A completely unrelated series of thoughts

[butter_of_69]

Now, my kids know that I'm not the kind of dad who does things or says stuff or looks at you. But they do know one thing.

I like chocolate milk. My wife and I got on a Yoo-Hoo kick for quite a while. I thought for a long time that Yoo-Hoo was chocolate milk, with flavoring. Then I checked the ingredients. And I realized that milk needs to be refrigerated. Then I tried to convince myself that chocolate water was just as good as chocolate milk. Then I just got sick of Yoo-Hoo. My current drink phase: orange soda.

I noticed there are a lot of new people on the boards lately. I like new people. But they're not really new, are they? Just new to me. It's not like they just sprang from a crack in the sidewalk, ready to smoke, drink, and sing the praises of Slipknot.

One phrase I hope I am not uttering in 10 years: "Welcome to Target, where we are now completely un-hip. Please buy some failed vanity merchandise from the likes of faded designers of the past such as Todd Oldham. Or how about this ultra-post-modern clock which contains no hands, or numbers, or details of any sort?"

Vote for me on November 5th. I am running under my pseudonym, "State Issue 1".

[cuddlyevil]

LOL!! Welcome back Buttah!!

Chocolate water can never be as good as chocolate milk, can it?? :confused:

[Slugworth]

As the spokes-modal of the new crowd, I'll dish out some advise: Steer clear of the choco-water!

Dean's "Milk Chugs" are sweet!

For my money, though, I must say I have a total "Jones Cola" addiction. Their stuff is all good. And no...not like "it's all good".

[Juliana]

This is sort of embarassing I guess...

My sisters and I love Target

*hides face in shame*

[kickinitlive]

i only like target because it respects and represents those of us with red noses and rings around most of our faces. solidarity!

Malcolm O with an O around it...with a bigger O around it...and so on

[Slugworth]

My girlfriend and her mom spent the better part of an hour at Target yesterday. Horrible. I just drove around to Mars to check out some discount music while they shopped. Sad, really, because Mars is shutting down.

Now where will I go to escape the Target shopping spree?!!

[bluewilco]

Yoo-hoo is a horrible misrepresentation of chocolate milk--just one man's opinion.

Target is the only place I can find jeans that actually fit me in the size I usually wear. Most other places, I can never find pants that fit both around the waist and leg correctly.

And is it me, or is asscrack the new clevage? I can't seem to escape it these days...

[foolsgold]

Applesauce, rice pudding, massamon curry and hot dogs; I could eat these until I burst.

My wife and I went to Jungle Jims the other day to pick a few bottles of HP Curry sauce. That was all we needed. Anyway, we spent an hour and a half and $90 at that place. JJ is certainly the very definition of a love/hate relationship.

I once bet my sister that the Bengals would not win the 1983 Superbowl. She took the bet. Sucker.

In high school, I was voted class clown and the tallest. Thank heavens they didn't have a mouth breathing, social retard catagory.

Certainly, I am not the only person who feels kinda silly buying a jumbo-mega pack of toilet paper.

[Slugworth]

I grew up in a poor white-trash home, where eating fish sticks was the norm.

Now that I'm a reasonably well off adult, and spend hours creating tasty dishes at home with my gal (and way too much $$$ at Jungle Jims)...

...I so crave crappy fish sticks!!!

(my "gal" can't stand for me to even cook them)

[JesusPresley]

There comes a time when one must shop at a discount department store. Target is the only civilized one there is. - Wal-Mart is evil, K-mart is disgusting, and Meijer is like going to hell.
One of the nicest things about Target is that the employees carry those walkie - talkies, instead of the too-loud-intercom-with-the-hillbilly-woman-yelling-into-it-with-her-mouth-to-close-to-the-mic.
Also, Targets are generally clean, neat, and well-organized, and they have some pretty cool stuff too.

[MissKitty]

*Applause for JP*
I agree. I loathe K-mart, Wal-Mart and Meijer. Target makes me happy.

[MsAtt]

welcome back butter!!!

i shop at target when i need something i know i can get cheaper there than somewhere else ... it could be worse...it could be k-mart ::shudder:: :o

[AmericanScience]

Butter and Foolsgold's posts made me laugh out loud a lot.

My current obsession is the rubberized pencil.. The kids at my office were doing server and laptop operating system upgrades this weekend to prevent further sneaky comp viruses like we had last week.. Anyway, this wacko black pencil is on my desk, and then I pick the sucker up... Wowie! It's neat. Lemme give ya some background - I worked for two rubber companies after school for a total of five years, and like the feel of some vulcanized rubber.. Anyway, this is a Pentech "Rubberwriter No.2". It has an awesome feel.

Foolsgold, you're so right on the massaman curry.. What a weird thing, that massaman.. I get or share a massaman chicken dish at Teak almost every time.

