Extispicy: Notebook Nostalgia

October 04, 2006

Notebook Nostalgia

The fact we have long enjoyed scribbling random utterances on barnaps or in notebooks while getting convivial in a bar has been mentioned before -- by me and by Melusine, the Marquis, and Kallisti. Usually, Melusine and the Marquis tend to share their drunken scrawlings in their LJs not long after the scribblings had been scribbled.

Me, on the other hand, I have a different system. I let mine ferment. I usually keep little notebooks on me -- especially in the old days when I was frequenting various gin joints with my lovely cohorts. Something always was said that prompted me to make an entry, even if later on, it was obvious that I seem to get easily amused when a tad tipsy.

Now, the problem with my notebook system is that I tend to throw them somewhere after I'm home and then they usually get pushed aside or lost in some mess -- and only will resurface later when I'm digging around in stuff looking for something else. Thus, sometimes the notebooks will have, for example, a half a dozen entries from 1998 and then skip to 2003 and then turn into a grocery list. But, actually, I think it's fun finding entries from years ago and sometimes remembering the context and sometimes having absolutely no clue.

So, anyway, an OLD notebook just resurfaced in my mess today, and there were three entries in it from 1999 that I decided to type up and share with Melusine and Kallisti, as they're the quoted here. And I thought "what the hell", I share it in the blog -- as I haven't posted much of anything in a while. So, enjoy the random out-of-context quotes. Or don't. Heh.

(M is Melusine, K is Kallisti, and I'm B where the names are abbreviated, although I'm sure you coulda figured that one out!)

"You don't have to mention that nothing else happened but this."
-- M

"I want to buy a mess of pumpkin seeds. I'm NOT writing this down."

"God, I love beer."

(some other scribblings of wrong, very wrong alternate teletubby names here .... this I remember as it was the night we came up with Beezelbubby, which Kallisti later brought to life here.)

-- M

"Sick and wrong."
-- K

"We need awards."

"Yes, there are many different ways to combine words."
-- Bat, after seeing "Fallopian Testimonies" and "Follicular Marmalade" written on the wall in the bathroom.

Melusine ponders why she gets approached: "It's because I don't care," she decides.

"It's because you look good in a bar."
-- B

"He's just a little off. It might be drugs."
-- M

Among all the erectile dysfunction pills available in the market, it is levitra that has carved out a niche name for itself and levitra prescription has become much sought after for the impotency afflicted patients.

Viagra is proved to be the best friend of men suffering from impotency. With viagra curing millions from the shackles of erectile dysfunction, an inseparable bond of trust has grown up between viagra and men. However, when erectile dysfunction afflicted men across the world have got back their capability to sexually satisfy their women a similar bond of reliance has also started to develop between viagra and women. And finally, viagra and couples have become the best of buddies.
