My life today

How is your life going today? What have you been doing? What are you doing right now? What's on your mind?

~terry Sun, Dec 8, 1996 (18:07) #1

I'ts pretty good except for getting ambushed by fourway on Electric Minds.

Rambling can include your life today. Rambling is anything. Your life today is more specific. You're right on topic.

I'm with Ricky Lee- why not another hour or two? Finals looming next week, the GRE's this saturday. How about a back button on time? Holidays? Oh, yeah. Those too. Well, in for a dime... Looking forward to a respite out on the homestead. No alarm clock, deadlines, fighting traffic or the bureaucracy. Peace (and quiet) on earth!

~drymartini Sat, Dec 28, 1996 (17:31) #7

How did you get ambushed, ? I suppose I could wander over to EM and look for signs of the violent deed, such as blood and brains splattered about. But it could be dangerous over there, and discretion is the better part of valor. Or is it velour-- I get those mixed up. Or is it DISCUSSION is the better part of valor? (In The Fray, it really is.)

~terry Sat, Dec 28, 1996 (17:53) #8

Well, about 20 of my topics were deleted but that was quite a while back. I've pretty much forgotten about it.

~hummie Fri, Jun 20, 1997 (16:55) #9

there were ambushes on eMinds, yes. nonetheless: i remember the GRE tests. they were awful. i took three of them on the same day because i disliked them so much. don't EVER do that! it was a horrible mistake. my brain was full of peanut butter when i got done. i did,however, manage to find a question on the test that was mis-written; and so i argued with educational testing service about it until they yielded. long time ago, that...

~mikeg Fri, Jul 18, 1997 (21:02) #10

Well... I feel like sharing my thoughts with people at the moment, which happens sometimes...I'm in an odd mood and have been for quite a few days. Does anyone find it odd that I should still dream about a girl whom I haven't been involved with for over two years? Do I have a problem when I serve someone a bottle of "Castaway" in the bar and remember her?

~terry Sat, Jul 19, 1997 (14:58) #11

No that's normal. You may have had a strong attraction for her.

~mikeg Sat, Jul 19, 1997 (21:09) #12

But it's such *old news*. It seems that it occurs when I'm lonely, which isn't very helpful. Surely I should be reaching out for my current girlfriend (my fiancee, for goodness sake!) and not someone who I haven't even seen for years...

~terry Sat, Jul 19, 1997 (23:25) #13

That sounds right. You should be. But every now and then there are those flashbacks. I had a flashback on Helen Huth from high school today.

~mikeg Sat, Jul 19, 1997 (23:39) #14

But I'm not, which is a problem...

~aubrey Thu, Jul 24, 1997 (15:34) #15

It happens. Comes and goes. Not pleasant, necessarily, not what you want, probably, but there is just no way to tell your mind what to think. Not that it's any help! sorry...

~terry Fri, Jul 25, 1997 (10:37) #16

So how are you? Gosh, glad you're back with us.

~KitchenManager Sat, Oct 11, 1997 (23:39) #17

It's actually the second day in a week that I've read postings and replied since I managed to make it back again. Maybe I can stay for awhile this time. WER

~terry Wed, Oct 15, 1997 (14:30) #20

Wow, that would be super, kitchenmanager!

~KitchenManager Fri, Nov 7, 1997 (02:03) #21

Every day is becoming the kind where I'd prefer being on death row to being where I am. Except that I'd miss my little girl terribly. WER

~terry Fri, Nov 7, 1997 (08:07) #22

Oh, that sounds too grim. Are you being real?

~KitchenManager Sat, Nov 8, 1997 (01:53) #23

Unfortunately, you'd be correct, sir. WER

~terry Sat, Nov 8, 1997 (10:14) #24

So, are things better today. I'm a psychic ya know. Let me look into my crystal ball. I see.. I see... you've been reading the Chronicle.

~KitchenManager Sat, Nov 8, 1997 (11:20) #25

Me?

