Singular Lateshift grazing in an open field.

06:07 / 09.08.07

Yeah, those are good too. But clearly my brain made me gloss over 'cake' for its own purposes.

I'll be kicking around dreamland any time now, I think.

01:56 / 10.08.07

So, who's around?

Our mock flamewar's a bit of a kick in the brains, and I found another excuse to type 'Utena' and 'monkey' onto Barbelith, but there's nothing like a lateshift.

02:19 / 10.08.07

"there's nothing like a lateshift...there's nothing like a lateshift...there's no place like home..."

Im here. Testing out the first glass of my newest batch of wine. Tastes very young. Still have 4-6 weeks that I should let it age before bottling it.

How'syou DN?

02:23 / 10.08.07

Out of coffee and alcohol, but it was hot and sticky out all day, so I wasn't about to go to the grocery store. Pains of being on foot.

So, tea. Lots of green tea.

And actually doing pretty good. Friend of mine just called to say the job I recommended her for is hers, which is nice. New submissions get printed tonight and go out in the morning. A day that calls for optimism.

02:25 / 10.08.07

Huzzah for you, and your friend in new job, and optimism.

I have a life filled with booze. Thats all the optimism I need (or will most likely ever get)

02:28 / 10.08.07

I'm here. Well. I'm at work for another half hour and then on a bus for a half-hour after that, but I'm awake.

02:30 / 10.08.07

Hi Papers! Will you be joining us after your voyage home?

02:37 / 10.08.07

I will. I'll need some distraction while I transcribe the last few pages of first draft that I've been putting off.

02:38 / 10.08.07

JoIN Us PaPErS! JOiN us!

I've drank enough green tea it doesn't even taste bitter any more. Is that supposed to happen?

02:40 / 10.08.07

Does it smell fish? I find a lot of the green tea I buy smells like fish.

ugh

02:41 / 10.08.07

Not really, no. You must buy the expensive kind, if it smells like fish.

02:42 / 10.08.07

or just stick to coffee.

02:43 / 10.08.07

Expensive Fish Tea! Amazing medicinal powers!

02:44 / 10.08.07

YAY! I have a big bottel of Merlot and lots of pretty smelling, ethical beauty things I am smelling. Because I like smelling stuff!

02:44 / 10.08.07

You keep your snake-oil away from me, Papers!

02:45 / 10.08.07

*raises glasses*

Cheers M.O.!
(clink)

02:50 / 10.08.07

clink!

Gosh, I am so happy. I have such an awesome neighbour. I wish I was half the parent she was. But that would mean I would have 2.5 children.

My math mihgt not be very good.

02:52 / 10.08.07

She has 5 kids?

02:59 / 10.08.07

Yes. One of them is severely disabled.

Her teenage daughter is amazingly mature and a delight to talk to. Gosh, I am proud of them! I feel a little emo, they are such great kids!

03:07 / 10.08.07

WHere is everyone? I wanted to play! I am a lonely and overgrown drunken child!

Wait..glass empty.

03:10 / 10.08.07

I've not gone.

I think when after Ive died Im going to make it a point to haunt the lateshift threads.

03:14 / 10.08.07

I'm here. Sort of. Phone keeps distracting me.

03:14 / 10.08.07

YAY! Lateshift Hauntings!

Why don't my left nails grow? CAn I still type well? I am trying to.

Keggers, can you stroke my ransom wand tonight? I miss it.

03:15 / 10.08.07

Dammit, DN. No wonder I cannot get through!

03:20 / 10.08.07

Consider it done.

I've noticed that my wine glass has a clear glass-like finish at the bottom instead of its dark red wine colour. I must go fix this discrepancy.

03:21 / 10.08.07

I swear, some people are so mad I can't even parody they're insanity without lapsing into directly reproducing them. This is sad.

03:22 / 10.08.07

Or drink from the bottle!

03:24 / 10.08.07

I swear, some people are so mad I can't even parody they're insanity without lapsing into directly reproducing them. This is sad.

Brilliant. I believe I can comprehand this...even in this state.

03:25 / 10.08.07

That's 'their' there, not 'they're.' I can't spell and listen to the phone, apparently.

03:27 / 10.08.07

Anyone who is reading this board and can't decipher a simple typo, should just join Penguin CLub with pretext.

03:30 / 10.08.07

Or drink from the bottle!
No bottle, I'm siphoning from the carbuoy.

Yes D.N, I can certainly understand what you're saying and where you're coming from.

03:31 / 10.08.07

Hoy! I return, from the transit-rocket on which I whizzed, whizzed I say, across town. I'm all sleepy but going to keep myself going for a few hours of productive writerliness.

03:31 / 10.08.07

Carbouys!

I have nothing to drink. WOE, O INCANDESCENT WOE~!

03:32 / 10.08.07

Oh Papers, you must tell me where you are, so I can send you a bottle when its properly finished.
