    Old socks

    Foldable keyboard for said Visor
    Set of lockpicks
    Red hankerchief
    ChapStick (origional flavor)
    Keys
    Leatherman Wave

    Shit, now that I write that out, is seems like a lot. I guess I do have something in every pocket.


By patrick on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 02:40 pm:

    hey you

    my wife got an offer from Dillards corp to move to little rock...to be the head sweater designer...the money is good, especially for the little rock market, we could live like kings,buy a house everything but god damn, it's little rock...

    i bet the pot sucks there too....

    i'm firmly against mocing to little rock, but the thought was considered for a few days, i told the mrs. i knew at least one person outthataway


By Dougie on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 02:42 pm:

    Light yellow shirt with collar buttons, Red & beige Cocktail tie (flowers are beige, background is red), black light wool suit pants with the tiniest hint of pinstripes, black Florsheim ComfortTech shoes.


By crimson on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 02:50 pm:

    LR is a weirdass city. there are actually things i dig about it, but then again, i lived there for a long time. i have certain cool memories of that city, almost all of them hopelessly sleazy.

    LR's got a lot of problems w/ gang violence. there are parts of it that are really run-down & fucked up. however, there are little things i like about it. my best friend lives down there & won't move for any reason. she lives near some of the shittiest parts of the city & just won't move out. she digs it there.

    there are really rich areas & there are dirt-poor areas. it's a weird mix. it's urban, but you can escape to the county w/ a fairly short drive.

    i don't know about the pot down there. i'm not a pot person, really. haven't smoked LR weed since the '70s, i think.

    little rock's not bad. more urban than you'd think. but if you're coming from a MAJOR urban area, which you are, y'all might get bored really fast.


By sarah on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 03:18 pm:


    green, blue, grey and white horozontally striped pajama drawstring boxer shorts. green pajama t-shirt.


    where did i put that straightjacket?







By patrick on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 03:18 pm:

    i suspect its a lot like raleigh, minus the extreme white suburban element which finds itself in Raleigh.

    more like raleigh in size available culture.

    i bet downtown is really sleepy after 5 and nightlife is limited to sporadic spots...


By Isolde on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 03:22 pm:

    Going to shower.
    Going to dress.
    Going to go outside.
    Going to be human.


By Kalliope on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 03:39 pm:

    black clingy pants with a draw string, lime green v-necked nylon shirt i picked up in a vintage shop, brown leather doc marten sandals, brown suedey leather vintage jacket, amber stone linked necklace, amber in my ears, too much jewlery too (yingyang) and a red wig tossed on the floor...

    call it a cross between artfag and pretentious fruitcake.


By J on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 03:46 pm:

    If it would help your wife Patrick,you should do it,she wants to get somewhere in her career.I'm wearing pink p.j. top and mathching short bottoms,embroiderd(?)roses on them,and my wedding ring.I'm still sick.


By Isolde on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 03:49 pm:

    I'm wearing (after my shower), purple cords, a maroon shirt, a chocker (silk ribbon and a locket), my grandfather's watch, four earrings, wedding rings which don't belong to me, my pinky ring that I wear everywhere, my hair in two plaits.


By Notwolf on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 03:55 pm:

    shit.
    it's 10 hours later and i'm wearing the same thing. well, not the same 'thing', but the 'same' thing. y'know?
    as in different clothes, but it came out the same.
    except the boots, theyre the same, and i'm not wearing any socks.

    damn.


By pez on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 04:16 pm:

    white nike walkers ($7.07 with clearance and my discount) with blue rainbow laces (2 pr for $1.49).
    white mens sport socks with red toe seam.

    superman baby tee.
    eddie bauer canoe paddle sweatshirt.
    sideout baby blue glitter watch (it glows in the dark!).
    stainless chain with a sterling sixteenth note pendant.
    small silvery hoops.
    contacts.


By patrick on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 05:41 pm:

    J, my wife is just as spooked about moving to Little Rock as i am. It's tempting to her only because they might actually respect her there, but the reality of it is we would not fare well, i would not be happy and how good is that for the relationship on the whole. I accepted to move out here with her, but i draw the line at small to mid size mid west towns that have reps for being ultrascaryredneck


By Isolde on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 06:27 pm:

    Probably a wise choice, Patrick. She's gotten several offers in the past few months, hasn't she?


By patrick on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 06:48 pm:

    well, sorta...this is the most promising offer, as far as job, money and position...the others havent panned out for one reason or another....


By moonit on Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 07:37 pm:

    pinstripe pants (black with white stripe), black
    socks and shoes, white rib t-shirt, black dress
    jacket, oval onyx ring, silver and black watch,
    silver dolphin bracelet, heart shaped locket, 5
    silver hoop earings.

    i gotta buy clothes

    i gotta buy clothes with colour


By J on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 12:51 am:

    You sound like your styling to me Moonit.I tend to wear alot of black and white,it's just so much easier to mix and match,throw in a little gray,a little pink,it's all good.I look the best for my coloring in peach and pink,what about y'all?


By Isolde on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 12:59 am:

    Moonit, I recently branched out into colour. Stupid idea. You're sylin' as is.


By pez on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 01:18 am:

    for a long time my entire wardrobe was blue. blue jeans, blue shirts, blue skirts, blue socks, blue shoes...then i got some black and white things and stopped wearing t-shirts for a year. now i even have red and yellow in my wardrobe.

    at work i'm becoming known for my wacky shoes. someone else in the department came to work wearing tiger-striped fuzzy maryjanes and showed them to the girl in cosmetics. "omigosh, you're turning into lauren!"


By Isolde on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 01:42 am:

    My wardrobe was black until a few weeks ago. Geek boy says he likes me in colours.


By moonit on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 02:30 am:

    i used to have the blue and black bruise thing happening. I havent bought clothes for ages. I tried to buy clothes tonight but I sucked at it. The lime green top I wanted my mum said would look horrible so I didnt get it. i should of bought the damn thing anyway.

    its hard to buy clothes when you are in between sizes


By Isolde on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 02:31 am:

    yes, it is.


By Notwolf on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:12 am:

    pfft. everything i own is black, dark green, or burgundy (maroon).
    i like it that way.
    those ARE colors.
    tho i've been heading towards olive and brown...


By Tired on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:21 am:

    I'm wearing and feeling the black and blue bruise thing. I'm looking it cos my green shirt fell apart since the last wash. I'm feeling it cos of what I might say in another thread if I can find one where it wd be relevant, it's not worth starting a new thread. The cause of the "hell hell hell hell hell" and the mixtape confusion and all that. The mixtape might get done this weekend. It might get used by the time I'm 30.


By Kalliope on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 08:47 am:

    I've always been into dark colors. A majority of my wardrobe is black, olive green, brown. Since I moved to Richmond, I've started wearing brighter colors. I wear red a lot now. Lime green is another favorite. (Lime green clothing and red hair is a kick!) I've gotten more daring lately. i don't know.

    I think clothing is an important aspect of self-expression. When I was in Catholic school and forced to wear the same thing as everyone else, I was miserable. Now I look like a rummage sale that threw up. And I'm happy as hell...

    And I gotz style.


By TBone on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 10:02 am:

    I'm not happy unless I'm wearing green... My clothes range from green to olive to brown. I have a few exceptions, like a dark blue, here or there... Some black...

    But red? Forget about it. Yellow? unlikely.


By Isolde on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:35 am:

    That's what I mean about colours...purple and maroon yesterday, for example. Today I'm in black, the colours were sort of not appropriate. I dodn't mourn for months, but I feel wierd about wearing colours so soon, since I already feel odd the them....I've been wearing my rust pants a lot lately too, I like them.


By patrick on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 12:19 pm:

    a tight, white t-shirt that taunts all the gay men in my office with nipplage...semi tight blue levis, these are the kind that havee invaded hipster second hand stores...you know the jeans they took dyed them, and resold them....and my sneaks...my $20-kmart-i-really-should-get-some-new-ones-god-damn-they-stink sneaks

    black dorkfuck glasses....and a red A on my forhead


By Gecko on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 12:48 pm:

    I was all set to get out of the city today to spend the weekend in the woods with some friends, but then work called. (I work in a stuffy Public Relations firm in the Twin Cities).

    Rather then let them beat me, I decided to come to work in the clothes I had already tossed on for the woods weekend.

    A well worn pair of Carhartt overalls that have a huge hole in one thigh where a chainsawing incident almost made me an amputee, a funky old lambswool sweater and a big ol' pair of hiking boots.

    Much like Patrick, my co-workers are all really impressed.


By pez on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 01:27 pm:

    currently wearing extra long 555s and a black "lone ranger" t-shirt that someone tried to buy off me when i was exploring saturday market last year.


By heather on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:52 pm:

    patrick goddam-it

    anyway,

    stretchy-silvery skirt with some crap on the bottom edge

    white man-shirt over a black shirt

    porcupine quill


By patrick on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 04:46 pm:

    wha... what? what'd i do?


By TBone on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 05:06 pm:

    today:

    Olive dress shirt
    Grey/olive dress pants
    Circuitboard tie (Addiction)
    Tiny glasses
    My wierd-shaped shoes.


By Rhiannon on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 05:11 pm:

    *Dark grey cardigan sweater.
    *White wife-beater underneath.
    *These plain cotton olive pants with rhinestones sewed on the sides that were originally $88 but were on sale for $10, and you know they're not worth more than $5.
    *Black suede slip-on shoes (you know, the kind that don't have backs) and the suede is sewed into a harlequin pattern. I love them. They're Simple, so the toe is wider than the rest of the shoe for a duck-foot affect.
    *Small rhinestone earrings.
    *A silver ring with a square green iolite(?) stone on my wedding ring finger.
    *A blue stamp on my right hand from the 9:30 Club, where I saw Elliott Smith last night.
    *A half-concealed smile.


By heather on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 08:35 pm:

    patrick
    the red a




    just don't get all crazy

    or do,

    what do i know


By Daniel ssss on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 10:33 pm:

    on my deck, in the woods, in the dark. Hanes, that's all. No neighbors, and the deer don't care. A big white guy in white underwear in the black night. Stars are out. oh, and a grin.


By Isolde on Friday, October 27, 2000 - 10:54 pm:

    *smile*
    I'm wearing black, still, but a different shirt, it's a little chilly out.


By Pilate on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 12:54 am:

    I'm wearing sweats, tennis shoes and a T-shirt. Nothing exciting. But my kid is wearing go-go boots, black fishnet hose, silver glitter nail polish, vinyl hot pants, fuchsia lipstick, a beaded belly chain and a babydoll tee. Whatever am I going to do with him?


By J on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 01:04 am:

    Put him on the catwalk!!!! He can't be too shy if he goes around like that out there.I've been around drag queens since I was a kid,and some like to look butch when they aren't in drag,some just should have been born a woman.I suspect he falls in the latter.I just think it's cool that he/she can be his/her self,and that you are so good and opened minded.


By Isolde on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 01:43 am:

    Wow, yes, put him on the catwalk, Pilate. He sounds great. I wish I could meet him. He's welcome in Vermont and California anytime, since it looks like I'll officially be spending time in both places. I'm fucking insane. Going back for two months.


By Pilate on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 01:48 am:

    It's kind of weird. The boy wears the most outrageous shit sometimes. When he's in drag he can pass for female. Most of the time, though, he wears masculine clothing. He just gets a wild hair sometimes and puts on totally bizarre outfits. This is all being encouraged by his best friend, a girl who's going to be living with us until Thanksgiving or so. She lends him makeup, wigs and dresses. He also has male clothes that are pretty damn strange, mostly goth stuff. I think that dressing like a total freak is almost a sexual kick for him. He just acts like a regular kid when he's wearing jeans and sweatshirts. But when he squeezes into a rubber skirt and puts on some lipstick he turns into a whole different person. It makes him bolder.....but also giddy, effeminate and distracted. I've discovered that he can't study worth a damn in drag. He's just too caught up in himself. Can't concentrate.

    The bizarre thing about it is that he'll often spend a lot of time getting an outfit together and then never step outside the house. He's too phobic. He really does it for private kicks. About the only time he'll go out dressed like that is if we take him to other towns. Then he'll gleefully get out and scare the hell out of the local citizens. He just doesn't like doing it on his own turf.

    I just wonder what Brendan's going to be like when he hits adulthood. If he ever does. He'll keep getting older physically but I don't know about the emotional factor. Like I've often said, the boy may end up living with me until he's fifty.


By Nate on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 02:29 am:

    i'm wearing plaid cotton lounge pants and a ween t-shirt. A. is wearing plaid cotton lounge pants and a headboard t-shirt.

    i lit a fire in the living room and a fire in my mind.


By Isolde on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 02:30 am:

    Hrm. Interesting. Speaking of children, geek boy and I have spent the last three hours beating N64 games. Jesus. What's wrong with us? It's cool the kid dresses up, I know it may be a little freaky sometimes...but I think it's neat. He's probably got a good fashion sense by now...


By Notwolf on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 02:47 am:

    black classic 1 pocket t ( i have 23 of 'em, no lie. all the same, basically...)

    cut-off cammies
    no socks, HD boots.

    stuck in the grunge years...


By pez on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 02:56 am:

    black velvet v-neck long sleeved shirt, black knit tank top, black satin jeans (so comfortable!), white socks, along with necklace, hoops, blue-faced modernish watch. my hair is tied back in a three-tiered ponytail with two silvery heart cutout clips. earlier i was wearing my "singe" airwalks, mens, black with flames....


By Cat on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 03:04 am:

    A pink sarong with gold embossing. It's hot here. I just got out of the shower and it's the coolest I've felt in days. I don't want to put on clothes.


By Bell_jar on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 08:45 am:

    white t-shirt $4 for a pack of three at walmart.

    over the white t-shirt, a red long-sleeved button down cotton shirt of my grandfathers.

    levis bought at some thrift store. they come just above my ankles, that must be why they were so damn cheap. i see all of the "girls" wearing these type of jeans. i feel trendy or something. i'm pretty well hidden at work though.


    sandals 'cause my feet get hot. it's always hot at work, and i hate for my feet to be hot or cold.


By Isolde on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 10:33 am:

    Black dockers, well worn. Mens. Black tank, my hair's in a ponytail--Annie and I are doing some dancing. Later, I'm going out again with geek boy, so probaby blacks cords and my black silk shirt.


By pez on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 08:02 pm:

    yea, isolde!

    i'm planning to hold a post-halloween party, partly so i can invite keith over. i've only seen him that one time at work since june. i'm trying to goad him into saying that he "wants" me, because he did last year and he's pretty shy.

    who cares about bear-baiting, i'm going boy-baiting.

    currently wearing an old "metropolitan youth symphony" t-shirt, dark blue levi's (i've entioned them before), sport socks and black ballet slippers. i need to change to something that's both nicer and less likely to aquire pet dander. i don't want the kitties to get a whiff of shakespeare.


By Kalli on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 08:53 pm:

    olive green v-neck shirt and brownish plaid mens pants with a drawstring, barefoot..messy hair...cuz i just got back from being lost in new york city and im gonna sit back and relax now. i did however, wear my little red wig out, leather skirt, doc marten loafer shoey-shoes...black tights and once again...waaayy to much fucking jewlery.

    now if only these damn fungi monkeys would kick in...


By Isolde on Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 09:51 pm:

    I'm wearing a long sleeved black shirt, because it's cold and I'm done dancing, and black thick cords. Tasty.


By pez on Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 01:24 am:

    what'll i wear tomorrow? i just keith out for coffee! i'll need to look nice!

    think blue sweater, striped t-shirt, standard jewels (minus watch), two rubberbands, jeans, a pair of my dad's black socks that i've been siping lately.


By Gee on Tuesday, October 31, 2000 - 03:15 pm:

    I want to be Death tonight.

    Death from Vertigo.


By Isolde on Tuesday, October 31, 2000 - 04:12 pm:

    I'm wearing a sari.


By Dougie on Tuesday, October 31, 2000 - 07:02 pm:

    I'm going as an out of work Y2K consultant. I have my "I survived Y2K" shirt on, plus ratty jeans. I don't think anybody will get it, but fuck em if they can't take a joke. I spent hours on my costume.


By Isolde on Tuesday, October 31, 2000 - 07:25 pm:

    Excellent...I'm wearing normal clothing now, I can't hack Halloween this year.


By Dougie on Tuesday, October 31, 2000 - 07:39 pm:

    Not a single fucking kid came to my door yet. Ah well, all the more "fun size" candies for me.


By Isolde on Tuesday, October 31, 2000 - 07:45 pm:

    Yes, indeed. No one came to my door either. I think the people here think have orgies when they're not looking or something, it's very odd. They're starting to shun me. The PO moved me to the back so that the townies wouldn't be afraid to buy stamps. What the fuck? I look perfectly normal, I mean I'm a little short, I dress normally, I don't have any wierd peircings, I don't have a tattoo yet (when I do, it won't be visible). This ALWAYS happens to me. In the airport, I get help up. In the supermarket line, I get glared at. What the fuck, I look normal! What is it about me!


By Dougie on Tuesday, October 31, 2000 - 07:51 pm:

    Gotta remember, it's not you, it's "them."


By Isolde on Tuesday, October 31, 2000 - 07:56 pm:

    That makes me feel so much better. I think if I get stopped in the airport on the way to SF, I'm going to drop kick that little guard guy. I'm so sick of this shit, I'm too old for this crap. What's wrong with people?


By Dougie on Tuesday, October 31, 2000 - 08:04 pm:

    Yeah well, I'm not Oprah. If people don't like you, fuck em. Not worth spending the time dwelling on it.


By Isolde on Tuesday, October 31, 2000 - 08:09 pm:

    Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.


By agatha on Tuesday, October 31, 2000 - 09:37 pm:

    i am dressed like a giant wonder bread. sometimes, it's cool to work at kinko's.


By Isolde on Wednesday, November 1, 2000 - 01:04 am:

    That's excellent...I'm dressed as myself, now.


By pez on Wednesday, November 1, 2000 - 01:08 am:

    2 pm: indigo jeans, green/gray striped shirt, nikes, blue glitter watch.
    4 pm: satin jeans, nikes, plaid shirt, striped shirt, yellow makeup, blue wig.
    5:30 pm: satin jeans, nikes, plaid shirt, striped shirt, traces of yellow makeup.
    6:30 pm: satin jeans, nikes, plaid shirt, traces of yellow makeup, black eyeliner, red lipstick.
    7 pm: satin jeans, nikes, plaid shirt, traces of yellow makeup, black eyeliner, red lipstick, yellow sheet.
    7:30 pm: satin jeans, nikes, plaid shirt, traces of yellow makeup, black eyeliner, red lipstick, yellow sheet, broom, sunglasses.
    10 pm: traces of yellow makeup, black eyeliner, red lipstick, blue "northwest children's theater and school" t-shirt, blue jeans, grey fleece.

    the evolution of halloween.


By Isolde on Wednesday, November 1, 2000 - 01:13 am:

    That sounds like my day.
    However, I'll abbrevite: two seconds ago:
    dark blue oxford shirt which geek boy *loves*, black bra (warners, comfy), black cords, white undies!
    Now:
    black silk camisole, black silk boxers.


By pez on Wednesday, November 1, 2000 - 01:19 am:

    as wigs go, i prefer princess leia to marge simpson. it's all in the comfort.

    for a while i was wearing a sticker (about bumper sticker size, meant for a shoe box) across my chest that said: barney gave me yellow fever. so i ate him.


By Isolde on Wednesday, November 1, 2000 - 01:31 am:

    I had a piece of electrical tape with "Fish tacos ate my brain" written in white on it across my forehead for a while. People thought the first word was "fuck." I took it off.


By pez on Wednesday, November 1, 2000 - 10:41 am:

    sometime i might just do one that says "yummy" across my stomach.

    rumors are flying rampant about the shoe girl with the enourmous blue wig. "see the girl with the blue hair? she wants to hug and kiss you."

    apparently heather (ready-to-wear) has decided that my name needs a go around the block with an electronics person.


By semillama on Wednesday, November 1, 2000 - 12:39 pm:

    I dressed up Saturday night for a big bash in Duluth. I went as Bacchus. The Rain of Frogs fell through when I was unable to locate any small plastic toy frogs for the costume. I was clueless about a costume until about 6 pm, when I saw Mavis' bag o' plastic grapes and inspiration hit. Vicki, Luci's mom who used to sew Renaissance Fair costumes, provided me with two white sheets, sandels, a pewter cup, and made a belt and headband from golden rope. She also gave me an element from her daughter's costume last year, which was Princess Leia in slave get-up. IT was the loincloth, which I slung over my shoulder. I actually looked pretty good.

    The party was excellent, several hundred people all in costume. There was a guy dressed as Buddha, with a yellow robe, a red jewel on his forehead, and covered in gold hairspray. Anothe guy went as a sperm bank donor, with a fake penis sticking out of his fly. Too many others to describe.

    Next year, Mavis and I are going as Princess Slaya and Darth Nader - she dressed up in a Slayer t-shirt, spikes, boots and Princess Leia buns, me in a rumpled grey suit and a Darth Vader mask. We call dibs on this idea.


By Isolde on Wednesday, November 1, 2000 - 12:51 pm:

    I think next year I shall go as a medevil queen.


By Pilate on Wednesday, November 1, 2000 - 01:26 pm:

    My kid dressed up last night as Bettie Page. His friend, Violet, went as Mae West. Outrageous. Earlier in the day, Violet was dressed like Morticia Addams......but then again, she usually is.

    The kiddies get to dress up again tomorrow night.

    The kids are both really into Marilyn Manson. I overheard them talking about how much they wished they could go to the Manson show in Tulsa but couldn't afford it. They didn't know I was listening in on them. The boy said he just didn't feel right asking me for money to go and he didn't know how they were gonna get there anyway. After they went to sleep, my lover got on the phone and scored tickets for them. And one for me, too, since somebody's got to take them there. I got an extra ticket for Crimson just because I wanted some adult company. The kids are excited as hell. The boy's already getting his makeup and wardrobe ready. He'll look more bizarre than anyone on stage, guaranteed.


By Isolde on Wednesday, November 1, 2000 - 02:04 pm:

    Alright! That's really cool, Pilate. You're an admirable man.


By Cat on Wednesday, November 1, 2000 - 02:47 pm:

    Une tres bonne question, Cat. Guess it must've been a busy day at work for everybody.

By Shoe lovers friend on Thursday, November 2, 2000 - 01:55 am:

    The wind is howling up a storm outside, leaves, sticks, small mammals flying by my window, top of this hill leaves me wondering just where the hell I am. Apparently my phone is broken.

    I want to touch the roses, count their petals, hold a small ankle bone in my hand, and leap tall junipers on fire, but it is the wrong season.

    Happy New Year.

    heh. if only i could post more.

    whatever DID happen to everyone?


By Tom on Thursday, November 2, 2000 - 05:08 am:

    I think I count as living in IsoldePezville, lamentably. They don't want me there. Ah, well. alas and alack. I've been working, looking for a job, preparing for the move, falling out of love, falling in love.

    you know. the usual. Trying to finish "Diamond Age" finally.

    You?


By semillama on Thursday, November 2, 2000 - 08:29 am:

    Just pray you never end up in 'llama-land.

    Whenever something significant happens there, the soccer announcer from the olympics yells

    GGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!


By Isolde on Thursday, November 2, 2000 - 12:38 pm:

    Wow. I think I want to visit 'llama land. That sounds terrible exciting. How, exactly, do I reach 'llama land? In Isolde land right now it is hot and gross and sick. You see, I really hate snot rags, because they get all grotty and not fun, but it seems like such a waste of paper to use tissue. Blast it all.
    I was an hour late for work today, too. I have to go back soon. Work is lameness today. I can't play. It was frosty this morning.
    Somewhere, someone is playing bad music.


By pez on Thursday, November 2, 2000 - 03:42 pm:

    ggggggggggggggggggoooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    ggggggggggggggggggggooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    gggggggggggggggggggggggggoooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    yes, i remember that.
    is it stormy in 'llama land?
    if not, i'm in. in about three weeks it'll be melancholy season from lack of light, but if someone asks me if i hate the rain i'll be "oh no, i love the rain, when sylvies not chasing her tail and digging her claws into my leg at the same time or trying to drink from my glass of milk."
    see how real life infects my posts?


By semillama on Thursday, November 2, 2000 - 04:33 pm:

    Soon it will be snowing in 'llama land.

    I hope so anyway. I hate having to wait around for it with everything all gray, brown and dead.


By Isolde on Thursday, November 2, 2000 - 06:21 pm:

    It should snow here soon too. I hate these dreary nasty trees. Want white goodness.


By patrick on Thursday, November 2, 2000 - 06:34 pm:

    i saw a little bit of snow in NYC, flurries, but still god damn cold


By TBone on Thursday, November 2, 2000 - 06:46 pm:

    I wore some dickies (the jumpsuit kinda thing) and smeared myself with drawing charcoal so as to look like a greasy mechanic. Then App and I went to Barnburner. The suit turned out to work really well for my strange style of dancing when techno is going on. I think I broke myself.

