[QUOTE=IvoryTowerDenizen] God, Meeks. Truer words. And everyone else can think your parents are just the sweetest things and never know the truth. We should go drinking sometime. [/QUOTE] Well, we’re definitely siblings. 🙂 People who have walked down that path recognize it immediately. And I’d be game for a drink anytime. Altho, if you’re deleting your taht sober…😛 > [@The Vorlon](#): > > Anaamika, did you visit my old stomping grounds–i.e. the OLD Crossgates Cinemas? Actually, tonight we did, because it was the one with the latest showing. Usually, though, we go to Latham Cinemas. Did you know the new one opened at Colonie though? We went to see Wall-E there first. This is actually the third time, we love the move so much. The last time we went to see a movie three times was LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring. The first one at least was everything I had hoped and dreamed for. Ah, Viggo. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Noone Special] ☹ {{{Flutter}}} – I know it’s annoying, but don’t let it ruin your mood! [/quote] Trying not to but going crazy between work and just blah. I need some very alone time to recharge, at least a few hours/half a day a week after my job and I spent most of my weekend surrounded by people. > [@](#): > > Wanna bet a lot of these expensive “untouched” cars are in this state because the owners who can afford to buy them in the first place can also afford teh work to keep them looking “new?” > To me, this is almost the pinnacle of worthless show-offiness, but hey, to each their own… Possibly. Some of the cars look worse than mine do, but some I really wonder about.. Well, my friend can fix it. In a couple weekends it looks like I’ll be sleeping over there and he can do his thing with the car, I pay him for the supplies and that’s it. Well, a little extra maybe (the tires need rotating too). Hope everyone else had a better day. Tomorrow will be fun too, because gov’t people will be coming in to audit our security for customs purposes and some sort of certification. I got told today we will be meeting with them at 8:30 tomorrow. :eek: Tomorrow night I think I’m going to the movies. It’s a more or less alonish place. I sometimes wish I could get more energy from hanging with people rather than being drained by too much. I do better than I used to, but I still need that couple hours alone don’t bug me time to be sane and non-grumpy and the car doesn’t seem to count because I’m distracted by traffic. ---

\*\*Haze \*\*and **Ivory** , whatever it is you’ve been drinking, I want some! Preferably, I’d like to drink **with** the two of you. And maybe **Meeks** , as well…? Could get interesting later? 😉 \*\*Ivory \*\*-- hope the 'rents are doing better (and have maybe been reunited…? Funny story, there!) \*\*Flutter \*\*-- I know… And it sounds like the problem isn’t really your car. Like you said, seems like you need some time to recharge, and feeling all down about the dent in the car is just a symptom of a more overall blues ☹ {{{Flutter}}} > [@Roo](#): > > Wow, it’s getting raunchy in here, and it’s not even the weekend yet. Just pointing out, it wasn’t me this time! And that I want in on the action! 😃 ---

Howdy all. {{{ **Ivory and family** }}} I hope both your parents pull through okay. {{{ **Flutter** }}} It’s tough when your baby gets a dent. I hope you feel happier soon! Been busy doing lots of running around that I wouldn’t normally have time to do if I were working (yep - 2 weeks off between jobs, w00t!!!). But today is just too hot to be out and about. Actual temperature of 45°C/113°F, but the heat index is apparently around **55°C** / **131°F**!!! :eek: Good weather for staying inside, in front of the air-conditioner, drinking iced tea, eating frozen grapes and fanning oneself with the latest copy of [_insert name of favourite snooty magazine here_]. 😃 ETA: Revised forecast indicates heat index of **136°F/58°C**!!! Gaaahhhhhh!!! ---

You’re setting up girls, **Lunch**? How out of character! So my handover notes are coming along slowly. Today I am about to be sabotaged by a set of committee papers that need copying and then apparently I need to walk around campus with the perishing things. ---

Mornin’, y’all. Last night, I had no dead people, annoying BS mail from insurance companies, nor carpets to clean. I got to sleep at 9 PM, was up at 0345 today, and I burned out the bearings on the exercise bike at the Y this morning. I hope the rest of the day goes as well as the warm-up did [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poetry-in-motion-todays-mmp/457240.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poetry-in-motion-todays-mmp/457240.md?page=9)
