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

teh, i don't think it was failure in the grand scheme, though, and i like that you got game.

if you want snow, you will feel cheated by our winters, too. not to be discouraging at all, it's very nice here.

i have heard that about mpls too.

xp to dz: no

Mpls/St. Paul is pretty... tiny compared to, say, NYC or even Chicago.

Seattle always sounds totally awesome to me...

tbh i've only been there once, but i fell in love with it.

i spent two weeks there a coupla years ago and could have settled but yo' government was all like "no dude, you have to leave". so i left. :(

and i would very much like some devo-esque jolly whizbanging ship action yes please.

portland, OG is better than seattle anyway

seattle is for yuppies like jergins & lxy

only jergins is a yuppie, lxy is something else

DONT MAKE START HANDING OUT TIME OUTS ON THE ORIGNAL GOOD TIMES THREAD HERE PEOPLE

guize i am reading the "tap water should be free grrr" / "no it shouldn't grrr" discussion over yonder and am hankering after some of that cel-ray magic juice. a quick google suggests a likely fruitless hunt this side of the pond however:

Results 1 - 10 of about 10,400 for cel-ray. (0.27 seconds) - the web
Results 1 - 10 of about 134 for cel-ray. (0.07 seconds) - pages from the UK

boooooooo

lol sorry bb i am deeply envious of jergs & lxy both

tehresa, Twin Cities are always banging on about more theatre per capita than anywhere else in America and contemporary art on the international level is v. v. good but not so much with local galleries, which seem frowsy or overearnest amateur if you're used to something more up to date. and if you're on the development hell side of things there, I think the rich people are prob much less assholish than their coastal counterparts.

also look here for tons and tons of fun: http://www.walkerart.org/index.wac

hey you guys want to see my friend shill for Apple?

ja have heard awesome things about walker. i'm more in performing arts, specifically music, than gallery stuff. also more in the marketing end of things than devo. though they do tend to work together a lot.

It often sucks moose balls to live here but have you thought about Boston...?

Walker has loads of live arts stuff going on always. Guthrie is amazing for theatre and occasional other stuff. Music is world-class. But we are all about the architecture for our arts venues now:

awesome!

i've never really considered boston bc people constantly bitch about it!

It always makes me sad to hear about how much people don't like Boston, because I have always wanted to go there so much. (Always = since I was maybe 17... ugh, that means I've been wanting to go for almost 20 years!)

Boston has its good points. I think the issues could be summed up as "bait and switch"; if you go in knowing it's a relatively small, provincial city that has a veneer of cosmopolitanism due to its location, it's a lot less disappointing.

I have been duly warned now!

hey guys, talk more!

HELLO!

Hi! How are you?

I went out for the evening and now I am home and full of sushi. :)

I'm very well! I am at work and full of instant coffee :(

i just had a 2-hr chat with my cousin!

jealous of your sushi, sara!

xp Well, at least you'll stay awake then...

I am considering folding laundry. Midnight is the Procrastination Hour here in Northfield.

tehresa - the sushi was pretty good; I went out with friends to a new place in a suburb of the Twin Cities. 2 hour chats with cousins are also enjoyable - at least if your cousin is cool!

yes, we used to live in rochester and buffalo and would see each other all the time and be silly but now we are in nyc and miami so once a year is the most we generally get to hang. so an every few months mega-call is always fun!

ooh i must do laundry tomorrow, but i've been scared to step outside into the saunaawful heat.

I do laundry every day, basically. BUT I don't have to go outside to do it, so I usually it is just easy. (And I love to do laundry, I just wish I didn't put it off until the middle of every night.)

Cousin sounds cool! I have one (1) cousin that I really enjoy; she lives in St. Paul and I envy her life totally.

morning mericans. i appear to be awake rather early this morn. should i take advantage of the situation and go into work early and thus be able to leave before 5? my job suuuuucks and i would, really, rather not go at all.

i just awoke from a dream where i was walking on the beach with my youngest cousin and he got washed away by a massive wave. pretty terrifying.

yes i super envy this cousin bc she lives in an island across from miami in a brand new luxury condo with her bf who makes $$$ so she doesn't have to work (she used to work but got sick of it so he said she could live off him and go back to school).

i keep putting off laundry bc i have to lug it to laundromat which is not so desirable in this weather.

morning, nick! yes, go in early! get out and enjoy summer evening!

Are we talking up a few hours early? Because this time can be utilized for a long walk followed by a lovingly prepared delicious breakfast.

Seriously, pretending to be a morning person when the opportunity presents itself can be sooooooooo gratifying.

Twill only be an hour early but enough to make a difference to my day. soooo much easier to get going when blue skies and sunshine are beckoning. thy will be done.

aw hi i <3 you all but now i am going to bed xox luv lxy

true, whenever i wake up early and think i'm going to get off to a great start i just end up stretching out coffee/me-time and end up running late!

xpost

aw, night lxy!

oooh, walk and breakfast does sound great, although I would never manage to pull it off myself.

xp my cousin is a twentysomething who works in publishing and wants to be a writer. Also, she has moved from crazy conservative (most of our family) to sane liberal - so I have someone to hang with at some family occasions.

good night lxy!

ps you should all come here all the time okay now for real good night

even deeznuts?

aw lxy is so cuet!

Sara, the secret to the morning walk/breakfast, I think, is to never consider it a goal, because then you never will do it. But if you should happen to get to bed early or have one of those weird nights where sleep is much more effective than usual and find yourself up a couple hours early, then be all "oh, well, I think I'll do that, then."

I might be reppin' the walking because right now, walking is my (2nd) most effective procrastination technique. I'm probably going to end up failing classes and never getting my degree, but I'll have some bitchin' strong legs and hours upon hours of sex advice/public radio/sociology lecture podcast knowledge under my belt.

hmmmmmm, I will try to consider that next time I get teh insomnia. Usually I wake up because my 5 year old insists on it. (Uh, couldn't be because I'm up so late a night, huh...)

Walking is A+, however, and I try to get in 3 5.5 mile walks a week. Usually I do this on my treadmill, but I could do it outside if the weather ever seemed appropriate. (My husband usually is out running in the morning, so it's hard for me to get to do it - someone must be here for the kids!)

Also, I would listen to that podcast.

Okay, I'm going to be lame and go to sleep now. If only so I can be semi conscious when J comes in and wakes me up.

Good night all. May you have great sleep and better breakfasts!

Oh, were it but one. I do have this lecture series about the Sociology of Sexuality that's pretty good stuff. I mean, 200-level sociology class-type stuff that's a bit dry, but pretty good listening just the same.

Did you know that in almost all cultures except modern ones, there was no gay/straight demarcation, only penetrator/penetrated? It's true!

G'night!

night, sara!

yo dudes I am almost done "remastering" ye old college demo trax (thx to nu-gf for making this possible) are you all stoked for the madness of providing silly titles for all these tombot tunes from 97-99

lolcollege demo?! sweet!

there's like 32 of them

I am kind of wavering between "lol shitty mixing and arrangement skilz of young tombot" and "you sad old fucking bastard, you dumped your muse for a steady job"

Stoked.

Englande has made it into the rotation of a couple dance parties around my parts with great success.
