if i were the only person, everything would belong to me, right? i would be such a fancy dresser if all of the clothes in all of the boutiques were mine. damn.

no one to admire my swanky wardrobe, though. hmmm. i guess it would be a tragedy after all.

sad.

the thread title would never be fixed.

would i keep posting?

we would admire you from the grave xxpost

well then!

oh hey hi i guess i'm not alone on the planet

TADAH!

or... ARE YOU A GHOST ???

I AM LEGEND

URBAN LEGEND

A LEGEND IN HIS OWN MIND

laundry day more like yawn-dry day amirite
why is cleaning my apartment so boring?

Finals are over and I have been released, but only after being forced to wander the rat warren under the Concert Hall in order to remove "please do not practice during final testing" signs. Seriously crepey down there.

oh good, more ghosts!

say, do any of you know what's the best method for breaking shop window? i was getting ready to head down to lemon meringue.

Confused, speechless, and at a loss. That is me.

Nap-time.

I am so happy it is laundry day - new machine.

Awake again!

Yay new washing machine! (or dryer?!). I love to do laundry, as it is the only household task that I ever feel like I have a good handle on.

i hate doing laundry so, so much but i don't have a machine in my apartment and have to take it to a crappy laundromat. but it is all done now so i can put it off for another three weeks yaaaay

i was just AGHAST when i came home from slaving at my stupid job to find my fellow itrers had let the side down. i don't have one of these fancypants iphones so i can't post from the restaurant!

bell_labs you must own lots of underwear

Rubyredd, I promise to do better tonight. At least until 1 a.m. or so my time.

I, too, am impressed at how much clothing/underwear bell_labs must have. I try to do one load of laundry a day or otherwise I get behind.

If I'm remembering right, Hi Dere/Dan was about 22 loads of laundry behind a while ago. I was boggled at the amount of underwear he must own.

sara, you are absolved of responsibility, it's the others i blame... HELLO TOMBOT W4LTER ESTELA

We cheat by doing a load of underwear while everything else piles up.

PS there's a new UHF song posted on the IMM "what do u sound liek?" thread.

sometimes i hand-wash underwear in between washings, at the three week mark it gets a little sparse. or i end up having to wear my novelty christmas pattern underwear or something.

xpost whew! The guilt was overwhelming me there.

Victoria's Secret used to give their employees free underwear sometimes. It was usually VERY weird underwear. Not sexy. Not attractive. Not even Christmas patterned.

You have all convinced me that I should very possibly shop more and do less laundry.

PS Dan - I will look at the link and try to hear your band again.

Launderette users are all about owning dozens of undies. I just moved flats and was 6 weeks without a machine (actually more like 3 months but Xmas/America/arrived home with dirty clothes lol college). The day my machine arrived I noticed that the launderette nearby was no longer beautiful due to an electrical fire. It has taken a while to plumb it in (don't ask). I am too much of a grownup to mooch in launderettes and I resent paying the equivalent of $20 to have socks lost ('service wash' in UK), so the $10 it costs to buy five-packs of undies during the washer hiatus period is actually the wiser option.

i have been known to buy new clothes rather than do laundry. and i own about 50 pairs of underwear.

no shame in that game.

right now i am trying to decide between beer and nap.

get a straw and drink beer while lying down

suzy and Rubyredd have now firmly convinced me that I should spend the rest of my birthday money on underwear in order to not feel deprived in comparison to the rest of ITR.

THAT BEING SAID, congrats on the new machine, suzy. New appliances are the best once you have everything working.

xpost to bell_labs: nap, then beer, then another nap

Beer makes me hurl and my next nap will last 6 horas. Hooking the washer up properly = about time (thanks, Ed).

Ed is coming to MSP for the RNC, he has to work there as a broadcast engineer so I am hoping in the off-hours HSTNGS&Co will look after him. Oh and State Fair, you lot need to show him it.

What, you're not coming yourself, suzy? (I mean, I know the RNC is probably not a big draw, but still...)

I am sure Ed will be well taken care of.

Not as far as I know. With RNC happening I am sure the airfares will be *exploitative* in price due to huge spike in known expense travellers.

I take your point. But it would still be nice!

I am sure Ed will be well taken care of.

^^ This kind of looks like a vague threat; that is not how I meant it!

He asked about Justen's number and I will passez les digits, if JJ happy. I also tried to explain to him that downtown St Paul is the size of a postage stamp and he will mostly be eating at Fuji-Ya when he is in it.

Talk of Fuji-Ya (where I had my first proper birthday dinner aged 5) drove me to purchase takeaway hand rolls on the way home from errand earlier.

I have never been to Fuji-Ya. You went when you were FIVE?! ENVYING.

In St. Paul, I usually go to Sakura. Saji-ya I have been to a couple of times and have had bad service both times.

suzy, come home immediately to FAP at Japanese restaurant of your choice, plz.

My mom and tempura = old friends. She totally kvetches whenever I go to the one Uptown and bring nothing for her. I sensibly point out that flaccid tempura lives in styrofoam boxes, so no go.

I have finished my rolls. Next: G&T and cigs du jazz.

Afternoon. Today I had waffles, picked up CDs by a bunch of homosexuals, saw loud protesters and bought alcohol. Tonight: art.

suzy, I <3 your mom.

suzy AND Ned - have fun evenings! My big plans: weight lifting, finish the g.d. paper forEVER, and watch last week's Lost.

I will also eat my weight in Special K bars, which I have just made moments ago.

You're planning on doing that all at once, I trust.

xpost For me the problem with tempura is that they don't just bring out 20 beautifully deep-fried shrimps and a bit of salad. Three shrimp plus vegetable frybabies, nein danke.

i am in love with the pumpkin tempura at my local sushi place. they also have a tempura oyster sometimes as a special...best.

Well Ned, of COURSE

suzy - I don't mind some of the vegetables, but yeah, the shrimp is better. I love noodles, so sometimes I'll just get whatever the tempura noodle thing is with maybe two tempura shrimp and a big bowl of hot noodles.

bell_labs - omg that sounds kind of awesome.

srsly, I just ate a ton of food, but I'm all mmmmmm tempura, sushi, noodles, oysters, and plz some mochi for dessert

Well Ned, of COURSE

That's good, because I wouldn't want you doing anything impractical.
