There's something about your writing here...I don't know that I can describe it, but it's just a little Sassy McSass-alot. Slightly delirious/whimsical/short? I bet you are fun right now. Wish I could bring my brother's old BB gun over.

Re: Sassy McSass-alot ammichaels July 13 2005, 04:59:54 UTC

And by "fun" do you mean "drunk"?

Re: Sassy McSass-alot skjohnson July 13 2005, 05:07:45 UTC

Well I didn't want to ASSUME that the entire bottle of Sauv Blanc had been consumed, but yes. Ding ding ding ding (insert clip art of me pressing my nose with left hand finger, and right hand finger pointed upwards). My original title was Drunky McDrunk-alot.

Re: Sassy McSass-alot skjohnson July 13 2005, 05:09:59 UTC

And yes, drunk and fun are synonymous in SJ-AM land.

You are Funny McFunnington.

Yes, good wine can go with Happy Meal. (I base this on my fifty million years of marriage.)

Note to Self: rent Gilmore Girls and see what all the fuss is about.

I had sworn off McD's (if I move here, I want to be healthy and sexy and glamorous like Ann Marie)...but I had to have my Scottish fast food fix.

This morning, I have lived to regret this decision.

Maybe I shouldn't have gorged on a Big Mac and a 10 piece nuggets.

Yes, last night was that decadent. Not very glamorous, but very decadent...

Whatever wine you choose, you should probably add about half a pound of sugar -- to match the food.

Mmmmmm...

Maybe you should have a late meal and grill some squab. Send those birds a message. "You smell that, birds?!"

Seriously though, here's some weird but probably effective devices to keep birds away: http://www.safehomeproducts.com/SHP2/es/Visual_Scare_Devices.asp?b=ie6c&w=688&h=348&f=N&frompg=267&topg=267&menupage=6

Re: The fookin' birds jeffreality July 13 2005, 14:49:11 UTC

They were at it all night. ALL NIGHT.

Okay. So here's the plan:

I'm going to see if Ann Marie has a super-soaker from her CKS/Razorfish days. If not, I'll just get a cheap water gun.

And I'm going to teach those things something about rhythm in a very Pavlovian way.

I'm thinking, something along the lines of:
cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep
cheep, cheep
budda budda budda budda

...like New Order's Blue Monday.

At least then, I could theoretically get some sleep. Or, you know, open a dance club.

Re: The fookin' birds jeffreality July 13 2005, 15:07:32 UTC

I have determined, in about a dozen days of listening to these birds non-stop, that they have NO discernable pattern.

(I wish I had a recorder so I could prove this to those Audubon people...they've stopped returning my phone calls)

I think that they're the first truly random event in the universe (because I'm convinced that at *some* point, pi will start repeating).

I've decided this morning that I believe they are chanting out the creation of the universe. If they ever get interrupted, or stop, the world will end.

I'm just not sure why they're IN ANN MARIE'S FRONT YARD instead of Tibet.

I'm going to call the tree they're in Yggdrasil, just to mix mythical metaphors.

They're still going at it now.

Re: The birds ammichaels July 13 2005, 15:08:54 UTC

That made me laugh.

The thing is I like having the birds. I even love their singing during the day. It's the nighttime parties that I mind.

PS: Terror Eyes is creepy. If I bought that, it would scare me!

Just wait till you watch Veronica Mars. Total CrackTV. (yes yes, one of these days I'll burn a copy of my bittorrented bootlegs of season one and get it to you. If you come up to SF I can give it to you in person)

Re: addictive tv ammichaels July 16 2005, 14:59:54 UTC

Ah yes, I am tivoing it. When I am done w/ Gilmore Girls, I'll get to that.