I was all against Target forever, had never even walked in one after experiences at K-Mart and Wal Mart. I finally had to go to pick out a wedding gift from a registry, and it rocks there. Real clean, nice folks, have a majority of their teeth.. Good prices and better design.. And Meijer rocked as a grocery store in Findlay Ohio, dunno about anywhere else..

Getting back to Yoohoo, it makes me ill thinking about it NOT being milk when I drink it, so I avoid it.. I'm still on the Diet Vanilla Coke mini obsession..

Dear Diet Vanilla Coke:
Who do you want me to be, to make you sleep with me?,

[MissKitty]

HP sauce rocks. Bisto Chip-Shop Curry is kickass. I am low on both. Sadness.

[Juliana]

I'm having a taco salad with torengos and it's amazing.
Recipie:

leftover taco meat
kraft cheddar cheese in strips because you're too lazy to get the grater out
lettuce you tore up because you're too lazy to get out a knice
torengos
microwave the meat a lot.
add the cheese and microwave more
add lettuce
stir with a knife
scoop it up with torengos

[vicious]

viva le tar-jay. i got two pairs of wool gloves there for $.49 the other day. not to mention food, clothes, makeup, hairproducts and underpants. oh, and a clock that says "funk university" for $4 in a bargain aisle.
for some reason, tarjay is the only place i can find bras and underpants that i like. i can't get out of there without spending 2 hours and at least a 100 dollars. besides, walmart and meijer creep me out because of their overly-lofty ceilings. kmart creeps me out because....it's kmart for fuck's sake. aside from the icees, those chumps can suck it.

you know what scares me more than yoohoo? that hershey's crap that is actually billed as chocolate milk, yet doesn't require refrigeration. creepy.

i have a black eye and absolutely no idea how i acquired it. i also have some pieces of glass imbedded in my hand.

[cockney rebel]

I think the only reason I ever enjoy watching the Shopping Channel is because there are no commercials

Why is there a Mother's Day & a Father's Day, but not a Child's Day?

Do you ever wonder if the Rolling Stones considered writing a song called "Like a Bob Dylan?"

Can anyone speak Esperanto like a native?

[AmericanScience]

Heh heh. Esperanto jokes are funny. Let's hope there're no Esperantinos on este liste, eh? ;)

Hey! Vicious! Milk doesn't require refrigeration if it's irridated.. Cockney, they have cow milk on the regular store shelves in the UK, right? Not refrigerated?

US FDA is overly protective in some cases, some cases they're too lax.. Such is life.

Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing,

[Juliana]

warm milk is gross

hot milk is gross...unless it has chocolate in it, which is a horse of a different color

Having the Orsinal game page come up blocked at school for being a "porn" site is a weird thing....made me feel all dirty today.

but we do pop it in the fridge when we get home (in case Juliana visits!)

we still have morning deliveries by milkmen too. I only ever notice refrigerated milk in 7-11 stores & gas stations here (which never seems as fresh)

[pathogen.b]

Target has some great, cheap sweatshirts that actually fit and are usually pretty thick. they have untasty tacos, though. :(

i worked at Meijers years and years ago and should never have slept with the hyper girl in Housewares that winked a lot. i thought she really liked me. apparently, she liked everyone. a lot. or couldn't stop winking. i never stayed around long enough to find out. hey, at least they have BULK NUTS (http://www.meijer.com/produce/)!!! weeerd.

[Kwyjibo]

Things said to me in McDonalds today...

- I axed you to move out the way
- Do you want fries with that (I had already ordered fries)
- It'll be just a few minutes on your fish
- Sorry about the wait (fifteen minutes later)

Things said to Bmxer at McDonalds today...

- I need you to move

[classicgrrl]

Yeh for the Butter thread! Woo hoo!!!

Tarjay is good. They have Icee's but they're always out of Cherry.

Nerve.com is cool.

I feel talentless at the moment.

You guys all cook and stuff...I eat popcorn for dinner. I hate to cook. Love hot chocolate made with milk instead of water. Speaking of chocolate I take calcium suppliments now 'cause I'm old and crap. I found these Viactiv's....calcium in chocolate chews. I eat em as dessert, they are actually very good. I wish all vitamins came this way.

I saw my first movie Saturday by myself----Bowling For Columbine. Weird thing is, I acutally dont mind going out alone to restaurants and stuff. I have learned to always take a book. Only felt like a loser until the movie started. So then I felt independent. I am an independent loser.

True love was murdered in the suburban backyard.

[SteelTown Boy]

hmmm,sign that i do need to ease up on the fat

i had 2 sausage croissanwiches and a french vanilla coolata.

my friend was ragging on me for not eating right...hey,when you have to be at the school by 8am and you're not home untill 10PM...

what can ye do?

