and… GO

(I don’t think this thing is going to fly.)
14 Oct 2008 Tue at 12:19 am
found it…and like your new header.
it only took me 19 minutes to seek this puppy out.
pannsz: Thanks! It’s a photograph of a piece by Scottish artist Andy Goldsworthy, who works exclusively with natural materials (no glue, nails, or anything like that) and creates ephemeral works that are best documented in photography and film. I mutilated this particular photograph by rotating it, cropping it, and stretching it to fit the dimensions of the header template.

i think that CSN(and sometimes Y) are one of the best bands of all time. i’m listening to them right now. here are my favorite songs by them in no particular order:
*ohio
*helpless
*carry on
*wooden ships
*southern cross
*long time gone
*almost cut my hair
*suite: judy blue eyes
*just a song before i go
(i’m the product of a woodstock-attending father…can you tell?)
14 Oct 2008 Tue at 12:30 am
and can you fix my grammatical error? it should be “CSN…IS one of…” thanks, pal.
as you can see, i really have no life and need to go organize some more closets.
14 Oct 2008 Tue at 5:08 am
No. I’m leaving it as is, to make you sound like an Anglophile. Stopped short of changing your spelling to “favourite.” I did, however, rearrange the list in length order. Hee hee.
Many years ago I found all 4 discs of their boxed set for 88¢ each, so I got the set (sans big box & big booklet) for $3.52! (Amazon is selling it new for $63.) Yay!!
14 Oct 2008 Tue at 5:18 am
CyWyGy, Why doesn’t your avatar show up any more in the comments?
14 Oct 2008 Tue at 7:46 am
I’m just here to see what the cool kids are up to.
14 Oct 2008 Tue at 12:20 pm
i’m bored. there’s no one to play with. i hate being home on vacation. bummer.
i’m trying to write an article for a kid’s magazine…but would rather eat jordan almonds and scrawl on panny’s wall.
14 Oct 2008 Tue at 12:30 pm
Want to try that etch-a-doodle thing? I remember you tried to do it with Dishy.
14 Oct 2008 Tue at 2:28 pm
sorry…i went to the grocery store. since i’m home today there’s no excuse for not cooking. i made chili. wanna play i-sketch tonight? i’ll be home after 9pm. it could be fun, or funny.
and WHERE is my aviator? it won’t show up.
pnnsz: I thought you didn’t like flying.
14 Oct 2008 Tue at 5:08 pm
Good news! I just found the website of the brilliant woman who made those wonderfully gruesome plushies that I had a secondary link to in my “because” post. Her name is Patricia Waller and she lives in Berlin. Patricia Waller.
14 Oct 2008 Tue at 10:14 pm
I can’t do the i-sketch thing tonight. My mouse doesn’t want to go “up” anymore. Replacement arriving tomorrow.
15 Oct 2008 Wed at 8:47 am
Did you know there was an awesome trio of rockers called “Scrawl” recording in the late 80s/early 90s? They were girl grunge even before regular grunge was cool. Just sayin’
15 Oct 2008 Wed at 9:55 am
No, I didn’t. But there was another band at the same time called “Caterwaul.” They weren’t all-girl, but of course had a female lead singer. Just replyin’
15 Oct 2008 Wed at 11:09 am
personally, i prefer lodi’s own: the misfits. they’re pretty fun. with tracks such as, “mommy, can i go out and kill tonight?” and “teenagers from mars”, how can you go wrong?
15 Oct 2008 Wed at 1:26 pm
The Misfits are one of John’s favorites.
And YAY! I found the wall.
Christy wuz here.
15 Oct 2008 Wed at 1:54 pm
CyWyGy: Well, I have to counter with my hometown’s The Cramps. “Look Ma, No Head,” “Goo Goo Muck,” and “Eyeball in My Martini.”
I know, it’s kind of a stacked deck because my hometown is NYC.
Dish-Dish: Great! I’m just waiting for Banksy to show up now.
15 Oct 2008 Wed at 7:59 pm
Christy + John 4EVRRRR

Wow. Didn’t take long for this page to deteriorate. I’ll share my all-time favorite bit of bathroom graffiti, from a college dorm:
Tom is smegma
Puerile yet poetic in its spareness.
