[GirlinContempt]

a tree.
What'd you guys do?

I cut my crazy friend steph out of the pic so it's not as good

[RandomKoolzip]

1. I spent my evening at work.

Making Belgian food for people who WEREN'T my loved ones.

[GirlinContempt]

2. Wellll

at least you got paid?
I didn't get paid to climb trees

[RandomKoolzip]

3. I get paid in shiny buttons and string.

Me like boss. Boss good man. (grunt) Boss sing song, cut with knife. Yah yah!

[GirlinContempt]

4. Come climb trees

I'll pay you in bugs and barkburn

[RandomKoolzip]

5. Sounds like a trade.

Can I bring Raul, the gruff but extremely unlikable busboy who speaks neither Spanish nor English?

[GirlinContempt]

6. Hmmmmm

I'll consider it... What's his starting wage?

[RandomKoolzip]

7. Porpoise dung.

That, and full medical and dental.

[GirlinContempt]

10. I'll see

what I can do about that. But wait, will he fling the dung from the tree?

[RandomKoolzip]

12. No, he's into macrame.

Give him some yarn, a forty oh of Colt 45, and a copy of "The Porpoise-Driven Life" and he's in tree-climbing heaven.

[GirlinContempt]

13. Sah-weeeet

All up ons that.
Alright. Tomorrow. Noon. The tree by the river with the weird branch. BE THERE.

[RandomKoolzip]

14. Word is bond, G.

[GirlinContempt]

15. I wish I had a gif

of the 'lock in the freshness' handshake I could post RIGHT NOW

[RandomKoolzip]

18. No handshake, but....

Will this do?



Probably not.


Anyways: Me and Raul are like so there.

[GirlinContempt]

20. Slick!

No no no not as good, but still pretty amazing

Mmmm kay, soooooo I will see you there, wear some good shoes dude and pack a lunch.

[In_The_Wind]

8. cuddling with my parrot

I'm sure she would like to hang out in a tree too.


:hi:

[GirlinContempt]

9. Awesome, send her along ;)

[In_The_Wind]

11. so that's like >north & west< of here

can't let her get lost ~ after all ~ she is *the keeper of my heart*

[Heidi]

16. . . . reading "Foucault's Pendulum" and wondering . . .

why I had ever bothered to read "The DaVinci Code."

[GirlinContempt]

17. I hated that book

DaVinci Code

[Heidi]

24. Umberto Eco can write the pants offa Dan Brown.

I rarely read fictim, but I like Eco. Give him a try, GirlinContempt.

[GirlinContempt]

25. I'll

check into it, thanks :)

[tigereye]

40. yes

I couldn't even finish the DaVinci code... there are so many writers who do it better.

Ian Pears, for instance.

[Heidi]

46. Frankly, I'm surprised that Brown hasn't been . . .

publicly accused of plagarism on the basis of The DaVinci Code's ample borrowing from "Foucault's Pendulum."

[Tyrone Slothrop]

48. That's one of my all-time faves

Eco is a true master; the ending is one of the freakiest and most intense I've come across.

Have you read "The Name of the Rose"?

[deadparrot]

19. Watching the West Wing marathon on Bravo. nt

[GirlinContempt]

21. Awesome

[Radical Activist]

22. damn hippie treehugger!

I hiked 14 miles in the woods yesterday and I'm sore as all hell.

Any special reason for being in the tree?

[GirlinContempt]

23. Mmmm not really

just seemed like a sweet idea at the time?

[Radical Activist]

26. cool

I took a small Emma Goldman book I read part of during my lunch break on the hike. Are you a fan of hers?

[GirlinContempt]

27. Awesome

not a huge fan, but she had some pretty good stuff goin on

What do you think of her?

[Radical Activist]

28. Oh she's great.

I agree with her more than with the Marxists of her time. She got pretty disillusioned with Russia for obvious reasons.

[GirlinContempt]

29. Yeah, well

Russia wasn't a Marxist state...
She had some good ideas, she just didn't seem to have enough follow through

[Radical Activist]

30. If Che and the USSR

weren't Marxist, do you think there has ever been a state that actually followed Marx's ideals that you would label Marxist?

[GirlinContempt]

31. Che

proclaimed himself that he wasn't a Marxist, and the USSR was demonstrably not Marxist. I would say, in fact, no. However I see a couple that I believe are on the right path.

[Radical Activist]

33. I agree that

the answer is no, which is why I'm not a Marxist. If it were a viable and realistic system to put into place without being highjacked by authoritarian statists then it would have happened by now.

[GirlinContempt]

42. Well

the same thing could be said about most political theories.

[SOteric]

32. I worked until rather late, then drove out to Lake Forest Park

looking for a store. The store was closed for Memorial Day and I got lost for about 1/2 an hour.

Finally got home, snuggled for a bit with my little kitty-faced pal.

Made a Turkey Sandwich and a cup of green tea for dinner, talked on the phone to DS1 for a bit and then went to bed.

Had a bunch of weird dreams, rolled over and went back to sleep a couple of times, now I'm awake again and posting to DU.

[GirlinContempt]

37. Sounds nice

except for the weird dreams :P

[ghostsofgiants]

34. I did some xvid video compression and then went to sleep at 11

I was way too tired. Now it's 4:20am and I'm wide awake. Fun.

[GirlinContempt]

38. You're

a crazy dude, primate1

[VOX]

35. At my desk -- it's bill-paying time. : (

Also did some clean-up around the house. Feels good to get things squared away.

And so, to bed. :boring:

[GirlinContempt]

45. Bills

are the worst. At least you got it done, right? :)

[SarahB]

36. Hung out with my kiddos.

:D

[GirlinContempt]

44. That's always

a beautiful way to spend an evening :)

[cassandra uprising]

39. a stuper, not finishing packing

and got piss drunk instead. Man am I feeling lousy. Now Chavez is stuck with half packed boxes and cleaning til I get home from work.

:hi:

[tigereye]

41. packing

what's packing? Yeah, make him pack those boxes... ;)

[GirlinContempt]

43. Sounds like

me when I was moving. We moved like, three boxes, stopped, drank a case of beer, and giggled on the floor for a few hours.
:hug: Stop feeling lousy... Apple juice will fix ya right up, dollface

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

47. I put my kids to bed, watched Iron Chef, and went to bed early.

We had to get up early today.

[GirlinContempt]

49. Iron Chef

is sweeeeet. Good choice :)
