I have righted myself before you.
Pulled the knife out of my wound,
And shoved it back in yours.
Like you knew I would.
Like you knew I could.
Before I ever had a name
You knew it was there,
Everything for you
And you know it, and I
Know it still, the same.
p.s. who is driving who or...what?

«Oldest ‹Older 1801 – 2000 of 4734 Newer› Newest»Oh yeah
You know, I'd never been on a real airplane before
And I gotta tell ya, it was really great
Except that I had to sit between two large Albanian women with excruciatingly severe body odor
And the little kid in back of me kept throwin' up the whole time
The flight attendants ran out of Dr. Pepper and salted peanuts
And the in-flight movie was Bio-Dome with Pauly Shore
And, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines burned out
And we went into a tailspin and crashed into a hillside
And the plane exploded in a giant fireball and everybody died
Except for me
You know why?
'Cause I had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Ah ha ha ha
Ah ha ha
Ahhhh
So I crawled from the twisted, burnin' wreckage
I crawled on my hands and knees for three full days
Draggin' along my big leather suitcase and my garment bag
And my tenor saxophone and my twelve-pound bowling ball
And my lucky, lucky autographed glow-in-the-dark snorkel
But finally I arrived at the world famous Albuquerque Holiday Inn
Where the towels are oh so fluffy!
And you can eat your soup right out of the ashtrays if you wanna
It's OK, they're clean
Well, I checked into my room and I turned down the A/C
And I turned on the Spectravision
And I'm just about to eat that little chocolate mint on my pillow
That I love so very, very much when suddenly, there's a knock on the door
Well now, who could that be?
I say "Who is it?"
No answer
"Who is it?"
There's no answer
"WHO IS IT?!"
They're not sayin' anything
So, finally I go over and I open the door and just as I suspected
It's some big fat hermaphrodite with a Flock-Of-Seagulls haircut and only one nostril
(Oh man, I hate it when I'm right)
So anyway, he bursts into my room and he grabs my lucky snorkel
And I'm like "Hey, you can't have that"
"That snorkel's been just like a snorkel to me"
And he's like "Tough"
And I'm like "Give it"
And he's like "Make me"
And I'm like "'Kay"
So I grabbed his leg and he grabbed my esophagus
And I bit off his ear and he chewed off my eyebrows
And I took out his appendix and he gave me a colonic irrigation
Yes, indeed, you'd better believe it *Deep Breath*
And somehow in the middle of it all, the phone got knocked off the hook
And twenty seconds later, I heard a familiar voice
And you know what it said?
I'll tell you what it said
It said
"If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again"
"If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator"
"If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again"
"If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator
In Albuquerque
Albuquerque"
Well, to cut a long story short, he got away with my snorkel
But I made a solemn vow right then and there that I would not rest
I would not sleep for an instant until the one-nostrilled man was brought to justice
But first, I decided to buy some donuts
So I got in my car and I drove over to the donut shop
And I walked on up to the guy behind the counter
And he says "Yeah, what do ya want?"
I said "You got any glazed donuts?"
He said "Nah, we're outta glazed donuts"
I said "Well, you got any jelly donuts?"
He said "Nah, we're outta jelly donuts"
I said "You got any Bavarian cream-filled donuts?"
He said "Nah, we're outta Bavarian cream-filled donuts"
I said "You got any cinnamon rolls?"
He said "Nah, we're outta cinnamon rolls"
I said "You got any apple fritters?"
He said "Nah, we're outta apple fritters"
I said "You got any bear claws?"
He said "Wait a minute, I'll go check"
"NAH, we're outta bear claws"
I said "Well, in that case - in that case, what do you have?"
He says "All I got right now is this box of one dozen starving, crazed weasels"
I said "OK, I'll take that"
So he hands me the box and I open up the lid and the weasels jump out
And they immediately latch onto my face and start bitin' me all over
(rabid gnawing sounds)
Oh man, they were just going nuts
They were tearin' me apart
You know, I think it was just about that time that a little ditty started goin' through my head"
I believe it went a little something like this . . .
ahhhh
Get 'em off me
Get 'em off me
Ohhhh
No, get 'em off, get 'em off
Ooooh my God, oh my God
Oh, get 'em off me
Ooooh my God
Ah, (more screaming)
I ran out into the street with these flesh-eating weasels all over my face
Wavin' my arms all around and just runnin', runnin', runnin'
Like a constipated wiener dog
And as luck would have it, that's exactly when I ran into the girl of my dreams
Her name was Zelda
She was a calligraphy enthusiast with a slight overbite and hair the color of strained peaches
I'll never forget the first thing she said to me.
She said
"Hey, you've got weasels on your face"
That's when I knew it was true love
We were inseparable after that
Aw, we ate together, we bathed together
We even shared the same piece of mint-flavored dental floss
The world was our burrito
So we got married and we bought us a house
And had two beautiful children - Nathaniel and Superfly
Oh, we were so very very very happy, aw yeah
But then one fateful night, Zelda said to me
She said "Sweetie pumpkin? Do you wanna join the Columbia Record Club?"
