For Daver:

Saw these in the Williams-Sonoma catalog yesterday and thought of you:

Thanks, Gatsby!
Heading home to finish decorating...
Good evenings to all!

[Zaftig]

So are you going to be home are at school? If you aren't going to be home you need to have someone come by and make fun of you while decorating the tree so you feel more at home. ;)

I think my espresso maker is about to die. It was only 100$ and my very first internet purchase 6 years ago and I think it's seal is finally shot. I'm impressed with how long it's lasted and how good it makes espresso. I hope I find a replacement soon.

[Gatsby]

Oh, I wish I had an expresso maker.

I'll just chalk that up to one more thing I'm bitter about not having 'cause I'm single. If I were married, I'd have sooo much more cool stuff.

I don't get it: get married, everyone showers you with tons of cool stuff in preparation for having twice the income and half the housing expense.

Stay single, pay for everything yourself, and get Jack Shyte.

Oh Gatsby! Keep it up! That's gotta be so hard to do. I wish you the best.

[joppa.gal]

Yeah!!!

You are quitting around the same time which will be my one year Quitting anniversary!!

"I'll get you, little girl, if it's the last thing I do!!"
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/joppa_gal/bigklop.jpg

[lapietra]

You're gonna make it. Just try to add things to your schedule that you can't do because you're smoking. For example - try walking up stairs fast... ;) Find a dog or a cat to pet (they don't like smoke much)...
And may I suggest Altoids Sugarless Gum. Very good for the oral fixation ;)

[Gatsby]

Originally posted by Spicy Jack

Well, I caught a bad headcold, as I am prone to do during finals, because I always run myself down. So I've been coughing and coughing and my chest is burning, so I decided to lay off the cigs for a few days.

Now I'm feeling better, but I'm still stressed about finals. I want a cigarette but I've got a six-day head start on quitting, plus if I start again I'm probably gonna end up with bronchitis....

So I'm going to try to go with it.

[Gatsby]

The problem is, I'm not that motivated to quit. I like smoking.

[lapietra]

I like smoking too - but I like being able to sing better.
You have to find something you like doing better than smoking that you can't do if you smoke. :)

[Gatsby]

I keep trying to remind myself that I want to lose weight, and I can't run on the treadmill for shite when I smoke a lot.

I guess that's my motivation.

But smoking wins out a lot of the time. :rolleyes:

[Klynne]

I am bored.

[Klynne]

Gosh, I don't know. I am bored with no imagination tonight. Very sad combination.

[Spicy Jack]

How about showing some love and respect and saying something nice about our friends on the board? :)

Lala is very sweet and has a good singing voice. I miss singing show tunes with her and the gang in Las Vegas.

Spicy is fun to hang with.

Deviate is cool. Where has she been.

on the subject of say nice things about monkeys...here are some easy ones:

Lala is a sweet host, funny, a truly beautiful person...and my only regret from the weekend is that I didn't get to try her famous brownies. Judging by THE most flavorfull eggs (omg those were WONDERFUL) and scones, I'm certain her brownies must be amazing.

xxxooo

Spicy Jack is a NUT, a really really good Nut. She is cute as a bug (no I don't know what that expression means...but it is positive I'm sure), and was a faboulous fabric shopping tour guide. Thank you for putting me up for two nights. You ROCK.

xxxooo

Dr. Smooth is such a terrific guy. A gracious chaufer on our travels, a fantastic digital chronicaler of our adventures, very very nice, an uber super dude.

shakes smoothies hand.

Rapscalious Rob surprised me at how quite he is, however, everything he did say rhymed ( kidding :D ). He radiated kindness, and I enjoyed getting a chance to meet him. His nerd laugh (faked) is not to be missed...A classic.

Man, I wanted to be there, but I am a slave to vacation time. I used most of it up last year when I went to Thailand. I am slowly building it up again. Maybe the next reunion.

It is an animated (the animation style is about my favorite thing about the film...wonderful images) story about a grandmother and her bicycleing grandson. Terrific music as well. I think it is pretty recent, and in DVD rentals now.

