It's just Thursday, MKF! 1/29/04

[bytrsuite]

I think the server is unhappy and is eating some posts. Stupid thing. So much for the "server upgrade" over the weekend. Apparently the kinks are still being worked out.

As always, if it's something important, save a copy to your computer or email it to yourself before you send it into the ether here. Like Holley said here.

Gorgeous day today. About 65 and sunny.

Happy Thursday!

Naughty server!

Kathy, didn't you just have snow like three days ago?

Been warm here. Gonna be 80 tomorrow. Flowers blooming. One trillion tons of pollen floating through the air. There is a big ol' tree where I park my car and it drips sap in the spring, so all the pollen sticks to the little sap blobs and makes this sticky yellow mess all over the car.

Oh well. That's Thursday for you.

I do hope the Kittens of the world are having a good week. Let's see how long this post lasts.

[bytrsuite]

No, it's been at least two weeks. Maybe three. Lovely weather. You're just jealous.

[summer fairy]

Happy Thursday all! This is my first post in this thread! Hey it's my first time!

[gorn]

Happy Thursday, summer fairy!! Ah, there's nothing like the first time ...

Not only is today Thursday, but it's PAYDAY as well! Those really are the very bestest best Thursdays.

Is it just me, or has this week just flown past? Of course, since discovering this thread, almost every week flies by now. If I can just grit my teeth and suffer through the hell of Monday, on Tuesday I can say to myself (and the rest of you), "the day after tomorrow, I'll be posting in the It's Just Thursday, MKF! Thread!!" And the rest of the week is a breeze after that.

So here we are, the day before another glorious Friday! I have absolutely nothing planned this weekend - I'll probably end up replacing the garage lights and mowing the lawn. But that's OK! I'll sleep in every day, probably stay up one night trying to finish off that Buffy Xbox game (no, there's not a new one, I'm just waaaay behind the times), and - best of all - I think my wife is going to cook curry rice! This is my wife's best dish - if the Queen of England, the Pope, the Dalai Lama, and Alyson & Amber dressed up like W/T were all coming to my house on the same night, THIS is what I'd ask my wife to cook! It's great!

I love that dancing pink elephant so much, I think I'm only going to post it in this thread from now on ... except, maybe, for very special circumstances.

I hope all Kittens out there are having a good day and can see Friday peeking out from around the corner.

[Willowtree252]

oh yes I am in the cool girls now right? Happy Thursday everyone. Hay gorn you are right my day is better now!

[summer fairy]

Well, why not make a Monday thread, a tuesday thread, a wendsday thread and a friday thread??????????

[gorn]

Let's not get silly, now.

Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday - in my opinion - do not warrant their own thread. The only good things I can say about Tuesday & Wednesday is that it's almost Thursday, and there's nothing good I can say about Monday. Friday, like Saturday or Sunday, is so good it doesn't really need it's own thread.

No, I think Thursday is just fine. Something unique about a Thursday Thread, you know? It's like having a party on Christmas Eve ... well, ok, maybe not quite THAT good, but you know what I mean.

Also, to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I have the enthusiasm to spread around too many different day threads. "It's Just Thursday, MKF!" gets all my love.

[summer fairy]

Chill, I was taking the piss!

[maudmac]

I was ruminating on the exuberance some Kittens have for this thread, so I went back to read its humble beginnings and I was kind of shocked to realize this thread is over 3 years old - It's just Thursday, MKF! 1/29/04 It was made back when we were still at ezboard. Wow.

Anyway, then I was thinking about how what Thursdays mean to me has changed in that time. Back then, Thursdays were my Saturdays, so I was pretty happy about them. Now, I usually have class all day and then a trillion things to do over the weekend, so I no longer feel any particular joy about the day of Thursday itself, but this thread is a joy and makes Thursdays worthwhile.

Sidenote: It took me a while some years ago to get accustomed to the phrase "taking the piss" which an Irish friend used constantly. It's just not something we say in the States. I had a hard time getting my mind around it, because every time she said it, my mind went to "taking a piss" which means "to pee" of course. Fun with cultures!

Happy Thursday, Kittens!

Oh! Random link: Here's an oddly addictive little internet game - Dotville - if you are bored.

[summer fairy]

ah well I am not taking a piss lol!!

[seurat]

I enjoy reading this thread too, it reminds me a bit of the old Lurker's Island thread. A happy light-hearted thread, we can always use more of them. But, yeah, don't give those other lesser days a thread, they can only pretend to be Thursday. They should be so lucky.

Although it is actually the day before payday for me, so Friday is looking pretty good to me at the moment as well. But today the weather is lovely, the sun feels stronger and brighter like a real springtime sun, and everyone is out on the streets and in a good mood. There's a new art show in town, by Emily Carr, that I've been meaning to go see. Maybe tonight is the night to look at all those paintings of forests, totems and lakes.

[gorn]

Good morning! Ain't Thursday great?

Anyone else out there have Friday off this week?

[Saena]

Is it really Thursday already? I swear, Sunday feels like it was yesterday. I don't know where my entire week went off to. Maybe it's anticipation- I am going home tomorrow, after all.

I do have classes tomorrow but I'm leaving right after them. So exciting!!

