1. Hey hey!

:hi:

[Heidi]

2. Hiya, p1!

:pals: How are you and your most excellent hair this evening? :hug:

[ghostsofgiants]

7. We're quite well...

Watching animated short films by The Brothers Quay (I started a thread, but it may be a little too obscure, I think). Really creepy, bizarre, yet beautiful animation.

[Heidi]

21. I love your digital art, by the way.

But it seems you always post it during Call Me Wesley's DU time, so I miss most of it. :cry:

[ghostsofgiants]

29. Why thank you :)

I'm working on a series of photomontages (explained here).

It's tricky, but fun. That's one of the reasons I'm watchign these films actually, trying to get inspiration for some good, weird surreal stuff.

[Heidi]

31. I loved this one:

Call Me Wesley showed me this one the other day. Is the man William S. Burroughs????????? :loveya:

[ghostsofgiants]

35. That's the only photomontage I've done so far (00:01 - The Entrance)

The man is actually just some random stock photo I used.

But I'm working on the second installment now. In the "trying to come up with ideas" stage, haha.

[Heidi]

39. Well check out that man's resemblance to

William S. Burroughs:

[ghostsofgiants]

46. Almost uncanny...

That's pretty cool!

[Heidi]

47. Have you read any Burroughs?

I highly recommend The William S. Burroughs Reader. Burroughs was a a genius, in my view. :thumbsup:

[ghostsofgiants]

49. Nope...

But The Naked Lunch was a great film. I image the book is also spectacular. And I saw the Thanksgiving Prayer thing he did with Gus Van Sant, which was great as well.

[Heidi]

50. Enjoy this:

This site includes links to excerpts from Burroughs' novels, as well as images of him and some of his art. :thumbsup:

[ghostsofgiants]

52. Thanks!

Always glad to broaden my horizons.

[Heidi]

53. And you'll be able to

impress our mutual friend and DUer, swag, with your new and vast knowledge of WSB. :) swag's a big WSB fan, too, I think!

I'll look around and see if I can find you a link to the WSB poetry generator. It's wild. :thumbsup:

[ghostsofgiants]

55. Well he DOES have Burroughs in his avatar, haha

:)

[Heidi]

56. The Cut-Up Machine

and other fun stuff:

[ghostsofgiants]

57. Cool, thanks!

Should be fun to play around with.

[AVulgarianHue]

61. A friend gave me this t-shirt..

her artwork. :hi:

[Heidi]

62. That's awsome, AVH!

Hiya, gf! :hug: :loveya:

[AVulgarianHue]

66. Hey, sweetheart

Just swooping in for a minute or two before pulling off the snow boots.
Have a marvelous day!:hug:

[Heidi]

67. You have yourself some sweet dreams, gf,

and a beautiful Sunday, too. :hug: :loveya:

[ghostsofgiants]

64. That's a really neat use of typography

:hi:

[WCGreen]

3. Damn... I wanted to be first...

Having a little problem with the old llungs tonight.. a little bit congested... But, I think I can at least make a token appearance..

[Heidi]

5. Good vibes to you, Mr. Green.

What can you do about the congestion? :pals:

[WCGreen]

10. Some oils Joani gave me... Med's... and relaxation...

[Heidi]

20. I'm sending you

some good vibes to go with all the other get-healthy fixins. :hug:

[Wapsie B]

4. Hello again Heidi!

:hi::hi::hi::hi::hi::hi:

Too bad you don't live near the Twin Cities. Would've loved to see you at the meetup tonight.

[Heidi]

6. Did you go to the Twin Cities meetup?

How was it? Who was there? Photos!!! :hug: :loveya:

[Wapsie B]

9. Yes I did.

It was very good! It's a nice Irish Pub. Good food, good friends good conversation.


:hug: :loveya:

[Heidi]

13. Hey, I saw a familiar face!

:hug:

:bounce:
:thumbsup:

[Wapsie B]

16. *sigh*

Yes that's little 'ol me. :)

[Heidi]

18. Little old you

is a handsome man. :thumbsup:

[Wapsie B]

22. Thank you Heidi.

You really have a way of building up my ego. Thanks.


