Well, I got booted off earlier, and never really got to finish my drink. I am at my friends house right now. (THATS HOW ADDICTED I AM, IGNORE MY FRIEND TO DO EXACTLY WHAT I COULD BE DOING AT HOME). Well I will be heading home soon I believe, and probably will be getting another drink. I think it is going to be a long night tonight again. Maybe I will call Natasha, but I am not sure if it is too late to call there. Slade will be coming on aswell I believe, I am going to make him come into the cafe and order a drink, I think that would suit him well. Oh well, off to the show... err on with the show that is. Damn I am tired.

So it's now three in the morning... maybe the British people will start waking up... I refuse to go to sleep and I don't know why... there's no one online... I'm bored... I don't believe in TV... So I'm stuck with bad jazz (actually it's really quite good) and staring at the screen which has begun to give me a headache. And there are no good beverages kosher for passover. And you're all gonna hate me for clogging up this forum but I have naught else to do but twiddle me thumbs in time with the rhythm, such as it is.
IIEM, I guess I'll have an anticoffee. I gotta chill.

Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence Posted Apr 23, 2000
Good heavens! I went to bed about 1:30 am -- and then my dog woke me up at about 4:30, howling quietly with distress because ...
IIEM, I wish I could afford an Asteroid Lil special.
*IIEM turns out AL special and a ten pound note*
That's what I get for using British spellings. Oh well, I'll keep it for the nephew's birthday.
Better give me some lettuce for Mindspring.
*Mindspring is awake and looking comparatively perky for a sloth. It accepts the lettuce sluggishly and munches, slomo.
So, about Gretta, my dobermann. She has her own dog door, which has aplastic flap held down by magnets. Sometimes this door doesn't close right because of the way she goes through it. When the door is not hanging straight, Gretta becomes fearful of it and is reluctant to come back in. She cries and moans and walks to all the doors and peers in, or just stands in front of the dog door and looks miserable.
Last night my dreams were of h2g2 and Garius turned into a wolf at my studio ... and then I realised that the howling I heard was real. Gretta was trapped by neurosis out on the patio and was beginning to express real misery.
And that's my story.

I love the Weekly World News... my RL email account is through them. And I get to read it every week. Not even the post can live up to the tabloids.
I think I need a House Blend with a LOT of extra caffeine. And some headache medicine. And some energy. Got that, IIEM?

*a blue bolt of electricity shoots outthe top of the IIEM, accidentally catching Mindspring's cage as it arcs toward Ioreth, who is then suffused in a blue glow of energy for several seconds*
*Mindspring leaps up and begins to tap dance*
Irv is definitely going to have to clean the filters after that.

*Mindspring sits down and nibbles at an apple spice donut, then lies down for a nap*
Me, I'll have another AL please, and the Sunday paper.

CAFETERIA???
This is a coffee house what also serves doughnuts. The prorietor, Irv, puts the espresso machine on autopilot when he's away. It is an Infinite Improbability Espresso Machine, which means it operates by wishful thinking, basically.
You look like you could do with some coffee, my friend.
I see I simulposted with DD a bit earlier and never even saw him. Sorry old fellow. I generally hit the post message button and then wait only long enough to see the thread start to reload before I'm looking at another thread. It used to be a novelty to see my words come up on the screen, but I've got sort of habituated now.
*gentle snoring from Mindspring*

Sorry, man, no alcohol, but after all, where I am it's still before lunchtime and on Easter sunday, no less! Honestly I've got no liquor license, though if you'll check my page I believe you'll find directions to the Forum & Firkin, which does. So long as you're here, my good man... I'm going to have to re-direct you! Yes, I'm afraid that the activity last night has required a forum shift, so if you'll all follow me (especially *YOU* Bluebottle, these cups are filthy!) we'll be on our way:
