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

[kisstheviolets]

oh. dear. god.

bosch. seriously. what a fucking day. i'm so sorry for your trauma, but i've got to say, homie, i about died laughing reading the recap. dinner and pie this weekend with your lovely lady will hopefully repair the damage done. if i make it through KC later this month there may even be a birthday drink in the cards for you.

added bonus? you may henceforth be permanently and ridiculously chipper due to the complimentary shock therapy. (and possibly prone to pants-wetting when operating food processors and vacuum cleaners but that's a small price to pay for bliss).

happy birthday dude!

glad you're still older than me

Hello Thursday thread.

That Electric company youtube link was totally awesome and a flashback that made me grin, so thanks. "Heeeeeeeeey Yooooo--ooooo Guuuuys!!!"

...and shit Boschi, your day was crap in a handbasket. I want to wish you a happy birthday, but I am a little afraid it will cause a house to fall on your head or a mild explosion or something *whispers happy thursday instead*.

So. Uh.

Today is still Thursday. I have today off... actually a few days off. I just got done working a 72 hour week yesterday morning, so I am pretty tired. I get to work days next week, and it is also my last week of summertime employment... I have been staying with my brother and family for the summer and it has been spectacular *and* my sister comes to visit next Thursday night. We three kids haven't been in the same place at the same time in over three years, so I am pretty excited.

...and also my brother's dog has ticks. *shiver*

the end.

I have two very good reasons for being happy today 1. I am off today 2. Today is kindreds (writerfreak) birthday so lets party. She cant be here cause she is in Rach,s arms. We are on the phone together as we speak I am soooo embarrassing her in front of her girl friend. I am happy for her Happy birthday sweetie.

[gorn]

Nobody's arms could keep me away on a Thursday, MKF! But I'm happy for writerfreak and wish her the happiest of Bithursday's!


Goddamn, it's hot as HELL out there, MKF!! I might even skip lunch today because I'm too afraid of walking out to my car. I'm gonna sit right here in the air-conditioned office and order a pizza or something.

Assuming it cools down enough this evening for me to get through the parking lot and drive home, Mrs. Gorn & I are going to be watching the first game of Pre-Season Football tonight!! Dallas vs. Indianapolis! God, how I love Thursday night Football ... I know it's just pre-season, MKF, but Mrs. Gorn & I have really, really missed watching football. We've both signed up for the same fantasy league, so we'll be sitting there on the edge of our seats, beer, popcorn, and yellow legal pads at the ready!

Happy Thursday, everyone! If you're anywhere in the States, please stay cool!

[WebWarlock]

No kidding.

I am hidding in my basement office now. Screw outside it's too damn hot. That is when we are not getting thunderstorms, floods and tornados.

Sounds like summer in Chicago!

HAPPY THURSDAY KITTIES!!!!!

Tim

[woahnellie]

oh yeah IT'S THURSDAY! and of all thursdays it the first Bengals game of the season. WHO-DEY baby! time for some drinks and well some more drinks!

[dlline]

Who-Dey! Backatcha.

Sorry, can't help myself. It's the Bengals.

[kisstheviolets]

sounds like it may soon be time for rehab, too.

i'm having a busy thursday, but the knowledge that i only have two more thursdays left at my job is the most glorious thing ever!

happy thursday, people!

[tarawhipped]

Thursday used to be really cool and laid back, but for the last couple months they've been crazy-ass busy, and today was no different. Luckily I finished a big project at work and spent most of today playing catch up, so *fingers crossed* next week will go back to normal.

To top it off, it's hot as...really hot hotness in Chicago, and Ang had to work late, so I had to take the stupid, slow, smelly train home. Blah.

But hey! It's almost Friday, and therefore almost the weekend! Woot!

-Cam

[woahnellie]

lol who dey dlline....at least somebody knows what the hell i'm talking about! and yes maybe i will attend rehab...a thursday night would be great for that!

[littlewicca]

why do you need to go there ktv?

really Thursday are not my day.. are just waiting friday´s night

[gorn]

Gratz to you Bengals fans out there! Happy to see them win on a Thursday! Even happier to see my team win - how 'bout them Cowboys?? Mrs. Gorn is a Colts fan, though, so I have to celebrate a little quietly ...

