What shall I do?

Which human qualities generally come to mind when thinking of engineers?

Sexy brains!

Opposable thumbs.

How about integrity. Engineers like working with each other.

^structural integrity

I have to write a bio for myself an upcoming performance and I HAT writing those. Can you write one for me?

^^flannel shirts

Born in 1883 as the youngest son of itinerant clamdiggers, Bman learned to enjoy linguine con le vongole from an early age. As a child, he often frolicked with the walruses, making them jaunty hats out of kelp and discarded milk jugs. The otters were jealous and plotted an assassination attempt in the spring of his 10th year; although it did not succeed, he retains the jagged scar curving starboard above his left ear to this day. His brothers and sisters craved his company and the amusing traditional Cantonese operas he would compose and puppeteer himself. Although he did well in school, he was frequently bored, and his record was marred in his sophomore year by a poorly described incident involving the infamous Albuquerque Salisbury steak protests.

With the modest sum he had saved from an early business as an aardvark impressionist, Bman funded a trip to Paris to further his classical education in ballet. Spending his days dancing and his nights listening to experimental Tyrolean Pan flute maslenitza carols, he soon resolved never to leave. He was an imposing figure, rarely seen without his riding crop and otter tooth necklace. However, during a torrid love affair with Josephine Baker he revealed that he prefers kiwi fruit to bananas. She struck him repeatedly in the ankles with a first edition of The Etheric Double and Allied Phenomena, by Arthur Powell. The injury and subsequent heartbreak drove him back home, to our benefit.

Despite his advanced age and debilitating involuntary cringing disorder, he can serve a four course meal in three courses, holds the world record for speed rose gardening, and can solve quadratic equations in six languages. None of these skills can hold a candle to his impending performance tonight. Please join me in welcoming....

Mr. Bman!

^^ obviously mo answered the question from the OTHER day...
((i am fairly embarrassed)) :o

^^ :D :D :D

^Both are uncanny especially in regards to labels, walruses and jaunty hats, I will never write another bio again.

¿when was the last time you... watched tv? ... ehh, i mean..
like..PHYSICAL: television set; you PLANTED your CHUBBY ARSE
in front of the set.......?

.

I watched part of Rachael Ray the other morning, where Mario Batali made a robust-looking jalapeno pesto.

Our TV (admittedly mostly for gaming and netflix) is that new-fangled ridiculously high definition, so I got heartburn.

i'm watching tv right now

i have not had a show that i sat down regularly to watch
since i dream of jeanie
i watched the DVDs of the sopranos and
with my husband
we basically watched on show a night right through all the episodes
not sure if i enjoyed it or not
later when i was sick i watche big love
more or less went right through all the seasons
in a few days mostly i did it because
i love Tom Hanks :)
other than that, no real tv whatsoever
i have sent a lot of money to the cable provider
throughout the years
though

Actual TV set?
Not in a couple years...don't even own one.
I only watch Netflix and that doesn't even carry current shows.
Last TV series I watched was the complete SOAP series from the 70's(?) What a fabulous show btw.

I watch a lot of TV. Hours and hours and hours of it sometimes. With snacks, weed and a snuggie. And a cat. It's wonderful. Sometimes I fall asleep watching it. It's replaced almost all of my most meaningful relationships.

^i would if I didn't have a full time job! TIVO is great for Curb.

^Brynn should open a spa, this sounds fantastic

I like that post, thanks, zero.

I never watched too much TV. Now I watch it with irregular frequency, at about once in two months. I hate ads. I think it will be those that will eventually put me off the internet, too.

^ That's what TiVo's for!

I watch a lot right now since I'm employed by a television-watching company of a dubious nature that doesn't exist.

i am enjoying an xmas holiday of 2 weeks :eek: :eek: :)

so far, i've done the following:

• laundry
• bought xmas gifts
• declogged the shower drain
• refilled the central heating thing/boiler/furnace/whatever it's called with water because the pressure was low
• rewired the bathroom electricity

i've got more rewiring planned for tomorrow. what exciting things are you doing this xmas holiday?

I believe I shall be starting a new job this Xmas holiday, after a month plus job hunt. Not getting hopes up because all jobs seem to suck these days, but some work is better than no work. At least it is in a field I have enjoyed working before.

I shall be:
-sending good job juju to several also out of work friends this season.
-spending xmas day with mother and that other person.
-snuggling my cat (shut it Marcus, that is not a metaphor).
-trying to stay warm on my boat.
-phoning friends since I'm way to disorganized to send cards (TYVM dear, you know who you are...PM a current # if you would like a call to :) )
-being thankful for the positive things in my life, and trying not to be too negative about the other stuff.

I'm going to have a happy holiday.
I'm planning to:
- read and re-read (Larsson, Pratchett, and some yet to be received for Christmas books)
- watch all James Bond movies then Shrek, Lion King, Ice Age, the Prince of Egypt etc.
- learn a bit of Russian every day
- visit my sister
- do a bit of cleaning
- go to the zoo (if the weather permits)
- cook and eat good things

I am judging the Dictionary Game :p

I am looking forward to washing the dog hair out of my bathrobe, and taking lights down from the front yard that were lit all year until they shorted out right as the holiday season started.

We are happily planning to do fwkall for xmas and new years. I have some presents to mail off at some point in the next week or so (deadline prioritization - DG gets judged before xmas gets posted). I have also received a few lovely cards from various corners of the globe, which I will answer in kind :)

You win!!