I said "Whoa, hold on now, baby"
"I'm just not ready for that kind of a commitment"
So we broke up and I never saw her again
But that's just the way things go
In Albuquerque
Albuquerque
Anyway, things really started lookin' up for me
Because about a week later, I finally achieved my lifelong dream
That's right, I got me a part-time job at the Sizzler
I even made employee of the month after I put out that grease fire with my face
Aw yeah, everybody was pretty jealous of me after that
I was gettin' a lot of attitude
OK, like one time, I was out in the parking lot
Tryin' to remove my excess earwax with a golf pencil
When I see this guy Marty tryin' to carry a big ol' sofa up the stairs all by himself
So I, I say to him, I say "Hey, you want me to help you with that?"
And Marty, he just rolls his eyes and goes
"Noooo, I want you to cut off my arms and legs with a chainsaw"
So I did.
And then he gets all indignant on me
He's like "Hey man, I was just being sarcastic"
Well, that's just great
How was I supposed to know that?
I'm not a mind reader for cryin' out loud
Besides, now he's got a really cute nickname - Torso-Boy
So what's he complaining about?
Say, that reminds me of another amusing anecdote
This guy comes up to me on the street and he tells me he hasn't had a bite in three whole days
Well, I knew what he meant
But just to be funny, I took a big bite out of his jugular vein
And he's yellin' and screamin' and bleeding all over
And I'm like "Hey, come on, don'tcha get it?"
But he just kept rolling around on the sidewalk, bleeding, and screaming
(screaming sounds)
You know, just completely missing the irony of the whole situation
Man, some people just can't take a joke, you know?
Anyway, um, um, where was I?
Kinda lost my train of thought
Uh, well, uh, OK
Anyway I, I know it's kind of a roundabout way of saying it
But I guess the whole point I'm tryin' to make here is
I
HATE
SAUERKRAUT!
That's all I'm really tryin' to say
And, by the way, if one day you happen to wake up
And find yourself in an existential quandary
Full of loathing and self-doubt
And wracked with the pain and isolation of your pitiful meaningless existence
At least you can take a small bit of comfort in knowing that
Somewhere out there in this crazy old mixed-up universe of ours
There's still a little place called
Albuquerque
Albuquerque
Albuquerque (Albuquerque)
Albuquerque (Albuquerque)
Albuquerque (Albuquerque)
Albuquerque (Albuquerque)
I said "A" (A)
"L" (L)
"B" (B)
"U" (U)
*pauses*
"querque" (querque)
Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque

Anyway, stick with me kid, and you'll be fine.
Or, J or L, Or Ergo, Or Elena and Teej, Or Wendy, Or MJ, Or anyone who bums around here really. We're all good people.
Heck, even Mayo pops in when he can. He's good people.
Good zombies 2.
Let's finish off this bottle so we can play spin the bottle and see whos the best kisser.
Or:
Put down your chainsaw and listen to me
It's time for us to join in the fight
It's time to let your babies grow up to be cowboys
It's time to let the bedbugs bite
You better put all your eggs in one basket
You better count your chickens before they hatch
You better sell some wine before it's/its time
You better find yourself an itch to scratch
You better squeeze all the Charmin you can while Mr. Wimpole's not around
Stick your head in the microwave and get yourself a tan
Talk with your mouth full
Bite the hand that feeds you
Bite on more than you chew
What can you do
Dare to be stupid
Take some wooden nickles
Look for Mr. Goodbar
Get your mojo working now
I'll show you how
You can dare to be stupid
You can turn the other cheek
You can just give up the ship
You can eat a bunch of sushi and forget to leave a tip
Dare to be stupid
Come on and dare to be stupid
It's so easy to do
Dare to be stupid
We're all waiting for you
Let's go
It's time to make a mountain out of a molehill
So can I have a volunteer
There's no more time for crying over spilled milk
Now it's time for crying in your beer
Settle down, raise a family, join the PTA
Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevyrolet
And party 'till you're broke and they drive you away
It's OK, you can dare to be stupid
It's like spitting on a fish
It's like barking up a tree
It's like I said you gotta buy one if you wanna get one free
Dare to be stupid (yes)
Why don't you dare to be stupid
It's so easy to do
Dare to be stupid
We're all waiting for you
Dare to be stupid
Burn your candle at both ends
Look a gift horse in the mouth
Mashed potatoes can be your friends
You can be a coffee achiever
You can sit around the house and watch Leave It To Beaver
The future's up to you
So what you gonna do
Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid
What did I say
Dare to be stupid
Tell me, what did I say
Dare to be stupid
It's alright
Dare to be stupid
We can be stupid all night
Dare to be stupid
Come on, join the crowd
Dare to be stupid
Shout it out loud
Dare to be stupid
I can't hear you
Dare to be stupid
OK, I can hear you now
Dare to be stupid
Let's go, Dare to be stupid
Dare to be stupid

when there's chilled coffee involved, ergo, i don't mess around. ;)
my day was okay, we had more customers than the last few days (and the cute letter carrier stayed to chat for a while *heh*), so all in all not too bad.