[eyeball]

I RARELY go to the movies with another person. Its the thing I do. Just me and the movie...noone whispering in my ear stuff about anything...I never go when its bound to be crowded. earliest matinee for me...and if there is a line when I get there (as the case with my second attempt at PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE) I just turn around and leave. Its best when I am alone in the theater...it has happened. :)

I taught my 5 and 7 year old nephews how to "crush heads" today.

some kids will give you tons of their halloween candy when they love you.

There are kitty footprints on my car...hood and trunk...I think they are cute so I haven't washed the car...

I have stickers on my harddrive case. One is a frog that gets big and small...

I like yoohoo because its chocolate water....milk just kills me so I have to be sparing.

I can drink cheap beer at home...but not at a bar or dinner...

[Juliana]

I like movies by myself occasionally. I actually made sure to see American Beauty by myself.

I don't think I could eat by myself at a restaurant other than fast food. Fast food, I don't mind, but that's it.

Monday night TV sucks.
a lot.

If you spell "a lot" as "alot" you drive me fucking crazy. Seriously. Stop.

People who talk to you once on IM or Yahoo and then tell you that they love you are *SO* 2000.

I never get good spam porn titles anymore

[quidam]

Movies are better by yourself. No one makes you late so you can see all the trailers...although if I wanted to see car commercials I could just stay home. You can put as much butter as you want on your popcorn and no one steals any. You get to sit wherever you want. Yeah, movies are good by yourself, but I wouldn't recommend it for The Ring. That was my stupid move for the weekend. Makes me wish I had more friends.

My weird neighbor touched my ta-ta tonight. I think it was an accident.

Why is that record companies don't mark a list price on CDs the way publishing companies do with books? Do they want stores like FYE to be able to charge you $17.99 for a CD that lists at $12.99?

Am I allowed to slam FYE on here?

I wish there were UDFs in Philadelphia. All this talk of chocolate milk has made me crave a milkshake.

Vicious, have you hit your nose lately? I always break mine and get black eyes without realizing it.

Just a thought. Or five.

Slam away, that place sucks. So does Sam Goody, Best Buy, Media Play, Cd Connection, etc... on and on....

Support your local independent music retailer !!!!

[JesusPresley]

They have white - chocolate Kit-Kat's now. I may just gain back the 20# I just lost.

There is a pop machine hidden away in the back corner of the top floor of the art building at Sinclair that has Grape Slice. I have never seen or heard of Grape Slice anywhere else. Everytime I get one, everybody wants to know where I got it. I'm afraid that the wierdo who stocks the vending machines is the only one in the world who has this stuff, and has only a limited supply, so I always lie and tell them I got it at some convenience store in the West Side Ghetto, knowing they'll never go find out.

My favorite mammal is the pangolin .

Why are athleic shoes (especially basketball) so freakin' stupid looking these days ? Some of them look like golashes. Give me my trusty old Chuck Taylor's any day. ( I still have a pair that I bought the same day that the Beastie Boys' "Licence to Ill" came out, they are like socks now. Really old, holy, smelly socks, but I will never willingly part with them.

[AmericanScience]

There's a list on CDs, it's just not put on the product.. And it usually IS around that $16.99 mark I think. Some folks like Best Buy etc. use them as "loss leaders" to get you in the store to buy washers and big screen TVs.

I'm listening to Beck's Sea Change on headphones for the first time. Wowie. It's much better sounding than I'd given it credit for. I'd only heard it zillions of times in the car before or computer speakers...

Looking forward to Sigur Ros show on Thursday - I hope I hope I hope that I can find the tickets easily.. Wherever they may be..

Random violence sucks - and nonrandom too.. I was at White Castle by UC / Hopple exit on Sat night around 2:45am (technically Sun morning), driving home a drunk pal. Apparently some dude hit his Jeep into a car, then the passenger in the car get out, and says, "we should exchange insurance info or something." The guy in the Jeep says something along the lines of "yeah, I'm not paying for anything. Fu*k you." And it progresses from there, until *poof* we drive up, the guy standing outside from the car opens the Jeep door, punches the guy in the face, drags him out of the Jeep, Jeep guy's head hits the ground, he passes out.. Unfortunate situation, sure. Then the dude that was previously marginal in the public opinion's book (the guy from the car) gets too much adrenaline and snaps.. He searches through the passed-out Jeep guy's pants for money and they get in the car and take off. The part we witnessed took like 40 seconds, there were billions of people that had seen it a minute earlier and had way more info. 10 minutes later, while we're in line inside, some other incident occurs that took 10 (TEN!) Cincinnati cop cars and one fire truck. No clue what it was.. Maybe my brain is numbing..

Guess I'm doing fine,

[MonkeyGirl]

I went nuts today and decided I need organic tomatoes today. I then went on to buy lactose free organic milk, cage free eggs, and organic cheese (or 'Cow cheese' as my kid calls it). I dunno why... I think the couple with the head wraps put a curse on me. I swear, one moment I'm thinking "Damn, how about having one more kid to go with your ten, people??" and the next, I'm buying tomatoes... :confused:

[IPrayForSound]

Sour Pez is REEEEEALLY good. 'Cept now I have these weird fruit-head guys with their tongues out staring at me from the computer desk. At least they have candy.

