Archives For July 2003

got up early this morning and there was an email from vic, in my heart i knew she was ok, it’s just that mother hen portion of my brain, that would stop with the worst case scenarios.
it’s the other reason, why, on a morning as lovely as this; the rain is drizzling on the roof, it’s dark, it looks like 5am; i’m up. sitting in front of this machine, didn’t hear the phone ring, so i’m checking mail.

i’m looking forward to walking away from it for the ten days that vic is here.

back to hair news, i don’t know why i waited so fucking long to get this done. really, i feel like a fucking hair commercial. my hair is bouncy and smells so good. i got heckled in the office all day yesterday, that i’d been hiding away all these good looks, all the time. right. and you have a bridge in nariva to sell me. whatever.

vic is here in just over a week. we have somewhere to stay, we have a mode of transport. we may have to eat each other for the entire trip if i don’t get off my ass with this corporate identity but it’s not like we weren’t planning to do that anyway. so much for subtlety. it’s been almost 10 months, i think i’m entitled to be lascivious and salacious.

on with the show.

it’s the first post of the day, you know what that means

[oooh, oooh, oooh, pick me, pick me]

that’s right memes time:

3 for Thursday (#38)

PETS
1.  Have you ever had pets?  If so, name 3 (names and/or types) that you’ve had.  (Pet rocks do not count).   cats, i’m a big cat person – had a number of cats over my life time, the latest is a ginger tom named jiffy (my mother and daughter are responsible for the name)

2.  What are 3 things you love or hate about pets?
a. love the independent own way nature of cats
b. when there affectionate, they’re really sweet
c. and their almost human propensity for scorn

3.  What are 3 types of pets that you’d never have?
a. reptiles
b. bird
c. hamsters (they’re really just cute mice)

BONUS: If your pet had to have expensive surgery or lifetime shots (like insulin for a diabetic animal) would you put your pet through it, or make the hard decision to put them to sleep? no, it wouldn’t, it’s a matter of practicality and survival really. it sounds harsh, but hurting my pet to keep it alive seems… well cruel.

The Thursday Threesome
::From the Summer Picnic Basket!::

Onesome- Honey: Hey there! Not that you personally need any sweetening, but just in case: what goes in your summer drinks to sweeten things up? Honey? Sugar? Artificial sweetener? …or are your taking things straight up this time ‘round?  straight up

Twosome- Mustard: Okay, what condiment has to come to the table for that burger or hotdog? Ketchup? Mustard? Salt? Pepper? Just what is it you ‘relish’? a delicate combo of ketchup and pepper (hot sauce for the uninitiated)

Threesome- Sauce: …and along with that, which sauce do you simply have to have around? BBQ? A-1? That special sauce you learned to make when you worked fast food at the mall? How about it? You brought those napkins along for a reason! a well made bbq is always good, otherwise i’m good. more savoury than sweet.

sorry got side tracked with this ulitmate 80s quiz.

i’ll try to post the results during the day.

pretty soon i’m going to have qwerty tattoo’d on my forehead and as much as i like ink, i’m not quite sure how that’s going to fit in with the rest of my ink.

it’s almost 11:30, i’ve gotten some work done but not as much i’d like, i can smell the rain and i really should get to bed but i’d at least like to know vic is alright. again with the worrying, but this is so unlike her. no call, no email. just the sort of thing to send my active imagination into overdrive. sigh. i just found a friend resident stateside to give her a call.

in the mean time i took this quiz [thanks purpleturtle]

genital piercing

You Are A Genital Piercing

The ultimate wild child, you make Madonna look tame.

Chances are, you’ve tried anal and liked it.

Your place is like booty call central, a total revolving door for hotties.

No one would ever mistake you for a virgin!

