So, here's a new shift, except it's not - but maybe it is!

Anyhow, what were we just discussing a moment ago? Before tropes got in the way?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:55 / 30.11.07
I was trying to trick Veng into putting up some pix.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:56 / 30.11.07
I had just started a new new lateshift but then when I saw this one I deleted it. No pics for you!
 
 
Papess
03:58 / 30.11.07
yeah...pics. like my lolbuddhas.
 
 
This Sunday
03:59 / 30.11.07
Psst! Don't show Papers any, sure, but c'mon, for me? Piccies!
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:01 / 30.11.07
nope
not going to happen
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

LolBuddha wantz nuffin.

Warring lateshifts tumble and scamper over the tundra, looking for domination.
 
 
Papess
04:05 / 30.11.07
Damn, that is good Papers. I am not very good with the kitteh.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:09 / 30.11.07
You just have to be ungrammatical and demanding. That's the secret.
 
 
This Sunday
04:12 / 30.11.07
Nice, but there's still no pic. Someone LOLbuddha us, and LOLbuddha us good! Pic and text and kittteh!

All I have are pictures of a dog eating a carrot and me asleep on a boat. These sound better than they are.
 
 
Papess
04:12 / 30.11.07
Erm, yeah...I can do that.

Look in the Kitteh thread.
 
 
Papess
04:15 / 30.11.07
Here. Right here.
 
 
This Sunday
04:17 / 30.11.07
Okeh, sated. And settled into the notion that this will just remain a picture-less thread, because Veng won't grace us with... sob.

And someone brought me fried mushrooms in lemon pepper! Yay and yum. Of course, then they left, which is less yay, but well, at least they thought of me enough to bring food.

And there's a confirmation on tonight's celebratory liquid serving.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:20 / 30.11.07
I want lemon pepper. And more iced tea, apparently.
 
 
Papess
04:21 / 30.11.07
Sated? Oh crumb. I worked hard on those.

Why are people delivering food to you without your knowledge, Deca?
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:24 / 30.11.07
WEll good people,its time for me to go toe bed. Gnight all.
 
 
This Sunday
04:25 / 30.11.07
They're very proud of the dish and have grand dreams of being on the Food Network some day... and apparently I looked like I was starved earlier. I'd argue out of principle, but, no I wouldn't because I don't turn down food. Out of principle.

What's weirding me a bit is that they delivered and then disappeared. I mean, you bring a dish all hot and yummy, you don't just pop back out with a bye, enjoy, and go on your way. That's not how it's done!
 
 
Papess
04:25 / 30.11.07
me too. must sleep.
 
 
This Sunday
04:26 / 30.11.07
G'night, then, those heading for bed.

I'll enjoy my mushrooms, and hopefully Papers will enjoy more tea.

Come back by and shift again soon and all that.

I'm still here. Spelunking the music forum in search of new tunes. Though that Vonnegut is whispering things to me again.
 
 
This Sunday
04:32 / 30.11.07
I have a formula of injustice in literature that goes something like 'X is dead... and Tom Wolfe is still allowed to write books,' I have to append Vonnegut to, now that he, too, has sadly had his career halted by the being dead thing. (Started with a Thomas Wolfe vs Tom Wolfe sentiment, and it sorta rolled downhill gathering icy laments from there.)

I really want to tear my apartment up looking for the paperback of Cat's Cradle I know is hiding around.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:41 / 30.11.07
I'd like to finish Cat's Cradle one day - halfway through I lost all interest. But it had a lot of good stuff in there, as well.

I still think I like Sirens of Titan best, though.

I found an old klezmer song I really like! Palesteena! "She was fat but she got leaner, leaning on her concetina..."

'k, I'm jetting for the night. Need to clean up my eye and then lie in the dark with some random CBC podcast until I'm lulled into the not-thinking and then the yes-dreaming.

Maybe they're made from POISON MUSHROOMS!!!! Muahahahahaha!

Or maybe the person is like me and self-conscious about their cooking.

Well, if it's poison, it's slow-acting. But they're not forthcoming with an explanation beyond not wanting to disturb me.

I always feel a little like a jerk telling people it's perfectly fine for them to disturb me, but I did my best.

Hellloooo Everyone!

Keep the noise down.

Hey, Veng.

Whomever else is around.

How's all?
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:19 / 01.12.07
Im alright. I just finished a three day painting stint and now I have until next wednesday off.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:21 / 01.12.07
and you?
 
 
This Sunday
03:27 / 01.12.07
Very happy that I don't get hangovers. Because I drank enough last night I really should still have one.
 
 
This Sunday
03:40 / 01.12.07
And I'm still in shock - shock I tell you - at how impervious to small moments of kindness or pain Hollywood people are. I keep trying to pretend like I live on the same planet just 'cause I live in the same geographic region, but fuck, someone recently asked my why someone in a script would walk over and help someone up who had just fallen, when they don't know them. And, why a woman would go to dinner with a group of friends knowing someone who used her callously was also going to be there, and then just sit and eat her soup, not addressing the issue or the person at all.

I should stop using the strike as an excuse to run stuff by people for suggestions and commentary. The hell with the peanut gallery.

Anyhow, how long's the mural got left, do you figure?
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:43 / 01.12.07
Maybe you can try to sell your scripts up in Canada?

I figure minimum another 2 bouts of 3 days and a final three day for the bcakground

I shouldn't even say/write 'people' since I basically just mean men. By and large I find working with women to be much less head-stabby in this town. LA wants to make me a misandrist. But, yeah, I'm thinking Canada might be a good leap for me. Amy Burt's This Boy was Canadian after all, and I love that thing atrociously.

I accidentally got my grandparents in a minor argument on the phone the other day, because my grandma took umbrage at my referencing myself as a southerner. She's pretty sure her Canadian blood trumps anything else. My grandpa, hot-blooded southerner as he is, disagreed and the two literally cut me out of the conversation to continue the argument. United only in their conviction that everybody between is inferior to either... okeh, not quite that bad, but it was a little weird and I did suddenly get a yen for Alberta.

As much as I'd like to tell a couple of eighty-year-olds to play nice, I suppose they need their fun.

Heck, when I'm that age I just hope I ain't alone, arguing with myself about whether coffee trumps whisky or the other way 'round, too senile to understand they can be mixed.
