um...cuz i don't like jimmy buffet! i actually don't really listen to music. i'd rather listen to podcasts or books. i'm a nerd and lame, i know, i know.

i'll give it to you when we finally meet up for dinner?
jenks - 05/28/08 11:26

UPDATED movies and food? estip outing!!
Faben and I are going to see Death note tomorrow at Regal Elmwood. It's a film adaptation of a japanese manga by the same name and its only playing for 2 days, today and tomorrow. if you've never heard of it, it's probably cuz you're not as cool as Faben and I, but you CAN become quasi-cool if you go and see the movie.

It's playing at 7:30pm and we'll probably go to the chinese buffet beforehand, to stuff our faces with greasy egg rolls and muscles in bean sauce. too bad it's not friday, then we could stuff our faces with all you can eat crab legs for $10 bucks. on non-crab days, i think the buffet is $8.95 which is totally reasonable. and this buffet is pretty decent. it still has fried shrimp and black bean sauce muscles on normal day, along with all of the usual chinese buffet stuff.

but it would be cool if we could all meet up to eat before going to the movie. it could be our monthly dinner that jim (or is it james?) usually organizes, but this time it would include a movie. it would be like a real date. i could even let you touch my boob during the movie!

come on guys....it's been forever since we've done anything together!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is a story NPR did on it


and here is the trailer


anyone want to go?

since the movie is playing only twice, i'm pretty sure it's going to be packed. faben said that when naruto was playing, it was completely sold out, so.....you should either buy your ticket online at fandango.com or go before going to eat and buy your ticket then. plus if we want to get good seats, we'll have to go to the theater fairly early too, so we HAVE to be in there by 7pm at the latest, but 6:45pm preferably. and if we want to eat in peace with ample time to get seconds, and thirds and fifths, we should show about an hour before that to eat. so i'm thinking that 5:45 should good enough.

so.....

5:45pm if you want to join us for dinner

and 6:45 if you're going straight to the theater.



let me know in the comments if you're coming. it's been so long since i've seen you guys. i want to make out with each and every single one of you in the dark, dank theater, so it could be worth your while if you're looking for some action!

mrmike - 05/21/08 09:32
I've always aspired to quasi-cool, probably will never make it, but the prospect of cool movie, greasy chinese food, making out in the dark dank, boobage, and maybe an unhealthy amount of popcorn has me trying to wriggle free from a couple of obligations this evening :)
drew - 05/20/08 22:05
I love an estrip outing, and I REALLY love buffets, but cannot do it tomorrow.
jenks - 05/20/08 19:48
p.s. there's a 'respectable' pic of you at work in your breast cancer luncheon post recently. ;)
jenks - 05/20/08 19:47
maaaayyyybeee...

Hopefully I will have cause to celebrate tomorrow.

I haven't seen you guys in ages.

Maybe i can even drag dan along.

p.s. can you look up my path report at RPCI? she was "85% sure" it was going to be basal cell, but then called today to say it's not. So i want to know what it is!
imk2 - 05/20/08 19:43
i'll change my user pic so that you can get an idea. plus if you ever want to look at people party pics from holiday and birthday parties, like (e:jenks), (e:ladycroft) and (e:metalpeter), there are plenty of pics of me there, although they're usually with my legs spread apart or bent over with (e:terry)'s face in my ass.

oh those were the days!!!

plus, my daughter is biracial, so i'll be the white girl with the brown(ish) teenager with curly black hair.
tiburon1724 - 05/20/08 19:38
I'll come along. I'll probably have to come straight from work but I'll try to be at star buffet at 5:45! I've never met anyone from estrip before so um imk, what do you look like!
imk2 - 05/20/08 19:06
so will you be coming (pun intended) then?
mrmike - 05/20/08 19:05
Best enticement I've had to a movie I know nothing about in ages...
metalpeter - 05/20/08 18:31
I look forward to going to that Buffet I haven't been there in a long time.
imk2 - 05/20/08 18:22
I think I forgot to add that the buffet is called star buffet and it is right in the Regal Plaza.
imk2 - 05/20/08 18:18
Can you go by yourself then? I'll pick you up if you want.
paul - 05/20/08 18:12
I really want to go but its the last night of American Idol and I think (e:matthew) might die if we miss it.
metalpeter - 05/20/08 18:05
I will be there in my work clothes maybe but I'll be at the Buffet around 5:45 Pm I just have to figure out if I should go home first or go right from work, I can map that out in a little bit. I'm about to try and figure out the ordering tickets on line thing and how I pick them up.

