rachelrunrun: poor planning
jillysp: there should never be a need for ANY commercial food product to require a five-page explanation of what it is made of and how it was derived.
rachelrunrun: that is such a good point
rachelrunrun: "Quorn's fungus is as closely related to mushrooms as humans are to jellyfish."
jillysp: this person must have written the SAT. |

jillysp: hi, my name is jill and i keep getting text messages from you
jillysp: i don't think you have the right person?
jillysp: i don't even know who you are
DeviantDvyne: i have no idea who u are either... and dont recall sending u any what did they say?
DeviantDvyne: were they to a cell phone?.. i think i understand.. haha too funny.. i guess that explains y he didn't respond to her then huh?. maybe that'll make her feel better
DeviantDvyne: sorry
jillysp: yes, they were to a cell phone
DeviantDvyne: looks like she is dislexic and switched numbers.. it is corrected
jillysp: it started out "i wasn't with any dudes for any longer than it took to complete a transaction yesterday. look i understand this isn't easy... it's not for me either... but please don't make this any harder for either of us by making totally unwarranted accusations or trying to fish for information that's not relevant so much anymore... or shouldn't be anyway. k?"
DeviantDvyne: haha... i'm so sorry
jillysp: "i have not at all had any interest in anyone but you since i got out of treatment at least.. u think just cuz u yelled at me and were very mean that all of a sudden i have a black book i kept just in case? no.. i have no interest in dating or men or anything close to resembling that. if i am not with u, then i would much rather be alone than make due."
DeviantDvyne: how many were there?
jillysp: a lot. twelve
DeviantDvyne: wow.. i'm sorry... i think we got it straight now..
DeviantDvyne: i'm supposed to ask was there any in there that it might b important to resend?
DeviantDvyne: "nasty breakup"
jillysp: uhh, yeah, here's the rest:
jillysp: "that's one thing we did not have in common.. i didn't just settle for whoever was around. or make due with what was offered to me. i was FAR FAR too selective and would have rathered you any day.. i would have and still would feel like it. have a nice day (you can reply to this message)"
jillysp: "(using AOL IM) let me know if u get this. so i know if it's workin'"
jillysp: "please"
jillysp: jillysp: well, i have no idea. clearly none of it got to the intended recipient! i was just like.. uhhhh someone thinks they are getting someone else but it's going to my phone -- i'm in new york city!
DeviantDvyne: what?? well.. then u certainly aren't the slime ball she's ditching haha.. 816 area code in NYC? thats interesting
jillysp: i'm originally from kc
DeviantDvyne: oh.. nice.. moving? or visiting?
jillysp: lived here for a couple years
DeviantDvyne: not long distance for home town homies to call.. had my 816 in L.A. so i get it. always thought i'd love to live in ny but never even been there

Oh look! The Smashing Pumpkins are reuniting! How... cute.
Text from the official website: "It's official, the Smashing Pumpkins are currently writing songs for their upcoming album, their first since 2000. No release date has yet been set, but the band plans to begin recording this summer."
Translation for the folks at home: "Hello! This is Billy Corgan and my solo album totally bombed! To what's left of my once-loyal fan base: please support me as I change my solo name to 'The Smashing Pumpkins' and rely on the crutch of my past success to bolster my fading career!" |

| i am a "quality of life" lawbreaker. |
[Feb. 18th, 2006|09:45 pm] |
Tonight, Jen and I went for burgers at Heartland Brewery in Union Square after I finished my workout at the gym. On the subway ride home, I decided to take the local train and read the paper instead of my usual route. It was freezing outside and I wanted to stay as warm as humanly possible. Entering Brooklyn, we stopped at Court Street on the R line. Two officers boarded the train, approached me (as I was reading The Onion), and asked me to step off the train with them. Never one to disobey law enforcement, I followed.
The first officer, who had a lilting Caribbean accent, informed me softly that I had committed a "summonsable" offense and asked me to sit down. I could hardly hear him and kept asking him to repeat what he was saying. Needless to say, I was in total disbelief as he explained to me that propping my feet up on the seat in front of me was a violation of the "quality of life" code of the subway...
... which would cost $50.
What. the. heck.
After he'd delayed me twenty minutes and I'd missed the next two trains home, he finally finished filling out my paperwork. In the time that it took him to complete the summons, four other officers had appeared and had pulled four other people off the subway to give them similar citations. As if 3.5% city tax, 4.5% state tax, and my federal taxes don't pay enough people's salaries to fix potholes in the roads on which I don't drive.
At this point, I struck up a conversation with three of the officers, asking general questions. I would like to share what I learned.
1) I asked the officers if they cite tourists. Answer: Yes.
2) Apparently, to ticket subway violators, you must wear a bulletproof vest and carry no fewer than one handgun.
3) I expressed my sympathy to the officers that they had to do this, as opposed to fighting "real crime." They voiced their agreement in the affirmative.
4) This particular infraction, according to my Caribbean officer, is not specifically named in the posted list of infractions. Rather, it is included in a "catch-all" statement that apparently exists at each subway kiosk. (What happens if you're illiterate or don't understand English?)
5) Police officers will suggest that since you're relatively new to the city, you may not have a realistic view of crime because you possess a Missouri ID.
6) Police officers will then laugh whole-heartedly when you fake a Southern accent in mockery of the fact that you used to live on the South Side of Chicago for four years and are insulted that they think NYC is a dangerous place. |

| mid-crunch. seriously. |

I had a training session this afternoon at the gym. Fifty-five minutes into the grueling workout, Adam leans in closely while I'm doing a set of crunches.
A (whispering): "Don't look now. But remember the lat machine where I first met you? Near the stairs?"
J: "Huh? Ohh.. yeah."
A: "When this set is done, please, you have to look over there."
J (wheezing): "Why? Is everything okay?"
A: "This guy thinks he's in the Village People."
J: *finishes set and looks over*
A: *raises eyebrows and grins widely*
J: *collapses into a fit of giggles*
A: *joins in*
There was a dude in leather pants, a cropped black muscle t-shirt, and a huge spiked dog collar. WITH A LEATHER CAB-DRIVER HAT ON. DOING LAT PULL-DOWNS. Oh man. I never thought I'd see the day.
Compare and contrast this scene with http://www.thegym.com ... You'll get the idea. |

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, yada yada yada.
my favorite grocery store's owner, steven jenkins, has a blog. it's worth reading. he made a german family who he's recently employed as a vendor sign a release that they were not, nor were any of their relatives, practicing nazis or affiliated with the party. he's my hero.