I did and really didn't like it. However, everyone else I know did, so I will have to watch it again.

[Gatsby]

Yes, I have no bananas.

What does that mean? Where does that come from?

***********************************************

I am watching Mystic River right now. It is on HBO.

[melissa]

I wish I had a movie to watch.

[Large Marge]

You're not alone, Daisy. I thought it sucked, too.

But I like Bridget Jones' Diary - the first one.

Same director, I think.

[Large Marge]

Here ya go, Gatsby:

Q: "Yes! We Have No Bananas" _In one of our client meetings, this phrase has come up very often. One of the members of the group wants to know the origin of the phrase. We know that it traces back to the vaudeville song of the same title, but do you have any information on the phrase which predates the song? Or did the phrase simply emerge because of the song itself?

A: You must have some fun clients (or some very odd ones!) _YES! WE HAVE NO BANANAS by Frank Silver and Irving Cohn, was arguably the most popular song of the 1920s. It was released on March 23, 1923 and kicked around the Vaudeville stage without much impact until Eddie Cantor happened to hear it. Cantor put the song into his new show "Make it Snappy" and the rest is history. Popular recordings were made by Cantor and by Billy Murray and by Billy Jones. The song became a hit, then a mega-hit, then a phenomenon. In England, the sheet music sold more than half a million copies during its first month of sales. Unlike most popular songs of the era, it never faded in popularity and even today it is one of the few songs that you can count on virtually anyone to know.

Legend has it that the songwriters overheard a Greek fruit stand owner utter the famous phrase. It may be true, but the Greek fruitier was also a stock character in Vaudeville and it is just as likely that it was the song was inspired by a Vaudeville routine or written as yet another in a tradition of dialect songs. However it was inspired, you can safely say the song originated the phrase. There is also a story that "Ja, Wir Haben Keine Bananen (Heute)" was banned by Nazi censors as anti-Aryan propaganda.

After the song became a hit, the Westman Company, which published the sheet music for Handel's Messiah took the publishers of "Bananas" to court, claiming that the melody was a direct steal from a portion of the Messiah. They won and were awarded a share of the song's profits. Actually the song seems to be a pastiche of several popular pieces of music. According to "The Treasury of Popular Song", the tune of the chorus goes:

Hallelujah, Bananas
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me
I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls
the kind that you seldom see
I was seeing Nellie home
to an old fashioned garden, but
Hallelujah, Bananas
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me

The song everyone knows is actually just the chorus of the original song. Hardly anyone knows that verses ever existed. (In fact I didn't until you asked)

Yes! We Have No Bananas
There's a fruit store on our street
It's run by a Greek.
And he keeps good things to eat
But you should hear him speak!
When you ask him anything, he never answers "no".
He just "yes"es you to death,
and as he takes your dough, he tells you...
Yes! We have no bananas
We have no bananas today
We have string beans and onions, cabBAges and scallions
and all kinds of fruit and say
We have an old fashioned toMAHto
A Long Island poTAHto, but
Yes! We have no bananas
We have no bananas today

[bealeblues]

snow/ice on the ground = beale staying in bed until it melts. however long that takes.

Nice day today.
My bandmates and I, and 9 other amatuer astronomers helped the Astronomical Society of the Pacific's Night Sky Network (a NASA funded astronomy outreach program) review a set of educational materials to teach the concept of Black Holes. The final materials will probably be released to Night Sky Members in April or May. It was a really cool day. The ASP came up with some very cool (and a few not so cool) projects, games, hands on demonstrations, Power Point progams, and Star Party handouts that we all reviewed and then critiqued, suggested changes, etc.

The ASP is the group that gave my Astro outreach band an award this year. It was very cool that we were specifically invited to help. It was held at the Chabot Science Center in Oakland, a great setting for the day.

It's weird...I'm like an expert in a very cool science niche (astronomy educational outreach), I'm helping out NASA with my insight into this field...yet I can't hardly understand algebra or any math beyond Plus, Minus, Divide, %, fractions, and Multiply.
:D :D :D

[bealeblues]

here's something random--- NASA's director, or whatever he is, is resigning to be LSU's chancellor....

