The Time Game!

[Stanislaw]

Here is an old game revisited: :D

All ye have to do is state the time it is(where ye be) and what you are doing at that moment.


00:45 - And I am trying to get to sleep

[Jay]

18:24 or 6:24pm; I am trying to leave the library though I don't really want to.

Stan, when you're trying to get to sleep... try doing it in bed ;)... well, if you don't own a laptop and don't intend to sleep on top of it once you've fallen asleep ;)

[shortysweetp]

12:11 watching jojo's circus on disney with my 2 year daughter fun stuff :)

[papayahed]

12:36 pm. I'm at a seminar for hazardous waste regulations, I'm on my lunch break and the hotel has a business center with free internet access. So I'm checking email and passing time until the class starts again.

[lhaeber]

11:05 a.m. I'm debating whether or not to walk my dog, he's staring at me...It's raining lightly yet there's loads of sun in the sky.

[amuse]

2:20 p.m. sitting in the computer lab, chatting with the tech. class in a few minutes.

[mono]

11:44 am - just finished school for the day, waiting for the time to pass to meet Psyche at her work.

[Psyche]

5:29pm. Smoking a clove and watching Mono stroke his "soul patch' as he types.

[Stanislaw]

18:53 - "studying" ehm, actually wasting time trying to motivate myself to study!


ps: good advice Jay, I should try that, lol!

[baddad]

1:47 AM Central time zone, Canada. Staring at Stan's Borg.......

[Miss Darcy]

4:49 PM EST, Sydney, Australia. Listening to Kreisler playing the Bach Concerto for Two Violins (in D minor), checking out the Online Lit Forum as you may see; looking for the right April Fools' prank to send to a friend...(usually I don't like factory-made ones but my more elaborate needs time); trying to snap a mozzie that's hovering around the computer; reading reviews of a FanFic; writing a review of Huckleberry Finn; thinking about finding the light switch and flicking it to "on".

Rather long list, I know. But I didn't mention I am also chatting with a friend from Queensland. ;)

[mono]

4:10 am - I woke up too early for my clinical orientation in nursing school, and now cannot get back to sleep, waiting for the time to pass for 4:30 for my carpooling ride. :)

[kilted exile]

11:27 am........resting after fluid mechanics final, getting ready to finish summary for tech. report (examining effectiveness etc. of adding fluoride to scottish drinking water)

[Jay]

6:28pm browsing the net for a translation of 'clove'... I had no idea it can be smoked :p, learning new things all the time :D

[Shea]

11:45 am, Florida. Just found out that Terri Shaivo just died. Now I'm hoping that the circus outside that hospice will finally go away so that the other people in the center can finally observe their right to die in peace. They're so disrespectful!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

[amuse]

yes. and the children can return to school. remind me to make a living will...
r.i.p., terri.

[Helga]

19:07 I am listening to Perfect Circle and screaming at Spock, he is often so loud.

[mono]

hospice will finally go away so that the other people in the center can finally observe their right to die in peace. They're so disrespectful!!
While I try to dodge the subject of politics, as instructed, I cannot but applaud you, Shea. :)
Anyway, 1:29 pm, at Psyche's apartment, worn out from my clinical orientation (coincidentally at the hospital where I was born) that began very early this morning; thinking of doing some writing soon (the Muse sings a come-hither song, presently).

[shortysweetp]

10:22- just worked on a quilt that i'm making, now trying to get my daughter to go to sleep. she's a little bit hyper tonight so its taking forever. oh yeah vacuuming up all the thread that landed on the floor when i was sewing.

[baddad]

1:25 am, central time zone, Canada. Staring at Stan's Borg .........sharing Shea's view, glad to have found this place, this forum, this little 'out' from the world.....

[kilted exile]

8:23 - Just finished setting up my April Fools gags (handles to all roommates doors bootpolished; Faucets greased; Clear Tarp placed behind fridge door) & waiting for the fun to start. :D

[Koa]

15:43, got home from my temporary job 1 hour ago, had lunch and now decided to take advantage of the kid's (my brother, owner of the romm which hosts the pc) absence to have relaxing internet-afternoon. I'm drinking a tea and still wondering how come that I started drinking tea so often, I used to hardly ever drink it before I went to Hungary. Well, now I also have a cold so it's nice to have a warm flavoury drink :)

[Koa]

Lol, the person who posted before me posted 20 minutes before me but his time is 7 hours behind... magic of time zones :D

[Monica]

16:10 I was trying to save the image of myself I created at http://www.planearium.de/flash/spstudio.html but I'm not too good at computer stuff and so I didn't manage to (and I'm listening to Sunday Bloody Sunday and I'm thinking about the Pope. Hope he'll be fine...)

[Jay]

7:10pm... doing nothing actually.

[kilted exile]

13:01 - Laughing at the fun caused by my pranks.

[Helga]

18:40 I am watching a stupid dog show, and praying no one will remember my b-day tomorrow.......

