Halfway through my shift. Spooked myself
watching "Ring" in a mostly empty
building and jumped when someone came
over to ask me something.

Was going to sleep, but may throw "Don't
Look Now" in the VCR instead. Decisions...

Haven't seen any if the Ring movies...although I did just catch a trailer for the americanized version on tv

I finally got Ring about a month ago. If I make it out to Montreal sometime soon I can lend it to you. But for tonight, I'm thinking some Marx Bros. is in order.

Until then, I remain a member of...the Late Shift!

That would be both awesome and appreciated. I may be making my way out to Rose City (that's Toronto right?) sometime in the next few months as more and more of my childhood friends seem to be moving there. Its a magnet for "the ones who know me"....

Rose City is Welland, 30 minutes outside of Niagara Falls.
I currently live in Ottawa, and have friends in Montreal, so I visit every month or so.
Ottawa is where I live. Rose City is my home.

For months I've been thinking Rose City meant Toronto...silly me.

Still up... bored and speeding, but may not be up much longer, as I have an Open Day at a nearby office which I need to attend at twelve/one pm (seven/eight or so hours away). Drinking 'fightin' lager' when I've sworn off the booze-addled 'ness' of my previous existence for a while. Anyone still around?
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:26 / 28.09.02
yeah, im still hauting these backwaters...and what is 'fighting lager'?

STTEEEEEELLLLAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Heya. How's it going?

00:27 / 29.09.02
Everything's going really good!
I'm just doing a little cleaning, a little writing, a little procrastinating.
Then it's off to the bar to lose some weight.
How are things on the other side of the ocean?

Cold. Cold and leaky. And mostly in boxes now.

Sounds spooky.
I've moved three times over the last year. I drove a truck from St. Catharines to Bracebridge and back three times, for a round trip of 900km each time. Then it was from Bracebridge to Ottawa for another 600km. I feel your pain.

That sort of puts my move to shame. I'm going a fairly long way, but I'll be leaaaving on a jet-plane, not driving.

Hey folks...Capt.Keg signing in..how's things tonight?

Leaving
On a jet plane
Don't know
When I'll be back aga...

OK, I'll stop. Moving is a pain no matter what. I'm happily stuck where I am for another 2 years.

Hello, Keggy.
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:34 / 29.09.02
bahm your lucky..I've been stuck in the same spot for the last 28 years. thank goodness the folks are decent enough though. No latenight kitchen kniffings for them.

Damn. The dryer in the laundry room wasn't working so I had to try dryign my clothes a second time. Because it took longer, it went past closing time. Now I have no clothes.

Visions of a naked Moriarty trapaising through the night...must burn image from mind. Alchohol requiered. (ok, this was just an excuse for alchohol.)

(BTW, I had spent quite some time considering using Moriarty as a name before choosing another)

Alcohol will only fuel your fantasies, Keggy. I did consider going out in the boxer briefs, but then I remembered my suits. Too bad. I would have truly rocked out with my cock out.

You were considering taking my name? That would have been awkward. Good thing I was thinking of changing mine to tallskinnybreeder.

Actually, I've always wondered, why Kegboy?
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:26 / 29.09.02
No, im sorry to say you just dont picture into my fantasies. Unless, you're in a Tux walking around my bed with a sign declaring which round it is... but besides that, nope. Im a one woman man. (She however wasnt a This man woman but that ,as they say, sis a story for another night.)

Kegboy was given to me years back in college because of my habit of asking the teacher if " I may be excuse to go get a drink"..they always assumed I meant water from the fountain in the hallway. Silly educators.
Many an afternon was spent whilling(sp?) away the hours at the local Irish pub.
Then I started making my homebrew beer and wine....thus the legacy was born....
(originally I had another name on this board but after the crash someone stole it..BUT IM NOT BITTER!!!!)

I went out dancing and fighting.
Now I'm home watching Knight Rider.

Clocking in for some hardcore late shift. Or not, as I'm about to hit the sack. It's ten to four in the morning, and after some beer with freshers (one of whom likes jazz a lot, which is a wonderfully good thing), retired to friend's living room to sit and drink whisky. No e.

Anyhow, at 1 in the morning, (and spinning off from a discussion on breasts), a friend ruminates on why a pretty darn attractive girl who's very Christian and very lovely won't sleep with him. This leads to three hours of discussion, covering (in no particular order), what religion/faith/hope is, some basics of Jurisprudence and Robert Nozick, a short digression into marriage-as-property-or-not (probably not, then), general decrying of using Hitler or anything-to-do-with-guns as metaphor, my friend's refusal to acknowledge morals, "where does this leave the body?", "i thought you said 'sell furniture', not 'self-ownership'. That explains everything" and the like. It's now four, and I'm going to bed, having almost keeled over through mental exhaustion (and not whisky).

I am very glad to be back here

'ello late shift.

Its 1.40 in the afternoon here. I'm at work, recovering from a weekend of accidental raving and unexpected chemical abuse. Brain function minimal, conversation skills at less than 10%. Lots of work, no motivation.

Love from the bleary eyed and semi-rational.

Another night..another Late Shift...
Hey folks!

Bleary eyed and semi-rational right back atcha!

I have three projects due on Tuesday, and I'm procrastinating like mad. Why do I do this to myself? I really need to buckle down.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:26 / 30.09.02
I did my best work under last minute pressure...ah the good old days...

You could try bribing yourself out of procrastination. For every chunk of work you do give yourself a reward! Finish a paragraph? Reward with a cup of tea/coffee, finish a page - get some food. Finish one of the projects? Get the best reward of all - stress free sleep.

Masterbate frequently. This will aid delirium, and perhaps psychosis, which will make whatever work you are doing at this hell of an hour on the lord´s day a damn site better.
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
04:16 / 30.09.02
Well, I am - like the Fool - still at work. For another three-ish hours. And I'm feeling superb because yesterday was spent with my parents, one of my uncles and a friend of theirs. Lots of drinking was done, though this may be to block out such helpful attempts at entertaining as looking at old photos and saying "hey! You looked a whole lot thinner last time you were home!".

I have to move out.