    Haven't seen App today. Well, I can see that he's in the dirtyredapartment via his cam, but he was mysteriously absent from Japanese class.


By Isolde on Thursday, November 2, 2000 - 09:10 pm:

    I'm wearing black cords and my Guinness shirt...in my new house!!!!


By Kalliope on Friday, November 3, 2000 - 09:15 am:

    Guinness shirts are neat. I almost bought one once....but then I spent the money on beer instead.

    I'm wearing a grey cotton v-neck outfit I bought when I went to NY. It's comfy..I like it. I just woke up and haven't showered yet..my hair is sticking straight up like some crazy white girl afro. Sappho is clawing my leg.

    I need to go back to bed.

By Pilate on Friday, November 3, 2000 - 10:50 am:

    I'm wearing an oxford shirt, black slacks, black shoes and a tie. I'll be changing into jeans and a T-shirt in a few minutes, though.

    Took the kiddies (and Crimson and Pug) to the Marilyn Manson show last night. The kids went apeshit. They had a great time. And for once, they weren't the only people dressed like total freaks. My boy got tons of compliments on his outfit, which was mostly made of shiny black vinyl. A black and flamingo pink color scheme. Vivid pink eyeshadow too, with deep mauve frosted lipstick and a light dusting of glitter blush. Alarmingly tight vinyl shorts, a vinyl vest and glitter thigh-high hose with seams running up the back. Black sequin garters too, attached to the shorts. Several girls told him he looked hot as hell.....not that he cares too much about girls, but it was a definite ego boost. Brendan gave me a big hug in the parking lot and thanked me again for taking him to the show. Said it meant a lot to him.


By Isolde on Friday, November 3, 2000 - 10:55 am:

    That's really cool, Pilate. What did you think of it? Brendan sounds like some old friends of mine. I think he'd fit right in with them. What did Violet look like?
    Today, I am wearing violet cords, a maroon shirt, black shos (as always), and a black corduroy shirt over the shirt because I'm a little cold. It's unbuttoned, though, so you can see the maroon underneath. Must go get a paycheck so I can deal with the phone bill.


By Pilate on Friday, November 3, 2000 - 11:28 am:

    Violet was wearing a long black velvet dress with red lace insets in the sleeves and bust. Black gloves. Also some long lace-up black boots with silver trim. She had pale white makeup except for the black lipstick. She had a couple of fake piercings. Her hair was teased and streaked with some kind of red highlighter and she wore long red rhinestone earrings that came down to her shoulders. She looked pretty cool.

    The concert wasn't bad. There were three bands. The second warmup band, Union Underground, worked the audience pretty well. I got interested in watching the crowd reacting to Manson (you don't usually see that much worship going on outside of a church service). I was also interested in the Christian protest groups in the parking lot. They were preaching and handing out pamphlets. Those same pamplets ended up littering the parking lot like confetti, ripped up by pissed off Manson fans.


By pez on Friday, November 3, 2000 - 11:29 am:

    frayed jeans, sport socks, mustard t shirt (not one of the cool ones with a picture of some mainstream product a la andy warhol, but mustard colored), purple sweatshirt.

    i'm listening to tangerine speedo, trying to put off an essay i need to write today.

    the cutest boys always look good in drag. i am filled with the overwhelming desire to paint a bunch of male fingenails.


By crimson on Friday, November 3, 2000 - 02:45 pm:

    i'm dressed in heather grey sweats, a t-shirt given to me free by a local politician, & some fuzzy pink slippers. i'm practicing guitar. i've been asked to play a electric set (solo) at this local fundraiser thingie. very short notice. i haven't given my final answer, but i probably will. i'm just getting a few songs together. i really need to go to a studio someplace & plug in. i can't practice full-volume--or at any volume--at home. i want to sound heavy, but not totally distorted. i might wear a deep blue glitter ballroom gown while i play.

    pilate looked good last night. he wore all black clothing. he always looks damn good in black. it matches his hair.


By Apparissus on Friday, November 3, 2000 - 07:31 pm:

    quad cargo pants and my "got root?" t-shirt. Today doesn't seem to be an exciting clothes day.


By Tom on Saturday, November 4, 2000 - 03:52 am:

    *sigh* sadly not. Dirty tan cords, my brand-spankin'-new (and totally punk-rock) boots, yellow "this space for rent" t-shirt, blue button-down.

    In order to weird out my roommate and her boyfriend, I am in full battle regalia: enneagram, magic wand made of toothpicks and skewers, and upon my head: a thingy. it can only be called a thingy, and nothing else. It is made from brightly-painted egg-shell carton bits attached by a purple yarn.


By NZA on Saturday, November 4, 2000 - 04:27 pm:

    Yarra Trail carpenters pants, white socks, slippers, a white shelf bra camisole and Naomi Lange's pink cardi.


By pez on Saturday, November 4, 2000 - 07:50 pm:

    black beatles t-shirt w/autographs, hoops, necklace, holey jeans.

    tonight i'm dying my hair...almost purple!


By Tom on Sunday, November 5, 2000 - 06:28 am:

    a scary magical dancing mask,which is either a witch or a leprechaun. I can't decide. and nothing else.


By Nelly on Sunday, November 5, 2000 - 06:35 pm:

    a sweatshirt from Landsend (overstocks) which is a nice red-blue heather color. Some jeans from Eddie Bauer (outlet mall) that started out as a dark army-surplus color greenish brown, until they had an encounter with some bleach, so then I had to douse the rest of them too and ended up a wheat-color with slight variegations, and which I wear a lot, even to bed, because they're cut just right and don't pinch my waist, and wish i'd gotten 6 of them when i had the chance. Some old, old, favorite socks, green, with an orange and brown coil design that could be snakes or some kind of organic form and which makes me think Australia. Black Naturalizer walking shoes (the black beans)

    Color is important.


By Z on Sunday, November 5, 2000 - 07:24 pm:

    my pjaymas.

    a gap t shirt
    some blue plaid boxers
    socks
    some pj pants from a consignment shop

    crazy hair


By crimson on Sunday, November 5, 2000 - 10:01 pm:

    neon pink t shirt, long black jacket, black pants, combat boots, pink rhinestone bracelet.


By Isolde on Sunday, November 5, 2000 - 10:32 pm:

    Yellow pants and a maroon shirt. It looks really good, actually.


By Sorabji on Sunday, November 5, 2000 - 10:34 pm:

    khaki shorts


By Z on Monday, November 6, 2000 - 02:17 am:

    some kinda long-sleeved sweaterey button shirt thingy. it's warm and comfy.


By pez on Monday, November 6, 2000 - 02:43 am:

    (yes i am wearing clothes in addition to...)

    my hair! it's like i have jewels coming out of my scalp! the color!

    [/enthusiasm]


By Tom on Monday, November 6, 2000 - 04:13 am:

    *laugh*

    feeling staid today. Wearing a Mr. Rogers (or Colin Anderson) style sweater. Thin, tan, and just fuzzy enough to make the average hick wonder about my sexual orientation. I also have these pants, and I don't know what to call them. I swear they're made of denim, but they're so incredibly light, that when I bought them, I thought they were slacks. They're "Anchor Bay" I think, and they aren't quite long enough. All of it comes from the local thrift store.

    I'm also wearing an aura of humility and self-disgust, in the "float" slot, but that's another story altogether. oh. and the enneagram, still.


By Isolde on Monday, November 6, 2000 - 08:34 am:

    Once again, I woke up too late to take a shower. I am wearing my loose black mens dockers, and a bright red teeshirt. Ugh. No want work.


By Pilate on Monday, November 6, 2000 - 10:09 am:

    Gray shorts and a Shaft T-shirt (Richard Roundtree as Shaft, not Samuel L. Jackson). I'll have to change into something better soon, but I'm going to be working out. Crimson's wearing a hooded jacket that makes her look like the Unabomber. Beneath the hooded jacket she's topless. It's enough to make a man turn straight.


By moonit on Monday, November 6, 2000 - 09:38 pm:

    Black bootleg pants, black socks, black long sleeve top and black fine knit top.

    black black day.

    stupid rain on my holiday.


By Isolde on Monday, November 6, 2000 - 09:52 pm:

    Black pajama pants, black pajama shirt. I opened up a new "Sorabji Love Nugget Trading Post" on Yahoo if anywone would like to join me. The name is: "I_Married_You_For_Your_Ramen" I'm hard to miss. Anyhow. Yes. Pajamas. Geek boy was here, we talked about election fears.


By NZA on Monday, November 6, 2000 - 11:15 pm:

    Black shoes, black socks, black crepe trousers, cream turtleneck cotton tops, chocolate brown cardigan (I don't really wear cardis all the time, honest).

    Never mind about the rain Moonit - the sun will come out tomorrow!


By J on Tuesday, November 7, 2000 - 12:19 am:

    God,you all make me feel like a slob,but it rained so much here today,when we were going to the bowling alley there were ducks swimming at the grade school playground,I've lived here a long time and have never seen that...tripping!


By Isolde on Tuesday, November 7, 2000 - 08:44 am:

    Black cords and a dark blue oxford shirt.


By patrick on Tuesday, November 7, 2000 - 12:01 pm:

    white -t
    and a navy thriftstore worn sweater, my FAVORITE sweater on top...

    gray banarepub pants, not quite slacks, not quite duckheads, but have a nifty easy access button fly that makes das weiner sehr tempting....

    low cut black shit kickers

    dork black rimmed glasses and a henry miller grin


By Notwolf on Tuesday, November 7, 2000 - 02:36 pm:

    black t, jeans, and black flannel 10 button over it. only my septum ring (visible).
    i think i'm the only one in town with my nose pierced. that's how they act, anyway.
    and i've got these wacky 'boat shoes' on that were my grandfather's.

    my boot were too wet, so i slipped these on. they're laceless navy & white & are either totally WalMart or totally Punk Rock, i can't figger out which.

    never thot i'd be caught dead in 'em, but i keep thinking a/b that pic of Kurt i saw and he was wearin some like 'em.
    oh well, whatever. nevermind.


By Cat on Tuesday, November 7, 2000 - 03:15 pm:

    Pink sweater-type top, black and pink and green and white floral tight knee-length skirt with a little frill at the bottom. Black stockings, black suede shoes with a little pink rose, black jacket. A gold locket that has the word "amor" engraved on the back and nothing inside.


By crimson on Tuesday, November 7, 2000 - 09:08 pm:

    t-shirt endorsing a local politico, jeans, sneakers, dangling skull earrings. just had to go out & haul around a bunch of musical equipment & didn't want to dress up for the occasion...which is good, since i've now got grease & other stuff all over my shirt. it's been a while since i've had to haul around equipment that heavy.


By Isolde on Tuesday, November 7, 2000 - 09:35 pm:

    Pajamas. The election party rages on at chez Isolde.


By pez on Wednesday, November 8, 2000 - 01:04 am:

    white sport socks w/red seams & hole @ toe. black satin jeans. black & gray stripe t-shirt w/four buttons @ left (my left) shoulder. gray button fleece w/one missing. watch w/blue face, music necklace, silver hoops and purplish hair.

    i found the perfect hat. it's like those vintage "cloche" (bell) hats that women wore in the 20's, 30's. it's black boiled wool w/little balck beads sewn on in groups of three.


By heather on Thursday, November 9, 2000 - 05:29 pm:

    new red hair


By patrick on Thursday, November 9, 2000 - 05:41 pm:

    ooolala....

    what DO you look like heather?


    oh, and Im wearing one off-white loin cloth


    that is all


By Isolde on Thursday, November 9, 2000 - 06:33 pm:

    I'm wearing black cords, again, my Google shirt, and a strap on dildo.


By Pilate on Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 03:32 pm:

    I'm not wearing a strap on dildo. But I'm wearing a T-shirt my kid gave me. I have no idea where he got it. It just says "World's Greatest Dad". Shit, I fucking near had some kind of emotional overload when he gave it to me. I feel like I've been working too much, doing too many other things and not spending enough time with the kid. I don't feel like the world's greatest dad, that's for sure.

    My lover's wearing pajamas right now. I helped him get into them (a somewhat fun exercise in itself). But he's terribly ill and is home from work. I'm out of the house, letting him get some much needed rest. I massaged his hands and feet for a long time because they were cold. I rubbed his back and spent a long time just talking with him and taking care of him. I gave him a bath and tucked him into bed. I'm sick myself and Crimson is really fucking ill. I don't know what she's got, but it's worse than what I've managed to pick up.

    My kid's in a somewhat depressive mood because his best friend, who's been staying with us, is about to leave. Her parents are coming back for her. He doesn't want her to leave. He's trying to be cool about it but I know it's hard on him. He wishes that Violet could stay with us permanently. She's depressed about it too. I wish I knew what to say to them.


By Isolde on Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 08:34 pm:

    That's sad. I'm glad her parents are returning,
    though. I was very worried about it...It's sad
    that she has to go, though.
    I'm not wearing a strap on, either, but I can
    think of an ass I'd like to ram with a cattleprod.


By semillama on Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 08:38 pm:

    Everyone is sick lately.


    Chemical Warfare?

    If you were to guess what I was wearing at any random moment, and you were to say "T-shirt, Jeans, and white socks" 9 out of ten times you would be correct.

    The tenth time I would be in my gorilla suit.


By Pilate on Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 10:38 pm:

    Gorilla suits rock. More people should wear them.

    Well, Violet's gone for real. Her folks picked her up. When it came time for her to leave, she started crying, which got Brendan pretty upset. They hugged each other and then she left. Her parents actually seemed moved by the whole thing and said they'd let her come over more. Brendan was pretty sad about her leaving, but I think he'll be all right.

    Odd thing......while Violet was here, her grades improved. I didn't badger her to study harder. I just hinted to her that while I was teaching Brendan, it would be a good time for her to work on her own homework. Apparently, she did. Her folks asked me what my secret was. I don't have one, I promise.

    Brendan's studies are going better. We're working on vocabulary right now. He likes that. He also told me the other night that he wanted to learn some fancy words he could use as insults. No problem. If he wants to learn better words than "motherfucker" (although that's a pretty good and useful one), I'll do what I can to help him out.


By Cybergirl on Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 11:10 pm:

    Right now, I am wearing white flannel PJs with little blue roses on them. I pray the doorbell doesn't ring.


By TBone on Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 11:39 pm:

    I'm wearing a big grey sweatshirt that says
    "DEFCON" across the front with a smileyface and
    crossbones, an old phone dial, and a floppy disk
    all embroidered on it.

    And my cargos. and my little glasses.


By J on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 01:04 am:

    My mom calls me a sot when I'm like this,I'm wearing a smile.


By pez on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 01:19 am:

    i wish i were wearing earmuffs. i wish i had earmuffs. it gets so fucking cold and windy at school, my ears will probably stay red until april or may. my hat helps, but the wind still attacks my earlobes.

    my bones ache. i have this deadly fear of athritis, it runs in the family. my joints ache in the cold, i can even smell the cold. my mom says that i'm imiagining it but i can. the cold has a specific smell. warmth doesn't very much, it's too hidden, but the cold, that's out in the open. maybe because the trees don't have leaves anymore.


By Isolde on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 08:30 am:

    I'm wearing worn out black dockers, and the
    Guinness shirt. I'm in Florida, and it is warm.


By patrick on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 12:07 pm:

    brown, redyed levis, a tighty white tee with a glow in the dark Stereolab character, with green around the nexk and sleeves...you know the retro 70s design.

    black rimmed you know.....sneaks.....not new sneaks. still havent made it to target yet....but i put some inserts and they feel cushy...

    oh

    and a big cheeky grin



By semillama on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 12:27 pm:

    Pilate, there are great insults in Shakespeare. I bet you could find them on the web somewhere.

    I was wearing a guinness shirt yesterday.


By cyst on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 02:03 pm:

    I'm wearing an I-work-at-a-dot-com-and-I-already-have-a-boyfriend-and-besides-it's-the-day-before-a-holiday outfit.

    borderline dirty blue jeans, borderline dirty fleece sweatshirt, work boots. no makeup. but I'm showered and have a cute haircut.


By patrick on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 02:51 pm:

    are you happy with your dot-com jobbyjob? do you like the rigamorale of that kind of work? are you just saving up some cash to do some more globetrotting? take many pictures these days?


By Pilate on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 03:51 pm:

    Great insults in Shakespeare......yes, indeed. Crimson turned me on to this site. Pretty inspirational.

    http://www.emap.mtu.edu/mdh/Insult.html

    I'm wearing black jeans, black T shirt, black boots. Black goes with everything. No worries about color coordination or any of that shit.


By moonit on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 04:16 pm:

    grey pants, new contact lenses (yippieeee), white tank top and a snakeskin see thru shirt.

    need shoes however.

    going out for lunch with 'drew's pal richard's girlfriend serena.

    did that make sense?


By Cat on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 04:36 pm:

    I wish I was wearing...my brand spanking new silver sequin halter top and silver mini. It's so bloody obvious, I love it.

    I am wearing...blue tailored pants, a short blue jacket and a pink silk shirt. Very dull, but my shoes are cute blue slides with a glass heel.


By cyst on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 04:39 pm:

    I'm kind of enjoying my life now. it's very comfortable.

    I'll be getting some photos back in a couple hours. hope they're good'uns.

    I'll probably also be taking photos in the nevada desert for christmas cards. I'll be getting out of the office for about a month here pretty soon; that'll be nice. I think.


By Tom on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 05:46 pm:

    Wearing: the tan cords of doom, ratty black hoody given me by the head geeks wife, the yellow "this space for rent" shirt, and my old shoes! they're SO very comfortable. but they make my feet sweat lots. My feet have been sweating nonstop for the last two or three weeks. Every day, I wonder whether I've permanently lost another pair of socks. It's getting pretty nasty. WHY, GOD? I haven't had sweaty feet in years. Maybe I've been cursed. Do any of you know any sweaty-foot spells? or, more to the point, non-sweaty-foot spells?

    DAMN, GINA!


By Cybergirl on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 06:22 pm:

    brown tweed blazer, cream turtle neck sweater, black pants, black shoes

    very businesslike, I'm in the office at work


By Isolde on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 07:19 pm:

    Add an axe to that.


By Cybergirl on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 10:12 pm:

    Back at home still working on the computer, still wearing the same outfit. Well, at least I can answer the door safely. Good money day today.


By pez on Thursday, November 23, 2000 - 03:03 am:

    try going barefoot as much as you can. that's what i do.


By Isolde on Thursday, November 23, 2000 - 02:14 pm:

    I've been going barefoot for two days now. It's
    excellent.


By Gee on Thursday, November 23, 2000 - 03:29 pm:

    I'm wearing a tee-shirt:

    "I'm Just One Big Fucking Ray Of Sunshine, Aren't I?"


By Cybergirl on Thursday, November 23, 2000 - 05:28 pm:

    All black. Black sweater, black pants, black socks and black shoes. Only the underwear is pink and white. Oh well.


By crimson on Thursday, November 23, 2000 - 06:02 pm:

    i'm wearing jammies right now. but i'm about to get into some charcoal grey sweats & a jim morrison t-shirt.


By Tom on Friday, November 24, 2000 - 04:39 am:

    different tan cords of doom. Green and white button-down with little dots on it. only they aren't solid dots. At any rate. it's green, and white, and dotted, and everyone who cares how I look hates it, except me. I love the thing. And the grey jacket, because it is cold.

    And the feet continue to sweat. I go barefoot whenever I possibly can, but it's been raining here alot, and I think (for now) that I'd rather have sweaty feet and gross socks than a constant cold.


By Isolde on Friday, November 24, 2000 - 11:21 am:

    I'm wearing a flowered wrap skirt. It's black
    and the flowers are sort of linen-ish in colour,
    which gives me an excuse to wear my
    favourite linen shirt. I feel very Floridan all of a
    sudden.


By Nelly on Friday, November 24, 2000 - 02:28 pm:

    i am wearing the same olive corduruoy pants and brown waffley sweater that I have been wearing for the past 3 days. not wanting to expose my tender flesh to the cold to change and why bother when these have already been sneezed on. the underwear has been changed (i do have standards)


By Hal on Friday, November 24, 2000 - 02:55 pm:

    Green sweater (my favorite,) Green pants, green socks... Notice a trend?


By Pernicious thrasonical nelly on Friday, November 24, 2000 - 03:08 pm:

    Pilate,

    I have the Shakespere words refrigerator magnet kit.

    thou hyperbolical foul-nosed parasite

    thou swaggering whoreson rapscallion

    thou pestiferous sponge-hearted strumpet

    (right out of the box)


    if more authentic constructions are desired, there are
    websites


By Tom on Friday, November 24, 2000 - 07:57 pm:

    whoa. Shakespeare was hyperbolical-enabled?

    Pestiferious. This has been, without a doubt, a pestiferous day. Indeed, Pestiferous enough to make me glum, even if I'm wearing the grey-gift shirt.

    I've been noticing how toned down my work clothes are. Everything I wear on the weekdays is grey, tan, or black, even though there isn't remotely a dress code here. I share my office with a guy who hasn't looked outside since the '80s. He wears these great sleeves-torn-out muscle shirts that don't cover his mid-parts, and the puffy, ankle-grabbing MC hammer pants.

    yeah.


By Cybergirl on Friday, November 24, 2000 - 10:47 pm:

    those damn jammies again with the little blue roses on them
    at least at this hour, i don't have to worry that someone will knock on the door


By moonit on Friday, November 24, 2000 - 11:13 pm:

    nononooooooo not the mc hammer pants.


    I am soon to get ready to go out with some girls. I think I will wear black pants and a black tank top with a blue see-thru shirt and a black jacket and my favourite black boots which really should be thrown out.

    I got new makeup today so I am going to wear that too.


By Cybergirl on Friday, November 24, 2000 - 11:54 pm:

    Have fun!


By Bell_jar on Saturday, November 25, 2000 - 12:20 am:

    the levis i purchased last week at some kind of thrift store, a red t-shirt, and a sweater that my cat got ahold of (it has holes all over the place). i'm so very tired. i want to run away. anyone want to run too?

By Isolde on Saturday, November 25, 2000 - 09:55 am:

    Worn out black pants, very comfortable, and a
    heather grey tank top. It is very hot here, and
    my toe is being attacked.


By Spider on Saturday, November 25, 2000 - 10:25 am:

    *red cotton socks
    *grey knit cotton pants
    *white cotton t-shirt with John Singer Sargent's "Views of Blindfolded Man's Head" on it

    *teddy bear nightshirt
    *my glasses

    have you tried sprinkling powder in your shoes to keep your socks dry?


By agatha on Saturday, November 25, 2000 - 03:22 pm:

    green flowered flannel pajama bottoms, a red and beige plaid shirt, and black fuzzy slippers. can't quite bring myself to get ready for work today.


By Pilate on Sunday, November 26, 2000 - 12:06 pm:

    Gray shorts, hooded navy sweat shirt, white sneakers. I'm about to trade in the shorts for some sweatpants, though. The kiddo and I are going flea marketing with Crimson in a while. Crimson's still sick (and so are the rest of us) but we decided to go ahead and go hit the flea markets this weekend anyway. We had a great time yesterday spreading our germs all over Oklahoma. If you hear anything on the news about some sort of strange epidemic hitting that state, it's probably our fault.


By Cybergirl on Monday, November 27, 2000 - 12:43 am:

    Those damn white flannel PJs with the little blue roses on them. I think I should give them a wash soon. Working again. Another good money day, although I would have prefered to have the day off.


By TBone on Monday, November 27, 2000 - 12:45 am:

    a cheap tshirt that says "I was normal once. I
    didn't like it."

    old plaid boxers that are too small for me

    big, thick, warm socks.

    That is all.


By Cybergirl on Monday, November 27, 2000 - 12:49 am:

    I forgot to say that I have been wearing these PJs since last night when I went to bed. Woke up at 11am, went to the computer, have been working on it ever since. Still have a few more hours of work before I can sign off. I'm beginning to hate these PJs. Good thing no one knocked on the door today.


By pez on Monday, November 27, 2000 - 02:51 am:

    *white sport socks w/red seamed toes
    *black zipper-pocket nylon pants
    *pink tank top
    *pink t-shirt
    *lavender pullover
    *silver hoops
    *necklace

    at work, i accessorized with:
    *a tissue-paper highliter-noonicorn tunic
    or:
    *a masking-tape and pen native-american-style headress

    i was hyper. and i only had a *little* sugar.


By patrick on Monday, November 27, 2000 - 12:16 pm:

    burgundy cords, black tee, bright new white and navy sneaks.....going commando as usual


By Isolde on Monday, November 27, 2000 - 12:33 pm:

    Burgandy cords sound very exciting, where did you get them?


