The party was GREAT, pink. Lots of loud music and drink and good friends.

It is going to be ok, Huck. Who cares? Nobody got me anything for my birthday at work, not even a card. There always has to be that one person who initiates it - goes out, gets a card, forces everyone at gunpoint to sign it. And then, as you might have read here, I basically forced my boss to get me something like a week after my birthday.

I know, I just wanted to gripe about it before I shrugged it off. I'm very small and petty like that.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 22 December 2003 15:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Well that's good to hear sarah!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 22 December 2003 15:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Today is my last day.

Oh yeah, I think I forgot to tell you guys... There's this one lady who interviewed who went on and on about how her current boss is mean to her and makes her cry. That's why she was looking for a new job. Then she asked me, "Ok, honestly, what is it like working for him? I don't want to jump from the frying pan into the fire, you know." I told her like it is. Then my boss was going to offer her the job, but she backed out. Good for her. The one he ended up hiring is a real tough cookie. She'll set him straight.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 22 December 2003 15:30 (twenty-two years ago)

By what you have said in the past, i think a 'tough cookie' is what is needed!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 22 December 2003 15:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh heh. Rah for Sarah!

i spent *all day* doing this:

http://homepage.mac.com/radio_free_albemuth/PhotoAlbum21.html

unpacking boxes, making a huge mess in order to put things in some kind of order; now i have a temporarily set-up room in the new place. the only cheerful thing about it are my Powerpuffs, which nestled nicely on the built-in shelf.

i haven't painted the walls yet, tomorrow is Xmas eve and i have to go to the hardware store, grocery shopping, wrap more presents, all before 1pm. Arrgghh why am i still awake??!!!

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 23 December 2003 09:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I wondered what happened to this thread? In it's temporary absence I was forced to update my blog.

Sarah congrats on everything wrapping well for you guys.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 23 December 2003 09:57 (twenty-two years ago)

i get out of work 2 hours early! gee thanks!

― El Santo Claus (Kingfish), Wednesday, 24 December 2003 19:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Yo Tep, where you at?
Holla back.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 24 December 2003 19:17 (twenty-two years ago)

For some reason, not that many people seem to be online at 9:00 PM on xmas eve. Hmmm. My family is watching some stupid romantic comedy, so I'm holed up in the freezing cold basement playing on the computer. Maybe I should look for a job. Hmmm.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 25 December 2003 02:05 (twenty-two years ago)

(oops, Tep is apparently done with ILX)

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 26 December 2003 02:53 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm forced to be on my desktop due to having left my laptop cord at school. Haven't used this machine in ages. Proof: Opened Photoshop and in the recent documents list was this old-ass photo of Tom that he had me resize once:

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-11/510914/tom.gif

he looks like a skater!

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Friday, 26 December 2003 03:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey kiddos! Hope all my fave ilxors are doing ok. Hope yuo all had a good Christmas. We found out 2 days before Christmas that someone has pulled out of our housing chain, so now I am not sure what will happen with the house. If it all falls through that is pretty much our chance of becoming houseowners gone.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 29 December 2003 10:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey chaps,

Pinky, that's terrible - hope it doesn't prove to be the case.

I'm back in work today, which is okay I guess, though I'd rather be at home snuggling with muh honey. Especially as it is the most UGLY day outside - heavy rain and a biting cold wind. Welcome to 2004 (almost).

As ever, I'm away from the internet most of the day, so emails to mark at casar0tt0 dot uk dot com (replace 0s with os) very very very welcome, especially as I forgot to bring in any CDS :(

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 29 December 2003 10:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, it sucks being back at work doesn't it?! My hotmail seems to be playing up today, boo!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 29 December 2003 10:26 (twenty-two years ago)

haven't been around much lately, my wifes grandfather did die and its been a rough christmas. but a good one in some ways.

