Have you ever used emoticons?

I got an e-mail once explaining some emoticons and what they're supposed to represent. Does that count?

can you beleive I was able to stay unspoiled for everything till watching?

Considering the months I stayed unspoiled for it myself, I can totally believe it. Especially if you didn't go online looking for information. But I'm glad you liked it, the whole visiting-old-friends feeling and all. I felt it, too - especially at the "let's go through the ship" part at the beginning. I missed her.

Perkins, nilly.madar (I have no imagination in inventing names, I'm afraid. I've never had a nick online, too. So it's another thing I've never done, and still haven't).

Totally splurge, Cash.

I kind of hate online chat. Or, I hate when I leave it open and start doing other things and then messages pop up unexpectedly. Which is why I never have AIM on.

It sounds high to me, Cashmere, but I do live in the Land of Cheap Waxing, so. And I'd do it no more than a week ahead of time, but my hair grows fast.

For not being New York it sounds on the high end but not outrageously so. I'd go for it.

Oh, and what Jesse said about no more than a week ahead.

I've never done any sort of instant messaging...no wait. There was something I used to do on the VAX back in college. Talk? Phone? But since then, nope. I tend not to answer my phone, too.

I used gmail chat last night with DH . It works well.

I cook dried fruit in my oatmeal, It makes it more tasty - and I rarely need brown sugar or anything like that.

mmm... donuts. I would have to leave the house and that isn't happening today.

cute nephews

Thanks, Nilly. I invited you to chat, but now I have to run to a dentist appointment.

From Slashdot:

"Tentatively scheduled for a spacewalk this summer, a Russian cosmonaut will take his trusty six iron and a special weightless-friendly tee and put a golf ball into orbit from outside the International Space Station. The golf ball has an embedded transmitter so that it can be tracked as it orbits. It is expected to orbit for 3 to 4 years before burning up on re-entry. The golf shot is the result of promotional fees paid to the Russian space agency by a Canadian golf club manufacturer."

Let's hope he doesn't make a bad swing and rip a big divot out of the hull of the International Space Station.

We totally used talk (ntalk? Why is that ringing a bell in my head?) in college! So funny.

okay this made me cry! because...Tim Gunn!

I know!

But maybe he and Andrae can have dinner at the Red Lobster and work things out.

I continue to be unable to resist saying PR lines with the slightest provocation. This week, it's apparently, "What happened to Andrae?!"
