no! I love rush! and I've been wanting one of those 'retro' looking c/d,cd,turntable component thingers.
Very old school looking...

Here is my new bass...except mine is black. Also bought a Boss bass effects board. It fucking rules!

hubbys in a bad mood today so I'm happy he's left the house:)

Welcome to the thickstringers club, Syc!

You boys should do a video jam and put it up.

:D

What does that mean, monster? Some sort of skating merit badge?

yup. skillz man, skillz.

I passed the final element of my test for Basic 7. I make them give me the patches because I'm a big kid :D Basic 8 has two jumps and a one-foot spin and all sorts of scary goodies on it :eek:

You must be able to skate backwards then, huh?

I can :D with party tricks. (still prefer forwards, though)

I have a found a lil cutie in the town I'll be living in Wyoming.. thank the Lord because there's only just over 15,000 people in the city.. slim pickins'.

Sometimes life's just kinda nice. *smiles*

I am sitting at my desk, logged onto the Cellar, drinking fizzy water and a cup of de-caff tea. That makes me amazingly happy.

Having been here three days I am already trusted enough to be given the keys so I can come in early to let the cleaner in. And yesterday my Manager (a super-cool potty-mouthed Aussie) hinted that they might interview me for this position after all... Which is highly irregular, but would be wonderful.

I don't know if I told you why I am here, rather than sitting at home watching daytime TV and getting less than half of what I am earning... I went to a Pub Quiz a couple of weeks ago, and HM was in a lazy mood and let me go alone. I asked the Landlord whether he knew any teams that would accept an outsider and he directed me to Catherine and Anya. Who work here. And told me that they were looking for a receptionist and administrator but that I'd just missed the deadline for applying. I dropped my CV off the next day anyway and on Friday (just gone) I got a call asking me to come in to cover while they were recruiting.

The building is right at the end of my road, although the entrance is in the next street (booooo, an extra 40 seconds of walking) and is a super cool building - I'll take a photo as soon as I buy my laptop (!!!)

This is their website, they are a really interesting bunch of people.

I have brought in a bunch of daffodils for my desk, and a box of Maltesers, in a shamelessly transparent attempt to bribe my way into their hearts. Fingers crossed! At the very least I have a couple of weeks work and it's wonderful to be starting so close to home and with such a chilled out team.

YAY SG!!! :D

:cool:

Looks like a perfect fit.

That's fantastic, SG!

That is so great, SG. Sounds perfect. I'm very happy for you.

Just show up, sundae, and the Universe will love you!!

good for you, woman!


The sun is shining here...that's good. :)

Yes it is Bri. Almost 60 today! :) Get out and enjoy that sunshine, girl.

Way to go, Sundae!

Some new scouts are joining the troop tonight! And this weekend will be their first camping trip as Boy Scouts. We'll be at a very easy site, right on the water. Low tide is at 0730, so I'll be able to collect plenty of fresh oysters.

Fresh oysters and fresh scouts?

going to be reading about V in the paper !!!





Just Joshing V !! ;) ;)

In february a schoolgirl went missing, it's been all over the news and resulted in the biggest search in Yorkshire since the Yorkshire Ripper case. So often those stories end with a body in a ditch, or the child never found. Today police found Shannon alive. This makes me happy.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/w...re/7296756.stm

Wonderful news. I'm glad she was found.

Invariably, someone calls at the last minute every friday with a sob story and a "what do you mean I have to actually attend my classes to receive free money" as they try to twist your words every which way so you'll say what they want to hear.

Why does this make me happy? My boss got this last call, not me! She's very kind. I have to be nice too but it doesn't come as easily. ;)

Oh, whew, I thought I'd never find my local FedCom representative.

I am glad the little girl was found danac.
---------------------------------------------
Nice place to work SG. I am happy for you.

OMG BACK POPPING IS TEH ROXXORS.

That is all.

CF, I take that to mean that the chiropractor fixed your subluxation?

AT&T removed all the charges that I incurred playing with the internet feature on my bluetooth phone (see below).

I feel very relieved.

