My tapes say:
I should be nicer, since I'm not really attractive or a genius.
I'm gonna die an old dried up wreck at this keyboard.
If I don't have to find a crate first
Why do I have these interests that underline that I'm an unlovable freak of nature? Why can't I care about normal things?
I'm smart because I'm not pretty.
Thanks everyone. Including you, Trudes. A good grope can often cure what ails you.
I suppose this melancholia is not helped by the weather in DC today (cold, dark and rainy), and listening to David Gray on the iPod. And it's certainly not going to be helped by the FridayAfternoonBeforeAThreeDayWeekend drive on I-270.
I'm bored, and want to go home now.
Can I?
Sure, I am. Then again, it's 7:05 pm here.
Just to show that it's not always about me...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAIL!!!!!!
Another tape that I have is the Why Is Your Gut So Huge?
FWIW, I like bellies.
Enter your classic overachiever, underperfomer coding, and you end up with me.
We identified this as the Buffista demo years ago.
ION...Scutaro! A's win! A's sweep! Sorry, Knut. Go A's!
Lee, yes
YAY.
Once I get there, can I have a drink or two, watch TV and play on the internet all night instead of cleaning?
Lee, yes especially the no cleaning part!
(Man, do not tell my kids I said "yes" to all that (although their drinks would be Sierra Mist) they have gotten "no" to everything they called and asked me for this afternoon. Note to children: do not call mom at work and ask for cookies.)
Also, Happy Bday Sail
And I'm not even gonna think about the tapes in my head. They make me lay awake at nights as it is.
Oh no the A's won? Sorry guys, I love them, really proud but I have had to coordinate getting MLB tickets out to customers for the entire season and I am sick to death of baseball. I was hoping to be done with tickets until next season...
Tonight's agenda:
- Have dinner
- Make and chill Boston Cream Pie martinis
- Change into jammies and gather kitties
- Watch South of Nowhere and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (!!) while consuming martinis
Sounds pretty good to me!
I'm about to head to bed, but first...
I have a confession to make. I set up this "tapes" discussion this afternoon for use and analysis for a project I need to do for school. I will be having this same conversation in three different discourses (here, by e-mail with a friend, and in person with a different friend) to analyze how the different discourses allow the conversation to progress and the meaning made during the conversations.
Please let me know if you have a problem with me using your posts for this analysis. This is just for a class at school. This is not for anything further than a project that will be seen by one of my professors, and maybe some classmates.
I hope that no one has a problem with me setting this up in the way that I did. I think it was a really interesting discussion, and I enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to analyzing it further. But, I hope it doesn’t break any trust that I have built with the board.
