Oh no, Bop is my favourite bit. Because I like bopping. Ginger, I think, is coincidental and has everything to do with my friend who first said it (sleep deprived, 4am, making it ryhme something in a song I think) is obsessed with my hair being red. "Ging" is absolutely the worst thing in the world, and get called that all the time in aol chat- the primary reason I neverever use it. Ging brings memories of 10 years of pisstaking in school.
Then the Barbekink thread made me feel all lovely.

Why Julia julie jools?
Tomorrow morning, another similar escapade. Might go swimming afterwards too. Is it wierd that I think Im getting a 6-pack? Will i soon sprout huge biceps and a penis?

Hehe. Im ashamed. I own a J-Lo catsuit. A denim long sleeved one with a zip all the way up the front, and a very very bad fur collar, or the most tasteless variety, luckily detachable and quickly detatched. I took the piss out of this thing for 4 months solid when I was trying to sell the damn things. There were 15 of them- for FOUR months in the busiest shop in town, and they would not budge. I tried one on out of curiosity. And I loved it. Wore it to work- they sold out the next day. I rawk!

AND it makes your bum look great. J-lo has a terrible ass, but wears the right clothes for it. Thats my theory anyway.

Bop it is, then. Cool, excellent choice. Why Julia julie jools? - I have absolutely *no* idea. And, I think catsuit-wearing should be strictly confined to superheroes. And supervillains. You should have to fight crime if you’re going to wear one. Or do crime, whatever. Er..


Well, I’m ever so sorry my dears, but I’m bailing out at this point. Gotta get into a bath now in order to get my hair dried in time to get to bed as soon as possible so I can get up at a hideously early hour. Yes, life would be much easier if I had a shower. But I do so love my bath. You can’t take a drink and a book into a shower. So: sleep well, don’t swim too much tomorrow, keep the ’lith informed of any weird physical transformations.

are there ANY pleasant, let alone erotic, euphemisms for testicles?

Um. I actually quite like "balls" myself (am I weird?) Otherwise... do you have to refer to them as such, or can you, sort of, pretend that no-one has ever discovered testicles as entities, and refer to them by their location, feel, etc - sort of more precise (because not using a euphemism) and more vague at the same time? "He moved his hand lower and felt the roughness of the skin there", sort of thing?

Otherwise... dunno. Just keep an eye out for writers you think do testicles well, I suppose.

And I'd love to see the story when it's done. What's the pairing?

Cant say. I only like my own.

Amateur! You can drink anywhere you wish. Practice dear boy, practice!!

Trying to stay up till 4 in the morning to watch "Willow": Bad Idea

So, I suppose all the cool kids have buggered off to their ‘live chat’ nonsense. Bah, humbug etc. Anyone uncool around?
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
22:32 / 22.02.04
I so totally am!
 
 
Bed Head
22:43 / 22.02.04
Suede! I’ve got to thank you actually: all the little post-it notes you’ve posted all over Barbelith about the God-like genius that is Pavement made me dust off my old copy of Slanted And Enchanted today...ah, bliss. Whatta record. My neighbours now officially hate me. And I don't care.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
23:17 / 22.02.04
Wow, that's great!

Most people hate me because lately I can't have a conversation without referencing them or mentioning them in some way at least once. I officially divert blame to Fluxington, though, who forced me to listen to what should be everyone's favourite band. Ever.
 
 
Mazarine
23:21 / 22.02.04
I'm not cool, but today was my birthday, so I get to pretend. : )

How's everyone doing?
 
 
Bed Head
23:30 / 22.02.04
Oh wow, happy birthday Maz! Oh, you’re very cool today, if it’s your birthday. It’s the law. Many happy returns, etc etc. Did you get any good prezzies?

Doing fine over here. Although I think everyone's favourite band. Ever. is maybe going a *little* too far, but hey - the joy of rediscovering that record was almost as fucking sweet as hearing it the first time was. All those many years ago.(/creaky old-man voice)
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
23:32 / 22.02.04
Happy Birthday, you!

No BH, it isn't. That is my perfect world. Pavement are kings.

It's just a phase.



Maybe.

You really need to listen to all five of their records in a row! To do them justice. And some live shows, in between.
 
 
Mazarine
23:35 / 22.02.04
Their cover of "Killing Moon" is to die for. And thank you!
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
23:39 / 22.02.04
Maz: You are so totally the coolest right now!

I seem to accidentally be appropriating so much American language. However, as a child of television, it is my adopted culture.
 
 
Bed Head
23:44 / 22.02.04
Like, really!