What Piercing Are *You*?

oooh, don’t you just love it when a bunch of people show up online. so much for going to bed.

i’ve been getting a lot of compliments about my hair, but the stupidest comment is…

wait for it…

“is that your hair?”

no, i picked it up in a flea market. what prompts people to ask stupid shit like that.

nevermind.

in other news this has been a throughly successful day, paid the taxes on vic’s ticket. found a beautiful apartment in lower fort george this afternoon. loved it so much, i paid the deposit. you can see most of port of spain and the gulf from the patio. the bed is huge, the bedroom has a/c and the kitchen is tiny and intimate. if i could afford it, i’d live there.

now all that’s left is the paying for it.

tonight i had also had dinner and drinks with sarah, she’s putting on an exhibition with 4 other artist and i promised to do the programme. i got all the info today, if i can get this corporate identity second draft out of the way, i can commit all my energies to it. i don’t understand why i’m finding it so difficult get going on the corporate identity. this is a paying gig and fairly decently too. why can i get a jumpstart? the webserver is up and running, perfectly, though. so that’s one less worry.

it’s started raining out and between that, the two beers, the pizza and the longing for vic, i just want to crawl into my bed, but i promised myself faithfully, i’d get at least two more items done before i go to bed tonight, so no rest for the wicked.

i’m going to get to work while i wait for vic and toss my hair some more.

it’s not the same. [bonus points if you can identify where that’s from – trini js excluded]

another restful night, i’m off to work early this morning to see what happened yesterday and try to finish up some work that was due this morning. i think my internet access is going to be limited today, my boss was muttering something about wanting the use of her line back before she left, we’ll see how that progresses.

i still haven’t decided on my js/ijournal dilemma, it should sort itself out by the end of the week, unless i continue to deliberately make mistakes so i have to edit after the post goes up. we shall see. the countdown continues, i’m going to see the apts this evening and i have to help my friend sarah with the catalogue for her art show. i love doing stuff like this, it makes me feel like i’m doing something worthwhile.

ok, here are you wednesday entertainments:

wednesday what-ifs

1. What if you had to write a magazine column on How To Lose A Guy/Girl In 10 Days — what would you write?  why not be honest about it?

2. What if you were offered the choice to risk your life by boarding a pirate ship in hopes of finding and obtaining part of the treasure? nope, money isn’t everything.

3. What if you could pass a congretional bill of your choice? can you legislate away intolerance?

4. What if you discovered you were really a machine? then machines can truly love

5. What if you were bequeathed with all of God’s powers? oooh, is  intolerance freewill? i’d remove intolerance and the mob mentality and see how we progress from there.

Wednesday Whatevers

1. What age would you like to be? Why? i’m pretty happy now. 31 is a good age to be.

2. What is something in the future you’re not looking forward to? vic leaving again

3. Does ESP exist? i think so

and on that note, i foresee myself getting out of here. if i can i’ll post during the day, otherwise, i’ll be back later today with a roundup of point of interest.

ciao

we are the world

July 8, 2003 — Leave a comment

back to subject lines of whimsy – i think you can tell my mood by the subject lines. i’m torn between giving up ijournal and posting directly on js -it would save me the exercise i’m about to embark on; catergorising all my entries.

but there was a real point to this post, two actually.

one, came across this rather interesting link via metafilter:

The internet is shit.

It is vitally important that we all realize this and move on. People (eg Bloggers) go on and on about how wonderful it is. About how much information is out there in cyberspace. About the way that everything is within reach in just a few clicks of their mice.

more

and secondly and more importantly, this is for vic.

good night all.

the housing situation seems to be coming together, there are quite a few short term apartments for rent and i’m going to see two of them tomorrow. thanks karen. short term apartment rental is considerable less than a hotel room, i’m trying to figure out the catch is.

in other positive news, i also found out what the deal was on the web server, so that should sort itself out sometime in the next twelve hours. so all told, i have to say today was productive. tomorrow i need to follow up on the car and start bringing the cash together for everything. money, what fun.

i’m going to follow my daily links and return with a wrap up. be back later.