how was yours? i saw you have two more weeks left to go?
not to worry anon, my own marriediness would prevent anything but joking about it, Dangerhand is all I need
yes, bit of a glitch for the my colleague returning, she has to sort some stuff out and it may take a while, so I will cover until it's gone through
glad your day was good, cute mail carrier is a bonus!
yeah, he's always a bright spot in the day! my boss jokes that he only brings the mail inside the shop when i'm there. lol
how is the job going, is it going to be difficult to work the extra time?
Hi Blogbelieve.

oooh, more pics! i'll look tomorrow morning at the shop, we have a better monitor there. :)
and it's good to hear that about the job, and that you're getting the hang of it. that always makes a difference.
okey doke, time for bed. good night ergo!
*tosses the empty frappuccino bottle in the recycling bin*
sweet dreams. :)
mayo,
it was such a beautiful morning today. i woke up and got out of bed and took a peek out the window, and the scene made me just stop.
the sun was coming up, but it wasn't high enough yet to be anything more than a shape behind the trees. it was a bright shape, though -- not yellow, not red, but an actual deep pink, like raspberries.
there was a light fog on the field, silvering all the green on the ground and making the air white.
smudgey green and soft grey and that pink, pink sun. lasted only a moment.
it's a beautiful place we live in, this world, don't you think? you only have to be willing to look.
good night, mayo. sweet dreams.
Hello Everybody. I hope you are all well
goodnight TJ sweet dreams
hello MJ
I'm good, doing housework again, catching up since I worked the last 2 days, :/
hope you're good
Hello Ep I am well.
When you get back from cleaning look at this. The Most Romantic Love Letter Ever Written
LoL Here is another one.
Devil Worship And Christmas Lights
Mayo
I just can't even begin to write a proper goodnight because I'm watching Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. There is just something about watching Steve Martin and the nurses fuck up the Bee Gee's that numbs my mind. LOL
Oh well, take care dude and talk to you tomorrow. Hope your day was a good one and hope tomorrow is even better.
Night Mayo
Elena
Dear SS,
Yeah, I know, I wait until 2.30 AM to show up and leave a link. You know me, though, stay up all night and hit the battery acid--I mean Tab--hot and heavy when daylight pounds its way into my brain.
This is one of my new favorite bands. They've been around about a dozen years, but I've only recently discovered them. You may know them already; if not, maybe you'll like them.
*Wendy, you'll appreciate this one too!*
Queens of the Stone Age: "Someone's In the Wolf"
I love the minor key the guitar line takes, and I do love Josh's voice. Yum.
Goodnight, my baby. I love you.
My heart to yours, always.
xo jen
thanks MJ they are funny!
goodnight elena sweet dreams
goodnight J sweet dreams to you too, and to L
Okay, I'm over yesterday, mostly. I've slept on it. But I'm not gonna be a doormat and let a few people who don't want to show their 'faces' get the better of me. With regards to this though:
Anonymous said...
To be honest WYWH probably got the info they wanted yesterday. I just wonder if he/she will use it against the bloggers, or just keep it to his/herself for their own personal use. Even if WYWH doesn't share with everyone and keeps it to themselves, that stil doesn't make it right
August 7, 2009 6:16 PM
You're saying that it's entirely possible I have done something unethical as people called it, even if it is never proved? Well it won't be, so good on you for stiring up people's paranoia for nothing. I'm sure you could've accomplished what you wanted with less of an attack and gossip. I'm sorry if you guys have had to deal with 'unethical' stuff from people in the past, but give me the chance to fuck up before you put me on trial for it, okay?
Anyway, I'm around. Busy but around, just wanted to say that and that I understand aprehension but perhaps there would've been a better way to handle it. My neck of the woods is bright and sunny this morning, I hope you all have a good start to your days too.
Hi? Having a nice morning/evening/night?
early morning it's 1.33 am how are you
by the way i am well watching a movie
Eeesh, that is early. Just gone 9am here. Looks nice out, sun lifts the spirits and all that. Can't complain :)
Watching anything good? I watched Mirrors the other day and wished I hadn't to be honest, lol.
exscrews me
mr mayo is a married man. mrs mayo would not be impressed
no kissing allowed -__-
Mrs Mayo can play too. She's not excluded. She can have extra time in the closet ^_~
Hi & bye MJ and WYWH
Coraline tried watching n 3-d but it was hurting my eyes
hello and goodbye anon
Hi and bye to you too, anon.
Haven't seen it Martha, is it any good in normal vision?
Yes, it is. I am really enjoying it. it is dark and like dark things.
