"restful, fluorescent lighting lends enchantment to the blended pastels of walls and ceiling. chairs are upholstered in rose-red leather, carpeting is pale green. green venetian blinds and red, green, and cream drapes blend with the over-all beauty of the car."

"snow-capped mountains overlook the orange groves... white beaches stretching along the pacific as far as the eye can see"

Do you have to connect the phone to a computer and download the pics before you can send them, or can you send them directly from the cell phone through the interspace? I guess probably the former.

Never lose that first instinct;> The camera phones are just point and shoot. Viva sponteneity!

Got the time set on this watch but can't for the life of me figure out how to adjust the band, and the instructions make no mention. Anyone know how to do this sort of thing? It's a metal bracelet type band, the kind where ... um, to take it off, there's a metal clasp that you flip up, and there's accordioning metal things underneath it that fold out and then you slip the watch off. There must be a way to adjust it, I can push this halfway up to my elbow and I don't have small arms.

Exercise that wrist so it bulks up! Excessive masturbation will do it! I'm told!

Tep, I think Sleeping in Flames is his best.

take off your watch, THEN wank it endlessly.

all things in their proper order

I'm too much of a reactionary for my own good, aren't I? I feel as though I can't help but be this way, especially since I've been this way for almost half my life, but damn, sometimes I really push things, don't I? Oh man, I need to avoid That Thread for awhile, until I can gather up enough courage to check out the responses. If they're especially cruel, I suppose I had it coming to me, hm? I just -- my opinions really haven't changed, it's just that I need to work on being less offensive with them.

My goodness, lots and lots of worrying and stress and exhaustion and whatnot over the past few days or so. Thankfully the week's almost over. OMG, THE WEEK'S ALMOST OVER? Ooh, thank goodness for tonight's programming choices. I'm definitely going to be able to veg out in front of the TV tonight. Speaking of vegetarian -- wow, so a Tex-Mex chain can serve you up veggie fajitas. That is one of the coolest things I've ever found out about my local surrounds ever. Definitely will need to try that out.

― Just Deanna (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 11 September 2003 21:29 (twenty-two years ago)

are you veggie dee?

veggie fajitas have always been a let down to me. Just peppers, onions and sometimes weird shit like squash. Squash doesn't belong in a tortilla.

Dear Tep, it CAN slide off....

I read that very wrong and was very frightened.

Tep, I think Sleeping in Flames is his best.

Woo, excellent. Of the other stuff, I think I might have liked Wooden Sea best. The others had a lot going for them, although I kept thinking I'd read Bones of the Moon before thanks to Sandman's A Game of You arc, and Land of Laughs is ... I don't know. Familiar territory somehow, probably moreso than when it was released.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 11 September 2003 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Never read Land of Laughs; didn't they re-release that recently? Actually, I haven't read any of his stuff in a while, as his style started to drive me a little crazy... but I should re-visit.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 12 September 2003 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

He's kind of like Murakami, in that I like him best when I don't read lots of him in a row -- although there's a large leap in style (not forward so much as different) between Land of Laughs and later things. Land of Laughs -- which I think was rereleased, along with Bones of the Moon, cause the trade dress is very similar -- is ... hm. Without spoiling anything, it's a good book about people who read books and how they react to books and the idea of book fannishness. I think Peter Straub had probably read it when he wrote Hellfire Club -- no similarities in plot, but even so.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 12 September 2003 00:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Did you read Outside the Dog Museum? I liked that one too. There's a lot of stuff in his books I like, I like his ideas quite often and I like where he takes them, but something about his prose style and characterization drive me a little batty.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 12 September 2003 00:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I think that's one of the ones that was out of print (although I should've checked amazon.uk -- he does better in Europe, I think) :/ I looked for a lot of Carroll books last week, to at least consider before narrowing down ... and most of them aren't in print anymore.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 12 September 2003 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

He lives in Vienna. I actually spoke with him briefly when I visited some eight (!!) years ago now.

295 nu answers wtf 10 minutes ago it was like 301 nu answers

right now I'm thinking I should start to think of a solution about soulseek crashing my computer: within the last couple of hours I lost about 30k of notes on step-mothers (in french it translates to belle-mères =beautiful mothers) interesting psy notes about the child getting in charge of the life of a parent (this oedipan subject being big ez analysis pov for the french canadian cinema) + about 10k of notes on how regis was pathetic on david letterman (I just found out I can catch this show, made me remember it's a nice source of mainstream info but it's not guaranteed I'll tune in again.)

sltzky : ya ha :-)
but as I said sort of , mainstream media of empire being cnn letterman stern etc I don't know, at the end of the day .. . is it like getting drunk to create philosophical concepts: will I have to get in my old age before realizing it didn't really helped me after all, and even worse it was bad on my health and prevented me to be all I can be?

― Sébastien Chikara (Sébastien Chikara), Friday, 12 September 2003 03:53 (twenty-two years ago)

but how can you create philosophical concepts without at least a taste of what people spend their time observing? I mean obviously you could go and do it anyway, but is it possible/desirable to sequester yourself from the world?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 12 September 2003 04:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Aww no, give me more credit than this yo! :-)
I hope I didn't came across as some sort of suis generis visionary because I'm all about info processing.

Yes it's tricky : like who got the biggest political impact: humour of letterman or humour of onion (havent check this site for a long time too). I mean, you are right in a way, there are other ways to get at da zeitgeist: like before checking tonite's letterman show I wasn't feeling that much out of touch, getting the pulse in here, or on different "emancipation of the working class friendly media or from the avreage 700k of info I process everyday (mailing list, web sites, correspondance I keep on delaying, etc)
Also, variation of antique themes /techniques of existence never get out of fashion :-)
(unless they are proven to be badly formulated but that'll have to be for another time)

Pepper is so skinny :/ I don't think she's eaten since she came back from the vet. She's all hollowed out.

No, Sam, I'm not veggie, though I rarely eat red meat. It's because Mom cannot stand red meat, so the only time I would have it would be in hamburger form, either as a hamburger itself or as Hamburger Helper. I think the total number of times I've had a steak dinner can be counted on one hand. But I do love chicken and seafood, so I'm not veggie, though I do appreciate veggie cuisine. :)

Other thoughts (which have nothing to do with the above paragraph as I lurve Sam muchly):

God, I'm really starting to not be able to stand you anymore, you know that? No, you don't, because you're clueless. You are utterly, immeasurably clueless, and I can't stand that anymore. So I'm not as good as SHE is. So I'm not as sophisticated or worldly or accomplished or knowledgable about stuff. Even so, I would appreciate you at least acknowledging me, you cow. I thought we had a nice friendship thing going. Guess not, not until you can prove to me that you still bloody care. You git. You twit. I deserve more of your presence than you're apparently willing to give out and I will not stand for being considered merely a second class citizen in your little universe.

I'm really sick of my internet service going off for hours at a time, particularly since I don't even have a working modem anymore, and so can't shrug and run a line down the hall and log on through the school's dial-up. The cable company has not been enthusiastic about sending anyone out, since it keeps coming back, but is supposedly doing so tomorrow "between eight and six."