Now to find available women who feel the same way. :)

[Heidi]

23. Aren't there ever

any single women at the meet ups? I mean, I fear that Iowa (and at least one neighboring state) is a little short of single, progressive folks, but _surely_ there's a resource _somewhere_. :hug: :loveya:

[Wapsie B]

24. That's the thing.

St. Paul seems to be full of a number of cute women. But then coming back home the pickings just seem to be real sparce. I really need to live near a larger area like the Cities. :hug: :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

84. Hey, you hansom dude!

:yourock: Great Picture!
BTW ~ You should replace your yahoo avatar with it.:thumbsup:

[Floogeldy]

8. Jello!!

[Heidi]

11. There you are!

:hug: Jello, my friend. :*

[Floogeldy]

26. I seriously just ate 3/4 of a frozen pizza.

Feeling a little content, right now.

Happy Sunday, Heidi. :)

XOXOXOXOXOXO

[Heidi]

28. So now that your tummy's full,

you're just going to ditch your Saturday night / Sunday morning date and go to bed? Be that way. :cry:

[Floogeldy]

34. Aw, Sugar . . .

. . . You know you're the most important thing to me in this world, next to pizza and sleep.

:silly:

[Heidi]

40. OK, I'm butter now.

Go to sleep, ya big galoot. :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

59. He calls you sugar, you say you're butter

All we need now is bread, and we can all have toast. :bounce:

[Heidi]

63. Well, that'd sure work.

Floog's always up for a snack, seems like. :thumbsup:

[Oeditpus Rex]

[Floogeldy]

87. I was thinking about . . .

[NMMNG]

12. Hello Heidi (and Nighthawks)!

[Heidi]

14. MEOW!!!!!!!!!!!

My cat just fell in love with you, Buffy. :hug: :loveya:

Are you at your weekend job now? :yourock:

[NMMNG]

15. I love your cat back

And yes, I'm at my weekend job. The only good thing about this one is that I don't have to do rounds in a dangerous neighborhood on a bitter cold night. Otherwise, the weekday one is much better for a multitude of reasons.

[texanwitch]

17. Hi Heidi

Just got though watching Return of the King, for about the 1,000,000 time, every time I turn on the tv, there it is.

Used to be Fight Club a few years ago, just couldn't escape that movie.

[Heidi]

19. Arrrrrrrrrrrgh!

For a while here, they were showing "Shaft" on TV about 3 brazilian times an evening. Have you ever seen it? There's this one scene where Shaft is talking to his girlfriend on the phone, and the girlfriend says to him, "I love you, baby." And Shaft says, "I know. Take it easy." That became sort of an inside joke with Call Me Wesley and me. Call Me Wesley will say, "I love you, baby," and I'll go, "I know. Take it easy." :rofl:

[texanwitch]

27. I haven't seen Shaft for a long time.

I can hear the theme song to movie in my head right now.

The thing about Fight Club was I didn't even like the movie at first, it just grew on me. Brad Pitt was nice to look at.

[aquaman]

25. Hey Heidi....

Hope all is well. We have been putting up the Christmas tree and all this evening, fun it was. I raked pine straw for five hours today also, need some??

[Heidi]

30. We have an abundance of a variety of straws,

thank you! But it would have been great if you'd been here yesterday to help Call Me . . . Mr. Heidi put up the Christmas lights. What a fiasco _that_ always is. :rofl:

[aquaman]

32. I always think of the movie "christmas vacation" when we decorate

I specifically went to the store today to buy a monstrous tacky Christmas decoration. However, they were so tacky that I did not get anything crazy. Just stuck with what we had mostly.

[Heidi]

45. Do you have those tacky

"Santa Claus climbing the side of the house" decorations in the US? They're very popular here. :scared:

[texanwitch]

33. I always start to use bad words when I put up the lights.

This year I am going to have to take down the tin from the upper windows from Hurricane Rita first, just keeping away more hurricanes. It worked to.

[aquaman]

37. Hey Texanwitch....

Hope you are well this evening. :toast:

[texanwitch]

38. Ok, just spent the evening cleaning up the back room where all the junk

had been going. Thrilling evening.

[Heidi]

44. aquaman!

:hug: :loveya:

[Heidi]

42. You need to move to a "foreign" country

where nobody understands you when you swear! Hey, it worked for me! :rofl:

[texanwitch]

48. I have been trying to cut back on the curse words, but if I get angry

watch out.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. My dear Heidi!

