Serotonin rose dramatically today: the new happy thread

[coldforge]

If any of us make toasts at your wedding, we will only refer to as 'Pollo', or, more formally, 'elpollodiablo'. This is a thing that cannot be broken.

[El_Josharino]

Also congrats to plainenglish.

I can pick up Chicago and Milwaukee dudes on the way to Miles' thing.

Or "devil chicken" if we're feeling sassy, which I almost certainly will.

[milesofsparks]

everyone keeps saying "Miles' thing" and I keep thinking I have a thing coming up.  But I don't have anything, except Pollo's thing, to which I very much look forward.   if I make the cut and all.

also, I don't know why, but I call you polo in my head instead of pollo.  so I may call you polo inadvertantly.  I apologize in advance.

[Greg Nog]

I used to call him "polo" phonetically, even though it appeared as "pollo" visually in my mind.  I chalk it up to never having taken Spanish.

Or you could have a thing and then we could talk about it. It could be any old thing.

I want to come to the wedding!  I have another really close friend getting married down in Georgia next November, and my friend Ashly is having a baby in April.  WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?

consumation and procreation.  the usual.

[hannah]

Dude, Polo-Pollo Miles, instead of welcoming guests with a receiving line, you should put them in front of a wall.

[hannah]

And there is happiness here because oh yeah, as I've mentioned, today is our anniversary, although festivities are on put on hold until papers and graduate school applications are finished. He is, however, cooking me dinner. And pie!

[El_Josharino]

I'm also happy because wireless internet allows me to watch Journey videos while I'm in the bathroom. What a utopia we live in!

[jebreject]

Did I tell you guys that most of what I was upset about the other day was due to a miscommunication? So I'm still annoyed by a lot of things, but that's a small victory anyway

[Maaik]

My internet (i.e. my neighbor's internet) came back!  Whee!

[Good Intentions]

It's not that I had the foggiest idea what was upsetting you, and either I missed something simple again, or you were brooding some problem under your hat without anybody's help.

[aftm]

I've been thinking about this for a while; would it be totally inappropriate to bring a laptop or psp or something to a place you're looking to rent to see if the neighbours have unsecured wireless? Cause that's, like a big selling point.

And, to try to make this relevant, I'M HAPPY!

[FreddyKnuckles]

Haha, yeah I used my neighbor's wireless for the first month I lived here, but it got too annoying.  Constantly going down or moving incredibly slowly because everybody and their brother stole from them.  If you have wireless and you don't secure it, though, you deserve everything you get

It was in the annoyed thread. I was having problems with the human resources department at work re: benefits and paid time off, and it was a huge clusterfuck and made me really upset, but the part that made me the most upset wasn't actually the case--the HR lady thought I was asking about healthcare benefits, which don't start until after 180 days, when I was asking about PTO, which starts after 90. Basically I felt like I'd been getting the run-around wrt this question (and really I have been) but finally I have some answers and actually understand how this stuff is supposed to work. Well, more or less.

[auto-da-fey]

Ah, I thought it was the Vincent Gallo shit. I stayed out of that, but as much as I loathe the man himself, I really do like both of his films, quite a bit. But glad you resolved that one, Jeb.

[elpollodiablo]

WTF whit you lose at life

[diesel_powered]

Well... Jeb is kind of our answer to Vincent Gallo...









.... On the dancefloor.

[auto-da-fey]

WTF whit you lose at life

I know. I didn't want to like them; I only watched Brown Bunny for the BJ, then after it caught me off guard I went back to Buffalo 66, which I'd successfully avoided for the better part of a decade, only to find I really liked it, too (though with some caveats--that dinner scene was painfully bad). It does sort of seem like Gallo has this Conor-Oberst-like effect whereby people who normally insist on separating the artist from the art make an exception because they just hate him that much. I can understand that, to an extent: he really is a pigfucker. But shit, I even liked his transgendered performance as a nun in Freeway II: Confessions of a Trickbaby, so what can I say?

[elpollodiablo]

No I mean I didn't know he was a piece of shit until much later. I realized that Buffalo 66 was inconsequential tripe independently of finding out what a fucking douche he is.

[elpollodiablo]

Sorry. I just hate that film with the white hot passion of a million suns and it's intensified because it's supposedly this hallmark of independent cinema.

[diesel_powered]

Know what came in the UPS today?



Oh. Yes.