If you've still got some Thursday left tonight, enjoy! It's almost the weekend, MKF!

[littlewicca]

wrll mine is over, is friday and im happy for that, im sorry, is nothing against you
Happy day for you anyway

[woahnellie]

well we actually lost gorn but thanks for the congrats anyways. at least our first string looked good and its only preseason. happy thursday to all and to all a goodnight

[Boschi]

Hpyb-day writerfreak. wootktv jobdonesoon. Football, football. bad stinkytrain, whodey whatdey....

(replies, relevant comments and greetings)

Must sleep now.

[kisstheviolets]

why do you need to go there ktv?

lighten up. clearly they don't have jokes in your part of the world.

hey gorn... five more days 'til thursday!

[gorn]

It's just Thursday, MKF!

I woke up this morning and asked Mrs. Gorn to fix me up some Sassy Eggs! It's my last day to enjoy them, as I've now got 500 posts! Mrs. Gorn didn't really know what I was talking about, though, so I just got 2 fried eggs - close enough!

Here, someone grab the other end of this line and help me string up these Teeny Tinkerbell Lights.

[woahnellie]

ok i got the other end. and some drinks to celebrate this wonderful thursday

[Willowtree252]

Happy Thursday yall............ we are dancing for your Teeny Tinkerbell Lights

[kisstheviolets]

when were the christmas lights in tara's room ever referred to as teeny tinkerbell lights? i thought that phrase was used to describe the little floaty light spell tara taught willow? i'm confused. either way gorn, hope you're enjoying your new level.

my thursday has been fairly uneventful but i've been having a shitty week so uneventful is definitely a good thing. i was busy at work, went to lunch with a coworker and caught a nice buzz, and am now home and ready to go to sleep at 7pm. but, it was my second to last thursday at work and i'm off tomorrow. woohoo!

and i just realized that i will be getting home to new england on thursday 8/30 - i can think of no better day to arrive!!

happy thursday peeps.

[Boschi]

Hmmm.... so on the minutiae kick - when were the lights in Tara's room referred to as fairy lights? I'm sure they were. Or fairly sure at least. They have been in a million fics to be sure.

At anyrate. It's Thursday and I'm up far too late again. The weather is hot, the pests are swarming, the crops are dying, my frick'n frack'n job has me mowing grass for hours at a time in 100+ degree heat,

and

My mom and are are buying the coolest house. Right down the street from the gf. So me splitting my time between households becomes decidedly less stressful.

Life ain't half bad.

Cheers all,

Boschi

[gorn]

I think ktv is right. Sometime this afternoon - well after I'd posted - I was admiring my shiny new title and discovered it was "Teeny Tinkerbell Light" - singular. Oops. I confess there are W/T moments in Season 4 (and a lot in Season 6) which I have not yet seen. I think it's the scene in "Neverland" where they're hanging the lights in Tara's room that I was thinking of, and just assumed there was something corresponding on the show. My bad.

In my defense, that scene in Neverland is really, really good. It SHOULD have been on the show.

There, I feel completely vindicated now.

[kisstheviolets]

oh gorn. i wasn't busting your chops, i promise. you're not the only one to confuse fic with canon. i wasn't entirely sure myself. (and totally agree that EVERYTHING in "neverland" should be on the big screen somehow). this reminds me of dlline's short story about all the overused w/t cliche's in fic. check it out if you haven't done so already, it's hilarious and so true.

i've still got two and a half hours of thursday left. eat your heart out kids.

[gorn]

Enjoy it while you can, ktv! In 2 weeks, your Thursday will be wrapping up an hour before mine!

If I were still in Japan, my Thursday would've finished yesterday ... Isn't that a weird thought? I dislike time zones intensely, except for Thursdays - for a stretch of about 48 hours, it's got to be Thursday somehwere in the world. And that's kind of a comforting thought.

Wait, I take that back. I like time zones on Friday, too, because it's Saturday in Japan and they (generally) don't e-mail me at work.

[gorn]

Is it already Thursday again, MKF??

Seems I've been saying this a lot on Thursdays lately, but it is HOT AS HELL out there!!! My lawn turned to dust and blew away about 2 weeks ago! They're saying now we might not see any rain or cooler temperatures until sometime next week ...

