Who's staying up late? I'm bored and everyone's going to bed...

[Aristus]

Let's hear it for the night owls! :toast::beer:

[stewartcolbert08]

1. I am I am!!

But I am working! :thumbsdown:

[Aristus]

2. I'm sorry to hear that.

But at least I can keep you company. :-)

What are you working on?

[stewartcolbert08]

17. Indeed!

Nothing inpaticular, just got through entering a runaway juvy and now just hoping we dont have any major calls before i go home at six! What are you doing to pass time?

[Aristus]

26. Drinking Stimson's Merlot, eating pizza, and listening to Enigma.

You know, the usual... :-)

[stewartcolbert08]

46. LOL

Merlot.........ugh! I was thinking something like a White Russian sounded yummy!

[Aristus]

60. Well, I got to the liquor store too late...

Had to go to the supermarket for some wine. They don't sell the hard stuff there...

[Robeson]

3. I'm here, and watching "The Trip" on TCM...

...so I'm periodically checking in and out.

[Aristus]

4. Well, rock on, man.

:thumbsup:

[slay]

5. I'm bout to watch the finale of Dollhouse!

In 720p no less - and smoke a phatty first too.. awww yeah! :hippie:

[Aristus]

6. Damn! I could go for a spliff right now...

Enjoy the show...

[slay]

8. Here ya go - enjoy!

Actually, I got something really good this time.. looks like this:



Man am I stoked - this quality is not common here. So stinky - but in a marvelous way. :hippie: :smoke:

[Aristus]

10. Thanks, man. A digital joint is gonna have to do for now. It kills me that the liquor store

was only open till seven. I missed getting a good bottle of Irish single-malt...

[Richard Steele]

7. I have to be at work at 1:00 tomorrow, and it's a 35-minute drive....

So I kinda have to log off now.

Sorry, Aristus, but I gotta say GOODNIGHT.

Good Night! :hi::

[Aristus]

9. Good night, Dick. Sleep well.

And drive safe tomorrow... :hi::pals:

[Richard Steele]

15. I promise...

...NOTHNG.
:hi:

[Dammit Ann]

11. up, wired and deliriously happy.

12 pack away from bed...

[Aristus]

13. Well, Dammit Ann, I'm glad to hear your deliriously happy. What is the reason?

Come on, you can tell me. I'm absolutely plastered. Is any of this spelled right even?

[Dammit Ann]

18. good job with the spelling.

I just got tickets to a show I really want to see and I'm taking my favorite gay boss and my wonderful husband and it is going to be EPIC and I'm drinking to celebrate.

[Aristus]

21. Well, that IS something to be happy about.

I'm happy for you! :-)

[Dammit Ann]

22. Thank you!

I'm totally thrilled, yet totally broke now. But it's worth it!
I'm sad for what you are having to deal with, though.
(I read all the threads)
You'll make it through. Booze helps. and I'll try to make you laugh.

[Aristus]

24. Well, just knowing that you're happy is a start.

What's the show?

[Dammit Ann]

25. It's silly and you will make fun of me.

[Dammit Ann]

27. take a guess.

you'll get a cookie.

[Aristus]

28. "Show Boat"?

I only guessed that because my best friend is appearing in a local production as the slave who sings "Old Man River". He has a glorious black-gospel voice. I know his is killing the audiences every night with that one...

[Dammit Ann]

29. um, no. But close.

It's the Idols Summer Tour. In Atlanta. Great seats.

I love me some glorious voices. Well one, especially.

[Aristus]

30. Sounds like fun.

I bet you're jazzed! B-)

[Dammit Ann]

31. I'm freaking the fuck out.

It's feels like I'm eleven again and waiting to see Michael Jackson, back when he ruled the world.

SO. FUCKING. EXCITED. And I'm 37, a very young 37, but still. Something is wrong with me.

[Aristus]

32. No. There's nothing wrong with you.

I'm forty, and I still get excited about concerts and things. It's how you know you're alive! :bounce:

[Dammit Ann]

51. Yes! I agree.

I'm very much alive tonight.

[Dammit Ann]

59. Did you check out Kings of Leon yet?

They are a whole lot of awesome coolness. I promise.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

12. once it starts getting warm

I don't sleep too well.... I am usually up all summer

dreams and such

[Aristus]

14. Sleep with the window open, man.

I love that. The sound of the crickets. The trains in the distance...

Very soothing...

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

16. I do, and it helps

but... I get bad dreams when it is warm at night

[Aristus]

19. I'm sorry to hear that.

Incidentally, and apropos of nothing, I'm listening to Enigma MCMXC; quite possibly the greatest f*ck album of all time...

[WildEyedLiberal]

20. I'm still up

No one I know is up, but I'm not tired, so here I sit with a glass of wine. Le sigh...

[Aristus]

23. Well, I don't know you very well, but I'm up, at least.

I've got my glass of wine right here...

:toast:

[WildEyedLiberal]

33. I mostly lurk

Been on DU for a long time, but I don't chat in the Lounge much.

:toast: at least!

[Aristus]

34. Well, you're Irish, so definitely a plus in my books!

:beer:

Have you seen this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EADUQWKoVek

I've got Irish in me. And Scottish. And English. And Welsh. And French. So I just say that I'm Celtic. That keeps it simple. :-)

[WildEyedLiberal]

35. That's awesome!

I'm a Celtic mutt too - Scottish and Irish, with just a wee touch of English to complicate things :evilgrin:

It doesn't get much more Irish than drinking late into the night... slainte! :beer:

[Aristus]

36. Slunge!

At least I think that's Scottish.

