thewordnerd: Hey, how goes?
evile: OK. I'm tired but I'll live.
thewordnerd: Hmmm. Late night? Or early morning? Or both?
evile: both. I went out with the gals last night & had to get up for
work this morning.
thewordnerd: Ah, right. I wasn't sure how late you all typically stayed out
on Mondays.
evile: last night wasn't really typical, we went to a club.
thewordnerd: Ah, yeah, figured it wouldn't be. :)
evile: And then I didn't go to sleep right away when I got home.
*wink, wink, nudge, nudge*
thewordnerd: Heh, of course not. ;)
evile: Oh well, things are pretty low key at work, and it's halfway
over, so it's all good.
thewordnerd: That's good. We should plan a Bull Creek thing this weekend if
the weather is going to hold like this.
evile: definitely!!
thewordnerd: I'm free on both Saturday and Sunday. Actually, Saturday might
be better for me, as I'm planning on checking out these Mojo Meeting
discussion things on Sunday nights.
evile: Ok
evile: Saturday is probably better for me, too. There's a music thing
I want to go to Sunday afternoon.
thewordnerd: ?6cWhich are at 7, so that still leaves the entire day, but we
may not want to be on a schedule. Dunno.
thewordnerd: Oh, cool.
evile: right :)
thewordnerd: Hopefully Darth Vader isn't making plans to be there on
Saturday as well. :)
evile: heh. Hope not.
evile: I'd be free after Yoga at 10:30, and before, say 7. My friend
e. and I usually go to brunch after Yoga, but I think she said she
had something better to do this week.
thewordnerd: Sorry, just realized I was out of tea, so had to make more. A
day without tea wouldn't be very worthwhile. :) That sounds good. I'm
free all day, so I'd be up for either heading straight out or for
waiting a bit.
thewordnerd: Should we do the picnic thing again?
evile: That sounds good :)
thewordnerd: Cool. I wonder if there's a cooler HEB/grocery store between
my place and Bull Creek. I'm starting to strongly dislike this one.
evile: nope.
thewordnerd: Damn. I had to go to Reesa's HEB to buy a baking pan. That's
pathetic.
evile: I suppose we could dogleg over when we hit mopac and hit the
big Jewish HEB on Mopac at Far West, and then go back to 2222 and go
east.
evile: oops, west
thewordnerd: Hmmm, possibly. I guess we can think more about that later. I
was just thinking of picking up sandwiches or something, and hoping
that the selection at another place would be better.
evile: I hear ya.
thewordnerd: Hey, would you mind offering a lift to dinner tomorrow? I
thought about emailing Jenni, but unless I'm very mistaken about my
Austin geography, it looks as if this place is far south, so she'd
probably be pulled far out of her way.
evile: no problem, I can do that.
thewordnerd: Cool. Still only have one working battery? :)
evile: no, 2 now. BUT, no spare tire for the purple trooper (the one
I usually drive) because I had a flat Friday night
thewordnerd: Yikes!
evile: and then smushed the bumper on my rental car Sunday afternoon.
The car karma hasn't been good lately.
thewordnerd: Yuck. Have you guys been able to get the dent out?
evile: Sweetie did, and the rental went home Sunday night. I haven't
heard from the rental people, but it's possible they will just stick
a repair charge on my credit card.
thewordnerd: Yuck. Did you point it out to them?
evile: No, I returned the car Sunday night, about 15 minutes until
midnight, they were very very closed.
thewordnerd: Ah. Eh, if it isn't very visible then I'd hope that nothing
will happen.
evile: once he was done with it, its a small raised scuff.
thewordnerd: Hmmm.
evile: No tellin. When I turned in my 4 year lease, there was a scuff
on the bumper that the company ended up billing me about $600 for.
evile: It's not like it's gonna break me but if I'm charging $600 on
my card, I'd rather be doing something FUN, like Cancun for the
weekend.
thewordnerd: Yeah! Damn. That seems a bit excessive. I think I vaguely
remember you mentioning this a few months back, but can't recall all
the details.
evile: Me neither, I just put it out of my mind. Things that make me
mad and I can't do anything about go down the memory hole.
