Oh, sometimes I am chatty. And I don't have your screen name. Etc.

(But if you or anyone else wants to say hi, I'm themin0rth!rds, but not googleproofed. Try me if I'm set to "away", I set it there when I'm "in and out" often.)

(Even though I should go to bed soon, since I'm going to a class early in the morning.)

Well I'll be damned.

I learned a ton about sushi just now.

I'm going to a class early in the morning.

Me, too. *yawn*

I had a lovely time at dinner last night. "Chris" is very nice. Nick and Sarah, too, but I totally already knew that.

Sorry I looked a bit like death, at least according to the bathroom mirror there. That food was yum though.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 14:38 (twenty years ago)

"Chris"

― gbx (skowly), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 14:53 (twenty years ago)

The food was absolutely delicious.

Sarah, you looked fine, but you seemed very frail. Nick too. Poor fuckers. Poor sick frail fuckers....

Hi! I'm back. I feel extremely disoriented today. Part of that could be that I've been reading that Karen Armstrong book about myth (got it from the library on my field trip with the stoods on Sat.) and not only is it absolutely NOT as difficult to understand as the rest of her books, it's like an E-Z version of ancient history. I've learned so many things! It's great. Recommended for anyone interested in a quick and easy read about the history of human-deity relations from the Paleolithic age to the present.

I feel like I've been gone forever. It's really only been 2 days, I guess.

Also, dudes, Spinal Tap is the funniest movie ever. One more thing: I am STILL SICK and have a yucky scratchy voice. Not as bad though.

Ugh. I feel you Amanda. I am definitely getting sick, but I couldn't call in today because I have a few things that absolutely have to get done. And I have to meet Maddie's dad for dinner and play a three hour gig tonight.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 15:18 (twenty years ago)

HI!!!! Amanda, I missed you!

― R. Kelsey (kelstarry), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 15:18 (twenty years ago)

Whee!

It has been a really weird weekend --I heard about two surprising new romances, a completely unforeseen breakup with rather serious consequences...I'm having doubts about whether or not I'm actually done with school (thinking of getting my teachering certificate for the K-12 system). The moon must be in a special cycle of general upheaval or something.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 15:28 (twenty years ago)

I'm single now...and it's weird. Good in some ways, weird in others.
I may be in Chicago next weekend (the 11th) with my dad and stepmom for some family time while in job limboland. They tend to retire early so if anyone wants to meet up for drinks, etc. let me know. I will know more details soon.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 15:39 (twenty years ago)

When did this happen, Jocelyn?

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 15:40 (twenty years ago)

(btw, my band is playing at the Green Mill on the 11th)

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 15:40 (twenty years ago)

OMG -- see? That's another breakup for this weekend, and I just heard about another one just about 5 minutes ago! Jocelyn, I'm sorry to hear that, but you sound like you're doing alright - are you alright?

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 15:40 (twenty years ago)

(Poxy fuled)
I'm alright. Friday night. I just realized that our lives were going in different directions and that I needed time to myself to think about some stuff, and to work and study, and he wasn't allowing me any of that time. Also, I was starting to feel like a mom instead of a girlfriend. I'm keeping myself very busy and doing all the stuff I want to do for myself, like working out and reading three books at a time and making strange food concoctions.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 15:55 (twenty years ago)

That happens, I guess -- better that it happens now than 10 years down the road.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 16:19 (twenty years ago)

Oh no, I'm sorry, Jocelyn. :(

You should definitely come to the Green Mill with us (that's when I'm going, at least).

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 16:26 (twenty years ago)

How long were you guys together, Jocelyn (if you don't mind my asking)?

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 16:55 (twenty years ago)

Jocelyn, I have been where you are -- I'm sure lots of us have, but in particular that's how my last one ended. So congratulations to you (whether it feels like or or not) and really do enjoy the hell outta your Personal Jocelyn Time, now that you have it. Drop me a line any time you like.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:00 (twenty years ago)

You're very brave, jocelyn. I'm sorry I won't be here when you might visit. I'm going to Memphis that weekend to visit me mum avec ma sister Hev.

Jenny, last weekend I felt like a sick cat. You know how a sick cat walks all stiff like with its back arched? Well I did that, walking across the living room to get water from the kitchen. Nick was like, "uh, sarah, what are you doing?" and I was like, "duh, walking like a sick cat."

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:01 (twenty years ago)

You mean, like, on all fours?

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:03 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha. I didn't go that far. I was acting, but it required some imagination on the part of the audience as well.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:05 (twenty years ago)

Jordan, what do you play? (have we gone over this before? I dont think so)

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:15 (twenty years ago)

I play drums, and in the brass band I play bass drum most of the time.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:16 (twenty years ago)

You play trumpet, right?

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:16 (twenty years ago)

yeah, or I did thru college (meaning I haven't for almost a year now). I feel guilty about not still playing. I was pretty good for a while! In high school I used to practice like 3 hours a day. College destroyed my motivation in a wave of partying : (

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:18 (twenty years ago)

oh fleeting enjoyment

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:18 (twenty years ago)

anyway cool that yr playing at the green mill. Tell me more about it...?

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:20 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, you should come to the Green Mill, deej.

We had band practice last night w/o Matt or Megan, so we worked on some "nuggets" (new song ideas that haven't yet been fully fleshed out). One of them now has a disco chorus (which is hilarious, b/c Elizabeth told Colin "give it sort of a Phoenix feel," and what he played was perfect, and then he confessed, "I've never even heard Phoenix") -- and the other song to me sounds really late 90s alt-rock/emo. But AWESOME.

Mmmmm. Nugget.

Is that weed?

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:34 (twenty years ago)

It's gold!

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:34 (twenty years ago)

Wow. I need to get my eyes checked.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:35 (twenty years ago)

Or maybe recalibrate my monitor!

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:35 (twenty years ago)

Good weed is way more valuable per ounce than gold.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:40 (twenty years ago)

I thought it was weed too.

Deej, I play in Mama Digd0wn's Brass Band, which is a New Orleans style brass band with sousaphone, two drummers, trumpets & trombones, etc. We're playing the 10th and the 11th at the Green Mill, three sets per night. We usually start out playing traditionals there and move into the street stuff as the night goes on, although I think they were a little concerned about us being too loud last time. Our trumpet player is really really good.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:40 (twenty years ago)

I just said the word "nugget" over and over while I was in the bathroom until it started to sound really weird.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:42 (twenty years ago)

That sounds awesome. I should go.

My jazz band in college played with Bobby Broom, who I know plays at the Green Mill regularly. He's a nice guy! And incredible player obv.

This makes me want to practice again.

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:42 (twenty years ago)

Uhhh should go to the green mill that is, not the bathroom.

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:42 (twenty years ago)

Yeah Deej, you should definitely come.

Nugget.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:44 (twenty years ago)

I just said the word "nugget" over and over while I was in the bathroom until it started to sound really weird.

I did the same kind of thing in the car yesterday with the word "Muqtada."

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:45 (twenty years ago)

I will try to make it to the Green Mill. I might bring my dorky dad! He loves jazz.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:45 (twenty years ago)

Have you ever done that w the word "bag"? I think thats the funniest sounding common word. "Bag."

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:46 (twenty years ago)

Mug is weird too.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:46 (twenty years ago)

What the hell, I think I have Smell-O-Vision. As soon as the nugget appeared on-screen, I breathed in through my nose, and the air smelled like spicy fried chicken -- or maybe Filet-O-Fish.

I should probably now listen to Yo La Tengo's Electr-O-Pura
