Lateshift Hates the Dreaded Page Nine!

I'm up! Coming down from some wine and mutter-happy. You?

00:14 / 20.08.08

Trying to make the word things work for me, after which I have to work on Grad School applications. Annoying. I want some wine.

00:17 / 20.08.08

You're going to grad school?

What's yer Major?

00:19 / 20.08.08

I'm applying to go to Grad School in Sept 2009, if I get off my ass and organized and get all my shit out there. I'm applying for Creative Writing programs.

00:25 / 20.08.08

Cool!

Next week I'll be starting classes towards an Associates in Graphic Design, which means I'll be working full time and going to school full time, which is a daunting prospect.

00:26 / 20.08.08

I have a few friends right now that are doing that--working/schooling full-time at the same time--and as long as you're keeping track of your own fatigue levels, you'll probably be fine. Are you excited about the school?

00:28 / 20.08.08

Hello everyone. All this talk of study and schooling.. oh the good old days.

00:29 / 20.08.08

Yes, though I'm apprehensive about the money thing, as I missed the deadline for getting a loan. I applied to have my job reimburse me the tuition, so hopefully that will come through.

I just don't wanna add to my credit card debt If I don't have to.

Hey Keggers!

(Sticks head out of school locker)
Hey Liger!

00:34 / 20.08.08

Hey, Kegs. How's it going?

00:38 / 20.08.08

Arrrgh..all these name changes!!

Hi whoever you are!

00:40 / 20.08.08

Papers, a few incarnations back.

00:40 / 20.08.08

Methinks ze's Papers.

Eeeeek! Cross-post!

PAPERS!!!

Hey how's it going!

01:11 / 20.08.08

What? Is it the fear of being the one to post a page nine?

01:13 / 20.08.08

'm fine. I just wrote a short-short story and now I'm going to the market for eats prior to giving myself to the portfolio monster.

Back in fifteen or twenty.

01:27 / 20.08.08

I love short, short fiction. Lately I've been in love with the idea of the six-word story.

A buddy "indefinitely loaned"(his words not mine) me a guitar and an amp(this is the same guy who's helped get me more seriously thinking about what the occult in the past year, and what it means throughout my life...Josh has gone, in that year, from being "guy I met at karaoke" to "serious positive influence on my life"), and through this, I've discovered the one of the scarier things in the world is Dick Dale's friggin' guitar skills. Great Rao, as Superman might say.

01:43 / 20.08.08

Welcome to the Shift, Blue. Cocktails at the bar--no charge, on the house, utterly free.

Who's Dick Dale? I suppose I could google, but there you go.

I got stuff to make nachos this fine evening, as well as dark chocolate and raspberries for dessert.

01:44 / 20.08.08

I have nothing but crackers and wine. Some things do not complement each other.

01:51 / 20.08.08

I could do with some wine. Wanna digitize it, maybe set up a torrent?

Liquor store...too...far...away. Which is tragic, because it's a wet evening that demands some wine.

01:53 / 20.08.08

Wanna digitize it, maybe set up a torrent?

Not just yet.
But the research shall continue!

01:54 / 20.08.08

What's the wine you're drinkin', Kegsy? White or red? Kind of grape?

01:55 / 20.08.08

Chokecherry!

01:56 / 20.08.08

Well, I've been around. Formerly TheSauce; I can't even remember why I changed to BlueEyes, really(I think it was a whim one night after the bar, when a friend called me).

Dick Dale is the King of Surf Guitar; probably most famous for the song "Misirlou", which was featured in Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. The man's 71 years old and still plays guitar so fast that he melts picks(apocryphal, but I've heard the story from a buddy of mine who's usually pretty good about not embellishing things like that). And the handy link.

I've got nothing. I seriously need to go food shopping, and pick up that third of a bottle of vodka I left at my buddy's place Friday night.

02:00 / 20.08.08

You left a bottle there since friday and you still have hope that its there? Wow.

02:08 / 20.08.08

My friends aren't big fans of vodka. Plus, Dan has mentioned that it's still sitting there.

02:15 / 20.08.08

Mmmn, chokecherry!

I've always been of the philosophy that left behind booze has fallen, given its life for the cause-- something for party-hosts to mix with other booze to entice people into drinking for random effects at future parties.

02:15 / 20.08.08

You named your bottle of vodka?

02:19 / 20.08.08

I miss that bastard, what can I say?

Good philosophy, and one that I took with the bottle of Jack Daniel's that also got left there(although Dan says that one's nowhere to be seen...maybe my buddy's roommate REALLY loves whiskey and hasn't told the others), but in the case of the vodka, it's seriously that nobody in the house drinks it.

02:20 / 20.08.08

I would only go back for the Gin, but the Gin would probably never leave my side to begin with.

Downloaded Misirlou, it's swell.

02:23 / 20.08.08

I like gin, but vodka's got a dear place in my heart.

Dick Dale's awesome, and I marvel at him being able to do that at his age and out-shred men half his age.

02:24 / 20.08.08

Also, the vodka didn't make it back to my bag. I really can't over-state how absolutely faced I was Friday night. New rule: no playing Rock Band and doing shots in between(and sometimes during) songs. It kills my singing voice after the bell curve and makes for unhappy mornings.
