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

do you mean i should pay off any debt i have before i come? at this stage i think the only (LOL@ 'only') debt i'll have will be my student loan (around NZ$35, 000) which has pretty good repayment terms while i'm overseas. if necessary i may have a little credit card debt, but that seems unlikely at this stage. i have my laptop/camera/mp3 player hp'd but i'll be leaving money in a nz account to cover that.

yeah because whatever you make while you're here will pay off less and less of any foreign debt as time goes on. because this country is fucked.

I am envying people going out and drinking! I am going to stay in and behave.

Rubyredd, thanks for your thoughts about my kitty. And I think you should pay off debts as soon as humanly possible because I am just like that. I don't like borrowing money and I REALLY don't like paying interest.

yeah but the nz dollar is shit against the us dollar, and probably always will be, so i'm still sitting pretty. i'm gonna be a letterpress printer, so i'm gonna be poor wherever i live.

Considering the state of the US dollar, that is not so great for NZ. But hopefully will continue to be good for you!

Being a letterpress printer sounds kinda exotic.

only exotic if you find ink and sweat a turn on. which i do.

post rehearsal bump

post risotto bump (and I made a DAMN good risotto from scratch tonight and you're all jealous)

xxpost exotic/erotic whatever

exotic/erotic whatever

This should be on your business card.

it probably will be

attempting to letterpress print porn could be interesting

it would be some fucking expensive porn

why is sandwiches the only kind of food internet people ever talk about

shit is retarded and making me hate the word sandwich. I followed some buzzfeed link from jon or someone today and one of the top things in the sidebar was all "Incredible Bullshit Sandwich!" or some such and I was like "fuck this I am not eating any more sandwiches you goddamn bloggers"

no offense Ned

because everything tastes better between two pieces of bread

i think maybe it's a new hipster thing or somesuch but i'm not entirely sure, since i'm not a hipster.

I will talk about fondue if you want, Tom. Although I think I'm just going to make a Superpretzel in the toaster oven and eat it with some cream cheese.

Rubyredd, maybe you could supply John with letterpress porn for his store. It could have - as suggested Sat. night - music stuff, a side liquor business, and also porn with SPECIALTY porn. I also think part of the music business should be a d.j. service for less traditional weddings and events.

GAH, I'M STARVING, WHY AM I SITTING HERE COMING UP WITH NEW BUSINESSES FOR JOHN AND RUBYREDD?!

no offense Ned

Oh no worries.

it is not only sandwiches people talk about on the internet, it is also cupcakes. i think it is some sort of regressive childhood comfort food thing.

or, most people do not actually know very much about food, but they want to imply they know something grand and impressive, because they have been eating it all their lives, so they pick the most accessible, banal, and non-challenging food and try to imply they're brillat-fucking-savarin.

still, i like sandwiches a lot

it's another one of those things where I'm like ok you can go to an establishment and have a man with dirty hands make you a sandwich for $8-10 with tip or you can buy a sirloin, take it home, and make yourself a motherfucking steak dinner for the same price if not less, you know? people be not raising their children proper, and in this case really "raising your children proper" means not much more than "buying them a good frying pan and a copy of HTCE when you kick them out of the house"

that said tonight I am too lazy to make a steak so it is going to be charcuterie & whatever cheese ain't moldy yet platter

mom didnt buy me htce she probably didnt know wtf that was

i sort of want to open a pizza parlor

wise words.

tonight the gays got all pissed off at me for making posole and guacamole for dinner, which they called 'fancy fucking restaurant shit that looks like crap' and then they refused to eat it and went to mcdonalds. when i told 'em i thought they were being immature, they said they would only eat that kind of thing if, like, a chef had made it. they didn't want

i tried to explain that i was a chef, and that i had worked in restaurant kitchens for years, but they refused to eat it just the same and told me that nobody at home should be cooking anything with more than three ingredients.

what kind of fucked up culinary era are we in when people distrust home-cooked comfort food made by a guy with kitchen training in favor of deep-fried fast food?

remy you make all these people up

remy, please bring your posole and guacamole to Northfield, MN immediately; I promise it will be appreciated.

max - running a restaurant is teh suck. I'd advise against it based on my father's experience (which admittedly I only experienced as his daughter and a waitress/kitchen slave, but still).

jergins/tom - I'm SURE my mother still doesn't know what HTCE is, but that might be why she's such a bad cook. We just bought HTCE a few weeks ago, actually.

you would say that about jon too, but he posts here

oh wait, steve shasta and jaxon have met a bunch of these crazy gay cuzzins

DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUNKKKKKKKKKKKK

WHOO HOO!

oh sorry i didn't read the thread hello are we all happy?

Well obviously YOU are.

did any of you northfield people ever know a kid with the last name 3nn1s?

I have no idea why that sounds familiar. I'm not from here originally; I just kind of wound up here at college and then stayed due to circumstances. Sometimes I feel like I recognize every person in town, though.

the father chairs the math department at one of the colleges?

Hmmmm. Okay... I know a couple of math profs, but that name isn't familiar.

My one semester of calc did kind of drive me away from math classes forever, I confess.

All that being said, if I saw the person I might recognize them, especially if there were at Carleton. My husband works in the same building that houses the math dept. there.

huh. how long ago? i was a momentary math major at carleton, but i don't recall the name from there

i did also drink a lot, and i am drunk now, so my testimony? QUESTIONABLE

WHOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!

i go to bed now. whoooo. oh boy

my friend gr3g0ry 3nnis is from n-field, but he is only 28. i also went to college with a k4rst3n 1und, from n-field, and he won a writing award i wanted dearly.

hahaha, I must have missed John's moment of math-major-ing. I remember English and then physics and that's it. And I can definitely vouch for him drinking a lot.

Good night John, btw!

I lol'd at 'fancy fucking restaurant shit that looks like crap'.

also: finished workk for the weekk!

But i got to catch up on some fucking study this weekend. I fucking hate it >:(

xpost I feel like those names are familiar, but I don't know WHY! Maybe I need to read the Northfield News more closely. Although this last one had a completely irritating article about a close friend's ex-bf, who I don't particularly like that I can only describe as a hagiography.

remy, I'll try to figure out if I have a clue who those people are.

i swear i was going to leave rap producer thread alone, but prefuse 73 dude left me with no choice in the matter ok srsly gnight

xxxxxpost ok names seem familiar but i will review tomorrow perhaps when sober must sleep oh shit a comfortable pillow............................................