Well, he popped my back and it immediately felt better. (He told me, "Now, you're going to feel sore from the adjustment for several hours, you may need some ice," and I was like, "No way, it felt great, can you do it again?!") I'm not totally pain-free, but now it's just a sore back instead of a stabbing, incapacitating pain. And now that I've learned a new way to pop my back that doesn't require me to lay on my stomach, I can make my husband do it whenever I need. :)

I GOT TEH JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is amazing. Not only is it a great environment, but they pay a living wage, they are literally at the end of my road (pm me for google earth instructions if you're really that interested!) and they wanted me after I'd worked here a week so they know what they're getting.

Got the call last night (Friday, about 30 mins after the interview) so I'm having a GOOD weekend! Esp as I picked up a super-smashing-great pair of boots from the charity shop I volunteer at on Saturdays, and am working tomorrow at my local pub!!

Popped in for the genuine reason that I left my cashpoint (ATM) card here, but thought I'd capitalise on it while present :)

Great news SG

congrats! :celebrat:

Woooo! Go Sundae! Go Sundae!

How totally awesome. You're luck is turning around.

Now you have to come down & see me babba.

(thanks sky & binky)

I bought this little electric fireplace a couple of months ago. I would have bought a bigger version but my apartment is small. I am not out to impress anyone anyway just save on the electric that my basebord heaters pump out. I am happy to say that this little thing has cut my electric bill in half.

I've written two songs on the bass already...I'm quite enjoying it.

The Orbz and Tape Deck Sonata play tonight at The Way Out Club...it's gonna be a great show!

New and very fast vehicle (Nissan Sentra SE-R "Spec V"). through an easy transaction despite my treacherous credit background, via our own Mr. Lumberjames.

awesome

Nice run of luck all!

About a year ago, I started fencing for fitness and kid time. I made it my goal to be competitive in the little tournament at BU that the have this time every year. If I remember correctly they had maybe 10 epee fencers of dubious skills last year. I fought today in a loaded field of 38 folks and knocked off the guy ranked 10th coming out of the pools. I clawed my way to the round of 16. Go me!

Way to go, D'Artagnan!

hardly treacherous. a simple phone call. I really hope you like it. It's just like the demo I drove for 6000 miles and loved. great handling, brakes, and radio. and power enough to surprise most other cars at the stop light. needs red trim.


how about a picture of you two?

Hello,

DanaC and Monster have make me a member of the Cellar and that make me so happy that i could not sleep until this time :D

Don't we all brother, don't we all.

I can still walk this morning, after marshalling back-to-back swim championships for 9 hours straight. Oh and my kids swam great, too :D I slept for 13 hours last night, mind - was in bed before the kids at 9:30!

Wtg Sundae and Griff. Sky, my friend has a couple of those heaters, they put out a lot of heat.

Oh, and I'm about to hit the tip jar to UTD can pay off his car and not make LJs deal look bad :).

Hit it for me, too, will you monster? I'm a little short this month.

sure thing, I don't get there every month either.

you got alot of stamina girl to to back to backs like that.
*feels old* whew...

and yup they( heaters) sure do! They warm me bones just fine.

Heading back to the States for the first time since school started. It's going to be a friggen marathon, though. Between flights and driving we'll tally up 24 hours of non-stop travel. Too bad neither I nor my girlfriend can sleep in planes or cars.

We're expecting another 16 inches of snow by tomorrow.

I'll be working from home.

Just caught up on this thread, and want to say in no pariticular order:

"YESS!!!" to SG, "holy crap, and whew" to HLJ, "be careful" and second the pic request to UT, "nice job, Zorro" to Griff, "good luck" to PW and his girlie friend, and just a general "yeah!" for all the other little things that are going good in cellarites lives.

It's great to hear.

A lot of happiness in the last few days. Way to go everyone.

My happiness is pretty basic, but great anyway. Spent a lot of time outdoors over the weekend with my wife and kids hiking and biking. That's always a good time.

met a great guy over the weekend. Will he call?????

Went to see my 95 year old grandma in nursing home today (she just moved there, it was increasingly difficult to keep her in her home though my dad and his siblings sure did try.) She seems really happy, and still has that dry wit that has always made me laugh.

I have ENERGY today! Yipeee! :)

Pete's latest goat product, vanilla yogurt is fab.

I just read a really cool book...y'know, one of those books that leaves a little of itself behind when you put it down for the last time. That's two brilliant books in a row. I love it when that happens.
