That should read: I just got here, Maz.
Thats the problem with typing while paying attention to other things...

i think the best 'lith shirt would say: 'i've seen a real, live tiger!'

um..why?

Hoorah! Company! I've come to the conclusion that I just can't make myself go to bed at 9:30. I only get home from class at 9, I need to wind down. So while my sweetie slumbers, I remain.

How are you tonight?

Saint Keggers

01:26 / 29.05.03

Fabulous! Spent the whole day waiting in the hospital with an 82yr old because his wife had to go out and couldnt take him to the emergency and he didnt want to go in an ambulance....and they had no chairs.

Mazarine

01:28 / 29.05.03

Wow, you're really sweet.

Saint Keggers

01:35 / 29.05.03

Yeah, I'm an old softy from way back when...

The Return Of Rothkoid

01:39 / 29.05.03

I'm pretty good. Just back from a work course (so must work extra hard now) but heard some lovely things yesterday, even though spack-filling of self wasn't ultimately put to use. So am feeling Extra Good. Rock!

Mazarine

01:44 / 29.05.03

I think for Barbelith t-shirts to be truly bitchin' one would need an icon on the front, quote on the back, or maybe icon/picture and quote on the same side. I wouldn't hate a shirt featuring a total eclipse, captioned by my own "When I stare at the sun, the sun goes blind, baby." But that's like three different layers of egomania.

Ever since Snape as bronze age terrorist was mentioned in a previous late shift, and since I've picked up The Secret History again, I've had the two notions floating around in my head. Today they collided, and I've come up with what may well be The Worst Idea in the World, which would be Harry Potter/The Secret History crossover fanfiction. One half of my brain is screaming "No! A world of no!" while the other, sicker half is wondering if it could be done, and what the results would look like. Train wreck, yes, but how many casualties....

I implore someone to talk me down.

spack-filling?

I'm wowed (and very pleased) by the staying power of Rothky's good mood.

Saint Keggers

01:48 / 29.05.03

"When I stare at the sun, the sun goes blind, baby." I LOVE IT!!!!
That's brilliant! (no pun intended). Did you come up with that? Can I design the shirt?

Mazarine

01:52 / 29.05.03

-shuffles feet- well, yeah... I've only made it into the Barbequotes thread like twice, but yeah.

Mazarine

01:53 / 29.05.03

And thank you, I'm totally blushing.

Saint Keggers

01:54 / 29.05.03

Hey don't be so hard on yourself. I too have only made it in there twice...and only in the last month.

Mazarine

02:04 / 29.05.03

I'd totally dig a t-shirt saying something like "Where you goin'?" (as sort of mentioned above) but I'm afraid people might think it's a business slogan, ripping off microsoft or something.

Mazarine

02:16 / 29.05.03

Or for that matter, a shirt saying "Look, a bunny!" would be pretty great. Especially if there was a very small bunny on it someplace.

Saint Keggers

02:16 / 29.05.03

It seems that in the which superhero thread people think im either Nightcrawler back in his swashbuckling days (I didnt know he had swashbuckling days...doesn't everyone?) or Starman. When I head starman I think of the David Bowie movie, although I believe it was called the Man who fell to earth.

The Return Of Rothkoid

02:17 / 29.05.03

Spack-filling; polyfilla, no-more-gaps, call it what you will. Involves scraping gunk into crevices to give a smooth (nay, boyish) appearance. Prettification.

As for the persistence of a good mood? Hard to pin it down. But when someone's really nice to me, I tend to be "aw, shucks" for a long time.

So is now where I go "ROTHKOID SMASH!" to even things out? You know, to keep my rep all hard and stuff.

Ahem.

Mmm... listening to The Cramps. Sorta in prep for the gig I'm going to on the weekend. Which isn't The Cramps, instead, but is Zombie Ghost Train, which will be just as good. Because they invoke mummies. And stuff.

Mazarine

02:23 / 29.05.03

I think the Starman they're referring to is the DC incarnation who popped up in the 90s. Lemme see if I can find you a picture. I haven't ventured into that thread, I'm too afraid I'm going to be pegged as Aunt May.