Whenever my roommate plays music a little too loud, Pete Rose (who happens to be right next to the fruit-head guys) shakes his head. He keeps pointing at the screen, too. I haven't figured out what's so great that he needs to always be pointing at it.

Band practice is really fun if you do something new, or if everyone's just *on* for the night. Tonight, neither of those things happened. But I got a new guitar, so that's cool.

Do you know about his strength and convictions? Or how she puts all her faith in religion? Did you take the time to really discover how little we know about each other?

I love my Brita pitcher. I think I'm supposed to like the Pur filters instead, but fuck it. Brita for President in '04.

I can't get my humidor above 60%.

Maybe the hygrometer's broken.

I'm depressed, but I'm not sad. I just can't get motivated to do anything. I can't even get motivated to care that I may lose my job if I don't get motivated to show up on time, or at all.

Since my mom got dogs, my cat is all messed up. I went over there tonight, and I went outside to pet her (she won't come in...the dogs scare her). It took me a good 5 minutes just to get her to trust me enough to come within 5 feet. She used to have such a happy little furry life.

I used to work at a Pepsi plant in Rhode Island. They made grape slice there. AFAIK, they have no plans to stop making it, and since your average Pepsi truck driver works on commission, he'll notice if it's selling well and bring more. So fear not, Jesus! (What a weird thing to say.)

And my dad gave me a pair of his Converse All-Stars that he played basketball in while in high school in the '50's. I have a pair of Chucks from when they didn't yet have Chuck Taylor's name on them.:D They are the comfiest shoes ever, but I don't wear them anymore. They do smell. But they have to be the toughest shoes on earth. They're at least 47 years old and only have two holes in them.

My other two favorite pairs of shoes fell apart after about a year.

Now that I live in Philadelphia, I have to pay $1.50 per gallon for bottled water that tastes just like water from my grandma's well in Foster.

I'm not entirely sure my neighbor touching my ta-ta was an accident.

The world needs more writers like Matt Ruff.

So wrong. It's all about the Pur.

I wish I had a pair of Chuck Taylors, but all the money I've scraped together since August has gone to the Looney T. Bird's going out of business sale in Oxford. Perhaps they should go ahead and go out of business already so I could get a pair.

[Juliana]

Is Looney's still open?
I called them in July about it, right when they first announced it was closing, and they said that they'd close in August at the latest.

I would like to make a trip out if they are still open though. Just to see what kind of deals I could get.

Me, too! Well, actually I wish they were in Baltimore, but since I work in Philly every few weeks, it would be nice if they were there, too! I also wish there were Busken Bakery's, Donato's, Jersey Mike's and BW3's in Baltimore! And as long as I'm dreaming, having a Pleasant Ridge Chilli near me would be nice, too... man, I must be hungrier than I realize!

[hlfzephyr]

I really think that Angel is a better show than Buffy...

I wish that Fairborn had a UDF

I wish that Diary Mart down the street from my pad wasn't a dirty disgusting piece of shit

I really need to get a bigger apartment, just so I can buy more shit (with money I don't have) & to get another cat

Movies are the best when you are alone. You don't have to agree with anyone else as to what movie you want to see and you don't have to wait for your constantly late friends to show up.

I made the decision to drive myself everwhere from now on. So whenever I'm out with friends and they start acting like shitheads or it's late and I have to work early the next day, I'm outta there.

I feel like I'm lost...

[hlfzephyr]

I love to eat breakfast/lunch by myself that way I can read a book or the newspaper, but I love to have dinner with other people, but conversation during eating is something I hate. And why is it someone asks a question right after I've shoved a spoonful or forkful of food in my mouth?

Still feeling lost...

[cuddlyevil]

i wish i had ice cream for breakfast.

i'm scared to go outside of my office building, they've taken to locking in the front doors due to angry customers...

[AmericanScience]

cuddly, your ice cream line reminded me that i put a cola in the freezer when i got to the office.. hours ago.. heading there now, head hung in shame, hoping i don't have to clean frozen cola out of the office freezer.. again

thanks!

all right - stop - collaborate and listen,
B

[cuddlyevil]

glad i could help B ;)

No way Buffy is so much better. But Angel is getting better. I think both shows are at different points in the life cycle of a drama series. I think the current Angel season is similar to the 3rd season of Buffy.

[hlfzephyr]

I don't know I just think Angel is getting badass now. Did you see Sunday 11/3 episode? Everyone is just getting so badass!

[cuddlyevil]

don't spoil it for me!! i have to wait to catch it on video (had a friend tape it for me) won't get to see it until this weekend...

[yohann269]

I missed it as well. I am still trying to get used to it being on Sunday nights. I do think there is potential.