~stacey Mon, Nov 10, 1997 (13:31) #26

Hey you morbid fool! Don't do the dirty deed that gets you sent to death row before I come meet you (and collect my tiramisu!). What's so shitty about the days lately? Work? Home? You don'

Response #450 is too big (last 27)

~KitchenManager Fri, Dec 11, 1998 (11:31) #29

ooh, strange days around here...

~wolf Fri, Dec 11, 1998 (11:40) #30

~KitchenManager Fri, Dec 11, 1998 (11:44) #31

Yea, Wolf!

~KitchenManager Sun, Jan 17, 1999 (14:18) #32

got on a trampoline for the first time today... finally got the kid's Christmas present put together!

~PT Wed, Jan 20, 1999 (21:41) #33

Nothing like a little procrastination.

~KitchenManager Sat, Jan 23, 1999 (14:52) #34

except, maybe, a lot of procrastination!

~aa9il Mon, Feb 15, 1999 (16:14) #35

I plan on giving up procrastination tomorrow... Mike aka _cosmo_

~wer Thu, Apr 1, 1999 (16:19) #36

I'm tired...

~wolf Thu, Apr 1, 1999 (19:04) #37

me,too!

~aschuth Thu, Apr 8, 1999 (15:39) #38

I've been cranky and generally a miserable experience to all people today, I'm afraid. Hope I catch a better one tommorrow. See yall next week.

~KitchenManager Thu, Apr 8, 1999 (20:10) #39

bye!!! hurry back!!!

~aschuth Sat, Apr 10, 1999 (13:34) #40

Ok, here I am! And feel better, too (and nicer!)!

~KitchenManager Sat, Apr 10, 1999 (13:49) #41

then share your secrets, man!

~aschuth Mon, Apr 12, 1999 (14:27) #42

(I did, but it didn't submit properly. It does that often to me. Whenever I write something really nice, it doesn't work. When it doesn't work several times in a row, I get upset. And then I get even more irritated when I notice that I wanted to reply to one of you gentle creatures in a very friendly way, BUT BY THEN AM WAY TOO MAD FOR THAT! So, and then I abort the whole enterprise, and be very sad, and do my daily chores...)

~KitchenManager Tue, Apr 13, 1999 (00:14) #43

deja vu

~aschuth Tue, Apr 13, 1999 (12:07) #44

I have a headache. The sun shines, and the sky is blue. Not everything I tried today worked out. Something I didn't expect to work did, though.

~stacey Tue, Apr 13, 1999 (13:20) #45

tell us tell us!! (so we can bask in the glory of unexpected success with you!)

~aschuth Tue, Apr 13, 1999 (13:41) #46

It's a thing I used to actively promote, I even had a nice -ism for it, wait, what was it? Possibly something like constructo-pragmatic pessimism. Expect that stuff doesn't work. If it does, tell 'em, "Well, I always said it would!". If not, use the same phrase. Saves you a large vocabulary... Might put some people off, too...

~stacey Tue, Apr 13, 1999 (15:53) #47

and your success??? putting people off with a large vocabulary (it didn't work, Alexander. I still wanna know!)

~KitchenManager Tue, Apr 13, 1999 (21:00) #48

ditto

~aschuth Wed, Apr 14, 1999 (16:24) #49

Weeell, I grew up, and weaned out of it. That's it. I used to be declaring myself as dogmatic undogmatic (with some very fine moves and styles that really threw folks off my track). Still, didn't get ME anywhere. Painted myself in corners, perhaps. What a sad sight. These days, I've progressed beyond these limits and programmes. As a Neo-Pragmatic Post-Postmodern Man, I don't need ideologies anymore.

~stacey Wed, Apr 14, 1999 (17:14) #50

and???

