Nicely done. Were you lucky enough to see any lovely young ladies there dressed as a ship? ...you know...For a little recreation of those famous illustrations of THE KRAKEN?

Nice outfit...

***WAY OFF TOPIC***
Is your NYC apartment of the roommates-not-included sort? My good friend Annie (an authentic New Yorker) is looking for a place in south Manhattan. It doesn't look as though I'll be going to grad. school there so I'm out of the roommate candidacy.

Did you know that your name is an anagram for "oral wang?" Actually... you probably did. But now everyone else knows.

jeff: to recap, here are the three comments you've left so far on this entry: (1) sexual squid (2) dolphin mom (3) oral wang. most people would conclude several things from this. but they would be wrong. p.s. thanks for the anagram, i had forgotten about it...i think a singing anagram service would be nice don't you?

adele: put her in touch with me. i'm still looking, and mainly at share situations, in east village / lower east side / bushwick. so sounds like we're after the same thing! there may be some advantages to teaming up.

Why?

At least I know you're still alive.

Thanks for understanding Alan. I mean you kind of had to know you had it coming... dressing up like the Kraken and all. But Dolphin Mom? That wasn't me. It was probably some middle-aged dolphin lady that sits at home all day smoking cigarettes, watching soaps, and eating government cheese and was too self-involved to pay a little bit of attention to her dolphin child. Well, it was her negligence that lost her child to some gutless dolphin-eating squid. So now she's taking out her maternal bitchiness and inadequacies on all squidkind. It probably happens all of the time. And the "oral wang" thing. I sympathize for you. What were your parents thinking?

Singing Anagram? I'd rather have a Sagging Rainman.

damn you jeff. you made me write a perl script to see if i (or rather a machine) could come up with anything cooler. i'm not sure it did.

airman gang sign
angina grim; nags
snagging marinas
gang rams in gina
managing in rags
managing grains
anna gags, miring
man's aging grain
mania gangs grin

Truth be told I just went to http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/

...Although I was thinking about trying to program it in MATLAB myself as a good exercise. I don't speak PERL. Angina. That's a good word. Spasmodic attacks of suffocating. I like it. Does that rhyme with what I think it rhymes with? If so I could use it in this song I'm working on where I was stumped trying to rhyme a certain word. I don't speak phonetics either.

I was talking about "North Indochina" by the way.

it just keeps getting better...

Posted by: alan at April 1, 2006 08:54 PM

hi alan. you are my new hero, considering i've wanted to move to nyc since i was thirteen. at the same time, i'm enraged with jealousy. thanks a lot for that.

Posted by: ash at April 3, 2006 03:58 PM

ash--well, you've found me out. my sole intent in moving to new york was to enrage you with jealousy.

Posted by: alan at April 3, 2006 11:49 PM

p.s. your boyfriend is weird, he keeps posting comments on my blog every like 13 seconds. :)

Posted by: alan at April 3, 2006 11:50 PM

probably cause he just doesn't know what to do with himself when i'm not there to show him the way.

trust me, he gets weirder.

Wow nice done Dude. A mixture of Jamiroquai and crazy Frog outa space. Best wishes now from 'the Netherlands', Normen


'PS.: Chester the ugliest Cat in the world is still living ;-)'

It's also good to know that Normen, the ugliest Dude in the world, is still living.

Seriously man I just thought about you this morning for no reason at all, and again this evening because I saw a Dutch film. Damn...just can't get you outta my mind baby. Tell me what's going on in the white man's mind these days.

Posted by: alan at April 10, 2006 12:37 AM

Hey mate.
Thought about me while watching a dutch movie. What the Hell. I am definitely not dutch. The only thingy I like here is that one of my hobbies is legal. Man what are you doing right now and where are you. Hey you could also write me a mail.
So after my study I did not do any 3D work like in the good old siemens days. Now I am a serieous IT consultant an working for a client here in the Netherlands.
Are you still that funny guy ;-)

cheers, Normen
