Holy shit, I just bought a fucking dining table set.

― Jordan (Jordan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 22:35 (twenty years ago)

Holy shit, you're totally married.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 23:08 (twenty years ago)

We don't even have a dining room and we're married. We eat on the coffee table in the living room.

― Jeff. (Jeff), Sunday, 5 March 2006 23:57 (twenty years ago)

It's okay, we still have a rickety futon instead of a couch.

Maddie bought a wine rack too, but, uh, the holes are too big for wine bottles. We think it's a champagne rack, maybe?

― Jordan (Jordan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 23:58 (twenty years ago)

Or maybe a bad wine rack.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Monday, 6 March 2006 00:03 (twenty years ago)

Good morning. I had a terrible night: after waking up at 2 with one of the three worst headaches of my entire life, I wasn't able to get back to sleep for a couple hours, convinced that I was having an aneurysm (caused by my take-home exam, maybe?!?!?! it was THAT hard) and didn't get nearly enough sleep. Also, I don't think it's a great idea for me to drink beers with a headache that might come back, so I hope no one is too disappointed if I call off the Moody's fun-time fireplace-and-beer party?

How were everyone's Oscar parties? Oh wait, you're not up yet.

Or maybe a bad wine rack.

I was trying to be an optimist.

Good morning. Maddie and I actually ended up going over to Evan's to watch the Oscars, and it was good fun. Good people, good beers, good food, good jokes.

headache + beers = :(

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 6 March 2006 14:37 (twenty years ago)

Boo!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:16 (twenty years ago)

Sorry man, I really don't feel good! Why donchoo email me - handymanda at geeeeemail.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:18 (twenty years ago)

Kenan came over.

I enjoyed Jon Stewart. I thought Reese and Drew should be BFF if they aren't already. The "It's so hard bein' a pimp" song had funny choreography, as did the Crash theme song.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:23 (twenty years ago)

The Crash set/dance/song was the worst thing I've ever seen (esp. the "police molestation dance").

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:24 (twenty years ago)

I mean, also "boo!" that you don't feel good.

We missed the early parts of the Oscars. Were there any OMG AWEXXXOME John Stewart moments then that I should try and download?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:27 (twenty years ago)

Hmm... I can't think of one in particular. He was pretty tame, but still funny. Kenan kept complaining they made him look old with makeup.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:28 (twenty years ago)

I thought there were some good JS moments.

"Do you think that if we toppled that big Oscar statue, democracy would flourish in Hollywood?"

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:30 (twenty years ago)

sorry i couldn't make it last night, nick, sarah & kenan! from saturday on I was pretty convinced I was getting the stomach flu.

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:31 (twenty years ago)

He is old.

We are all old.

I am way too old.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:31 (twenty years ago)

And after the big self-righteous "Hollywood makes movies about IMPORTANT ISSUES, thus making the world BETTER" montage:

(very slowly and seriously) "...and none of those were ever issues again." etc.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:32 (twenty years ago)

OH, I just remembered another one.

After a really long montage about epics, he said something to the effect of, "We're now officially out of film clips. Seriously, if you have ANY film clips at home, please mail them to us as soon as possible." Also: "Coming up next we will have a montage about film montages."

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:35 (twenty years ago)

Like with most big TV events, I watched about 5 minutes of the Oscars. But I did see the moment that Jordan just quoted, and it was enough for me.

My weekend in WI was fun. Door County is pretty nice this time of year, (the bed and breakfast was cheap yet opulent) but I don't know if I'd want to be there when the touristas are out in full force.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:38 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha. What's up with giving best actor and actress awards to people who do impressions? Also, Crash?

Jaymc: high heels
=
Me: Oscars

Traveling off-season: classic.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:38 (twenty years ago)

Wow, I thought you were just going to Milwaukee.

