What's your birthday again? -Zahnnie 15:17, 16 May 2006 (EST)

Oh, oops. My birthday's June 22. I'll be old. I think 23. Oh shit. I'll be 23. How did I last this long?

Deciding not to cook for yourself more often that not would be my guess, o-queen-of-botulism. -Aurora 14:02, 17 May 2006 (EST)

So true. Then again, maybe my body has finally gotten used to the bombardments of varying strains of culinary delight. Zahnnie has told you about my "Restroom Destruction" stories at work, right? --Ubernerd 14:35, 17 May 2006 (EST)

I spared them the agony. :) -Zahnnie 15:23, 19 May 2006 (EST)

You should just post them on the wiki. -Aurora 17:38, 19 May 2006 (EST)

Oh man, Meghan, I just took a savage crap this afternoon at around lunch time. It smelled like old meat and had the consistency of crunchy peanut butter.--Ubernerd 14:02, 24 May 2006 (EST)

I've had the fiery squirts all day. They're like little tan nuggets. -Zahnnie 14:53, 24 May 2006 (EST)

You know what tops off my fearsome crap today? The fact that when I came out of the bathroom, I ran into one of my work friends, who started complaining about how he was constipated due to stress. TMI! TMI! Damnit, I used to think he wanted in my pants, and now I KNOW I've been relegated to "friend" status. The only people I discuss my fearsome craps with are you, Emme, my brother, and Tom. And that's because you all are used to it.--Ubernerd 15:08, 24 May 2006 (EST)

You know, I just had a thought. I should just make a Wiki page entitled My Fearsome Craps, where we can discuss all of our epic restroom distruction adventures.--Ubernerd 15:10, 24 May 2006 (EST)

Dude, pictures. (Of the bar.) -Zahnnie 13:26, 27 Jun 2006 (EST)

Forget pictures, my bar is being delivered to my apartment next weekend. I bought it from this nice old chinese guy at the Galleria who recently moved his store from Brookline to the third floor next to Filene's. It's an awesome store, you should go check it out some time. A lot of high quality merchandise is cheap there. Tom bought an entire cast iron tea set (teapot, 4 cups, and tea stand) there for less than half of what they ask for just the teapot alone at Teavana or any other fancy tea shop. And the guy gave him an extra 10% off because he liked us. The store is called Hosanyi --Ubernerd 15:09, 27 Jun 2006 (EST)

Dammit! Now I want one of those mattresses, too... Maybe Nybble and I should get together and buy it as a Christmas present to each other. -Aurora 13:58, 7 November 2006 (EST)

Hmm... okay, so one of the things I did after posting it was read the comments and customer feedback. Most people loved their new mattress. But there are like, 3 or 4 comments from people who absolutely HATED it and thought it was a bad purchase. Normally I am fine with items that get some positive reviews mixed in with some mediocre reviews, but the small number of SUPER negative reviews makes me slightly worried. Especially since they are from people who have owned the mattress for a longer period of time, and most of the positive reviews come from people who have had their mattresses for a short period of time. Ideally, I think I'd like to find someone who has owned one of these mattresses and ask them for an honest opinion before purchasing, just cuz I've read the reviews. But still, if this item is just mostly as good as advertising claims it to be, it's a killer deal at that price.--Ubernerd 15:04, 7 November 2006 (EST)

Yeah, I read through those, too. I kept hoping there'd be a positive review that wasn't just "this is great" or "it shipped so small and then poofed out" 'cuase those were teh dumbzors. The one about having had it for 9 months and it being just like normal foam was not promising. -Aurora 15:10, 7 November 2006 (EST)

It definitely looks sketchy. -Zahnnie 17:28, 7 November 2006 (EST)

I should note that Steph mentioned that this year was going to be another year of Butt/Face-related things, which is pretty awesome in and of itself, but would mean that I would have to rename my apartment "The International House of Asscakes" in order to accomodate all the fun ass-related goodies that seem to flow into my place around the Yule. Heh heh. Yule log. --Ubernerd 10:22, 8 December 2006 (EST)

What style lamps? -Zahnnie 10:59, 8 December 2006 (EST)

Table lamps are never a bad thing, but I think at this point, floor lamps would probably suit the place a little better. Do you remember those AZN lamps that you guys were awesome and bought me as a housewarming present the first time I moved out of Ben and Jen's? They have floor lamps that match that style (wood with paper screens - we've already established that Tom is more of a menace to these lamps than Blackberry is, since he's the one who ended up with one on his head first), and they even have some nice carved ones that look like pagodas (even more AZN). Either way, that was more the style I was looking for. But, y'know, I won't really look a gift-lamp in the mouth - my poor stubbed toes and bruised knees will thank you heartily for any extra illumination such that I stop crashing into things in the dark. Hosanyi, that AZN home decorating store at the Galleria has a small selection, and I think they always have some kind of a sale going on. --Ubernerd 11:12, 8 December 2006 (EST)

Jesus Crapsticks! When did lamps become so expensive? I was looking for a link to something that would match and was relatively chepp, and all I can say is wtf?! Maybe I should just go to BBB and get a cheap ass halogen lamp and hope I don't knock it over when I get all drunk and start stumbling around the bar. Ah well. Nevermind the lamp thing then. I wouldn't ask anyone to buy me something that I would complain about purchasing myself. --Ubernerd 11:22, 8 December 2006 (EST)

What the ass?! You're allergic to silver? -Zahnnie 09:32, 14 March 2008 (EST)

Yeah... I use to think that it was just low-quality Sterling Silver, which has a significant amount of Ni (remember the time that my earring corroded in my ear? That was Sterling Silver). But I have one or two higher quality Sterling Silver pendants that I have worn for extended periods of time that caused my skin to have a mild reaction, at least around my neck and cleavage area. Silver rings seem to be fine, thin bracelets are usually okay, and if something has a small number of silver beads or clasps or things it seems to be okay, though. So maybe it's large concentrated amounts of silver in one area (no giant homey sundial medallion bling for me). Yeah... sad, I know. It makes getting jewelry really hard :-/ --Ubernerd 11:35, 14 March 2008 (EST)

Poopy! I hope the clasp on the necklace I made for you doesn't irritate the back of your neck... -Zahnnie 11:49, 14 March 2008 (EST)

Liquor fairy--want to put up a pick of Nyb with his "cough syrup" (amaretto and peach schnapps) junk? ... lol, junk. - Aurora 12:36, 14 March 2008 (EST)

So, re: silver allergy {and, for the record, dude that sucks the ass-ba! I mean, pretty much everyone is allergic to nickel, or will accumulate it eventually, but silver?!? That just blows; platinum is too expensive and surgical steel just isn't as pretty.}, you could always sin against the purity of the silver bling medallion or clasp by periodically coating the bits that touch your skin (especially in the sweaty regions of neck and breast where you seem to have the worst reactions) with an acrylic clear coat. No glove, no love! --Caryatid 10:59, 19 March 2008 (EST)

Dude, I should totally bring you your pan! -Zahnnie 11:47, 27 January 2009 (EST)
