one more week, one more week, one more week

On July 11, 2003, in memes, by keifel

cmon sing it with me. vic is going to be here in one more week. woo hoo.

around this time next friday she’ll be leaving on her plane leaving nashville for miami. i’m just so excited, i can barely contain myself. i was up at the crack of dawn [who is this dawn and why is crack available to everyone? is it addictive?]

i’m babbling, which in some people is attractive, but i’m not sure if i like it in myself, i’m skimming throught my itunes library pondering what to listen to while i check the usual spots, pondering about my cash flow, cheques i have to pick up. how much cash i’ll need by next week friday.

it’s friday, so here is your friday five:

1. Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it? i do. a guy called kevin

2. Are you still in touch with this person?no, haven’t seen him for about 2 years but we’d drifted apart long before that

3. Do you have a current close friend? yes, i do

4. How did you become friends with this person? almost half a lifetime ago i wanted her to be my girlfriend, i was successful, we got married, that didn’t work out, but somewhere along the line we regained our friendship

5. Is there a friend from your past that you wish you were still in contact with? Why?  can’t think of anyone off hand. i tend to do my best to keep up with my friends, so if i’m not in contact, well…

that’s done. still pretty hyper. i don’t have to go directly to work this morning. i have to go to a supplier to check on a job and approve it, hoping to drag that out as long as possible, i don’t feel like being cooped up today, i want to be out and about. really i just want to be with vic, i miss her so much. it’s started raining, not a drizzle but a downpour, i hope this continues next week, all of next week. mmmmmmmmmm.

is there anything more sensuous, than laying in bed with your love, the rain drumming on your roof? god, i want vic here, NOW!

i’ve been looking for these lyrics for a few days now. and  in the same place i found this:

We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I’ve left to do
Discover me
Discovering you

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue

And if you want love
We’ll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break ‘em
This is bound to be a while

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I’ll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland

Something ‘bout the way your hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I’ll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

you want love?
We’ll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break ‘em
This is bound to be a while

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I’ll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland

Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you’re mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I’ll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland

how true this is, i love you victoria.

wow, this has turned into a marathon post. time for me to go get ready. i’ll be back later.

 

the entertainments continue

food & sex:

“…anybody who doesn’t absolutely, totally and unconditionally enjoy food, cannot possibly enjoy sex.”  — Shobhaa De, Upper Crust Magazine, India (something vic and i agree on completely)

the synchronicity archives (like dark side of the moon and wizard of oz)

for defiant mike’s birthday – the best comic book cover site

yoda travels to ireland [someone with too much time on their hands, try to catch it now, before lucas gets wind of it.]

i had more, but i want to talk to my wife and i’m tired, so i bid you adieu.

btw after some fierce battling, i won my game of monopoly. [it’s not so easy to beat an intelligent, shrewd, determined 10 year old, especially my mercenary daughter. i love her so much.]

and now a wrap up of the day’s entertainments

On July 10, 2003, in links, by keifel

well not just today’s. i’ve been rather lax for the last couple of days so bear with me, i’ve got a lot of links to post.

please stand by…

let’s start here –

1. nerve has started posting a collection of sexual related links from the world wide weird, it’s called the scanner and the first offerings are a doozy.

2. more excerpts from em & lo’s new book – this time they wax poetic on the g-spot and female ejaculation

3. Sextablos: Works on Metal, “a book featuring 60 artists from New York, Seattle and Chicago exploring the issues and taboos of sex, created using the format of Mexican Retablo painting.

4. a couple of interesting blogs:

the rules of blogging as told by the reverse cowgirl

dirty whore’s first time

and the bazima chronicles which i discovered sometime ago and then promptly never went back to, why i can’t imagine.

5. one of the most entertaining sports headlines ever written (how ever you chose to read it)

whew. time for a pause, i haven’t even gotten to metafilter yet. i’ll be back later, need all my wits to try and outmanoeuvre my daughter in monopoly.

 

it was bound to happen

On July 10, 2003, in memes, by keifel

get here for the 7:30 meeting and no one is here.

it’s raining. oh dear, no one is going to make it to work on time. sigh. i love the rain, i hope this keeps up for vic visit, it’s going to be lovely to wake up next to her in the pouring rain. hot and wet. what more can you ask for.

so i should be doing something productive while i wait for everyone to show up but screw that, i got this animaniacs quiz from satchmo:





Which Animaniacs Character are You?


You have megalomaniacal impulses regularly.  That’s not necessarily a bad thing, however, as you have the cranial capacity of a small planet.  Trying to take over the world is hard work, though, and you’re not above exploiting your lessers.  Even now, you have a plan that’s being enacted which will pitch the world’s economy into turmoil, leaving the floodgates of trade exposed for the sole owner of stock in the Pets.com © company!  You are en route to taking over the world!

Oh, and you ARE pondering what I’m pondering.

and now to work. adieu.

 

knight rider-esque

On July 10, 2003, in memes, by keifel

i should be ashamed, i should also be on my way to work.

but here’s my result:

 

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.

you are getting very sleepy

On July 9, 2003, in memes, personal, by keifel

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*?

More Great Quizzes from Quiz Diva

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

On July 8, 2003, in links, by keifel

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.
