Kahlua: Man did that sound wrong
evile: *laugh* OMG, too funny!
Kahlua: Oh yeah, did ya get to kick your cousin's ass?
evile: sadly, no. This one was a 'core strength' class,so it was
basically exercise...really mean exercise.
Kahlua: Awww.
Kahlua: Oh well. :) Next time.
evile: Not to worry, I'm gonna beat him up tomorrow.
Kahlua: Sweet
evile: I may beat him harder than strictly necessary. he's fallen in
with the stoner children at school.
Kahlua: Ah, yes, pummel him muchly
evile: yup. and rather than be all moral and prudey, I'm just going
to tell him that people who don't have anything better to do than
take (and talk about taking) drugs are BORING. Which is true,
actually.
evile: I'm not sure I can make him understand the difference between
baking every day at/after school, and having special things on
special occasions...or is there one? I think there is...
Kahlua: There sure is.
evile: OK. I hoped I wasn't just being a hypocrite.
Kahlua: Nope.
evile: this 'cool cousin' gig is harder than it looks.
Kahlua: Heheh
Kahlua: "Cool Dad" is a bitch, too.
evile: Lordy, and that ones just gonna get more and more so!
Kahlua: No kidding. *sigh*
evile: You're doing fine. You'll do fine. *hugs* The fact that you
even worry about it says you are on the right track :)
Kahlua: I sure hope so
evile: yup. :)
evile: clicking around to too many windows! had to shut some down
Kahlua: Heheh
Kahlua: I just installed a multiple-desktop program on my machine.
evile: busy little bee, aren't ya?
Kahlua: Bzz bzz
evile: I'm just doing the minimum.
evile: I can not wait to get home and get a hot bath!
Kahlua: Mmm, baaath
evile: I felt OK this morning, but sitting at my desk all day has
made my legs and back just feel stiff and owie
Kahlua: Yeah, the sitting gets to me too.
Kahlua: Stupid oldness.
evile: stupid out of shape ness...for me, anyway.
Kahlua: Me too. I am NOT aerobically fit this year.
evile: ...this decade..for me :P
evile: yay! meeting with HR tomorrow at 2 to see if I can lateral
elsewhere.
Kahlua: And you said you didn't like football, here you are talking
about a lateral. :)
evile: what?
Kahlua: Heh heh, it's a sideways pass in football. Never mind, I'm a
dork.
Kahlua: AAAAANWAY, now it's my turn to leave before you.
Kahlua: *PTOING*
evile: OK. *hugs*
Kahlua: *HUG* See you anon!

evile: my icq got wacky and disconnected me for no reason.
Rhino: we had a network burp earlier that booted everyone.
evile: yay for computer fun.
Rhino: =)
evile: I am ready for my margarita now.
Rhino: HELL YEAH
evile: you drink 'lime things'...close enough :P
Rhino: limealicious
evile: and you won't get scurvy :)
Rhino: Scurvy prevention!
Rhino: thats my new marketing campaign. =)
evile: with lots of graphic scurvy photos--nobody wants that!
Rhino: Im hoping to combine my prostate cancer and scurvy prevention
campaigns. =)
evile: dare I even ask what your prostate cure is?
evile: *puts on gloves and thinks of england*
Rhino: LOL. Apparently the American Cancer Society backed a study
saying that regular orgasms for men help prevent prostate cancer.
evile: Go ACS! That would have been a fun study to participate in :)
Rhino: heh
evile: and then it turns out it's just sex while being watched by
scientists that's good for ya..
Rhino: fully agreed!
evile: pervs in labcoats. That might make a funny scene at a gwnn
party....
Rhino: LOL!
evile: better than the construction workers that Nikiyoy and I had been
pondering.
Rhino: heh
evile: Nikiyoy was doing big existential angst last night...she's 22 and
doesn't know what to do with her life. It was so unlike her, but very
quintessentially "22". I had no clue what to tell her.
Rhino: Tell her to relax and find a couple of boytoys for the weekend.
evile: yup. And for goddess' sake, DONT move in with any of them!
Rhino: Move in? Hell, all she needs is to rent a couple of
schlongs. Not even an option to lease. =)
evile: yup
evile: She might be visting her poly boyfriend in Dallas this weekend.
Rhino: good for her
evile: she keeps saying she's a lesbian, but then talking about boys.
Rhino: Heh
evile: I forget she's 22, she's very sensible about most stuff. So
when she gets pouty I take this step back.