[amuse]

ooh! you and hans c. anderson share the big one! :) :) how glorious! can i send you cupcakes? or do you prefer cakes, pies, ice creams...
how soon we forget to forget...:blush: :p

[mono]

2:09 pm, just checked the mail (not here yet), feeling rather indolent and light-headed, thinking about going out-and-about with Psyche, considering the nice weather. :)

[Psyche]

2:18 pm. Very excited over ordering two HP lovecraft inspired perfume oils, (actually 3, I bought Miskatonic University for Mono because it smells of coffee, dusty tomes, and oakwood) I ordered myself one call Mi-Go Brain Canister and one called Tulzscha.

[baddad]

0052 am, central time zone, Canada. Watching under the crack of my bedroom door......fearing entry by the 'Borg'...............

*jeez.....gotta get a life.....*

[frozenlight]

12:24. trying to persuade my bored *** to get off this chair and turn into order the chaos in my god forsaken flat (mum's out of town, so...)

[amuse]

4:35, no...5:35 a.m. - realized that my phone's not on auto-update and have to change the alarm clock (thank goodness the comp's on daylight savings) - can't fall back asleep easily after early a.m. phone calls so am going to play a few rounds of boggle and try for more zzzzzz's.

[mono]

3:25 am - sitting in front of the computer, feeling tired, but cannot sleep. I felt stunned when I looked at the computer clock, and it said 1:58 am; then, I looked at the clock, seemingly minutes later, and it said 3:03 am; it took me some time to realize that the clock had an automatic reset for daylight saving's time.
Whew! Thank goodness, I feel assured my sanity still exists. :p

[Helga]

13:15 I am trying to stay awake by doing something, but it is not really working since I didn't sleep that well last night...

[Koa]

17:34, just had some crisps and some biscuits just to feel more guilty about it, was trying to study a little but when things make no sense it's pretty much worthless to waste time on them...

[Jay]

12:46am, uhm, well, skipping a lecture :angel:

[durga]

It is 4:21 p.m. on my computer watch, I have taken a coffee break from my work..and headed towards the only Internet enabled machine in my office's secured network..

[Jay]

Good move :D

[Helga]

16:05 watching Wrath of Khan, my fave ST movie

[papayahed]

12:29 pm CST. Eating a chicken sandwich at me desk.

[mono]

10:51 am - between classes at school, waiting for time to pass, and thinking of doing some productive leisure writing.

[Taliesin]

20:46 -watching a site from time to time that will say some time today that I didn't get to the IMO. Yesterday We did okay but today We went down the drain.

And now some mathematical knowledge:

*There are three sorts of mathematicians, those who can read to three, and those who can't.

*What do the guinea pig and female mathematician have in common - you see, Guinea and pig have got nothing in common....

*The difference between mathematicians, biologists and physicists-
We have an empty house and this knowledge:
two people go inside, three come out.
The scientist's responses are following:
Biologist: They must have procreated
Physicist: It must be a measuring mistake
Mathematician: When one person would go inside, the house would be empty again

[amuse]

lol! :lol:

14:11
i am wrapping things up at the computer lab, still trying to decide whether or not to take latin next semester, and considering grabbing a bit to eat before my next class.

oh! forgot to tell you guys, i got the highest grade on the last test in race & ethnicity. :) yes, that's a big G for GEEK on my forehead! :D

[Stanislaw]

15:01 - wasting time and stalling writing my english paper!

[kilted exile]

20:04 - Eating a packet of ju-jubes, waiting for the NCAA Basketball final to start.

[Stanislaw]

18:35 - Attempting to start my essay

[mono]

oh! forgot to tell you guys, i got the highest grade on the last test in race & ethnicity. :) yes, that's a big G for GEEK on my forehead! :D
Congratulations, amuse, very impressive. :)
9:09 pm - I feel like a living oxymoron (but not a fragment of the word, 'moron'), feeling physically tired and weary, after a very long day of school, but mentally alert and energetic.
Such indecision! :nod:

[baddad]

1:57 am, central time zone, Canada...

....watching the Borg refuse to begin an essay assignment....

Congrats' Amuse.....its always nice to the best!!!


...Wow.....how did this happen......what am I doing down there?

[baddad]

1:57 am, central time zone, Canada...

....watching the Borg refuse to begin an essay assignment....

Congrats' Amuse.....its always nice to be the best!!!

[Stanislaw]

8:38 - still refusing to start. :crash:

[Shea]

1:40 Procrastinating on my summary of a book about the end of apartheid in South Africa. At least I got started anyway.

[baddad]

1:43 am, central time zone, Canada. Sigh......the Borg as procrastinators? Spock would raise an eyebrow in emphasis of his taking note.......

*lights a smoke, opens a beer, ignores ringing telephone*

[Miss Darcy]

4:18 PM, EST: Listening to some Paganini, looking at a catalogue of iRivers, daydreaming, wondering when my friend will finally come online, getting myself ready to tear away from the computer and do some reading...

[lhaeber]

11:23 pm following Missdarcy around the neighbourhood here.