[hlfzephyr]

don't worry I won't spoil it!

Now back to a series of unrelated thoughts...

I like the rain, makes me want to go home listen to NPR and wrap myself in a blanket, drink some hot cocoa and sleep!

My friend Maria's b-day is coming up and I have no idea what to get her. Plus the holidays are coming and I hate shopping for myself let alone other people(hell most of the time I don't even know what I want for myself)

[Racer Greg]

My favorite shoes are Sambas. I picked up a new pair over the w/e. Got a new pair of Reebok, too. They're blue suede. I like 'em.

Sometimes things need doing regardless of the cost/benefit ratio.

Sometimes I worry how I 'm going to be able to do something, then, in the course of just doing my job, something happens to help me do what I really wanna do.

Goose. Geese. Moose. Moose. Mouse. Mice. House. Houses. There's just no consistency there.

[cuddlyevil]

I need to go shopping this weekend, maybe that'll be my project for saturday.

I need new dice for the d&d group I've been asked to join, any ideas where I should go to purchase said dice??

i've already started my christmas shopping, this frightens me...i never start this early...

[IPrayForSound]

I have some dice. I got them to play D&D, but I never got around to it. Mostly because all of the people I knew who played were uber-annoying. If you knew how annoying I was, the fact that these people were that much more annoying would be more impressive. I promise.

I had a tuna salad sandwich. I coulda swore there was some dolphin in there. Not that I know what it tastes like, but I suddenly feel like swimming alongside a boat.

I've got my friend's Invalids CD. I've had it since high school. I should give it back sometime.

I can't decide whether to vote for Taft, Hagan, or Chick McGee. I'm leaning towards Chick. Not because I think that he'd make a great public servant, but because I don't like Taft or Hagan. And Chick would make football the official state everything. State bird? A football. State song? "Football"...someone will write it, but the details are being worked out.

I've got this sneaking suspician that I'm out to get myself. Of course, I'll deny it when confronted.

[hlfzephyr]

I'd rather drive to Huber Heights, that way I can visit family and get some delicious peach ice cream (when it's in season) YUM!

[cuddlyevil]

you can always visit the dairymart in my neighbourhood, sure the coolers rotate between working and "out of order" and it's a fire hazard/magnet for folks looking for an easy score...but it's got character ;)

[MissKitty]

If I have Monte Burns on my desk and Janet has Bad Mojo-Jojo on hers, doesn't that cancel out any evildoing?

[hlfzephyr]

Thanks! I also have a Dairy Mart in my 'hood in F'born sure it's been robbed at gunpoint about 3 or 4 times in the past year but hey that's the charm of the place.

[cockney rebel]

Is it wrong to say this about someone?:-

She has a face that looks as if she was fed by catapult as a child

[IPrayForSound]

It depends on the situation, Sir Rebel. For instance, the last time I said that about someone, I was in the wrong. She obviously had not been fed by catapult. She'd been smacked in the face with a Volkswagon Minibus.

[cuddlyevil]

you mean she didn't just fall out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down ipfs??

[IPrayForSound]

Well, she may have, but certainly not before she was accosted with a large vehicle. On another note, she did make some damn fine spaghetti sauce.

I made spaghetti sauce for you once :eek:

[IPrayForSound]

I said "damn fine"...yours was "quite delectible". There's a HUGE difference. Was that homemade? If so, I'm even more impressed. Can I have some Laffy Taffy? And garlic bread?

[Smem]

I didn't think mine was "damn fine" either...and I'm fairly certain I don't recall the whole minibus thing...so I guess I'm safe for now. Oh, and you ate all the Laffy Taffy. Only got Sour Patch Kids left.

nope. i don't recall having been hit in the face at all in the past week. i decided instead of fabricating a great story for the bruise, that everytime someone asks about it, i'll just start singing "love is a battlefield" and shuffle away a la ms. benetar.

my stories for sweeps have been turned ass backwards and butchered, this is only one of the many reasons i should be promoted to a segment producer. these chumps are SO out of touch. i love them all, but i think they completely misunderstood my vision. yes, as a college drop out, you *can* still have a "vision."

awwwww......SNAP! i fucking love the chinese buffet. mmmm.......m to the s to the g.

if you're one of those know-it-all fucks who always have to better or disprove what i say, i hate you. die in a fire.

but if you're that dj from fabgear on thursday nights, i want to make a baby with you. seriously. even though we've never spoken before. i'll touch your butt.

i got lost in sams club today. that place is *way* too big. but they do have wicked good prices on clorox wipes and corn dogs.

Not to mention a damn fine Italian cafe a half block up the street.

Unlike those fancy bags of popcorn at the theater that have the movie-of-the-week promo'd on the side and cost more than the unfreshly popped contents of said bag, I'd bet the flour bag costs next to nothing compared to the flour and labor to put it in the bag..

this is actually physiological. when some people go from a dark room to the light or into the sun their cornea's quick closure somehow triggers the sneeze. when i am close to a sneeze, i look into a bright light to get it out.