Rhino: *nod*
evile: I guess everyone gets pouty sometimes.
Rhino: I know I do. =)
evile: I kind of hate geting stuck in the older/wiser slot
sometimes...like I know anything about anything. Maybe how NOT to do
it.
Rhino: thats the best kind.
evile: *shrug* whenever I'd pull the 'big sister' on my brother A,
he would always tell me I didn't know what I was talking about.
Eventually I gave up. "OK, A., Gravity doesn't apply to you. fine."
So it's wierd to have someone solicit that from me.
Rhino: =)
evile: People are silly.
Rhino: Im outa here. you have a great weekend. =)
evile: you too :)

evile: so what's the scoop on Sketch?
Hoovooloo: What do you mean?
evile: Oh, I just heard that 'everyone' was feeling sorry for him,
and I was wondering if there was a reason for that, or just in
general :P
Hoovooloo: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-
/B0009NN6EA/qid=1119978556/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-9340225-2386331?
v=glance&s=dvd&n=507846
Hoovooloo: I haven't talked to him in a week or so. Last time we
spoke was after he missed my graduation party. He'd been at a
convention selling copies of his documentary.
Hoovooloo: Coal came. She appeared to be in good spirits.
evile: that's good :)
Hoovooloo: http://notes.nicoleandjason.com/archives/000084.html#more
Hoovooloo: Aha. Nicole's livejournal has something about Jason's
grandmother in a coma.
evile: dang.
Hoovooloo: That's my best guess.
evile: well, that's sad :(
Hoovooloo: That's also news from mid-May.
Hoovooloo: Who all was the bearer of woe tidings?
evile: Nobody specific, Rhino said he went to a gathering and
everyone was talking about 'poor sketch' and he didn't want to hear
it...so I figured he was not the one to ask why sketch was 'poor'
Hoovooloo: Huh.
Hoovooloo: Well, I haven't talked to anyone on TIM for ages (I
actually logged in last week, but everyone there was idle.)
evile: I logged in a while back, but it was very quiet.
Hoovooloo: It took Dory's Mom to point out that my graduation BBQ was
in fact on Lag Day.
evile: I was flying thru MSP on Lag Day.
Hoovooloo: MSP?
evile: Minneapolis st paul
Hoovooloo: Oh hey, I finally saw the TinyTIM livejournal group a
couple of weeks ago, how was Rhiannon*'s wedding? [*J-Law]
evile: she's engaged. the wedding hasn't happened yet.
Hoovooloo: Is she a lawyer now?
evile: 9/9/06
evile: she passed the CA bar, but she's working as a paralegal.
Hoovooloo: Sounds like a big wedding, with that much lead time.
evile: Nah, they are just wanting to pay as they go & not do a big
debt thing.
Hoovooloo: Emminently reasonable.
Hoovooloo: Do you approve of the future Mr. Rhiannon?
evile: oh, yeah. He's a doll :)
evile: He is cute, sweet, smart, he treats Rhi very well, and I even
like his family :P
Hoovooloo: Good!
evile: I think so. She asked me to be the MOH, but I'm not sure how
much I will actually be involved with anything since they're in CA
and I'm in TX
Hoovooloo: Jess got to fill in for an absent MOH three weeks ago.
evile: oy. I bet that was fun.
Hoovooloo: I even got roped into being a groomsman
evile: easier for guys--you just wear a suit.
Hoovooloo: Eight hours+ of 100 degree heat without AC. It was a real
joy.
evile: oh. ew!
Hoovooloo: I was eyeing the bare-shoulder/armless dresses on the
bridesmaids with considerable envy.
Hoovooloo: And of course the tuxedo I own was entirely the wrong
style, had to rent another one.
evile: *grinz*
Hoovooloo: In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't abuse my own tux with that
day.
Hoovooloo: And the rental came with lifts! I got to be 6'6" for a day.
evile: *laff!* That is _exactly_ what you needed.
Hoovooloo: I had a small victory this weekend, I recharged the AC on
my car, marking my second attempt at auto AC service, and the first
success.
evile: I didn't know you could do that yourself, I thought you needed
a freon license or something.
Hoovooloo: Well, the unsuccessful (and much more involved) attempt
was to convert a broke R12 system to the legal-for-DIY R134a.
Hoovooloo: This time I had one antique can of R12 that bigheart
bought circa 1990.
evile: *nod*
Hoovooloo: The tricky bit was finding the correct hose and tap to add
it to the system.