thewordnerd: Hmmm, wish I could do that.
evile: It's actually a little bit terrifying. I literally forget all
about things, places, people, events...completely.
evile: Until someone else mentions them and then maybe I'll vaguely
remember why I threw them down the memory hole.
thewordnerd: Oh, wow, that extreme.
evile: yeah.
thewordnerd: Hmmm. Yeah, I can see how that wouldn't be a desirable trait.
evile: I am not sure if the obsessive journaling is a cause or effect
of the memory hole.
thewordnerd: You've been journaling obsessively?
evile: Since I was 14 years old.
thewordnerd: Oh wow.
evile: yup
thewordnerd: Ah, so you mean in general, not necessarily LJ. Gotcha.
evile: right.
evile: Despite what you youngsters may think, the internet has not
been around forever. We used to use this stuff called paper and pen...
thewordnerd: LOL I was wondering when you'd chime in with some sentiment
exactly like that one. :P
thewordnerd: Not wondering *if*, mind you.
evile: Oh, so now I'm old AND predictable!
thewordnerd: LOL
evile: *whacking you with my cane*
thewordnerd: Wow, didn't know you had one of those.
evile: all us old people do..
thewordnerd: Ah. Well so do I, so now you're calling *me* old.
evile: Oh, pfft! I meant a walking cane, silly. Very common comedy
image, old lady shuffling along at a snails' pace with her walking
cane
thewordnerd: Heh, I know, I'm just picking. :)
evile: OK.
evile: whippersnapper.
thewordnerd: Hah, whatever. At least I could run faster should that be
necessary.
evile: I'll throw my false teeth at you and trip you!
thewordnerd: Wow, I'd be a pretty pathetic runner if I had a propensity for
tripping over things like false teeth.
thewordnerd: 'Oh, no, it's an unusually large pebble! Turn! Quick!'
evile: I'm getting them spring loaded, so I throw them and they bite
people's asses..
evile: You're only making things worse for yourself...making me think
through my old people armament like this
thewordnerd: LOL That's a great image. Like those wind-up skeleton teeth
for Halloween.
evile: *giggle snort*
thewordnerd: Nah, those things kinda rattle. :P
thewordnerd: So you can't gigglesnort with windup spring-loaded false
teeth. Just one of the sacrifices you'd have to make.
evile: you're cruisin, youngun!
thewordnerd: :)
evile: Sweetie said he might be coming to dinner tomorrow. He likes Thai
food.
thewordnerd: Oh wow. Cool.
thewordnerd: Hey, I was going to ask before I forget . . . Do you think we
can stop somewhere on the way to or from dinner so I can get a money
order? I need to buy a transcript from UT, but the bastards don't
take Visa, and I'm out of check blanks.
evile: Yeah. I think he had a pretty OK time last night with the
girlies, except the actual food made his intestines unhappy.
thewordnerd: Where'd you guys eat?
evile: Dog Almighty. It's a place that serves hotdogs and variations
thereof.
evile: Oh, and french fries.
thewordnerd: Hmmm. Where did I hear about that place before? Hmmmm.
evile: onyxlynxx maybe? She likes it.
thewordnerd: Possibly.
evile: they have vegetarian tofu dogs.
thewordnerd: Hmmm. I think that's the context that I heard about it in, so
it may have been her. Hmmm.
evile: Great place, limited but tasty menu, and very inexpensive.
thewordnerd: Hmmm. Sounds interesting. I wanna go.
evile: want to go there and then hike at bull creek?
thewordnerd: Sure.
evile: cool :)
thewordnerd: Is it near or on the way?
evile: near-ish. It's on Burnet Rd. just north of where koenig
crosses it going towards bull creek park.
thewordnerd: Oh, ok, so fairly close to me.
evile: Yeah. Sweetie rode through your neighborhood on his way home last
night.
thewordnerd: Ah. Biking?
evile: yes.
thewordnerd: Ah. Cool.
evile: he biked Sunday, too. He's so happy. The weather has been too
crappy for him to ride for weeks now!
thewordnerd: Yeah, seriously. I used to want to live in Oregon. Now, no
more.
evile: Nice place to visit, I'd kill myself if I lived there.
thewordnerd: Yeah, exactly. I don't understand how people can not like the
sun.
evile: I wear sunscreen daily, but I still like sunshine.
thewordnerd: Yeah. I know people who actively hide from it, and would love
living in Oregon or Washington just for that reason.
evile: looneys
thewordnerd: Yep.
evile: speaking of...I think my SIL altered a quiz for posting in LJ.