By patrick on Monday, November 27, 2000 - 12:38 pm:

    i think, at one of the vintage/consignment shops here in town, they arent that exciting. actually....

    i'll telk you a secret. Im kinda insecure in them, they are probably a waist size or two too big, so they tend to bunch up, and well they tend to bunch up in the front, exagerrating the package, making it appear almost like aloin cloth in front...and well.......i might as well be wearing a speedo


By Cybergirl on Monday, November 27, 2000 - 01:23 pm:

    you know


By patrick on Monday, November 27, 2000 - 01:59 pm:

    i know i have no idea what you are talking about


By Cybergirl on Monday, November 27, 2000 - 03:12 pm:

    sorry, those damn white flannel PJs with the little blue roses on them

    i just didn't want to say all that again

    hope no one knocks on the door today

    i'll change before i go out to vote this evening


By Gee on Monday, November 27, 2000 - 03:55 pm:

    hey. are you canadian?


By Cybergirl on Monday, November 27, 2000 - 06:45 pm:

    Yup, I'm Canadian.


By Tom on Monday, November 27, 2000 - 09:21 pm:

    I had a sweater on but became too hot.

By cyst on Thursday, November 30, 2000 - 01:26 pm:

    I went to nordstrom to pick up my new little bcbg black leather miniskirt this morning just in case any angry, dirty wto protesters start making things difficult around lunchtime.

    I am turning into the worst kind of conservative.


By agatha on Thursday, November 30, 2000 - 01:38 pm:

    at least you can admit it. sorry to hear about the shit hitting the fan. at least it's over with now.


By cyst on Thursday, November 30, 2000 - 01:42 pm:

    yeah, and I think everything has turned out for the best, really. you know, once that sort of thing starts, there is no way to escape the consequences.

    here's a very funny photo:

    http://www.wvec.com/news/local/mcchicken_head.htm

    black jeans, olive sweater. and at least I still vote democrat and green.


By Trace on Thursday, November 30, 2000 - 01:56 pm:

    Well, at least no one can say that they don't use real chicken

    oh, and mama culture's messing with my head.


By semillama on Thursday, November 30, 2000 - 03:58 pm:

    fuck yeah.

    chicken head.


By Isolde on Thursday, November 30, 2000 - 06:45 pm:

    and you wonder why I'm vegan.


By cyst on Thursday, November 30, 2000 - 07:08 pm:

    the authorities are investigating.

    I only hope that someday I'll find a chicken head in with my mcnuggets. (or chicken wings -- since when does mcdonald's sell chicken wings?)

    I love that photo. and, please, what health hazard? I mean, that thing was COOKED. how bad would it be for a 5-y-o to bite into a deep-fried chicken head?

    I once got a fried cockroach in with my fried bananas, and I didn't even send it back.


By Czarina on Thursday, November 30, 2000 - 07:54 pm:

    They sure did a good job battering that head.
    I wonder what they use,that makes it so aesthetically appealing?


By J on Thursday, November 30, 2000 - 10:46 pm:

    Shake and Beak?


By agatha on Friday, December 1, 2000 - 03:14 am:

    HA!


By Pilate on Wednesday, January 3, 2001 - 02:50 pm:

    I'm wearing bunny slippers. My kid got me a pair of extra-fuzzy adult size bunny slippers, the kind with big bunny ears and pink noses. So I wore them over to Crimson's place. With a suit.


By TBone on Wednesday, January 3, 2001 - 02:56 pm:

    Where does one find bunny slippers?


By Pilate on Wednesday, January 3, 2001 - 03:47 pm:

    I don't know where the kid got 'em. He won't say. I know that Wal-Mart had some bunny slippers for a while (puppy and cow slippers too). I don't know if that's where he got them.

    They're awfully comfy. But silly as hell.


By Pug on Wednesday, January 3, 2001 - 05:04 pm:

    Grey pull-over sweater, white briefs, canvas sneaks, dirty sox and a pair of jeans that I haven't washed in well over a week...(it's laundry day----way overdue)


By TBone on Wednesday, January 3, 2001 - 05:21 pm:

    A pair of pants with somewhere in the area of 12 pockets, almost all containing something. A black DEFCON short-sleeve over a grey long-sleeve. Flannel boxers. A green bowler.


By patrick on Wednesday, January 3, 2001 - 05:34 pm:

    navy cords, navy socks, white tighty tee, navy armani paper thin sweater on top, black rimmed nerd boy glasses

    i know you might say....ARMANI???? patrick???? yes yes yes i know.

    it was gift. i have never set foot in an armani store in my life, and would never offer my money ...but the wife likes buying these kinds of things for me. she got the navy, black and tan shirts.

    they are nice because they are long sleeve and actually almost fit....its hard to find sized medium-long shirts. the sleves almost always are too short, thats why i own stock in plain white tees. italian made clothes tend to favor the long arm thing.


By wisper on Thursday, January 4, 2001 - 01:22 am:

    i'm wearing apathy.

    it goes with everything, you know.


By Cat on Thursday, January 4, 2001 - 01:32 am:

    Bravo Wisper. That's really worth plagiarising. I might do that in needlepoint and put it on my wall.


By patrick on Thursday, January 4, 2001 - 12:17 pm:

    "i wear black on the outside cause black is how i feel on the inside."



    neogothpoop man!

    i swear, im happy i swear


By Antigone on Thursday, January 4, 2001 - 02:45 pm:

    I wore all black yesterday. Black jeans, black SAS loafers, black socks, black leather jacket, black shirt. OK, the shirt had artwork on it that contained every color known to humanity. So sue me.


By Dougie on Thursday, January 4, 2001 - 03:37 pm:

    Brown cords, green sweater, brown leather adidas low-top hiking boots -- they're good snow s


By Pilate on Thursday, January 4, 2001 - 04:06 pm:

    I'm wearing black jeans, a white t shirt and black boots.

    When I left the house earlier this morning my kid was standing in front of the mirror putting on black glitter lipstick. I asked him where he was going and he said he wasn't going anywhere. But added that he's in a band now so he's gotta get the look down. Brendan and his two friends, none of whom can play very much music, have decided to form a band. The kid knows three chords on guitar and his friends both play a little bit of piano. Voila, they're a band.

    I'm glad to see him trying his hand at anything new and challenging. So I told him to start rehearsing and if the band is still around at New Year's next year and able to play anything, I'll pay to take them into the studio for a demo. Now all they've gotta learn to do is play their instruments, whichever instruments that might be.

    They're calling themselves Captain Benteen and the kid has recently been referring to himself as that in the third person ("Captain Benteen suggests that you should lend him a fiver.")


By Pilate on Thursday, January 4, 2001 - 06:30 pm:

    Now I'm wearing a blue t shirt. I spilled some ink on my other shirt and had to run home and change.

    While I was there, I picked the kid's brain a bit more about the whole Captain Benteen thing. I knew that Captain Benteen was a character in a Twilight Zone episode. Benteen was an anti-hero but Brendan felt sorry for the character. When I asked the kid why, I got a pretty trippy answer.

    The story in a nutshell: Captain Benteen set himself up as the governor (dictator) of a colony on a remote, hellish planet with two suns. It was a dismal and uncomfortable place. To give his people hope, he kept telling them that they could go back to Earth someday, that a spaceship would rescue them (the Rapture). Then a spaceship from Earth really DID come to take them home. Benteen, who cared for his people and helped them survive for decades on that planet, was deposed almost instantly in favor of the new Earth "gods". Captain Benteen didn't react well to it. He went insane and ended up staying on his hell of a planet alone. He was meant to be portrayed as a pathetic megalomaniac.

    So my son stands there in the kitchen delivering this amazing sermon on the horrors of being a deposed god. Does a god have power because he was once given some? Do people actually create an "energy form" or entity when they create a god? Where do the deposed gods go? How do men set themselves up as gods and how do they react when they're overthrown? Are we our own gods? Is there a little bit of Captain Benteen in all of us, and if so, is he a demon or a god or a little of both, or just plain human?

    This, from a kid who dropped out of school and has a hard time writing a single paragraph. It pissed me off so much. What I'm saying is that if ANYBODY had done anything with Brendan when he was young he could be at the head of the class. But now he'll never catch up, no matter how hard he tries (and he's trying really damn hard). I want the best for him but the truth is that a college education is likely beyond him (although I'd NEVER say that to his face). He thinks faster than he can possibly write. He has a quick mind but can't keep up with his peers, or even the average fifth grader.

    The adoption will be final soon. Very soon. Brendan wants to change his last name to match my own. I don't even deserve such a blessing. I'm so fucking proud of him in every way.


By Antigone on Friday, January 5, 2001 - 01:53 am:

    He'll catch up.


By Pilate on Friday, January 5, 2001 - 08:13 am:

    I sure hope so.

    I'm afraid I got a bit lengthy and boring with the above post. It's just that the boy says things sometimes that just amaze me. I get the feeling that he's actually got more on the ball than a lot of the kids who stayed in school. You know, the same kids who like to torment him out on the streets because they didn't drop out and are hence so much better than he is.

    While watching Brendan trying to form this little band with his buddies, I recall my own youth and how I'd never have been able to do anything like that. I was so shy and out of touch. I'm overjoyed that he's got his two close friends and that they've got the balls to try starting a band, apparently undaunted by the fact that they can't exactly play anything.

    I'm wearing a pair of gray sweat pants and a dark green t shirt. Crimson is also wearing gray sweats but they're darker. I'm sitting here watching her try to function without caffeine. It's kinda funny.


By Dougie on Friday, January 5, 2001 - 09:22 am:

    I learned on Jeopardy last night where the word "corduroy" comes from -- it's french for Cords (or strings) of the King. (Cordes du roi). Don't mind me, I'm easily amused by those kinds of things.


By J on Friday, January 5, 2001 - 10:06 am:

    Me too,I watch Jeopardy ever night,I got that one right.


By Pug on Friday, January 5, 2001 - 11:14 am:

    Captain Benteen---THE BAND!!!!!!!
    Pilate, that's the funniest damn shit since Trace shat out that engagement ring into your lap!!!!
    (Sorry, folx---private joke)
    Reminds me of my old band days....me & these kids I worked with just up and became a band one day....my guitarist learned to play as we went along (& is now quite brilliant) and I never learned to do much of anything....it was a lot of fun.
    I do have a rehearsal tape around here somewhere....'88 or '89, I think....me on guitar & my guitarist on drums....pounding out an unearthly pile of racket that makes Sonic Youth sound like the Ray Conniff Singers.
    Wearing a pale blue jersey and button fly jeans(reasonably clean this time out).
    Nice pic,btw, back on the other thread, J....


By Pug on Friday, January 5, 2001 - 11:17 am:

    Watching Crimson function sans caffeine IS pretty funny....watching ME do it is just painful & tragic.


By pez on Monday, January 8, 2001 - 05:33 pm:

    fuzzy christmas coat that makes me feel like a polar bear, tight maroon 3/4 sleeve shirt w/a keyhole back, jeans i bought a week and a half ago and my clogs.

    the funny thing is, i got these jeans so recently, and i haven't been eating much...they fit perfectly when i got them, but yesterday i realized that i can pull them off my butt without unbuttoning/unzipping anything...i'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing. baaaaah.


By Gee on Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:45 pm:

    I am wearing Tinkerbell. I think she likes me.

    Ishmael is wearing grey.


    now he knows who I am.


By pez on Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 04:59 pm:

    white bra and panties. black tights. black 40-year-old leotard that is, apparently, translucent. superman t-shirt. gray workout pants (so comfy...almost like pajama pants with pockets). red zip sweater and the flame shoes.

    *shivers*










    PANTIES!!!!!


By Spider on Wednesday, May 30, 2001 - 11:57 am:

    *White linen shirt, button-down, with 3/4 length sleeves. There are bands of linen lace in the middle of the fabric at the waist and about 2" in from the cuff. It's very loose and kind of translucent.

    *White tank top

    *Cotton drawstring pants that are officially "graphite" colored -- kind of inbetween black and brown.

    *Black sandals that have a loop for my big toes and straps that cross across my foot.

    *Pale nail polish

    *My hair is curled and pulled back in a clip with the ends sticking up on top

    *Small yellow rhinestone earrings

    gray banana rep slimster pants. not jeans, not slacks, but linen pants somewhere in between.

    my hair is a wreck

    a macintosh red shortsleeve snap up DKNY shirt the wifey got at a sample sale.

    the shirt and pants work, because the pants are sorta low cut, and the shirt is as well, which display my belt buckle almost perfectly. My belt buckler is very important to me.

    im wearing gray socks and my black low cut, bulbous toe (needing new heels) shit kickers.

    commando as usual. a few sprays of CK Be on the way out the door.


By Spider on Wednesday, May 30, 2001 - 12:42 pm:

    Yeah, I clean up nice.

    What's your belt buckle got on it?


By patrick on Wednesday, May 30, 2001 - 12:49 pm:

    here, draw this out to get the idea:

    its not a solid flat piece its a silver metal oval about 3 3/4" wide and 2"high. inside it is a circle about 2" indiameter. its sorta like the cbs logo minus the "eye" looking thing in the middle. The metal silver is pretty thick. about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.

    its important for this reason. its looks pretty damn cool. also....when my wife and a very good friend of mine, my best man, and highschool buddy were thrift shopping many years ago, they both raped and pilaged thrift stores (he now has a vintage shop in brooklyn, shes as designer, you can imagine the competition upon entering a thrift store 5 years ago with these two clothes whores).

    Anyway, they both spy the buckle, she wants it for me, but he beats her to it. He wears it for a year or two, but its always something i give him shit about, because i wanted it. He gives it to me, shortly before my wedding.

    My belt buckle is important to me.


    the end

    drab khakis from ralph.

    black, slightly shiny bass shoes. slip on with a silver buckle.

    black belt. invisible! because of my shirt.

    new smell. also from ralph. i forget what it's called. something girly... like romance or something.


By J on Wednesday, May 30, 2001 - 02:32 pm:

    I'm still in my pajamas,no shoes and I probably smell like baby spit- up thanks to Milkneck Mullinex. I should get dressed while he's sleeping and pick up this pop stand,but I might not.

By Nate on Wednesday, May 30, 2001 - 07:23 pm:

By Oswald Jr. on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 12:22 am:

    I was wearing a red skirt this morning but change back into male clothes and now I am in my boy friends blue T shirt it is from his church. I have on jeans but, will put on sweats soon. I have blue nail polish with glitter and I have on sox with blue toes. I'm laying in the floor and watching Mexican T.V. I'm geting sleepy I think I mite put on my P.J.s I have some real jammys now they are not dumb looking but kinda cool. Dorian likes them a lot thats a big plus. Never wear Jammys that you would be shamed for your man to see you in. Thats my big fashion tip for the evening.


By dave. on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 12:32 am:

    i've never understood the allure of perfumes. it could be because i've never been alluring and so had no base reference.

    i think they smell bad and taste worse.


By Cat on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 01:50 am:

    Some male colognes make me incredibly slutty hot.


By pez on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 01:55 am:

    hanes white bikini.
    jockey white underwire.
    funky smelling but fairly clean blue jeans (re: washed one week ago).
    "diva smurfette" baby tee.

    earlier this evening, the costume was changed:
    black slacks for blue jeans.
    baby tee inside out.

    had a band concert. probably my last ever.


By moonit on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 05:02 am:

    blue comfy bootleg jeans, black comfy pumas, black socks, black undies and bra, black stretchy shirt, big blue jersey cause its freakin freezin, black onyx ring, silver dolphin bracelet, heart that turns into like a four leaf clover with photos in round my neck. purfume fendi.


    I'm still stuck in that blue and black thing. Altho I have been known to do a bright shirt every so often.

    I hate the word panties.


By Spider on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 09:48 am:

    Blue Doc Marten mary janes

    blue tights

    faded orange (pumpkin/peach-ish) linen A-line miniskirt that I bought second-hand years ago

    blue thin v-neck sweater from banana republic that I also bought second-hand this fall. it's become my favorite shirt. the only bad thing about it is that it's kind of see-through. you can't see my underwear but when I wear my scapular you can see that through the fabric, which is rather unsettling to me, because what if someone saw the scapular and started thinking lustful thoughts? then it would be the case that this religious item inspired baseness, which is kind of tantalizing now that I think about it okay I'm going to stop

    my scapular

    I hate that p-word too. Can't remember what lower underwear I'm wearing, but my bra is this annoying thing that's made of some stiff material, so it pushes me into a weird shape (I'm not pointy by nature) and it feels weird when I move an arm across my chest. It's like I'm wearing a breastplate or something. However, the sweater I'm wearing makes the bra a necessity.

    Hair down and straight and tucked behind my ears. No jewelery except my ring. No perfume. Eyeliner and Philosophy lip stain.


By Nate on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 10:07 am:

    once again, grey jockey boxers.

    hanes cotton socks.

    nike air-pinch-nate's-foot shoes.

    i'm going to run the treadmill this morning.

    so i can run in my underwear.




By Jim aka Pajama on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 11:00 am:

    Nate: can I watch?


By patrick on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 11:21 am:

    spider definitely has a man interest.


    damn


    the word "panties" is absolutely titillating. the phoenetics of the first syllable, minus the T...it just sounds dirty.

    but i suppose boxers or jockeys isnt too sexy either.

    im simple this morning.

    borderline too-tight white hanes tee
    light brown corduroys
    blue generic tennis shoes
    belt with said hoopdee buckle
    no underwear
    navy blue socks
    dork glasses
    a squirt of CK Be


    dave who would be surprised that you dont like perfumes. im sorry your nose is so square. you must not like incense either. the smell of a perfume that is 2/3 faded, mixed with the natural body scent on the back of a womens neck is priceless.





By Nate on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 11:48 am:

    how can you wear cords this time of year patrick? it's going over 100 here today.

    maybe we have your weather.

    muted green/brown vaguely palmtree looking slacker shirt.

    light khakis

    tan socks

    birks.


By Nate on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 11:51 am:

    i did nothing to stop you from watching, jim.

    i can't imagine it's too sexy, though.

    i can squeeze a glassfull out of my jockeys by the time i'm done.

    hm.

    that's not too pleasant.


By patrick on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 11:58 am:

    i only have one pair of shorts nate and even those are bagger skater shorts i wear with fluffy socks and hiking boots. i dunno. ive never really been a shorts kinda of guy. being a skinny ratpole.....i look like i have stork legs with shorts. over a 100 ? fuck nate. Its in the 70s here, MAYBE breaking 82 after noon.

    tomorrow and saturday the highs are supposed to be as much as 25 degrees cooler.


By patrick on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 12:54 pm:

    i always thought you were joking about the Old Spice, you lady killer you.


By dave. on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 01:03 pm:

    incense is ok. especially when there's a dead rodent in the walls.


By Dougie on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 01:05 pm:

    Moi? Hell no, I love Old Spice. I wear it for myself -- I couldn't care less if anybody else likes it or not.


By Nate on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 01:29 pm:

    i wear old spice, too. i think it's loaded with pheremones.

    before i started wearing cologne i'd have women asking me why i smelled so good. all the time. telling me i was driving them crazy.

    "shit, same stuff my dad always wore. old spice"


By Jim aka Pajama on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 01:31 pm:

By Trace on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 05:10 pm:

    I'm blushing Nate, thanks.
    I kinda missed this place.


By Cat on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 05:14 pm:

    It's always just Nate, Nate, Nate with you Trace. Your lust for him is putridly palpable.

    Don't bother saying "Hi" to me. I'm just pouting now.


By Trace on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 05:19 pm:

    I'm sorry Cat. But I doubt you are pouting???
    I know of your "fondness" for me....


By pez on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 05:22 pm:

    hanes white bikini.
    white, black and red jockey underwire.
    same jeans.
    tinkerbell glitter muscle tee.
    light blue thongs.
    sixteenth notes silver pendant.
    three silver bracelets.
    semi-punk two-pronged metal/vinyl belt.

    stop complaining. last week i walked around downtown in jeans in 100+ degree weather in portland. portland never gets this hot, and it's friggin' may.

    right now, it's 87 degrees on my back patio, which faces east and is covered. it's only 2:18 pm.


By Trace on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 05:29 pm:

    Hi Pwz.
    It's 55 degrees here


By J on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 05:34 pm:

    I'm wearing denim shorts and a pink wifebeater and a big smile now that I see Trace is back:)


By Chester on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 05:56 pm:

    Hey. Trace wears Haggar slacks.


By wisper on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 07:05 pm:

    my outfit is something i would wear normaly, but because i'm wearing it at work it becomes ugly, ugly office work clothes.

    wine red (burgundy?) light but warm long sleeve guy's top. My fav. Goes with both "nice" clothes and good old surplus store pants as well. Shows off the boobs. Great under t-shirts during winter. And all this joy bought at WalMart for $5.

    ankle length black satin skirt, with same burgundy colour fabric front panel that is layered under black lace. Hard to describe, but I made it myself ;)

    the usual clunky boots have been replaced in the office by lousy 3 hole docs. My only 'good' shoes. I've had them since '94. Obviously, i never was one of those crazy shoe fetish girls. I own 4 pairs, i think that's still too many.

    and today i have come to work with no glasses. Yes, for the first time in 3 years the people of the cubicles will see the piercing i've been hiding. I had no choice. The piercing and i, we've been in a bit of a fight lately. It gave me a choice- my glasses go, or it goes. The glasses are worn in the day to cover the piercing. The piercing is much too proud for this. It gets irritated. It threatens to grow out. It drove the ultimatum home last night by starting to bleed for no reason. It's such a fucking bitch, but it's finally won. I offer it my congratulations.

    oh yeah, and Old Spice makes me antsy as all hell. YUM


By Nate on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 07:10 pm:

    where is this piercing?


By Cat on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 07:16 pm:

    I have to use the word "panties" when I'm talking dirty. I mean, what else can you say?

    "Take my underwear off with your teeth" sounds kinda flat.

    I hate "pussy". ew. It really makes me feel quite icky.



By wisper on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 07:35 pm:

    it lies between my eyes Nate, where the nose meets the forehead. The nose bridge, as it's called. A very irritated 16g barbell. Was a 14g ring once, but no longer. We do not get along. I hope this offering of peace will calm it, finally. I could find a pic but i'm too damn lazy.


By wisper on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 07:37 pm:

    ...and i have no problem with 'pussy'.
    Stink Wallet, on the other hand, i could do without.


By Nate on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 07:48 pm:

    stink wallet.

    damn.

    my piercing argued with a lot of friendlies. that's an old story.


By patrick on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 08:02 pm:

    oh my thats funny.

    pussy is ok.....cat have you tried taking off the "y" puss or poooo are little more soft and sweet.


By Nate on Thursday, May 31, 2001 - 08:38 pm:

    cat says 'cunt'. she has no need for the word 'pussy'.


By agatha on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 12:08 am:

    i hate both of those words.

    today:
    gray knee length stretch skirt
    short sleeved vneck brown tshirt
    knee-hi red and black striped socks a la
    wicked witch
    short black cowboy boots again

    this man that i work with at the library laughed at me today. i said, "are you laughing at my socks?" and he said, "you don't surprise me anymore, but you still amuse me." i told him that i could live with that. anything to add a little spice to the boring state worker day, for crying out loud.


By agatha on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 12:09 am:

    oh, and:
    welcome back trace and pjboy and petrock! rool!


By moonit on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 02:42 am:

    Blue soft stretchy bootleg jeans, black socks, black pumas (i need them for the print floor - they're just so much more comfy, black undies and bra, grey singlet thing and bright pink furry jersey.

    I dont like cunt either. Pussy is fine.


By Fetidbeaver on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 07:27 am:

    Have you heard of the new douche? It's called SSY and it takes the PU out of pussy.

    Thank You, Thank You, next show at noon.


By Spider on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 09:26 am:

    Navy blue, long-sleeved, empire-waisted, knee-length dress

    Blue stockings

    Same blue shoes as yesterday

    Non-annoying underwear

    Silver hoop earrings

    Scapular

    Happy perfume

    Eyeliner and lip stain, which I also put on my cheeks to make rosy. I highly recommend lip stain (either Philosophy's The Supernaturals or L'Oreal's) for anyone who hates lipstick but wants some color.



By Nate on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 11:03 am:

    not a god damn thing.


By Trace on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 11:43 am:

    HI J & AGATHA!
    TOday, grey slacks, pinstripe dress shirt, black socks and black dress shoes (I need new low quaters)......
    Silver watch (I have a dozen watches, and change them depending on what I am doing and wearing).


By Trace on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 11:45 am:

    Oh yeah, and at least you are comfortable Nate.
    Just stop that or you'll go blind


By heather on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 11:50 am:

    i have one watch and i never ever change it even though it's totally inappropriate for many situations.
    and if it wasn't this watch i wouldn't wear one.



By Trace on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 11:53 am:

    Special watch?


By Nate on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 11:59 am:

    don't worry, i'll stop when i turn japanese.

    now i'm wearing grey jockey boxers and black socks with little tan diamonds.

    now i'm wearing khaki's and a black knit tshirt.

    now i'm wearing black buckled slip-ons.


By Kalliope on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 12:09 pm:

    i was wearing green fatigue pants but i take em off when i sit at my computer.

    so a bright yellow v-neck t-shirt

    and a chain around my ankle.