Wish you were here,
The in blues who are left don't throw words like unethical & paranoid around. They don't point fingers or accuse. Don't corner and interrogate new bloggers either. Never have. Looks like somebody(s?) are trying to make them doubt you and get you to doubt them.
The only thing anyone can to is go with their feelings. I found that when i start to get bad vibe about someone I should go with it.
I don't always and I end up paying for it in the end. But that is life. Some times you just have to take that jump.
5:13, thanks for the tip, it's okay, I'm not going to doubt anyone from here on in. Maybe I shouldn't have let it bother me so much, but if I'd said nothing, even I can see it would've made me look guilty.whatever the intention was, good or bad, they'll see they were wrong in time, and so will everyone else who wondered.
Martha, I do find it most helpful to be guarded and not let people have the chance to make you feel down or prove you wrong about them, but yours is a sensible outlook I think.
Thank you WYWH. I would say don't worry about it. they could just be anons who are trying to protect this place and took it to far.
After everything that has happened here it is hard at times to know who to trust. You can't live like that. It will drive you crazy.
So far i get nothing bad from you. You are a nice person and I hope to get to talk to you more.
By the way, 5:13, I have no doubt that the somebody(s) were just stiring it. Maybe not all, some were curious I'm sure, but the one who said they were internet savvy enough to know I had a tracker... notice nobody else jumped on that one? I'm sure lots of people are able to figure that stuff out yet nobody backed them up for that claim. Because it wasn't true, lol.
Yeah I can understand, you know, I used to live over at lj, and the amount of trolls etc trying to ruin communities was so annoying, so I kind of get the worrying. But like you said you can't live like that, it'll drive you nuts.
Thanks though, you too :)
I think we need to get some goats for the trolls.
Thank you right back at you. You have any plans for the day
Oh yes someone asked about the new MCR songs. La Heavy i think it is has a nice beat. But all the songs still suck
Lmao, I don't know why I never heard that brought up before...but if the situation ever arises, I will remember to hand them a goat!
Not much, I have a meeting thing later but apart from that just normal stuff; clean, cook, breathe...
You?
Well said MJ & Wish you were here. I agree with. I think both types of anons were here yesterday. Shit stirrers and protectors.
Anon, you still around? What're you up to today?
Martha, I haven't heard them yet. Keep meaning to listen but people have been so mixed about them I'm kinda nervous to. I'll get around to it sometime probably.
Yes anon 5:55, I didn't get the impression that they were all being mean, just a few. I don't hate anons. I quite like them actually :)
Cleaning and working on my garden. I need to plant stuff and get stuff growing.
Hello again anon. What is up with you
Martha Jones said...
I think we need to get some goats for the trolls.
I hear that!
Get out Mayo's credit card and order a herd. Added benefit, they'll keep the grass trim.
Anybody know how many goats come in a herd.
I don't think all anons are bad either. There are a few who are make it hard for the anons who are just trying to help.
On the MCR songs I think most people don't like them but some will say they will because they don't want to be labeled a hater
Flowers, veggies, or a mix? I always kill plants. Managed to get a tomato plant going for a while, but that died too.
I hate it when people do that; say they like something when they don't, just others won't 'tell them off' for it. It's only an opinion, afteral.
Flowers. Lots of flowers and some herbs. I have found that most kids don't want people to think they are different so just go with the flow.
Do you grow that stuff that smells like lemons? Love the smell of that, nice and fresh.
I guess we've probably all been guilty of that at some stage, it's sad though.
WYWH it was nice talking to you. But I must get some sleep if i am to clean and garden this morning.
Goodnight Or Good Morning it is 11.13 am where you are
yes I do. I ones that smell like orange as well. It's more than one plant. I have 3 that smell like leamon
Oh yes I forgot it's the middle of the night for you, have a good sleep :). Nice talking to you too.
Good Morning
Anon 6:02. Apparantly a group of goats is called a herd, tribe, or trip, and you need any amount more than one to make a herd, etc. I'd have thought it would be more thoug...
Anon 6:30, you always bring such nice photos. That one looks a bit like a painting on my screen.
Mayo, are you messing with the blog? I hope it's just my computer for some reason making it look...weird. it's rather odd.
My bad. It loaded really crazily :/
sweet dreams MJ
hi wish have a nice day
good morning anon
and goodnight from me
Mayo
another quick goodnight, I should do this earlier, seriously, lol
have a fantastic weekend
much love EP xx
SS
I promise soon I will write something really interesting for you, when have time to think, take care
lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve, see you in my morning
♥xx♥
Hi Mayo. Hi Mr Invissible. Hi everyone here. =)
Goodnight, Ergo. And, hey, good work with those homemade tortillas! You put my plastic wrapper and scissor skills to shame, lol.
Nice to read long lost Safe, Anima, and M,(whom I inadvertently forgot last time, sorry).