Saint Keggers

02:27 / 29.05.03

Yeah I know who he is...I have a friend who still rants about how they just ended his comic.

Aunt May??? I dont think so. Maybe one of the Wonder Twins...you know, the girl...ol whats'er name.

Mazarine

02:35 / 29.05.03

My sweetie and I were talking about superhero movies, and we agreed that Nicholas Brendon would make a really good Zan- is that the boy's name? Zan and Jayce or something like that? I could just see him bitching about how he's always water based. "And... I'm a puddle. What a shock."

Mazarine

02:52 / 29.05.03

Well, I must to bed. Night my dears. Form of a sleeping person.

Saint Keggers

02:55 / 29.05.03

Nah, I think Macauly Caulkin would be perfect. I hated the wondertwits.

Im calling this "what kegboy does while he waits for lateshift to update"

The Return Of Rothkoid

03:24 / 29.05.03

Ooooh. Me wanty.

Have just modded to resize yr pic, too. That's the biggest rabbit in the world.

Saint Keggers

03:26 / 29.05.03

But its fit-for-printing big! (Yeah it was much smaller in photoshop)
Mod away!

03:35 / 29.05.03

Wow that's huge! You're one strange fella' Keggers. But ya' know, this morning while I was watching the sun rise and listening to the birds singing the sun into the sky, one of the neighbourhood rabbits hopped out onto the grass behind the house and did some eating and preening. It was pretty nice--one of the moments where you're kinda' groovin' with Nature and stuff.

Saw a really brief but spectacular display of Northern Lights last night as well. Best so far this year!

Rothkoid, did you notice I ran with your idea and started a thread on advertising?

So how you all doin'?

_pin

22:02 / 29.05.03

I'm here.

I've had several _PINSTUPIDSHITSMASH moments in the past two days, including the one where I trached my department's crappy cheap-assed display folder for our shifts mere days after they bought everyone new ones and repainted the board they're pinned to and then, a couple of hours later, I busted a soap dispenser with the awesome power of the palm of my right hand.

I also dreamt the reflect was a geography teacher and he pinned me to the wall, by my neck, with his head.

Plus, I appear to be incapable of thinking anything in the world is about anything other then the universe trying to kill me slowly and painfully.

Tryphena Absent

22:10 / 29.05.03

The world's not trying to kill you- it loves you.

Erm- I have shorter red hair everyone. Hooray. And nothing to do. Double hooray. And tomorrow I have to drive my mad housemate home and spend two hours in a car with her and all she talks about is her breasts, her new clothes (whoever would have thought that would be a problem) and the man she has never met and probably will never meet. Not so hooray.

_pin

22:14 / 29.05.03

Whoo! You! I was gonna txt you, but that takes so long, and I was gonna email you, but I'm scared that may be crossing a personal line, and I was gonna PM you but fuck it you're here now-

well done for finishing yr exams!

Put a hole in that girl's fleshy surfaces for me, will you?

_pin

22:20 / 29.05.03

And it's not the world, it's THE UNIVERSE. Really. All of it. After me. No shit!

Also, please explain what the appeal of kitten heels is, as you know fashion. I am confused by them. Am I meant to find them cute? Sexy? Appealing in some, any way? Something, anything, other then spiteful, mean looking little things? they're like the phsyical manifestation of people telling slightly exagerated versions of yr deepest secrets like a joke with you in the room expected to laugh along.

Yuagh.

Tryphena Absent

22:34 / 29.05.03

Kitten heels have style. Their appeal is the stylistic bitchiness of the things. Plus you know, wear them and the universe can't get through the shields they put up. Really. No shit!

Thanks for the well dones- I am drowning in the relief of it all! I thought it would never finish and that was while I was doing such a good job of ignoring it!

Saint Keggers

22:36 / 29.05.03

What are Kitten heels?

_pin

22:45 / 29.05.03

Here's a story about the Conservative Party Chairwoman wearing them. Imagine that purple loepard print front, but with a tool for poking yr eyes out on the back.

Saint Keggers

22:58 / 29.05.03

If a supervillainess was in a rush to change back into her everyday clothing and forgot to remove her costumes shoes..it would look like that first picture. Funky shoes...dead giveaway.
