It takes all kinds to make a world. Don't know if that's good or bad.

Oh I know...they changed the licencing laws and system a few years back and I spent six months working for lawyers preparing the resulting necessary applications... because the law was badly framed everywhere went for worst case scenario to cover their backs and so we got loads of letters from folk thinking that stately homes were going to become nightclubs when they just wanted to be able to serve wine in the interval of chamber music concerts.... which attract so many teenage hooligans...everyone knows that early music fans are lethal on that heady combination of harpsichord partitas and cheap chardonnay...

(prompted by the Rock Bands and Tolkien thread)
Having grown up on punk and new wave, I'd like to assign 1970s 'progressive' rock - a guilty pleasure for me if ever there was one. Those endless songs, those overdressed orchestral arrangements, those self-indulgent solos - impossible to take serious, but still... about once a year or so, a fix of Yes or ELP is just the thing I need.

EDIT: Is it just déja vu, or have I posted something like this before? Guess I'm getting old... (The pleasures of Alzheimer: you get to meet new people every day!)

The unholy little beep that debit cards make when you swipe them to pay for things.

Because granted, today was the most epic shopping trip of recent memory... and it's not even done yet... But I really need to be a little more fiscally responsible and not dissolve into paroxysms of glee when I see grommet bejeweled shirts and little bottles of crackling agent (meant to age acrylic paint) and twelve packs of colored brush pens for $2.99.

Finding comparatively few posts after coming to the 'downs after a week's absence. It's nice to be able to catch up quickly, but it really makes you wonder if it's all dead here (ignore the pun ) nowadays.

Looking up quotes from my Tolkien books to answer in the Palantir of Fortune thread, instead of writing a very boring paper on Marxist jurisprudence.

I assign cheesy potato soup. Soooo good...sooooo bad for my lactose intolerance.

and my unholy addiction to the purchase thereof.

Ah, yes. That addiction of yours has been noticed here before.

I'd like to assign stormy weather. Good for sleeping, but I'm always slightly nervous about the power going out and the crawlspace sump pump thus not working. Water in one's basement is rather a pain.

Nice shoes but theyr kinda high


I assign cold weather!! Yay!! this heat stinks!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Bwhaha! There's a reason I said it's unholy. Don't let me near shoe stores!

[morwen edhelwen]

sorry. that should be a -.

[kementari]

I'd like to dump hair-straightners, hair dryers and all that other cosmetic junk that clogs up my room! I find all items useless to me in my present job.

So I'm having a clean out.

hey everyone, got a status update! Pile O'Bones!
