Oh! Oh! Oh! I forgot to mention this! A day before or after valentine's day, I was driving home from work, and in the sky I saw a red heart balloon gently drifting in the sky and thought, oh! It's a valentine from the Board

i groped the walls at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver (uber-swanky hotel, where Canadian Idol was today). I thought of you all then

i don't know why, but it seems that groping reminds me of the board the most...

Each time I get my own Winde Ensemble email, nicely headed with "WE people!", I always think "World's End? What? Why is Mueller... ooooooh yeah. Neeeeever mind."
That and I'll randomly say something about the board to my friends or boyfriend forgetting they have NO IDEA who you people are.
And finally, when my cousins amazingly idiotic best friend started calling "llamas" "islams" (and "alpacas" "pakistans") I kept wondering what fluffyllama would think.

Check out what I found at school today.



And believe it or not, I didn't make that! What a cool little find.

Funny!

Daniel Kitson at the Battersea Arts Centre last night (paraphrased because my memory is not perfect so please transpose the following into beautiful poetic English):

"I used to think that people ought to be able to extrapolate my opinion on anything from my opinion on any one thing. However I have come to the realisation that this is not possible and that no-one else can really know what is going on in my head and I can't ever be sure that another person is experiencing something in the same way that I am experiencing it...

In Edinburgh last year I found myself having to traverse the Grassmarket area on a Friday night, for those of you who don't know the area it is a sort of elongated town square, which is occupied on a Friday night by the same sort of people you find in any British town square. As I was crossing head down, avoiding the idiots I saw a young man at the other side of the square and he was alone, he had a beard, though not as big as mine, dream on, and was wearing brown cords. Now to me brown corduroy trousers are a mark of a someone with whom I would expect a rapport on some level and as I passed this bloke I looked at him hoping to exchange a look of 'why do we have to be here in this mire of scum when others like us are at home enjoying some lyrically ambitious melancholic piano driven indie pop'.

And he gave me back a look that said 'Get out of my way'...

So I have decided that since the trousers were a misleading signpost it would be a good idea for there to be symbol for people with the same views and outlook, hatred of the mainstream and dissatisfaction the alternative to the mainstream and the mainstream alternative and have decided that we should carry a red balloon, on a piece of string."

yesterday I watched that Flying Circus episode with the llama song...

"Llamas are larger than frogs!"

This past week:

I have worked on JP magazine.
I spilled ranch dressing all over myself.

There was something else ... but I forget.

Saw this in Edinburgh:

Tigerlily

ok, there's alcohol. i'm so there. *sigh*

This is kinda related :

So, when I was at my mom's house over the weekend, she was looking over my shoulder as I was reading the board. She saw all the eggs in everyone's sigs and asked what they were. I told her about the eggs and she delightedly got her own eggs for her own sig on her own message board. And now apparantly all her board friends are getting their own eggs.

So. Yeah. The Board reminds me of the real world

My sister took me to lunch today.

They served tortilla chips with two dips. One salsa and one was ranch dressing.

The morning show on one of our local stations was doing the SNL Blue Oyster Cult skit.

"I gotta have MORE COWBELL!" Goes back to first time at Chadder's.

And just got an e-message with favorite blueberry recipes. So I thought of AmyMod.

I have a new knitting book (mobius knitting designs - very trippy) and there's a picture of a fuzzy baby llama.

it is simply the most adorable thing!

Wow, I just saw this thread for the first time. That's cool James.

Beezee, would you like a glass of fine champagne?

No, you're not. I went there with friends a few weeks ago (and thought of you, yay!) and the place was full of crap. Metaphorically speaking, that is. Expensive-brothel-looking place, filled with everyone who just came out of their offices to be seen in expensive suits and having even more expensiv ecocktails (I actually refused to drink anything, 3.35 for a pint of Stella? Are you fucking joking??)

Anyway. I was watching TV with the chef boy the other night, a docu about the Incas. so eventually the llamas appear, and I shout 'Llama!!'
(Chef boy misunderstood the cry and he replied his standard phrase whenever I get excited when I see stuff on TV: 'No, you cannot have a llama'.)

I think that's pretty much a universal guy response to things like that

ditto JP.

Ooh, and here I thought he'd mastered mind-reading techniques...
(Incidentlly, the phrase was overused during the Narnia movie 'No, you cannot have a cantaur', 'No, you cannot have a phoenix', but I got a 'Hmm... maybe...' with the mermaids.)
