It reminded me that I've been seeing this commercial recently, which shows that only white people go hiking in Utah. https://www.youtube.com/watch... - ellbeecee
Apparently this is filming across the street the next few days. Yay? http://www.imdb.com/title...
Oh, dear. - Ell Bee, See?
it's far too early, y'all. ick.
But, I'm up and dressed and waiting for coworker's arrival so we can drive to Macon. Sadly, I won't be seeing LB or Soup whilst there. - ellbeecee
I must drive like you do. - Ell Bee, See?
It's rainy and gross. Why wouldn't I start a re-watch of Dance Academy today?
Lost my fountain pen today. Immediately ordered a new one from Amazon when I got home. I don't know if I unconsciously take more care with my writing with one or what, but I'm certainly more legible with one.
That's great, it starts with an earthquake birds and snakes, an airplane, and Lenny Bruce is not afraid

Ooh, that's the music to one of my favorite Buffy song vids. https://www.youtube.com/watch... - bentley
Today is incredibly twangy in my music. Currently: Hank Jr, Family Tradition. "Leave me alone, I'm singing all night long it's a family tradition"
I swear this playlist has other stuff in it, but it is really hitting ALL the country first: Boot Scootin' Boogie, Redneck Woman, Jolene... - ellbeecee
I'm starting to feel like this Monday needs an Emergency Dance Party.
I wanna dance with somebody https://www.youtube.com/watch... - ellbeecee

So, if you, as a pedestrian, walk into the crosswalk, get 3/4 of the way across, turn around, go halfway back to the initial curb, THEN turn around again, while I'm stopped at the 4-way stop waiting to go that way? I'm going to judge you. I did raise both my hands in a generalized questioning expression, but I am doing better, most of the time...
with anger while I'm driving. You, though, pedestrian dude? Yeah, I was judging the hell out of you (had he dropped something, that would have been entirely different. This was just random turning around while crossing the road) - ellbeecee
I should try that today. - Back to just Joe
#SaturdayFF (I think my first ever). My other major online network is the Straight Dope Message Board. http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb... . I ended up there after a different message board I was on instigated a "board war" with the SDMB. I found I liked the SDMB better and have been a member there since June 2000. The other board is long defunct
What was the topic of the other board? - Stephen Mack
Ha. I left that out waiting to see if anyone would ask. It was an evangelical religious board. I went through a very religious phase the last time I lived in Atlanta - I was miserable here, and a specific religious group seemed to be the cure. It wasn't, FWIW, but for a while there I'd thrown myself into it as much as I could hoping it would help. - ellbeecee

laundrymat. do I know how to rock a Friday night or what?
I always went on Friday night, because it wasn't crowded! - Catherine Pellegrino
I typically come Sat AM because traffic to get here. but it is kind of quiet and nice. I might do this more often. plus, I don't need to get up at the butt-crack of dawn. - ellbeecee
I'm doing laundry tonight too! - Soup in a TARDIS
full disclosure: it's the Three's Company theme song. - ellbeecee
no way I'm clicking on that link. or even reading what you just posted. - Stephan!e•CogSc!L!brar!an
Win a Maine Inn in Essay Contest - ABC News - http://abcnews.go.com/Travel...
Let's win this, and it can be our IRL FF home? - ellbeecee
I wasn't sure I was going to, but go ahead and #askmeanything - bear in mind that I'm at work so my answers might be slow in coming. Also I have to make up the right answers. ;)
Remember when you were moving to Arizona and you kept us all posted on where you were? I was just remembering that. - laura x
I'd like it to be the rhythm (that seems way more fun), but realistically it will probably instant karma. - ellbeecee

Friendfeed, for me, was the only social network that became truly social, where I felt like people connected with others. That's as much a function of the people here than anything else. The community is the biggest loss.
Looking (and taking screenshots) of some of the threads that were important to me. Among those are the comfort when my dad passed last fall, but also the joy that here has seen. The weddings, the babies, the people helping people, all of it. :) - ellbeecee
For the #FriendFeed folks, remember there's http://www.reddit.com/r... too
Somehow, reddit as a home for LSW or substitute for FF just... well, no. - walt crawford
In having a conversation with someone today I realized I am 6 days out from being 9 years smoke free. GO ME.
that is awesome! - kendrak
great job, Iñaki! - ellbeecee
. @miriella I'm very sad to hear that @weez42 won't be there. SIGH <---that's my sad sigh, in case you couldn't tell.
Publishers' Move Could Mean 'Whole New Trial' in GSU Copyright Case - http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw...
Poor GSU. So many legal fees. - lris
Can they not pass the legal fees on to the residents? #privateschoolemployee - Meg VMeg
My shirt has these strings around the neck with these metal aglets. Way too loud hitting my desk. #mondayproblems http://t.co/slC5tA0zck
Monday mornings, especially just after springing forward, should not have this much math in them. #ugh
After several weekends where I actively avoided cleaning, living room, kitchen and bathroom are clean. Need to straighten the bedroom, and I'll feel much more positively toward my living space this week. The second bedroom needs a level of work that won't happen today.
laundrymat. whee. I so need a new place with a washer and dryer. and a balcony where I can sit in peace while the laundry washes.
Was going to go to @ZooATL today. waited in line 20 min to only be told card @ window reader was down. nope then.
I mangled those words a bit. It's not the wait that irritated me. It's a pretty day, I expected to wait. But to wait in one line, only to be told when I reached the window that I could 1) go to the end of another line where the reader was working or 2) pay fees at Not-my-bank ATM and then get back at the end of the line I already stood in...nope. I'd have said stronger words, but there were lots of small children around. Now I'm back home and I'm going to take myself for a long walk into downtown Decatur, then hop on Marta and maybe go to the High Museum. - ellbeecee
CN News Investigative Report: Why do open books make the best cat beds? - http://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic...
So, since Visa got the new exclusive deal with Costco, does that mean they're going to start only accepting Visa at Costco? Hmm. http://www.bloomberg.com/news...
Or does it just apply to their branded cards? Will they still accept amex? I usually use my debit anyway, so it's not a huge thing to me, but it is to some. - ellbeecee
They will only accept Visa, not more Amex. - kendrak
What will happen to the Costco-branded Amex, then? (Just curious.) - Catherine Pellegrino
Silly irritation of this morning: Word files saved at more than 100% zoom, so that the text is all up in your face when I open it. I don't ever want to be that close to the words on the page.
Now I want to do this to everyone all the time. - Meg VMeg
Vows to send all attachments at 800%. - Back to just Joe
I have been home with a headache today. And my downstairs neighbor has been hammering since noon.
:-( *hands over the ear plugs* - Kirsten loves you
oh hell. the Battle Hymn of the Republic earworm is back. I need to remove this tune from my brain.
Thanks for nothing. - Stephen Francoeur
Sharing is caring. - ellbeecee
Well that's enough of that kind of caring, thankyouverymuch. - Stephen Francoeur
Mine this morning was Bugs Bunny singing "daintily, daintily" from "The Rabbit of Seville." - Ell Bee, See?
