got up and drove to work while the sun rose, a lone car on the highway, staring at the bleak, gray buildings of boston beneath a swollen fall sky ripe with falling snow.

Disfunction · 11-24-2005, 07:35 AM

Holy shit! I haven't left my room save to shower! I didn't notice the snow.

Scythan · 11-24-2005, 08:12 AM

It's not snowing here. I hate snow.

edible_eye · 11-24-2005, 08:16 AM

i can't stand snow either - and it's gonna be falling on and off for the next 4 months.

god, i hate massachusetts.

Disfunction · 11-24-2005, 09:14 AM

Haha... Ahh... Canada... Ottawa to be more specific... Home of the world's largest skating rink.

Snow, snow, snow is falling; it's going to linger a long while.

AlKilyu · 11-24-2005, 11:04 AM

Dis I missed the part where it was your bday, sorry!

Happy belated Birthday!

rockandrose · 11-24-2005, 11:12 AM

It's summer!

Disfunction · 11-24-2005, 01:31 PM

Haha, not a problem, Al. It was a day like any other day. Quite generic, as I like it.

AlKilyu · 11-25-2005, 10:13 AM

They will probably not do anything for mine either this year.

Mine is on Christmas Eve, and my family usually opens their presents then, so they used to do it a week before and throwing my uncle whose bday is that week in there too. I am insisting they do it this year not because I want gifts (I never tell people what I want, too embarrassed) but that's the easy way to get the family together, and since she will be in town that week eyesofatragedy can meet them all at once!

Disfunction · 11-25-2005, 10:31 AM

Sounds lovely! I never tell people what I want, except this year was a request for money, because I may or may not be planning a trip to eastern Canada to see the ever-so lovely lady who has grappled my heart.

Today, so far, has consisted of eating WAY too much food. Ughhh.... I may just finish Mrs. Dalloway so I can get the jump on my research paper before Wednesday.

Gabrielle · 12-02-2005, 03:09 PM

Fun Thread!

Here's my day thus far;

Woke up and went to work. Took a super long lunch (the boss ordered pizza, very yum).
Got home, played around on the internet and signed up for this forum.
The rest of the evening should include eating dinner, walking the dogs, smokin a couple joints, watching a movie and wainting for the hubby to get home from work so I can get lucky!
Not a bad night huh?

Gabrielle · 12-02-2005, 03:13 PM

Hey Disfunction,

I just noticed that you are from Ottawa. I live in Ottawa too! Hooray for the Rideau Canal and our fucked up government!

By the power of Vin, i resurrect thee.

Today. i took some pain pills. Wandered about the house aimlessly for an hour. The weather outside is a lovely gloomy gray, but still a bit too warm and humid to go out there. So i keep standing in the open front doorway. Staring out.

i finished a project i started at 2AM this morning. Piece together a computer to act as a hardware firewall using a version of Linux. Then come to terms with the notion that i do not need such a device since i am on dial-up and it will not help the narrow bandwidth out not one bit. Scrapped it.

Wrote a few lines in a story i promised to Someone.

Took some more pain pills.

Tried twice to download WinAmp5, fucking narrowband.

Have now listened to Red Hot Chili Peppers' I Could Have Lied for the last twenty minutes straight. i think five times is quite enough thank you.

As of 4:29PM that is all. What am i going to do for the next twelve hours? no fucking clue, probably play Diablo II: Lord of Destruction

01-12-2006, 02:39 PM

Well, I started by sleeping in. How fun. Continued to scramble for all my school things like a horny monkey. Forgot my purse in the house. When I finally got to school, I was confronted by one of my asshole friends (for this friend, I use the term asshole loosely, if you really want to know, PM me) I went to my spare, slept, continued to Chem, did a unit exam, and went home. I am currently eating pizza and breadsticks. The pizza is half done and I am beginning to wonder if I have a hollow leg because I am still hungry. As for tonight, I am going to cadets and will probably have to haul some fainted kid's butt off my parade square because they can't admit that they feel faint. *sigh*

WolfMoon · 01-12-2006, 09:15 PM

Heh, that's gonna suck DA.

Vin hope you're feeling better.

I went to work and had a mediocre day. I was feeling alot better after the ride home, though.

ghostposts · 01-12-2006, 10:11 PM

had a ball with my kids today. My littlest is one day past her 14th birthday, and I'm still giving her little goodies. Who says birthdays have to last only one day? It doesn't have to be much, just a little perk she didn't expect. Brightens her day.

