What have you got in your...


sorabji.com: The Stalking Post: What have you got in your...
THIS IS A READ-ONLY ARCHIVE FROM THE SORABJI.COM MESSAGE BOARDS (1995-2016).

By Platypus on Tuesday, October 26, 2004 - 08:08 pm:

    In the spirit of Sorabji tradition--what have you got in your purse/glove compartment/backpack/briefcase/man satchel/pockets/whatever? I think it's time to revive some good old fashioned threads which take forever to load and go off on endless tangents. And I miss our absent friends, who I believe are fleeing the crossfire of operation jizzmop.

    Platypus purse:

    Front zipper pocket:
    "Marble Memo" pad, upon which my life is based--grocery lists, phone numbers, to do lists, random notes to self, etc.
    An errant laundry quarter
    Burts bees (in tube for easy use)
    Clear glass heart with smoky stripes from creepy stalker-esque former co-worker.
    Keys to Cowlicks
    Black ballpoint for general notes.

    Middle zipper pocket:
    Wallet (which resembles a manpurse it and of itself)
    House keys
    Note-card to remind me to buy printer ink

    Back zipper pocket:
    Nothing...as of the moment

    I'm wearing pajamas right now, so no pockets.

    However; on my bedside table:

    Boxed set of the A.N. Roquelaure novels
    "The Big Bang"
    Little yellow cheap clock that keeps breaking
    Watch
    Assorted rings I haven't put on yet this morning
    Nifty red lamp from Ikea
    Glasses case
    Bottle stuffed full of feathers which the cats keep pulling down
    Glass jar filled with condoms
    Rescue inhaler (Maxxair Autoinhaler)
    Empty vials from my nebulizer
    Some sort of strange cat toy
    Battery charger for my digital camera (for some reason there are eight outlets in the bedroom and three in the rest of the house, therefore most of the electronics gravitate here)
    Cradle for my cell phone (in theory the cell phone is somewhere too. If the landline worked I would call it and find out where it was.)
    Also miscellaneous pilles (vicodin, percoset, singulair, allegra-d, etc) in an apothecary's box my mum gave me
    "Triangle: the Fire that Changed America"
    "The Book of Salt"
    "The Coming Plague"
    and
    "Against our Will"

    Antigone- no no, much worse, i have a uterus. It demands pills. Ponstan and codein are its favorite food.

    Du Maurier- you are correct! And they changed their paper+filter design last week, it's SLICK.

    patrick- are you reffering to tha fact that my bag is a drug store?
    But Platypus wins, because she's got the vicodin.


    I forgot to mention my wallet. Behold, it is made of duct tape.


By patrick on Wednesday, October 27, 2004 - 08:33 pm:

    ok