[Stanislaw]

9:29 - chillaxing... the borg are not procrastinators...were just lazy! :D

[mono]

3:22 pm - waiting for Psyche to finish preparing to go to the Saturday Market, where I will spend frivolously.
http://www.saturdaymarket.org/

[Jay]

1:36am - thinking about having a shower and calling it a night early tonight. Trying not to think about Tuesday exam :p

Psyche & mono, have fun :)

[Koa]

21:31, sunday evening...realising that even if I feel like I was very active and productive today, I didnt do much at all, at least as far as studying goes... Still conforting myself with the thought that exams are still more than one month away and the pressure of the last moment will work as usual.

[Helga]

21:06 watching CSI:NY

[kilted exile]

19:17 - Just finished studying before tomorrows finals - 5exams in the next 3 days :mad:

[imthefoolonthehill]

8:20 PM Reading the forums for the first time in several weeks.

Getting over a cold... typing up a status report for english class.

[Koa]

18:58 wondering what I am doing here...the world is not only forums...I'll be off...somehow

[mono]

11:00 am - between classes, waiting for the time to pass; hoping to see Psyche later today, if neither of us seem too busy; feeling tired, as I FINALLY finished the play last night, and felt so excited that I typed the whole thing (42 pages in all!). :eek:

[Helga]

18:01 I was babysitting and I am now listening to the silence

[Psyche]

7:07PM: Sitting in front of a cluttered desk with bandages on my chest, green spiral sharpie drawings on my left calf, and feeling quite sorry for myself.

[amuse]

? hx, please. i sense a Story. ;) hope you're okay.

22:14
sitting at comp making choices - do i shower, prepare for wednesday's test, read for psych or for race & ethnicity. or...do i read a book i bought yesterday for FUN!!! :)
end result: i showered once today, have a solid a in race, a low a in psych, and a test wednesday so i will study. bye-bye comp! hasta manana!

[amuse]

oh, wow, congratulations, mono! where can we buy a copy?

[Psyche]

? hx, please. i sense a Story. ;) hope you're okay.

I am okay, :nod: just more than a bit manic and stressed out. I got two of my tattoos touched up today, a very long session that required a bit of a heavy hand on the (amazing) artist's part to keep the red ink in.
My piercer, after I inquired about incorporating a tattoo into the scars on my left calf, had a very large lightbulb go off above his head and suggested a drastic procedure where the majority of the scars will be erased, by way of cutting and peeling off the skin at the site (very long and brutal healing period unfortunately) and replaced with a floral motif, thistles, crocusus and orchids, perhaps lilies as well. He is going to take about a month to plan it out and draw the designs, but in the end, the result will be decorative scarring with colorful flowers instead of just keloids.
Sorry to ramble...

[shortysweetp]

10:33 husband and baby are in bed and i'm finally getting to eat dinner that i ordered at the restaurant that we went to at 7:00. catching up on the forum.

i want a tattoo but they look painful but i have went through labor and a c-section i'm sure i could handle it.

[baddad]

12:01 am, central time zone, Canada; thinking about the burning-pain sensation that my tattoos caused me

...tat pain, tat pain, is mainly in my brain.........

Sorry to hear about your tat pain Psyche. Last year I got a small red maple leaf tatted onto my right shoulder in case my body washed up on a beach somewhere in the caribean, the thinking being, that at least they may devine the country the body belonged to. And After I got the tattoo my friend inquired, "But what if that is the arm the shark bites off ?"

I never had any tattoos until last year. Now I have two. I was told they are addictive. My second tat is my Mayan 13moon/52week calender astrological sign that matches my birthday/birthyear/countenance.....got it in Cozumel, Mexico last year.....home of some of the Mayan temples

Earlier this year I decided to start a new hobby. I decided that from this point on I will get a small tattoo in each country I visit. Strange really, because usually I like a little sex with my pain.........

[Psyche]

Oh, I LOVE the pain, that was the main reason I went there, Mmm....endorphins...*drool*
Your tattoo idea is so cool! I like a bit of foreplay with my pain sometimes as well.

[baddad]

.....Hmmmm......

[mono]

4:43 pm - procrastinating on preparing for my next class at 5:30, for which I have LOTS of disorganized paperwork to complete.

[Bongitybongbong]

9:56 EST- spinning in my chair

[baddad]

9:45, Literature Network time, central Canada.

Thinking about the fact that I just bought a plane ticket for home today. Been travelling for a year, gotta go home sometime I suppose. Never gonna see my elderly parents again.......kinda weird knowing that in advance of the event.......

[imthefoolonthehill]

it is 12:30 AM Mountain Central Time.

I am coughing up more mucus.

[shortysweetp]

12:28 pm thinking that somehow imthefoolonthehill got me sick. :) now i'm going to finish reading the new posts then off to clean my apartment and fix my daughter some lunch.

[kilted exile]

13:33 - Just fininshed my last exam of the semester :D :D .

[Jay]

19:49 - glaring at the clock... I don't wanna go!!!!!!!!!

[mono]

11:27 am - taking advantage of having the day off from school, being lazy, playing chess, spending time with Psyche, and thinking of writing. :)

[Psyche]

11:33am

I want to stay here, don't want to go to work, closing a coffee shop is one of the most boring things I have ever had the displeasure of doing. I'm looking at Mono, he is stroking his soul-patch beard thing and smiling at me. I'm gonna see if He'll go close the coffee shop for me so I can stalk the mail lady.

