dude, how big ARE those samosas?????

around these parts samosas are palm sized. 20 would be a feast. 80 would be something like food for a month.

methinks you should post a picture.

damn, wish i'd known what this thread was about last night, when i was up for two hours 'cause my tummy had gone loopy.

not offering details. you'll thank me.

awwwwwww, i feel all loved and wanted.

thanks guys!!!


i need to budget for travel - i have many invites this year, and little cash to accept them all. will of course let you know if i'm coming to your neighborhood, so's i can crash with you and save dough for the next trip.

love you guys.

when i was a kid we had a dog born of purebred stock.

except it was a cross breed, so a mutt.

pekinese mother, labrador father.

i knew the facts of life. this had me wondering ALOT.

decent dog, funny looking, would have been a great dog if we'd known to train him. stupid family.

i am NOT a dog person. that being said, in the past five years there has been exactly ONE dog i have loved. His name is Murphy. A friend time-shared him because she adored him. He is well mannered. He is friendly. He is HUGE and fluffy. He's a Bernese Mountain Dog. My high school buddy loves bassett...

i wanna see it!!!!

and i don't even get BBC America anymore, drat drat DRAT!

(or should i say "jesus fucking christ!"?)

The Ryman is busy that week ... George Jones is playing the following Saturday (12 Mar). I would be really pleased if Mr Jones played with the man. oh wouldn't that be FINE! sigh. i just can't do the ryman. too far, not near enough to relatives to make it cost effective. drat. i may not even make i...

fyi, it's january. i have soundtrack to LoTR on eternal replay for the month. i put all three cds on the 'puter back when the cd drive still worked. re: SMiLE - i heard Heros and Villians on one of the local college stations, and filed the info away for later. was hanging with friends, wandered into...

Brian Wilson's SMiLE is the topic. it took me a few listens to become completely infatuated with it. i think a certain part of my love for it is nostalgia. not sure what to tell you about how to like it better. it was in constant play for about a month, i'd even take the cd player with me so i could...

i too work in construction. i process contracts between contractors/consultants and the owner, who is my employer (one of those major universities in Cambridge MA, you get two guesses.)

i LOVE this line:

And sleeping is a gateway drug to being awake again.


think it's time to change the sig line.

you don't like rex the runt?????

wow. you've fallen in my estimation.

it hasn't turned to hate yet, but given time and ammunition i'm sure it could.

you let me know if you have more fuel to add here.

best wishes for the hatefest, your poppet

jesus christ, i LOVE New Scientist. when i used to work at MIT's Media Lab, my group had a subscription. i used to always say the one thing i would really miss would be reading New Scientist every week. and i was right. it's scientific! it's british! doesn't get any better than that for geeky glory.

'cause i love it. out - mariah in - BRENDA Lee The Christmas Song - Ella Fitzgerald Baby It's Cold Outside - Dean Martin Maybe This Christmas - Ron Sexsmith Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee Christmas Night In Harlem- Loius Armstrong Santa Claus is Coming to Town - Tony Bennett home for...

hey, the knoxville theater is being renovated, renovations currently underway. will it definitely be ready????

it looks GORGEOUS.

oh man, i REALLY REALLY REALLY wanna go to the knoxville show - i could combine it w/ a visit to the relatives, and rack up serious karma points. and see my aunt dean, who i LOVE.

could somebody post / let me know when tix are on sale? not yet, i hope!

i don't seem to have any either. the early stuff makes me slightly giddy, as if there are things to be expected, though i have no idea what they are. The Beatles White Album makes me feel all summery, which i know is WRONG - it's supposed to have a Xmas feeling, it was released at holiday time. howe...

Thank you all for your kind wishes. Today is my 40th birthday. Last night friends took me out, but forgot to bring the credit cards. Guess who paid. Found the ATM card, and offered me some cash, which did not cover the total expense. I took the cash. With friends like these..... This evening i might...
