i was just taking a little anonymous spin around the boards (reading, not posting).
and i was struck (stricken? striked? strooke? strucked? you get the point) by how nice the board community is. funny and smart and reverent when reverence is called for (i.e-dealing with peoples specific problems or issues) and irreverent when irreverence is called for (i.e-dealing with nonsense). so thank you everybody for making the moby.com boards a great place to hang out. i appreciate all of you very much.
now i’m in madrid. with a dumb-ass headache (i just had a vision of someone with limited experience with english vernacular taking that last expression seriously and being very concerned, ‘but how can moby have a headache in his ass?’).
yes, in madrid with a dumb-ass headache. but the hotel is nice and they have soap that looks like little golfballs. that made me laugh. i went to wash my hands and i opened the little cardboard hotel-box where the soap was hiding and i started laughing when out rolled a little golf-ball of soap.
and have you ever been to the airport in lisbon? oh man, the ceiling in the hall that leads to the check in area is just about the coolest thing i’ve ever seen.
it’s covered in tiny little scaffolding sort of stuff. just covered in it. if someone can find a picture of the ceiling in the lisbon departures area hall please post it here. it made me ‘ooh’ and ‘ah’.
and sitting in front of me is a bottle of san miguel 0.0% alcohol free beer and it reminds me of the simpsons where lisa becomes a vegetarian and she and apu go up to apu’s little roof garden and the stairs are hidden behind a door for alcohol free beer and lisa says ‘but what if someone wants to buy alcohol free beer?’ and apu says ‘hmm, i guess i’ll have to deal with that when it happens.’ or something. i paraphrase. but it was funny.
i haven’t seen the simpsons in months and my life is definitely poorer for it.
time to go bang my sinuses against the wall.