Hoovooloo: Between this and the fiddling I did with my father-in-law
and his brake lines, I'm feeling a lot more comfortable with high-
pressure systems.
Hoovooloo: And, as you can probably tell, I'd rather be home playing
with my car today.
evile: heh. Yeah. I can always think of stuff I'd rather be doing,
while I'm at work. Then I get home and hte Couch of Doom beckons...
Hoovooloo: Last night was lawn mowing
evile: ack. don't remind me. *adds another task to the list*
Hoovooloo: Followed by couch-potatoing and watching the DVDs of
Firefly.
evile: heh. yeah
evile: bunches of people are getting into firefly now.
Hoovooloo: We watched them when they were on (TiVo is good for
catching shows in bad timeslots). The DVDs arrived as a graduation
gift.
evile: oh, sweet :)
Hoovooloo: I was surprised by the graduation gifts. Really
surprised. :-)
evile: But it is an accomplishment, so it's good for people to
recognize that.
Hoovooloo: I see it a transition point, between people not believing
that I don't have degree, to not believing I have a degree from a
good school.
evile: *nod*
Hoovooloo: I get to look forward to exactly what I said to Woody on
seeing his degree, "You went to Harvard?!?"
evile: *LAUGH!*
Hoovooloo: Funnily enough, I saw tk's name in one of my classes.
Hoovooloo: One of the CS professors needed a body of information to
manipulate in demonstration, and he was using on-campus student
names, dorm rooms and phone numbers from the early 90's.
Hoovooloo: Sure enough, there was Tom Kim.
evile: OMG, too funny.
evile: small world!
evile: cute LJ comment. That would be awesome :)
Hoovooloo: Yeah, I'm still bummed the cruise isn't leaving from there
this year.
Hoovooloo: It's Tampa this year. Joy. Tampa.
evile: the last (only) time I cruised, wandering around NO and
wandering around Cozumel were the good parts. The boat itself...I
could pretty much do without.
Hoovooloo: Sounds like we took the same boat!
Hoovooloo: I wouldn't want to cruise without an event on the boat.
evile: *nod* yeah, or a bunch of friends onboard to go and be silly
with.
evile: boot the teenagers out of the elevator and play grownup
7 "minutes in heaven" :P
Hoovooloo: http://www.fanclubcruises.com/efo_pictures.htm
evile: OMG, that was totally the boat we were on. Carnival's
Holiday :P
Hoovooloo: There were about 120 or so of the Ed-Heads on board. We
got the 'Doc Holidays' bar all to ourselves.
Hoovooloo: And each night we'd move from there to the Casablanca-
themed piano bar and take it over.
evile: that sounds like fun :)
Hoovooloo: This year it's on a bigger boat :
http://www.fanclubcruises.com/efo.htm
Hoovooloo: I think there's a size limit to the boats that can get up
the river to NOLA.,
evile: probably.
Hoovooloo: This one is 120 feet longer.
Hoovooloo: I'm internally debating whether it's worth going to Tampa
for this one. It doesn't seem worth it to spend that long on a plane
to get to a 4 night cruise.
evile: yeah...plus: FLORIDA.
Hoovooloo: Isn't that a minus?
Hoovooloo: Last time we spent a week in New Orleans before the
cruise. Spending time in Tampa sounds a bit dull.
evile: Oh, I meant, one more chalk mark on the 'not worth it' side.
Hoovooloo: On the plus side, Kerry & Jill/Tigerlily are going, and
they're fun to vacation with.
evile: yeah.
Hoovooloo: Huh, I wonder if I could find a beach house within an hour
or so of Tampa.
evile: probably.
Hoovooloo: Ooh, there's a tampa.craigslist.
evile: I've got friends who are craigslist junkies :)
Hoovooloo: I bought a rowing machine from the local craigslist.
evile: how do you like it?
evile: it's a great workout, but it hurts, and I'm a wuss.
evile: (when I belonged to a gym, they had one)
Hoovooloo: It's the same brand and model I was trained on when I
rowed crew for a year at GMU.
Hoovooloo: A Concept D Erg.
evile: oh, so you're used to the pain. :P
Hoovooloo: Rowing is nice and low-impact. I tend to wheeze out rather
than injure myself with it.
evile: heh. 'wheeze out'
Hoovooloo: Wheeze and callous.
evile: I never actually hurt while using it, but the muscle pain the
next day or so was always really bad!