Hello my friend am I late??? No I made it in time for the Thursday Dance Today is great it is cool here and I have a date tonight with a very pretty woman and we are going dancing can it get any better oh yes almost forgot a update from Diane can,t forget The Rosenburg Files HAPPY THURSDAY EVERYONE

[gorn]

Yeah, it's pretty cool here, too. Went from about 80 degrees to 40 degrees in the space of about two days. Lots of folks here at work are complaining, but I'm grateful for the last hurrah of winter! I love the cold!

I love that dancing pink elephant, too!

[kisstheviolets]

happy thursday, gorn! to the rest of you thursday-lovers as well.

i am doing a little pink elephant dance myself (though i don't think i could ever bring myself to use such an emoticon) because thursdays are my fridays as well AND i'm getting off work three hours early today rather unexpectedly.

normally i'd be a little annoyed about that because it's a huge chunk of money to lose, BUT i have had a headache all day so i'm just going to view it as a fortuitous development.

so, yay! it's thursday!

[gorn]

Go ahead, kisstheviolets, use the dancing pink elephant emoticon. It's fun!



See?

Particularly on a great day like Thursday, you shouldn't feel ashamed about it. We're all friends here!

[Boschi]

Yes, ktv, even cranky-pusses who are above all things 1) pink 2) cute and 3) emoticutey, can use the prancing pink pachyderm.

See.

Even Boschi.

Yeah.

Thursday. Rah.

I think we need a head-banging emoticon....

[kisstheviolets]

Yes, ktv, even cranky-pusses who are above all things 1) pink 2) cute and 3) emoticutey, can use the prancing pink pachyderm.

ooh... only 'cause we're friends bosch.

while i don't know what on earth led you to believe i am a "cranky-puss" (ha!), i can confirm that i am indeed not a fan of things pink and/or cute. well, with very limited exceptions...

thursday's still going strong in my neck of the woods but with "grey's anatomy" being a re-run and nothing else on the tube the rest of thursday night is not shaping up to be too stellar.

but wait! i don't have to get up for work in the morning. i think the blissful knowledge of that fact will help me cruise on through to midnight!

[gorn]

Woo hoo!! It's Thursday!

I've got a review with my boss in about an hour which I am - at present - still unprepared for, but I'll be back with the dancing pink elephants as soon as it's over.

I love this thread! (oops, that elephant slipped out)

[Willowtree252]

yay I am here good Thrusday everyone!!!!! gorn I hope you Boss love,s Thrusday like we do and gives you a big raise then you will really love Thrusday.

[gorn]

It's turning out to be a pretty good Thursday. Review with my boss went well. Thought it would, but I always leave prep like that to the last minute. Feels good to be done.

Also, had a good talk with my Mom over the phone. I don't usually talk about stuff like this - even though I know I'd probably get a lot of support from the Kittens - but she left here after the holidays all pissed about something. Turns out to have been nothing, so I'm relieved. Her and I have butted heads all my life, but I like to have peace in my family. She's also the type to carry a silent (but everyone knows about it) grudge for months at a time, and I hate having to deal with that on top of everything else in my life. So I've dodged a bullet ... at least until the next family get together.

This in particularly was bothering me all week. But it's Thursday, goddamnit, and I thought if there was a good time to stare this problem in the face it was today. Glad I did it now.

I love Thursdays!

[bytrsuite]

Thursday is actually the day I have the most work to do. I still look forward to it (most of the time, heh). It's gradually been getting warmer, with a few setbacks, of course.

This week I'm happy it's Thursday because it's so close to the weekend and I have a ton of things going on this weekend. So, yay for Thursday!

[Willowtree252]

Hay I dident remember today was Thursday man I am sliping. Happy Thrusday everyone and hope you enjoy I am giveing you bananas today gorn

[gorn]

Bananas? For me? Thanks!!

What a wonderful Thursday! But, then again, they're all pretty good now that I've got this thread. I was too distracted yesterday by the Neverland update to talk about how much I was looking forward to posting here today (that's a weird sentence ...), but I've been looking forward to it ever since Monday when dlline stomped all over me with her black steel-toe work boots (or maybe that was just in my imagination - Mondays are pretty bad for me).

But what a great Thursday it's turning out to be! Hope all you Kittens out there are having just as good a time (of course, if you're here on the "It's Just Thursday, MKF!" thread, you're already off to a good start!).

And just for Dianneswillowtree ... dancing pink elephants!

[summer fairy]

Happy Thursday kittens!

[Boschi]

Yo.

It's Thursday.

I plan on spending the remainder of the day applying for jobs. Which means I must decide what sort of jobs I might want. Hmmm... nothing like the taste of ambition.

[Saena]

It's Thursday. My allergies kicked in yesterday. However, I can't take a Claritin because I have dance show starting tonight, and I absolutely cannot risk being drowsy, loopy, or groggy during a big important performance. (For the record, even non-drowsy medication has some sort of effect on me. Claritin usually makes me kind of light and happy- a little loopy.)

My head feels funny. Kind of stuffy.

But it's still going to be a good Thursday, because hey- opening night tonight!!!!!

Saena

[kisstheviolets]

i was doing the dance of thursday joy, but then i somehow managed to "volunteer" to come into work tomorrow. yuck.