I have no idea why, but I think she did.
thewordnerd: Speaking of looneys, did you go to the GWNN munch last
weekend? Were any of the Satanic sex party protestors there?
thewordnerd: Why do you think that?
evile: No. I was at Central Market with Skye_ds, sineater, sonar0m, the
bird, and some of Skye_ds's friends.
thewordnerd: Yikes. I'm sorry.
evile: the quiz is "If you and your friends were a Superhero Team"
and it has her and sineater and sonar0m teaming up to have sex and work
against the plans of ME. Just kind of handy that a random grab of
names from her friends list would come out like that.
thewordnerd: LOL! LOL!!!
thewordnerd: Well, regardless, I think it's pretty damned funny. :)
evile: but...why? why do that?
thewordnerd: I have no idea, and wouldn't expend the effort trying to
understand it.
evile: Am I supposed to be entertained? Flattered? wounded? I am
just...perplexed.
thewordnerd: Heh, I bet she did do it. Her mood was 'accomplished' so she
was obviously proud of her accomplishment of editing the results. :)
evile: Oh, you are so smart. That's exactly it.
thewordnerd: I'd just laugh, and keep on trying to fight the good fight.
Look at it this way, if she was unsettled enough to edit the results
then you've gotta be accomplishing something on some level.
evile: that is a hopeful thought :)
evile: How stupid does she actually think I am?
evile: cute quizzies--how did you get them to come out so
perfectly? :P
SkyeDS: dunno
SkyeDS: probably small friends list
thewordnerd: Heh. Funny how she knew exactly what you meant by 'perfectly',
too. Or, at least, she didn't ask for clarification.
evile: yup. verrry interesting!
thewordnerd: If they came out that way for me randomly I'd probably ask why
having someone come out as the person I struggled against would mean
they came out perfectly.
evile: well, I used the word 'perfectly', she didn't.
evile: but she didnt' disagree.
thewordnerd: Exactly.
evile: It's also possible that some of her other stuff, especially
talking about her ex boyfriend's 'conquests' is aimed at me. But I am
not gonna go there. She doesn't have normal friendships with anyone,
certainly not anyone with a penis, so really wouldn't understand the
concept.
evile: she pretty much HAS to fit it into a box she understands.
evile: No matter how many times I say I'm hetero and mono.
evile: And even if I wasn't...no way I'd have that dirty old piece of
bologne when I've got prime rib at home.
evile: When sineater made the same assumption on the phone the other day,
I smacked him down quick and hard, and he was very apologetic. I
think as soon as he said it to me, he realized how ridiculous it was.
And then felt bad when I said his words were offensive and hurtful.
His opinion is the one that matters to me.
thewordnerd: Wait, I'm confused, what assumption?
evile: I used to be friends with her ex. She assumed I had 'fallen'
for his 'lies' and become sexually intimate with him.
evile: I have told her and sineater both that I am hetero and mono and
wouldn't do him if he was the last boy on earth, anyway, but the
assumption remains, and I figure if I keep arguing with her over it,
it will just make her think 'milady doth protest too much' or
whatever.
thewordnerd: What the hell? Wow, the issues just keep piling and piling
with every story I hear about her.
evile: yup.
evile: I don't want her mangy old sloppy seconds. I would like to
take sineater away from her, but that's definitely NOT why.
thewordnerd: Right.
evile: Oh well. If she thinks I'm stupid and clueless, that will help
me in the long run, I guess.
thewordnerd: Indeed, though it's certainly not a flattering thought.
evile: *shrug* a lot of problems go away when you take the ego out of
the situation.