KOL anon,
Thanks for the concert follow up.The GD show sounds great! 21 guns, eh? For some reason that song doesn't quite do it for me, compared with others on the album, but how often is it the case that you hear a song live and then it completely changes your feeling towards it? I'll be looking forward to it. =)
And new Arctic Monkeys song out! - Crying Lightning Yes! - to giant, instrument playing, gods of the sea. =)
Happy weekend all. Goodnight.
Good afternoon, Mayo.
Hope it's treating you well, it was an odd one for me. I had to go to NA, and I haven't been for a little while. Starting all over again, which was fine before as I wanted it over with, faking your way through is easy when you don't care. I do care this time, but don't feel able to go with the, "We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable." What I've done was my own choice, because I wanted to. Maybe that's naïve. Either way, I keep going back to a few blogs ago, the leader today actually suggested Dry to me, if I go back, she'll lend me her copy. I really want to read it.
Take care. Enjoy the rest of your day.
Thanks for the Arctic Monkeys link, PP! I love that song. I can't wait for August 25th when they release Humbug here in the US.
And oh, the Green Day concert. I still haven't recovered from it. Funny you should mention 21 Guns because it was very powerful live -- much more so than just hearing the single, which I hadn't paid that much attention to before the show. Billie Joe's voice accompanied only by the acoustic guitar in the first verse is nice, but then the chorus kicks in along with the gorgeous light presentation... and suddenly you become aware of just how amazing that song is.
Although I think the part I enjoyed the most (even more than Billie Joe's acoustic mini-set) was the end of the first encore when they performed Minority. Nothing beats standing on your feet near the end of an incredible show -- exhausted -- screaming out the words, "A free for all. Fuck 'em all! You are your own sight!" at the top of your lungs.
*sigh*
People who haven't been to one of their shows don't know what they're missing. "Oh, they're so 1994," type musical elitism be damned! Anyone who has the chance, GO SEE THEM!
*yawn*
Tired, anon? May I suggest a comfy pillow, perhaps a lullaby?
Rolling Stone's review of KOL's headlining set at last night's Lollapalooza.
Yeah, you knew I was going to post it.
Hi, Wish!
Have a good day, everyone.
P.S. Maybe a nap is in order, 1:03?
KOL anon, we haven't really crossed paths yet, so hello :)
Lol, KOL-snap!
Good day to ya!
Nope. Keep talking, it should send me right off to sleep.
Well anon 3:15, seeing as your reply was two hours later I can only assume it did the trick the first time. Glad to help.
Anyway, hi to anyone around while I'm here.
Seems like Wish is quite the bitch. She'll fit in well.
They will be cordial and pleasant. I would expect no less from the Lovelies. If she is looking for information, however, she is going to be disappointed.
Hey Wish
Hey Anons
I am working on the last box of comics. They are all X-Men so this should move along quickly. At least I hope so.
Hope everyone is having a nice day.
Sorry? An anon said this, which you can clearly see:
Anonymous said.. Nope. Keep talking, it should send me right off to sleep August 8, 2009 3:13 PM
My response was a joke. Now who's calling people names? Not me. I'm not 'quite the bitch' or anything close to it.
And no, I won't be dissapointed, I'm not looking for information. Have you seen me ask for anything suspicious? Doubtful unless you are extremely paranoid. So I'm sorry you feel I deserve yout suspicion, but you'll be happy to find out in time that I have no agenda. Wish you two a lovely day/night/etc.
Hi Elena. Any series in particular, or a jumble of them?
I am having a great day so far, Elena, and trust you are also.
Sorry Elena, not reading properly. It's a box, of course it's more than one series.
Show me your faces!
Why?
Because we don't trust strangers.
Strangers don't last long here.
Hey 7:00 pm anon Yeah, it's been a pretty good day. I've been working on these comics all day inside and out of the blistering heat. So that's good.
Yep, Wish lots of various X-Men runs. I'm working on Uncanny right now.
I'm going to pretend I'm not wondering if you guys are the anons just messing around, lol, and say hello. Good eveing to you all :)
I haven't read Uncanny. What are you planning to do with them all? Go through and read everything, or keep them stacked/boxed/kept nice? Personally I can't have comics lying around, I have to make sure they're all in mylite bags and boxes as soon as I've read them!
Actually some of them I sell and some I keep. I have to remind myself I can't keep them all..LOL
Haha, I hope you get some duplicates then, so you can keep a copy of some things you have to sell. It's not nice parting with things you love, lol.
No, it's not nice to part with things you love. Or in my case many times I part with a comic or book and then a few months down the road something triggers my memory and I want to read it again. Then I'm all cross with myself for letting it go.
