The Lounge ? I hope that is accurate....Can I order a drink ?
I need a slower pace today and some meaningless witty banter.... Or maybe I just need a place to hang for a bit and watch the posts go by...... The politics in the other forums have reached a fever pitch. On a normal day that would not be an issue. But today I just need a break from it all... anyone else ever have the same feelings ?

Just asking...

2. It is elections like this
that make me reconsider why I am not a monarchist.

Anyway, watch a silly movie, such as "Airplane" or "Office Space" and have some "me" time. Last night, I watched "Back to School" with Rodney Dangerfield. I just needed a dose of silliness:)

Take Care!

Edited on Thu Oct-28-04 05:55 PM by MazeRat7
Hope they are more positive than mine... if not. I'm sorry. But in the mean time...

I did get to see Bela Fleck and the Flecktones last night under the eclipse at Stubbs here in Austin. Talk about a most excellent show !!! WOW

15. You mean an actual evening out which did no include taking notes
on where to meet, how many signs, yada, yada. Those are but a fond memory for me right now. Did they have actual drinks and food brought to you by a person you give money to? God I miss that.

18. Well close...but not exactly...
Edited on Thu Oct-28-04 06:10 PM by MazeRat7
No there were no notes, phone lists, or signs to worry about. But this is Texas and I was at "Stubbs" ( see http://www.stubbsaustin.com ) , so it was more like get your own drinks and stand under the stars (with the eclipse happening) while listening to some totally excellent players. All in all yes... it was a great night out.

20. You got to go outside and not trudge from one house to the next
discussing why they should vote for Kerry, and why Chimpy is a lying piece of Sh@!. Now I'm even more jealous. Soon I will have have a life again.