I'm related to the royal House of Stuart, so yer talkin' te royalty, lass!

Yeah, I'm, like, one millionth in line to the throne, so don't get up... :-)

I just have NO interest in going to bed right now...

[WildEyedLiberal]

38. Yeah, me either

I was dog tired this morning, but somehow, I'm wide awake right now. Oh well, that's what weekends are for, right?

It'd be neat if I had some royalty along the line somewhere, but AFAIK I'm just related to a bunch of dirt farmers :rofl: My family's been in the US for so long it's hard to say, though. Genealogy is something I'd really like to get into if I had the time, energy, and money. Maybe someday...

Have you ever been to Ireland or Great Britain? I took this pic of a high Celtic cross in Ireland last year:

[Aristus]

41. Here's me in the tower of Urquhart Castle at Loch Ness:

This was in 1993. I've lost a little hair since then... :-)

[WildEyedLiberal]

44. Beautiful pic! I've been there!

You're a handsome fella, and you look right at home in the rugged Highlands!

I was lucky enough to be able to spend 6 months last year in the UK, so I took as many opportunities as I could to travel. I lived in London and Cambridge, and took tours through the Scottish Highlands, Ireland, and Cornwall. I also made it to Berlin and Denmark. I got back about 6 months ago and I'm going into hardcore withdrawal. There are some cheap airfare deals to the UK right now, but I just can't justify the expense. I hope I'll be able to set aside enough over the next year to splurge and go back sometime next year. I live in Illinois so I miss the sea in particular.

[Aristus]

49. Aw shucks!

:blush:

I miss the UK. I feel like I really belong there. Sometimes I wonder if, deep down inside, there's a small voice inside every American, calling them home...

[WildEyedLiberal]

52. I absolutely felt like that when I was there.

There are certainly beautiful places in the US, and this had been my family's home for hundreds of years, but there was a real indescribable sense of belonging I felt standing on those rocky shores. I know it sounds silly, but I do think that the land you are from is a part of you, in your blood. I don't know that I've ever felt as "home" as I did in Ireland and Scotland. I know that sounds woo, but... it was an amazing feeling.

[Aristus]

55. No, I understand.

I remember feeling that way when I was visiting London, and Liverpool, and Glasgow, and Inverness. It was like: "How come I don't live HERE instead of back in the States?

[WildEyedLiberal]

61. I hear ya.

Damnit! I had a nice bottle of Glenmorangie single malt around here, but I polished it off last week. Tonight would be a *terrific* night to indulge in the water of life! Guess I'll just have to settle for this cheap supermarket wine. Ah well, c'est la vie...

Speaking of Scotland, have you ever had Fraoch Scottish heather ale? That is some tasty stuff.

[Dammit Ann]

62. Macallen 12 or 18.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[Dammit Ann]

56. I'm second generation Irish Catholic, all from Cork.

Now I know you like me. ;-)

[kentauros]

37. I would have gone to bed a couple of hours ago,

but some of my (desperately in need of repair) teeth started aching. Those are the ones on the waiting list after the other similar repairs in there ;)

So, I did a little research on the media player I bought before my NZ trip and found the following:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWPCvzk_Lhw&feature=related

I decided to hook up my Sennheiser HDR 110s (cordless) and the sound quality is even more amazing than I realized! :D I'll have to find a decent set of Sennheisers with a cord or bluetooth to hook up to this thing. And if you've never seen an OLED (organic-LED) it simply does not compare to anything else on the market. I've shown this to other people, ones that have seen things like the iTouch and so forth and now they want a Cowon S9, too

[texanwitch]

39. I am working and watch How Clean is Your House on BBC America.

I am a little sleepy.

[Aristus]

42. Well, thanks for stopping in, texanwitch. Sleepy or not.

:hi:

[texanwitch]

47. I have had a major allergy attack this past week.

The pills make me sleepy.

I would whether have a cold then this.

[Aristus]

48. Well, H1-receptor blockers will do that...

Sorry, it's the Physician Assistant in me coming out... B-)

[texanwitch]

54. I am feeling better now that the herbs have kicked in.

My eyes were so bad it couldn't see half the time.

I always get this crap in the eyes.

Also the new air cleaner is helping.

[Aristus]

57. What herbs?

We just had a lecture in school about naturopathic medicine and herbal cures, so I'm curious...

[texanwitch]

63. I am using a combination of herbs in one pill from Nature's Way.

Brigham Tea, marshmallow, burdock, parsley, cayenne pepper, goldenseal, elecampane, rosemary, and cleavers.

It is the HAS blend.

[fizzgig]

40. i just got in

it's my birthday (or at least it was until three hours ago), but trivial pursuit is the only reason i was out so late. damn my sister and her getting me sucked into that game.

oh yeah, i don't know who wrote those questions, but some of the grammar and syntax made my soul die :cry:

[Aristus]

43. Well, Happy Birthday, Fizzgig! You character in one of my favorite films, you.

:hi:

I'm a pretty big fan of Trivial Pursuit, myself. How did you do?

[fizzgig]

53. i lost

but i had fun :)

and thanks :hi:

[Aristus]

58. Ah, well...

Having fun is the point anyway... :-)

[Lucian]

45. I'm still awake.

I don't usually go to bed until the sun comes up.

[Aristus]

50. Well, you've got a few more hours, at least...

:hi:
