes last night, at some point later making the position to pulling a blanket over me. actually counts as a good saturday night, really, i never recognise that i'm tired & then fall asleep rather than stubbornly resisting it, usually. falling asleep in my clothes & falling asleep on my couch still feel like signs of pride and autonomy in being an adult to me.

ouch @ Spectrum ;_;

I always sleep in my clothes

yeah i am kinda into it occasionally, it is a decadent/dirtbag thing. the only thing i hate is not getting to wash my face before sleep.

;)

this thread reminds me that i have, for a year, had a dining table with no chairs. i should probably do something about this.

late to the party but my saturday night included going on a bike ride with my dad + bf, watching airplanes take off/land, riding back, going to dinner where i ate delicious wood oven pizza and ordered a beer because it was called "fade to black" and there were 180 beers to choose from. bonus: it was awesome, like drinking manhattan special + alcohol, and the label is sweet:

cool - wish my saturday nights were that boring!

That Orinoco Flow video actually is really creepy, I checked

man you gotta start drinking.

hahahaha :D

anyway today was spent a.) writing, b.) getting rained on, c.) cleaning my filthy shitbox car (finally), and d.) doing about four loads of laundry, so tonight i plan to spend sitting on my fat ass doing fuck-all.

having a headache...later, spare ribs for dinner then watching Conan The Barbarian, hearing the lamentations of the women etc

• Worrying about the 22-month-old napping so late, but it's nice to have a little time to sit here in the office.

• Writing angry emails to Kroger.

• About to open my first beer of the night. Might go wake the boy up afterward.

Driving back to Petersburg from Indianapolis with My Guy and a rewarding stack of vinyl in the back seat.

Ummm make that sitting at a Starbucks waiting out a storm outside of Indianapolis.

listening to new purchases from the amoeba hollywood clearance bins:

band of susans - veil
buffalo daughter - wxbd: the wicked frequency (remix EP from '99, on grand royal)
v/a - peel out in the states: programs 15 & 16 (john peel radio sets from '93)
damon & naomi with ghost
zeni geva - desire for agony (alternative tentacles, 1993, steve albini engineering)
v/a - mute: tonal evidence (comp from '91)
v/a - xx calarts women's CD: 5th anniversary (female composers from calarts -- a gift for my bf, who got his music degree there in the '90s)

Went out to drink early and got tired. Lol old.

xpost

the ID3 tag was messed up for one of the tracks on the mute compilation. the song ("cloud chamber") is by a swedish indiepop band named easy, but the artist was tagged as eazy-e!

Ate a bunch of crabs. Watched some Breaking Bad. Bedtime now.