How cheap is cheap, if you don't mind my asking? I've never stayed in a B&B, but I love both of those things.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:39 (twenty years ago)

I liked PSHoffman's winning best actor, even though I didn't see Capote.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:40 (twenty years ago)

I did see Capote, and liked it, but still -- I guess it just seems cheap that both awards went to people in biopics.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:44 (twenty years ago)

I was hypnotized by Reese Witherspoon's freaky prehensile eyebrow.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:46 (twenty years ago)

Jesse and I took the trip to Milwaukee yesterday. To go to a bookstore. Which we spent HOURS at, and could have easily spent hours more at. Because it was a fantastic bookstore. Although Jesse did have to excuse himself at some point to take pictures of deer frozen into the river.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:49 (twenty years ago)

Cheap = $80/night. Bear in mind that this is in a mansion and we were the only people there besides the hosts. Breakfast each morning, for what we had, would probably have cost upwards of 40 bucks each day. There was an in-room whirlpool and free wireless. No in room TV but a big media room where again, we were the only users. All in all it was great. The price goes up (doubles?) in the warmer months, btw. xxpost

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:50 (twenty years ago)

The Crash set/dance/song was the worst thing I've ever seen.

Oof. I know. I thought the dancing hookers for the pimp song were real fucking classy, too. Also, somehow I still fail to have any pimp-sympathy.

Thank you for the invite, N&S&K. Alas, I had to do laundry and read for class while watching, so could not incorporate leaving our apartment into the plans. Jeff and I both really wanted to come over, though, and we decided that it would be very helpful to us if you both would just move into our building.

xpost: OMG the eyebrow! THE EYEBROW! What was that all about?????

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:50 (twenty years ago)

Also, Jen Garner's makeup made it look like she had a horrible sunburn on her forehead.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:55 (twenty years ago)

That's right. She lets me call her Jen.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Monday, 6 March 2006 15:56 (twenty years ago)

Pimpathy.

OMG Chris, what bookstore are you talking about?

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:00 (twenty years ago)

W00dl@nd P@tt3rn.

I'm googleproofing it because it is shy.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:01 (twenty years ago)

Best if you like: experimental 20th C. poetry. Also good for: A fiction section that is huge and has nothing you've heard of, or, as my friend pointed out, only the obscure books by people you've heard of. A bookstore where they had several books by people I knew on display. (They also had haikunym's books, but not on display. I didn't explore the children's section beyond that, because we were starving by then.)

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:03 (twenty years ago)

i watched most of the oscars but missed the pimp dance and the speech before/after somehow because i got bored and went online for a bit and was reading about this pic, which amused me.

http://cache.deadspin.com/sports/ooopstexas.jpg

it's not really nsfw, i would think, because you kind of have to look twice for what they are saying is an optical illusion.

― Juulia (julesbdules), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:06 (twenty years ago)

I am overloaded from the Oscars and then going out with Kenan, Chris, and Jesse. Soooo tired.

Disappointed about Crash, obv.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:07 (twenty years ago)

Wow, I'm not familiar with that place at all.

Every time I've been to Milwaukee there's been some kind of interesting underground music/theater/literature thing going on - very different feel than Chicago because it's actually underground there instead of something that's expected of its citizens.

Get well, Manda! The fries will wait. Perhaps the beer garden will be open soon.

I didn't see much of the Oscars, but I did see the Crash dance.

― Eazy (Eazy), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:10 (twenty years ago)

The afterparty was a thick slice of overload, but in a good way. At least for my unemployed ass.

Juliaa, whaa?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:11 (twenty years ago)

Julia... Whoa! Is it an optical illusion because it's really the underside of his shorts fabric? I am positive that dudes keep their junk strapped in tight when they are running and jumping and quickly changing direction. You can see his compression shorts under his uniform shorts, so that would have to be a donger with a mind of its own to get out of there and say hello to the crowd.

My first thought was that you were posting the pic because the guy taking the shot was wearing boots. Ha!

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:14 (twenty years ago)

Maybe he has two.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:15 (twenty years ago)

One is tightly strapped (the one that works) and the other one just flops around for laffs?

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:16 (twenty years ago)

We're going to talk about basketball in labor law today. I wonder if there's any way I can bring up this photo...

xpost: A parasitic donger! Gross!

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:16 (twenty years ago)

Something similar happened to one of my friends in high school - he had gone to visit his girlfriend's family and they took a photo of him and a her and a few others siiting on a living room couch, and he was wearing shorts and no drawers, and...

― Eazy (Eazy), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:20 (twenty years ago)

the word "donger" is inherently funny somehow.

it was on the front page of some paper before anyone noticed what they say is just an optical illusion with something about the photography and the light and whatever. still, amusing.
