Mini GB. I don't have the flu, just a cold. I'll be alright I guess. What is your maternity leave like?
(Fri Jan 11, 2002 - 12:26:29 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Bloody nice actually. 18 weeks at full pay and then about a year off. During that year I get the you know, government maternity handout, whatever that is. £30 a week or something. Not entirely sure. Maybe I should look into that, eh......
(Fri Jan 11, 2002 - 12:28:33 pm)
bela:
Yeah, that is pretty good. Here I think 2 months is generous.
(Fri Jan 11, 2002 - 12:29:58 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
I tell you what is generous: they're letting me go home now. Only an hour late. Whoop! Bye, Americans. Have a fun weekend.

What did you buy, young lady?

bela:
Young lady? I'm older than you. But anyway, I bought this little black stretchy shirt with this frilling things across the chest and this necklace thing that has a big square of fake diamonds. Pretty cool. I also finally got a cell phone.

Listening to it now. He seems to channel Jon Bon Jovi at times.

bela:
Hey Queenie - Have you ever heard of this Mark Ribot? My friend works at Elektra records and she sent me this email with a list of albums and said I could pick three. It was all crap - mostly rap I think so I got that new Bjork album which I would never listen to, something else and this Marc Ribot album. He seems big here, he plays the Knitting Factory and Tonic. Has Ken ever heard of him? I think he may be some kind of avante guard guitarist or something...
(Fri Jan 11, 2002 - 2:47:38 pm)
Queenie:
Never heard of 'em.
(Fri Jan 11, 2002 - 2:51:41 pm)

A cell phone, diamonds, and a tight t-shirt? Delicious. Giggle.

That's quite a resume.
(Fri Jan 11, 2002 - 2:59:19 pm)

I want a hello kitty cell phone.
(Fri Jan 11, 2002 - 3:03:39 pm)
Queenie:
My friend Elicia had a going away party last week. She's off to Florida for a few months. I bought her a pack of Hello Kitty playing cards as a going-away present.
(Fri Jan 11, 2002 - 3:07:43 pm)
bela:
Big spender.
(Fri Jan 11, 2002 - 3:13:11 pm)
Queenie:
I confess, it was the cheapest Hello Kitty item I could find at Finnegan's. But I felt guilty enough about spending the $2.99 on the cards. I just really wanted to get her something, she's such a peach.
(Fri Jan 11, 2002 - 3:14:42 pm)
Queenie:
They had Hello Kitty cell phone holder thingies there.
(Fri Jan 11, 2002 - 3:14:57 pm)
bela:
Yeah, maybe I'll get one and get a red phone face. You may be broker than me and I'm off the gravy train for awhile because Tom's business is in a bad patch but I just spend and worry about it later.
(Fri Jan 11, 2002 - 3:19:54 pm)
Queenie:
You bought a shirt today. You are by far less broke than me. I can't remember the last time I bought even a goodwill shirt.
(Fri Jan 11, 2002 - 3:21:23 pm)
bela:
Get the fuck out of here! Listen, you have to shop and buy yourself things some times. Tell Ken to fork some cash over. God, I hope you're not having sex with him.