By patrick on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 12:10 pm:

    if "cunt", "pussy", and "stink wallet" are no good...what do you you use? agatha? Im just curious.


    today im wearing these brown somewhat baggy slacks/pants. somewhat like UPS worker pants, thriftstore variety. white tee, and an unbuttoned brownish gray bowling shirt. tennis shoes. no underwear as usual and black rimmed dork glasses. semi messy hair.


By Kalliope on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 12:17 pm:

    I used to have a web page called "Call It Cunt" and there was a 4 page list of different things we call our coochies.

    My whole point of it though is that every little feminist with her jockey for her white panties clinging real tight gets offended by the word cunt...and my arguement was, that in doing that, you give power to the word as a negative. Use it in positive conotation, take it back as your own..and well..it won't have that same patriarchal meaning.

    Cuntcunnnycccccccunt.

    It rolls.


By patrick on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 12:54 pm:

    you're so sexy


By Pilate on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 01:34 pm:

    I'm wearing my lover's underwear. Long story there. Also khaki pants, black T-shirt, silver wristwatch, socks, sneakers. And a big grin, not completely unrelated to the underwear situation.


By J on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 01:35 pm:

    I've been called alot of names,but if somebody calls me a cunt to my face,jail or not they'd get an ass kicking,and that's a promise.I call mine a wussy.


By agatha on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 02:36 pm:

    i generally use the word "vagina". sometimes i tell cleo to wash her cootchie, but i use the word vagina with her as well. thanks for asking!


By Nate on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 02:40 pm:

    i would never use the word cootchie with a child.

    not a judgement, mind you. just how that word is arranged in my head.

    like twat. that's some people's childhood name. that's a word i didn't learn for a long time.


By patrick on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 02:42 pm:

    vagina is so unsexy though, but i understand with a child in your life.


By Trace on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 02:49 pm:

    OOO I am confused, I thought cleo was her cat


By J on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 02:51 pm:

    No,she's a real cute 7 year old girl,Agatha's and Dave's daughter.


By Trace on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 02:57 pm:

    I remember now, from her blotter or some kind of web page bbs......
    I don't know why but I could have sworn she was a dark calico cat........
    BTW, my daughter is turning 7 Sunday.
    And my wife calls it a hoo hoo (when she is being cute), tinkle spot when she is talking to the girls in a clinical manner (you need to wash your tinkle spot or you need to stop touching your tinkle spot in public or close your legs when your are in a dress, i can see your tinkle spot.


By Kalliope on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 03:51 pm:

    this might spark opinions because i know the production didn't go real well..but Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues makes some really good points about how women view their bodies. How we don't talk about our "vaginas" and how we tend to see them as dirty subjects.

    My mom and I never discussed things like that. Hell, when I started my period at age 16 I was frightened to tell her I did..like that meant I was dirty or something.

    I go through phases with what I call it though. When I'm being cutsey its my coocoo or coochie, I use the word cunt often (although I avoid actually calling someone a cunt--insult to the word), and yet my favvvvvvvvvvorite name..

    via Tom Robbins...

    peachfish.


By Trace on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 03:55 pm:

    I am never heard that one, but I like it...


By Nate on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 04:02 pm:

    Eve Ensler is a sexist craphead.


By Trace on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 04:04 pm:

    Who is eve ensler?


By patrick on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 04:39 pm:

    i agree nate. hey kalliope read this about the vagina monologues. I may have posted this recently....but perhaps you missed it.



    from salon by Camile Paglia



    On to another controversy: Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues, which this column has rejected as a reactionary piece of victim-obsessed paleofeminism. I was delighted to receive a response from one of the leading figures of the sexual revolution, the artist and sexologist Betty Dodson, a foremother of the pro-sex wing of feminism that revived in the 1990s. Dodson agreed with my statement that Ensler is the new Andrea Dworkin: "Eve is the Barbie Doll version of Andrea. It's so very toxic, and no one sees it." She kindly gave permission for me to quote from her review of "The Vagina Monologues," available in full on her Web site.

    Dodson first saw "The Vagina Monologues" as an off-off-off Broadway play in 1996. She had been told that the author and one-woman performer, Eve Ensler, was mentioning Dodson's pioneering sex workshops. But when she attended the play, Dodson heard only "a distorted view" of what she had been doing in her Bodysex Workshop for over 25 years. Ensler called it "The Vagina Workshop." Dodson insists, "Never in my wildest nightmares would I have ever considered using the word 'vagina.'"



    Dodson calls "one of the great sexual tragedies in history" Sigmund Freud's theory "that the clitoris is an infantile source of pleasure and that as a woman matures her sexual sensations are transferred to the vagina." From her practical experience as a counselor, Dodson feels that this theory has kept untold numbers of women from becoming orgasmic. Dodson maintains that the clitoris, with its "8,000 nerve endings," is woman's "primary sex organ."

    After the 1996 performance, Dodson confronted Ensler backstage about never mentioning the word "clitoris." Two years later, Dodson received two complimentary tickets from Ensler for the Ms. Foundation benefit performance of "The Vagina Monologues" at a New York ballroom. Now movie stars were part of the performance. Ensler again mentioned Dodson's name onstage and had also added "clitoris" to the text. But something had gone wrong:


    The format for "The Vagina Monologues" had dramatically changed. The audience was brought to a delirious high during the first half only to be dashed into hopeless despair during the second half. We were plunged down, drowning in a sea filled with the horrors of sexual violence against women.

    So what did I expect with the Ms. crew on board? They have never been able to talk about sex without bringing up rape, abuse, beatings, and genital mutilation. It was déjà vu. In the seventies, Ms. had held up publication of my article "Liberating Masturbation" for more than two years, fearing they'd lose subscriptions. Also it was Ms. who supported Woman Against Pornography in the eighties. The idea that feminists were pushing for the censorship of sexual entertainment forced many of us to feel the need to identify ourselves as pro-sex feminists.

    Now in the nineties they had done it again. "V" no longer stood for vagina. It stood for violence. Sex and violence, never sex and pleasure. Talking about sexual pleasure when there is so much sexual violence against women would be inappropriate, insensitive and politically incorrect. And who is to blame for all the sexual violence against women? According to Ms. and other fundamentalist feminists, it's still the patriarchy.... That night I wondered how men in the audience felt after being nailed as "the enemy." It's my bet that the men attending V-Day were all staunch supporters of equal rights for women. But here they were, faced with the same old male-bashing of the sixties and seventies.

    It's very difficult to criticize V-Day without sounding anti-woman or pro-violence. Dare we ask why so many feminists think women have cornered the market on being victimized by violence? Will we sound too insensitive in mentioning the violence caused by poverty, hunger, and wars that affect women, men and children of both genders? Are we to ignore all the wives who verbally abuse and dominate husbands? Shall we pretend there are no mothers who all too frequently raise a hand to punish their children?


    This past February, Dodson attended the V-Day benefit held at New York's Madison Square Garden, where Ensler's monologues were read by 100 women, including stars like Oprah Winfrey, Jane Fonda, Glenn Close, Claire Danes and Marisa Tomei. There was now "big corporate sponsorship," and the play was being performed "in hundreds of colleges and universities here and abroad." Dodson declares:


    That night at Madison Square Garden I felt violated when I realized "The Vagina Monologues" and V-Day had become a bait and switch operation. The ruse is to get everyone excited about hearing famous women saying the words "vagina," "clitoris," and "cunt," only to bring us down with statistics about rape and the sexual abuse of women ... This powerful venue, Madison Square Garden, sends us home feeling guilty about all the women in Africa, Bosnia and Afghanistan who are being raped, tortured and genitally mutilated. Many leave with the false belief that all the millions raised will actually end sexual violence against women ... ..

    Eve is no longer the disarming young woman delivering her monologues. She has become an evangelical minister shouting and gesturing and admonishing us to demand an end to violence against women, as the crowd roars in agreement. Toward the end of the evening, Eve asked everyone who'd ever been raped to stand up. There was a smattering of women standing where I was sitting. Then she asked for those women who had been beaten to stand. Many more stood up. Finally she asked all those to stand who knew any woman who'd been raped or beaten, which included most of the audience. I refused to stand as an insignificant protest, knowing she would never ask those of us who had never been raped or beaten and who loved having orgasms to stand.

    That's the main problem with V-Day. Women end up celebrating sexual violence and not the creative or regenerative pleasures of erotic love. Ending violence is a worthy cause, and I'm all for it. But consistently equating sex with violence offers no solution.

    women never talk about their vaginas? what the hell is there to talk about?

    It's down there. Cotton and dicks go into it. Hey mom, please pass the salt.

    I've never openly discussed the nature of my genitals within the sisterhood of 'womyn'.
    I've never felt the need to.




    did i say vagina?
    i meant slop-gash.


By Nate on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 06:03 pm:

    "Cotton and dicks go into it"

    thank you.


By wisper on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 06:20 pm:

    erotic, aint i?

    hey, a girl's gotta accessorize


By semillama on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 06:46 pm:

    I just thought of a new euphemism for fucking just now:

    "The Homecoming Parade"


By patrick on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 07:13 pm:

    im willing to pitch in to get sem some.


By Nate on Friday, June 1, 2001 - 08:23 pm:

    get sem some what?


By semillama on Saturday, June 2, 2001 - 12:13 pm:

    Get me some more money, I'm broke.

    Thinking about ditching my long-distance service and selling off some musical equipment I don't use at all. I'd go to this financial advisor my co-worker keeps telling me about but I can't afford the price of the consultation.


By Nate on Saturday, June 2, 2001 - 01:17 pm:

    i can give you financial advice, sem.


By J on Saturday, June 2, 2001 - 03:07 pm:

    I'd take him up on that Sem.


By pez on Saturday, June 2, 2001 - 04:21 pm:

    whooooo....

    the same old jeans.
    white bikini.
    white sports bra.
    men's white t-shirt.
    red hooded zipup sweater.
    jafra "reflections" cologne.

    and i'm not a feminist. jockey does not make good women's undies. i wear hanes because they're comfy.

    sexy=comfy all the way. how can a girl act sexy if she's got a perma-wedgie from fer thong riding up her ass? i can hardly act sexy even when i'm most comfy. maybe because i'm young. dweeeeeeee.


By Nate on Saturday, June 2, 2001 - 06:11 pm:

    i'm wearing tan shorts with bright orange zipper and velcro shit all over. i don't know why. i really like them.

    blue boxers.

    i'm cleaning.

    exciting!


By semillama on Sunday, June 3, 2001 - 05:41 pm:

    my old leather jacket.

    a new short sleeve shirt with buttons I bought from Meijer.

    Gray-green slacks.

    Gray socks.

    Doctor Scholl's shoes.

    Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs.

    I am wearing this ensemble on a sunday afternoon because I just came back from joining a dating service. It is looking like the best option for me to meet ladies right now, and I really like their system, plus they went out of their way to help me, too. More on this as it develops.


By moonit on Sunday, June 3, 2001 - 06:07 pm:

    light yellow pj's with bright yellow ducks.

    its cold..


By dave. on Sunday, June 3, 2001 - 06:53 pm:

    ha hah. you got winter.


By Maggie on Sunday, June 3, 2001 - 07:13 pm:

    Guess stretch black jeans with flare bottoms, belt, Nike runners, Guess jean jacket hip length, orange tie die t-shirt, Gucci watch, gold hoop earings, make-up. Black undershirt, pink bra, dark red hip hugger panties.


By Spider on Monday, June 4, 2001 - 09:29 am:

    White semi-button-down (you know what I'm talking about?) 3/4-length sleeve shirt

    Knee-length skirt that's twirly (i.e., not a-line) that's reddish-pink with pink polka-dots. Cute.

    White shoes that look like Dutch clogs in the toe

    The face is the usual, except with a little white eyeshadow today.

    Hair down.


By Dougie on Monday, June 4, 2001 - 11:41 am:

    Ratty underwear
    "Oh My God They Killed Kenny" t-shirt
    Adidas beach sandals with the little pointy things in the soles.

    I feel like ass today. Sore throat, no energy, alternating between freezing and burning up. Sucks being sick.


By patrick on Monday, June 4, 2001 - 12:36 pm:

    dating service sem?






By moonit on Monday, June 4, 2001 - 04:12 pm:

    yep we got winter. Saw snow yesterday when we drove from the east coast to the west coast to pick the boy up who has injured his feets tramping.

    Last night the moon looked amazing. It had this huge ring around it which apparently means bad weather is coming.

    Today comfy worn light blue bootlegs, black socks, undies and bra, white t-shirt, bright pinkish jersey with tassels off the sleeves (3/4).

    Cute and furry.


By wisper on Monday, June 4, 2001 - 04:30 pm:

    ring around the moon = COLD AS FUCK.

    well, here at least, that's what it means.


By Nate on Monday, June 4, 2001 - 04:44 pm:

    it's the same down there, except the ring spins in the other direction.


By sarah on Monday, June 4, 2001 - 05:24 pm:


    i would like financial advice.


    i'm wearing a necklace i made many years ago with tiny black and silver beads; the pendant is a gorgeous black and white seashell i found. also the sombrero bracelet i scored in austin, bra, black v-neck t-shirt, short grey skirt, black payless mules, purple speckly toenailpolish. i finally can fit back into my size 6 jeans, meaning i can get them on and zipped up - they are fine in the waist but still much too tight in the ass and thighs, which is just no okay with me at all. tomorrow i'm supposed to quit my job and the reality of all of this is just starting to hit, moving sales, packing, shipping, goodbyes, and i'm pissed off about something though i'm not entirely sure what and fuckity fuck fuck it was a weird week.





By agatha on Monday, June 4, 2001 - 08:33 pm:

    sarah! dish immediately!


By sarah on Tuesday, June 5, 2001 - 04:09 am:


    i can't now i've ingested narcotics and will be sleeping momentarily. i'll be wearing my abdominal brace. i cut a little stitch that i found poking out my belly button this morning. creepy. i'll write more tomorrow after i actually go and do the actual quitting part. which i'm not sure how quite to do something like that. i'll wing it, unless someone has some suggestions.

    goodnight. happy drugs.






By agatha on Tuesday, June 5, 2001 - 10:36 am:

    make sure to write a nice letter of resignation thanking them for the opportunity, and give praise to the company where appropriate. good luck.


By Nate on Tuesday, June 5, 2001 - 10:53 am:

    set fire to your desk after taking a big crap on your boss's.


By J on Tuesday, June 5, 2001 - 03:52 pm:

    Put tape on the mouthpieces of the phones,bring some superglue and get creative.


By agatha on Tuesday, June 5, 2001 - 11:52 pm:

    I was being serious. Now I feel like a dork when I read all the other creative ideas. Shit.

    I do everything wrong.


By Nate on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 12:40 am:

    by giving the right answer, you gave us all life.

    thank you agatha.


By moonit on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 03:08 am:

    I cried when I handed in my resignation on Tuesday. Then my boss gave me a hug. And said good on me for going for the opportunity.

    Today I asked her if she wanted me to freelance part time on the one part of the job they actually need me for (about five or so hours a week). She said yes please. So that will pay some bills. Yay.


By Antigone on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 03:50 am:

    Make sure and bill for at least twice the hourly rate you were getting as an employee.


By patrick on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 12:30 pm:

    definitely.


    agatha stop spanking yourself with the newspaper after your posts. don't benchmark by anyone else.

    i got used to feeling stupid a long time ago, its no so bad.


By agatha on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 12:57 pm:

    Have I spanked myself more than once? I must be feeling insecure. It's this damn job I am waiting to hear back about. Bastards.


By patrick on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 01:01 pm:

    you are always self-deprecating about your posts and how you have nothing interesting to say, which i firmly disagree with.


By agatha on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 01:18 pm:

    wow. didn't realize i did that. thanks for pointing that out. i actually am interesting in real life, i would say.

    can you tell my boss is sick today?


By patrick on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 01:41 pm:

    i wasnt being a dick was i?


By agatha on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 01:46 pm:

    not at all. i seem to be having difficulty getting anything done today.


By semillama on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 01:51 pm:

    If you have to ask...

    So, for Patrick's elucidation, dating service. I joined one. Going in Saturday for photos and videos. The way it works is you go through the library of members, pick out the ones you want to meet and fill out some card. Then the service contacts them for you, telling them some one has picked them out. The person then comes in and reviews your profile, looks at your video, and so on, and they can decide whether


By Spider on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 02:29 pm:

    I have difficulty getting anything done every day.


By patrick on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 02:47 pm:

    me too.


    furthermore, why do i have trouble doing business with a a store named "The Pink Zone"?


By agatha on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 02:54 pm:

    that's an awesome store, actually, even though it has a cheesy name. cleo got her ears pierced by a giant dyke named lisa at the pink zone, she used to be an elementary school teacher.


By patrick on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 03:15 pm:

    yeah its sounds neato...but the name sucks.


By semillama on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 05:08 pm:

    My post got clipped. Funny. AH, not important.


By sarah on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 05:09 pm:


    moonit, why did you quit? and why did you cry?




By cyst on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 08:28 pm:

    a friend of mine was told he'd have to come back later to get his ears pierced at the pink zone. I think it's a dumb store. I hate most of the crap on broadway.


By dave. on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 08:40 pm:

    i'm with you on that. dick's and orpheum. that's about it.


By agatha on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 08:44 pm:

    well, that's because lisa the gentle piercer had moved on to more lucrative piercing pastures. she was awesome, i tell you.


By Nate on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 08:56 pm:

    needle, i hope.


By sarah on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 - 09:09 pm:


    pink is my favorite color.



    does anyone know anything about tattoo removal?




By moonit on Thursday, June 7, 2001 - 02:09 am:

    its expensive and painful.

    according to my friend Melis.

    I quit because half the time I didn't get paid, and I was annoyed with the direction the company was heading - the screaming matches between my bosses and the financial controller guy - theres an 'out of the frying pan into the fire thread' that I ramble on in.

    I cried because I've known these people for 10 odd years, and because I enjoyed working there. Although it will make things a bit less 'i need space' with me and the boy. (he worked there too along with my mumma).


By wisper on Thursday, June 7, 2001 - 05:16 pm:

    why not just get the tattoo covered over?
    what the hell is the Pink Zone?
    Cheetos Chrunchy are yummy.
    So is Rufus Wainwright's new cd,
    and so is he.

    Got into a rather intense discussion/confesion session with the s.o. a few days ago. i told him he has an internet problem. He told me i have one too. i told him he spends too much time on certain message boards. He told me i spend too much time on this one. i've never even spoken about this place to another human. i just stared at him and...
    bah, nevermind. I'm sick of thinking of it.
    all is well though, rest assured, i remain in love.

    and what i'm wearing is of no importance.


By patrick on Thursday, June 7, 2001 - 05:48 pm:

    the Pink Zone is a sex/alternative/piercing/tattoo joint in seattle.

    i was just looking at a review of the new Rufus cd, and he is a very attractive man. The fact remains i have a better shot at him that you do there missy.


By wisper on Thursday, June 7, 2001 - 06:37 pm:

    shut the fuck up, you.
    at the show he had on tight red flare pants and a leather vest with nothing underneath. 'Want' rose off the crowd thick as the cigarette smoke. Much like crimson & the delivery man, I thought my gay guy pal was going to have a stroke. It was funny. And ever so painful.
    Zang boy, ZANG


By Tom on Friday, June 8, 2001 - 01:47 am:

    on a wholly (un)related note, I am wearing a orange-purple-brown paisley button-down and very dark green cords.

    The shirt isn't as bad as it sounds. honest.


By Spider on Friday, June 8, 2001 - 08:08 am:

    You know what I'm wearing?

    Light blue cotton pajama bottoms that I sleep in.

    Plain long-sleeved black cotton shirt that I sleep in.

    Old black shoes that I described way up there somewhere.

    No makeup.


    I washed my pajamas last night and wore something else to bed, so they're not skanky. I knew I was going to come to work dang early this morning (7:45!) so I wanted to be comfy today. I'm really tired.


    Tom, are you a new Tom or our old Tom?


By agatha on Friday, June 8, 2001 - 11:19 am:

    currently, i am wearing:
    hideous bright blue nomeansno tshirt (dave's)
    loose black cotton pajama pants with cat hair all over them
    fluffy black slippers
    crap in my eyes

    i called in sick today to take cleo on a tour of the neighborhood school. i'm the worst liar, when i called, this woman patty that i work with was expressing concern for cleo and i said, "she's not really sick, i just have to take her somewhere." doh.


By patrick on Friday, June 8, 2001 - 11:36 am:

    tan cords, a white tee that says "Dallas" ...and it's cursive font spurs a certain flair! Like, itssssssss DALLASSSSSSSS!!!!!! or lets go tooooooo DALLASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

    black socks, and red stripped thong panties.


By crimson on Friday, June 8, 2001 - 12:49 pm:

    i'm wearing my jammies. pink gingham nightshirt, knee-length, w/ a single pocket. the pocket has little pink hearts all over it.

    yeah, it's nearly noon. yeah, i'm still in my jammies. sue me.

    really, i'll get dressed sometime today.


By Nate on Friday, June 8, 2001 - 01:07 pm:

    what the fuck, patrick.

    i'm wearing an aura of anticipation.


By sarah on Friday, June 8, 2001 - 01:19 pm:


    i'm going to spend $100 on a skirt. it has cowgirls on it, who are wearing 10 gallon cowboy hats and riding horses and slinging a lasso. that's what i'm saying.







By patrick on Friday, June 8, 2001 - 01:29 pm:

    you ARE moving to Texas lil lady.


By Pilate on Friday, June 8, 2001 - 01:52 pm:

    I'm wearing a suit and tie. But in about ten minutes I'm going to be wearing a red T shirt, jeans and sneakers instead.

    Clark's brown nubuck shoes
    Brown socks
    Tan Dockers
    Red Flannel Shirt

    Note to self: It's really stupid to wear a flannel shirt in summer.


By crimson on Friday, June 8, 2001 - 02:36 pm:

    jeans. '70s style scoop neck top (orange), hi-top sneakers, mauve undies, pepto-pink strapless bra. opal earrings. a rhinestone ring the size of god. a veritable orgy of neon pastels.

    ye olde surplus pants
    unmatching socks for Costco
    and hatred for the ex.

    i was rudely reminded of his existence today and it upset me so, i went out and bought smokes to compensate. Sad 'cause i really only needed one. In general i'm doing okay with this quitting thing. No really, i am.


By Nelly on Friday, June 8, 2001 - 08:28 pm:

    nobody in the world has a dress like the one i am wearing. that's because i made it. it's a house dress. it's got blue and purple and yellow little flowers on a pink background, a scoop neck and one patch pocket. also wearing underpants and bra with little brown speckles, from when i do the roots. green suede Clarks 3-strip sandals. pink toenail polish. i am in the house.

    and a shitload of antibiotics.

    today i am truly a woman, for i have my first urine infection. A nasty one at that. Nasty enough for me to drive to the hospital at 4am. A stunning end to a stunning week, and the day isn't even over yet.


By moonit on Sunday, June 10, 2001 - 05:10 pm:

    Oh you poor thing.

    I've got duck pj's on and thick red socks.

    It snowed last night and its -1. There isnt very much snow tho, not even enough to cover the grass.

    i miss snow. I really, really miss it.

    grey dress pants, tight black top with silvery flower vines all over, black blouse overtop.

    I look fine today, I think. I have black slacks and a linen, off-white dress shirt with teh sleeves rooled up. Need to do laundry though.


By agatha on Tuesday, June 12, 2001 - 12:19 am:

    wisper, i just watched "office space" last night. it was hilarious.


By moonit on Tuesday, June 12, 2001 - 09:51 pm:

    black tassel jersey thing, grey comfy cotton pants and a kitten wrapped around my arm. The ultimate fashion accessory.

    simple

    generic tennis shoes

    tan socks

    tan cords

    white tee shirt

    black and white striped thongs tickling my tushy.


By Spider on Wednesday, June 13, 2001 - 11:38 am:

    I'm all in blue, and I have a new haircut. It's still black, though.


By semillama on Wednesday, June 13, 2001 - 02:11 pm:

    What does it look like?


By Spider on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 08:22 am:

    It's a little longer than my chin, and the ends turn out. My bangs are short and straight, except right now they're messy.


By semillama on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 10:01 am:

    Sounds pretty cute. No wonder guys are tripping over themselves to be around you.


By Nate on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 11:53 am:

    i have hair that's a little longer than my chin, too, sem. really i do.

    i'm brown today. i'm wearing a long sleeve button up shirt of the type you'd wear a tie with.
    & khakis.

    i'm going to pick someone up at the train station at 6:21pm today.

    i have tomorrow off.



By Spider on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 12:23 pm:

    Nate, I told you we were two peas in a pod. But I bet you're cuter than I am.


By Nate on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 01:05 pm:

    i doubt i am cuter than you. the hair i have that is a little longer than my chin grows from my chin.


By Spider on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 01:38 pm:

    Oh. Well, I have a pimple right next to my nose, so does that make us even?


By Nate on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 01:47 pm:

    my shirt is actualy gray-green. i can't see colors in the morning.