In better news, this is the first week in a long time that Mrs. Gorn doesn't have to work on Saturday, so our countdown to the weekend is finally in-synch. The company is having a picnic this Saturday (wtf were they thinking?), but neither one of us is planning to venture out into the inferno that this August has become. I foresee a lot of beer and tv ... perhaps even a little air-conditioned afternoon hanky-panky (can you still call it "hanky-panky" if you're married? It sounds so ... illicit, you know?).

I've got my big Thursday Meeting in about half an hour, probably going to take up the rest of the afternoon. We all sit around and talk about how great Thursdays are! No, just kidding. My boss is starting to show symptoms of leaving the office early; if he does, I'm right behind him! I DREAD walking the dog when I get home, but it will be nice to out of the office regardless. Mrs. Gorn has been talking about making oyakodon tonight, so I'm looking forward to that. You'd think she'd cook Japanese food more often, but it's actually pretty rare that she does ...

So, that's my Thursday. Hope the rest of you Kittens out there are staying cool ... except for the southern-hemisphere Kittens who are freezing in winter now.

Have a great Thursday!

[kisstheviolets]

today's my last day at work!! woo and hoo!

i just got back from lunch at the mission inn... my boss actually realized it was my last day and proposed taking me and the other attorney out for lunch. i think the earth may be spinning backwards.

so now i'm just trying to wrap things up in the office before heading home where i have a busy evening ahead of me since i'm leaving first thing in the morning. i've got to pack up the car (and maybe finish a bit of packing, oops) tonight, and my mom is making nachos (one of my faves) for dinner. my best friend is bringing her little ones over so i can say goodbye - that is going to blow. but i've taken plenty of pictures and have some videos of them on my phone. the youngest one, a girl, has taken to shouting "don't touch my weiner" when her diaper is changed and i kind of really want an audio clip of that... it's so wrong but hysterical.

so that's my thursday. glorious but bittersweet. a week from today i'll be back home in new england.

happy thursday!

[maudmac]

Mrs. Gorn has been talking about making oyakodon tonight, so I'm looking forward to that.

OMG, do you know, I read that as "Mrs. Gorn has been talking about making oxycodone tonight...."

The weather is out of control. It's 104 degrees! I am pretty sure baby Jeebus would be crying his little eyes out right about now if he weren't suffering a heatstroke and hadn't sweated away all his fluids.

Yes, the grass is horrible. So dead. Grass should not be crispety crunchety, but there it is.

My Thursdays seem like they'll be better for the next several months, because my Thursday classes are over by 2 p.m. Still not free on Fridays, though, but I can live with the reality of my life right now. Except maybe for that part about having to park 4 blocks from my class... Oh well, I'll be complaining about how cold it is soon enough.

LINKS!!!

Just fun stuff:


- Toy Ads that Time Forgot (old print and TV ads for toys you will surely remember if you are over 30)

- The Grocery List Collection - world's largest online collection of found grocery lists

Because I love abandoned stuff:


- Forbidden Places - urban exploration (you can sort by country or category or whatever)

- d e s o l a t e | m e t r o p o l i s (check out the Categories at the bottom)

Nerd alert:

- Social Explorer - Demographic Maps (you can select maps using US Census data going back 60 years and look at stuff like age, sex, race, income, education, poverty, etc.)

Happy Thursday, KittenPlanet!

ETA: "don't touch my weiner"?!? Hope you have a safe and pleasant trip, ktv.

[Willowtree252]

I am on cloud nine, Heaven I'm in Heaven, I am dancing around singing. I have reservation's, soft music, candle lite and drinks the rest just priceless This woman is making me feel so special and wanted. I am soooo happy and this is the best Thursday!!!! HAPPY THURSDAY!

[gorn]

Actually, maudmac, I don't like to talk about Mrs. Gorn's "side business." The Internet is not nearly as anonymous as it used to be ...

I would've thought it's obvious to anyone, though, that I only post on the Kittenboard when I'm shot full of Mrs. Gorn's oxycodone. That's what makes me seem so witty and intelligent.

[woahnellie]

Just another Thursday in the life of Janelle, one day closer to the "F" word! yay thank goodness i need a weekend. all in all it wasn't my worst thursday ever....i just think it's meant to be...thursdays hate me. so I will buy it a drink, what kind of drink would you like, i hear you're kind of "thursdy"