― Chris 'Knuckle Deep' V. (Chris V), Monday, 29 December 2003 15:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Awww Chris. *hugs*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 29 December 2003 15:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey Poops. I'm waiting for a grandmother to die at the moment (worst case scenario = 2 grandmothers on the way out) and it's not fun. My dad was very subdued all Christmas - all he can do is wait for the inevitable phone call. She's in Italy so he can't even be by her bedside. Anyway, sympathy and manly hugs from me too.

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 29 December 2003 16:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Love & hugs to all of you - Chris, I'm sorry about your wife's granddad, and Pinky, I'm keeping my fingers crossed about the house. Me, I had a rough weekend, but onward and upward, right?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 29 December 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna - bigs hugs for you pretty lady. xxx

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 29 December 2003 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

It is my intention to do as little real work as possible today, to punish my bosses for making us work this week.

Go.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 29 December 2003 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

That was my plan, but i have loads to do. :-(

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 12:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I have followed that plan to the letter! Last piece of work done - sorting out script binders and paperclips from the big mixed-up pile created by the end of year script recycling.

Luna, hugs and thanks for looking after my better half :)

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 12:53 (twenty-two years ago)

my nose hurts
and i keep coughing despite antibiotics and cough syrup.
this is awful.. :-(
*a-choo!*

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 06:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Bless you. I'm sorry - I'm sick, too - hope it gets better soooooooooon... xx

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 06:48 (twenty-two years ago)

thx for the thots--
and here, have a tissue... :-)

i hope you are better soon also.

this is a big bucket o' no-fun, and it makes me not sleep, which is bad.

this is the thread where i banish all sickness!

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 06:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd like to say that I'd like to post on ILE again, even though I know there are at least a couple of people here who would punch me square in the face if they ever met me.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 06:52 (twenty-two years ago)

No they wouldn't.

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 06:53 (twenty-two years ago)

haha I guess no more than I would actually punch the people I hate on ILX.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 07:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Keeeeeenan!

(that's Hello in fever-speak)

plz no punching.

however plz remove sinuses, expertly.

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 07:06 (twenty-two years ago)

plz no punching.

Oh, yes, punching. You don't think Millar would love to see blood running into my mouth?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 07:25 (twenty-two years ago)

nah.

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 07:26 (twenty-two years ago)

i would pay to see the two of you go at it.

BRING IT ON

;)

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 07:26 (twenty-two years ago)

i went to bed TWICE already and i still can't sleep.
forget the cough syrup, i'm into the Capt. Morgan's now!

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 08:06 (twenty-two years ago)

you go girl.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 08:07 (twenty-two years ago)

i will take pics of my kitchen,
digital at midnight;
fresh paint growing green
over walls of plaster.

rum swirls in the glass,
spiced and warm;
photographer's companion.

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 08:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Orbit, I really love the way you put words together.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 08:38 (twenty-two years ago)

*blursh*

aw, thanks! :-)
it just kinda comes out like that...

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 08:40 (twenty-two years ago)

*burp*

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 09:19 (twenty-two years ago)

kenan, how does that sea salt compare to kosher salt? i use kosher, am curious abt sea.

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 09:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Really no difference in taste... and really no difference at all. When cooking, salt melts. So while the grain is larger in sea salt, it makes no difference in the final product.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 09:46 (twenty-two years ago)

dammit i am still awake!
codeine cough syrup and 5 shots of rum and
still awake!
not sure if i can take trazodone on top of all this to sleep..
aaarrrgggggg
*sniffle**cough*

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 09:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Hope you are feeling better soon Orbit! *hugs*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 10:04 (twenty-two years ago)

thx!
:-)

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 10:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh & hugs to anyone else that needs 'em!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 10:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I would like to see an ILX fite, I have to say. In shaky quicktime video. Can you arrange it, Kenan?

My flatmate has the FUNNIEST picture of a cat ever on his digital camera. I am trying to get him to break his lurkerdom to post it. Go on foxy, you know you want to...

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 10:53 (twenty-two years ago)

As funny as the movie of the cat jumping on the little kid?

Hey markus, how was the film?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 10:56 (twenty-two years ago)