[Helga]

18:35 I'm not looking at anyone or smiling, just bored

[Bandini]

19:55, Yorkshire, England. sat in my shirt and boxers, drinking a glass of cheap but tasty Australian white. Thinking I should really wash my hair, or I'll have to get up earlier to do it tomorrow. Should go and communicate with my sweet girlfriend but she is half asleep watching some property show, and I'll go mad if I watch another damn property show. I hear her stir, she's gone into the porch for a fag. I'll take her a glass of wine.
N.B. Don't be disturbed Yanks - I mean a cigarette not a homosexual!

[Koa]

22:26, wondering what a property show is... waiting for my brother to tell me to switch off the pc cos he has to sleep, and wondering if then i'd better sleep too, or read something or try to study a bit

[imthefoolonthehill]

4:15 PM Mountain Standard Time

Just finished watching the extras from Black Hawk Down

[amuse]

20:59 eastern stranded time

just finished a brief orientation at school and signed up for real training for my summer campus job. waiting until one minute has passed - yes, now it's 21:00! - so i can make free calls.

[Psyche]

11:47pm. trying not to faint from this damn pain, reflecting back on my creative writing class in High school and listening to Letterman in the backround.

[amuse]

i'm sorry :( to hear that you're unwell, Psyche.
http://www.flowerparade.ca/images/p_bear.jpg

[Helga]

14:06 sitting at a local cafe, reading and hoping someone will give me a teddy and flowers someday.......

[Isagel]

16:16, just got back to my office after a four hour long meeting. Tired. One hour work left. Trying to decide which part of the stack of paperwork I should do before I go home. It rains outside and my shoes are all wet from the walk back to the office.

I really should not go to the forums at work.

Well Helga - I do not have a teddybear for you, but I have The Rose family (by Frost):

The rose is a rose,
And was always a rose.
But now the theory goes
That the apple's a rose,
And the pear is, and so's
The plum, I suppose.
The dear only knows
What will next prove a rose.
You, of course, are a rose--
But were always a rose.

[Koa]

23.07, wondering why my family is on another time zone despite being one wall away, cos it feels like 3am as they go to bed early.
but most of all im again hating the neighbours for the ridicolous volume they keep the tv or radio or whatever it is they are listening. it pisses me off. lucky that im not trying to sleep... I guess i will be online till they stop this noise, cos there s no point getting more irritated by trying to sleep in this mess. :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage:

[Bandini]

I swear by earplugs! I started using them in the dyas when I had noisy neighbours, and now I don't sleep without them.

[Koa]

(23:17) i dont like the idea of earplugs much actually... btw, they just finished listening to Queen's Show Must Go On...twice. At least it's not me who's too delicate, when I can recognise the song and sing it along and almost year the words people are speaking when there's no music, it means they're noisy! And they live downstairs!

[Bandini]

'The Show Must Go On" - twice? F*** that - earplugs are the worst of these two evils.

[Koa]

0.03 They had stopped but I missed the moment of quiet and now I can hear something in the background...not as loud as before though, so I might try to call it a day and get some 7 hours of sleep...

[Bandini]

Sleep well! But if it gets too bad, those liddle pieces of foam are great!

[imthefoolonthehill]

6:39

herman's hermits "can't you hear my heart beat?"

[kilted exile]

4:38 am - just concluded the craziest night of crazy nights.

[Isagel]

10:50 - changing my avatar to a picture of the dancer/choreographer Merlin Nyakam,
and wonder what Kilted exile did last night, and if whetever that was has any relation with his new signature... I also wonder if choreographer is the correct spelling, but I´m to lazy to look it up right now.

I´ll just edit it later.

[kilted exile]

11:56 - nursing a hangover & wishing I hadn't had so much to drink last night



and wonder what Kilted exile did last night, and if whetever that was has any relation with his new signature...

The new sig. does not relate to last night, that conversation took place a couple of weeks ago.

Last night I was out with the people on my college course celebrating the end of the semester (about 30 of us in total). It was going fine till about 11:30, when we headed off to the bar. I was already quite "happy" and was dancing and singing in the middle of the road, dodging traffic as I went. The bar was meant to close at 2 o'clock, however they finally kicked us all out at 3. On the walk home, on of my coursemates noticed a skid full of roofing shingles sitting on a driveway and for some stupid reason known only to him, decided he was going to take some of them. It was about 5mins. later that a police van pulls up beside us, fortunately the cop was in a good mood and decided to just let us put the shingles back without the owner knowing (and avoid getting charged). Luckily the cop didn't search some of my friends as they had a decent amount of weed in their pockets.

[Koa]

18.10 wondering about going or not going to the cinema tonight...i kind want to but i'm feeling lazy. Also feeling sort of annoyed/sad/irritated, maybe cos I wanted to study and do something good this afternoon instead I just did nothing... Maybe that's not the only reason though. Damn limbo between being ok and being depressed, when you dont feel ok but don't feel bad either. :mad:

[amuse]

what is playing, and what would you most like to view at the cinema?

btw, do you have commercials before the movies? previews? or artsy sort of info, as in which galleries are showing what - ?

