Dude, you are paying for my replacement robot arm, or I'm calling my lawyer.

So, I get kicked out of the caff just after my first post, and it all kicks off.

grr. grr. grr.

Can I just lodge a complaint about that scrabble game? I thought Barbelith was bad for keeping me from doing work, but this is worse. I love it.

A robot arm? Man, that's like admitting you took those growth hormones before the last match. The ILSC will be onto you in a shot, Flux...

*zzzzt*

*wrrrrp*

Nay so late here, but it's late for someone. And sorry about Bookworm, Ariadne, I knew it was gonna cause problems somewhere.

Not particularly late here, either, but I'm getting ready to sign off soon because I will be up late. I've got a hot date w/Kripke and Frege. I'm a lucky, lucky guy, let me tells ye...
 
 
Mazarine
21:44 / 17.10.02
Wow, I remember dates. Wait. No I don't.

A date. That's sorta like a job interview. "do I look ok? Am I laughing too loud? What if my friends see me with this person? What's this all gonna cost?" Like that. I remember. Sooner stay in and read I guess.

Well, I'm at work, thankfully free of drama today. BUt I fear everyone's asleep.

Fucktrumpets.

nonsense, I'm awake and watching Angel on Sky1, all six seasons of Buffy are 150 miles away... bored now.
 
 
Mazarine
00:02 / 18.10.02
Roth, I'm offended. The only reason I wasn't here last night was because I blew my posting limit.

Asleep? Seems slightly incredible, really...
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
00:13 / 18.10.02
Nah. It's just that I can't manage to, seemingly, so I imagine everyone else is. Bah.

Oh, Maz - I know you were posted out... I've not come up against that yet, though. Yet. Hm.

How are we all?

"Sleep, incredible, like the holy grail or something?" scoffed Derbyshire "honestly Jennings, don't you know it's a kind of cup".
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
00:16 / 18.10.02
Ah - and "fucktrumpets" is a generic term of distress. Not wanting to imply that any of you were fleshy bugles of love... well, not before another couple of beers.

Not that I need many more of those this week. I discovered, again, that if you look around, you can get Guinness in pints here. Which is a kind of salve, even if it is served in those stupid knobbly clash-them-together-and-sing-rambunctiously glasses.

00:17 / 18.10.02
Guiness in a jug? Now that is weird.
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
00:21 / 18.10.02
Janina: not a jug. Just an ugly, ugly mug. Much like mine own.

Biz: sorry to hear that. I hope things work out OK for all concerned. Hugs.

00:21 / 18.10.02
Ok....back form a terrfyingly grown-up dinner party in the biggest and most gorgeous South Kensington flat I have ever seen. Actually scary big. Lots of techno bods, and may have found a solution to the web hosty problem thingumbob...so that's good.

00:25 / 18.10.02
Oh that's what those stupid knobbly clash-them-together-and-sing-rambunctiously glasses are called, at least in Hertfordshire. All the old men in my old place of work used to drink out of them but they drank ale.
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
00:26 / 18.10.02
Ahhhh. It maketh sense. It's like the whole pants/underpants/trousers thing that made me seem quite odd at barbemeets past.

"Are they new pants?"
"What the fuck? Do you have x-ray vision?"

That kinda thing.
 
 
ONLY NICE THINGS
00:27 / 18.10.02
And, indeed, hugs for Biz. That's a horrible thing.
 
 
Mazarine
00:38 / 18.10.02
Indeed hugs for Bizunth, much, much hugs. Stay up and talk with us?
 
 
Murray Hamhandler
00:45 / 18.10.02
I'm back. Broke the date w/the old white men for the evening, but they'll be back for more lovin' over the next couple of days, you can be sure. Damned bloody denotation reference I've got yer sense right here grumble grumble...

That is awful, Bizunth. I've been there and I know how helpless you probably feel right now. Here's to hoping for the best. Just keep in mind that being there for the person in question is the most that you can do right now.

I'm printing out my resume to put in with my grad school application, which I'm finally, after about two months of humming, hawwing and procrastination, letting my sweetheart bring into school with him tomorrow to drop off. At the moment, I'm wondering if Flyboy's going to finish his interview, and I'm curious about the cards Haus mentioned a couple nights ago.

I went to a postgraduate open day today at the London College of Fashion. The course leader was great but it's very vocational and I just don't know if I want to do it. So good for you for making a decision about grad school!

On that note I'm going to try for sleep, Bizunth I hope you're OK and you sleep well, goodnight.

I fixed a leaky faucet. Now I'm at work for another 3 hours and listening to David J "On Glass."

The last time I tried to fix a leaky faucet I broke it worse. Missing handle worse.

Hola! Anyone about? I have to write an analysis on the Tao TeChing and am stuck with trying to describe the unnamable... haha.

When reading that the Tao is unnamable and undescribable, I can't help but think of some Lovecraft monster.

Fear the empty mind... eldritch and enlightened...

I feel your pain, Barry. I had an epistemology class blow up in my face a few years ago because, in trying to suss out the self-chosen topic of my final paper (which was far too ambitious and way beyond the scope of the class in question), I couldn't wrap my head around the circular concept of using language in the discussion of certain aspects of the role of language usage in knowledge acquisition. So what am I doing now? Taking a class centered mostly around that very concept. Ha ha, I'm stupid.

Must say it's making much more sense this time 'round, though. It helps that I'm not going it completely alone...

Your pain is greater than mine. This assignment's only worth 5%. I failed grade13 English the first time because I couldn't figure out how to explain black humour and just gave up... sheesh. I should just move on to my Canadian history assignment... and stop drinking coffee.. It's 1151pm.
 
 
Mazarine
03:01 / 18.10.02
I gotta scoot, sleep beckons. Biz, if you're still around, more hugs to you honey. And hugs to everyone else who's still up and about, Roth, Barry, Deric, terribly grown up Haus if he's still awake. Ta darlings.

G'night, Maz.

Cards, Maz? My mind is a blank (went to sleep. Have discovereed my mobile doesn't work anymore and must now schlep about dealing with the surliest assistants ever...grrr).

Thanks for the support, guys. Deleted the original post when I suddenly felt like I was betraying my friend's confidence. I'm seeing them this weekend.
