Jude's Judgmental Jugular Jab and Jibber Jabbery Random Banter #115

[Player_Zero]

Ahh... reading week.
And a quiet Fryday evening with some 85%-cocoa chocolate, green tea, and a lap warmed by the gentle purring of my computer.

What's the good word, my dear banterers? What Fryday news?

News? There's nothing new. In addition, I get no reading week, so I hope you die. Besides from that, it is 5AM and I'm in that state of cognition wherein you think going for a walk in the freezing cold might be a good idea, or that melting butter onto your cereal might be revolutionary.

Also, what is love?

Baby, don't hurt me.

Don't hurt me.

No moARRRRAGGHHHH!!!

Medic!

*appears*
Someone called for a medic?

[Kneenibble]

Melting butter on anything is pretty revolutionary.

You hope I die?
That is a horribly intimate sentiment.

[Rutskarn]

*appears*
Someone called for a medic?

Yes. Yes, I did.

What I need you to do is, I need you to heal me a little, then turn around and face the wall. Just take a short break. A...very...short break.

[UncleWolf]

I have a better idea.

It involves a red candle, a piece of string, and a pair of scissors.

If you don't want to opt for that, I guess I could just heal you.

How about 36 hours of non-stop flights and layovers?(happened 4 times!)

I had a Thursday that lasted 48 hours.(Happened only twice, and the second time was only about 30 hours and a Monday).

Been there, done that. For more amusing travel stories, check out my novel, Beyond the Black Stump.

Out of curiosity, to which locations did you travel, wolfy?

[Recaiden]

Since he's undead, wouldn't that kill destroy him? Why do you people fly so much?

My father was in the military and we were stationed in South Korea for two years. After the first year, we were able to take a vacation back to the US, and as we crossed the International Dateline, we ended up living the same day over again. And the same thing happened when we returned for good.

I am now 2 days older than I am supposed to be.

Other than that, I've lived in the states for the rest of my life. New Jersey, Maryland, Hawaii(too young to remember), Illinois, and Missouri are the states where I've actually lived at.

Good morning everyone. How are you all today?

[Lyesmith]

Annoyed.
1) it's commercial love day
2) Timezones irritate the hell outta me
3) I couldnt get anybody to place money on "Emohair and his latest girl will break up in a week", and they broke up like, last night.
4) I got yelled at for betting on the (failing) love-lives of those around me by some self-righteous hoebag who makes hi-larious cancer jokes.
5) Just generally, really.
6) Also certain people need to get MSN.

Completely agree with the first two. The 3rd and 4th are funny. 5th is usual isn't it? 6th, I had trouble logging in earlier. I'm logged on now though.

Phaedra's Thought of the Day 1: Companies form webs of ownership designed to make it difficult for me, personally, to determine who precisely owns who.

Phaedra's Thought of the Day 2: Annual Reports are dull.

Phaedra's Thought of the Day 3: Reading said reports is not the best way to spend any weekend and is certainly lacking romance on Valentine's Day.

Correct, correct and correct.
At least you have someone to spend Valentine's Day with. That's something I suppose.

1)Completely agree.
2)Hell yeah! Destroy the timezones!
4) Now that´s just mean. Yelling at you, I mean.
5) o.0
6) Totally!

Wow. These bagels are nice. Like, for non-Jewish bakery bagels, they're like, amazing. Last week when we acquired a batch, I ate many. I fear today may well be the same.
And how'd my room get so messy? I only tidied it a few days ago. Meh-BLEH! The tiresomesauce of things not being perfect is certainly grating on a superficial interior-design level...

Mmmmmm, baguels.
And clearing your room is tiresome, tiresome indeed. Which is why I try to keep it tidy so that I don't have to clean it.

I am debating the merits of attempting to return to bed and try to sleep. I only got about 4.5 hours (I'd guess), but the likelihood of actually getting back to sleep is slim. So, of course, I am posting and lookinf at the Forum, rather than lay down and try to sleep....


This is counter-productive to my ultimate goal of being rested.

Quite right there. Although you'd think it possible, I have never fallen asleep and bashed my head off of my laptop.

I would suggest that, rather than posting here, you go back, and lie in bed, or on a couch/sofa, perhaps reading something, maybe with a hot drink.

Yep, Kaelaroth knows best methinks.

So I tried. I really did. For three hours. Unfortunately also present were a snoring husband and noisy baby.

So, on to Plan B: Lots and lots of coffee...

Ah well, sometimes life just decides to stay put like a stubborn five year old kid.

Ignoring Fred's comment there, let's examine another option, because you can kick that child's head in. Life, that is, not your baby. Obviously.
Earplugs? Earmuffs? Summut?!

[EmeraldRose]

Too late...the in laws will be arriving in half an hour with the older noisy kid, and then sticking around for a few hours at least. So, coffee it is, and maybe I'll be able to lock the boys out with their dad and nap later today...

[Recaiden]

what? @^ I hope so. I wish I had one of Kaela's bagels.

*hangs head in shame*
I recently nommed another one.

[Trog]

*flutters in and stabbities the thread with his shaft of love!*

... wait... that came out wrong.

Eh, picture should explain it. *shrug*

[Fawkes]

*stabbities the thread with his own shaft of love*

Aw, yeah.

[Fredthefighter]

A lot of people would giggle at this, I merely see this as a miscommunication, nothing to laugh about.
Also, I tried working with Valentine's day and it didn't work, so thanks but no thanks.