By Spider on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 03:34 pm:

    Because of the light, or because of your eyes? What kind of strange damage do you have?


By Nate on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 03:45 pm:

    i have all sorts of strange damage. i think it might be the light, though.

    not a nostril pimple, is it? god i hate those.



By Spider on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 04:01 pm:

    No, this one is a little thing in the gutter between my nose and cheek. It's barely noticeable, thank goodness. It hurts when I smile, though, and I smile a lot.

    You don't see trailers, do you? (Am I using the right word? Do you know what I mean?)


By Nate on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 04:51 pm:

    tracers? sometimes.


By Nate on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 05:08 pm:

    they are rarely bad anymore. i'm not sure how often i see them because i cannot remember anymore what it was like before. a combination of stress, low sleep and hunger will drop me into a bad state. i've learned to avoid that. as time passes everything becomes milder.

    the tracers are like my vision isn't refreshing in my mind. slow eye. things don't disappear right away after they've moved.

    i think i have some degree of vision distortion at all time. i don't really pay attention to it. it's been over five years since it started. when i think about it, it's definitely there.

    mostly i see a faint mist. like faded television static. movement. i see movement in patterns. the walls of my office. the carpet. patterns reveal their own electricity.

    i see auras around people. more so in people who are talking, especially over periods of time. i see white flames raise off their heads, and blue and gold and green light around their torsos. different people, different intensity and colors.

    i was angry at the universe at first. angry at myself for fucking myself up. depressed. it passed. i'm used to it now.

    it has been a good trade. i'm happy with my choices.

    i hope this is what you were talking about. i babbled about something.


By patrick on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 05:48 pm:

    too much acid?

    i was wondering if you think you might be color blind?

    but this doesnt sound like color blindness.


By wisper on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 06:17 pm:

    i have a friend who sees smoke coming off of everything. Fainter and fainter as the years go by, but still. It's from acid.
    Sounds pretty scary to me, but what nate described sounds lovely.

    i'm wearing a long black skirt with tiny white flowers on it that i picked up at Goodwill, black socks, purple bra, blue undies, black blouse, silver skull neclace (hidden), fake cheese and sweat.
    yum

    i need more hair dye
    the weather is hideous.


By Nate on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 06:22 pm:

    fake cheese?

    it can be lovely, i suppose. i don't mind the aura bits, though they can be distracting.

    the poem about monet declining the operation helped me a lot. strange. it's important to be who you are instead of fretting about what you're not.

    driving at night when really tired sometimes takes a shitload of concentration. that's the only real negative i think. maybe i'm not thinking about negatives.

    too much psychedelia in too short a time, i guess. i know people who have done way more and come out with way less.

    i don't think i'm color blind. i don't have trouble distinguishing colors, though sometimes i have trouble connecting names to colors. i'm probably just stupid.


By patrick on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 06:27 pm:

    im in thriftstore fare today.

    a snazzy new lightblue/white paisley polyester shirt. its the total 60s photographer-dad-with his-twin-lense-reflex-camera look.

    wearing unbuttoned with a white tee, brown thriftstore "work" pants. low cut shit kickers. brown socks.


By Dougie on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 06:55 pm:

    I've been having this weird spasm in my left eyelids for the last month -- they fucking go crazy and I can't stop them. I feel like Herbert Lom's inspector character in Pink Panther. I hope it goes away.


By Nate on Thursday, June 14, 2001 - 07:03 pm:

    that's funny, i just watched 'shot in the dark' the other night.

    at least, part of it.


By Czarina on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 01:50 am:

    Inspector Cleaseu is one of my all time favorite characters.


By cyst on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 01:54 am:

    gym shorts, too-tight t-shirt, zip-up sweatshirt, running shoes.

    last june I wrote this introductory paragraph:

    this is the version for you. I would love to write a thorough treatment of last night, but I don’t have time. and who could I tell? not a single person. I bet even with this – to you, whom I traditionally have been able to and have wanted to tell the most (and I so don’t want that feeling to disappear, I mean even without all that other stuff, just the wanting to tell, that is what is so dear to me about us, and I am terrified not of losing my crush on you, not of your losing your crush on me, not of seeing you or not seeing you here, but of not having anything to say to you, because, while I’m sure I’ll know other smart people and I’ll meet other guys who’ll inspire longing and I’ll have friends who will share my appreciation for rare filet mignon or whatever, there is no one else with whom I share the ambivalence, and it’s so much more poignant (did you once tell me you hated that word?) in you than in me because for me there is no counterlife, the one in which the generic you go around doing whatever and going wherever you want without any regard to others’ (and your own) feelings and attachments and commitments) , I think -- I’ll end up saying nothing at all. it’ll be about me instead of the others so it will be dull. it was one of those nights when no one even came close to saying what they were really thinking (maybe that’s like every night), and not only did I get to closely observe others’ hope and despair, I got all the great spanish food that everyone else was too nervous to eat.

    apparently I was wearing a leather miniskirt:

    “this is so short,” she told me. “how can you wear this?”

    “it is not short,” I told her. “why does everyone say that it’s short? it’s not my fault that the knee-length skirt will just not go away and leave us the fuck alone. leather doesn’t have to follow those rules. if it were short, it would look bad one me, and it does not look bad on me.”

    I don't remember what I wore on june 15, 1999, but this is what I had to say:

    june 15, 1999

    hubert humphrey.

    I'm hungry and want to order cheap ukrainian pizza, but the nice guy from portland I interviewed once who runs the american pizza place is here working on an ad. I'll have to wait until he leaves.

    a couple weeks ago I interviewed an american woman who's working on a coffee-table book about ukraine. she was in the first group of peace corps workers here, back in 1992. she invited me to go on a picnic at the tatar cemetery sunday, and the place was beautiful. high up on a hill, overlooking the dnipro river and an industrial section of the city.

    I brought my friend who just got back from moldova along. she brought her hippie work partner, who sort of looks like nicolas cage and whom I sort of find attractive, and a chick ex-peace corps friend with a texas accent. she had told me to bring "something to munch on," so I brought some of the pepperoni I bought in barcelona. I forgot to make the peace corps/vegetarian connection. duh.

    there we met up with her artist friend yuri, and he invited us back to his place for "some tea." he put on some bob marley and I leafed through his "1,001 nudes" book. when tea was ready, I went into the kitchen and admired the tile work he and his wife had done. they took a bunch of sample tiles that his artist friends had used to experiment with color and lined the kitchen walls with them. this beautiful work was incongruous with the rest of the soviet-era flat but it did brighten up that one room.

    I failed to make another obvious connection. peace corps - vegetarians - hippies - artists - bob marley - tea. yuri completed the picture and started rolling joints. I hadn't gotten stoned since that time I went to eurodisney in february and I'd completely forgotten how much I like to.

    kiev was a fascinating place that night. except yuri's english wasn't good enough for stoned speech, and he and the former peace corps people were all ukrainian-language militants. so conversation would turn from english not to russian but ukrainian, which I found I could hardly understand any of. then I would obnoxiously turn things back to english, and we discussed the fall presidential election and whether rukh party leader chornovil's recent highway death was really an accident.

    on the way home my friend and I tried to remember who the american democratic candidate for president was in 1968. "all I can remember is that he's from minnesota," I said. all he knew was that he was a union supporter and that his father had voted for him. I wanted to look it up at home, but I have no reference books here. I fell into a troubled sleep and awoke soon after at 4 a.m., with the sun already shining bright and hot.

By semillama on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 09:25 am:

    black "khaki" material slacks, grey socks, boxer breifs with subtle striping, a grey and blue short-sleeve button up shirt I got from Meijer. And shoes, too.

    I am trying to upgrade my wardrobe a but, especially now that I have to worry about a dress code and don't want to keep laundrying the same clothes every week.


By Oswald Jr. on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 09:51 am:

    I'm not wearing any pants cause they are in the washer geting clean. I spillt soy sauce on them and I dont know if it will come out. I have on a cool red and black tye dye T shirt thats down past my knees and some boxers that are green paysley. My sox are white.


By Spider on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 10:17 am:

    I'm wearing old black shoes, jeans, a 10-year-old dark green t-shirt involving a picture of Woody Woodpecker's head with a cigar in his mouth and a grimace on his face, and a fairly heavy lime green cotton sweater...because, although it is probably 100 degrees outside, it is 60 degrees inside.


By patrick on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 11:28 am:

    ankle boots

    brown socks

    navy blue cords

    a tight (borderline invasive) v-neck black tee (with tiny holes around the belly button where Isabella has had her feline way)

    not even a chance for underwear. its too fuckin hot and i need another Bavarian nutjob.


By Nate on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 02:19 pm:

    i am butt ass fucking naked.

    and i smell funny.


By pez on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 02:26 pm:

    blue and white striped nightshirt with a dog on front.
    tie front plaid pajama pants.
    gray fleece.
    nearly purple hair.


By DOugie on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 02:28 pm:

    Bavarian nutjob? Please explain...

    Take a shower and that will go away

    Patrick,
    Clean shaven is the only way to go. I cant stand hair hanging off


By semillama on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 02:38 pm:

    I and my Neolithic forefathers thumb our nostrils at you and your Mediterranean hairless nuts.

    as long as there is no hair hanging from your nostrils

    a clean shaved weiner looks disturbing man. trim the fuzz up top with scissors but not shave...a happy trail has to go somewhere...it just cant end.


By Shavedspunk on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 02:53 pm:

    it's not the weiner that is shaved, just the sack.
    the land around it just gets trimmed


By Spider on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 02:54 pm:

    "...a happy trail has to go somewhere...it just cant end."


    That's a cute sentence.


By Nate on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 04:00 pm:

    you're adorable, spider.

    what about the unhappy trail that runs down from your nuts, through the crack of your ass and up the small of your back to bloom across your shoulders?

    what about that patty?


By Spewingspunk on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 04:08 pm:

    um, nate, I dont have any hair that does that....


By Spider on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 04:25 pm:

    Nate, you see auras? Do the colors change per person? (E.g., some days person X has a blue aura, other times person X has a white aura, etc.)


By patrick on Friday, June 15, 2001 - 05:43 pm:

    thats a personal problem nate.


    im pretty darn hair free for a guy my age.



By Nate on Saturday, June 16, 2001 - 04:30 pm:

    i want to say that auras change on a given person, but it's hard to say. i don't see them around everyone, all the time. i can usually see something if i try, but that involves look at someone for awhile with a dazed look on my face.

    which can wierd people out.

    most people have white flames over their heads.


By Antigone on Sunday, June 17, 2001 - 04:17 pm:

    Did I have an aura?


By Spider on Monday, June 18, 2001 - 09:24 am:

    I used to babysit a little girl who could see auras. She never made a big deal out of seeing them, probably because she thought everyone else could too. If you asked her to draw a picture of her family, she would draw a ring of color around each person. I think she told me my aura was light blue.


By Spider on Monday, June 18, 2001 - 09:41 am:

    Oh yeah --

    I'm wearing black sandals, brown/black drawstring pants, a funny polyester shirt from the 1970s that has a cream background / burnt orange grid pattern / light orange sunflowers / and random rows of black dots, my watch, new rings, white eyeshadow with black eyeliner, chipping gold sparkly nail polish (it was applied in the store on a whim last week), and silver hoop earrings.


By Nate on Monday, June 18, 2001 - 10:00 am:

    no, antigone. and i suspected you have no soul, either.

    i'm wearing a royal blue dkny long sleeve button up, light (fabric) black slacks, shiny black buckle shoes.

    offsite meeting today.


By patrick on Monday, June 18, 2001 - 11:37 am:

    im wearing a pillow and gunny sack. flips flops and checkered thongs.


    its wrong to call flips flops thongs. thongs belong up in there, not out on there.


By Nate on Monday, June 18, 2001 - 11:57 am:

    i hate flip flops. plip plap plip plap plip plap.

    what's that? oh, here comes someone wearing flip flops.

    plip plap plip plap.


By semillama on Monday, June 18, 2001 - 12:08 pm:

    My college friend Scott (AKA Death, AKA Metallica) wore nothing but flip-flops for a long time as his footgear. He wore them no matter the weather and you could see him walking through the snow with them on. I think he may have been the Second Coming of Christ, which if I could tell him that, would amuse him greatly.


By J on Monday, June 18, 2001 - 05:05 pm:

    I took an e-mode test once,it said my aura was gold,which really tripped me out considering what an asshole I am. Peach v-neck tee shirt,matching shorts(Body Glove),white cotton bra,grey cotton underpants,peach socks and white Rebocks,princess style,a black hair tie,some perfume called Lucious.My wedding ring on left hand,a tanzenite band on my right.


By JusMiceElf on Monday, June 18, 2001 - 11:25 pm:

    Boxer briefs. Hanes. Black. I'm off to bed soon.

    Reading all this reminded me that my gf, who's off in Cali on vacation, told me she'd been underwear shopping. Mmm. Can't wait to see what she bought.

    Earlier, was carhart shorts, dark green, my ABQ tee shirt, and my fancy sandals. Took the pup for a long walk today, that felt good, but damn hot.

    Oh, Agatha, that reminds me, I never did thank you for mentioning Soba's passing on your blog. Damn, so much has happened since then, and I've hardly been here, let alone posting. Seems all topsy turvy compared to just the beginning of April.


By patrick on Monday, November 18, 2002 - 03:15 pm:

    today im wearing a pair of navy polyester/cotton levis with my converse lowtops (not 'chucks' but 'onestars'), and nico's old black, faded and worn Love & Rockets tee shirt. it smells like her.


    i sleep with her clothes when shes gone.

    i showered last night. washed my hair. its fluffy. when i sleep on washed hair i wake up super fluffy. i havent shaved in days. need blades.

    supper slack is how i look.

    today its faded love and rockets shirt. tomorrow its her faded cure 'head on the door' shirt.


By agatha on Monday, November 18, 2002 - 03:36 pm:

    Loose black cotton pants, navy blue champion sweatshirt, and hiking sneakers with no socks. I look like a hippy today.

    Incidentally, I'm home from work. I did something terrible to my wrist this weekend, and am having a heck of a time typing. Every time I use my right thumb, a stab of pain shoots up my arm. I'm old, and falling apart. Waaah.


By Spider on Monday, November 18, 2002 - 03:50 pm:

    I'm wearing a black cotton long-sleeve t-shirt (plain), a fairly ratty dark red wool sweater (men's, size M), brown corduroy pants, black socks, and black clogs (Danskos). I sorta match.

    My hair is pretty flat today, and my skin has decided to do that weird papery-look thing it does sometimes. I need to drink more water.


By Platypus on Monday, November 18, 2002 - 05:17 pm:

    I'm wearing black, blue, and white plaid pyjama pants and my google shirt.

    I love Danskos. Two of my favourite pairs of shoes are Danskos.


By moonit on Monday, November 18, 2002 - 07:13 pm:

    It is freezing here today. Its like middle of winter weather, rather than summertime.

    I have on a long red jersey, a black vest, black pants and my big stomping clown boots.

    Plus cute girly pigtales


By Hal on Monday, November 18, 2002 - 08:24 pm:

    Thermal Pants my dad gave me, they are green and look cool but the best part about them is the inside. They are lined from top to bottom with fleece, mmm oh so nice...

    Other then that I'm wearing a black under tshirt, and over that a long sleeve tan colored hemp shirt.

    I don't really get cold ever, I just felt like being super warm today.


By Nate on Monday, November 18, 2002 - 09:15 pm:

    black ween t-shirt, light brown pants pants, grey heeled socks.


By Dougie on Monday, November 18, 2002 - 10:46 pm:

    Dockers cargo pants (I'm still finding pockets in these fuckers) and a non-descript black button down shirt, and these new Dockers brown dress shoes that hurt like hell.


By Nate on Monday, November 18, 2002 - 10:46 pm:

    the dockers professional.


By Lapis on Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - 02:51 am:

    Wearing now: blue striped pullover sweater, white buttondown, black satin jeans, shiny black oxfords. Plus the mandatory rhinestone cat collar and chain on my left wrist.

    Gonna change in a couple minutes. Button fly jeans and a "Diva Smurfette" tshirt. Time to write.


By Czarina on Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - 04:48 am:

    Black panties and and a Lakers T-shirt.I just woke up.


By Platypus on Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - 10:17 am:

    midget cut khakis and a pink button up shirt, for frivolity. soon I will add a pair of black classic Dansko clogs.

    I need to do laundry.


By Spider on Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - 10:56 am:

    I'm wearing a really nice new sweater -- it's a mottle dark grey/black color, and made of pressed lambswool that's almost felt-like in texture. It's also a man's sweater. I like men's sweaters because they're longer than women's and cover my ass.

    Under that I have a black camisole.

    Black wool dress pants (very lightweight) whose cut of leg I really like.

    Black socks.

    Black Danskos.


By Spider on Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - 10:58 am:

    I need to work on my comma placement.


By patrick on Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - 11:27 am:

    a new white tee, still bleached white. a new line of tees from Hanes with printed on tags, rather than sewn on tags.

    navy pants. unknown fabric. thriftstore chic. black OneStars. thick, heavy duty grey socks.




    and a scarf made of loneliness.





    punch me at will.









By Spider on Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - 11:32 am:

    I just bought a blue long-sleeved t-shirt with the label printed on the fabric. It must be a new trend.


By kazoo on Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - 11:39 am:

    barefeet, darkblue bootcut jeans, sweater with horizontal stripes of many pretty colors.


By moonit on Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - 02:53 pm:

    Grey cords, blue stripey top, black vest

    its still cold


By Ophelia on Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - 03:31 pm:

    dark blue mens jeans

    green fleece

    gray t-shirt from marching band: on the front it says "FLUTES & PICCS '99" and on the back is a picture of a smiling stick figure in a shako with a flute kicking the ass of a frowning stick figure in a shako with a trumpet, and says "HOW FLUTES AND PICCS GET THEIR KICKS"

    purple wool socks

    birkenstocks


By Lapis on Tuesday, November 19, 2002 - 04:49 pm:

    NICE.

    Oatmeal colored t-shirt: Audubon Society of Portland Birdathon 2001 with a loon on it.

    Red zip-front hooded sweater with YOU and heart w/wings buttons.

    Button-fly flares.

    Navy Cons with the tops rolled down.


By Spider on Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 08:43 am:

    * new sweater (women's): Here is a picture of it. It looks sort of greyish in the picture, but it's actually a really nice pale green color. I really like the color, and if it's too light for me and makes me look pasty, so be it.

    * greyish-browinish-purplish corduroys

    * white socks with periwinkle trim around the ankle and a little puffball on the heel

    * black Simple mary-jane-type shoes. Perhaps the very same shoes that I wore when I made the posts way up at the top of this thread -- they're just about worn out, and I can't bear to get rid of them since the style is no longer produced.


By kazoo on Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 08:48 am:

    pink/yellow/green/white/red striped socks

    express hip-hugging jeans, boot-cut

    black sleeveless shirt under a black hooded zip-up cardigan

    Thanks, Kazoo. Adorable is the look I'm going for. ;)


By I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WEARING on Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 11:30 am:

    This is not to scare you, but to make you aware. This was passed on by a policewoman who travels all over the US and gives seminars and techniques for business women.

    HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR: When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or
    actually a 2-way mirror? (I.e., they can see you, but you can't see them.) There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it.

    So, how do we determine any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at? Just conduct this simple test: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and IF there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, FOR IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR! So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do, and it might save you from getting visually raped!"

    hell if you;re on stage you might as well perform.




    im wearing jeans, a wife beater and a black short sleeve mille nico 'camp shirt'. the shirt is being worn open. black one stars, black socks.

    its going to be 85 degrees here.


By semillama on Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 12:08 pm:

    BULLSHIT!!! I CALL BULLSHIT!!! HA HA!!

    from snopes.com:

    On a first-surface mirror, anything you put up against it will touch its reflection because the reflective part of mirror is laid in right at the surface. On a second-surface mirror, touching it will result in gap between object and reflection because a layer of clear glass has been incorporated over the reflective part of the mirror to better protect it.

    First-surface looking glasses are more expensive than second-surface ones, so you won't encounter as many in your travels as you will those of the cheaper variety. They're used in fine optical instruments where a protective layer of glass would interfere with the path of light or where an extra degree of precision is called for.

    There may be peeping Toms out there, but this test isn't going to catch any of them. At its best, it's useless; at its worst, it's going to get someone arrested for property damage resulting from tossing a chair through a perfectly normal mirror.


By Czarina on Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 12:29 pm:

    I throw a chair through a 2-way mirror so I wouldn't have to look at Michael Jackson naked.


By trace on Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 02:07 pm:

    "At its best, it's useless"

    most two way glass is normal glass with a reflective veneer over it, IE the "mirror shades" highway patrolmen are reputed to wear.
    However, the cheap mirrors are also like that, so you do make a point about property damage.


By semillama on Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 02:52 pm:

    Yes, but the cheap mirrors you find in places such as rest stops are type two mirrors. I've seen it from broken mirro glass in rest stops and public restrooms, and also just finding it in excavations.

    I would think a much more effective test would be to rap on the mirror to see if it sounds like you are rapping on a window.


By trace on Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 02:54 pm:

    Yes, that would make more sense.

    I like Patrick's idea and just dance for them...


By Spider on Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 03:08 pm:

    Enough of this tedious bantering. So, what are you wearing?


By trace on Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 03:10 pm:

    I like bantering...

    black slacks
    blue pin strip shirt
    grey socks
    black shoes


By wisper on Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 04:32 pm:

    camo pants
    longsleeve green army thermal underwear shirt (comfy! warm!)
    faded ancient nirvana shirt with a spiral map of hell on the front and "satan worshippin' mother fucker" on the back.
    i must preserve this shirt. For the future.

    it's so warm out. like spring.


By trace on Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 04:33 pm:

    i like your shirt.


By agatha on Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 07:02 pm:

    black cotton vneck sweater. gray men's pants. stupid braces on each arm. hiking sneakers.


By Platypus on Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 12:37 am:

    sage and cream checked linen pants, a sage coloured shirt that says "Crush 2001" on the front, and on the back, "Stags' Leap: Making the Leap Since...circa 1893"


By Lapis on Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 02:42 am:

    Braces? Do you have carpal tunnel?

    White long-sleeve buttondown, black satin jeans, black belt (No belt normally, but the top button came off and the safety pin I use to hold them close doesn't always do the job) and black docs.

    Work clothes. Which I wouldn't mind wearing except for the fact that they're my work clothes.


By semillama on Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 08:50 am:

    gray khaki slacks, loose cream long sleeve button up collared shirt, tan socks, Dr. Scholl's shoes. Black belt.

    four stainless steel earrings, but I always wear those.


By kazoo on Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 08:54 am:

    barefeet, darkblue bootcut jeans (same ones from two days ago), black bra, blue towel on my head

By kazoo on Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 09:20 am:

    add a blue zipup hooded sweatshirt, greyishgreen shirt, blue socks


By Spider on Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 09:33 am:

    I have the same black light wook pants on as I did a few days ago, same Danskos, different black socks, a white cotton long-sleeved shirt (a little nicer than a t-shirt), and another dark red men's sweater (this one's lambswool and in good condition).

    I really like the red/white/black combination. (Those were sacred colors to the Celts, did you know?) I think I like red/white/grey better.

    I'm also wearing a thin beaten silver w/ tiny sapphires ring ($12) on my left ring finger, and a thicker, good quality silver ring on my right ring finger that has "VIRTUTEM FORMA DECORAT" inscribed on it. Picture.


By Platypus on Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 10:04 am:

    Brown corduroys with the bottoms cut off so I don't have to roll them up and look like a geek. Salmon coloured undies, because I felt like being goofy. Black Wacoal bra (they are the best!), olive coloured shirt. I haven't decided on shoes for today yet. I'm wavering between black danskos (probably my final choice), or my nifty little red shoes.

    Four captive bead rings (ears) one stud (left ear) one more captive bead ring (lip)

    A wierd little ring I've had forever and ever with a little blue stone in it, and my grandfather's Rolex.


By patrick on Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 11:11 am:

    navy pants...black converse, black socks, one old school christian death tee shirt (sex drugs & jesus christ cover).

    its amazing here, weather wise. we have a high pressure santa ana condition, which essentially warms everything, makes the place feel like a desert, clears the sky to no end, creates wispy cloud effects....its so fuckin strange but its oddly beautiful. hardly typical november weather though.


By Lapis on Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 01:33 pm:

    "Craw dudes" teeshirt, buttonfly jeans, shuffle blue slippers, the collar and chain (re: permanent jewelry: the only way the chain can be removed is with an assistant and a chain tool, so there's a permanent bracelet there) and music necklace.


By wisper on Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 01:51 pm:

    pride.
    i'm wearing pride.

    and more camo pants, but never mind that.

    i hadn't done any artwork in months, so the boy demanded a finished piece by the end of the day, because he knows i love to paint for him. So i whipped this baby off in like, 4 hours. With very little planning. And it turned out.


    if the stupid link doesn't work:

    it's bigger than the scanner, so that image is cut off.

    I'm gonna make it afterall.

By wisper on Thursday, November 21, 2002 - 03:10 pm:

    oh, you.


