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

HI I AM BORED

Hi I am wasting time!

Hi I am full, I had some of this tonight:

http://nedraggett.wordpress.com/2008/05/25/california-zucchini-bake/

It is good to know that Ned is out there in the kitchen somewhere. And that he's enjoying it!

i am watching zodiac now. good so far! god, i heart mark ruffalo so much.

We only got through about half an hour of Mean Girls. We are in the middle of planning a trip with another family to Disney World for next Thanksgiving, and the time frame for making food reservations starts tomorrow. So it's been phone calls back and forth all day.

Also, I have failed to study much.

I'm afraid to see Zodiac, btw!

Okay, I have now posted on the UTI thread, which must be a sign that I should get to bed. Or at least go away and pretend to study.

'Night all.

do you guys like the movie star trek iv? because it rules and fuck you if you think otherwise

I feel like that should be the actual mod policy
we run a poll STAR TREK IV AWESOME OR NOT and everybody who votes NOT is run down and shot in the back of the fucking head for the crime of not being worth another motherfucking minute of my motherfucking time (bonus - guess which noun would go here and win a free grimace air freshener for your vehicle)

good weekend so far

tehresa i <3 mark ruffalo too! i also thought zodiac was really good - different from most films about serial killers. just got home and have a huge pile of dvds to entertain me.

I went to ballgame with Dr Morbius and 69!!!

i'm looking forward to my first experience of watching a big football game in the US.

baseball soooooo much better than football. but you hate cricket so you wouldn't understand.

bah, it's all the same to me: men in tight pants crying over stupid their stupid balls.

balls are important.

although, as a rule, i am opposed to tight trousers.

No, that's opera.

"La noia, le mie sfere è triste," the noted aria from I Pantaloni Stretti

woken up by scary noises outside my door AGAIN and can't get back to sleep. AND i'm so fucking thirsty, my water bottle is empty and i'm too much of a scaredy-cat to risk unlocking my door and going inside.

awww :(

sara, zodiac is not actually as scary as you'd think it'd be. give it a watch!

ruby, i recommend you go for the awesomest sport of all: basketball. who needs helmets or bats? pure human strength is better. and also less confusing to watch than football. baseball is boring unless you're actually at the game.

i actually pretty much dislike all sports, but jordan is a huge USC fan so i feel like i should give football-watching a chance. but that's where i draw the line. lucky for me he's not really into other sports, so i don't mind putting a little effort into this one small thing for him.

jordan is a huge USC fan

WHAT. I should have fined him five times as much.

hahaha Ned.

Okay, I will add Zodiac to my netflix queue, but who knows when I will get to it.

Tom, I don't like to admit this, but I have not seen any Star Trek movies to my memory. I have seen a few episodes of one of the television series... not even sure which one.

God, sometimes I don't know how I have missed so much pop culture.

RR - I would prefer watching basketball to football myself.

argh sara, this is even more reason you need to come drink with me!

The lack of enough movie/tv watching over the past two decades or the basketball over football preference? (Maybe this all has to do with having dated a football player through high school...?)

basketball over football preference

But I SO wish I could come drink with you because it would be so fun!

Also, Thursday my life turns into several days of hell, and I think I could probably use the drinks and drinking company.

xpost Ah, clarity!

ruby you should at least go to a baseball game. the crappy food's great! everyone sings together! it is the best most inclusive most fun usa sport to see, partly for the above and partly because it's a reason to sit outside on a nice day

sara: seriously. stow away with john! profs will have to give you an extension if you get 'kidnapped' right?

lol, I can imagine explaining that.... "Remember my friend John, from high school who I told you about who got scurvy in college? Well, he's also a KIDNAPPER! And that's how I wound up in New York..."

I wish I could go, too, but honestly I just need to finish up this class so that I can get to "summer vacation." I'd take the final today and start clinicals tomorrow if I could, just to get this all over with.

you can get through this! if i did, you can!

oh yes and i got letter yesterday re: that scholarship. $1000!

/braggin 08

OMG AWESOME!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Also, thank you for the cheerleading!

I am really lucky to have A+ support from my husband and other people in the program - but it's almost even better to have A+ support from people who are far away and who are not forced to live with me. Because why should you all care?! SO THANKS!!!

:D you will be awesome!
and thank YOU!

Yay tehresa and money! The better to have a bigger end-of-June party with.

all of what you said (minus husband part) = ditto

well it actually gets applied evenly to the 2 semesters next year.. but we can pretend i'm loaded!

School is so terrifyingly expensive. That extra $1,000 will definitely help you!

Yay, good news all around.

In other news I actually scored on Freecycle today: gunmetal grey table and matching chairs, they are all gloss painted this colour and they are on my balcony right now. Next stage: lavenderrosemaryparsleychivesthymesage in various pots.

Ooh sounds lovely!

Yay suzy! It sounds like you are having a great weekend. I loooooove lavender in particular.

Farmer I work for starting next weekend sells potted herbs and has offered me startups AND a bag of the soil they normally grow in because it's a giant pain to buy soil in the middlemost middle of central London. Now I just need, y'know, pots and plant holders. Christ on a bike, I have to go to a garden center. Shudder.

Table and chairs are set up on balcony (my block is totally '50s) and right now on the tabletop is 2x little lanterns with tealights, red flowerpot waiting for some kind of plant, and one of those classic red bug candles. I've been here since December so it's VERY nice to finally be able to sit out there. Also good is that nothing in balcony space ever gets wet.

the awesomest sport of all: basketball

RONG

ned, jordan went to USC, as did his brother, for his undergrad and UC irvine for post grad. so it's a given. we go back to chicago to watch the big game in september with the whole family (oh shit i've forgotten who they're playing).

jergz, how bout this: i will time my eventual seattle visit to coincide with a baseball game and you and me and lxy and lingbert and remy and jaq can all go.

i am going to accept that proposition on behalf of seattle, ruby.

HURRAY! come to seattle soon!
(or, alternatively: HURRY! come to seattle soon!)

Sounds so awesome, suzy!

God, Seattle FAP is making me ENVY.

I'm off to go to a study group for the evening in Mpls. If I didn't have to drive home, I think I'd be bringing vast amounts of wine, beer, or liquor to this one... but sadly, I do have to drive back.