Eek. That's why I'm a serious hoarder. I find it hard to throw away/sell things because you never know when you might need or want something. But then again, I don't tend to buy things in bulk like your comics.
hey guys.
i am still at the shop. gah. had some stuff that absolutely had to be done today or i would've had to come in on one of my days off. just waiting or my ride now.
not a good day.:/
ooh, comics, elena! i used to keep a wishlist of titles i was looking for. too bad i don't still have it, or i could send you a bunch of requests, huh? :)
annnd now my ride just called, so time to go.
it was, uh...
nice talking at everyone, i guess!
ciao.
Toujours, sorry to miss you. Hopefully your day'll get better from now :)
Well I'm off now, goodnight to whoever's around-you too, anons, have a good one :).
Night Wish
Hey TJ sorry I missed you. Yep, I'm sure I'd have some comics you'd like.
good morning
bit of a rainy day today, hope it clears a bit, though very glad I got my washing done yesterday
goodnight wish, sweet dreams
hey elena
hope to catch you later TJ
HI PP!! recipe is at my kitchen blog, it really wasn't as hard as I thought, and they are nicer. Though scissors and plastic are still going to feature in my home too.
hi KOL. good you had such a great time, it's fantastic when a concert just stays in your memory
why, when there are 2 doors open into the house, which he uses all the time, does my cat stand at the window expecting to be let in?
Hey Ergo
I can answer that one..because he is a cat and you were put here on this earth to do his bidding.
I had a strong suspicion that was his thought process
how are the comics going?
I am almost done....
(totally ignoring the new box I got the other day)
hahaha using your awesome ignoring comics powers
did you find anything good in this box?
I'm back!
I have one question.
After being in the car many hours, and listening to a whole lotta music, including Leathermouth,
Exactly WHAT is it that Frank can't do with the radio on?
L.
I think there are six goats to a herd. There either needs to be pairs, or more females than males, or something.
I'll look into it.
GI Joe pissed me the fuck off by the way.
hello L, good to see you back, and what does it sound to you like Frank can't do with the radio on?
I may not be a good person to ask as you know I think Gerard yells out "Give me the vichyssoise" in Dead and "Mexico, Fish in Gruyere"
and....wait for it....I'm done.
Huge sigh..
Hey L How's it going? Don't know about Frank..hell I'm still trying to figure out the lyrics to one of the new MCR songs..Is it "Kiss the Rain" or "Kiss the Ring"?
I got no clue
Hey, Amy! We can inquire about the herd amt. when we call to order.
Uh, why did G.I. Joe piss you off? The movie or the man?
Amy the movie or the doll? and why?
As for the goats, whatever the actual definition, I think the use of the term should be gauged by how much actual farmers would fall about laughing at you if you used it, lol
"Give me the vichyssoise" LOL Ergo. Still don't know but that's what I sing when I get to that part.
Hey Amy - What's wrong with Joe?
Ha! I remember that Ergo! I got "I can't sleep with the radio on", or "breathe" or "eat".
One person I read thought he said "I can't breed with the radio on."
How are you doing?
Elena!
How are ya?
I'm not sure about some of the new lyrics either yet. Gotta wait and see, I guess.
X-Men comics! I just finished getting the rest of the House Of M storyline, and a couple of other older ones.
Got a huge box of the X-Men comics L Need any??
And another thing about that video from the Roxy..Is Gerard rocking a pony tail? I can't tell.
By the way, welcome and hello to Wish You Were Here! I'm glad you felt you could join in with us. Hope to catch you here soon!
The blasted movie. I'm pissed off.
They changed the storyline, yes, okay fine. I get it. The Original storyline was war-heavy, set in Vietnam in some cases, and probably dates itself more than an archaeological dig in the Pyramids.
BUT.
The Baroness, the one character who, for most of the comics was the HBIC, who was evil simply because she COULD be, was turned into a simpering twat who was merely a member of M.A.R.S (not COBRA yet) because she wanted revenge on Duke.
Because they were supposed to get married, and he stood her up at the altar. (For another reason that I won't reveal because that's a MAJOR plot spoiler)
If my purse wasn't worth $150, I'd have thrown it at the screen.
Elena, I can ALWAYS use X-Men comics. Do you have any from the Legacy Virus storyline?
Not sure about the ponytail. Really? I'll have to go back and check that video again. I always loved his hair longer. Any length is fine, but I prefered the longer, to the shoulder length.
Amy,
I'm backing away slowly, will be over here if you need me...
That bad, huh? I hate when they take a character and turn it into what they think Hollywood wants. It's infuriating to fans of the original stories.
looks like a pony tail to me, maybe he was feeling a bit Michael Bolton but without the length?
from what I've heard of the new MCR lyrics they don't seem to have the originality (?) don't know if that's the right word, as the previous albums.
But they are very hard for me to pick out in the clips
Amy I think you should have thrown the purse. That sounds like it deserved it.
Amy I feel your anger at it, I hate when they alter a story so much it bears little resemblance to the thing it is based on
looks like a pony tail to me, maybe he was feeling a bit Michael Bolton but without the length?
oh hell that made me laugh.
Elena yes he has a ponytail.
