Threw her eggs at you all un-provoked-like, did she?

I'm still at work struggling to install a new server. I think I'll be here until 2009. (The year, not the time)

Hi, gaspode! Nothing much, except the great weather. How's the science world?

I kissed a girl at the Ding Dong Lounge! Alas, she's taken; she's already involved with one of my other female friends. They've been having sex for months and I had no idea!

I've gone tactical for the first time in eight years and am enjoying myself immensely. Congrats on the conspiratorial meetup milestone.

I now know what the inside of a penis looks like. I can direct you you photos if you like.

that was you inside my penis, p&c? Be more careful next time, that shit itches if you're not careful. Plus, you could get lost down there.

Welcome back!

I'm good Gaspode. How was your trip? I'm glad to see that you didn't fall off the bottom of the earth or get eaten by one of those antipodian monsters that are always destroying the ships of the Dutch East India Company. Did you bring us back any exotic spices (I particularly have a desire to try the one called "Pepper" or sometimes"Pfeppffer") or some kind of penguin preserved in brandy?

some kind of penguin preserved in brandy

This is pretty much a 90% accurate description of me.

Hallo 'pode!

trip was great. sun sun sun, friends, family, wedding, visits to old university to give seminars, lotsa boozing, music, friends, friends, jet boating, wineries, friends, homesickness upon leaving and a shitty flight back.

I tried to bring back the penguin, wino, but I drank the brandy (tasted fishy) and then had to throw away the penguin.

jon, I think chez gaspode will be slumbering quite early tonight, and can't really handle any beers. next time?

mcgraw... I assume the science world is as I left it. Not really keen to get back into it. want to stay on holiday forever.

They're predicting a heavy sunspot season, Almond Joys are still in production, and we know what our hands and feet look like now.

welcome home gaspode!

One of my cats was diagnosed with a hereditary heart condition (HCM, if anyone cares), meaning he how gets to take the same medication my dad does. On the same day, my other cat had emergency surgery because she'd been puking every 20 minutes for the better part of 24 hours and had to have a foreign body removed. This proved to be bits of plastic six pack rings and some kind of string, a perfect intersection of our slobbiness and her lack of judgement on what is and isn't food. The stitches come out on Friday. Oh and all of this happened less than 48 hours after th' wife got back from a trip to Virginia that lasted over a month. Also, I started smoking again after four+ years, but only at home and after six PM. For now anyway.

Since you asked.

aw man PST. That blows. Feel better kitters!

I had a very brief long-distance relationship, which started out a lot of fun and ended relatively sanely and as sweetly as one could ever hope for. Welcome home!