Perhaps the poetic part of it will help the old S’Wall claw back to marginal respectability.
16 Oct 2008 Thu at 12:33 pm
panny,
i can only hope that you had a marginally good time last night playing i-sketch with me. i thought it was a hoot…but then again i’m easily amused.
xoxo
cywygy
16 Oct 2008 Thu at 12:42 pm
Of course I did, and I’m glad I apparently didn’t disappoint. Not sure how much I looove i-sketch though. It starts the next game too soon I think. And, as I said, it isn’t quite up to the same snuff as Illustrator and Photoshop, la, la, la.
16 Oct 2008 Thu at 2:43 pm
I tried playing iSketch before – but I couldn’t get it to work on my computer. Do either of you have a mac?
16 Oct 2008 Thu at 3:01 pm
mac is SMACK. i’ve got some hoopty ibm lap top that a friend ‘borrowed’ from his job. now it’s mine. :) to play i-sketch i have to commandeer ant’s computer…it’s all fancy and fast. but he never lets me use it. he’s mean like that.
16 Oct 2008 Thu at 4:35 pm
I have a macbook pro (family computer) and an imac (MINE). I just tried isketch again. Each time I try to download the necessary plug-in it tells me *there are no suitable plug-ins for my computer* Tough luck. Oh well..
16 Oct 2008 Thu at 6:37 pm
I live in an apple-less merry land.
17 Oct 2008 Fri at 12:59 pm
word.
18 Oct 2008 Sat at 10:32 am
could you post pictures of ernestine dressed up for halloween? (because i’m sure she’d just loooove that.) thanks.
your devoted reader,
cwg
18 Oct 2008 Sat at 10:35 am
OKAY. You are officially MIA. Has Carrie officially “taken over” your side of the mind???
18 Oct 2008 Sat at 10:35 am
Officially.
18 Oct 2008 Sat at 1:53 pm
I am here, but mostly being a bed slug.
19 Oct 2008 Sun at 11:13 am
git yerself outta bed, woman. wait until you see what i was working on all night. i’ll be posting it shortly over at my house. c’mon by and see.
buck up panny, we all love ya!
20 Oct 2008 Mon at 2:55 pm
Incidentally, “slugabed” is a real word, first appearing in Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet. (IV.v.2):
“Why Lambe, why Lady, fie you sluggabed.”
20 Oct 2008 Mon at 7:54 pm
wanna sing karaoke with me? c’mon…i’ll get you liquored up and it’ll be fun.
21 Oct 2008 Tue at 4:59 am
Killjoy Was Here
21 Oct 2008 Tue at 7:12 am
i think you meant WUZ…
21 Oct 2008 Tue at 7:12 am
and why, oh why are you up at 4:59 am?!?!? dear god…it’s a travesty.
21 Oct 2008 Tue at 9:53 am
I was born with no circadian rhythm.
22 Oct 2008 Wed at 12:59 am
don’t tell me you’re sleeping NOW. all the cool kids stay up late and sleep all day.
your circadas must be out of alignment (along with your chi).
pnnsz: Oh, I forgot to tell you, I’m not one of the cool kids.
22 Oct 2008 Wed at 10:14 pm
me neither…
23 Oct 2008 Thu at 8:15 am
BUT I AMMMMMMM!!!!!
Hey, how come Panny gets an invite to your Halloween party and I don’t?? Was it b/c of the begging?? I know it was a little heavy-handed.. but. BUT.
Guess this means I’M the NOT COOL ONE HUH??
HUH??!
23 Oct 2008 Thu at 10:17 am
I didn’t see any invite.
23 Oct 2008 Thu at 1:48 pm
I didn’t get an invite either. Make me an offer…
23 Oct 2008 Thu at 2:11 pm
*rubbing hands together sinisterly* just wait, my pretties….just wait. mwaa haaa haaa. i can’t WAIT to finish this little project.
23 Oct 2008 Thu at 2:14 pm
WELL. That at least makes me feel a little bit better. But she invited YOU (Panny) to sing w/ her. She’s never invited ME to SING. And I bet she sent both of you way more candy than she sent me too – and I had to share mine w/ 3 other people – THREE! Who kept complaining b/c I was eating all the “good ones” – Humph. BACK OFF MAN = I said, get yer own honkin internet friends and make them send you yer OWN candy. THAT QUIETED EM DOWN! NOW. Where was I..?
pnnsz: And here I thought the operative bit was getting me “liquored up” so that she could perpetrate who-knows-what nefarious schemes upon my poor person.