[mono]

11:52 am - achy from not sleeping well last night, but reflecting on the many dreams I managed to have last night, involving something about ice-skating rinks surrounding an area of water where water-spirits jumped out of the water at people who skated too close, and walking into a room made of scraps of cloth with an oracle.

[Helga]

18:51 so depressed I could SCREAM

[kilted exile]

17:30 - doing nothing

[Koa]

23:43 at the end i didnt go to the cinema cos i found out the movie was going to be 155 minutes long and i just cant concentrate for so long...btw amuse, it's a festival of love movies but i like it cos it plays lots of foreign films that wouldnt be shown otherwise...that s why it catches my interest.
I'm listening to my favourite depressive songs by the Cure to try and loose my grumpy mood, but even this is not working :eek: dunno what to try next...

[Scheherazade]

Aaahhh... But 'It's Friday I'm in Love', Koa! ;)

[shortysweetp]

5:30 drinking a adult beverage and being followed by scher or am i following her around ?

[Koa]

0.30 wondering why I'm still here :eek:

and technically it's now saturday, scher ;) and I'm not in love *grumpy*

[Scheherazade]

In that case, Koa:

'Saturday wait

And Sunday always comes too late' :D

And shortysweetp> how old does a beverage need to be considered an adult? :goof:

[shortysweetp]

lol not very :).

[Koa]

Oh yeah, right...

and LOL about the beverage...

[Koa]

wow, looks like a party, we're all here together...well the 3 of us

[Scheherazade]

And Jay is lurking somewhere...

[Koa]

let's take her out of that corner then!

[Jay]

I'm not here, someone's spreading rumours again :D

[Jay]

*edit*
ahemahem

[Scheherazade]

I'm not here, someone's spreading rumours again :D
23.47 *looks at Koa suspiciously*

[Koa]

eheh...it was only the power of my mind!

[Scheherazade]

23.49 If we mention the time, we are not technically HiJaCkiNg the thread, are we? ;)

[shortysweetp]

5:50 nope we arent hijacking anything. so we are having a party yea i like parties

[Koa]

0.52 I don't, but here it's ok.
and i keep thinking i should go...but uff...i'm not going

[Jay]

00:55 - *does as well* :brow:

[Koa]

00.57 *yawns*

[shortysweetp]

6:03 yawns??? you arent having fun?

[Koa]

1.04 no, im just tired but addicted

[Jay]

1:12 am - used to lack of sleep :p

[Koa]

1.19 quite used as well lately, but i yawn all the time anyway...i just hope tomorrow i'll be more productive than on this wasted day but i've been hoping that for long and it never happens :(
*blue moment*

[Jay]

1:33 am - reminds me of Wasted Youth by Meat Loaf... talk about a weird association :D

[Koa]

3.01, still online and speechless...it happened again. Damn addiction...it sucks your life in.

[mono]

9:19 pm - trying to realize this thread has expanded nearly 3 pages today, paging through my new book of poetry by Raymond Carver (compliments of Ms. Psyche), thinking I should continue studying for a mid-term I have less than two weeks from now, but busy meditating on another - possible - play. :idea:

[imthefoolonthehill]

12:36 AM

sitting at my computer, thinking about going to bed, thinking about the people i know.

playing endless games of solitaire, talking to people as though they are here.

anyone else hold conversations with real people that aren't there... just in case?...don't answer here, i'll go ask it somewhere else.

[Bandini]

No, fool...no they don't. Well some people do - it's often accompanied by checking through litter bins, wearing extremely half mast trousers and shouting 'Wibble!' at pigeons.

[Helga]

15:10 Hating everything, in a very bad mood watching some Julia Roberts movie

[kilted exile]

12:12 - getting ready to go see a film - The Amityville Horror.

btw Helga no wonder you're in a bad mood if your watching a Julia Roberts movie :D

[Bandini]

You beat me to it Kilted!

[Koa]

(i agree about julia roberts)

19.58 still confused for the overdose of internet of last night. really going to the cinema tonight, i dont even like cinema much but there is a festival of love movies (i hate love movies except gone with the wind, but nevermind) and it is a unique chance to see underground movies that will never make it to mainstream...and most of all in original language! f**k the damn dubbing!

[Helga]

22:15 if I had a gun I'd be loading it, but since I don't I'm watching tv. NOT a julia roberts film.

[Snukes]

1:03 - avoiding my thesis, avoiding going to bed, still trying to figure out what "platonic sex" could possibly be and why anyone would want such a thing anyway...

[Bandini]

Who's Terri...? Is that Welsh? I'm sat here after a great day. Lovely long evening down an old pub in my town - a coaching house, largely unchanged since the 17th Century: gas lamps, open fires, beams and floorboards - buzzing with my girl, laughing and drinking fantastic (and cheap!) stout. Now sat listening to Stephen Malkmus' first album, watching my girlfreind smiling in her sleep. Life doesn't get much better..

[kilted exile]

19:55 - eating remnants of yesterdays dinner, relaxing after a game of basketball this afternoon.