Who the HELL woulda thought that a thirty-nine year old arthritic should warm up before skiing?

Jury agreed on sentence for Scott Peterson

Annoucement: 1:30

[Spicy Jack]

shall we vote on what we think?

I'm voting they agreed on Life.

[Hermione]

I think they'll give him death because the jury saw autopsy photos just before they agreed.

[Hermione]

Jury Recommends death for Peterson

[Spicy Jack]

wow. you were right. injection for peterson.

[Avalon]

Automatic appeal for a death sentence case; he'll be on death row for years.

[Spicy Jack]

eh...decades. we won't kill anyone. too liberal.

[Avalon]

He doesn't get sentenced until Feb. 25th, 2005; the judge does have the power to reverse the decision and give him life. Special.

[Hermione]

I doubt he'll change it. I think they only change the jury's decision if there was an error of law committed. In this case, I think the judge will honor the jury's recommendation.

[Avalon]

The attorney speaking said she did not believe the judge would change it either; but that he did have the power to do so. She also said that if for some reason he did, she thought it would be because this was largely a circumstantial case. ( Her name is Linley Brown on CNN. )

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

What ever happend to Kris Kross, they must be in their 30's by now.

[Zaftig]

Would this day just please end. How come days that the anniversary of an event that is hard to remember seem to drag on and on.

[Gatsby]

Because you're thinking about it.

Distract yourself.

[melissa]

I've been thinking of you all day, Zaftig. I meant to send you a PM, but haven't had time yet. I hope this day isn't too hard for you. Get lots of hugs from Simage!!

Every time my eyes open I distract myself by going back to sleep but that therapy has just worn off. That's why I'm here. Thanks.

[Gatsby]

My attention span is totally shot today.

Thanks Meliss, that means a lot. No one remembered. Not that I expected them too but I do appreciate the kind words.

Go do something really nice for yourself!

Take $20, go to the drugstore and buy a new color of polish and bath salts. Maybe a bottle of wine. Maybe your favorite fast food. Dedicate the evening to being nice to yourself and relaxing.

Now that sounds like a plan. I'm making dinner soon and when Sim gets home from work we're going to eat and I'm going to take off for a bit I think. Being stuck home doesn't help.

[melissa]

I totally remembered, Zaftig. I wished that I had your phone number earlier, b/c I wanted to call and let you know that you're in my thoughts today. It's especially hard when a day has so much meaning for you, but no one else recognizes it. No one in my family calls me on my day of sadness, and I know that they remember it, so I don't know what their excuse is.

Here, here. Or hear, hear.

Whatever. Ditto.

[Zaftig]

I agree. Same with my family. It's not that I want attention but I remember their children. . . I just don't know. I was talking to my sister and I just didn't feel like talking much. She finally figured it out and didn't really know what to say. I will say that it does make me realize that I will recognize these kinds of days for others. Or at least make a great effort. I don't know what I'm saying. I'm in the middle of a pity party. :D

[Avalon]

Oh Zaf, I am so sorry hon. We are all thinking about you.
*hugs for you and Sim*

[Zaftig]

Thanks Av, that truly does mean a lot. It's funny how the smallest words of comfort from friends can mean so much.

[Hermione]

someone really cute just PMd you Zaf!

[drivinmissdaisy]

I hope your night has gotten better.

To not make it today reneges on the previous statement, isn't that correct?

Awww, I guess I'll just have to sit here with my whiskey and my casebook then.

assuming we had an oral contract, which at all times i deny, even if there was a breach of said contract, which at all times i deny, you still have yet to establish any measure of damages which you may have sustained, and i further submit that even if damages were sustained, which at all times i deny, you have failed to mitigate those damages, thereby reducing your said damages, if any, to a level that is miniscule, at best. thus, your claim, if indeed you have one, which at all times i deny, isn't ripe for adjudication at this point at time, rendering all arguments and submissions premature.

defense rests.