Mmm, I really should catch up on the middle records. I got S+E when it came out, then listened to, uh, other stuff for a while, then got Terror Twilight when it came out, which was a bit confusing. Yeah, you’re right, I’ll join the dots. It’s now on my actual list of ‘things to look out for at the right price next time I have any cash anyway’. Underlined in red.

They did a cover of ‘Killing Moon’? golly, that sounds great. Although, even Westlife couldn’t very well cock that song up.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
23:52 / 22.02.04
At one point, each and every one of pavement's records has been my ABSOLUTE favourite record of all time. So it all adds up to immensity.

Flux = gateway drug has consistently fuelled my obsession and I have become the insane fanatic I am today.

Their killing moon cover is pretty excellent.

I am still set on making my friend like Pavement although all he will ever say is they sound too "college rock" for him, and he doesn't like Malkmus' voice. I will break him.

I will stop talking about Pavement now, honest. Look what you did, BH.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAZ!!!

Oh...look..its night time and I'm lateshifting. I feel the rush!!!

23:57 / 22.02.04
FEEL IT, MOTHERFUCKER!

I got slapped for saying that once.
 
 
Mazarine
00:01 / 23.02.04
Did anyone make the Mono/Stoat wedding?
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:02 / 23.02.04
Maybe Mono and Stoat?
 
 
Mazarine
00:05 / 23.02.04
Thbpt. I meant in a guest capacity, you Canadian dope. (Wings a pie at you).
 
 
Bed Head
00:07 / 23.02.04
Wow, Kegboy, how’d you do that? It’s so pretty! eeny writing.

And - slapped hard or slapped in jest?

And - I got a football kicked in my bollocks today, completely accidentally, but I discovered I’d actually wiped from my memory what that feels like, it’s been so long since I’ve been kicked down there. Won’t forget again for a while now.

And - I'm hoping Stoatie himself will turn up again at some point to tell us how wonderful it all is.

The whole marriage-thing, I mean.
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:28 / 23.02.04
lol!

eeny writting?
 
 
Mazarine
00:35 / 23.02.04
Okay, when y'all lose the remote, where do you tend to find it? My dad put mine someplace while visiting, and now we can't find the damned thing. Teleophoned my dad and he swore it was within arm's length of the set, but so far it hasn't turned up.
 
 
Bed Head
00:48 / 23.02.04
My last video had a button on it, so when you lost the remote you could push the button and the video would send out a special beep, and the remote would hear it and send out a little ‘I’m here!’ beep in reply. When I first got the video, I’m reading the instructions, and I think this is the most stupid idea I’ve ever heard: until a week later, when I actually lose the remote control under something in the pit of a room in which I was living. It’s a *genius* idea. Everything I own should have something similar.

Er, that doesn’t help you any, Maz. Look on the shelves and windowsills. For some reason, I often put things down as I’m walking past shelves without actually meaning to.
 
 
Mazarine
01:14 / 23.02.04
That's okay, we found it, the cat pointed the way. She is most clever. It was not where my dad said he left it, but all is right with the world again.
 
 
Saint Keggers
19:00 / 23.02.04
Some lithers better be here or I swear Im going to go watch Oprah!!!
 
 
Cat Chant
19:07 / 23.02.04
Hey, Keggers. I'm typing up notes on Empire. I like Empire but sometimes I feel like I shouldn't. Sort of like Friends. What's happening on Oprah?
 
 
Cat Chant
19:08 / 23.02.04
God, I'm really tired, though. Doing my taiji training and then having my dinner & a glass of wine is bad preparation for academic work.

Oh, hey, happy birthday, Maz! I missed it, so you get to still be the coolest where I'm concerned till I'm all caught up.
 
 
Saint Keggers
19:12 / 23.02.04
Hi Deva!
Empire?
Oprah is having her popstar finale. So I decided to stick Firefly into the DVD player instead.
You're not supposed to mix alchohol and Taiji. I dont recall why but thats what my taiji teacher told me. (this is assuming taiji=tai chi)
But now I think im going to have some wine. All your fault.
 
 
Mazarine
19:27 / 23.02.04
Hi darlings. Sitting and doing homework, just thought I'd hello.
 
 
Mazarine
19:28 / 23.02.04
Aww, thanks Deva! It was a nice day. : )
 
 
Cat Chant
19:31 / 23.02.04
Look, everyone's here!

I did my taiji training *first*, then cooked for half an hour, then had a glass of wine with the food... is that still wrong? (Yes, taiji = t'ai chi, but it has slightly fewer characters in it so it's easier to type). Empire = big tome by Hardt & Negri about globalization, was huge bestseller in, er, 2000 or something. I seem to remember that Crunchy hates it, so I should only talk about it in whispers.

glad it was a nice day, Maz!