[mono]

6:27 pm - tired and lazy with a pounding headache, listening to Ghostbusters II in the background, and thinking of writing.

[amuse]

21:27 contemplating Mexican Immigration and trying to wake up

*really interesting stats - thank goodness for the web - this stuff was unmentioned in the book:

"At the end of the Diaz regime in 1910, probably less than 3% of the total rural population owned any land at all. There were 834 hacendados (land owners) and approx. 9,000,000 landless peasants living under a miserable debt peonage." :eek: good grief!

midnight

just got back from a school play

[Koa]

14.49 taking a break between homework and wondering if the break will ever finish... :D

[Bandini]

Just cringing at last nights drunken post - God, what a smug sounding arse!

[Bandini]

But, hey, I felt good. Now sat with green trouser bottoms (don't mow the lawn in flares!) and a cup of tea, looking out at my freshly mown lawn. Wanted to flick around the site, but girlfriend insisting that I get off my arse and help her with the rest of the gardening. Bo!

[mono]

8:49 am - taking a break from studying for a mid-term next week, drinking some green rooibos tea, thinking I should have had the honey-ginger with ginseng instead, cannot stop yawning, though I do not feel sleepy.

[Koa]

23.10, wondering why i start feeling awake exactly when i'd better start putting myself into bed...

[shortysweetp]

11:48 been absence from the forum today so i thought i would make an appearance before i'm off to bed

[baddad]

00:45, central time zone, Canada. Burning the sage, watching the rising smoke carry things upwards.....notice people on the forum having actual cyber friendships/technical touchings...............intriguing.... interesting phenomenon....looks like it has the capacity to be powerfully emotional sometimes.......

[kilted exile]

13:39 - Just returned from picking up my marks at college (92% in Fluid Mechanics - I love the general energy equation), getting ready to go shopping

[amuse]

very nice! :thumbs_up

btw, when you pick up something you don't need, do you set it down where it belongs or in some random aisle, only being careful with certain things like eggs and milk - they of course just need to go somewhere cold...

:blush: oops that's more than i wanted everyone to know. but have gotten better.

13:52, e-mailing gramma.

[Helga]

23:39 thinking about going to sleep, gotta wake up early in the morning

[shortysweetp]

6:58- wondering why bong changed his avy, catching up on all the forums and watching my daughter take a nap that she is now waking up from :)

[kilted exile]

22:32 - just finished helping room-mate study for his soil properties exam tomorrow.

[imthefoolonthehill]

9:00 PM

getting ready to start on my math homework.

Its all i ever seem to do.


THinking about taking a trip down to the punching bag in the garage.

deciding who to take to prom.... bloody hell anyways.

[Helga]

08:57 thinking about getting up and get ready to go out

[Miss Darcy]

7:21 PM EST - surfing the Lit Forums, wondering who's going to turn themselves into the Devil, thinking about changing the format/layout/something of my blog, feeling glad MSN 7 is FINALLY public...listening to Mozart's Requiem.

[kilted exile]

10:51 - considering turning myself into the devil in Darcy's play, but realising it involves writing and using my almost non-existent imagination.

(decided not to include self in play, will leave it for someone with more ability)

[Jay]

16:52 - considering skipping a lecture... I better not though, lol, even though...

you should try to turn into the devil kilted_exile, should be fun :p

[Bandini]

Just in from work after meeting with Functionalist management ingrates. NEED WINE!

[Jay]

If they were as bad as 'functionalist management' sounds... you might need something a bit stronger than a wine :D

[shortysweetp]

1:09 sitting down to read the forums with a glass of WINE :)

[Helga]

18:17 watching tv, with no WINE since I don't drink.

[Bandini]

Wine now starting to cut through the frustration. Why do I always have to stick my neck out at these meetings? I should just accept that the idiots are ruling the world now. There are many different strands of idiot - but they all have one thing in common: Idiocy.

[kilted exile]

19:05 - Just finished playing some 1- on - 1 basketball in the driveway, now relaxing with a nice bottle of Corona.

[Helga]

23:13 staring at the computer thinking about sleep

[Bongitybongbong]

... idiots are ruling the world now.
20:10 Finds a bit of happiness that the dumb are powerful in great numbers at the expeness of the smart.

[kilted exile]

20:14 - Just found this joke(topic appriate here actually):
BODY MEETING

All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one in charge.

"I should be in charge," said the brain, "because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen".

"I should be in charge," said the blood, "because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away." "I should be in charge," said the stomach," because I process food and give all of you energy."

"I should be in charge," said the legs, "because I carry the body wherever it needs to go."

"I should be in charge," said the eyes, "because I allow the body to see where it goes."

"I should be in charge," said the rectum, "Because I'm responsible for waste removal."

All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight. Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery, and the blood was toxic. They all decided that the rectum should be the boss.

The Moral of the story?

The ******* is usually in charge.

[mono]

9:49 pm - physically worn, but not sleepy, from a long few days; moodswings have seemed torturous the past week; nervous about beginning clinicals this week, seeing more patients, but with a relatively difficult instructor.

[Snukes]

1:37pm - Trying to decide what to do with a claim that God used to be married to a tree.