By Spider on Friday, November 22, 2002 - 08:37 am:

    I'm wearing these new shoes -- clogs, but not Dansko clogs. Wooden clogs. They're very difficult to walk in because the bottoms are not flat but curved up at the toe and heel, so I have to sort of rock on them as I take a step. They're loud on pavement, too. But they're cute and comfortable, so I'm not unhappy.

    I'm also wearing jeans, a lime-green shirt, and a bright red zip-up cardigan that's too big for me.


By kazoo on Friday, November 22, 2002 - 08:49 am:

    barefeet, lightbluefaded flare jeans that are falling off my bottom, turquoise Jude Law teeshirt, same blue sweatshirt as before, black rimmed glasses, wet hair


By kazoo on Friday, November 22, 2002 - 08:52 am:

    p.s. wisper I liked your picture.


By Spider on Friday, November 22, 2002 - 11:39 am:

    Kazoo, if I'm ever fortunate enough to meet you, you have to promise to wear that Jude Law t-shirt on that day. It must be such a funny site to see.


By wisper on Friday, November 22, 2002 - 12:32 pm:

    please tell me of this Jude Law shirt.
    what does it look like?


    p.s. thank you. he flies!


By kazoo on Friday, November 22, 2002 - 12:52 pm:

    My friend Shannon made it for me. It's turquoise with a picture of him looking away from the camera. He looks rather gay. He's wearing a turquoise shirt unbuttoned halfway down, exposing his manly chest.


By Spider on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 10:05 am:

    I'm wearing:

    * a plain navy blue cotton long-sleeved shirt
    * light blue soft cotton chino-type pants
    * tan sandals (it's supposed to be 80+ degrees today)

    Remember that extra 20 lbs. I found I had gained in the fall? All gone, as of this morning. Yay! Now, I have to lose the original extra 20 lbs. Then I'll be sizzling hot. ;)



By eri on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 10:25 am:

    I am using my extra 20 lbs to my advantage today. I am finally doing something that I have wanted to do for years but never could cuz I didn't weigh enough. I am going to donate blood! Crazy I guess that I have wanted to do this, but I know sooooo many people who have needed blood transfusions to survive (Micki being one of them) and I wanted to give back but couldn't. Today I will.

    We don't have any water right now. I don't know why, but we don't. So I am sitting around in my baby doll nightie and a thong. The fabric is see thru, so here's hoping no one is looking in our windows.


By semillama on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 10:36 am:

    You just said that to torment spunky at work.


By eri on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 10:40 am:

    No, he knows we don't have water and he saw me in my nightie already. It isn't an object of torment when it is something that is so common.

    My morning hair looks good this morning. I have the whole Bride of Frankenstein thing going on. I feel sexy.


By eri on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 00:39 pm:

    They won't let me donate. I have to have a babysitter for Micki and by 11 am they are already done taking their new clients for the day. Damnit.


By sarah on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 01:07 pm:


    spider, congrats on losing the 20 lbs!! did low-carb do it for you?



    i can't donate blood either. too low blood pressure and bradycardia.



By patrick on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 01:33 pm:

    im wearing these gap jeans that i got with a gift card this past xmas. they are actually really great jeans. i wear them all the time and the fact that i got them off the sale rack for $19 was even better (reg price $49, um yeah, right)

    im wearing CK boxers, a wife beater underneath a thin standard white button up short sleeve shirt.

    im wearing my shitkickers with holes in the bottoms.


By eri on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 02:05 pm:

    I found a babysitter for Micki tomorrow so if I go really early, then I may have a chance of being able to donate. Once I get started, it will be easier cuz it won't take as long and finding a babysitter will be easier. That is assuming they don't give me shit about my out of state ID.

    I am now wearing navy blue sweat pants and a heather grey tank top, barefoot, dirty feet.


By Spider on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 02:34 pm:

    Yep, I lost the weight with the low-carb eating. I would have lost more, but I cheated all throughout March.

    I can't give blood because of tachycardia. I'm fine now, but the needles make me nervous, hence, a heartbeat of 140+ bpm.

    It sucks, because I have O+ blood and could help a lot of people, if I weren't such a weenie.


By sarah on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 03:52 pm:


    did you increase your exercise at all? how hard was/is it for you not to eat sugar and starchy foods?


    i need to know more!




By Spider on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 04:03 pm:

    Well, I had exercised a bit more when I first started (uhhh...back in January), but then I totally slacked off. I ate whatever I wanted for a week or two in March.

    I'm still slacking off exercise-wise, but just by watching my carb intake (meaning, I would allow myself a tiny amount of chocolate or fruit as long as my daily carb total was around 20 grams), I lost 7 pounds since April 1. I wasn't all that strict, either, so if I went a little over 20, I didn't care. And actually, one day last week, I ate an entire Godiva milk chocolate bar.

    I plan on joining my aerobics class in earnest on Monday (it meets 3x a week), and I'll see if that speeds up the weight loss any further. Technically, I don't care what I weigh, as long as I can fit into size 8 pants. Based on what I weighed when I was 16 and a size 10, I probably have to lose about 15 more lbs to get to size 8. I'm at 156 and a size 12 now.


By Spider on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 04:07 pm:

    Oh, how hard was it to avoid starches/sugars?

    Well, at first, I was hard-core no sugar, no starch. I went through that moment of Zen for a couple weeks, and then I totally weakened. It was extremely hard for me to control myself. I was miserable.

    But like I said, now I allow myself to have a small amount of forbidden foods, and that helps stave off cravings. Last night, I had a tuna fish sandwich on one piece of bread (10 g carbs). With that chocolate bar, though, I learned something -- I cannot moderate my chocolate intake. I just can't. If I have one bite, I have to have the whole thing. So when I crave sugar, I should stick to fruit (berries are my favorite *and* they're the lowest in carbs of all fruit -- perfect!).


By sarah on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 04:11 pm:


    well, good for you! i think it's totally reasonable and healthy for you to indulge every once in a while as long as the rest of the time you're taking care of yourself and watching your carb intake. everything in moderation*.

    i bet you feel great.





    * i've NEVER been able to practice moderation in any regard, but i think hard about it, and that must count for something.




By Spider on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 04:22 pm:

    I'm pretty bad at moderation, too -- in all things in my life. I'm REALLY self-indulgent.

    I'm just fed up with going into a store and not being able to buy the clothes I want because I know they'll look silly on me. That's my motivation.

    One day, I will wear something delicate and pull it off -- this is my vow.


By Spider on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 04:23 pm:

    I mean, "pull it off" as in "pull off the look" and not look like a goofball.


By Antigone on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 04:31 pm:

    Rhiannon, hon, is Spring getting to you? :)


By Spider on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 04:39 pm:

    Why, yes.

    Plus, I usually feel like this at this time of the month.







By sarah on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 04:41 pm:


    well, if it makes you feel any better, at 145 and a size 6 i *still* can't wear anything delicate and pull it off. especially cute, delicate little sleeveless dresses... those are the worst on me. my biceps, shoulders, and triceps are huge and bulge out in contrast, and i look like a fucking freak.


    also, i want to kill anybody who actually can take one bite of a chocolate bar and leave the rest for later. that's just NOT RIGHT. i say, if you're gonna go for it, just go for it. damn.




By patrick on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 05:30 pm:

    chocolate is so damn over rated.







    spring has hit my house too spider but that kinda scares me right now.


By Lapis on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 09:38 pm:

    I'm not going to get into the weight loss conversation, don't even try.

    I'm wearing:
    (1) Bright blue 3/4 sleeve cardigan
    (1) Tinker Bell V-neck sleeveless Tee
    (1) Blue bra
    (1) Pair indigo button-fly jeans
    (1) Pair white sport socks, grey heel and toe , red seams
    (1) Pair white bikini undies
    (1) Bike chain on left wrist
    (1) Pair small silvery hoop earrings
    (1) Silvery "Diva" necklace
    (2) Blue glitter butterfly barettes
    (2) Purple glitter butterfly barettes

    I had my navy hi-tops on earlier but Iwas organizing my music and my feet fell asleep so they're off now.


By kazoo on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 00:06 pm:

    I am wearing:

    striped pants from express part II (a little more subdued than the ones I mentioned on another thread), a strong bad teeshirt, a black bra, and a type of underwear I've never worn before that is driving me crazy....argh!!!


By Nate on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 00:45 pm:

    thong th thong thong thong


By patrick on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 00:45 pm:

    nico was an express whore for a while because she had a charge card there which could be used at Victoria Secret and that psuedo euro trash mens store Structure. When we were shitty ass broke it was good to have this account to buy underwear, socks and tee shirts.

    anyway, she had some pants from express that were indeed total ass candy....agreed.

    is strong bad a cartoon outside of that site that sem posted or were you so thrilled with that site you had to order kazoo?




    today, im wearing brown gap cords. commando. black socks. black shit kickers. wife beater and a grey mille nico sweater atop.

    it was one of those mornings where i forgot to put on deodorant and the sweater was probably a bit prudent today but i was rushed and im not sure they will appreciate the wife beater in the office so im kinda fucked.


By eri on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 00:48 pm:

    I am wearing cut off sweat pants (black) and a tank top (white with black, pink, yellow dots and green flowers from Dillards) white lace bra and white thong th thong thong thong underwear.

    The only thongs I will wear now are cotton, cuz you don't feel it when they crawl up your ass!!!!!


By sarah on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 01:06 pm:


    oh is *that* the trick to thongs? fuck, i wish someone would have told me that a long time ago.




By eri on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 02:34 pm:

    I actually find the cotton ones comfy but all of the others feel like they are climbing up my ass all of the time, so I never wear those. I only buy 100% cotton ones now. Silly, but works.


By patrick on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 02:46 pm:

    mmmmm ass riding


By dingo on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 02:54 pm:

    You are tormenting me!


By Lapis on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 03:06 pm:

    I have days of the week thongs that I never wear anymore, but they're cute.


By kazoo on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 05:28 pm:

    I loves me strong bad. And I'm glad I got the tee-shirt because it fits real nice and looks good with the pants. I'm hooked on that site and I am getting all of my friends into it here so they catch all my stupid references.

    Update: blue and white and blue and green and black striped bikini undies, blue sketchers, white socks. Express makes my favorite panties too, so comfy and they are same for same price with the ones I buy from victoria's secret (5/$19.50)

    Don't listen to a word eri says, cotton thongs are just as irritating...I only put it on because it was coming off within a few hours anyway and that is all I am going to say about that.



By patrick on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 05:49 pm:

    oh snap.

    sem's in town!


    hootie tootie.





By Nate on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 08:30 pm:

    "oh snap"


    hm.


    someone works in the gay porn industry.


By Nate on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 08:33 pm:

    and pez, you should mail me your days of the week thongs.

    i'll wear them all and send you a 'days of nate's ass' photo collage.

    hm.

    perhaps that is stepping over some sort of line.


By Lapis on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 08:47 pm:

    Ummmmm... I think I dug my own grave there.

    Thongs aren't that bad. Sure, they ride up the ass (therefore nessitating tights when underneath leotards) but once they do they stay there. No movement of ass-fabric. They can be a pain while wearing jeans, you get pocket marks on yer cheeks....

    One mysterious boy once said to me "I'm so glad you're not wearing a thong." I don't know why. I haven't worn once since then, but I haven't been wearing them for a while before that either.


By wisper on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 08:50 pm:

    i'm wearing black pants from goodwill. The kind that skater kids are prone to wear, cut really huge in the leg so your whole shoe gets covered by them and you look like Astro Boy? And they have realy long back pockets, usualy with white stitching? The large legs at the bottom make me look soooo skinny, and makes the ass look smmmokin'.
    I'm also wearing a black Jerry Springer t-shirt. I know you're jealous.

    It has the classic blue logo (from when it was still a watchable show) and says "everybodys talkin' Jerry Springer!"



By wisper on Friday, April 18, 2003 - 01:27 am:

    ...fot the love of god Lapis, SEND THE MAN YOUR UNDIES


By patrick on Friday, April 18, 2003 - 02:07 pm:

    i think, during nate's hiatus he should develop a daily tear off calendar of his in various predicaments. he's got vast land available to him. should be no sweat. one day his ass on a stump. the next day, his ass in a fern patch and so on.

    utilize agatha's printing skillz and voila, we have a sorabji, 2004, daily calendar, 365 images of nate's ass, perhaps satiating the ass fixation around here once and for all.













    i hope that doesnt sound really gay.






By eri on Friday, April 18, 2003 - 02:21 pm:

    Patrick that sounds hillarious, but it probably would take a while to get that many pictures of Nate's ass. Or should all of us submit pictures of our asses for different days? We could play a game of "Guess who's ass that is".


By Lapis on Saturday, April 19, 2003 - 00:21 am:

    A daily rip-off ass-o'-the-day calendar.

    Wow.

    Complete with full-moon-over-famous-scenes shots?


By Lapis on Friday, August 1, 2003 - 06:32 am:

    Pink "Thursday" thong.
    Black miracle bra.
    Red and black polka dot socks.
    Black satin jeans, cuffed to my knees.
    Black peasant shirt (see my chest! see my chest! put my bra up to the test!).
    Eyepatch.
    Red bandana.
    Hand-woven belt.
    High heeled granny boots.

    ...and the crowning touch...









































    One eye (the right) made up with mascara, eyeliner and shadow, the other with a red lipstick line above and below accented by black eyeliner.

    I did not win the trophy for best pirate costume. Arrr.


By TBone on Friday, August 1, 2003 - 10:34 am:

    Impossible!

    Did the winner have a peg leg?


By Lapis on Friday, August 1, 2003 - 03:30 pm:

    I was also wearing one small hoop earring.

    The winning pirate had a monkey. He was the monkey pirate.


By Spider on Friday, August 1, 2003 - 03:43 pm:

    Oh my God. That's just unfair! How can anyone resist a monkey? The rest of you never had a sporting chance.


By Antigone on Friday, August 1, 2003 - 04:22 pm:

    We need pics...


By sarah on Friday, August 1, 2003 - 06:14 pm:


    anybody know where i can find a great cocktail dress, appropriate for both a wedding and a cocktail party?



By Lapis on Friday, August 1, 2003 - 06:16 pm:

    We'll see, obviously I don't have any of mayself but maybe, just maybe, I didn't dodge out of the way of someone else's flash in time.

    One of my housemates wore her elf costume with a headwrap and she looked good. She actually made it to the final round.


By eri on Friday, August 1, 2003 - 07:35 pm:

    Sarah, I don't know what stores you have over there, so I don't know what to recommend. I have a couple of dresses like that, except that it is "bad" to wear black to a wedding. They are also kinda retro. They might fit you though. I think they should.


By sarah on Sunday, August 3, 2003 - 05:03 am:

    i found three perfect dresses. one of them is a ralph lauren. one of them is red. very very red. but classy. short, but classy. feminine, red, gauzy, sexy classy, red.

    i bought three actually. one black, two red. one red is ankle length. the other i'll wear the wedding. the ankle length i'll wear to Dr. Ass's house warming cocktail sit down dinner partyl. or maybe the black lauren.

    thank god for Ross Dress For Less! secret helper!



By eri on Sunday, August 3, 2003 - 01:12 pm:

    Cool. Congrats.

    I went thrift store shopping and found the coolest tops and a new skirt, oh, and a dress. Now the only question is what to wear to the interview tomorrow.

    We also got Spunky some more shirts and ties for work and some new shoes (from Burlington Coat Factory). It was actually kinda fun to do that shopping.


By sarah on Monday, August 4, 2003 - 12:15 am:

    oh girls. i found not one but FOUR perfect dresses. one black, one blue, and two red. man it has been too long since i've needed a class sexy cocktail dress. finding so many suitable ones did a lot for my continuing body image acceptance. one of the red one is just perfect, it is THE red dress of all red dresses. i found a purse, now i need shoes. my friend laura is letting me borrow her diamond bracelet.

    hm. wonder what happened to that strung out surfer girl who cut her hair with fabric shears and often forgot to wear shoes to work. i hope to find her when i go back to visit in 24 days.

    but who's counting.



By eri on Monday, August 4, 2003 - 12:26 pm:

    Isn't it an awesome feeling when you can go into a store and find just what you are looking for, pull it off of the rack and IT FITS?!?!?!?!?!

    I love that feeling. I can look at something and know if it will fit. My capris....size 6. Didn't try them on, just bought them. After I got home and tried them on a perfect fit. My new skirt for working a size 1 (woo hoo) and got home, tried it on, perfect fit.

    I love going to the store, looking at something and just picking out the one that will fit, cuz for once in my life I can always find something that will fit.


By J on Monday, August 4, 2003 - 12:43 pm:

    I love Ross too,Heather and I went shopping this weekend,we found this shop called Susies Deals http://www.susiesdeals.com/home.html brand new clothes nothing over $5.00. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven,bought Orion a denim overall and shirt set $5.00,a nice fleece blanket and matching pillow $5.00,got me some p.j's.Then we hit the 99 cent only store and I bought alot of stuff I didn't want or need,but hey,it was only 99 cents each.


By sarah on Monday, August 4, 2003 - 01:35 pm:


    no susie's in texas. dammit.

    i could not believe how many amazing dresses they had at Ross. i literally pulled about 20 into the dressing room. 20! how many stores can you go into and find 20 anythings that you think are pretty and want to bother to try on?! that's just absurdly unrealistic. i only tried on about 15 of them. i had to stop short because i had already found four (back down to size 8 - whoo hoo!) and had trouble limiting myself.

    and you're right, there's little in life that's more satisfying than something that fits perfectly right off the rack. all 3 dresses i got are the perfect length, one perfect to my ankles, one perfect to the knee, one perfect above the knee. they don't pull or pucker anywhere. and they're all different but all flattering. the ankle length one has some incredible stitching and bead work on it.

    20 fucking dollars. only 50 for the lauren. my god my god.


By eri on Monday, August 4, 2003 - 02:46 pm:

    Sarah, if you are seriously down to an 8, the little sun dress I got this weekend at a thrift store should fit you. I don't think you are that much taller than me and it is about 1 or 1 1/2 sizes to big on me, and I am steady between a 4 and a 6 for the most part. It's totally cute and even works for the office, but is just too big to look right on me.

    Too bad I couldn't have you drop by to try it on :) I bet it would look cute on you.


By Lapis on Monday, August 4, 2003 - 06:11 pm:

    I am wearing blue snakeskin print panties, a white sports bra, brown sports jersy fabric tee with "plumbing material support" printed on front and "16" on back, grey terry clamdiggers and white saltwaters.

    All my other clothes (well, most anyway, except my work clothes) are dirty.


By sarah on Tuesday, August 5, 2003 - 11:19 am:


    eri, you rock, thanks! the only problem is that i am big chested (and i don't necessarily mean big boobs, i just mean i have a very broad, muscular chest and back which adds circumference)whereas you are not, so sometimes i have trouble w/ sundresses depending on the cut. but please save it for me for the day when i finally make it down to SA for a visit!


By eri on Tuesday, August 5, 2003 - 01:05 pm:

    I will girl. And this is broad in the shoulders, but not really deep, so if you have a larger circumference in the shoulders it should fit you fine. Seriously.

    Have fun at the wedding, and the reunion and all.


By wisper on Tuesday, August 5, 2003 - 07:01 pm:

    I'm wearing ye olde Sailor Moon shirt, that i got made for me in china town when i was a sailor moon collector.
    Little kids in stores run up to me and go "Mommy mommy that lady has a SailorMoon shirt! I want one! where did you get it??!!"
    And i'll tell them i got it 6 or 7 years before they were born.


By eri on Tuesday, August 5, 2003 - 07:22 pm:

    Heh. I am wearing a white tank top and red cotton Reebok shorts. Boring housewife clothes.


By V.v. on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 07:31 pm:

    My self, i am sweltering in 34 CELSIUS,There fore i am wearing just a black g-string thing,and waiting to die of dehidration.


By V.v. on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 08:07 pm:

    Eri,you are not ever a a boring housewife.You are a high ranking Sorabji,just remember that.Perhaps you need to wear a very small g-string like me.,and nothing else,THEN your love life will change,i know this to be true.[dont knock this idea untill you try it]


By eri on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 10:39 pm:

    Got the G-String teddies.....don't need help in the love life department, heh, San Antonio seems to bring on more than I can handle sometimes.....
    And we all know that Eri doesn't discuss her sex life here, cuz it will give Patrick the willies :)


By V.v. on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 11:34 pm:

    WELL....the heat in San Antonio does tend to make the sap rise.


By eri on Thursday, August 7, 2003 - 12:05 am:

    Too bad it doesn't make the shit splatter.


By V.v. on Thursday, August 7, 2003 - 12:27 am:

    eri,anal retentive?


By eri on Thursday, August 7, 2003 - 12:33 am:

    No, just thinking of the walking pieces of shit around here, who won't take no for an answer.


By V.v. on Thursday, August 7, 2003 - 12:42 am:

    Eri,you should not speak of Hal,Dave,Patrick and TBone in such a nanner,they may be offended.


By TBone on Thursday, August 7, 2003 - 02:42 am:

    Maybe, but probably not.


By patrick on Thursday, August 7, 2003 - 12:29 pm:

    so V2 is a chick?


    hot damn.

By eri on Thursday, August 7, 2003 - 12:47 pm:

    Patrick you make me laugh. I knew it was the mental image of Spunky that bugged. Heh.

    We had the hottest day of the year here yesterday and it is only supposed to get hotter. This weekend is supposed to be bad, and our pools aren't open yet, but they have been working on them, I checked yesterday, so hopefully the water won't be soooooooo warm that it defeats the purpose of swimming in the first place.


By V.v. on Thursday, August 7, 2003 - 05:37 pm:

    Patric,you will be o.k. untill your A.C. blows a fuse [hope it doz,SOON] Are you by chance a girl?YOU SOUND JUST LIKE A BUTCH LESBIAN.I CAN SOON CURE YOU OF THAT,AND YOU WILL THANK ME FOR IT ON YOUR BENDED KNEES.

    Hal,talking to your self is a sign of insanity,are you as crazy as me?perhaps we are the same person or identity.Am i inside your head?or in the hall?have you allways been mad,right over the edge?will i see you on the dark side of the Moon?i hope so.Dr.Chandler is now ready to give us our first lesson.


By eri on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 06:45 pm:

    How boring is this?

    I like Hal and all but this is just boring.


By Hal on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 07:38 pm:

    eri,i would rather have a full bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotamy.


By eri on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 08:14 pm:

    Can't argue with that one.


By Little Bat Confusion on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 08:26 pm:

    But apparently HE can.. or maybe it's HIM.


By V.v. on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 08:53 pm:

    Or both together,in harmony,like a barber shop duo that are joined together at the head,like siamese twins,that share the same bottle of hooch.


By eri on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 09:06 pm:

    Or maybe Hal is secretly that freakish dude on MIB II that has the other little head that peaks over his shoulder and is a smart arse...

    Maybe I am drunk, maybe I have no fucking clue what I am talking about


By V.v. on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 09:41 pm:

    eri,you allways talk intelligently [vodka or no vodka]tonight i have been likewise indulgeing my self in the wonderfull stuff.I like the bit about the little head that pukes over his shoulder,or perhaps i no longer focus too well.


By Lapis on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 10:37 pm:

    Drinky drinky!

    I haven't drank since Wednesday, I might tonight during Zoobomb.

    I am wearing a black t-shirt that says "Put the fun between your legs" with a picture of a bicycle on it. Amoung other things. Under which I am nude.


By eri on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 10:55 pm:

    Well, I am wearing a white tank top and a pair of blood red shorts. Under the top is the white bra, and underneath the shorts is the matching colored undies, but underneath all of that I am nude :)


By Platypus on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 11:49 pm:

    Right now I am wearing a white tee-shirt and that's all.

    Earlier at work I was wearing brown carpenter cords, a black support tank top (too hot for a bra) and a wrap shirt over it so I didn't traumatize customers. And green underwear with little geishas on them. And under all that I was nude.

    It is too fucking hot.

    Eri your outfit sounds really cute.


By Hal on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 12:35 am:

    Kids... It looks like we're going to have to go back to checking the source of posts.

    By Hal on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 07:38 pm:
    eri,i would rather have a full bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotamy.


    That wasn't your good old buddy, and ass hat extream, me.... It was this fuck wad of an imposter. God damned sons of holy cracker assed mother mary dog sucking sons of bitches, don't know how to get their own freakin identity any more.


By eri on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 12:54 am:

    ROFLMAO....Hal, where the hell did you come up with that one?

    Thanks Platypus. This is my a-typical housewife wear. The white tank top is a midriff top, and the shorts have little paint stains all over them. It might have been cute, but I have worn this stuff to death.

    I really need to get my tattoo on my belly button!!!! Then it wouldn't be so bad that my tank top showed off my belly, cuz everyone would notice the tattoo instead!!!


By TBone on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 03:25 am:

    Hal, don't take my bottle line. That's just not cricket.

    I'm wearing tattered green boxers.


