more fun with spam

More spam phrases of note: "sourly heartfelt," "find pursue," and "deprivation comrade."

...and then, I woke up

I had written the best blog entry EVAH! It was all about love and relationships in New York City, and everything that I wrote was so true, and everyone I knew read it and loved it, and thought it should run in New York magazine, and they were just on the verge of calling me, and...

Yup. So instead of an incredibly insightful treatise on love (and 42), you get this.

Bah.

gasp, moan, whimper...

I want one, I want one!!!

I want one EVEN MORE than a Nick Cave Doll!

07.26.06

not me, no, nope...

I've...uh...never done this. No, not me. Not ever. No.

: looks up at sky, whistles innocently :

(Great strip, by the way. Daily reading highly recommended!)

posters we all should have!

Everyone should have at least one of these in their office...even more if you're trying to get fired. I find the "planning" one especially apt this week. :P

: tap, tap...:

...is this thing on?

I just upgraded to Movable Type 3.31...let's see how I do now. :) I haven't installed any of the sooper-dooper stuff yet -- but the base system seems to be up and running.

w00t!

07.23.06

oui, wheeeee!

A little tipsy -- had a wee bit too much wine with dinner. :) Since I started with a really empty stomach, um, erm...

R and I were watching "Cirque du Soleil: Fire Within," and I started muttering things in French. "Non, tu chantons tres MAL!", etc. Since my French sucks butt, I eventually resorted to such little-known phrases as "Le Thingy!" "Je veaux le thingy!" "Je suis une thingy!"

Let's face it: I probably sound like a drunk Pepe le Pew right now. Vive la France!

total epic cuteness...

PENGUIN CAM! PENGUIM CAM! PENGUIN CAM!!!

...

That is all.



we come from the land down under...

So it thunders and rains. Then it stops. Then it happens again. Stops. Again. Stops.

WTF?

Clearly, this is God's way of keeping me from a pedicure. >:/

In other news...hugs and support to my friends in Astoria without power for the fifth day. I know for a fact that my former apartment building is affected -- and the bullshit keeps getting shoveled. One day, ConEd says 2,400 are without power...and that's now been upped to 25,000. No big difference, eh? And it's an area with a lot of elderly residents, who also have no food, either...no power, no fridge, no food.

Hope the lights are on soon, guys...

kickball!

I played kickball last night -- on a team and everything! Did you feel the earth tremble? As we all know, me + being outside + organized athletic activity = CERTAIN ARMAGEDDON.

Seriously, something should have blown up, no?

Anyway, we lost 25-3...and we've all learned that I can't run in a straight line...and there was that time when I couldn't find second base. BUT my kicks were really good, so that counts for something.

I'm probably playing again next week. Game on! :D

07.18.06

um, hello?

Could someone turn on the air conditioner...FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD?!

Seriously, it's almost 9:00 at night, and it's 90 FRICKIN' degrees out...with a heat index of 95.

Make...it...stop...I'm sick of this oven!

fun with spam!

Two of the more interesting phrases in my spam this morning: "bride guzzle" and "crippling floppy."