[Helga]

11:53 just woke up, don't know what to do with myself.

[kilted exile]

16:25 - Just returned from giving my tech. report presentation, quite how I managed to talk for 45mins. about the effect fluoridation would have on Scottish water I have no idea.

[Koa]

congrats kilted...:)

22:34 should go to sleep cos it's been an exhausting day and I promised myself to go to bed early cos I really need a good sleep (*still annoiyed cos I missed one good sleep on the weeked cos i stayed online till a crazy time...eh Jay?:D*)...but you know...the addiction...

[Snukes]

16:02 - Sitting in the main library reading room, babysitting the books of someone whose language I don't speak, HOPING that is what he asked me to do, and hoping he is planning to come back before I want to leave.

[shortysweetp]

10:21 AM sitting here reading and then going to get up and make dinner roll dough to use for sausage rolls and cinnamon rolls. sounds like fun huh? :)

[Psyche]

12:20pm, smoking a cigarette and waiting for the shower to open up.

[Helga]

23:55 I think I should clean my room before I go to sleep. maybe just the second part of that sentence....

[shortysweetp]

10:08- talking to bobthejeep and listening to my husband tell me about catching a fish. a fish tale i say :) no j/k he is a good fisher

[mono]

9:32 pm - very sleepy, depressingly moodswinging, slightly hungover, though I very seldom drink, which put me in the mood to read Raymond Carver, not surprisingly. :D

[Helga]

14:53 I just came home from work and I'm in a pretty good mood listening to Jeff Buckley and using Spock as a pillow.

[mono]

4:57 am - yawning, just saw Psyche off to work, and as she rose this morning, I could not get back to sleep, out of feeling nervous for a big exam I have at 8 am. Wish me luck!

[Scheherazade]

Good luck, mono! I am sure you will do well! :)

[amuse]

how did it go?

[Bandini]

Tired and trying to pull myself back from the nights first wine for a bit longer - not that I'm a boozer or 'owt!

About 7.

[Helga]

18:41 I'm not in a good mood, watching some kid show......

[kilted exile]

18:27 - Just finished baking a bunch of cookies, getting ready to go beat my roommate at pool.

[mono]

Good luck, mono! I am sure you will do well!

how did it go?
Thanks for the encouragement. I got the results, and I did surprisingly well. I finished thinking the exam went horribly, and I dreaded the worst, then astounded myself with my grade. :)

Anyway . . .
3:50 pm - at school, between classes, very drowsy, jealous that Psyche got to see Mike Patton last night at one of my favorite local venues (;)), and frustrated that the cell phone reception on my campus does terrible, considering many of the large concrete buildings and trees.

[Helga]

18:28 listening to Jamiroquai and watching some cartoon. thinking about reading some poems from the collection of Emily Dickinson I bought yesterday or finishing Virgin suicide or something. now it's 18:30 and I'm doing the same

[Veritas]

The time right now is 15:23
I am eating Olives, since I had neither time for lunch nor for any other snack
:-)
having an off-day has it's downside too - right?

[kilted exile]

18:00 - Trying to decide what to eat for dinner.

[Bandini]

11:19 - just been having a mint chat about Foucalt and King Lear with my girlfriend - she's doing an essay on Foucalt. Really buzzing and she's tired from working, and I'm tired and I should be going to bed...but, I keep getting drawn to this forum. Must...resist...

[baddad]

21:22.....Western Canada....mountain time? I travelled 3000 miles west on Monday, not too sure about what time zone I'm in today.....

.......finally closer to home (8 hours away by road) after 14 months travelling.......feels good....the time machine placed me here 4 hours after I left, but only two hours by the clock.........running from the sun.....weird....

[Helga]

09:57 I just woke up, I don't know if I should go and study for the German exam I have to take next week or go outside and enjoy the good weather.

[Bandini]

13:10 - On me lunch break, steeling myself to do an afternoons marking! A beautiful sunny day, so thoughts are turning to an evening of Guinness and beer gardens. It's a bank holiday weekend - wahey!

[kilted exile]

10:17 - Lazing about before college re-starts on Monday (last semester, then done :D )

[Helga]

16:25 nothing to do, hanging out on the forum....

[kilted exile]

19:00 - bored, considering going to shoot some pool (If I can talk roommate into it)

[Jay]

1:01 am - Wondering what 'the person above me' ;) is about to do

[kilted exile]

Wondering what 'the person above me' ;) is about to do

I can assure the person above me that the only thing that will get hurt tonight is my roommates level of self-esteem :lol:

[Jay]

Poor guy :p... good lesson though... do what I want or your ego is gonna get hurt :D

[kilted exile]

19:50 - Going to play pool (roommate aquiesced quite easily only had to mention beer)

[Bandini]

10:21 a.m.
Woken up with a hangover. Feeling queasy. Went out with colleagues last nightand my girlfriend let slip that about once a fortnight I drink about 8-9 pints of Guinness in a session. Didn't care much then (I'd had 4 or 5) but now thinking - "Oh No - my workmates think I'm an alchy!". Consoling myself with Oscar Wilde's quote - "Everything in moderation - including moderation."

