I have the biggest crush on Jean Luc. I try not to tell many people that cause it ruins my non-nerd image.

I am Steve of Borg Burger. How may I take your order? Comply.

Strange Dream
Category: dreams
I had a dream last night that I was a run away child of a Yakuza mobster. Drew and Janelle took me in as a foster child.

Then, it started getting even weirder. They kept finding other kids hidden in their house that I'd took pity on and invited over. Like, we'd be in the living room and all of a sudden we'd notice some kid hidding under the couch. Or in closets, just everywhere.

Drew and Janelle were very sympathetic and didn't want to force these kids to go back out on the streets, but by the end of the dream there were like 30 of us kids in their house and they were starting to panic about how to take care of us. They were very aggravated with me for putting them in the position of having to take in all these kids, but were too nice to say anything.

Then I woke up.

crap! I think Pliny is onto our phantom banana harvesting scheme!
tinypliny - 10/10/08 22:36
Hahaha, join the absolutely outlandish dream club. You and (e:james) were on the terrace in front of my flat window, harvesting bananas from mini-palm trees with sickles in one of my recent dreams. Oh, and of course you were speaking in fluent Tamil. It was so bizarrely real, I had to get up and look out the window just to make sure.
drew - 10/10/08 14:15
I would throw your freeloading ass out. I don't know what Janelle is talking about.
janelle - 10/10/08 11:20
What a funny dream. Rofl. If you were the child of a yakuza mobster, did you look Japanese or were you still white?

The funny thing is that Drew and I would be too nice to say anything about all those kids. We'd just step up and take care of them.

O_O
jim - 10/10/08 10:00
I was a girl in the dream too, which I can't remember ever dreaming before.
drew - 10/10/08 09:51
I hope this dream doesn't come true. It's funny, just last night I joked that as the economy collapses, we may have to take some people in. I didn't think it would be you, jim.

E:Strip Holiday Dinner
I'll be planning an (e:strip) holiday dinner, for sometime in early December (between Thanksgiving and Christmas).

This post is just a heads up, I'll make another post in a month to nail down availability and the best times for everyone.

JJ's and India Gate have both worked out OK in the past. If the group is big enough I'll reserve a banquet room somewhere to make sure we have enough space. Any ideas along these lines, please comment!

Cheers,

Jim
matthew - 12/13/08 12:36
Are you still planning on doing this this year?
imk2 - 10/09/08 17:32
oh wow, i forgot about the dinners. i vote for india gate.
paul - 10/09/08 09:26
Sorry I missed this - I have been so busy this week. We can have it at our house. Its not a big deal. It gives us a reason to use the first floor, lol.

mmmmmmm canned pudding.....
janelle - 10/07/08 16:23
OMG, chocolate pudding?! I love chocolate pudding! You're the best (e:James).
james - 10/07/08 12:48
That is pretty awesome of you Drew. I feel bad always doing stuff at PMT's estate.

Just for (e:Janelle) I will bring a giant can of institutional pudding!
drew - 10/07/08 10:59
I love a pot luck and can share church space. I would open my home, but it is rather pet-infested.
james - 10/07/08 09:54
May I also suggest pot luck at some place free of pets. Either that or Paul had to wear a hazmat suit.

Yak Shaving
Category: culture
An awesome term, for when you find yourself doing some task at 8 removes from what you meant to be doing, each step along the way seemingly utterly necessary...

You start out deciding to tidy your room and you realize that in order to do that you'll need some more trash bags, so you need to go to the shops, which will involve you getting out the car, but the car needs gas, so you'll need to go to the gas station first, which means you should probably find your gas discount card, which involves finding your keys, which are in the room somewhere... ( )



And ultimately, in order to tidy your room, you somehow end up shaving a yak.

You know it's happened to you too!
metalpeter - 10/03/08 19:09
That is what kinda keeps my place a mess. The papers pile up because I don't have a filling place. I don't have one of those because of the clothes everywhere, I can't put the clothes away because the video tapes prevent me from having a place to put a dresser so I don't buy one, ha, but it is true.
dcoffee - 10/03/08 10:32
haha, I was totally expecting some Ren and Stimpy
tinypliny - 10/02/08 21:19
I have put this up on my office wall.

Doing is well NOW is much better that doing it perfectly later.

Excellent guidance for me. :/

Thanks for posting that link in chat.
james - 10/02/08 20:39
I just shave my cooch instead.
