i just invented a cocktail after a bad day (i found out i didn't get a job i realllly wanted and thought the interview went really really well). gin, lemon juice, bitters, sugar syrup and pomegranate liquor. looks like a cosmopolitan but yum.
the main problem with not finding a job quickly is that we're moving to boston next june. so i feel a bit crap about not starting a job until like october now and then only working a few months and then moving away.

Hey, thanks for the NSFW warning on that pic, Jesse.

Yeah, WAY TO GO JESSE. I'm guessing that's the barbie person again?
I am going to BONDEDOROLE tonight. Do you think I could get tix if I just show up kind of early?
I liked those Bsignals songs linked above. They reminded me of Manda&theMarbles.

When should this Baraba Steele-athon be? North Coast has Black Sunday, so we can at least get that one. I haven't checked for any of her other movies, but they have a decent selection of horror classics.

I just discovered the "Documents" function in gmail the other day. It's pretty crazy, it's basically a word processor inside gmail, with save functions and everything. So I'm using it to work on lyrics, because I can "save" them and then come back to them from any computer. It's not a big deal, but it's nice.
― n/a, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:02 (sixteen years ago) link
I love the documents thing. I've been using it to keep track of the movies, books, and music that I fuck with this year (/jaymc).
― Jordan, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:14 (sixteen years ago) link
(music and books lists are sad and small, movies is huge beyond all reckoning)
Oh shit. Sorry. I was durnk as a skurnk when I posted that.

One of the partners left a message with a task for me. It's bizarre.
She wants me to find the number of casualties for the North and the South in the Civil War, and also the number of deaths at the Battle of Gettysburg.
― Jesse, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:18 (sixteen years ago) link
Is she representing Gaybraham Lincoln?
― Jordan, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:20 (sixteen years ago) link
I wish Amanda Lepore were here to talk to me. She would help me work through the, uh, problem I'm having.

I was a boozy floozy last night. Courtney and I smoked cigarettes.

I put an ad on craigslist trying to trade my Fender for a semihollowbody guitar.

Just in case any of you have a semihollowbody guitar you're looking to trade.
I have a trombone?

I copied that from the almanac I've been working on. Original sources were US Department of Defense and Coast Guard.

Awesome.

How about Gettysburg?
Those numbers are more distancing than the fact that kevin killed Brett Somers.
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:36 (sixteen years ago) link
Hmmmm. These are the numbers I found.
Federal
Killed in action 67,088
Confederate
Killed in action or mortally wounded 94,000
― Jesse, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:37 (sixteen years ago) link
I'll see if I can find Gettysburg and e-mail it to you.
― jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:37 (sixteen years ago) link
I wonder if there's an official wounded number for the current war. Must be, right?
― Eazy, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:37 (sixteen years ago) link
Or just post it here, I don't care:
Losses were among the war's heaviest: of 88,000 Northern troops, casualties numbered about 23,000; out of 75,000 Southerners, more than 20,000.
― jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:38 (sixteen years ago) link
This has some more specific numbers for Gettysburg.
― jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:39 (sixteen years ago) link
EZ, as of March 2007, the number wounded in Iraq is 24,314, and the number of deaths is 3,228.
― jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:41 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm sure there are more up-to-date figures; that was from the same table that the Civil War casualties were listed in.
― jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:42 (sixteen years ago) link
Why the difference in figures?
― Jesse, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Well, what are the sources?
― KitCat, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Where, between the numbers I gave you and the numbers you found?
― jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:49 (sixteen years ago) link
I mean why, besides the fact that it happened before counting was invented.
― Jesse, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Yes.
I am sure I don't have to be too accurate. This is probably for an opening statement.
What are your sources, so I can cite them.
― Jesse, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:52 (sixteen years ago) link
Are you using this site? Because you'll notice that the difference between Union wounded is not that great: 281,000 vs. 275,000. And total Union deaths is close, too: 364,000 vs. 389,000. Confederate figures are a little further off. For wounded: 137,000 vs. 194,000. Total deaths: 198,000 vs. 289,000.
But to answer your question, a lot of these figures are based on estimates, I think (like that "94,000" number you quoted above).
― jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:57 (sixteen years ago) link
My source is the Encycl0pa3d1a Br1t@nn1ca Alm@n@c 2008, although since that's unpublished, you could say the 2006 edition, since the figures haven't changed. (We didn't publish an edition for 2007.)