Fashion statement or he got hot?
Ponytail? Hardly, it's more like a squirrel's tail covering his bald spot.
you're welcome elena :D
hi anon
Hey anon,
Thanks I thought so but just wasn't sure. I dunno I just never figured him as a ponytail sorta guy.
*calms down*
Gerard has a ponytail now?
Maybe Bandit's already grabbing at hair and he's learned how to keep it out of the way. For such small bodies babies have a LOT of pulling strength.
I don't think that's why he has a ponytail. But watching that video makes me hot and not in the good way. Damn, I don't get how he can be on stage in a jacket like that. One of these days he's gonna melt.
Here's a cool drink, Amy. Have a seat in one of the cushy chairs by the blue lamp.
oh L do they what!! I have been got a number of times and you are completely in their power until you can remove tiny little vice-like grip
You all think that's a ponytail? Gerard must have done a better job of covering it up than I thought. And as for the new songs, I couldn't hear anything for watching the awkward way his hair kept flapping. Mottsworthy, I tell you.
Elena, when we saw them in Charlotte on P.R., he had the leather jacket and it was 115 degrees heat index. He was sweating so hard you could see sheets of it when he wiped at his face.
After wiping his face one time he asked the crowd "How do you motherfuckers live here"?
A guy next to us shouted "We don't wear leather in August, you dumbass!"
Harsh, but he had a point...:) Bless his heart...
I know, Ergo. It's one of those mysteries. Also how can something that small create so much (fill in body fluid here)!
I have to say, from what I've heard, I like the new songs. You can really here the bass lines now, and I like the raw sound of the guitars. Bob sounds amazing, especially on the second new song.
I like the sound, but still not sure about the words, but live stuff is so hard to hear as it's all out of balance and noisy
I'll wait for a studio version to decide
anon, if you recall way back when MCR played the Big Day Out here, I said it looked like he was thinning
it happens, no big deal, if you're a guy you have to pretty much expect it
and L at the BDO he said the same sort of thing, really January, in Australia????? He's lucky he didn't get heatstroke
You'd think he would have figured it out by now, Ergo! Wearing Leather In Weather That Melts Your Shoes = Passed Out On The Side Of The Stage.
goodness yes, they have a large number of people treated by the ambulance at festivals here, even those not in the middle of summer
There is "suffering for your art" but when it's potentially really health threatening it makes you wonder.
I think people from overseas don't realise just how hot we get.
Lots of US ad UK tourists end up in strife, or red as lobsters.
I know what you mean, Ergo. It's really humid in the South in the summer, so sometimes we have 90-100 degree days with 80-100% humidity. It can be pretty rough on someone who isn't used to it.
*floats towards the blue light*
I couldn't tell if it was just longish hair or a ponytail either, not all of the videos are the greatest quality anyway.
But the songs are decent, in my humble opinion.
Feeling better, Amy? Did the cool drink help?
hi everyone.
i reallllly, really don't think gerard's wearing a ponytail. lol
Hi, TJ! How's it going?
So, what do you think Frank can't do with the radio on?
holy crap, heaven help me. The hubby and his friend are going down the road to play a prank on a neighbor. Let's just say it involves a huge trash bag full of empty whiskey bottles. I swear if this ends badly I'm not gonna get his ass out of jail. I'll just leave him there.
Hey TJ
Hi TJ, you have a less than loving quilters day?
Elena,
Did Mr. Elena and his friend happen to "empty" those bottles and this is contributing to the situation at hand?
hi. :)
ergo, not only was i contemplating multiple acts of homicide, i was also cursing the bolts of fabric. i believe at one point i actually told a purple wildflower print that i hated it. lol
l., that's an interesting question! hmmm...
Yes L That is indeed the case.
The cool drink helped L, for sure.
Teej, I hear you. One day I took great pride in slashing up a bunch of defective canvases that we'd recieved, and just the other day, I got to dismantle the summer wooden doll display and I drew moustaches on all of them.
Elena, a prank eh? If they end up in jail, slap some bologna rounds on their cars. Apparently, bologna eats through the paint on cars.
elena that sounds ...well...like something guys would do
does neighbour have a good sense of humour?
OMG now they are spraying canned cheese at each other.
I'm just sitting here at the computer watching them.
ergo, not only was i contemplating multiple acts of homicide, i was also cursing the bolts of fabric. i believe at one point i actually told a purple wildflower print that i hated it. lol
"Yes, officer, we have 2 bolts down in aisle 4, a couple dozen packs of needles in aisle 2, and she's still in the stooorrreeeeaieeeee!!!!"
TJ cursing fabric I believe, is a perfectly acceptable release
do you all recall those keyrings you'd whistle at and they beep?
well we sold them when I worked for a department store here in Uni and the sound the escalators made, when the rubber handrail would just catch and release was EXACTLY the right sound to make them go off.