23 Oct 2008 Thu at 2:16 pm
Oh RIGHT, Yes I didn’t get one either.. I am going off to sulk in the corner now.
23 Oct 2008 Thu at 2:22 pm
My package had a sticker that said ROTTEN.
23 Oct 2008 Thu at 4:16 pm
FIRST!
23 Oct 2008 Thu at 4:17 pm
(day late)
my sticker said “poison” so when I offered The Mister some, he was all like “No way, that says it’s poison!”
So many more problems solved…
23 Oct 2008 Thu at 4:32 pm
My sticker said “BEWARE!” which sort of sums me up, I think.
23 Oct 2008 Thu at 8:03 pm
Mine said TOXIC. Sort of makes you wonder a little about Curly, huh…?
NOT THAT I LOOK A GIFT HORSE IN THE MOUTH. Or in this case, a bag of candy in the wrapper.
23 Oct 2008 Thu at 8:05 pm
PS: Pans: STEP AWAY from that liquor!
23 Oct 2008 Thu at 8:06 pm
PPS: Do you think she’ll send us the leftovers from her party (since none of us was invited)?
23 Oct 2008 Thu at 8:57 pm
I LOVE YOU CURLY!!!!!!!!
24 Oct 2008 Fri at 3:27 am
so sorry i couldn’t be here fooling around with the rest of you ninnies. SOME OF US are working on PROJECTS for the benefit of others.
mwaaa haa haa. except it’s not as funny as i thought it would be. bummer.
youtube, don’t fail me now!
24 Oct 2008 Fri at 3:30 am
en la noche, escribo en espanol. tambien, pongo dulces y helado en mi boca grande. mi asno es enorme.
24 Oct 2008 Fri at 3:31 am
es como una mesa.
24 Oct 2008 Fri at 10:15 am
luck (or unlucky) for you CWG, while I can’t speak/write spanish, I can read it.
hee hee, you said asno.
24 Oct 2008 Fri at 3:13 pm
But I don’t think the idiomatic meaning translates.
24 Oct 2008 Fri at 3:14 pm
I am so very ready to go home. Feeling a little tooth pain. Ibuprofen to the rescue. But somehow I think I could be doing more to dull the pain. But how? How?
24 Oct 2008 Fri at 3:35 pm
CANDY! CANDY! CANDY! (or a bunch of those drinks that come in triangular glasses with little olives on sticks…)
24 Oct 2008 Fri at 3:35 pm
don’t worry. i have to go back to work (finally!) next week and won’t have any time on my hands to make movies or stalk my blogging buddies.
25 Oct 2008 Sat at 11:35 am
We’ll miss you Curl!
PS: Pls send more candy.
28 Oct 2008 Tue at 1:06 pm
DO NOT SEND ANY MORE CANDY. I have TOO MUCH NOW. TOOOOO MUCH. Any more and I will need bigger pants.
28 Oct 2008 Tue at 8:23 pm

and variations of the above aren’t working. could you kindly let me in on the top-secret password?
all the best,
your little hacker
ps. i could have cracked this sucker…but i’ve been WORKING for the last two days. ugh.
28 Oct 2008 Tue at 9:23 pm
my guess is that the password is “killjoy” :)
28 Oct 2008 Tue at 9:39 pm
how could i have forgotten KILLJOY? damn. but it’s not that either. whatever can it be?
28 Oct 2008 Tue at 9:59 pm
LOL You must be really frustrated, CWG! Knowing pannonica, it could be anything. If I find out I’ll email you and let you know!
28 Oct 2008 Tue at 10:01 pm
Hm. One more guess: have you tried “secretsquirrel”?
29 Oct 2008 Wed at 8:03 am
yes, i tried that too because i saw it in the tag line. (told you i’m insane and slightly OCD)
29 Oct 2008 Wed at 11:06 am
Sigh…late again…I miss everything…the password I received by email did not work…
30 Oct 2008 Thu at 9:45 am
Something weird is going on. My comments aren’t showing up on other people’s blogs.
