Speaking of which, I just had a ten minute phone conversation about an apartment excusively in German, and I think I understood pretty much everything, and I think they understood pretty much everything.... amazing!
I guess it's true what they say about not being able to really get a language until you have no other choice to but to sink or swim.
my brain is exhausted now though.

Hey, I love Tofu. A tofu stroganoff would be great.
It's just that when I think "romance," I don't think of tofu. I might be willing to do tofu for another vegetarian as a romantic meal, but not for an omnivore, certainly.
What I do love about being a vegetarian is that all desserts are vegetarian. Being vegetarian has nothing to do with healthy eating.

I changed some of my intro information. More to bump this thread as a desperate cry of attention than to really accomplish anything worthwhile.

I discovered Trance[]Control quite by accident. I went to Amoeba Music on Haight St. in San Francisco and spent $47 on trance. $40 of those sucked. The other $7 was the Trance[]Control "Beyond 2001" CD. And that remains one of my favorite CD's of all time.

I miss Napster. The iTunes music store is nice, but if your music is very off-mainstream, like most trance, then it's not going to be there. The RIAA with all their lawsuits did themselves another favor: they made it very difficult for anyone to get music that isn't marketed under an RIAA label.

ya i majorly miss napster. the way i would get some of my best stuff is that i would be looking for one specific song or artist, and then once i found someone with it, i'd look at their file list and start picking songs off that. most the time i got great stuff that way. you know i'd gladly pay a small fee every month if i could go back to doing that on napster.

Yeah, especially because a lot of the music I want ISN'T for sale. ANYWHERE. So the only way to get it is to download it by swapping it.

Oh! Wow! Someone found my thread and bumped it! I thought it was doomed to reside in the 9th level of the thread!
Wow, it's dusty in here.
*blows on a table, which kicks up a huge cloud of dust and breaks into a fit of coughing*
Sorry. *clearing throat*
Well, *to Puk*, it seems that I'm going to be doing some spring cleaning.
*wanders off to find a dust mask, portable air filter, and feather duster*

Mike...i gots a question for you..
What is the difference between an anal temperature reading and an oral one...well..obviously they go in different holes, but what i meant is why not just have one?
Thats has always confused me...

and for that matter why not use the core nasal temperature?

Anal temperatures are more accurate than oral temperatures...because there's only a small spot under the tongue that's actually at core temperature. So it's good for little kids, adults with dementia, and for temperatures that you don't quite believe (like 108F/46C).
And for silly fornicating carrots...