Spinster: begain in Britian as a way to classify the ladies who spun yarn and ran their own businesses including trading, their own book keeping, etc. These lost their jobs with the industrial revolution and so began the negative connotation to the word.

There is no male equivolent to spinster. The only one would be Bachelor which is taken to mean either a man has not yet found the right girl or does not wish to marry at the moment.

Women who were spinsters were so by the age of 30. In different centuries and time periods they were burned as witches, considered mentally ill and were placed in assylums, thought to be having an identity crisis and not in tune with being womenly (meaing to have babies and keep a home). Not marrying was not really an option...

I stopped at some out of the way bar (I don't even know where I was, I was just driving around with my camera) to take a leak.

I was thinking more along the lines of ignoring where you've been, who you are and what makes you happy. "Growin up" to make other people happy.

Beyond fulfilling my responsibilities, if "growing up" means not listening the music I like, driving a car I hate, hanging out with boring, self important sheeple, doing the whole "domestic life" thing and abandoning my passions, then I'll take being a perpetual child.

The best time of my life was spent (in the early 90's) delivering Pizzas for Papa John's Clifton in my shitty orange Camaro, hanging around UC/short Vine with friends and enjoying the amazing music scene that once existed there.

Living in the past is a fatal disease, but "adult" life shouldn't become a neverending blur of drugery and stress. I've been to ONE concert in 8 years. Ween (it rocked).

AMEN!!!!! i think their prices have been outrageous for the last 4-5 years. i've pretty much stopped shopping there and devoted myself to salvation army for the last couple of years, because it was close to where i live. fortunately, valley thrift is now a matter of blocks from my house. salvation army's still on of my favourites, and still pretty "thrifty," but almost everytime i stop by, it's so crowded you can't even park!

i went to valley yesterday and dropped my last $10 (which means i probably won't be eating this week). i bought a headscarf, a nice baby blue cosby sweater, a black and white striped tee, two prince LPs and a springsteen 45. a pretty decent haul for ten bucks. they must have had a pretty big turn around to hire all those mexicans, though. i also find it odd that everyone working there wears nursing scrubs. i don't remember that from the last time i was there.

I got my haircut and everyone loves it except my kid...who told me it's ugly and he's not looking at it.

I think I'd be ready to date again if I had the time. Oh, and if I didn't attract psychos all the time. I've made up my mind long ago that no relationship would interfere with school again. Last one almost did, cause I had issues concentrating in class when being bombarded with fake emotional drama after the next. Hmm..Priorities. But I've maintained a 4.0. Woohoo!

I remembered last night why I hate going to dinner with my dad.

I didn't think UPS would deliver today.

I'm missing my VBScript book in my shipment, yet they still charged me for it. Luckily, that's my Saturday class so I have time to fix it.

I really think my cat loves me. Perhaps that's why he whizzed on my comforter.

[cuddlyevil]

i fell victim to the great feline incursion this evening, managed to deter much of the attack...kitty's still out on the frofnt steps howling though, wish my neighbour would learn to care for her pets.

apple butter's fabulous, this is nothing new though ;)

i have 5 movies to watch in 4 days, must take notes on all--there'll be a quiz later.

my tea's ready, i should go finish fixing it.

i realized how lucky i am to have a wonderful friend who introduced me to someone very special. now, we're both happy :D

got a empty apartment right across the hall. darn freakin' nice too--roomie and I have had discussion bought movin' our stuff over there but the lock with the proper key seems to be a deterant.

Fire inspector came by my place the other day. Turns out that it violates the fire code to have a surge protector plugged into an extension cord plugged into a wall--extensions can be plugged into surge protectors, but surge protectors have to be plugged directly into the wall.

Whatever. Except I need to remedy it by tomorrow when he's here again or else I get fined.

Physics is fun!

I need to start pleasure reading again. It's a damn pity that I'm in college and have such little time.

Being the secretary of any group and having to take minutes is highly overrated, because no one ever reads them--except when you forget to send them out one week and everyone gets incredibly pissed at you.

Once I start cleaning and re-arranging things, I can't stop. It becomes an obsession, and it drives me crazy because I can't make it perfect because I don't have all the things I need to make it perfect, and it'll never be perfect, because I'll never be able to afford the things I need to make it perfect...(anybody got any spare Zoloft ?)

I really want to go see the French Kicks @ SGH tonite, but my buddy that was going to go has just bailed on me, I hate going to shows alone.

The ice machine repairman told me today that I looked like Rivers Cuomo. I'm not sure if that was an insult or compliment.

Since when is Eminem cosidered "Modern Rock" ? I got some catalog yesterday that has a bunch of T-shirts and stuff in it, it's broken into categories like "Classic Rock", "Jam Bands", etc... and Eminem, Korn, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, and a bunch of other sucky metal bands are on the "Modern Rock" pages.

