The Long Winters

If you want to have a party, have a party! You don't have to get all DRAMATIC. I'm glad they're doing this. If there's basically no chance of them ever coming to Chicago again, fans wanna know that. If they play sometime down the road in Seattle, so many of us can't make that. And in my own economi...

lsj, I believe you may have another nanowrimo candidate

wow. I'm thinking about it. I'm one of those scaredy cats. lots of ideas and no follow-through.

I'll look at the specifics... yikes. I have to sleep on this one.

vitamin stores. and some grocers. it's good stuff. I highly recommend it.

since my significant other has taken to calling me either "spillary clinton" or "droolio iglesias", I guess that means I'm a dork.

but wouldn't that make him a dork to the power of ten? as punnery is dork of a much higher caliber.

Also, that "Freakanomics" book is totally fun and I heartily recommend it. It's not at all heavy; you can read the whole thing in 5 hours. Afterwards, you'll be just full of all sorts of random interesting facts. For example, that in the online dating world's list of desirable attributes, blond hai...

is there still time to add me?

:)

I dont remember what the link could have been or where the article could have been found. it was just one of those that came up as "news in the last 2 hours" things as I was checking my email. but then the "spin the facts" people showed up. I should know better. unrelated: "I shit you not" is a grea...

I first read about it sunday night and the article was actually pretty decent. however, everything I've read since then has been crap. how the hell is it important to mention zombie over and over again?! I hate the media. yes, all of it. I don't care that people were dressed as zombies and had fake ...

I want to mend and iron everything, make my closet look like a magazine picture, and live one of those perfect lives where you can grab any outfit at a moment's notice. ok, so I have not even seen an iron in years, until this thread. I went over to a friends house last night and she ironed while we...

why did I just now realize that this place is called Rock cottage.

hummer, my ass. this here is the demon spawn of a monster and a robot.

I went to ireland a couple years ago. it was off-season, but still beautiful. we went on a ring of kerry tour, which was amazing. it was the first time I saw the ocean. it was my avatar for a long time-- my first moments with the ocean. tickets were $99 one way (which is cheaper [usually] than flyin...

I like john's idea, minus the ironing new creases. I don't iron at all. I have a hard enough time motivating myself to do laundry and other basics. I have refused to buy clothes that require ironing. and after riding the bus/train for 30 minutes, pants already form their own creases, so I figure, wh...

I still support you Harvard comma! Someday they will see! I'm with you Betty. it just makes me feel better. and periods outside of quotation marks just don't look pretty. I really don't care about correct. I just want things to be pretty. I hate errors in books, magazines, menus, etc., but as far a...

I think there's a part in all of us (please, don't tell me it's just me) that occasionally thinks these sort of things. it's not as if it's acted upon. good interview. entertaining... but I couldn't so much identify... south america to clear my head? sounds a bit pretentious overall, but I'll give y...

anybody see the bear movie documentary thingie? I thought it was excellent. and had a lot to say about knowing a community of anything... bears are not so foreign. it's the bears you're unfamiliar with. I guess. and anything with the f-word in it does not amuse or intimidate me. ken stringfellow or ...

I don't necessarily have high hopes for the movie, but I did see nathan lane and matthew broderick on broadway, and I'm not too proud (by a margin) to say that I did speak with broderick outside of the stage door (yes, I know, but what else do you do when you are in new york and at a crappy hotel ar...

Personally, I like the Minnesota winter you're on the wrong side of the state. when I think of MN winter I think of living in moorhead (across the river from fargo, no dak). that is a different kind of winter that the southern border. I'm living in chicago, but grew up in MN and you would think I w...

I have yet to see the movie. However, I was totally turned off when I heard it had some cheesy voice-over. oh, no, no, no! morgan freeman! no cheese! he's never overacting or cheesy. just pure goodness. seriously. the man is beautiful. beautiful voice. very natural, no cheese. true professional. yo...
