Bagels

I don't get it, why do people eat them?
They are dry though to bite in, can't get any decent fillings in because of their rediculous shape it and tasteless.
Was waiting in the departure lounge in Heathrow yesterday and saw all yanks running to a bagel shop which claimed ot be the best one on this side of the Atlantic, what is the Yankostani obsession with this strange form of food?

i'm in the doghouse

fuck!
i quit smoking 4 years ago and was quite proud of myself. recently i sneaked a few during a stressful week. yesterday i bought a pack.

the worst part: i was hiding it from mrkiki.lying.
the even worst part: one of his friends was diagnosed with lung cancer this week.

the incredibly dumb part: he found out about my smoking by me saying, " oh today i met this really cute border collie. i was standing outside and it was trying to jump up to get my cigaret........"

shiiiiiiiiiiit. he stared at me. did you really just let that slip?

yes.

crap. i'm in shit.

addiction is sneaky and stupid.

"Alice's Restaurant" By Arlo Gutherie On Thanksgiving

It's a Tradition --- You've got to go to YouTube (or wherever) and listen to this Thanksgiving Classic --- from the 1960's --- a parody on the insanity of induction into the military of potential recruits to fight in the Vietnam War.

"You can get everything you want at Alice's Restaurant......... (excepting Alice)".

Have you had your Thanksgiving, 2009 Dose yet?

Insomnia Part D'oh

And I didn't even have ANY coffee today. None.
Someone call me...entertain me...bore me..anything.

Feck.

While I can't sleep I might as well research Colombia for my next trip. Getting bored with Peru. It's good to have options but sometimes too many options are bad. Who's been to Colombia lately? And I am talking about the real deal, not San Andreas/resort. And are Colombian emeralds all they are cracked up to be? I like to collect little pieces of semi-precious/precious stones from places I visit.

I have all sort of goodies from Peru, so I may be bored shopping there, so I've met some lovely people who I consider 'friends'.

I have a Lavender jade ring from Guatemala that I love. You don't see lavender jade a lot around my parts. Have not heard much on Guat. I'll never set foot in Nicaragua again. Or El salvador.

Hypothetical situation

So there's a woman in her mid-late 20s, reasonably attractive but a bit of a chubber, from a wealthy background, maybe slightly higher up the career ladder than you would expect for her age. She lives in a different country to her family, but still with the nanny who has looked after her from birth. She's very naive about drugs and is possibly a virgin. Let's call her Virginia.

There's a fat ugly middle-aged man who is happily married but, perhaps unsurprisingly, isn't getting it as much as he would like.

Virginia keeps inviting the man to events that he feels some professional obligation to attend but which always involve lots of alcohol. One time he brings his wife. The next time he sees Virginia she is visibly upset. And then invites him to further alcohol related events, saying that she really enjoys his company. She has also hinted that she would like him to come to her ho... more »

A&E, TLC, History Channel...

Who here remembers when these channels first came on the air and actually had intelligent, interesting programming?

How much further is our society going to "dumb down"?

I mean "Philadelphia Meter Maids?"

Church on Christmas Day

We used to go to church on Christmas Day until I was about 16, when my parents gave up on us (6 years at a Roman Catholic convent boarding school will do that to a girl). I haven't done it since, but kind of miss the carols and that.

Who here actually goes to a Christmas Morning or Evening mass/service?