After much cursing we moved them to a place less affected, but another night, when one went nuts and beeped all the time, I took great delight in crushing it's little beeper out with my high heels
Elena, sounds like my typical Saturday With The Peanut Gallery.
Thankfully Thing 1 is at a concert, and Thing 2 is asleep on the couch.
Oh, my. Amy, never mind the bologna, canned cheese will eat through your SKIN!
Elena, got a video camera ready?
Now they have decided the bottles aren't enough they are adding a whole barrel of beer cans. I knew there was a reason I never came down to his shop when his friend was here.
Best part is they keep asking me my opinion of their plan.
elena O_o
This is like being back in high school. I swear the two of them are giggling. Maybe I should get the video camera.
Elena, tell them to add that canned cheese to wet ashtray debris and mix that in with the beer cans. That should do it.
Not sure what it will do, but it should do it!
"Yes, officer, we have 2 bolts down in aisle 4, a couple dozen packs of needles in aisle 2, and she's still in the stooorrreeeeaieeeee!!!!"
mwah-hah-hah, i could've done it, too. fear me, quality 100% cotton quilting fabric!!! *maniacal laughter*
*ahem*
so i learned that i cannot have a windoe open to the blog and a window open to etsy and expect them both to work. hmph.
so i had to leave blogbelieve for a tiny bit to answer a question from a woodworker there...i finally found the box for my travel altar today! she might be able to make a little accessory for it. maybe. :)
anyway, elena, sounds like you've got a show!
TJ, what's a travel altar?
it's kinda like a prayer box, or a portable shrine. i got the idea when i was looking at bento boxes back in seattle: a small box with a separate lid, and a devotional image on the underside of it. in side the box, a little votive candle, a little offering dish, a small book of prayers.
i even found some solid sandalwood perfume in these pretty cloisonne tins, to use in place of incense! :)
set it up on a dresser in a hotel or wherever, and when it's time to go, everything gets packed away into the box and the little cloth everything was sitting on becomes the furoshiki to keep it all closed up nice and neat!
i've slowly been assembling the components, but the box has been the hardest part to find. nothing has been right. :/
until today!
oh that's good TJ
elena you NEED video
holy crap, that was a long answer. my apologies, l. :/
Thanks for the info, TJ, it sounds very nice! Congrats on finding the right box. I love the smell of sandlewood. What parts do you have left to find? Or was the box the last one?
i still haven't found the right little dish, l. i'd like something oval or rectangular, rather than round. maybe i'll have some luck if i keep perusing etsy!
and of course, once i have the box, i have to get to work on painting a devotional image.
i'm very excited! i have other travel kits that i'm assembling, but this is the one that captures my imagination. :)
TJ have a look in stores that sell asian-ware, they have little sauce dishes and I have rectangular ones, white china and very cheap
That's really cool, TJ. Have you tried E-bay to look for a dish. I hope you can find what you are looking for.
I bought 4 framed prints last week for $8 total at a sale, and had them appraised today. Turns out they are worth at least $100 each! It was truly a "Cash In The Attic" moment.
oh, good idea ergo! and i love the look of japanese ceramics. their glazes are always the best.
i saw that on your twitter, l. -- that's amazing! what do they look like?
L that is fantastic, such a great find, I love watching Antiques Roadshow for that
me!
me!
YAY!!!
*happy dance*
:]
*dances with Ergo*
Teej, that portable altar sounds like a great and marketable idea. Especially if you offer personalization options. *nudge nudge*
*presents ergo with a cake for top-spot honors*
hmmm, you're right amyranth. maybe i should figure out how to make my own boxes and go from there...
actually, i have a whole list of items to make to sell, mostly for the s.c.a. crowd. i was thinking of opening up my own merchant stall back in the day. i still might, at that!
Well Teej, if I read you right, someone is going to custom make a box for you? See if they'd be willing to do a bulk order sometime, like 6 or 12, and go for it!
Even if you just sell them on eBay as Prayer Boxes, regardless of denomination, I'm sure there would be interest.
thanks Amy!!
and a cake!!!
*gets out dishes and napkins*
*cuts slices for everyone*
here you all go!!
Congrats, Ergo, Top Spot Queen!
TJ, that would be a cool idea, making different boxes to sell. Especially since you have the artistic talent to do the painting inside the lid as well!
The prints I have are all from London, of Westminster Abbey, St. James Palace, Piccadilly Circus, and Hampton Court Palace. They are fairly old, the appraiser wasn't exactly sure, but he knew they were probably from the late 1800's to 1920. The frames are very nice too, and accounted for half the value. The prints themselves are 5 X 7, and the frame with mat is about 9 X 11.
ha, i don't know if i would impose on the woodworker like that! but i always wanted to try my hand at woodcrafting, beyond the little bit of carving that i had tried...
also, i can makes boxes out of heavy cardstock, as well as fabric. i love making fabric boxes. :)
l., those sound so very cool! i can just imagine what they must look like. :)