[Jay]

12:20am - Angry with brother, using up all of the bandwidth, takes ages to load a single site. Even messenger can't stay logged in. Why do I need a brother again?

advert.:
Very cheeply one slightly used brother. If you take him right away, he's yours for free.

[amuse]

advert: very expensive, very used ex. care to trade? :D

[Helga]

14:45 I'm watching a football game. GOD, Liverpool has to win this one!

[Bandini]

18:20 - had a VERY lazy day, whilst my girlfriend slogs out a 'Gender and Advertising' essay (she took a Gender Studies module). Just poured meself a glass of Cava and stuck some Marks & Sparks crispy duck and pancakes in the oven. Mmmm! It's a lovely sunny evening and that Pub beer garden is beckoning, but I really need to get a shower and a shave, if I don't want to look like I'm selling the Big Issue.

[Helga]

20:17 watching tv

[mono]

3:29 pm - taking advantage of a day off, after a long week of exams, labs, and clinicals, seeing patients. Meanwhile, sitting near Psyche, as she sits at a computer nearby like Schroeder at his piano (ya' know, Peanuts)

http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/peanuts/meet_the_gang/images/meet_schroeder_big.gif

Otherwise, waiting for her roommate to come back with a rented film about Andy Warhol. :thumbs_up

[Helga]

22:34 alone, wondering what to do. maybe I should go to bed or something....

[Scheherazade]

00:18 Just got home from a Turkish restaurant where I took my guests. Had a brilliant time. Relaxing, with a tummy full with wonderful, I feel like a kitten... :)

[Jay]

1:33am - tired, too angry to fall asleep though.

Scher, how does a kitten feel? Are you actually purring already? :)

[Scheherazade]

Scher, how does a kitten feel? Are you actually purring already? :)
You don't wanna know! :brow:

[Jay]

I do, if I didn't I wouldn't have asked ;)

[Scheherazade]

*persuades you that you don't* ;)

[Jay]

Not worky ;), do tell :D

Try to send your spirits, Goody Scher :p

:angel: who ever told you I could get a hint? Esp when I decided to totally ignore it? :goof:

[Koa]

16:14 enjoyed a nice relaxed foruming time to catch up on what has been going on in these few days when I havent been around.

[Helga]

16:27 just came back from a long walk with Spock and my little aunt, and now I have to study German while I listen to Jeff Buckley...

[mono]

12:07 pm - amazing how one can feel stressed with an overwhelming amount of obligations one time, and hope for spare time soon, then, when spare time arrives, one feels bored, and wishes for something to do. :p

[amuse]

15:46 home from worship service and lunch with an old friend. contemplating the necessity of taking someone to court.

[Koa]

22.42 Incredible how another sunday slipped away in total uselessness and how bad it feels to think that, while I've enjoyed myself in the wonderful internet, I wasted all afternoon on it and ended up not studying even in the evening cos I was probably to relaxed to do it...so now I'm not ready for tomorrow so I'd better skip that lesson for once... Hope I'll at least go to bed soon cos I don't want to spend the week in a coma like the week that just passed.

[Bandini]

00:38 - I should be in bed, snuggling up to my girl, but yet again I have sneaked off to post on here - will slip back soon! Had a lovely evening in our usual pub, then talked to a local nutter/shaman in another pub. Quite bizzare the strange truth he spoke!

[kilted exile]

10:50 - Just returned from signing up for college courses over the summer (final semester) - only 5 courses this semester: Wastewater Management/Air Pollution/Applied Statistics/Environmental Chemistry & my general education course: Understanding Art.

[mono]

1:18 pm - just got out of my orientation for next year's nursing courses, anticipating possible clinical experiences in pediatrics, intensive care, and community health . . . bored otherwise. Maybe I will give Psyche a call in a moment. :D

[Koa]

22.54 going to sleep soon, tomorrow have to work longer cos we need some things finished... wasnt having any particular feeling today but got suddenly frustrated tonight cos of some decisions i should take but cant or maybe i dont want to take...and in realising that some other decisions should have been taken ages ago but not taking them made life harder but maybe it was because i didnt want to take them after all *sigh* clear, isnt it? lol, just needed to say that and that way, not meant to be read or understood, maybe i should have put this in random thoughts. But it's 22.56 after all :D

[kilted exile]

17:00 - chilling after first day back at college, considering making dinner, but realizing that involves the expenditure of energy.

[Helga]

10:52 just woke up, gotta clean the house, thinking about watching ST

[Jay]

19:28 - Wondering how much longer I could giggle until I'm thrown out of the library :D

[Scheherazade]

18.31 Wondering why Jay keeps giggling... :angel:

[Jay]

19:38 - I wouldn't want to spread rumours or anything... so I'm not saying :p

[Snukes]

16:15 - pretending not to be online, wondering where to start...

[Koa]

23.29 wow it's so late but nevermind, tomorrowi can afford to be sleepy cos it's friday anyway so the weekend and rest come next (ugh, rhyme). Need to take my decision really, but I always find a balance between pros and cons and I dont really know what to do and how to choose.

[Helga]

[Koa]
