1909

Heruka:
You know, this warm weather has been fucking with my mind lately. Stepping outside, I feel like I'm in some bizarre alter-world. Everyone once in a while I'll get this feeling that I'm in another place or time than whjere I really am. January thaw is one of those time. Everything is thawing, but the sound is still muffled. Really strange. Once, when I was completely drunk in a town just west of here, it was like summertime and this town has a main street, it's an old town, but on main street they have trees planted. Like a lot of towns. But they keep white lights all lit up in the trees year round. So after wlking out of the bar that I used to hang at, which serves the best pint odf Guinness in the county mind you. But walking out, I ened up on a bench, lating upside town just staring at the lights. At that particular time I felt I was in Holland during Christmas time. I've never been to Holland. But I had that feeling y'know. Whenever this seem not right, out of place. Like staring at a DeChirico painting. It seems fine, but it's got this bizarre vibe to it. And I got that feeling from the warm weather. I'm not used to it. I've never spent winter in a warm environment. Does this make any sense? I still have picture flashes from the movie The Martian Chronicles, and I haven't seen that since I was a child. I think I'm slowly going insane.

Myk Murphy:
I have no idea what heruka posted. The phone will not display it. Must have been huge. Good morning, loungers.

Myk Murphy:
I found out yesterday that this office once threw keg parties. A shame that missed its heyday. They probably kept their clothes on, unlike the new mud hut!

Decoy:
You should keep an extra set of clothes in case you lose yours. Morning, unexpectedly naked loungers.

Cushca:
I'm all alone.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:15:52 am)

(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:17:31 am)

Decoy:
All alone? There must be someone there you can talk to. Someone that stimulates you somehow.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:18:29 am)

Cushca:
Not one fucking person. I've just gone and got myself a sandwich on my own, and now I've got back here, the whole fucking place is deserted. And even if anyone were here, I wouldn't really want to talk to any of them anyway. I think it's time to change jobs.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:20:41 am)

Decoy:
I feel sorry for you. At leasat really annoying people don't insist that you go to lunch with them and then complain about all kinds of things that you think are mostly their fucking problem and if they would just shut up and do their job the problem would go away. Its just hard.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:26:27 am)

Cushca:
Yes. Yes it is.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:28:01 am)

Decoy:
And no one to stroke your brow....
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:34:07 am)

Cushca:
This isn't cheering me up.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:34:41 am)

Myk Murphy:
They nearly got yasser today, i see.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:35:57 am)

Myk Murphy:
You can work for me, cushca, if you can carry a beer keg.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:40:23 am)

Cushca:
Do you want to know the only bit of pleasure I've had today? Someone on the Pearl Jam message board, who it is commonly believed is actually someone from the band, posted saying that the Christmas single has been sent out and that there are four songs on it. This has been my only joy today. How fucking lame is that?
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:40:48 am)

Decoy:
You need to spend money, buy yourself something.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:43:48 am)

Heruka:
Hmmm. Think Seamus and I'll hjead to the beach today. Once the temp. hit 58.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:49:23 am)

Heruka:
Buy me something. Picking that shirt for me would be a nice gesture.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:50:14 am)

Heruka:
But for now. Pancakes! Pancakes and eggs, with Tabasco sauce n them. Mmm mmm good!
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:53:50 am)

Cushca:
God. I'm so fucking depressed.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 8:57:22 am)

bela:
REally? Well if it makes you feel any better, this morning I read this article in the Sunday Times Metro section I think, about these kids in therapy that lost a parent or two in the WTC thing. It was so sad, I felt awful.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 9:00:24 am)

bela:
So you never really have it as bad as some. I just blew Marie's mind because I'm here so early.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 9:01:09 am)

Cushca:
Now I feel depressed AND ungrateful. Ah well.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 9:09:13 am)

bela:
Sorry, I was trying to make you feel better, you know, remind you that someone has it worse and all that.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 9:11:53 am)

Cushca:
I know dear. Thank you for trying. On a lighter note, I've just received a letter from the Home Gambling Network in Las Vegas.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 9:13:52 am)

bela:
Las Vegas. I need to take a trip next year. Maybe San Fransico.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 9:18:55 am)

Heruka:
Vegas would suit Cushca nicely, I bet.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 9:20:03 am)

Heruka:
W're leaving spring of 2003. And next month, it's scuba lessons. I'll have a full plate. Ful time work, scuba lessons, and school.

Chewing Wax:
Good morning.

bela:
I was watching a biography of Gene Wilder last night. Hes such a big drama queen. Joel Silverman.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 9:37:09 am)

Chewing Wax:
Don't just stand there, grasping your hands in pain. How about a round of applause for the Frisco Kid.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 9:40:39 am)

bela:
Gene Wilder.
(Tue Dec 4, 2001 - 9:43:22 am)

Chewing Wax:
