clevermanka | Twenty-five cents will start you flying!

mckitterick. Alas, this could be the last vintage ad I see for a while. I had to un-join the community this morning. They've got this new thing where every Monday they post movie trailers (WTF?) and it added about six screens to my f-page reading. I don't deal well with tedium and that was just too tedious for me to bother with. Even just once a week. Yes, I am that impatient and lazy.

KCRF Media Party was a wash-out. It rained like crazy, and management closed everything down at 7:30. Thirty minutes before I could have gotten a turkey leg for my efforts. Fuckers. It was my first performance as Azucena without the wig, and I doubt anyone but other Brothel members noticed. Excellent. I tried a Brigitte Bardot-esque half-updo that worked well, although I want a bit more oomph. This might be the final encouragement I need to purchase a Bump-it. Yes!

Tonight is my first appointment in the Rolfing 10-Series with Risa at Kinetikos. My wonderful acupuncturist Kiva suggested I pursue this course of treatment for some worsening shoulder issues that haven't resolved with two acupuncture treatments. I wonder if the treatments might also help my longtime hip joint issues. Here's hoping!

Tonight is also the last night of Gopi's yoga class for three weeks. Ugh. Bitch feels she deserves to go to some sort of stupid yoga conference and then a vacation. Back to back. Whatever.

And now I have to go to a training session for new applications processing techniques. Good times!

Update: New applications processing techniques are made of awesome. We're moving towards 100% electronic applications. Saving paper, saving time, and saving applicants' money. Score! I'm very pleased about the changes to our applications and admissions system.

You know, I meant to mention yesterday that your hair is getting Really Long. Next time in the tub, I'll remind you to pin it up!
Yes, yes, get a Bump-It. :)

Eh. I needed to wash my hair anyway! =D

Thank you for that soak. My shoulder was better this morning. Mmmm. Unfortunately, it seized up again during my training session. *sigh*

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Feel free to ask if you find yourself in need of a soak, I keep it Ready To Go 24/7, other than doing a day's drain and refill at the end of the month.

.. But not until the Lawrence water loses that funky odor.

I might take you up on that! Very generous.

All the better to see you more often, my dear.

Oh, Holly does rolfing at Kinetikos too. Or at least, she used to. We haven't spent time with her or Brett in a long time.

I'd probably have to be tied down for that. I can barely stand a regular massage. Hope it helps!

Alas, Holly was booked up for the next six weeks!

Oh wow! Chris would be right there with his 25 cents. wouldn't he?

I started getting bent out of shape when people started posting You Tube junk instead of words, and just LOOK at what it's done to me!

Chris would be right there with his 25 cents. wouldn't he

Faster than you can say "Bad Idea!">

I want to build a Glide-O-Bike™! Unfortunately, I suspect one can no longer order the plans. *sigh*

Plans, schmans. I'm sure anything you designed would be a million times better.

:-D

And then "13th street here I come!", eh?

What an EXCELLENT idea!

As long s you are airborne over Tennessee and Kentucky, it could work. Otherwise your best bet is probably Daisy Hill Rd, where the wind would give you added lift.

Fourteenth is better for airborne experiments. Especially (a) flaming Dumpsters and (b) sledding Sunflower House residents. Not that I'd know about either one. ~_~

I agree that fourteenth is a better slope. And eleventh isn't anything to sneeze at, either.

Those applications processing techniques - they are being activated this term (for the terms following) I presume?

I love the Glide-O-Bike...people really did talk like this once upon a time...I wonder how adopting "Golly that's swell" into my daily discourse will come across.

All changes are effective for the upcoming application season. Which, for us, means Fall 2011 since English doesn't admit for Spring.

I use "swell" to mean "great" once in a while, but I think the addition of "golly" might put it over the top. =)

I use things like "golly!" and "gee whiz!" and stuff all the time. Let us petition for more of such talk, by gosh!

OMG I WANT THE 10-Series!!! OMG WANT WANT!

My experience this afternoon with Risa was phenomenal. I'll post about it Tuesday.

Cripes, is that what they did to

vintage_ads? I go away for a couple of weeks and it all goes to hell. I have so much LJ to catch up on I can't gauge yet exactly how much it'll alter my regular flist volume, but if it keeps up like this, I may have to stop following it too. Not sure why they thought this was a good idea. :P

For real. So. Annoying! If I want to watch movie trailers on YouTube, I can fucking look them up myself.

The first movie post has numerous comments mirroring your (and my) concerns. I suggested they start a different community for "vintage" movie trailers. I will, at minimum, remove the community from my default view if they don't put an end to it.

Wait, if I want to see any of my actual friends' posts, I'd better do that now. DO NOT WANT

Well, they took my suggestion (http://community.livejournal.com/vintage_ads/2158639.html), but still plan to have trailer days on

vintage_ads. This could be the end of something beautiful.

It is the end, as far as I'm concerned. It was nice while it lasted.

Twenty-five cents will start you flying!
