Start a conversation about naming yr tits and put her blog on blast.

wtf. the state offices shut down, and the news is saying if you're at work you should go home now. WHY IS BU STILL OPEN??? WHY AM I STILL HERE??????

Wait, is it snowing there or are you under attack by Aqua Teen Hunger Force again?

it is snowing. we definitely wouldn't get to go home for a terrorist attack.

What was I thinking? THAT WOULD MEAN THE TERRORISTS WIN

I hope you don't have to go too far in too much snow, jessie. Can you just stay in a friend's dorm room if you get stuck?

(This is one of my fears about going to school an hour from my house... being stuck in the Cities overnight without a toothbrush.)

I'm not that far, I just know the T is going to be a total bitch at 5.

Well, that doesn't sound fun. Are you working or do you have to stay for a class? (Not that I'm advocating cutting class here...)

Also, I think my copy of MS Word is traumatized by all the stuff I've been downloading and printing. I opened up a new document and went to save it as "FINAL GIFTS PAPER" - and the application just quit on me. I didn't even have any text in it yet!

On the brighter side, it's not snowing here and I don't have anywhere I really have to be until tomorrow morning.

...and I'm just bumping bumping bumping because I don't want to read my homework; I'd rather try to persuade jessie to cut class, leave work early, or possibly buy an emergency toothbrush.

I'm worrrking. :/

Ugh. That is the worst. Inconvenience due to Making More Money/Keeping Boss Happy...

At least you don't have to drive yourself in it...?

going home at 4!

YAY!

i wroted some good stuff today, chipped a big scene out of the novel. i am increasingly relying on the i ching for advice about my book-writing habits.

case in point: i have been feeling increasingly writers' blocked by a specific insecurity about the pacing of the story (we don't meet the protag. until the third chapter; the first two chapters are the saga of his parents' meeting and dissolving marriage, and i'm worried they're boring, incidental -- writing on them is super-slow and frustrating) and so i threw the yarrow sticks and asked the oracle (hah) if i should continue with the first two sections or give up, move on to the main serious story and come back later.

i got the ninth hexagram, Hsiao Chu, Minor Domestication, which offered interpetations like:

The kettle sits on the stove, but the water will not boil. Clouds come from the west, but the land remains like a desert; we must drink the tea lukewarm. We will find success in accomplishing smaller and lesser things; as for serious matter, it is advised to wait until another day to move forward.

and

Move ahead, but as difficulties come, slow down, be less forceful and more thoughtful. By using moderation you avoid the constant stress Which can wear you down and lessen your effectiveness. Rushing blindly ahead for a quick victory causes continual friction which saps energy.

and

A small farm can be successful. Thick clouds, no rain.

Off the highway, off the road
A trail is blazed through the woods
Useless the wheel with no spokes
The blood of a gelding flows
Rich by association
Downpour someday sure to come

Wind over heaven.

Clouds that bring no rain. Fretful anticipation and discord. Perhaps the smallness of the farm makes drought less catastrophic.

The prognosis is uncertain. But don't sell out.

philip k. dick used to use the i ching to write his books, especially man in the high castle

I had no clue people used the I Ching for writing purposes. Probably because I know nothing about the I Ching.

I'm pretty sure APA formatting is going to drive me to run away from school and become a trucker by the end of this semester.

WE GOT A GREAT BIG CONVOY ALL ACROSS THE LAND WE GOT A GREAT BIG CONVOY SARA MAIL DAN POOP

Well, if I was really a trucker I could just drop packages off easily wherever I was going, couldn't I.

You'd still have to do your own poop deliveries, though, John. I always try to humor you, but I do have to draw the line somewhere.

hey guys we remixed jaymc's band. I came in second to last place ;_;

The reason I won't go to trucking school with John is that I fear what he will fill his trucks with.

dumps like a truck truck truck

fixed title for weekend.

xpost I need brain bleach NOW

(Also - hahaha thanks Tom)

man you know when it's 5pm EST because the post count drops off so fast you can practically hear it

i thought your remix was cool, tombot.

^^^^ still my favorite poster

(it is secretly even cooler when you find out that I did not use any synths or drums or anything that wasn't from the original source material. everything is just canasta samples + fx)

I just listened to it and I thought it was very good. I have no idea what the source material sounded like, so no sense of the change, but still. Would listen again!

(I have now bumped the thread with a recent photo of my insane daughter. Yes, the fringe on her hat is coming apart, but she seems to like it that way.)

who doesn't love a shiny pink coat? NO ONE!

She abuses that coat, but I think she secretly loves it.

two hours later bump

bill maher bump

is russell simmons mildly retarded?

I don't even know who that is!

NOW WHO'S MILDLY RETARDED

Oh wait, it's me. ;_;

Last bump before sleep; I have school from 9 until 4 tomorrow so I have to get up early... good night all

Ick.

I just watched

'Evil'
'1001 Nights'
'Ravenous'

in under an hour with my tivo on ff, skipping to the decent parts

Nah, it's going to be fun. We spend a decent amount of time examining mannequins that have blood pressures and pulses, and it's kind of hilarious. (By 4 I'll be good and ready to go home, don't get me wrong.)

lol at "decent parts" of those... movies? Shows? My Netflix queue is nearly 500 movies long and I have yet to hear of any of your entertainment, remy!

riduculous animal observation 1:

i watched a squirrel sleeping on a branch in the sun in a tree across the alley.

this is weird because normally squirrels are very busy all the time.

it was probably the same squirrel that jumped on my arm last summer. crazy fucking squirrel.

riduculous (apparently that is a word) animal observation 2:

i watched a lady taking a leisurely stroll with her enormous orange cat.

people walking cats is riduculous.

it seems to be a very well-behaved cat. probably this is because it is too enormous to run away.

(lintberg is a fan of animals. he is also a fan of riduculous observations. i hope he finds these observations mollifying.)
