Red and pink. I like to have options.

options are HAWT!

Exactly!

I have showered and changed now - into black yoga pants with white stripes down the sides (nb: I am not planning to do any yoga right now) and a black tank top-y thing.

I smell gooooooooooooood.

I smell donut-y.

Donut-y is good, too.

I think I look good today though. I slept good last night and shaved this morning and put gel in my hair (even though gel is the new hairspray, but I have a big bottle to go through before I move on to hair paste, which is the new gel).

This seems like as good a place as any to annouce that I'm posting from my grandparent's house, my grandpa and Lukas have both been napping for almost 2 hours, in which time I've drank 3 beers and eaten roughly an entire pound of mixed nuts, I'm still tripping my nutsak in a frnzy of dikplay over the "Nedmobile" thread, am sad that I won't see tonight someone I have very much enjoyed being around a great deal lately, am quite loving watching the winter wonderland build up out the window here, and am thoroughly looking forward to a recording session tonight with my new-yet-about-to-be-broke-up-by-the-end-of-the-month band tonight and funtacularity to follow later in the evening.

Rock on, funk soul bruthah.

Also: I understand now all the "but I'm on a dial-up!" complaints.

Also also: nuh uh, you rock on.

Also also also: make that 4 beers.

Also infinity: I hate Dragontales. I thought my son had better taste than this.

Well, I'm gone for the wknd.
I just saw my replacement laughing with my old editor, discussing assignments that should have been mine. Generally getting along with him a million times better than I ever did. I wish I hadn't quit. But I can hold my head high.
Plus I think she's a total kiss-ass. Cuz she used to be really nice to me, and then as soon as she got my beat (which she had wanted) she stopped even acknowledging me. Which is completely sketchy and makes me hate her.
Part of it is jealousy. Natch. But I know that the work I did was of a calibre this podunk will never see again. Boo hoo, I didn't make friends with a bunch of slime balls. Yeah yeah humph!
And now I can concentrate on more important things.

A pissy start to the wkend.

Want me to come bitch slap her for you? (The wearing of leather and spike heeled boots when I do is negotiable)

Dragontales sucks ass - I feel your pain.

Do you ever feel like maybe you need a personal rewind/delete function?

or volume control?

Nah, I have the volume under control, but the other...

Every day, luna.

We should work on that, Jules - we could be billionaires!

And then we could rewind time and be billionaires much earlier! Like...now!

Dammit. Where's my masseuse? Why is this place in such squalor?

I like the way you think.

Where's my cabana boy? I need someone to feed me truffles. And I want a drink.

*Blinks, looks around*...dammit.

i didn't go to school today. was up till 8 am partying. hurt. have to go to work in three hours. shakes.

Hey you lot, just swung by to see what's up & it seems all is not well on ilx & I have only looked at this thread so far! *sigh* Anyways I hope you are all well & have happy holidays.xxxx
(p.s. Nick - i didn't get an email from you! :-( )

I'm in a bad mood because British Telecom have yet again changed my account without telling me, and without any explanation when I called them, so my normal internet connection is unavailable, and I'm on a pay-per-minute deal. I can't get at or send my email, nor get into AIM. So I just dropped in to mention it in the event that anyone might be missing me (you never know!). I'm being given a month of all-day free connection as compensation, which I'll enjoy over Xmas, but I'm pissed off today.

I'm also feeling ill - a nasty cough, a sore throat and I'm shivery. I don't suppose this is entirely BT's fault.

Bloody hell, it's still only partly sorted - I believe I'm connecting without paying per minute, and I have downloaded my email successfully, but I still can't get on to AIM, and there was someone I really wanted to talk to too, if they happened to be around.

How annoying, Martin! Hopefully it'll all be fixed soon.

As for me - I've finished most of my Christmas shopping this afternoon, going to the office party tonight, and if I could get rid of this headache, I'd feel a lot better. Meanwhile, I sold my car this morning (*crying*) and am looking for a newer one to buy, but rented one today because the one I've been driving is in the shop. It's a good little car (the rental) but is the most awful color of sage green - who would BUY that? Ick.

Renters can't be choosers, however.

Hope you're all doing well, and an extra cockpunch to British Telecom.

Good morning, TITTytWISers.

