Dusty Chalk

I'm probably not going to make it, but I'll try. Go ahead and make plans, and I'll let you know Saturday. (I slept past noon today, and if that's the way things go the rest of the week, then it's probably a bad idea to only come down for half a day.)

My favourite Thai place is a hole-in-the-wall. Cheers to that and to everything everyone else said!

Wouldn't know about wholesome...my thoughts were entirely not...I had a weakness for her bigger than Batman's. I know exactly which episode that batman gif came from. That was one of my favourite episodes. I need to have a batman marathon with all the Yvonne catwoman batgirl...I vaguely remember in one of them, they snuck in a dirty joke, but no idea which one, what the joke was, the context, or anything. Just that I was really surprised they had gotten away with it. EDIT: Never mind all of this, I am confusing batgirl with catwoman. Fuck, I hate getting old.

Yeah, she definitely had a lot to do with me growing up during my puberty.

What's a squash bug? And that middle sunflower is gorgeous. Dusty like.

Burning is so 20th century.

Fuck you, cancer!

Yup. But he does that. Two people -- to whom I lent the book -- stopped in the same place: at the beginning of the last act or so, which isn't anywhere near the end. One person I convinced to finish it, and the other I couldn't.

Sure! As long as you don't mind if I foist some beer on you. No, not hoist, foist -- as in give you beer that I can't drink.

Knucks' set from Friday night.

Sympathies, Carl.

...the hell? I thought everyone loved that book (including me, not even a gamer). Not saying you're wrong, just curious what you found off-putting. Did you hate Snowcrash? Me: just finished Changes by Jim Butcher (Dresden files) -- unholy carp! That one... Also finished first installment of Indexing: Reflections by Seanan McGuire. Also started The Skies Discrowned / An Epitaph in Rust by Tim Powers.

Hmmm...hadn't noticed that, you're right, it's rather 2 dimensional. Not even D'Appolito.

My money's still good with them. Most guitar shops like me -- the rest at least pretend.

Dew et!

I came out of my first guitar less just 2 hours ago.

I still want one of these:

(whimper) So hungry now.

There is a Ned Flanders themed metal band called Okilly Dokilly

Same here -- let me know if you go, I'll make the effort. I've gone to one before, they had some really nice stuff (MBL being my favourite, since I'm into omnis).

That sounds delicious. I think I'm eating at NYAJ's tonight. I mean, I'd be happy with honey whiskey candied bacon alone.

Argh, already expired. I was also in the "why not at that price" conflagration.