William Shatner is a parody of himself. He's cool with it. Shatner rocks!

Speaking of physics, I haven't terroized the neighborhood with flying vegetables, courtesy of my pneumatic potato cannon, in a long time. That "What the fu...?" look on their faces is priceless.

So, instead of going to see the French Kicks & Shesus, I guess I'll be going down to my local watering hole. Oh joy! It's fvcking karaoke night ! Get to hear the same drunks sing the same terrible songs they sing every week.

I ordered a T-shirt today that reads : "I'M SO GOTH, I'M DEAD". I'm just going to put it away and mandate in my will that I will be dressed in that at my funeral.

i'm never gonna be on Dreamworks' records... which is fine by me, i'm not even a musician, and david geffen is a jerk.

If someone wants to give me a lot of money and also have sex with me (preferably a female, but hey, if the price is right) then i'd probably marry them.

If you eat potatoes but you eat too much (many? who?) of them, you will surely feel worse than better.

If you buy a cd burner and you have every intention of using it to it's fullest potential, you will soon realize you didn't actually have too much stuff to burn in the first place and you could have just borrowed someone elses.

Someone falling down a flight of stairs is hilarious... what is more hilarious is someone on crutches falling down a flight of stairs... and even more hilarious, someone in a wheelchair.

People watching with my friend's liz and tom and to a lesser extent IPFS (he's not usually so quick to point out the fashion faux pas of others) is a dangerous business.... but some people are just begging to be made fun of, especially if they are short, mexican and wearing overalls with the straps hanging down.. but especially if they are mad goth, i mean maaaaaaaaad goth.

So I walk in this music store today, just browsing, and lo and behold, they have a certain guitar. A guitar which was stolen from my car about 6 years ago. I would recognize this guitar anywhere, even if you put it in a row of 100 of the same make/model/year/colour guitars, there are little things about it that I would be able to identify, plus I still remember the serial #. Anyway, I bought this thing in 1988 from a guy selling it in the Tradin' Post for $250. The store where I saw it today had a nifty little price tag of $2000 on it. So I guess I'll never get it back. Damn, I loved that guitar possibly more than I've ever loved another human being. Thieves Suck !!!

What do Pepsi Blue, Red Fusion, and Vanilla Coke have in common? If you mix them all together, they have the exact same chemical composition of raw sewage.

I don't think I'm gonna lab tech next quarter. It's a great way to suck up to the prof's, but at minimum wage, it's just not worth it. Hell, the computer lab dorks get paid $6.50/hr, and all they do is sit there. I have to mix deadly chemichals, sweep, mop, scrub, clean up after inconsiderate students, and help hoplessly untalented people try to make their photo's look good. Not worth minimum wage, working on my days off from my regular job, and driving from Middletown to Dayton and back 2 more days a week.

"Let me get some pants on and I'll come pick you up" means allow me to get on more appropriate clothes for being seen in public.
"I don't have to wear pants at work tomorrow" means it's a casual day and I can wear jeans.

But you know what ? 3 year olds don't give a shit. Mine was the first gift he wanted to unwrap. What a cool kid, now if I can only get him off this sick obsession with bluegrass that he has...

[cuddlyevil]

chocolate is my friend.

running away, hrmmm...no one will miss me.

why does my boss come into my office and then just stand there with a blank look on his face?? :confused:

why the hell was the drive through downtown dayton utter torture this morning??

my sister will be at my house in a week!! gotta clean!

unfortunately, there's not much here for me anymore to keep me in Dodge so I've been seriously considering broadening my geographical horizons the past couple weeks. A change of scenery will bring better luck and I think it's just what the doctor is prescribing.:(

[cuddlyevil]

running away doesn't solve anything...running to something doesn't always either though...dammit. ne'ermind :(

you'd be missed 22fret

[22fret]

huh? there's nothing to run away from, cuddly. Merely just a need to move on and put some things in the past.

[cuddlyevil]

okay...had me worried for a sec 22 fret.

[22fret]

good. glad to see that doesn't phase you in any way. :confused:

[cuddlyevil]

But the saloons, and the um...hookers with the hearts of gold named "Lilly" and Shep the piano player, and of course the sheriff who will run the bad guys out of town, and who will win in the noon shootouts....

Change is not bad though.

I am in love with Tostito's restaurant style mild salsa. I'm not a salsa person by nature, but this stuff is ruling my world. I think the half teaspoon of fresh pepper I added to it when I opened it helps. YUM

Middletown High School has the stupidest parking lot EVER

Seriously, with a last name like "salinas" wouldn't you maybe think I'd have some knowledge of the Spanish language? I know the swear words. Stupid freshmen.....

I need 8 galvanized buckets.
I can't decide if I should go work out tonight, or blow it off.
I want to make some ChexMix soon.
I love my wife.

Mmm, Chex Mix.