My boss called in this morning and said he didn't really see any need for me to come in tomorrow! So, at around 11 we're going to an early lunch and then I never have to come back to this office again.

YAY!

We (ie: NA & I) saw LOTR yesterday and that movie was intense. I guess it was especially intense because we were both still a bit hungover from the party Saturday night.

It was a great time. A bunch of people wrote on our boxes, so now we can find our Weed, Life Size Dildo Doll, and the Cats, among other things.

(and I obviously meant TITtyTWISters)

hello my lovely! How was the party? Rocking I hope!

I hate it when I have to sign birthday cards for people in the office who HAVE NEVER signed a card for me. I've never received a card in the 30 months I've worked here. BOOO on other people being more liked than me!

If I don't like someone & they have never bothered to speak to me at work, then I don't bother signing their name (in leaving cards).

The party was GREAT, pink. Lots of loud music and drink and good friends.

It is going to be ok, Huck. Who cares? Nobody got me anything for my birthday at work, not even a card. There always has to be that one person who initiates it - goes out, gets a card, forces everyone at gunpoint to sign it. And then, as you might have read here, I basically forced my boss to get me something like a week after my birthday.

I know, I just wanted to gripe about it before I shrugged it off. I'm very small and petty like that.

Well that's good to hear sarah!

Today is my last day.

Oh yeah, I think I forgot to tell you guys... There's this one lady who interviewed who went on and on about how her current boss is mean to her and makes her cry. That's why she was looking for a new job. Then she asked me, "Ok, honestly, what is it like working for him? I don't want to jump from the frying pan into the fire, you know." I told her like it is. Then my boss was going to offer her the job, but she backed out. Good for her. The one he ended up hiring is a real tough cookie. She'll set him straight.

By what you have said in the past, i think a 'tough cookie' is what is needed!

Heh heh. Rah for Sarah!

i spent *all day* doing this:

http://homepage.mac.com/radio_free_albemuth/PhotoAlbum21.html

unpacking boxes, making a huge mess in order to put things in some kind of order; now i have a temporarily set-up room in the new place. the only cheerful thing about it are my Powerpuffs, which nestled nicely on the built-in shelf.

i haven't painted the walls yet, tomorrow is Xmas eve and i have to go to the hardware store, grocery shopping, wrap more presents, all before 1pm. Arrgghh why am i still awake??!!!

I wondered what happened to this thread? In it's temporary absence I was forced to update my blog.

Sarah congrats on everything wrapping well for you guys.

i get out of work 2 hours early! gee thanks!

Yo Tep, where you at?
Holla back.

For some reason, not that many people seem to be online at 9:00 PM on xmas eve. Hmmm. My family is watching some stupid romantic comedy, so I'm holed up in the freezing cold basement playing on the computer. Maybe I should look for a job. Hmmm.

(oops, Tep is apparently done with ILX)

i'm forced to be on my desktop due to having left my laptop cord at school. Haven't used this machine in ages. Proof: Opened Photoshop and in the recent documents list was this old-ass photo of Tom that he had me resize once:

he looks like a skater!

Hey kiddos! Hope all my fave ilxors are doing ok. Hope yuo all had a good Christmas. We found out 2 days before Christmas that someone has pulled out of our housing chain, so now I am not sure what will happen with the house. If it all falls through that is pretty much our chance of becoming houseowners gone.

Hey chaps,

Pinky, that's terrible - hope it doesn't prove to be the case.

I'm back in work today, which is okay I guess, though I'd rather be at home snuggling with muh honey. Especially as it is the most UGLY day outside - heavy rain and a biting cold wind. Welcome to 2004 (almost).

As ever, I'm away from the internet most of the day, so emails to mark at casar0tt0 dot uk dot com (replace 0s with os) very very very welcome, especially as I forgot to bring in any CDS :(

Dude, it sucks being back at work doesn't it?! My hotmail seems to be playing up today, boo!

haven't been around much lately, my wifes grandfather did die and its been a rough christmas. but a good one in some ways.

Awww Chris. *hugs*

Hey Poops. I'm waiting for a grandmother to die at the moment (worst case scenario = 2 grandmothers on the way out) and it's not fun. My dad was very subdued all Christmas - all he can do is wait for the inevitable phone call. She's in Italy so he can't even be by her bedside. Anyway, sympathy and manly hugs from me too.
