So, I hate karaoke. Hate it. But i lost a bet recently, and I have to sing this Glenn Frey song while alternately saying "I MISS HER SO MUCH," and "I STILL LOVE HER." I am going to be shitbird drunj when i do this. Yes, i meant to spell it drunj in this case. A whole new level of drunj.
OK everyone, I feel like you all should know I'm a nerd. Nowhere close to jock. Anyways, time for me to log off, sniff some glue, fight w/ a stuffed Ewok, and pass out in my own filth. Hope to see you soon!
Oh man, the NBA just got way better next year. Ricky Rubio just declared for the NBA draft. Please come to the Knicks. Please. I need to see the Knicks get a top 2 pick so they can draft either Griffin or Rubio.
@LittleWaynesBleedingHead: Like varsity player in hs who happen to take a few honors classes or guy who was way into star wars but also knows how to play sports... One of these answers will bum me out!
What to talk about....hmmmmm....Do you guys ever imagine that Jim Hill and Rick Fox are in a gay relationship when commenting on the game?...oh wait... that's just me....darn
@businessorleisure: Yeah, there is a difference of looks in that relationship.. they're just so touchy-feely during the game, it's hard for me not to think that way
Alright DUAN!, situation. I am a bartender one night a week (tonight was the night) and there was what I first thought to be a couple at the bar. Then I realized the guy was like 60 and the girl was like 32. Then when he went to the bathroom and she told me that he is her boss, they are in town on business from Milwaukee. Still every time I walk by, their conversations seem to be about his sexual exploits (yes bartenders listen to your conversations). Throughout the night she was mildly flirting, letting me know she was staying in a hotel nearby, and they were the last two people in the bar, so I had to lock up behind them, and when they left I slipped her my number... so should I be disappointed that I sit here typing this to you or should I not really care. It's still a shot at the ego when you don't get the call.
@Ugueth Urbina's Machete: You know, I never flirted with a bartender because I felt that was an inappropriate breach of our professional relationship (I give him money, he gets me drunk).
@siandt: It's true, if you're hot, and you flirt, you are probably getting a free (strong) drink. Not even to try and hook up with you later, but cause drunk girls are funny.
@Ugueth Urbina's Machete: Ha. I'm actually in NYC, so I could probably walk down the street and find an open bar. I, however, have to get up at a reasonable hour.
@siandt: See, that's why I was able to close at 1am, I work and live out on Long Island, although my bar is in a town where there are a large number of bars in a small radius, so I am sure I could have went out after work still.
@Ugueth Urbina's Machete: Maybe she was doing it because she felt uncomfortable with her boss telling her all these sleazy stories at a bar, and this was her way of diffusing awkwardness between them? I dunno. Either that or she just liked attention.
@Ailanthus-altissima: I think it's weird when bartenders go out of their way to hit on girls. I've certainly flirted my way into getting free drinks and numbers and whatnot from them, but every time the bartender initiates it I just get kinda creeped out. I think it is that weird breach of professionalism - and if something's gonna go down, I want to at least feel like I was the one who broke him down and he's not going around doing this every night. You know?
@businessorleisure: At this hour, I think it's reasonable to assume the NYC folks are asleep, not thinking about bars. Meet me, insomniac and alcoholic.
@Schmalerie: Well, if I was looking for something, I wouldn't care about how much he does it, because he's, presumably, excruciatingly hot. All I know is that he is fueling my good time, but I'm pretty much always there to dance with ladies or to say wildly inappropriate things to the guy I'm with.
Hi, everyone, I'm back. Slightly more sober and just about done with my essay. I know I should finish and go to bed (that's what she said), but I needed a break. Fuck copyright law.
@Cesybabe or Nirvanah Crane: Our topic this time was fair use, but we got to pick the case. I picked Perfect 10 v. Visa, so at least it was entertaining. Frivolous doesn't even begin to describe it.
@TattooedMess(iah): Ah frivolous cases. My submission is on electoral law, and there is an issue relating to political parties handing out balloons to children. Who can't vote. Some people really have too much time on their hands.
And so we enter the stage in the evening where it's only me and the other west coasters remaining. Is there anybody out there? Just nod if you can hear me.
@White Speed Receiver: Exactly the same situation - should be sleeping, still working from the kitchen table. I persevere and hold out for hope of the 3% inflation raise. Yourself?
@White Speed Receiver: I've been weighing that same consideration, though on the heels of a newborn it is probably a bad idea. Far less stressful, though. We've staved off salaried cuts so far, at least, so I know I am much luckier than most.
@JB*: Yeah, it's bad enough having to re-introduce yourself to the significant other on April 16th. I can only imagine how much fun it would be to throw kids and school in there.
We let go of a healthy mix of youth and experience today. 2 people with less than 5 years experience and 2 people with more than 10. Interesting times.
And with that, it's time for me to crash. Good night, Jezebels and Spinheads.
Are there any athletic things you participate in, but do not watch? I like to ride my bicycle (bicycle, bicycle...), but I would never watch anything like the Tour de France.
@Orange and Palindromic: But how athletic is that? I mean, it gets your bicep good and big, but how about your stamina?
@Arsenio Billingham: I learned a trick for competitive eating - practice by eating pounds of grapes. I do not think I will enter competitive eating any time soon.
Also, out of curiosity, what are you guys wearing.... I KID... srsly, what are you guys listening to? My ipod is on shuffle and "Baby Baby Baby" by TLC is playing.
@MarissaExplainsItAll: I'm wearing a cat, listening to ESPN Radio. It's mostly background noise right now, but occasionally they say something I'm interested in.
@MarissaExplainsItAll: I can't get "Give it to me" by Madonna out of my head and it's making me want to gouge my brain out, if that counts.
@lollier: Yes, it is terrible. I was really rooting for him at first, but it pretty clear now that he just doesn't have the chops for this. He's not smart and witty enough, to be honest. It really makes me sad when I see ?uestlove just scowling the whole time, too. Poor guys.
@MarissaExplainsItAll: Muse, Muse and more Muse is on my iTunes right now. Should be doing an essay, but sneaking out and seeing how the boys do it is so much more interesting.
@MarissaExplainsItAll: Mine is at final draft stage. I sent off to my friend to be edited, she was just about to hit save to send it back to me, and she lost it. It just disappeared. This makes me sad, as I hate editing. So I'm just casting dirty glances at it, trying to make it edit itself.
@MarissaExplainsItAll: So do I. But we must remember they are sports jocks. Lovable, well spoken ones, but nonetheless, sports jocks. So I'm getting some David Boreanaz vibes. But I may have just watched Bones.
