I’m glad everyone finds me so easy on the eyes. Actually, I was a child model on and off when I was 8-9 years old.
If you think I look good…well, what do you think of my DAD?
That’s what he looks like now and he’s 50 years old. His girlfriend’s 26. (I’m 21, for the record.)
Remember Thomas Haden Church’s character from Sideways? Combine that with Jack Nicholson in Carnal Knowledge and that’s my dad.
:drools all over the MMP:
He’s cute too, but he’s also taken?
sighs Ah well, just my luck.
He’s “taken” but I don’t think that would hold him back.
Hmm… well since he’s dating a 26 year old I don’t think another year younger would phase him…
Don’t know what my Dad would say about that though.
Hot damn, how are both you AND your dad doin’, Mr. T? drools over hot men And if I’m voting, it was definitely the no-beard-cleaned-up shot that curled my toes!
I’m still feeling yucky, and have gotten zero work done today. Well, if you want to get technical, one paragraph. Yeah, I’m not gonna get rich that way. :rolleyes: But I definitely have teh innards sick. Yuck.
As an indication of just how yuck I feel, the new laptop ‘puter has arrived, but I just put the box on Papa Tigs’ desk and collapsed back into my own chair. Yeah, I’m definitely not at my best today. I guess I should open the box at some point, but that would involve moving. Screw it.
I did, however, learn something really cool. I knew some distant cousins on my mom’s side had done a lot of genealogy research, but they’ve gone and put it online. And it’s pretty accurate, too – I’m in there as an eighth generation descendant of Alexander Kirkpatrick. Although he stayed in Scotland, his descendants moved through Ireland before heading to America. But it’s really fun to see all those relatives I never knew I had! And there are indeed lots of them, apparently the Kirkpatricks have been a highly prolific bunch!
Back to doing nothing to speak of except sit here and tell myself I should get some work done. Sigh.
So, our big, urgent, mandatory meeting today? That everyone was on time for and had worried about for a week? Consisted of “Don’t drive people to the hospital if they are having a medical emergency” and “Don’t stand around watching someone **have ** a medical emergency, call 911.” And that was pretty much it. It took a second for everyone to switch gears, so the room looked like this: :eek: OMG, we’re all going to be FIRED 
Wait, what? :dubious: You had a meeting for this? People are awfully easy to scare right now, especially after what happened at Bear Stearns this week, but still.
I am very tired today. I’ve had insomnia for weeks now and I’d really like to get some sleep. I usually sleep better on the weekend, but not this time.
I did find these double-pointed needles amusing. You could knit socks for an elephant with them!
Ladies…Whether it’s true or not we’re acting like a sex starved bunch now. I hope we’re not scaring you away Mr. T. A new guy in our midst makes us all a little crazy, and this is a pretty crazy place anyway. 
Two words: Fresh Meat.
this is my favorite pic of you. yum yum. 
Hey, Dad, how *you * doin’?
(he’s probably closer to my age. is he single? ;))
Oooh. drools I’m going to go against the trend and say I liked the beard, though I’d happily take you without it as well! I think age-wise I’m in between you guys; I know I’m older than your dad’s girlfriend. Eeeeek!
Wow, I’m in there too, MT. Cool! Nine generations is a long way back, I’m impressed with the amount of work that’s gone into that list.
It’s awkward knitting though.
I have a set of 15mm DPNs that I knit a lovely hat on, but that was weird and then it felt even weirder going back to the needles I usually knit on.
Acting? Who’s acting?
That was mine too!
I missed the bit where Dad has a girlfriend : pout: 
Well, if he ever gets tired of explaining his pop references, tell him to give me a call. 
Hey, I know I’ve been posting a little less lately, but, really now…
Note to self: Must stop reading the Dope and start doing paperwork!
Shadow, are those DPNs or part of a vampire-killing kit? Just askin’.
Mr Swampington Bear, could you be ever so kind and airmail some of that BBQ goodness over this way? The great white north is disappointingly bereft of proper Southern-style BBQ, and your post gave me a wicked bad craving for a proper pulled pork sandwich with all the fixin’s.
Argent, looks like you’ll grown into a fine-looking specimen of manhood based on your dad’s example. Make sure you use that power for good, and not for evil.
jngl, we demand photographic evidence of the epic hat-head! Cite?
So I just woofed down a Big Mac and fries for lunch. My tummy will hate me, but it was the best I could do given that it was 2pm before I could pull away from my desk and grab food.
I’m thinking of making chicken with white wine and mushrooms for dinner tonight. But should I serve it with rice, or pasta? That is the burning question for the afternoon.
Oooh, tar AND feathers?
One cold Starbucks dark chocolate peppermint mocha and two donuts later (it’s one of those weeks) and I’m a bit more coherent. My god, I’m back on the junk, man! I was completely off caffeine five years ago…and then I started grad school.
What am I pissed about? Online class issues, the fact that I can’t talk to Decent Linguistics Prof until later this week, general “it’s too dark at 6:30 to be awake,” roommates yapping late last night, cat yowling to be let in let out let in let out all.night.long. and writer’s block on my comps paper. I really should have taken last week off, but I couldn’t. We have this Friday off and I should probably go on vacation then, but I know I won’t. I’m going to suck it up and take a week off to go West, Young Man at the end of the semester.
I’ve decided to go with this little number for my rampage.
How you doin’ indeed? The 70’s look works on you (that’s a compliment).