I can put in a brief appearance....my house guests have arrived, but now they are off to bed....

How's it going today for you?

:loveya:

[Heidi]

41. Heya, Peggy!

I'm good. My friend and colleague Davide is coming over today. Big fun! :bounce:

How long are your guests staying? Good luck! :thumbsup:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. No idea, just yet!

But they are waaaay cool people....so it really doesn't matter too much!

Time will tell, I guess......:shrug: :hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

58. Hi Peggy!

How's the most delightful person in California doing tonight?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

65. My dear primate1......wow, such a sweet talker!

I appreciate your words a lot, my dear!

I am fine, thank you....just tired...I'm about to sign off and get myself to bed.....

Hope all is well with you, my dear......

[Robeson]

51. Hey Heidi!.....

...where have you been tonight! Have you been hiding out on your dial-up threads....;-)

[Heidi]

54. Has anyone ever told you

that, in the photo you posted in the photo thread, you look a lot like a young Tim Robbins? *swoon*

[Robeson]

60. No, nobody has.....

...but that's a great compliment!!! Thanks! :hug:

[PittPoliSci]

69. hello

just got home from work, 3:10 am East coast. did some inventory tonight. thank god I've only got one week left at that place.

how're you doing this evening/morning?

[Heidi]

70. Hiya, PittPoliSci!

Are you moving on to a new job? :thumbsup:

It's a clear (but cold) Sunday morning here on the border. :scared:

[PittPoliSci]

72. mild evening here in Western PA.

strangely warm, considering it was about 15 yesterday.

i'm moving on to be a furniture mover. I'm working for my friend's dad's company, so it won't be so bad. Plus I'm away from the general public, which has been mounting an offensive on my nerves lately.

[jane_pippin]

71. Hey. Welcome to my first nighthawks thread, in which I'm drunk

drunk-diddly-unk, in fact, and just got home from the bowling alley. Because why?
Because that's how it's done in Milwaukee.


Apparently.


Apparently 5 jack and cokes and a bowling alley will get me all drunk and giddy.

Who knew?


Anyhoo, hope you all have a good night. I'm going to pass out now. Or sleep. Whichever happens first.

See you when I'm hungover.

:hi:

[Heidi]

73. Sweet dreams, jane_pippin.

Thanks for stumblin' by! :hug:

[jane_pippin]

75. Ha ha! Hi Heidi...it's not that bad.

Thanks.
:hug:

[texanwitch]

74. Heidi, I received my neighbor's Frederick's of Hollywood catalog

by mistake today. I had no idea she would receive something like this, she can't wear it. She must have a secret life I don't know about.

[Heidi]

76. Oh, my goodness!

Is she married? Maybe it's her husband's. :rofl:

[texanwitch]

77. She is not married.

Now I need to put the catalog in her mailbox tonight or tomorrow night, I have never seen a Fredericks catalog before.

Every model looks a least 6 ft tall and maybe 110 lbs, these are not normal looking women.

[enigmatic]

78. Hey Heidi!

:hug:

I just got back from the hotel 30 minutes ago, and I'm officially dead on my feet. I am drinking a beer w/more in the fridge, so that's a plus:)

How's Wesley and Ginger?

[Heidi]

79. enigmatic, dah-link!

I've missed you, but I'm glad you're in post-work recovery mode. :hug:

All is OK here. Call Me Wesley put up the Christmas lights yesterday, and Ginger helped. :rofl:

[enigmatic]

80. ha!

at least Ginger helps; our kitty just looks at us while we're doing stuff and drops a hairball on my shoes if we aren't working up to her specifications!:)

[texanwitch]

81. I had a cat who could take down the lights on the tree faster then I could

put them up. She also like to climb the tree, she was a big help to.

[Heidi]

82. Ha!

We don't do a big tree, because Ginger's a climber, too. :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

83. OMG! I slept right on through this gathering. Damn! Good Morning!

[Call Me Wesley]

85. Good morning, Joan!

Call me Wesley here from the Dayhawks. :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

86. Thank heavens for you, Call Me Wesley.

I can't stay up night and day like some DUers.
It's wrecking my health and my mental attitude.
I'm so happy to see my friends in different time zones but I can't always pull all nighters to play with 'em.

Good Morning!