I really allow myself to eat a lot more when I have exams.

Speaking of which, I have been dreaming about LSD, PCP, Ecstasy, and needle exchange programs all week. Psychopharmacology is going to make me a drug addict, or at least just fat.

Always has, but whatever the hell they're doing now, with the traffic routing, aaagh ! - I haven't driven thru there in years, but there was an accident @ University & Manchester the other day, so I tried to cut through there to avoid the snarl, God those people are idiots.

[Phreon]

I get choked up over the silliiest things

I just finished developing the first roll of film I've processed in ten years. Woohoo, success!

Photographic chemicals smell worse than I remembered.

I'm out of Dektol. Rats!

Phreon

[LiceKrispy]

I've got some Dektol rats you can borrow. But they're kind of old, so they're a little soggy.

Well, I am pleased to discover that my cousin's amatuer movie script is at least better than your average TV show.

Read the next paragraph forwards once, then read the sections seperated by commas, dots, and periods in reverse order.

I think I figured out why people cheat. Yes, it is wanting what you can't have, but going deeper, I think married/taken people subconciously realize that being attracted to a new person is doomed to not work or lead anywhere serious, so the idea of a guaranteed short term physical relationship amplifies the attraction.......not because that's what everyone wants, but because slipping into eternal commitment with a stranger is what people are afraid of.

I feel like pooping on a chicken.

[cuddlyevil]

i need a vacation, a change of scenery will be good for me. can't wait until next week.

mochas are a great way to brighten a dreary morning.

having a message on my voicemail everyday from my sister consisting of "what'd you buy me!?" makes me laugh.

i need to clean my apartment, badly--again.

[berzerker]

I'm never satisfied if I clean my house, badly.

[cuddlyevil]

lol...but your house was clean the last time I was over there 'zerker...'course that was before you acquired a mountain of wedding presents and it was a while back, hrmm...

What ? I love that smell ! Except for Stop Bath and Selenium Toner, I would wear them as cologne.

P.S. Dektol really is for paper, it'll work in a pinch, but you get better results and a lot less grain with D-76 or HC-110, The Ilford stuff works really nice too, especially with their superior film.

[classicgrrl]

one word....Whoppers!

yummy....

Here's a hint, don't pour fixer and then wipe your itchy nose. Blech, the smell stays for hours.

The odors aren't overpowering, but without proper ventilation and/or with constant physical contact, you can become sensitive to the phenidone/hydroquinone and especially metol in common developers. Such an allergy will really ruin your darkroom enjoyment. Think headaches, bloodshot eyes and on dermal contact, dry, cracked, rashy, bloody skin.

Erm, thanks for the heads up; I know Dektol is for paper, I souped my first roll nearly 20 years ago. I was bummed because my negs came out so damn spectactular (a bit thin, but great for the first run in 10 years) and I don't have any Dektol/Selectol/PolyMax/Neutol to develop prints with.

I used D-76 and Tri-X (35mm, T-Max sucks) exclusively back in the day and I can say that the results I achieved last night blow away any of my old negs. As an experiment, I shot Tri-X Pan in my Rolleicord IV, exposed @ E.I. 200 and deved in Rodnol 1:50. Granted the big 6x6 cm negs I'm using now have a distinct advantage over 35mm, but for an equal surface area, the Rodinol negs are still an order of magnitude sharper (higher acutance). The tonality looks better too, but I won't really know till I print.

Now I remember what I loved so much about B&W photography.

All hail the Great Yellow Peril, late nights spent in organic vapors, waiting hours for the perfect shot, obscenely heavy Mamiyas TLRs, 50 year old Rolleis and battleship tough manual metal Pentax cameras!

Woo-hoo!

[kickinitlive]

I nearly forgot: "Girls gone wild!" is on tour and in dayton this evening...anyone going?

[Phreon]

From Martin Luther King Drive, the UC campus looks like the set from Logan's Run.

I have an interview today.

I'm so damn tired. Coffee time!

Used indicator stop bath is great for writing obscene messages on the lawn.

I just stopped in on my grandma; I swear I felt my grandpa's presence there (he died not long ago). Weird. Very weird.

[berzerker]

Girls gone wild, huh? Hmmm...

Someone should buy me a Jeep Liberty. Or BMW X5.

I hope my fantasy football team makes it to the playoffs.

I need to go home and rake the yard.

[22fret]

[cuddlyevil]

I will be at the Dublin Pub, drinking guinness and eating dinner in about 10 minutes or so, for anyone who's interested in helping me drown my sorrows...the corner of 5th and wayne ave, across the way from the oregon district in downtown dayton...

I have an insatiable need for new music. I bought 3 new CD's yesterday and I still want more, I need more. More. Some More. Mmmm...S'mores !

Nature Valley has a new granola bar flavour : Maple & Brown sugar, God, are they good. Tastes like a bowl of oatmeal.