By Lapis on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 04:28 am:

    Still wearing the same ol', but now slightly buzzed and sweaty.

    Tomorrow I'm wearing a formal dress and carting my karaoke machine to kickball.

    Hal, you don't have to say that your other personalities aren't you, we know all about them and they're not imposters.

    I make no sense.


By heather on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 10:29 am:

    i am completely bare!!



    i go out walkin

    after midnight

    out in the moonlight....


By Hal on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 10:47 am:

    I in no way associate with that 9000 character, and I would like to point out the discrepencies:

    The post I'm making right now is from: dslgw1-pool-c175.hlna.uswest.net 216.161.218.174

    You should all know damn well that I wouldn't be caught dead using AOL. Let alone dial-up. Once you go broadband, you never go back.

    eri, as for where the small insults to my imposters character are coming, for the last few days I have had this feeling like I've snorted a bunch of ajax or something. I've been bouncing off the walls, and can't sleep for shit. Haven't eaten much, been forcing myself to eat, and the only intake of any kind of influincing chemical has been caffieine. Haven't even smoked a cig in the last few days, just didn't feel like it. Don't know what the hell is going on.


    Right now, I'm wearing work clothes that need to be washed.


By semillama on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 12:43 pm:

    Hal, you need to mount an American-made motorcycle and hit the highway. Take a trip like Mark did earlier. I think you are the type of person to have many interesting experiences and meet strange people, and god knows we need more of that stuff written about here.


By patrick on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 01:18 pm:

    pez...i take it this weekends ride was face-in-pavement free?


By V.v. on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 02:35 pm:

    patrick,i like that face-in the pavement stuff.


By patrick on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 02:59 pm:

    pavement pizza?

    concrete meat?


By V.v. on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 03:47 pm:

By Lapis on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 06:13 pm:

    Road rash free at the moment, my lastest "wounds" are all kickball. It's all about the rug burn.



    A friend of mine broke his foot rolling into a car (California stop) last week, but he came back, riding a minibike with his cast on one pedal and crutches over the handlebars. He says he much prefers Zoobomb to the armpit express.


By Hal on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 08:45 pm:

    That shit takes money.


By Lapis on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 10:45 pm:

    Not zoobomb. Just beer.


By Lapis on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 10:47 pm:

    I am about to put on a formal dress to play kickball. Mandarin collar, ankle length, slit high high high. Seven years old and it still fits.


By eri on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 12:01 am:

    Rock on. I totally cannot wear the formal dresses I wore 7 years ago. I have gained way too much weight. Not that I am fat, but I am not a size 0 anymore (thank God).

    My formals are ones I have gotten since Spunky and I got married (two of them) and hand me downs from my mom (two of them). So they are anywhere from a size 3 to a size 12, guaranteed to have one thing fit on all occasions. They may not look great, but they will fit :)

    So I went to this bbq for a friend this weekend. Her mom was in town from MO, so she had a bbq for her. She introduced this chick M as her best friend to everyone (which I guess is fine). My problem is with M. She is the walking definition of a crack whore. I mean literally. She's so nasty. When she was hanging around here before $400 mysteriously dissappeared from my place, though she wasn't the only crack idiot that my friend kept around upstairs. I honestly don't know why she hangs out with these people. I avoided her for months because of it and still see her rarely. So I play nice at this bbq, cuz I don't want to make a huge scene in front of all of them. I don't need to upset her, or her mom. We went for them, not to bash the crack whores.

    This morning I get a call at 8am. From M. Wants me to babysit, so she can go interview for a job at McDonald's cuz apparently the strip clubs won't hire her anymore, cuz no one wants to see her skanky ass. I respectfully declined.

    Ugh....now crack whores are calling. I swear I am like one step away from moving out and not telling anyone where I am!

    G is going to get her ass chewed out royally for giving M my phone number, I swear it.


By Hal on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 12:52 am:

    Pez...

    Can I live with you, formal kick ball sounds fun.


By Lapis on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 05:52 am:

    Come over, it wasn't formal kickball, it was dress kickball but I was the only one who knew it.

    You should know that I have room for you anytime.


By moonit on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 06:25 am:

    Lapis I so need to come over there and teach you hallway soccer.


By patrick on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 12:33 pm:

    pez is so 21.

    its fucking cute.

    you go on with your rule breaking.

    hallway soccer.

    now there's a memory.




    i tried, a couple of years ago, to organize a kickball game every sunday, but most of my friends are slackasses.


By Lapis on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 03:59 pm:

    Woo yay.

    Hallway soccer? Sounds like fun if I could find someone living in an apartment building.

    We have kickball every Monday, I don't know how long it's been going on; I've played since June. It's all about the fun except when I miss something, certain other people take it way too seriously.


By TBone on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 04:12 pm:

    That always seems to happen. Although I think it less likely that somone would be overly focused on the score in hallway soccer.
    .
    Kickball was dangerous at my gradeschool. We played with way too big a ball, and the field was too small. I remember a kid getting hit point blank with that huge, heavy ball. His feet hit the ground last.
    Naturally, it was very funny. I think he lost a tooth or something, but that's not unusual in a gradeschool playground.
    .
    Formal kickball would be sweet. I'd need a tux, though.
    A Black and White (kick)Ball.


By patrick on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 04:17 pm:

    what kind of ball did you use tbone?


    your supposed to use those inflatable red bouncy balls made of rubber. they are light and are harmless. in fact we used them for dodgeball as well. being light as they are, they are ideal for either or, becaue you can bean someone in the head and it wont hurt, just make a fantastic BooooNG! sound and in kickball you can kick the shit out of them.


By TBone on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 04:35 pm:

    Sounds like the same deal, only it was old, thick rubber, and it was unusually large, and we were very small.
    I do remember the great sound it made.


By Lapis on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 05:39 pm:

    I did actually get someone out, even with one of my (supposedly classic) fumbles.

    The first inning, the first kick even, I was playing first, ready to tackle, but the guy slams into me, I go flying and landed on my can. Flat. "I was gonna drink that!!!" I shrieked, chasing him around the field, dribbling beer on his shoulders whenever possible.

    I wonder how Sorabjite kickball would go.


By semillama on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 05:58 pm:

    pretty much like what you just described for the entire game.


By patrick on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 06:11 pm:

    i would be thrilled to hear the oh so distinct "BooooooNG" sound as it richocheted off spunk's bonehead.


By Hal on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 06:16 pm:

    Dude those red balls could hurt man, it was all about their basic momentum. You kick one hard enough and someone is a very short distance away and catches it in the bean sack.... They aren't happy.

    When your 4-6, that thing is a meteor of red death.

    Somehow I belive sorabjite sports of anykind, would involve nekkidness and lots of random booze.


By patrick on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 06:50 pm:

    "When your 4-6, that thing is a meteor of red death."


    oh it didnt hurt THAT bad.

    many a childhood frustrations were excised on the dodgeball court.

    dodgeball.

    a cruel cruel game, yet a very keen game derived of reality.


By Lapis on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 07:20 pm:

    Yes.

    Nekkidness and Random Booze Run Rampant in the Sorabjite Olympics 2004.

    Somewhere in the rural US- Residents remain stunned after witnessing what very well may be largest unnatural disaster in the area in over a century. "Why couldn't we just have had a forest fire?" weeped one local who wished to remain anonymous.

    A group of internet afectiondos, dubbed Sorabjites after a web site, decided somehow that it would be a great idea to have some 'games' out in the woods; three days of beer, kickball and naked mud wrestling. Horrified parents covered their childrens' eyes as gangs of nude nerds ran across yards carrying red rubber balls....

    etc.

    It could take you off your feet, but it couldn't actually hurt you.
    .
    I was all about the dodgeball.
    .
    I was fast.


By patrick on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 07:31 pm:

    i had a fine mix of speed, agility and most of all length. due to my stringy fingers arms, i could palm the ball and practically place it right up your nose.

    i really need to get one of those balls.

    eva will not enter school without knowing how to exert extreme prejiduce on the dodgeball court.


    of course the pussies at the school board have probably banned it, or make them wear helmets now.


By Lapis on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 07:35 pm:

    They banned Red Rover when I was in middle school.

    If anyone wants to learn the meaning of extreme sport, just try to play foursquare wearing a gorilla suit.


By eri on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 09:11 pm:

    Spunky grew up where they called dodgeball "Smear the queer". OMG. I couldn't believe that one.

    Hayley is not allowed to play red rover, so they made up another version of the game, where the rules are a little different and the whole thing is pussy. I think they even changed the name to make it more politically correct. She has not learned how to play dodgeball or kickball in all her years at school (now going into 4th grade).

    Instead they play with "freedom balls" and do crab walks and annoying shit like that.

    I was tiny in school and basically sucked at all games, but I can kick some ass now. Being the brunt of the lame jokes back then gave me the drive to learn to do the things I wasn't good at and to become good at them.

    Sometimes I think the things they do at schools (like change red rover to a pc game) make is so kids don't have to learn inner strength. It just seems so goddamned lame what they do now...

    I wanna hear hayley talk about how she got her ass kicked in a game of kickball at the end of the day, and then go out with her and practice with her so she can do better later... but that has never happened.


By Dougie on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 12:06 am:

    "Smear the queer"

    Holy shit, there's a blast from the past, although for us, it wasn't dodgeball -- rather, whoever was the "queer" got tossed a football and 5 seconds to run away as fast as he could before being smothered at the bottom of a pile-on.


By dave. on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 01:45 am:

    yeah, we played that. it definitely was not dodgeball.

    i loved co-ed dodgeball. the girl's gym teacher in my middle school was such a bulldyke that she actually subjected her girls to that mess in some feminist attempt to empower them or something. man, it was ugly.

    and hot!


By agatha on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 01:45 am:

    For the record, I would most likely never get naked in front of any of you, except maybe for Sarah and Heather. And Dave, of course. Sorry.


By J on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 01:58 am:

    Are we talking about kick ball?


By moonit on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 02:10 am:

    Hallway soccer is usually a formal occasion (seeing as everyone is dressed/made up due to the fact that in several hours we'll be piling into a taxi for some city drinking). Some are high. Some are pissed. The hallway is long and maybe 2 metres wide. The goals are fire guards. Theres no score. Its pretty much a chance to:
    a. let off steam by running/kicking/jumping someone who has either
    i. pissed you off
    ii. you have a crush on.
    b. there is no b.


By Hal on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 06:39 am:

    See, TBone you were fast... I couldn't dodge those fuckers and stay on my feet. But I was the suicide hurler, all of a sudden some random person on the other team would see me running across the gym, ball in hand dive wildly to avoid being hit by incoming balls and mid dive throw all my foreward momentum into the ball at them.... Lemme tell you kids, you don't think those things hurt, but the way we played it really wasn't the ball that hurt you, it was you that hurt you. Or at least in my case, it was me hurting me and others. I remember one time, I beaned like 3 kids right in the face, at like mach 3. They went down.


By TBone on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 10:26 am:

    Much of your life happens in slow-motion, doesn't it Hal?


By semillama on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 11:43 am:

    well, it makes for good narration. You tell good stories Hal.


By patrick on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 12:40 pm:

    ah yes.

    smear the queer. considering my brother was always on some middle school or high school football team, i am very familiar with this game.

    it was amusing to him, to suit me up in his 30 lbs of gear, on my 75lb frame mind you and "smear" me all over the backyard.

    havent we all had the bulldyke gym coach at one point or another dave? seriously.


By Spider on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 12:44 pm:

    I've had two such teachers. I didn't know it was a national phenomenon...


    I'm wearing flip-flops, jeans, a black v-neck short-sleeved shirt, and a black thin cardigan. No makeup. Hair messily pulled back. I look unprofessional, and I'd really rather be at home, asleep, right now.


By Lapis on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 12:47 pm:

    I don't think it's a phenomenon, just a natural tendency of bulldykes to enjoy gym class (and the locker room).


By patrick on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 12:49 pm:

    my ramones shirt.

    crappy torn shorts, made from banana republic pants. fine glaze of sweat. its going to a warm one.

    im with eva today.


By Spider on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 12:51 pm:

    Hmmm...I think that could be a thesis topic right there.


    (I forgot to mention that I'm wearing the same shirt I wore yesterday and slept in last night. It's clean, though.)


By Dougie on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 01:00 pm:

    T-shirt that says "Palm Beach", paint-spattered cargo shorts, my new Dr. Scholl's tennis shoes that I got at Walmart for like $20. Who know that Dr. Scholl's made tennies? Not me. They're actually pretty comfortable, except after a while, they get really hot. I hate flip-flops -- can't stand that thing between my toes, and I hate that smacking thing they do every time you take a step.


By TBone on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 01:21 pm:

    T-shirt: Phreak Wear (7/16")
    Over that, I'm wearing a blue, vaguely tropical print shirt, open.
    Green cargoes with bright orange velcro.
    Garmont shoes.
    Messy hair.


By eri on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 01:25 pm:

    No hot water here. Can't take shower. Boiling water for bath tub right now.

    I must bathe before I get dressed and ready for the day.

    So right now, white nightie with pink roses, and matching satin undies.


By J on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 01:31 pm:

    What kind of apartment complex is that you live in,first the air,now the water,tell them they better give you aa rent discount for all this shit they put you through.


By eri on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 01:49 pm:

    No rent discount. In fact, since there is a new management company, they upped the rent on our last lease. They couldn't understand that we would only sign on for 6 months and not a year. Duh.

    I tell you, as soon as this lease is up we are so outa here!! We will rent a house instead. I swear it.


By semillama on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 02:21 pm:

    black cherokee shoes.
    Dark tan socks.
    dark olive green jeans.
    light tan Club Room shirt.
    watch.
    the ring Kazoo gave me for xmas.

    really not motivated to work after a co-worker discovered a disc on which my ex-boss downloaded an entire porn site to PDF.


By Dougie on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 02:26 pm:

    Hey Sem, how come Kazoo never posts anymore?


By eri on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 02:51 pm:

    Good question. We haven't heard from Kazoo in ages.

    I am now wearing navy blue cut off sweat pants and a white tank top....feeling lazy about dressing right now.

    Hair is twisted up in a black spider clip. So I clash, too.

    Throw in the super dark blood red nail and toe polish and I look like a total heel.

    Don't care right now, though.


By Platypus on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 03:10 pm:

    A Queen Helene Mint Julep beauty mask....


    And that's all.

    Time for a shower.


By eri on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 04:42 pm:

    I need to do that same mask. I love it. My skin has been ucky lately.


By semillama on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 04:48 pm:

    Kazoo will start posting regularly again next week when she returns to Atlanta (I'm going with her for a week). I don't have a land line or a DSL line at home so her internet access has been limited this summer.

    I'm sure she'llbe thrilled to be back, although spunky posting long excepts from anti-choice group's websites, I'm sure she could do without.


By spunky on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 04:56 pm:

    I have some choice replies to that, but I feel that would be as inappropriate for this thread as your post was.


By Lapis on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 05:29 pm:

    Black string bikini undies.
    White bra with embroidered daisies.
    Black trouser socks.
    Black satin jeans buttoned with a safety pin.
    White "camp" shirt that pulls in front.
    Black docs.
    Black ponytail holder.
    Bicycle chain.

    Guess what? It's back to work for me! Yay.


By semillama on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 06:00 pm:

    My post was not inappropriate at all spunky, as folks asked about Kazoo. So I told them what was up and what to expect. So fuck off already with the pomposity.


By spunky on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 06:10 pm:

    that was entirely unnecessary


By eri on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 06:57 pm:

    OK then.

    I am now wearing low cut black jazz pants, a blood red tank top with black flowers outlined, black water bra, dark blue bikini undies, matching red sandals, and a black celtic cross necklace.


By Antigone on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 07:13 pm:

    eri, are you trying to be goth?


By Hal on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 07:55 pm:

    1: Pez, don't ever do that to me again.

    2: I live in bullet time.

    3: I'm wearing black boxer breifs, and a black undershirt. I just woke up and although there are pants no more then 4 feet from me, I feel like the underwear is good for now. I really have no desire whatsoever to work tonight, but alas thats what I have to do. I'm starting to feel chagrined twards tweakers and drunks.


By eri on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 08:06 pm:

    I never knew I had to try to be goth?


By Platypus on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 10:33 pm:

    I am wearing black Felina bikini cute undies that are really, really soft.

    Black Wacoal bra which manages to be comfy, sexy, and able to handle the emotional stress of my tig bitties.

    Bdus.

    Orange tanktop that closes with a row of hook and eyes.

    Some metal crap.

    Glasses. Did I mention I'm getting new glasses soon and how stoked I am? I ordered them yesterday and they will arrive soon yay!


By Lapis on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 01:09 am:

    Don't do what?

    I am wearing the same underwear, an orange polyester zip-front shirt (formerly of Harby's (?)) and highwater flares.


By Hal on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:42 am:

    Mental images are damaging to my psyche'.

    Some loose dark green cargos, my grey "Navy" shirt, a different pair of black boxer briefs, black undershirt, white socks, and crappy ass old tennis shoes I work in. In a moment, that will be down to my underwear, work killed my ass last night.


By Platypus on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 04:54 pm:

    I really need to stop posting right when I get out of the shower after work.

    I'm wearing a cream coloured towel with red stains on it from the mysterious red thing that exploded all over my laundry last night.

    Soon I will be wearing a black tank top and a purple and black polka dot silk skirt with assorted underwear and oxblood mary janes.

    I think I will go thriftstoring today.


By Spider on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 05:16 pm:

    I'm messy again today. I've got a long black gauze chinese-collar tunic thing on, a black stretchy camisole on underneath, short khakis that are probably capris on anyone else but come to just above my ankles, and really old black backless mary-jane slip-ons. I'm wearing a lavender bra that's annoying....it's made of a thick material, and you can see the edges of the cups in the front under my shirt. (Well, not this particular shirt, but any other shirt.) I can't remember what color my underwear is.


By eri on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 05:17 pm:

    Back to the housewife garb, and I am wearing a white tank top, blue sweat shorts (with paint stains all over em) a white lace demi bra and burghundy string bikini panties.....my hair in a clip, no make-up and no shoes.


By semillama on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 05:36 pm:

    i just ordered some subgenius garb. A new shirt and a great time control hat. I'm going to my first devival next month and I want to look spiffy.


By moonit on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 05:38 pm:

    I'm wearing jeans, a blue cardigan with a two way zip thing, a black bra that at some time today will annoy me by digging in, pink undies, black socks and converse shoes. It's meant to be winter but its like a summer morning outside. Fucking weather. Yesterday was raining and freezing. Today sunny and hot.


By Lapis on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 06:15 pm:

    I spilled salsa on my favorite jeans and hate wearing the others I've put away. I daren't wear my work pants, I dislike wearing dress pants and I despise shorts. I wore a skirt last night and it's back to the highwater flares today.

    A blue surfer photo-print large boys' button down.

    Glasses embellished by red duct tape.


By J on Friday, August 15, 2003 - 10:45 am:

    I'm still in my jammies,a sleep set,blue with little flowers of all colors that I got for 5 bucks at Susies Deals.It's not even 7 a.m. yet,but Orion will be here in a hour and I need some time to myself.I've always been good with kids but he's not only hyper,he's very destructive,and now he's climbing.Time-outs are not working.


By eri on Friday, August 15, 2003 - 11:03 am:

    J, Christopher is the same way and he is openly violent to other kids. It can really make your blood pressure rise. A little meditation at the end of the day can sometimes help.

    I am wearing a light tan colored tank top, and some black short shorts, pulled down so my ass doesn't hang out of the bottom of them.

By Death on Thursday, April 29, 2004 - 08:53 pm:

    boiled chicken skin. got some sun on Catalina Island sunday.

    see link above.


    This fried chicken's head was discovered in an order of chicken wings.

    A customer at a McDonald's restaurant in Newport News got more than she bargained for when she received her order. Katherine Ortega said she found a fried chicken's head in the box of chicken wings she ordered Tuesday night

    Green striped pajama pants and a t-shirt with a crocodile on it. "le crocodile," it says.


By droopy on Thursday, July 3, 2008 - 07:43 pm:

    "the crocodile gets its name from its habit of basking in the sun on sandbanks or on the shores of rivers. the word means literally 'pebble-worm,' and it was coined in greek from the nouns krókë (pebbles) and drilos (worms)."

    White skirt with black braid, orange striped underpants, a supercomfy new Vanity Fair bra, black camisole with white lace trim, and a black tunic, open in the front. Beaten silver earrings. And my awesome black leather sandals. I feel very, ah, black and white today.


By Danielssss on Tuesday, July 8, 2008 - 07:44 pm:

    he hee.

    This hot afternoon I want a beach. I notice, since resurfacing with this thread, that, what is not said, is as important as that which is not worn. Or ?

    the gaps and the straps and the in betweens.

    the pictures missing but the mind conjuring.

    pick an innocuous few: slingback heels, punk rock hair, teal tank top, bare feet, a comfy bra.

    Women's wear is so creative. There's no comparison to men's wear, none at all.

    Beaten -- beaten -- silver. Save us from the fashion police.


By Spider on Tuesday, July 8, 2008 - 11:18 pm:

    Sarah, tell us more about this punk rock hair cut.

    I got my hair cut a couple of weeks ago, and tragically, it's more Linda Ronstadt than punk rock. *MOURN*


By kazu on Wednesday, July 9, 2008 - 12:02 am:

    My new favorite jeans
    brown jacket
    black teeshirt

    on rudely pushing out of
    paisley underpants


By sarah on Wednesday, July 9, 2008 - 12:15 am:


    pregnant boobies are not to be contained.




By platypus on Wednesday, July 9, 2008 - 02:08 am:

    Actually, I think the fashion police would approve of my earrings. You may be visualizing huge honking discs of silver, but in fact my beaten silver earrings are more like beaten wire, and looped through my ears to cross at the bottom; it's kinda hard to explain, but, believe me, they are quite excellent. And I have been complemented by hipsters while wearing them, so there.

    Now that my choice in earrings has been defended, I want to see pictures of the punk rock haircut.


By agatha on Wednesday, July 9, 2008 - 02:18 am:

    Yes, pictures of the punk rock haircut and also the pregnant Kazu,
    please. I am wearing gap jeans (I know, but they actually fit), a
    purple ribbed tanktop, a robin's egg blue cotton cardigan tied
    around my waist, and some extra fat. No shoes or socks. Also, I
    cut my own hair last week, and now I look like a cross between
    Joan Jett and a femmullet. Lord have mercy.


By agatha on Wednesday, July 9, 2008 - 02:44 am:

    Wow, why does my post look like that? Must be the new mac.
    What happened to Tbone?


By Spider on Wednesday, July 9, 2008 - 10:35 am:

    Are you using Safari? Safari and Sorabji don't get along.

    And Agatha, in a stunning coincidence, I also cut my own hair this morning and am now leaning more toward Joan Jett than Linda Rondstadt. Behold. (It's still wet, and it's not as crooked as it looks there.)


By kazu on Wednesday, July 9, 2008 - 11:10 am:

    My new favorite jeans are from the gap.

    I don't look pregnant so any picture on Flickr
    should suffice. Also, I won't be doing belly
    pictures, but if my belly happens to be in a
    regular picture of me, I'm sure Sem will post it.


By sarah on Wednesday, July 9, 2008 - 02:25 pm:



    i have very straight hair. it's now all one length and cut extremely bluntly, about half way between my ear lobes and shoulders. the underside is dyed a purplish red, the rest of it is my regular blonde.


    doesn't sound very punk rock i guess, but it looks cooler than it sounds.


    esp if you compare it to the long layered deal i had before.


    but never ever bangs. i hate bangs.





By platypus on Wednesday, July 9, 2008 - 05:50 pm:

    I've never been able to figure bangs out. But I do need to cut my hair, maybe I will do something adventurous this time instead of the usual trim.


By moonit on Wednesday, July 9, 2008 - 11:36 pm:

    Bangs is such a weird word to describe a FRINGE. I have a side sweepy fringe - today my hair decided to flick it self out, its quite cool. I had to go blonde because the grey was too noticble in my mouse brown usual colour.


By jack on Thursday, July 10, 2008 - 12:06 am:

    a) linda ronstadt is not un-hot. linda ronstadt has often been hot.

    b) that haircut looks really cute. but it doesn't hold a candle to your beautiful smile, spider. the picture of radiance.


By jack on Thursday, July 10, 2008 - 12:07 am:


    uh, boxerbriefs, charcoal. it is summer.



By moonit on Thursday, July 10, 2008 - 12:39 am:

    hm blue jeans, same doggie vans, black shirt, pink scarf - its friggen cold.

    Here is a video for your enjoyment of our snow (we don't get snow very often and its melted now). Reese had fun:

    A short, cut tank shirt. it is warm and humid outside right now, the forecast is cloudy and possible rain.


By droopy on Thursday, July 10, 2008 - 06:56 pm:

    black bra and a matching g-string. got a haircut two days ago, but it's nothing interesting. shaved my genitals this morning; i'm very pleased with the results. nothing gives a man's junk more of a "last chicken in the butcher shop" look like hairlessness.


