Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Long Beach is the "International City"? Huh. For all of my years that I was in California, all I know for certain is that Long Beach has the Grand Prix and I love it for that reason alone. With the dolphin statuary.
I live a few blocks from one of the turns for the GP. for a week every spring, I get woken to the sound of giant sized gnats buzzing around. I haven't yet seen any of the races. O well.
I believe they adopted the motto "International City" when they acquired the Queen Mary. Both attempts at attracting tourism dollars. Rumor has it they are dropping the motto, but they need a better one to replace it.
Maybe if they cleaned the harbor and beaches, they'd get a bunch more tourism. eh, what do I know, I'm just a NYer living in CA.
Dude. Vortex introduced me to the buffistas back on Table Talk! Before it was the Buffistas! Late in 1999, when I was temping...

Lucky you. Can you smell the fuel and burning tires? That, some coffee and a cinnamon roll with more sugar than is strictly healthy and you've got the best morning ever.

If the wind blows right, a lil, but not really, thankfully. Ugg. I'm with you on the Cinnamon roll. Mmmmmmm. I'll pass on the tires, fuel and coffee. Pass the OJ please :)
As for the giant gnats. Ya. Um. Sound guy. I like it quiet. It's not so bad when I work that weekend. But if I have it off. I'd much rather sleep in.
What is entertaining is the race fans who feel the need to skimp on the $12 parking and clog our over-parked streets. They FLOCK to the empty side of the street... Miracle! A whole side of the street empty! As they walk away, if they look nice, I gently point out, "Street Sweeping" and notify them it's a $35 ticket. It'd be cheaper to park closer and pay the toll than the parking ticket.
How'd the new doctor turn out, Kristin? It's always nervous-making for me to meet a new doctor and hope it's going to be someone I can click with.
The good news is that I really like her! The bad news is that she told me all the same "get healthy, exercise, no sugar, blah blah blah" stuff that doctors seem to think is important.
Ah well.
Also? Gained 5 MORE lbs. Dammit.
t tacklehugs everyone in thread, just cuz
Omnis, Vortex is coming to visit ND and me this Wednesday! We are lucky lucky people.
Speaking of that, K, were there ever plans really made? Me no 'member.
A, no plans made other than getting together. We'll be in massive clean/decorate mode still, so we were thinking about maybe plying Vortex with wine and conversation as we worked. Want to join?

It's a *good* sound though... Craziness.

That is insanity. The tickets aren't exactly cheap, pay for the damn parking already.
Or, you know, follow big-name drivers and park next to them like I did in Portland this year. In my defense? People kept waving me through. I would have happily handed them money and parked in the other places but if you wave me through before I've had my coffee? Ima follow the car in front of me across the track into the infield. Then park and look for some freaking coffee.