05/20/2008 03:44 #44397

holy fucking shit.
All I can say is wow......


I'm glad I wasn't standing for the bus on that corner.

strippers and hangovers
a couple of my friends and i went out to some dive bar last night and after a few drinks i got a great idea that we should all go to a strip club. anyone who knows me, knows how much i loooove strip clubs.

So I called Marvin to see if he would be willing to meet us. even though he had to work at 6 am today he was a was a good sport and came out. maybe the hint that if I was toasted and horny he might get some action was an incentive.

we' ended going to 24 karat gold. the strippers were not all that bad, certainly not like colony lounge, but they were expensive. since when did they start charging per person for lap dances? it used to cost for couples the same as they did for one person, but now they charge $44 for a couple! and seeing that by the time the lap dances rolled around, i was wasted, i saw nothing wrong with paying for a lap dance the first time around and having marvin pay for the second one right afterward. that's $88 for two songs worth of entertainment. $88 for like 6 minutes plus like $20 for tips!!!

plus, the ATM there charges $10 to get money out! and i used the ATM twice!!

AND with all the drinks and tips and a table dance...ugh, i don't even want to look at my account today. i don't want to know how much money i spent.

i also ran into a chick i went to high school with, who has been working there since high school. can you imagine working at a strip club for 12 years?? granted she was a bar tender and not a stripper, but still.

but we all had a great time. i haven't been to a strip club in years, so for the amount of fun we had, i'd say it was worth it. it certainly wasn't like a canadian club, since nothing can compare to the wonders that go on there, but it wasn't bad. poor marvin was so sick today. he had to work a double today, starting at 6 am. we didn't get home until close to 4. he didn't finish working until 8pm tonight. ugh, i can't imagine what he was going through.

today i went and bought an xbox. i've been wanting one for so long, and finally i'm going to be able to play oblivion.

booze, strippers and video games....who could ask for a better weekend.

fellyconnelly - 05/20/08 08:22
strippers creep me out. but yay for xbox!!
metalpeter - 05/19/08 19:45
An (e:strip) trip to a strip club sounds awesome. I'm glad You had a great time. I think I have been to 4 strip clubs and never been to the ones in the falls. The ones in Toronto are tame compared to the falls ones in the words kinda of a dancer in TO no going on stage or having water poured on your boxers on the girls looking down your boxers is GTR still open. The only thing that I can think of that would have made your weekend better would have had the strippers strip as you played Grand theft Auto or some game you like.
jenks - 05/19/08 11:10
wow... sounds like I missed out... I was on call and at work til 1am, bleh....
glad you had fun, though!
vincent - 05/19/08 00:51
Mademoiselle Folies Bergere is a descent place.

I think we should have a (e:strip) venture to the "ballet" sometime.
mrmike - 05/18/08 22:54
Good for you
tinypliny - 05/18/08 22:47
You are going to hate me most heartily for this. But this needs to be done. Since I think this is a worthwhile cause (and there are 90 days to a return), I am going to plunge right in, without regard to the consequences.

Have you registered?

You know what I am talking about.

tiburon1724 - 05/18/08 22:09
too funny - last night I went to colony for the first time, never even knew it was there! terrible! there's no point to strip clubs here, gotta go to Sundowner!

"crazy" computer eating ants!


"They’re voracious eaters, hairy and just about unstoppable."

Scientists are unsure of their origin and have had to recognize them as a new species and think they have been brought to Huston by a cargo ship. No article I found lists exactly where from they think they arrived. They're called Rasberry ants after a local exterminator that was the first in trying exterminating them. They're also called crazy ants because instead of marching in a single straight line, like so many ants do, they just swarm everywhere without any apparent rhyme or reason.

"They take over whole neighborhoods sometimes. There are just thousands and thousands of them all over the property."

Apparently, they're so bad ass, that they eat fire ants, that Texas is known for. They also eat little wild chicken hatchlings too. But the craziest thing is, is that they eat electronic equipment, like computers, fire alarms, gas meters, pumps at sewage pumping stations, televisions, etc...

"They do get into electrical outlets and boxes,"

apparently they're attracted to the wiring and chew through it whenever possible.

and they're super smart too. after spraying pesticides, they use the dead ants as makeshift bridges, by piling them up and traveling over the dead bodies in order to cross the pesticide treated surfaces.

better make sure you check your phone receiver before putting it to your ear.....ewww.....

libertad - 05/17/08 16:06
I saw that. Seems very scary to think of that spreading all over the place. Seems like a cheesy thriller.