By Nate on Thursday, July 10, 2008 - 07:29 pm:

    black swim trunks. i shaved my balls and the "optical inch" strip above my johnson a few days ago. i'm looking for a girl with a slightly grown out crotch shave (sandpaper cooch). we can have a rash-off.




By agatha on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 01:18 am:

    Ugh.

    Spider, my hair kinda looks like yours, only less good.


By Spider on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 02:53 am:

    Moonit, your dog is adorable.

    Actually, my hair looks much better than that when it's dry. :) This was it yesterday (after walking home from work) and I only cut about an inch off the very bottom. After having hip-length hair for a couple years and always wearing it up or in braids, short and messy feels pretty good.

    You're a red-head, right, Agatha? I bet your hair is awesome.

    Yours, too, Sarah. :) Pictures?


By Spider on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 03:18 am:

    That probably wasn't the best picture to use as evidence for "looking much better." JUST TRUST ME, OKAY? :P


By Nate on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 03:47 am:

    it would be nice if you actually left your face in. i mean, you've done it before.

    i think hair needs the context of face.


By heather on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 06:37 am:

    yes! please!



By sarah on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 10:28 am:


    i think it's hilarious that Spider does that to her photos.


    it let's my imagination do the work. i choose to believe that behind the scenes she's making a cross eyed face with her tongue sticking out.



    i'll try to get senor to take a photo of my punk rock hair cut this weekend...



    right now i am wearing my jammies, bottoms are inside out.





By Danielssss on Saturday, July 12, 2008 - 09:47 pm:

    two days in the pool, feel like my hair is swampgrass. threatening to cut at least six inches off. some say old hippies (at least 57) ought not have long hair. Screw it. Will go shave something else. Like Droop's approach above. if i lose the long hair, i'm looking at a shaved head. no compromise, nothing in between. Spider's hair is great, even faceless, but Nate's right, need a context.

    speaking of context, anyone ever been to Belize?


By Nate on Saturday, July 12, 2008 - 10:15 pm:

    i realized today that it has been over a decade since i cut my long hair. long hair is not an option for me anymore. it hasn't been an option for years. really, over a decade.

    the past six months has put grey in my beard.

    some say there is no such thing as a hippie anymore.


By Dr Pepper on Sunday, July 13, 2008 - 12:18 am:

    Something like I saw the movie called "ring 1 and 2"? that creepy monster girl that lived in well?


By Danielssss on Sunday, December 14, 2008 - 12:46 am:

By Spider on Sunday, December 14, 2008 - 12:16 pm:

    Eep.



    I had my hair cut yesterday. Pics will not be posted because it has made me very sad.

    I'm wearing: socks with dogs on them (possibly pekineses); cotton pajama bottoms (white with big dark purple flowers); a maroon t-shirt with an image of a woman dancing with a bear under a streetlight saying, "I always liked your porridge best" in a speech bubble; pink and white striped underwear; an oatmeal-colored cardigan sweater I've had since college; glasses.

    I'm eating: Kashi cereal and skim milk.


    My imagination fails to produce an image of Nate with long hair. It gives me Henry Rollins with long hair instead.


By Danielssss on Sunday, December 14, 2008 - 01:26 pm:

    eep?


By Spider on Sunday, December 14, 2008 - 02:45 pm:

    Yep.


By agatha on Sunday, December 14, 2008 - 04:05 pm:

    Spidey, are you eating Kashi Go Lean Crunch? Because, that's the best variety in my opinion.

    I'm wearing an orange thermal shirt, black socks, and black leggings. I haven't actually gotten dressed yet today. My house is very cold, and my dogs are very needy, and Dave is makin delicious taters.


By Nate on Sunday, December 14, 2008 - 04:23 pm:

    i eat kashi go lean. fiber and protein. the soy is the big downside, but i crave a cereal and i need the protein.

    i think i passed on the crunch because it doesn't have as much protein. but i'm not certain.

    it just started raining. i love this time of year.


By droopy on Sunday, December 14, 2008 - 04:33 pm:

    wearing: blue t-shirt that has "bob's lanes strike! the best lanes in the fossil area" on it and a cartoon bowling pin wearing a crown, red boxer/briefs, corduroy fleece-lined slippers.

    drinking luke warm yerba mate.

    things that made me go eep this week:

    only two days after i had just seen her down in austin last sunday, my baby niece had to go to the hospital with respiratory syncytial virus (rsv). she has been on a respirator for the past week, but this morning i heard they are finally taking her home and all is well.

    on friday i had brought a thermos/mug full of the very last of my very strong community coffee into my bedroom to have coffee in bed. while adjusting a pillow, i knocked the mug over and spilled all the coffee on my carpet. i used a shammi to soak it up, but there's still a big stain there.

    last night i was cooking cooking chicken (with cumin, chili powder, and cayenne for tacos) in my big frying pan with a partially clear plastic lid. i took the lid off and put it to the side. i left the kitchen for a second and heard a crash: the lid had fallen and the plastic completely shattered.


By Dr Pepper on Sunday, December 14, 2008 - 04:50 pm:

    I am wearing Black sweatshirt, dark blue shirt with "F.B.I." logo on back, dark blue jean, old sock, planning on buying it, and of course boxer short.

    It is gloomy outside, and the temperature is 45 degree outside, we had a light rain this morning and it may be a freezing rain today.

    I am planning to go out of town pretty soon to go places, I had to fight off tinninis(ringing effects in your ear). I am going for a light shopping today.

    I was hoping for a sunshine tomorrow or later this week.


By platypus on Sunday, December 14, 2008 - 05:04 pm:

    I'm wearing blue and green striped pajama pants, striped fuzzy socks, a plain white tee, and a green cable-knit sweater. It's cold up here. Snow level down to 1,000 feet, and might snow here tonight (though it won't stick).

    I'm about to change into black cashmere socks with pink polka dots, dark brown corduroy pants, and a pink cashmere turtleneck so that I can go play Scrabble with friends.

    So happy that the rain is back. Winter is awesome.


By Veda on Monday, December 15, 2008 - 03:58 pm:

    I'm wearing my first official maternity shirt - blue, and the only pair of non-sweat pants that fit me - brown. I'm also wearing some pink and green striped socks that are cutting into my legs.


By la pez on Monday, December 15, 2008 - 07:53 pm:

    when portland freezeth over:

    long-sleeved high-necked undershirt (black)
    polo shirt (burgundy)
    v-necked chenille sweater (forest green)
    leggings (grey)
    coffee-and-pen stained cargo khakis (uhm, khaki?)
    hiking boots covered in dried mud from haunting a corn maze last year

    plus a windbreaker (navy blue), hoodie (navy blue), woven silk scarf (orange), knit hat w/brim (camo green) and a pair of those convertable fingerless glove/mitten thingys are residing in my bag because i'm in the library rather than outside in 22f (-4c) weather.


By la pez on Monday, December 15, 2008 - 07:57 pm:

    ....and for breakfast i ate wheat toast with earth balance and redland honey (from family bees some 30 miles away).

    (hi. and to be perfectly honest, i haven't even lurked for a couple months. what's new?)


By Danielssss on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 12:25 am:

    Hi Agent, I owe u an email. It was 8 below in Omaha this morning, and it's 16 above in StL. 22 f in Portland is cold, right?


By la pez on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 11:17 am:

    it's the coldest it's been all year, i think.

    damn la nina.


By Danielssss on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 12:39 pm:

    just the beginning. colder hotter different all round.

    we have about ten years to alter the environmentally unsound practices in the Ecuadorian archepelago...according to the science of it... and about the same time to alter the course of the earth's demise. it will of course survive as it has before. civilizations pass, and ours will too. we are exacerbating the problems with greedy mindless consumption, setting the example for developing nations to be more like western excess. truly unfortunate.

    if we could all bike to work one day a week we'd save something like 8 billionmiles driven a year.


By Dr Pepper on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 02:45 pm:

    Danielssss, I wouldn't want to ride bicycle to and from work in a cold frigid weather! That too fucking retarded!, no pun intended.


By Danielssss on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 04:35 pm:

    yes and it is 22 miles or more to my office All downhill, not bad. Going going home would be a bitch. I live 300 feet higher than my office (or the arch actually).

    We need to rethink everything: move where we work, or work where we live.


By la pez on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 11:56 pm:

    there's other options besides riding..... walking, public transit.

    or going vegetarian. standard american meat consumption has a similar effect to driving a car on the environment.


By Danielssss on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 - 12:25 am:

    buying carbon credits does not seem to be adequate. coming to portland in septmber i think, maybe it is april, i forget. too much travel. pez, why are you not in aforementioned anthyything goes exchange??? just wondering. hope you are well.


By Danielssss on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 - 06:32 pm:

    Hey PEZ: it is April 30 in Vancouver Washington just outside Portland. Will email you the details.


By agatha on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 05:37 pm:

    "That too fucking retarded!, no pun intended."

    I never thought I'd say this, but LOLOL!


By Danielssss on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 05:48 pm:

    uh, agatha? my two email addys for pez no work. but i am going to portland


By agatha on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 07:28 pm:

    In April? Cool! You'll love it. Maybe we can have a mini-sorabjifest- we'll see what's going on at that point in my life. Pez will check in here before April, I'm sure- don't worry.


By Dr Pepper on Thursday, January 29, 2009 - 01:50 am:

    Just got home from work earlier tonight. Sad news, there has been a laid off , just few employee from 6 branches, I had to say "good bye" to our friend, Dan. He was a good guy and he is a reservist. Cause, things has been slow for the last few months.
    I enjoyed my time with the Nintendo ds, and ,Last saturday,I bought a R4 ( A Memory card for NDS), and Enjoyed some downloading games and few other stuff, I am planning on how to load a movie download to my R4 Memory card. I have to learn how to do it.
    As of right now, I am trying to get some sleep, cuz, the last few nights, I couldn't sleep until 5 A.M. Cause the amnesia are causing some of my memories to come back.
    And for now, I am wearing a T-shirt and a short getting ready to sleep.


By Danielssss on Thursday, January 29, 2009 - 02:27 pm:

    just got my travel papers: arriving PDX Wed 4/29 and departing Sun 5/3. Will be at the Hilton Vancouver. On my way to sunny Detroit this afternoon for 26 hours of fun in the snowy sun.

    black wool slacks, joseph Preiss check shirt barbour cashmere sweater, smartwool socks in merrill approach/campside trekkers, eddie bauer vest under Alf all weather jacket, gloves, crocethed multicolor grateful dead skull cap, and I think I will not be warm enough.
    back to stl and more snow tomorrow night.


By heather on Thursday, January 29, 2009 - 04:09 pm:

    AMNESIA!? PEPPER!?


    look, i came back. a sucker is me.


By Spider on Thursday, January 29, 2009 - 05:05 pm:

    I, too, would like to know more about your amnesia, Dr. Pepper. Did you mean insomnia?

    Daniel, you sound well-bundled.


    I am wearing:

    *navy blue socks
    *brown cotton pants
    *white cotton tank top
    *wine-colored silk/cotton v-neck shirt
    *brown wool fair-isle cardigan with white, grey, and wine-colored details and frog(?) closures
    *big bruise on my left palm/wrist area, because I slipped twice on the ice today. :(


By heather on Thursday, January 29, 2009 - 05:23 pm:

    sounds like waning amnesia is causing insomnia. could be the plot of a thriller.

    "my memories are returning... oh god. no."

    i am wearing:
    black skirt of strange construction with millions of tiny snaps
    black blouse/t-shirt thing with funny short sleeves
    knee high boots
    my glasses! i love these glasses


By Danielssss on Thursday, January 29, 2009 - 09:38 pm:

    love those glasses!!! silk!!!!! you have ice in the northeast?

    I may be well bundled but some might say I am rather loosely wrapped.

    Sitting at a window on the 16th floor of a hotel watching the snow come down, hanes whiteys and the same socks, cuz the thermostat in the room was set at 82 and it is 27 snow flurrying degrees outside. the room is finally beginning to cool down after turning the heater off two hours ago. I would be drinking but I am not.

    had some interesting shrimp they called scampi but very truly was not. six shrimp with little chunks of carrots in a heavy heavy heavy garlic creme sauce over linguini. certainly not the scampi I know. Lots of coffee and a thick as dirt on a jeep cheesecake with raspberry sauce. mmm.

    Oh, not wearing any of it, at least externally. lovely decadent place here. decadent meal. decadent mind. decadent Detroit.


By Danielssss on Thursday, January 29, 2009 - 09:39 pm:

    better make that deviant mind.


By Dr Pepper on Friday, January 30, 2009 - 01:47 am:

    I had some fun today, had to leave early tonight, work been slow and i enjoyed some game called "Are you smarter than 5th Grader" . you should of see jeff forxowrthy on screen. I am wearing a short, short sock and sweatshirt getting ready to go to sleep.maybe watch a movie before i doze off.


By moonit on Friday, January 30, 2009 - 02:55 am:

    I am wearing jeans, pink socks and a black shirt. I am about to put on shorts and a t-shirt to do the new circuit my trainer gave me. Its freakin hard, which explains why I am just dicking about here instead...


By Danielssss on Friday, January 30, 2009 - 06:54 pm:

    wearing a frown: no hot water for shower this morning. desk clerk said, oh I'm sorry. Do not, I repeat, do not stay at the old decaying and decadent Riverside Hotel, formerly Sheraton and allegedly to be crown Plaza hotel in downtown Detroit. Could be a site for a zombie conference.

    better yet, don't stay in downtown Detroit.


By Dr Pepper on Saturday, January 31, 2009 - 01:02 am:

    Danielssss, Yeah, I remembered someone told me before I went to Canada. He once said " Stay out of trouble in Detroit", however, I once drove on the highway, just straight to Detroit, It is either I stay on the center or the right, but not the left lane, cause some crazy zombie drove real fast twice the speed. yes, there is alot of decaying building, even few of their traffic light is on, but it never changed the color.


By Danielssss on Saturday, January 31, 2009 - 12:33 pm:

    roll on Doc. I get to Detroit several times a year, a few days at a time, never my favorite place but socially redeemable in certain respects.

    didi you ever get that grammar gene fixed?


By Dr Pepper on Saturday, January 31, 2009 - 01:37 pm:

    Danielssss, I forgot about one things: when is the zombie conference that will takes places in detroit? Just let me know. ok?


By heather on Sunday, February 1, 2009 - 01:08 pm:

    detroit is always full of zombies now, they don't bother with the conference.

    detroit is a place only a mother could love. or a child.

    pepper, so insomnia? amnesia? what gives?


By Dr Pepper on Sunday, February 1, 2009 - 05:58 pm:


By Dr Pepper on Monday, February 2, 2009 - 01:01 am:


By sarah on Monday, February 2, 2009 - 02:45 pm:


    i don't know what you people are talking about. Detroit is charming.




By Danielssss on Monday, February 2, 2009 - 03:16 pm:

    charming, but cold. and mostly boarded up.


By Dr Pepper on Tuesday, February 3, 2009 - 02:55 am:

    sarah, when was the last time you visited detroit?


By Danielssss on Tuesday, February 3, 2009 - 11:21 pm:

    detroit is simply ahead of the wave: it's coming to your town too. Unemployment and the rest. where is the economic stimuli for the individual and families affected? we've got the formula wrong: helping Big Brother corporate amerika who got us into trouble in the first place will not solve the problem.

    I am more hopeful with this administration but are we not seeing more of the same?


By heather on Wednesday, February 4, 2009 - 01:48 am:

    detroit was 40 years ahead of the wave?


By Danielssss on Wednesday, February 4, 2009 - 12:41 pm:

    well, they did burn it down in the sixties: I remember that. It has not had much of a comeback. I was in Rochester when they burned that city down too, and Eastman Kodak certainly is a shadow of what it once was. But big foundary and big manufacturing have all left not just the town but the states entirely...so it seems...for shores of China's cheaper labor and less environmental concern. We have simply given all the dirty work to places allegedly that don't matter and can pollute at will...rather than fixing the problem..
    . Detroit today is what all of US cities will be ... once the economy plummets, and it is doing just that. Hold onto your urban hats. Find some common ground and start a garden, buy toilet paper and detergent while you can still get them and afford them. In five years, unless Obama et al and you and me can turn this thing around, even if you have money, there will be nothing to buy from the Chinese, in whose debt we will become indentured servants. Nothing against the chinese here, just the facts of a deficit totally incomprehensible.

    I am wearing my NRA PAX UBER ALLIS shirt, with an ammo belt. Swinging through the frigid trees.


By Dr Pepper on Wednesday, February 4, 2009 - 02:38 pm:

    I hated chinese crap, it is turning everything into garbage, and chinese violated the copyright of the products that we American made the products that said"Made in America". Damn that chinese people!!!


By heather on Wednesday, February 4, 2009 - 07:01 pm:

    daniel, that is total alarmist bullshit


By Danielssss on Thursday, February 5, 2009 - 05:06 pm:

    forgive me but it is accurate and not bullshit, all except the NRA shirt.. I made that up..it's the thread, you know...

    We have pushed industry to third world countries where there is less control or care of the environmental damage that heavy industry wreaks. We --western consumerism -- have wrecked the nature beauty and abundance of China, polluted streams and laid waste whole contrysides. The damage to China in particular as they've embraced western capitalism and industry is overwhelmingly alarming, yes.

    China does not make crap, Doc, at least anymore than Arkansas -- or Detroit -- used to make crap. But Detroit "in a market economy" would not need a bailout if they manufactured something we wanted to buy. I am talking about the environmental and social damage, the pleasure of living well on this side of the planet at the cost of destroying another side.

    The unemployed in downtown Detroit like other cities throughout the western world would work if there were jobs. But, Jobs are not located there, rather in areas where the western world can exploit human and natural resources. In the global ecomony, we in the west are eventually and soon going to be the loser. In Cuba, everyone has a productive garden and some chickens, shrunk wrap factory farmed poisoned meat does not exist. FDA? Get real.

    Forget about the economy, we ought to be concerned about the water and the air in a global sense. And may be the food chain.

    And I do believe the economy is tanking, badly, and the water is getting bad, and the air is suffering (and will suffer with this bullshit clean coal lie), and the shrunk wrapped and gassed food is unfit for human or animal consumption. And the heavy industry of Detroit has suffered because they have not produced a product that Americans want to buy, for years, except the suv market, which, well enuf said.

    I WAS in Detroit and I WAS in Rochester, and (NO I didn't go to the Vietnam War but I remember the war years vividly, and their stateside violence affected me profoundly and personally)...my family has recently been in poverty stricken Thailand, traumatized Cambodia, over industrialized Japan, and in denial Hong Kong, as well as Beijing and other struggling to keep it together parts of rural mainland China. My son's Christmas 2007 wish list was for chickens for some families in Thailand.

    No I am not an alarmist but a realist. I'm not stuck in academic ivory towers but on the road (polluting the air with plane travel I might add) at least once monthly all over the country,to this lovely place we call home for a few years. I'm not watching some propaganda on the weather channel but relying on first hand reports that would curl your pretty hair. And there is a stream in China outside Bejing that if you'd rinse your glasses with the water, it would melt the plastic.

    to be fair, I have regained in the last quarter 2008 the one per cent of my 40% + investment loss over Jan-Oct 2008.

    We, and I am as guilty as the rest, caused this problem, and pushed it out of sight. What don't we understand about these bailouts and deficits? Why should heads of floundering firms get bonuses for losing and mismanaging our money?

    What is totally alarmist bullshit is that the FDA can protect us from corporate American food and pharma.

    Take your pick. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.


By heather on Thursday, February 5, 2009 - 06:02 pm:

    i wasn't talking about the environment or the rich getting richer or anything else that has pretty much always been true.

    i meant this:
    In five years, unless Obama et al and you and me can turn this thing around, even if you have money, there will be nothing to buy from the Chinese, in whose debt we will become indentured servants. Nothing against the chinese here, just the facts of a deficit totally incomprehensible.


    all the fucking drama is making everything worse.

    our historical memory is so very short and twisted and our idea of what "debt" is is for the most part wrong.


By Danielssss on Thursday, February 5, 2009 - 07:02 pm:

    I agree wholeheartedly with your last statement. And yes, the drama on Wall Street and on 102 Direct TV News Mix take your pick of political pundits and especially, especially the divinely corrupted tv monitors in the gaddam airports, the drama: let's take Dr. Andrew Weil's advice and turn it all off.

    I do believe, without a shred of cycnicism or drama, that IF things don't turn around, and Main Street does not get helped (I like Nate's proposal of splitting the trillions of usd bailouts among the populace), the sand hills of Nebraska are going to look like paradise to anarchy-minded. The rest of humanity will be swept away in violence, possibly very cold weather, no drama intended.

    Interesting you mention the 'debt' word again. It does have an interesting Aramaic meaning as in "Forgive us our debts" and a totally different meaning from current usage. What do you mean "for the most part wrong?"

    I think the chinese people are just like us: hard working people desireous of life liberty and happiness. It's the governments that are screwey. Obama brings us at least some hope.


By J on Friday, February 6, 2009 - 01:05 am:

    We don't even have gold to back up our money anymore,I feel like the goverment is printing monopoly money.


By Dr Pepper on Friday, February 6, 2009 - 07:06 am:

    J, as long as the government are minting the wooden nickel too.... :-)


By Danielssss on Saturday, February 7, 2009 - 11:52 am:

    "debt" in Aramaic: = hidden past, secrets, forbidden acts

    .....

    seems to suit the governments of several countries, ours included. One of my more well to do friends says that the gold standard is not so important, especially as it contributed to the fall in the 1929 crash and such, albeit this interpretation is from his parents.

    Me, I would use a chocolate standard.

    okay so I killed this thread back in February...before most of the bailout fall out and plitical swindling became public, and here it is august and what....we sit back and let the rich get richer, poor poorer, sick sicker...and the uninsured stay that way.

    I wonder if the market is going to tank yet again within 60 days. I would not be surprised. It is a historical fact, thi riding the wave of resurgence, which has repeated itself at least three times in the US economy.

    Tell me, is any one out there thinking that things are getting economically better, that we are rebounding?
    Get ready for a larger crash than the past 18 months.

    Or, we simply can ignore this thread all together.

    Hey how bout them americans?

    oh yes, wearing blue polo short sleeve with black wool slacks, glasses, the eccos lace ups and smart wool again. And some chocolate icing.

    it took my artifact of a computer a full minute to load this thread. there's no way i'd join any discussion on it. you could try to start a new thread. but unless it was about babies or food, you'd probably be shit out of luck.

    i'm wearing a pair of tighty whities. nada mas. it's 82 in my apartment, any more clothing and i'd be sweating profusely.

    black cotton skirt with a pocket in the front, yellow vneck tshirt with a pinapple and mango sketch. plaid panties, the unsexiest nursing bra ever. that's it.

    sarah.. plaid panties? that is odd one i ever heard also are you referring panties as in plural?

    I really hate the word panties.

    I'm wearing black doc marten boots - but not the skinhead steel cap ones, stylish zip up slight heely ones. Black pants. Black stretchy top, black long cardi over top. For colour I added a pinky red necklace that looks like lollies.

    Oh, man, so do I! Underpants, yes. Panties, no. I can barely type that word, it troubles me so much.

    I'm wearing plaid pajama pants and a brown v-neck.

    what's the matter with panties? underpants are what 6 year old boys wear.

    I'm with you, sarah.

    i was wearing bikini briefs over the weekend. the woman, still in bed, said "I love it when you wear your panties...."

    I had to correct her that men dont wear panties. even if there is shape in common.

    has everyone had some what of an evolution in the underwear realm? as a teen i wore boxers. thats because i could ditch the pants and have instant lounge around the house garb.

    then that first lady i was with in my 20s told me that boxer briefs were sexy. being the whore that i am, made the switch to boxer briefs and rocked those out for the 8 years or so. In recent years I slimmed down to regular briefs. CK only though. recently on a whim i picked up some bikini briefs much to the womans liking and subsequently mine. they hug the junk quite nicely. im afraid those really obnoxios and homeoerotic jock strap underwear things popular with gay men is right around the corner.




By Danielssss on Tuesday, August 25, 2009 - 07:13 pm:

    there is nothing brief about my briefs.


By platypus on Tuesday, August 25, 2009 - 07:49 pm:

    I guess I'm a six year old boy, because I'm an underpants gal, all the way. The "p" word gives me the heebie jeebies.

    I haven't noticed much of an underwear evolution since my teenage years; I used to wear basic low-rise cotton underpants, had a brief flirtation with skanky underwear, and then settled back into basic low-rise underpants (silk, ah the joys of increased buying power!).

    However, no tale of underwear past is complete without a transcription of the following note my teacher sent home to my father in the second grade:

    "Please tell your daughter to start wearing underpants, or to stop using the swings."


By moonit on Tuesday, August 25, 2009 - 09:14 pm:

    hahah. boys were undies, girls wear knickers. or undies.


By Danielssss on Tuesday, August 25, 2009 - 10:50 pm:

    ah tales of the swingset!!!!
