Possible Topics
We feel that those at the lounge are not being terribly vocal. Thus, we thought we should maybe give some possible discussion topics:

scotch on the rocks.
Ooh, a lovely drink! Fabulous! I am sadly drinking some discount wine. But there we are :)
I am so not party-prepped. Watching polar express. Barely touched my second glass of wine. I'll try to perk up and put on my party dress. Perhaps I will start with the vegetarian question. Once I was a vegetarian. I had a few allowances. Fish was one of them. So was bacon. Without those two things, the vegetarianism would have lasted a fortnight. With them, it lasted three months. Bacon is my favorite vegetable.
I'm not drinking because I am trying to get pregnant (and could be now- I won't know for a few weeks). I"m actually very tired... Oh- I think vegetarianism is AWESOME (I've been veggie for almost 16 years)
I have some vegetarian friends -- and I like them fine -- having a vegetarian debater was a pain in the ass -- the only place we could eat was Subway... sigh.
debating: sleepytime tea and early to bed; G&T; Blue Moon
doing: What Not to Wear; making a solid impression of my butt on the couch
sign: cap
vegetarianism: was one for years, but I like bacon too much. I now eat bacon and hamburgers. Occasionally turkey. And sushi. Never chicken. Ever.
OK. Drinking second glass of wine faster. Getting ready to watch a repeat of NUMB3RS. Things are looking up for Friday night!
Hmm. I get the feeling that the culture of the lounge is that we don't talk shop. Sadly, I have no other news to report. Perhaps I could go on about how much I love The National.
Nik: As I'm a fan of a Christmas movie (though have never watched Polar Express) I support your endeavors this evening. That said, I love that you excepted BACON when you tried the veggie thing. That is both wrong and awesome :)
Addy: You might have a BABY? Hurrah! Best wishes in that regard, and just, well, HURRAH! (That being said, I can't imagine not eating meat for 16 years, for I am a carnivore, and couldn't imagine a world without sausage.)
IPF: That said, the subway veggie sub is grand....
dudes, i gotta tell you about the woman i'd be replacing. if you delete it, you know...whatever.
k, she left in the middle of the year to go to kim il sung university in north korea and teach communist party ideology as religion.
PG: You know I support the idea of a G&T, but you'll have to do what's best for you :)
why not chicken?
I have a pal who picks it out of chicken noodle soup from a can. Her theory is that she can't identify which part of the chicken the little bits are, and she's not into eating chicken scraps,
New kitty says hello--- it looks like this:
......-+++
I'm kind of starting to get a cold, so I'll probably go to bed early. If I had some rum and egg nog, I'd be drinking that -- as it is, I'm going to try to stay in the apartment complex all weekend -- and we don't have a store... sigh.
Oh. Here's related vegetarian story. My sister in law was just here. She's mostly veg and doesn't eat wheat but she eats fish. But, there was a time when she was vegan, ate no wheat, no potatoes, no rice. She lived on lettuce. Actually, she still mostly eats lettuce. It was slightly uncomfortable to eat a plateful of turkey leftovers while she ate lettuce and watched.
Woah! Anastasia. That is radical. I've thought of bailing on my job but there are so few good communist countries to defect to.
I may be off -- but isn't a central communist tenent that there isn't a religion... and, no wonder she didn't like it in the rural place where it snows sideways :).
Nik: We can talk shop in the lounge, it's just that for Med and I we try to address things that we wouldn't address regularly on our regular blogs. But if you have shop-talking sort of news, it's not off-limits.
Anastasia: We'll totally delete. FOR REAL? That's crazy. And I'm Crazy calling it crazy :)
OK- I'm waking up a bit now that I left my bed. Maybe I'll make a cup of hot chocolate and bring my laptop to bed while I watch a BAD Lifetime movie... And yes, we are trying to have another baby, now that we are 99% sure about getting tenure. This will all be very interesting, since our daughter is now 8 (and she is also veggie, btw)! What an age gap that will be if we succeed!
Addy....
My step-sisters are about 10 years apart and are very close. They didn't have the sibling rivalry issues that those of us closer in age had...
NK... share, please. I'd love to hear that you have some good job news!
I told my friend I should show up at the interview and say, GOD BLESS AMERICA! And the baby Jesus. Yes, totally.
and yeah, there's not supposed to be religion. but there she is.
as for veggies...kizzy refuses to eat meat. maybe she was born that way? b/c we are totally not.
ITPF: chicken is just. umm. ewww. gross. too close to the bone, etc. i've always felt this way, was the only kid who didn't want to fight over the drumstick, etc.
Dr Crazy: The G&T just might happen. Sleepytime tea and bed would be prudent, and I'm oddly worn out (or is it really odd when I've had an 8 or 9 every morning this week and have been on the phone with 402 until around 2 ever night?). Hell, I should be writing tonight. Or grading. But my brain is too worn out. Maybe G&T and Buffy?
Anastasia: Damn! That is so not what I would have expected the back-story to be. Wow.
profgrrrrl -- I suppose I see the chicken issue, I always feel a little icky eating chicken wings. I have a friend who won't eat anything off the bone -- steak, porkchop or chicken.
ewww chikin wings....
snows sideways :)
This weekend it is supposed to be an ice storm -- They shut down the roads for about 5 days last spring.... hubby was trying to drive home for "spring" break and had to go around the whole state!
I do love to talk about weather. When my best friend was in Guatemala, I sent her the weather from the Oregonian every week.
So. The update here. 12 degrees. Snow on the ground. Promise of more snow or freezing rain.
Where I'm from, there's no such thing as freezing rain. Rain or snow. Sometimes hail. But ice coming down on my head? It seems bad everywhere. Tell me more.
Inside: I love that there are whole states one can avoid. It seems some states (the one I'm living in being one of them) that have worse weather than their very nearby neighbors.
Hello, commenters! If you've not refleshed, you really should! Let's continue the conversation up in the most recent (awesome collage) post.
my kid is dying to build a snowman. so i think we could at least provide her that opportunity.
The freezing rain thing is kind of icky -- what happens is that snow comes down thru a warm layer of air, then hits cold air at groud level and freezes.
The worst bit is to de-ice your car. Southerners at our Air force base used to put sheets on their cars and then try to get the sheet off -- that didn't work, the sheet just froze to their car. You have to go out really f-ing early to start the car and let it warm up all the way before you can hope to get the ice off...
weather. heh. weather.
anastasia - omfg!!
(still chasing comments...)
What happened to the post?
I think those huge balls made it fall off the face of the Internets ;)
