I know it's only Wednesday, but anybody want to stay up late and hang out?

[Aristus]

Found myself in another cookie-cutter hotel room. Some company would be nice...

to all of my Lounge friends...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. I'll be around for awhile, my dear Aristus...

Heh. I'm doing laundry........again!

[Aristus]

2. CalPeg!

Watch this space! Tomorrow, Will Shakespeare will be joining me for what the Aussies call a "bew-zah!"

Thanks for hanging out!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Bew-zah?

What in God's good name is that???



I love hanging out with you, silly!

You and Will are soooo well-spoken...

[Aristus]

4. A 'boozer'.

I tried to approximate the Aussie accent as best I could.

Aw, shucks, CalPeg...

I usually have to be sloshed to be well-spoken. Will can do it stone-cold sober. (Not that that stops him from tying one on...)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Ah...no worries! I would never have gotten it if you hadn't told me!

You're very sweet when you've tied one on...

[Aristus]

6. You've heard of a mean drunk?

Am I a 'mean sober'?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Oh yes, I've heard of a mean drunk...

And no you are NOT a 'mean sober'!!!

You are a sweetheart, no matter if you've been drinking or not...

[TreasonousBastard]

8. Well, since I'm out of work thanks to the shutdown...

and watching Yoko Ono on Letterman.

She is, btw, as annoying as ever, but has a better backup band.

[Aristus]

9. Let's hope things get rolling again soon...

In the meantime, would it be over the top to say that I hope every repuke congresscritter gets a red-hot pair of pliers torqued around whatever is currently substituting for their testicles?

[TreasonousBastard]

10. Only if they were fed them. Raw.

[Aristus]

13. Damn straight...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. If you were at a Doubletree you would have actual cookies.

[Aristus]

12. Too bad. I'm at a La Quinta.

Pretty nice room, but no cookies.

And their wi-fi sucks...

[HeiressofBickworth]

14. Yup, I'm up late -- again

I'm usually up late for fun stuff -- doing genealogy research or just reading random things. But for the last 2 weeks I've had a nasty cold -- coughing, sore throat, runny nose, headache, etc., etc. And it's hard to sleep when coughing up a lung. I think 2 weeks is all that I'm legally obligated to suffer so I've made a dr. appointment but can't get in until Friday afternoon. I'm here at the other end of the house on the computer because the rest of the family is disgusted with my constant cough and said if I wake them up again tonight they will smother me with a pillow or two. So I'm drinking green tea, doing genealogy research and keeping up with the posts on DU.

Hope you're having a better time than I am.

15. got home from work about 15 minutes ago

[Denninmi]

16. The dog just woke me up.

It's gonna be a race in the next few years to see whose aging prostate causes more interrupted sleep, his or mine.

[pinboy3niner]

17. You're just a tourist

We Left-Coasters will outlast you by a mile.