I tested on mine and the new comment popped right up. Elsewhere, even though I’m logged in to the WordPress galaxy, nothing happens. Not even a “Your Comment is Awaiting Moderation” message. If I try resubmitting the comment I do receive a message that says it looks like a duplicate comment.
waghhh!
30 Oct 2008 Thu at 11:13 am
oh stop it. we know you’re just laying in bed being a slug and IGNORING all of us.
30 Oct 2008 Thu at 3:31 pm
I haven’t been. But after today’s horrible events, I might.
30 Oct 2008 Thu at 4:53 pm
???
30 Oct 2008 Thu at 10:18 pm
Poor Pans. Man everyone is having a down day… EXCEPT THE PHILS!!!!!! WOOOHOOOOO!!!
PS: Hope you are both feeling better now.
PPS: Got your comment – glad to see that crzap is fixed now babe.
PPPS: Happy almost Halloween!! Loving the music Panny babe – GRACIAS!
30 Oct 2008 Thu at 11:57 pm
pannnnnnnny?!?
31 Oct 2008 Fri at 10:34 am
HAPPY HALLOWEEN PANNY BABE!!!!!
PS: Your comments are going screwy again — Tell them to lay off the candy.

01 Nov 2008 Sat at 12:47 am
i don’t think panny’s online…she was having a bad day on thursday and i don’t think things have improved. pannnnny, we miss you. hope you’re okay.
02 Nov 2008 Sun at 7:45 pm
I’m here.
03 Nov 2008 Mon at 9:58 am
that sounds convincing…
03 Nov 2008 Mon at 10:06 am
Trust me, CWG. That comment is a big improvement over last Friday!
03 Nov 2008 Mon at 8:52 pm
Has everyone on WordPress (who also loiters at the Scrall Wawl but (among U.S. citizens) doesn’t live in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, and Arizona (excepting the Navajo Rez)) manually reset their time settings to account for the end of Daylight Saving Time? Details to be found here.
04 Nov 2008 Tue at 7:54 pm
i live in guam.
05 Nov 2008 Wed at 8:55 pm
I just found this page, but I have nothing titillating or gossipy to say.
05 Nov 2008 Wed at 9:15 pm
It’ll still be here in case you do.
05 Nov 2008 Wed at 10:09 pm
Sorry I’m such a pain in the ass. Why is it I get along with you so much better online?
pnnsz: What are you talking about?
06 Nov 2008 Thu at 6:45 am
Well if you don’t think I’m a pain in the ass, then that’s probably why you hang out with me. Don’t worry about it.
pnnrpts: What are you talking about?
06 Nov 2008 Thu at 9:00 pm
i’m a PITA. seriously. that’s why i can’t ever meet you all in real life. then my not-so-secret-secret will be unveiled. then no one will visit my blog.
i’m supposed to be writing a book review. i have no credentials…and it’s harder than i thought it would be. waah. i still feel icky. *whine whine whine*
06 Nov 2008 Thu at 11:36 pm
Sounds altogether unpleasant. *comfort comfort comfort* I believe in your ability to write that book review. hint: the odds go up slightly if you can at least touch or hold the book, a teensy bit more if you’ve read some of it.
I don’t know about this PITA thing, but I’m pretty certain you aren’t flinging paint at fur coats.
07 Nov 2008 Fri at 1:57 pm
mwah ha ha @pita joke. my cracked and chapped lips broke into a painful grin at that one.
07 Nov 2008 Fri at 5:06 pm
I don’t really have much to say right now, but I was disturbed by seeing all six of the recent comments attributed to CyWyGy.
p.s. Going to archive this page when the comments reach 100; it’ll be replaced with a new one.
07 Nov 2008 Fri at 5:17 pm
do i scare you that much?
07 Nov 2008 Fri at 5:51 pm
No, it’s just that I’m painfully insecure and I don’t want people to think I have only one stalker.
07 Nov 2008 Fri at 7:01 pm
how many stalkers can one girl really manage?
07 Nov 2008 Fri at 7:31 pm
Can one ever truly know how many stalkers one has?
09 Nov 2008 Sun at 1:04 pm
People hardly ever click on the fun quasi-hidden stuff in my posts. *whiiiiiine*
09 Nov 2008 Sun at 7:50 pm
YAY!! I am #100.
