Housh, do you get the Sparrow art books at the library? They look pretty cool

Nah, we don't get those. Looks like we should, though.

just saw the ad in an old copy of "30 Days of Night" and it looked pretty cool

that movie scurred me

So someone just mentioned that the liquor stores aren't open in a lot of places on Thanksgiving. I have three frigid cold Guinness sitting in the fridge, and bunch of nasty-ass Amstel Lights that my brother drinks (seriously, that's some nasty beer - and I'm not comparing it to Guinness or art beer or anything, it's just not good).

I need an algebraic equation to figure out whether I should go buy more. There are too many variables. My brother, uncle and cousin may not drink. There have been events where they're like "No thanks" and then other events when they're like "Yes bring me two to start". So that's unpredictable. If they do, and there were no Guinness, they would be fine with Amstel and I would be able to rid my fridge of it. However, if I break out a Guinness, they're going to want a Guinness. Four minus three + good host means I don't get one. Normally three Guinness in the fridge is the right number for me. Odds are I won't drink two, but I want the third available just in case, and it covers me if Mrs Vox wants one. She'll probably drink wine tomorrow, but you never know with her. So that might mean FIVE people for three beers and I certainly can't have one tonight if I want to (and I think I'm gonna).

I guess I should just go get more, I coulda been there and back in the time it took to ponder this. Might get some Strohs too. Not for any reason I can explain properly.

The liquor store I went to today is open 9-4 tomorrow

But you should go get more now anyway. You don't have to put it in the fridge, right away, do you?

Nah, I'll buy shelved stuff and keep the rest in the garage. Good to know that NJ isn't one of those places if I don't get to it.

Found out yesterday that I had a great-grandfather named Maximilian

I confirmed for Vox that both the liquor store and the grocery store next to it are open tomorrow, I believe 9-4. He will be getting ice, Guinness, and a birthday present for his mom (a gift card from the grocery store).

Mrs. Vox ruined the surprise

My sister, the third of three children, just told my mom she was irresponsible for having three kids because overpopulation is ruining the environment and the planet. Oh boy, you send a kid to college and they turn into a hippie retard.

I made white bean soup yesterday. I'm eating it today. It's better today.

bought an imac and am now waiting in the parking lot til 1030 woohoo. Least i have the sixers

I need something cool to wear to this late sixtes/early seventies themed party I'm going to in February. I was thinking a cool mod suit, but there are at least three problems with that idea: 1) Will anyone recognize its coolness? 2) I'm probably too fat to look good in one. 3) From my internet search, they seem to be pretty expensive, and most of them come from Britain.

I doubt I'll be able to pull this look off:



But maybe I can put together something like this?



or this?

Except it's true. However, "ruining" may be too strong a word choice. I'd go with "detrimental to".

Mickey appears to be wearing a tablecloth over black jeans, so if you have to throw something together last minute that might be the way to go.

I think a leisure suit is the way to go. It says "I am relaxing, but seriously". It's like a power/speed index you can wear. I can't imagine why they went out of style.

And there are lots of pockets to put your bifocals in.

I almost bought a Boise State knit hat today at TJ Maxx for 5 bucks.

When I think leisure suit, I think lime green or pale blue. But based on e-bay, shit brown was the most popular color for a leisure suit. I remember my father wearing a light blue denim leisure suit with a white turtleneck. But I'd want the butterfly collar outside the lapels for sure.

I had a tan one in like middle school (worn with a silk shirt outside the collar, of course). I'd like to think I only wore it to church, but I have a sickening feeling I also wore it to the school dances, which we called canteens, and during which I mostly played paper football. The leisure suit often came in earth tones, echoing its progenitor, the safari suit.

She could be completely, indisputably right (she's not) and it would still be an utterly stupid and hurtful thing to say to one's mother.