~jgross Wed, Apr 14, 1999 (21:34) #51

and.....what was the "Something I didn't expect to work did, though." that happened way back on Tuesday? We never found out. You took a dump and it all went in the toilet this time? (yeah, yeah, pretty gross....but then that's who i am) [still, i need to tryyyyyy and start getting past it....i needs to get over myself.....maybe i is toooo self-absorbed.....] ok, how 'bout this: Alexander, you are so playful in the way you say things you sound like tons of fun like someone i'd really like to be around the way you can be funny and quirky and curious i dig seein' what yer angle is on stuff and your sharp edges are soft and involving i just like you you're really great for Spring your presence is felt and it feels so good how's that? it was just a practice exercise. if it sounded like flattery, then i failed once again ---it needs more work, huh?

~aschuth Thu, Apr 15, 1999 (12:17) #52

Huh, hard stuff. There's some ooze drippin' off me. I guess it's that ektoplasmatic slime from relay-smooching me. Ought to teach me. Something. Just what? Hey, no need to bullshit me, or try to kid me or fool me or make fun of me. Anything of this, I can do better than you myself! I can even do it by means of preemptive first strike! Try me, at six at the bridge! Or at noon on Main Street... Or here: http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/screwed/157 ! Self-Combustion Before Dishonor! (Hot here! Ooops, guess my head's on fire again!)

~stacey Thu, Apr 15, 1999 (13:07) #53

*cackle* *cackle* *cackle* the dueling wordsmiths!!! I got some great visual imagery going on here!

~aschuth Thu, Apr 15, 1999 (13:18) #54

Yo, Monsieur Le Plep - what record do we play to accompany this?

~KitchenManager Thu, Apr 15, 1999 (14:18) #55

~KitchenManager Thu, Apr 15, 1999 (14:19) #56

may I suggest The Lost Boys soundtrack?

~stacey Thu, Apr 15, 1999 (14:20) #57

(thinking back, thinking back... ) can't quite remember...

~jgross Thu, Apr 15, 1999 (22:32) #58

hey, how �bout this but no one might be interested in actually doin' it (not that it matters) but here it is anyway (it's the thot that counts): with a sound card, microphone, and sound-mixing shareware of some kind obtained somewhere off the net (where?), and whatever else is needed to make sound files, each of us could: take the self-made sound (hopefully including some of their own voice) someone emails us and add our own sound to it..... the self-made sound can be our own voice and/or our own instrument-playing and/ or not our own sounds (but our own mix/dub/sample of some record) and we could mix lightly over another person's sound (adding background to it that doesn't obstruct....but adds to....the other's sound). collaborative non-duelling sound editing it is is it it is. mmm, never done it myself..... plus, don't have a microphone, or sound-mixing software, or sound card wait a minute, what'd i do with my legs, my lucky tongue, my brain.....? .......�fraid all (of me) is lost i'm useless

~KitchenManager Fri, Apr 16, 1999 (02:06) #59

do you have a non-lucky tongue, too? it is an interesting idea...

~aschuth Fri, Apr 16, 1999 (07:17) #60

Great idea, but too much work perhaps... I'm still thinking on how to properly get some output of my stereo into a PC to do .mp3 files of e.g. our radio shows (instead of sending tapes around). And I got no clue! Anybody got a hint?

~stacey Fri, Apr 16, 1999 (13:07) #61

Hint: get a clue first

~aschuth Fri, Apr 16, 1999 (14:19) #62

(Well, of course I know that - it's just my clue fell behind the kitchen cupboard, and I need a hint to pull it out... Silly girl!)

~stacey Fri, Apr 16, 1999 (17:08) #63

is it stuck back there withthe cherry marmalade you dropped yesterday?? uh oh.

~aschuth Sat, Apr 17, 1999 (06:48) #64

Exactly. Now, WOULD YOU PLEASE hand me that hint over there, so I can get at my clue (which - no big surprise - is all sticky by now, I bet...)!

~stacey Mon, Apr 19, 1999 (10:44) #65

HINT: nope. it's the other one.

~mikeg Mon, Apr 19, 1999 (16:23) #66

today i found out that i have to go for a *third* interview for this bloody job. And unfortunately it's not a good third interview, it's a "spotted something they didn't like the second time so we'll get him back so we're sure we want to reject him" third interview. Such is life :)

~aschuth Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (09:38) #67

~stacey Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (09:54) #68

feeling kinda blank today Alexander?

