- you are rather tall.

- you should.

- consumerism is the answer to all problems in life

[goddess32585]

you know that is so not true! (consumerism, not being tall.)
hrmph, i thought grad students were supposed to be broke and starving :P

[davidglasser]

would i lie?

[goddess32585]

dave glasser = full of lies, 100% trufax

what happened to the big rainbow flag you had at Roast?

[goddess32585]

i left it in the basement saturday night (taped over the TV room door for the burlesque dancers changing inside) and when i cam back a few days later it had been Cleaned Up. presumably if i am lucky i can filch another one from the Haus stock of such things, but it will be difficult to be around at the right time.

[iridium]

*nod* good luck. you could make yourself one, too.

I'm tempted to suggest, wait until August, and if running around the playa telling people you need a rainbow flag fails to produce, buy. Why the sudden desire for a phone?

[goddess32585]

that is a really good idea. maybe i will try it this weekend also.

[goddess32585]

um, phone. it suddenly seems useful for reasons of 'i'm at the store, tell me things' or 'i'm walking home, things were delayed, don't wait dinner for me.' -> i have a house of people who sometimes wonder where i am, and communicate in realtime via phone, and it suddenly seems more useful. also useful for getting included in last-minute crazy plans, though this is less likely, given that i don't have neat things like a car.

[conana]

Yeah. I should have made my parents leave you the phone. Trial period. Oops.

This image of a six-foot shotglass is really a terrible idea to be giving me. Why do you do these things?

[madcaptenor]

I always say that I like other people having cell phones much more than I like having a cell phone myself. It's good that I can always reach them, but I don't want to be reachable.

[goddess32585]

i'm not sure that's irrational. paying a lot for stuff that doesn't work well is obnoxious. in my case, the most consistently convincing reason i have for not getting one is that cell phone payment plans are complicated and carefully designed to maximize ripping off the customer. i see no reason to do business with those sorts of jerks.

[madcaptenor]

where does one acquire a six-foot-tall drinking vessel for the G&T taller than yourself?

[goddess32585]

it was kindof a figure of speech. mostly in the middle, when it seemed like no matter how many sips i took, the liquid level didn't seem to be dropping! it was v. distressing. i imagine one could hook up two of those beer-tower things, i think they're 3' tall, and have a blast with that. alternatively, ask the right frat boy, and i bet you'll get a good answer.

[annag]

maybe an extra-long pipette, if such things exist?
