Just post what you feel like saying. Stories, small talk, jokes, lame rants. I won’t make you conform in _here._
I had some sushi and now I’m farting. This may have to do with the sushi or it could have been building all day and coincidentally released at this time.
My boots leak.
My boss smelled like bologna today. It was vile.

I just pigged out on microwave popcorn following a dinner of salmon. I was REALLY hungry after walking 15 long blocks from the downtown bus stop.
It’s supposed to snow on Monday. I’ll believe it when I see it; winter storms in DC are notoriously tough to forecast.
The cable connecting the DVD player to the VCR needs replacement. Picture quality of anything played on that machine has gone all to pot.
No good movies opening this weekend but I do have a 25%-off coupon for Borders; also a 20%-off at Macy’s.

I’m grumpy.
Come home from work, (which sucked, apparently it was Attitude Day, and I missed the announcement) and found out the woman was going to have to 'work" late, so i get some housework done - laundry, vacumn, clean the litter boxes, sweep/mop the floor under the litter boxes empty the dishwasher, then start dinner.
THEN she calls and says she’s on the 6:50, because they stopped for a couple drinks.
So excuse the fuck out of me, sorry I had to rush you home so we could eat together, ya know?
But it’s getting better, dinner is almost done, I’ll eat, she can eat cold leftovers and I’ll start getting happily drunk.
But on the bright side, i did fix the hat on the lighted snowman outside so it won’t keep falling off.

I made two loaves of bread yesterday. By hand, literally – no machine. Mmm. And there’s still one whole loaf and about 2 slices of the other one left.

Someone here read my post in the thread about what we want for Christmas and sent this ONE THING I really wanted! I just got it today, and I don’t even know who sent it.
This gift has made me happier than anyone could ever know. Not just to get what I really wanted for once, but because a stranger did something so nice for no reason at all.
I’m going to try to figure it out tonight and make some sort of official thank you thread…

1. **Inigo Montoya** wins.
2. I ate everything edible in my dorm room Tuesday night. I always keep a stash of snacks in case I get hungry, and I just ate all of it. Soooo, now I have nothing, and I don’t want to splurge on restocking. :smack:
3. we need fully interfaceable IM clients. When my friend using Trillian sends a cow smiley to my gaim, I wanna see it goddammit! :mad:
Q) The Arrogant Worms are awesome and they’re coming to play at RPI in April! 😃
i) I like chocolate.
# of licks it takes to get the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop) Also pie. Mmmm pie.

I want to go see Great Big Sea when they play in Montreal, but none of my friends want to come with me. ☹
The Canadiens are playing like chimps on skates lately. Makes me want to go to a game, because yelling at them through my TV screen is having very little effect on their performance.
My man told he misses me and was thinking about me all day. I can’t decide whether that will make the three weeks left before I see him again easier to live through, or harder, but I’m happy to hear he’s missing me as much as I’m missing him.
I aced my evaluation for my first rotation of my medical lab technologist internship. Really aced, as in 100%! Go me!

I thought you said **virile**.
I got confused at that.
I just got a new GPS…I’m now MUCH less likely to get lost. This makes me happy.
Some GPS’s can have new voices downloaded into 'em. Popular ones are John Cleese, Burt Reynolds and Mr. T.

Mr. Frail and I are having a party. We just moved to NYC a few months ago and have finally made some friends. The party was scheduled to start at 9PM.
It’s 10:48.
No one’s here.
The nachos are looking sad and the drinks are getting warm. I changed into my pajamas.

Let me get this straight, you have nachos and drinks and you’re…sad?
New York sucks. Move to Denver…and invite me over for your housewarming party.

My grocery list:
bread
kitty litter
frozen veggies
cabbage
butter
taco sauce
low-sodium chicken broth
razors for the hubby
laundry detergent
some kind of roast
carrots
various impulse purchases/ stuff I forgot
I think I’ll make a nice veggie soup this weekend. And the chocolate cake my husband requested weeks ago.
I’m out of Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint Soap, which is a bad thing. It makes my naughty bits tingle, which is a good thing.
I’m on Day 12 of an IBS attack due to stress. No amount of fiber or Pepto is helping. I think I’m going to shit myself to death. All of this is leaving me listless, and cranky.
My cell phone makes my compuker screen do a cool dance when it rings.
The washers in the shower faucet need replacing, so I’m hearing a drip… drip… drip. That could be either comforting or maddening, depending on my mood.
Papaya lotion smells like heaven.

I didn’t know it was THAT kind of party. 😉

Once I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I’ll never know.

I have a nasty cold and missed 3 day of work this week.
I did try to go to work this morning but it snowed all night and I almost ended up in a ditch. I turned around and came home.
I got some Christmas wrapping done today. If I do a little each day I should be done by Christmas.
I sold an Italian lead crystal chandelier on eBay for $220 only to have the buyer back out. I offered it to the second high bidder at $10 less than his high bid and he offered $100 instead. The high bidder is getting his first negative feedback and the second high bidder is a :wally .
Any suggestions on keeping cats out of the Christmas tree? I am considering enclosing the whole thing in chicken wire. My wife said go for it but she would get pissed if I did.
Junior Mints are better than York Peppermint patties. I just did a side by side comparison.

[Buster Brown comics from 1903 were creepy.](http://www.barnaclepress.com/comics/archives/comedy/buster_brown/index.html#) (Warning: People in 1903 were racist. The comics occasinally reflect that in bizarre ways, but I’ve not seen any that are _seriously_ offensive. All blacks are blackface caricatures, all Italians are ‘Dagos’ who speak with a bad accent, and I think Mexicans are given the Al Jolson treatment once or twice as well. I’ve seen worse in art from decades later.)
It’s goddamn cold and snowy out there. It will all melt on Thursday or Friday, thus making it goddamn muddy out there.
The Oblio Joes rule. The Volumen rule. Kenny Brown rules.
I want a Minature Action Jesus for Christmas.
‘Compuker’ is a word I know I’ll apply to a machine at least once in the future.

I made stew out of left over pot roast fixins and meat tidbits. It is almost ready to eat. 🙂
I am going to the DMV tomorrow to register my new truck. (Yep the DMV is open on Saturdays in Las Vegas)
I was windy here today… wind sucks.
radishes. dog eating squirrels. petite marshmallows.
