i go to new york

atypically reserved

Theory: he realized late in the game that there wasn't gonna be time to fap w/us, and feels bad abt it?

i love his last post:

"Ah, okay. I read Amanda Palmer's Wikipedia page, and it seems she's some sort of an attention-seeker?"

his work here is done

wait, no it's not, he has to run the disco poll

We could go for a drink and put a picture of Tuomas on the table and say his name three times. Maybe he'd turn up then.

Jon Lewis theory otm.

Maybe he has been burning the candle at both ends, as the poor thing is wont to do.

is the candle a penis

slightly less awful today. woke up last night because i was too cold. splitting headache today. may have put my a/c on a bit too much.

how terrible an idea is it to buy furniture on craigslist? will i get bed bugs? is it something people do?

have bought on cl: tables, chairs, bookcases etc
would buy on cl: sofa in decent shape
would not buy on cl: mattress

I wouldn't do it. Not worth it if you draw the short straw.

ive bought most of my furniture on craigslist, but wouldnt buy a mattress

may have put my a/c on a bit too much.

inconceivable

I have pretty much lost my voice after four days in NYC. Probably a combination of pollution and a/c?

A/C will do that.

i was in new york this past weekend, super fun. you guys ever eat those fried octopus balls? in that small place with like, maximum capacity 3 customers? so good

it's an ikea sofa and armchair, allegedly 1 year old (and i believe it from the photos)

hmm

wanted this one http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/3924788356.html but may have low-balled the offer. no reply.

the guy http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/3938477349.html seems reasonable from his texts (ha) and i've talked him down from the asking price

what if i get bed bugs and then i die?

cool comes w/ an ipad

just carry it home in the nyc sun, that should be hot enough to roast the bugs

if i pay my bill on the ConEd website by giving them my routing and account #, and they now say i don't owe them any money, when should the money actually disappear from my account?

like a day or two, i think?

I don't know what you delicate blossoms are complaining about, I smoke AND sleep in the AC, and apart from being so dehydrated that my eyelids stick to my eyeballs in the morning, I'm absolutely fine.

otm

i have a headache, but i doubt it's from the a/c. it's more likely from the sweating all day everyday.

and not staying hydrated properly.

What do you mean, not staying hydrated. I watched you drink at least 36oz of beer last night, beer has water in it.

i was driving and walking around all day and had nothing to drink but coffee, it was sooooo not a good idea.

also, there are 16 ounces to the pint not 12.

laurel doesn't do 'pints'

Oh, whoops. I knew pint glasses were 16oz, I just did the math wrong.

Multiplication is hard.

I say roll the dice on the couch

If you get bedbugs burn your apt down

we turned on the a/c and I immediately got sick, like I do every year when it gets turned on

Probably all the mold that grew in there over the winter is getting blown out

Do ppl generally remove their window ac between brutal annual sun death epochs?

i do

it is a rite of joy

It's obstructing my view of my neighbour, who looks like Harold from
Season 2 of twin peaks but without a shirt.

Thanks for bill pay tips. Guess ill be phoning ppl tomorrow.

lololol

I don't, I left mine in the window from last summer. The freezing draft in January was a small price to pay to have my own personal Horn of Winter at my disposal as soon as I plugged it in.

get a fancy one with a reverse fan mode and you can use it as a smoking exhaust fan

Afaict air conditions when they are on "fan" don't bring in any outside air, they just recirculate what's already inside. I've always wanted the outside air option, because then I could also use my a/c as a $200 WINDOW FAN, instead of having to go buy another fan-type machine.

lol i recall having to break out/situate my a/c unit last year upon arriving home from yr fateful birthday party, in orbit

that one I was installing when I first arrived was a lemon and I have upgraded to one with an external air option. The normal recirculate mode is cheaper to run right?

Now cooling two rooms w 10000
btu and a strategically positioned vornado

xxp oh lol yes that was the weirdest party ever, also the next day was legendary.

xp huh maybe I shouldn't have gotten the cheapest one PC Richards had 3 years ago.

They make a/c units with a fan, I think? Just not common.

since Tuomas went MIA, let's have a drinkup once the weather gets marginally normal in his absence.

Otm

yes to drinks always. max and i were thinking about next thursday?

if i am getting a man with a van, and there are two guys, and the bill is x, do i tip them each 0.2x, or do i tip 0.2x total and have them split it?

kinda depends on x I think
