When preparing meals, it is very important to note the distinction between chips and chimps.

I'm totally piggybacking one of my neighbor's wireless signals right now. They must be Douglas Adams fans, as the name of the network is deepthought.

The first few days there was no internet signal here, but then day-before-yesterday, poof! there it was. Perfect timing too, since we just got our wireless DSL modem in the mail last night. Oh well, deepthought is slow as Martian molasses anyway.

We're still unpacking, our bedroom is a complete disaster. We pretty much have the kitchen squared away and the living room looks amazing. Pictures would be forthcoming but Jacquelyn's camera decided to go autistic or dyslexic on us, maybe both.

Our new neighborhood is the weirdest ever. It's a very multicultural area of Madison, as we've seen just about every ethnic/racial/genetic variety at one point or another as we've gone out and about. We have several parks and a community garden. The new pool is going up not far from here. There is an old man, who I suspect of being from Guatemala, who wheels a hand-made push cart up and down the streets here, jingling little bells. The kids across the street run out to him and buy ice cream treats.

Yeah, I feel like I live in the Twilight Zone sometimes.

Last night [profile] kiwikat and her husband stayed over. They lost their electricity is a vast tsunami which wiped out parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota. We ordered pizza and watched funny shit on the internet. Have you people seen what Stephen Colbert did the other day? Jesus fuck! Balls of steel! Thank you Stephen!

One last note before I leave you, dear reader, first shift is a breeze if one remembers that one is being paid to work and not being paid to watch movies. Though I did get several pages into Jim Morrison's Adventures in the Afterlife by Mick Farren.

Not bad, Mickey, not bad.

How about I let you keep the skull and you give me, ummm... a big blue bowl?

kay!

but only if you answer me these questions three:
1. what is your name?
2. what is your quest?
3. what is your favorite color?

I am Jeremy of Surrealalot.

My quest is to ultimately fulfill and exhaust the potential of my divine spark which is my true self.

My favorite color is currently dark red.

kay, i guess you can have your bowl back. preferably before i move.

i should just bring it to work on monday and make you sit with it in your cubicle. that would be somewhat surreal and stuff.

i'm going to have to stop commentwhoring to drive home. damn it all!

HAHAHA! Yes, bring it. I want to lug around a big blue bowl all day. Especially since I don't talk to anyone, people will be intimidated and afraid to ask me why I'm carrying a big blue bowl around :P

i'm fine with it if you are... are you really ok with it? it will encourage conversation and i think that's antithetical to your goals at this point...

[identity profile] jackshoegazer.livejournal.com 2006-05-06 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, bring it. It will be interesting. Even if I'm embarassed, my ego could use some tempering. Also, with my switch to first shift, I am attempting to shed some of my lunar personality and adopt some more solar aspects, meaning being a bright shining sun and being friendly and social.

Ick.

careful, being friendly might get you stalked.

i'll try to remember it on monday, but you're not allowed to hate me forever if i forget.

Ok, I promise.
