Met ever-so-briefly with constance1010 and tarpo yesterday at skyline chili. We got to jibber-jabber a little bit over din-din. Maybe next time we can play some scrabble or start a bar fight.

I was worried that the Cuba Libre question was going to slap me with Hemingway.

People who write pretend fanfic Harry Potter stories angry at the actual author. via Mikester Possible spoilers.

I wonder how long it'll be before folks start singling out the really loony HP fans like the really loony Trek fans (or over-excitable gamers, etc)? Will that mean they've finally "made it"?

AOL is offering a free 2 gigabyte email account for AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) members.

Your AIM Mail address is youraimname@aim.com. According to AOL, with AIM Mail you “only have to log in once to access both your AIM Mail and your IM,” you can “respond to an IM with either an email or an IM,” “unsend an email sent to an AOL or IM address” and most interestingly, AIM Mail can be accessed via IMAP! That’s a first for webmail access as far as I know.

The drawbacks of AIM mail - the interface doesn’t hold a candle to Gmail and it’s plastered with flashing graphical ads. I haven’t accumulated enough mail yet to test out search, yet, but it’s a safe bet that AOL’s spam filters are very mature at this point.

Moment of lyric:(mp3 (about 5 meg) or a groovy quicktime video (about 10 meg) - via tallyhall)


do you see banana man
hopping over on de white hot sand
here he come with some for me
freshly taken from banana tree

banana man me want a ton
gimme double and a bonus one
gimme more for all me friends
dis banana flow will never end

CHORUS
do you want a banana? (do you want a banana?)
peel it down and go
mmm mmm mmm mmm
do you want a banana? (do you want a banana?)
dis banana for you

tonight we dance around de flame
then we get to play de spirit game
spirit names we shout out loud
shake de thunder from de spirit cloud

all de songbirds in de tree
chant a tune to let de spirits free
then we see them in de night
spirits jumping by de firelight

CHORUS

look you
you too uptight, you know
you could laugh and kick it back and go (wheee)
but without a rhythm or a rhyme
you do not banana all de time
fly away from city on de run
try to make a little fun

look you
come to de bungalow
african't you tell me told you so
don't you love de bumping of de drum
make you shake until de bum go numb
let de bongo play you till you drop
dis banana never stop

forget all your troubles and go with the flow
forget about whatever you may never know
like whether whatever you doing is whatever you should
and whether anything you do is ever anything good
and then forget about banana when it stick in your throat
and when it make you wanna bellow but you stuck in a choke
and then forget about the yellow from the colorful man
who make you take another one and make a mock of your plan

bungalay
bungalow
make up your mind
and tell me no

well it's nine o'clock
and it's getting dark
and the sun is falling from the sky
i've never left so early
and you may wonder why

tomorrow morning on de plane
no banana make you go insane
floating back to busy town
no banana make you want to frown

Do you have to be an aol member to get the aim email address? Becuase I have an aim name but I don't actually have aol.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

nope... just an aim name is all it takes!

[succ33d.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.

[succ33d.livejournal.com]

I didn't try yet.

It was a pleasure to finally meet you in person.:) We will definitely have to do it again sometime.

I do apologize for that back seat... I have lived out of my car for so long... and Sharon is usually the only occupant. :)

Thanks for meeting up. :)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

No worries about the back seat! I fit just fine.

my pleasure to meet again sometime before you guys head north!
