TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

tell her how you can't wait to move to usa so that you'll never have to be annoyed by her dumb irritatingness anymore.

HAHA she already thinks it's totally weird what i'm doing and has no real comprehension of it at all.

OH SHIT i almost forgot to tell you guys:

one of the crazy old drunkk women who called me FUCKING RUDE last weekend came in for dinner last night! she was in my section but i don't think she recognised me - i was super nice to her, and get this:
me: what would you like to drink tonight?
her: ooohhh... i've been drinking beer so i should probably stick to that... i mixed red wine and beer last weekend and ended up... rather sick (giggles)

me: (in my head) AND IT ALSO MADE YOU FUCKING OBNOXIOUS

we can all take pleasure in the thought of her misery (giggles)

you're absolutely right.

ok time to go to work. sigh. send me positive vibes and manifest me an easy night. i can't be fucked with troublesome ppl this evening.

byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Y'alright guys? you should go and see Mike Leigh's new movie "Happy-Go-Lucky" because it's gorgeous and not even slightly miserable.

so my friend turned up but she only stayed for about 20mins, then i had a token drink with my coworkers and then i skived off with adam. so it was okay in the end - lingbert, if you sent positive vibes my way, they actually worked.

xpost to lingbert - you know, my night was okay but I wound up going to bed early because I was annoyed about something entirely unrelated to my usual boring activities (a phone call). But I do get RESTLESS AND UNSASTIFIED often enough. Last night I was more ANNOYED AND GUILTY (although the guilt is objectively unjustified and I know it)

Also hi to RR and Mark C!

I woke up to snow on the ground so as soon as I can get both kids ensconced in Saturday morning cartoons, I'm going to hide in my bed again. A. wants to get up and run 12 miles. I want to avoid homework for a while more.

go back to bed, sara! you deserve a sleep-in!

Last night I saw me some bands including one from Teh Minneapolis who know Matt H. of these parts, and they were friendly and talented duders who all should know:

Name chosen a couple of years back, well before ANYONE knew about Vampire Frickin' Weekend.

Oh yeah, and my dinner beforehand with all them radish recipes I mentioned:

FANCY

RR, yes, I went back to bed and now I'm all groggy from having slept way too much. (YAY!)

Ned - I have heard Vampire Hands on The Current (local radio station). I remember the first time I heard them because they were also going to play a band called "Mouth Full of Bees" and A. and I were like WOW ARE THESE BAND NAMES FOR REAL?!

A+ , with special note of the paper napkin

A key touch, always.

Meantime, an example of poor phrasing or regional dialect variation, or both -- in an otherwise heartfelt memorial to someone who had tragically passed early that I was reading, it was noted that said person was "the first to start a family game of baseball or corn hole in the backyard." I fear the visions this called up were not what was intended.

Oh dear, part of that that really should have been redacted.

I just like the idea of a family reunion game where the older relatives are on the back porch in the shade, sipping on a drink, watching the festivities..."If I were a younger man I'd be out there right now, giving it the best I could....C'MON THERE BOB, PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT!"

"Mom, how come I can't play?"

"Hush now, Lisa, boys will be boys."

wow guys i just realized i have the most awesomest roomies ever. a part on my toilet broke and one of my roommates went out and bought a part to fix it. it was the wrong part, but how nice considering he doesn't even use that toilet!

also hi, happy saturday, i do not want to go to work tonight :( bye bye spring break.

Vampire Hands is a great band, but pale in comparison to the even more interestingly named Gay Witch Abortion

Hooray for Minneapolis band names. You may be too young to remember Skullfuck.

Between that and the backyard corn hole games, my mind is porridge.

It is kind of dismaying.

Ned's mind, I mean.

:-(

mmmm porridge.

also mmmm ned's dinner

mmmm eating Ned's branes

that made me puke a little in my throat

i am pretty drunk, as justine will testify.

you waster, you signed out of gchat! where'd ya go??

I am at work but leaving after intermission. Maybe tonight can still be salvaged?

I hope it can! I am just going to stay at home and read my textbooks and probably watch Cloverfield again, only this time with the Rifftrax. Whee!

Rifftrax was amusing but not brilliant. I suppose I should attempt to get to studying, but... naaaaah.

my annoying friend last night turned up looking like a transvestite from the 80s:

dead straight fringe and roots, with perma curls at the ends; bright red lippy inexpertly applied; blue eyeshadow and super thick black eyeliner; mini dress (girl's got BIG thighs - not fat but BIG); pale gold plastic peep-toe 4inch heels. it was pretty scary.

(says the girl with the big-enough-to-potentially-be-my-unborn-twin zit sprouting off her face)

uggggh dudes I think I left my package in a taxi
said package contained $140 worth of DVDs
I laugh because I have plenty of beer in the fridge, no kids, no mortgage, and can easily buy the same thing again and say out loud fuck you world

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I win?

LOL

oh wait american taxis aren't like nz taxis? cuz i've done that before and always gotten my stuff back. fucking americans.
