really? @ 09:31 am


I can't believe people are still using this... Isn't 'live journal' so 2 years ago?

So, what time are things going down today? Brooke & i want to come to Baumgartners if there's time... Anyone gotten ryan? His cars busted. If we get him can someone bring him home? What time will you be at Baumgartners? Once we rescue the princess how do we escape? What time will we be playing yard games? Am i allowed to play yard games (sorry Bethany)? Croquet perhaps?

These are questions...

title @ 02:06 pm

Oh Shit... i need a title for my conference paper... Any ideas? It's about Gunther von Hagens' BodyWorlds and the idea of public versus private death. How we hide death away from the world, autopsies are done behind closed doors and corpses are only presented to us as painted, 'life-like' things. Whereas in the past, autopsies were public events, like lectures...
People were once more comfortable than death than they are now...

What should i call this paper?

"i smell, i smell, i smell...hm, Ducky" @ 12:35 pm

Today i used "Waterfall Mist" shampoo, "Dove" facial cleanser, and "Adiddas" body wash, so my hair smells like a creek, my face like a pigeon, & my body smells like a soccer ball.

Speaking of Cucumber @ 10:07 am

Monday night, Brooke & i went to "blue", a sushi restaurant in Omaha. It was ok, but in the water there were slices of cucumber as a garnish... and i thought to myself, "Man, that's ridiculous, trying to 'look ultra-hip' by putting some random vegetable in the water" but then i tried it, and the water just slightly tasted like cucumber, which was great... So now cucumber (plain) is my favorite water garnish...

And somebody told me (was it you?) that some people use cucumber as a martini garnish. Tell me more.

fun @ 10:20 am

Hi everybody... We had a blast of a weekend with y'z'all... Thanks for making the trip out & thanks boys for hosting a wonderfully meaty party saturday...

In other news, brooke & i decided that if we win the lottery, we would buy a big house with lots of rooms & each of our friends could have their own room that they could design & decorate & keep their stuff in...
So, be looking forward to that.

Hey Everybody!

Gilbertson is online and has invited all Nebraska-bound folk to hang out at Brooke & Gilbertson's place for a while when you get to town (either before or after dinner or whatever)... We've got guacamole & chips & salsa & Margaritas... and all.

Lawn Party!

 

Cinco De Mayo @ 09:19 am

Burned out Ohio...

Hey all Nebraska Bound Folk (and Nebraskanally-centralled folk, too). Friday, as you may kno(w) is Cinco De Mayo... And also the day you all get to Nebraska. So, in addition to whatever 'Dundee Dell' Fun you have planned, we should do some going out, or some margarita-drinking, or shoot some pistolas into the air...

vaya con dios.

once you've been tagged, you have to write a blog with six weird facts/things/habits about yourself, saying who tagged you. in the end you need to choose the six people to be tagged & list their names. no tag backs.

DaveT tagged me... and should have added to his own list that #7, evidently has no will of his own and does anything kelly tells him to... keep that in mind, kelly, the great power you possess... Should you ever need an army of adequately-mouthed spaghetti-phobes... well, you've got one at least. I'll keep looking.

I

1) am a chronic self-promoter..., but really just because i am seeking affirmation.

2) am mildly obsessive compulsive... when nobody's around, i generally listen to my cds in the order they sit on the shelf...

3) lie, i lie, i lie, when i cry, when i cry...

4) didn't ever really believe there was a cave out there... just wanted to go for a bike-ride

5) am often envious of Lost Wednesday participants...

6) am usually up for a game of D&D... if anybody brought it up

6b)actually want to play Atmosfear when we make the joke...

i tag Peabo Bryson, Kirk Cameron, Alf, Liz Phair, Captain Kangaroo (if he's dead, i'll switch to Cameron Diaz) & Ted Dibiase.