cannibalnuns · 01-15-2006, 07:24 PM

I slept until 2:00 pm and then promptly washed. However I had got up at 10:00 am and had myself a snack. I opened the cottage cheese and I grabbed an apple and I ate each seperate. Upon finishing I ditched the plates on the counter of my coffee table. Then I went back to bed and now I resume from where I woke up at 2:00 pm. I took a shower and upon exiting the shower I used a towel to dry my body. In a methodical manner I startedfrom my head to my feet. I did not scrub nor buff away a layer of skin but patted down dry. Then using my cheap Con-air hair dryer I dried my hair with surgical precision. After that I got back into my nightly attire by sliding one leg in after the other. Then I brushed my teeth with Lemon Ice Crest, flossed and then rinsed with Listerine. The Listerine burned. Then I got dressed for bed oncemore and lounged on the couch watching movies. I recall, For a Few Dollars More, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, From Russia With Love, Kindergarten Cop and King Arthur. So I watched movies and finally I got hungry so I fixed a large green salad with salad and pepper and almonds. Then watched a few more television shows. And wow I am telling some pretty drab stuff here. Anyway in short I ended up here oncemore.

cyberJade · 01-15-2006, 07:37 PM

Well, today I went to this Salvadorian restaurant. The food was great, I had a typical
Salvadorian plate, which is cooked plantains, refried beans, and sour cream. I'm so full.
I'm going on a diet tomorrow...

Surgeon Méchant De Sang · 01-15-2006, 08:37 PM

My day started off with me posting into the wee hours of the morning, finding so many interesting subjects to comment on. I went to bed around 5:00 a.m.
I woke up around 2:00 p.m. to get ready to go bike riding with my husband. I made sure I bought along some music and some books just in case I might need to make a pit stop and take a rest. Before we leave, I hear our next door neighbor singing hymns aloud out in broad daylight. Both my husband and I agree that she has a lovely voice, and we both enjoy listening to her sing.
After wishing our neighbor well, we went to get lunch.
We sat in Cosmo Park for about half an hour eating our lunches, and watching some of the kids skateboarding. The kid in rollerblades obviously had reflexes like a cat, and lots of endurance to boot. It was really a sight to see him pull all of those tricks. He was making the rest of the kids on the skateboards seem like amateurs.
We finished our lunch, and then we got ready to do some bike riding.
My husband was impressed by my endurance, even though it's only been our second day. I did have to sit after awhile...
I didn't feel all that great after that long ride. My head and chest started to hurt, and it became a little difficult to breathe. But sitting and relaxing helped, and we were able to make it back to the truck.
After that we stopped by Famous Barr, where I eyed a royal blue eyeliner pencil. I swiped a couple of lines on my hand, and mixed it with other colors to see what kinds of end results I would have.
My husband bought up the subject of supper. Tonight it was going to be the Great Wall Chinese Buffet. I filled my plate with sushi, honey chicken/general tso chicken, two eggrolls, and two boiled eggs. He had some chicken, sushi, and boiled eggs.
I took a nap on the way home, and he woke me when we arrived at the door. As I was setting up to get ready for bed, he went outside to take the bikes off of the bike rack. During this time he was approached by our neighbor, who had made us a gift - a book of poems and drawings. I was touched, and so was he...
Then I surfed the web for a while, looking at paranormal sites, and then deciding to log on and do some more posting.

The End...
*Smile*

I have been thinking about this...and I was wondering: If you sold some of that extra 'puter equipment you have, could you get yourself a high-speed connection?

edible_eye · 01-16-2006, 06:01 AM

today, i woke up feeling better. i've been sick as a rabid dog for the past 30 hours, give-or-take.

it's good to feel solid again. i've had aches and pains combined with that horrible hollow sensation throughout my body - you know, the one that threatens to liquify everything inside and shoot it out your ass in one, massive hershey squirt?

yeah. it sucks when that happens.

PhilSmith · 01-16-2006, 06:49 AM

Today? I got up in the morning; tricky and unusual since my sleeping hours have been quite messed up lately. Did a bit of writing (co-writing a novel with Cussedness) and then threw together another Degnom's Travels cartoon. Currently chatting with Tabitha, my co-artist on the Dung Eon and Cube comic strips. Just got her line art for this Wednesday's Cube. Will probably do a bit more work on my own Linux box in a while. I've found one IDE cable. I need another, though; the box has two hard drives, a CD-R drive and a DVD-ROM... and not enough cables for all of 'em...

Sir!? Are you suggesting i part with my most beloved Legacy Toys?

The thought has crossed my mind, but it's not really an issue with money, but availability. Ok, it's money and availability because i am waiting for cable to become available yet i do have alternatives: BellSouth DSL with complete phone bill running around $120 per month or DirecWay which is...godawful expensive and godawful horrible all around.

Someday...in the hopefully near future...Cable will arise.

Today I began to scan the last batch of family photo's. I worked from the oldest, 1913? we think to the newer ones. Burning cd's. The older ones needed to be cleaned up both the original hold in your hand photos (dust etc) and cleaned up digitally then sealed.
The food saver works perfectly to vaccum seal old pictures. They need to be put on top of a piece of stock card paper, Acid free, to prevent damage from bacteria and air. Burning them to cd will allow me to store the actual photos away to prevent further damage. That's my today

Almost finished writing a song, got most of the riffs, harmonies and leads etc, but cant decide on the title or what lyrics to use.... DOH !!!.