evile: I dont' care what she thinks of me, I am on speaking terms
with her, and therefore on speaking terms with sineater, building trust,
and that's exactly where I want to be.
thewordnerd: Yeah.
evile: take out the ego, look at the bigger picture, everything gets
better that way.
evile: It also helps to have friends to bitch to :)
thewordnerd: Heh, indeed. :)
evile: hired, dependable assassins would be better, but I'll take
what I can get at this point :)
thewordnerd: Heh, that would be nice.
evile: very much so.
thewordnerd: A friend of mine apparently has gang contacts back in Iowa, or
they're friends of friends or something, and they've quoted him rates.
thewordnerd: Apparently it only costs a few hundred.
evile: sweet!!
evile: but then their silence is purchased on installment plans for
the rest of your life, I guess.
thewordnerd: Heh, quite possibly.
evile: that's what I would do if it was my business.
thewordnerd: Yeah, seems sensible. Of course, there's the risk that someone
might decide to not pay up and drag you down too. Just gotta hope no
one realizes that.
evile: the crime families pretty much have it all figured out, as far
as who they're going to send to do time if someone ends up getting
caught.
thewordnerd: Ah, quite possibly. I know nothing about the assassination
business.
evile: I read crime novels.
thewordnerd: Ah, yes, that'll teach you quite a bit. :)
evile: yup.
evile: I've decided that if my first mammogram is bad news, I'm going
to go to all my friends & family, get a list of who needs killin' and
go out shootin'
thewordnerd: Hah! Good idea, I'll start making my list. :)
evile: awesome :)
evile: Now I'm going to be disappointed if I end up healthy :P
thewordnerd: LOL
evile: or, another way to look at it, I'm creating a win win
situation, whichever way it falls.
evile: I'm picturing the big breeder-van I just rented, full to the
doorsills with duct-taped struggling people off everyone's "bad" list.
evile: I'm driving and playing Morrissey REALLY LOUD
thewordnerd: LOL
thewordnerd: Great image. :)
evile: "You WILL be dying today. But first, I want you to WANT to
die. Listen to these lyrics, bitches!"
thewordnerd: Hah!
evile: then we'll go down a nice unmarked road to a nice big hole and
everyone will get the choice of Koolade or a bullet.
evile: Is it wrong that this is such a comforting mental picture for
me?
thewordnerd: Not if it helps you get through the day. :)
evile: thanks for saying that :) Even if you are over there
going "get me AWAY from this looney" :)
thewordnerd: Hah! No, I think I'm relatively safe. You've only threatened
me with the spring-loaded false teeth, after all. :P
evile: LOL!
evile: "You will Like" would probably LOVE me to bite him on the ass
with my false teeth...consider it a privilege!!
thewordnerd: Only if you tied his balls up first.
thewordnerd: Or perhaps you should just . . . ahem . . . adjust your aim a
bit.
thewordnerd: Damn, that one hurt just to type.
evile: *blink blink* that was NASTY. Thank you SO much for sharing.
thewordnerd: LOL
evile: ew.
thewordnerd: Hey, you started it. :)
evile: true. I guess it's fair for you to end it :P
thewordnerd: Mental note: Bringing up You Will Like is like nuclear war. No
one wins a nuclear war.
evile: *giggle*
thewordnerd: Wow, mashing potatos is fun and therapeudic.
thewordnerd: Ahem. Just thought I'd share, in light of recent dicussion :)
thewordnerd: Er, discussions
evile: yup. I love mashed potatoes from scratch.
thewordnerd: They're fun, though I always go overboard with boiling the
potatos. :)
evile: yeah. I like them to be very very mushy
evile: with lots of butter, some milk, white pepper and sometimes a
bouillon cube, sour cream, and/or garlic.
thewordnerd: Yum, sounds good. This is potato salad, but same basic
principle. :)
evile: yummy!
thewordnerd: I've been craving it for awhile now, and those little tiny
tubs just aren't enough, nor do they taste the same as mine.
evile: yeah. I like my own recipe far better than anything store
bought or at a restaurant.
evile: Time to get outta here! I'll talk at ya later!
thewordnerd: Bye!
