andy warhol is alive and he drives a turbo sprint! either that or the guy who was driving one this morning just looked a hell of a lot like him.
i hate my job. there’s a boy i want to jump, but can’t right now. i think i need new glasses. or a vacation from computers. or both. i’ve been playng tomb raider again. i started reading atlas shrugged, but may put it down to finish off the wot series. i can’t wait for the last week of september when i won’t have to be here for ten days in a row. i want to tweak the layout, but i’m not sure how exactly. i need more coffee. and a haircut. maybe i’ll dye it. i have leftover spaghetti with lentil sauce for lunch. it’s better than it sounds. really. i need to wash my car, it looks like it has some sort of skin condition. i also need to find cricket gifts, birthday gifts and money for new shoes. all in the next two days. ugh. and cancel some credit cards. no one single person needs five credit cards.
how is it that i’m the only fucking person who seems to know what the phrase “how’s tricks?” means? i don’t even know where i picked it up, but i’m getting annoyed with conversations which go something like:
me: “how’s tricks?”
them: “tricks?”
me: “yeah, tricks. things, stuff. how are you? what are you doing? how are things?”
them: “ohhh! okay.”
Hessie, I have had that same experience. I used to ask “how’s tricks” all the time, and no one knew what I was talking about.
Once I explained to a girl I worked with what it meant (ie: prostitution tricks but its not meant to be derrogatory – it means obviously how’re things) and she was incredibly offended. Oh well. Not the first time I’ve offended others. Its a gift!
People don’t know what that means? Good heavens, sometimes I feel like Mr. Burns. “Fetch me my raccoon coat!”
the next wot book is coming out in jan…they post poned it…those bastards ;)
i’m gonna have to start using how’s tricks…never heard it before today
postponed?!? wretched series. never — never!!!! — start a series like this until it’s finished.
grr…
