Summer's over; another layer goes on. Unless you forget to bring it, in which case, sucks to be you! Sigh. Is it mojito time yet?

Just 2 more minutes!

Someone should write a song about this poignant moment in the cycle of seasons...oh, wait, oh! yeah.

iwombat - 2007-10-12 11:31:47
I have other things to do, really I do, ok , I'm gonna go do them... now.

Paula - 2007-10-12 11:39:49
No, come back! I poured you a Pork Martini!! Now I'll have to drink it myself.

The first corporate sponsored storms should be named after oil companies and auto manufacturers.

Just yesturday I was in the bookstore and came across the Peratta section, and I was wondering when that new one was coming out. I read about it about a year ago, when the two directors of "Little Miss Sunshine" was slated to make the movie version of it. I like his books too, although Joe College lacked a little bit.

I just read about that plasteel stuff myself a day or two ago -- I consider it another essential step towards my own personal powered exoskeleton. What would I need such a thing? If you have to ask, you just don't understand...
-------------------------------

Grigorss: Obviously, a powered exoskeleton is designed to assist and protect the wearer. Who wouldn't understand your need for that?
Eric: Come to think of it, I never read Joe College! I thought I was a Perotta completist but I got some catching up to do.
He does hold the distinction of being the author whose books I've read in closest proximity to their actual release dates. I can't even say that about my mega-faves Lorrie Moore and Julian Barnes, cuz they had books that predated my interest, but I was with TP from the git-go, as soon as I read a review for Bad Haircut and asked for it for Xmas that year.

Paula: How in the hell did you find yourself reading about spiral galaxies. Our physics softball team I named the "retarded potentials", which i think makes a fine band name as well. Hell, physics/math is chock full of good names. I always thought bird names where great sources of either cat names or perhaps fluffy pop bands. "Tufted titmouse"

My brother studied physics briefly. When he described the Higgs boson to me, I thought Hey, I should write a song about that. That was years ago. Now I'm thinkin' "The Boson Higgs" would be a pretty good band name.

Loj-B: You know everyone would misspell it as "Boston" though.
Chris: I don't even remember how I wound up on that spiral galaxies entry--such is the magic of wiki. I probably started out looking up Memphis Slim.
I feel a game coming on--get from [random entry X] to [random entry Y] in as few wiki-jumps as possible.

Do you really think Globular Clusters would work as a band name? A breakfast cereal maybe...

Two of these entries made me laugh out loud and it made me wonder... I know you perform sometimes the rock music, but have you ever done stand-up?

Obviously, a powered exoskeleton is designed to assist and protect the wearer.
Yeah, I guess you could use one for those purposes -- I was thinking more along the lines of comfort and style . . .
-------------------------------
Paula - 2007-10-13 13:56:28
have you ever done stand-up?
Wouldn't that require a whole new wardrobe? No, I'm intrigued and sort of flattered by the question, but comedy seems like a really un-fun undertaking. Have you done it?