my hair is toit, toit like a tiger. after a marathon session my hair is now neat and bouncy. like a dreadlock hair commercial. i promise never to wait seven plus months to neaten my hair. had to promise the woman that she’d see me in two months as well.

other than a bit of neck and back strain, my day has been thourougly uneventful. went, fixed my hair and came back home. got wet in the rain on the way home which was not a horrendous thing, i like the rain, it was refreshing. but it’s the odd looks from people standing at the side of the road that i don’t understand. we live in a country, with two seasons. a dry (well not so wet season) and a (wet) rainy season. we’re in the rainy season. so theoretically, rain could start falling today and rain for the next six months. people here don’t behave like that… the first sign of rain, traffic slows to a crawl, people crowd the pavement, sheltering from rain as if it’s something new and unexpected. i never understood that. compounding this is the taxi drivers that shoot you dirty looks, as if to say, couldn’t you dry off before you get into my vehicle. what the fuck? it’s raining. that’s why i’m getting in your car, so i can get home and out of the rain. morons.

i’m going to catch up on my mail. see what’s been going on all day. i’ll be back.

a few beers, some appetisers and good conversation and i feel halfway human again. thanks karen. [mwah].

word for the day:

Som·me·lier

A restaurant employee who orders and maintains the wines sold in the restaurant and usually has extensive knowledge about wine and food pairings.

i need to get this off my chest, i have to have some sort of outlet –

i want to lick you everywhere, i want to run my teeth along your collar bone, lick, suck, nibble on your nipples, trace your stretch marks with my tongue, slowly spread your legs and gently blow on your clit, inhaling the scent of you, before burying my tongue in your cunt. i want your wetness smeared all over my face, your hands in my hair, the muffled cries as your thighs press against my ears. strumming my tongue against your clit as i slide finger after finger until your cunt is filled with my hand.

i want you vic. i want you in every possible way.

good night.

i’m trying to focus on some work that’s been hanging about for a while. it’s getting done but not as quickly as i’d like so i’m going for a drink with karen. i figure i can go have a drink talk with her for a while and trying and work out what’s going on with me and help cheer her up as well. and i can come back home and work late. i’m going into work late in the morning anyway. i’m going to get my hair neatened, make another attempt at paying the tax on vic’s ticket.

it’s still monday so here are a couple of items that i got from the memes list [it’s linked in ‘the great beyond’ so this is the last time]:

monday memories

Who was your first “best friend”? Do you still keep in touch with them now?
kevin, no.

monday mosh
Mondays being Mondays, the premise of the Monday Mosh is designed to be simple, energizing, and quick.   Basically, each Monday, participants turn on whatever music they’re in the mood for and dance around their living room/office/bedroom/sauna/whatever. Participants then answer three short questions about their experience. Then they post the answers to the questions in their own blog, and then leave a comment here, in THIS blog, so others can go see what they moshed to this week (this is the part that’s like all those other memes).  

What song did you mosh to?
call of ktulu – metallica s&m

What did you step on or bump into?  (bonus points for breakage)
de nada

Why did you stop?
neck strain. that’s a lot of hair to be throwing around.

whoops, karen is here. more later. bye.

My Bloginality is INTJ!!!

the incredible bulk

A six-year-old girl got more than she bargained for when she won an Incredible Hulk doll on Brighton’s Palace Pier.

more [edit, like some backward news organisations in the caribbean [sorry franka], this paper doesn`t archive, but i posted the story in it`s enterity in the junk drawer GO THERE NOW]

i’m in a very weird mood and there is no cause for it. vic is here in a few days, but i’m uneasy and restless. the trip to pay the tax on her ticket was a fiasco, sat in bwee for an indeterminable length, then my bankcard wouldn’t work and the woman was downright rude. i’m going back tomorrow, before i go to get my hair done. i need to work out whatever this is and now. i have a lot of work to do tonight and i need to focus.

blogging has been a catharsis for me, but it’s hard to vent when you’re not sure what the problem is.
