What are you doing here? It's Friday night thru Monday morning, why aren't you out shakin' that ass or whatever?

My excuse: I work weekends.

Can I tell you something? It's personal.

My mother is a pretty terrible cook.

Stoatie! Lateshift Weekend Warrior, you are the boss of the Barbelith underbelly!

That's quite possibly the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.

You know what we should totally do? We should totally have a contest. Or maybe a raffle. Prizes! Or, I know, a bake sale! And in the summer we'll do a bathing suit carwash. We could use the money to save the Books forum.

Be glad. If your mom was a great cook you would probably end up marrying someone that didn't cook quite as good. Now you're almost guranteed that whoever you marry will be a better cook than your mom.

Whens the wedding?

8===>Q: alyn

03:37 / 15.01.05

When's the wedding?!? Motherfucker, it's in three hours, where are you with the ring and my cumberbundt?

My daughter and I were having a sword fight (with screwdrivers because I don't own any swords) earlier and she yelled out "You're gonna pay for that, pirate!"

Then, seconds later:

"Four dollars!"

What, you can't just bend up another spoon?

8===>Q: alyn

03:42 / 15.01.05

No, your sister ruined them all with butane.

8===>Q: alyn

03:43 / 15.01.05

Wait. Let me make that joke again.

No, that fancy little butane torch you bought your sister ruined all my spoons.

bio k9

03:43 / 15.01.05

Use a fork.

8===>Q: alyn

03:44 / 15.01.05

"Four dollars!"

She's a cheap date!

03:44 / 15.01.05

Okay, I'm going to bed. I have to move some pots around tomorrow.

Weekends in this place, well, they are a little quiet.

I bought a jar (JAR!) of wine gums yesterday, and then sat in and played a football management game in an attempt to not over spend and over drink every weekend because a) it's that fabulous tax time of year and b) I'm trying to save money.

Dreamt that I was shopping for an engagment ring and putting houseplants in a bath.

It was my last day of work yesterday so I am happy. I'm also hungover and staring blearily at the screen is about all I am capable of, hence my presence here.

What the heck are wine gums?

iamus

13:41 / 15.01.05

Keggers, Keggers, Keggers...

First crumpets, now Wine Gums!?! What sort of backwards educational system do they have in Canada? Next you'll be saying you don't know what Macaroon is.

iamus

13:43 / 15.01.05

And no, it's nothing to do with macaroni

Saint Keggers

13:49 / 15.01.05

Of course I know what macaroon is! Its that horrid song/dance that was being played EVERYWHERE a few years back. Sheesh!

I'm at a conference on 'The Feminine and the Sacred', of all things. I skipped the middle panel of the day to get some transcription done and now I have a headache due to listening to a man mumbling at me for three hours. Mumbling about lots of people with Nigerian names, what's more, which I have no idea how to spell, so half the time I can't tell whether he's saying something in English I can't hear properly or listing Nigerian sculptors. Now I'm waiting for the next panel to start (I know! Start! At 4:00pm!) but I'm in such a bad mood I don't know if there's even any point staying on.

Touché!