~aschuth Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (14:02) #69

.

~stacey Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (14:05) #70

blank, period. ?

~aschuth Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (14:14) #71

!?

~stacey Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (14:19) #72

excitement over anticipated question???

~aschuth Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (14:27) #73

Naw, slight headache. Blandness. Frustration.

~stacey Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (14:33) #74

aww. sorry.

~aschuth Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (14:44) #75

Thanks. Any news on the Kosovo? Didn't get any news today.

~stacey Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (16:43) #76

same bad shit...

~ratthing Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (16:56) #77

alexander, sorry to hear yourfeeling down. i am kind of down myself today but it is not too bad.

~stacey Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (17:19) #78

sad that Fiesta's over Ray??

~stacey Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (17:41) #79

I'm all freaked out about random acts of extreme violence now.

~ratthing Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (18:01) #80

as well you should be. that story freaked me out too! and i am sad about not being in san antonio!

~stacey Tue, Apr 20, 1999 (18:08) #81

~aschuth Wed, Apr 21, 1999 (04:40) #82

But Corpus CHristi ain't too bad - though San An is much nicer...

~ratthing Wed, Apr 21, 1999 (10:47) #83

still in corpus. just sux being away from home!

~stacey Wed, Apr 21, 1999 (12:55) #84

sad life today. sometimes it sucks right in your home.

~ratthing Wed, Apr 21, 1999 (16:22) #85

whats wrong, stacey?

~aschuth Wed, Apr 21, 1999 (17:09) #86

Involves her area, guns and no hardrock in a school.

~stacey Wed, Apr 21, 1999 (19:31) #87

Littleton, Colorado is where I live. Those children that were shot and killed were children of people I work with and shop with and goto the gym with and eat at restaurants with and see on the bike paths and at the movies. This is my home and something really horrible just happened in my backyard (literally)

~mikeg Wed, Apr 21, 1999 (19:33) #88

ah my god :-(((((((((((((

~aschuth Thu, Apr 22, 1999 (05:56) #89

Hmh, my newspaper is not so hot on Littleton, Colorado news. Where to find more info?

~ratthing Thu, Apr 22, 1999 (10:47) #90

yes. i had asked that question before i heard what was going on. i hope you and your firends are ok, stacey. we're here for you.

~aschuth Thu, Apr 22, 1999 (14:56) #91

~mikeg Sat, Apr 24, 1999 (10:08) #92

~aschuth Sat, Apr 24, 1999 (10:19) #93

I am! Mail me what company, pls. (just curious, know some people in financial IT, esp. in Investment Banking). Big boy, eh! Now you gotta buy yer mates a round, no?

~mikeg Sat, Apr 24, 1999 (11:34) #94

too right, alexander! i finally get to spend lots of money on my friends, which is something that i really enjoy doing at the moment (but my bank manager just *hates* it right now) and not worry about it! oh, by the way, the bank is Nomura International, PLC. http://www.nomura.com/

~ratthing Sat, Apr 24, 1999 (12:24) #95

mike! great news!

~KitchenManager Sat, Apr 24, 1999 (13:18) #96

Congrats, Mike! ...money, money, money...

~stacey Tue, Apr 27, 1999 (14:17) #97

congrats Mike! I hope you LOVE the job!

~mikeg Thu, May 6, 1999 (17:05) #98

today i had an interview with one of the toppest guys in the City IT field. good to have him know my face and like me. then i had lunch with an agent who has turned out to be a very nice person and whom I hope will become a good friend. An unexpected and very welcome phone call from my girlfriend and some dinner rounds off today.

~wolf Thu, May 6, 1999 (17:15) #99

like what kind of agent? am glad your day has gone so well!!

~stacey Thu, May 6, 1999 (17:49) #100

are you still interviewing for a job??? Or was this part of the job you were mentioning earlier?
