   Here's a rather kafkaesque situation about some chicken in Venezuela yesterday. The original conversation is in Spanish so this has been plugged through google translate which is why the syntax is sometimes even weirder than I usually speak, and "a chicken" would probably normally be "some chicken" but I think the rendering of "a chicken" makes it much funnier. Time's shown are Caracas time.

[11/12, 11:18 PM] Kris: What do you do my love?
[11/12, 11:18 PM] Cristina: Waiting for a chicken to be delivered
[11/12, 11:18 PM] Cristina: 🤦🏻‍♀️
[11/12, 11:19 PM] Cristina: But at night I feel a little bad due to the cold
[11/12, 11:19 PM] Kris: 🐔🐔🐔
[11/12, 11:19 PM] Kris: 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
[11/12, 11:19 PM] Cristina: They sold a chicken economically through the government
[11/12, 11:19 PM] Cristina: I'm waiting to look for it [buscarlo, I'm not sure about the exact connotations of the word, she apparently went down to the building lobby to wait for the delivery, buscarlo seems to connote going for something as an errand]
[11/12, 11:20 PM] Kris: 🐔🥳
[11/12, 11:30 PM] Cristinas: It's so late now
[11/12, 11:32 PM] Kris: Yes my love
[11/12, 11:32 PM] Kris: Will you sleep?
[11/12, 11:32 PM] Kris: Do you work tomorrow?
[11/12, 11:32 PM] Cristina: I have to wait for the chicken
[11/12, 11:32 PM] Kris: 🐔🤦🏼‍♀️
[11/12, 11:33 PM] Kris: Chicken arrives so late
[11/12, 11:33 PM] Kris: 🐔⏱️⏱️⏱️
[11/12, 11:33 PM] Cristina: Tomorrow I had to work but since I have the flu I will not go
[11/12, 11:33 PM] Kris: 🐔🕙🕚🕛
[11/12, 11:34 PM] Kris: 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[11/13, 08:32 AM] Cristina: My love the chicken arrived late
[11/13, 08:34 AM] Kris: what time did it arrive?
[11/13, 09:03 AM] Cristina: About 2 in the morning
[11/13, 09:04 AM] Cristina: They give me Indra's chicken [Indra is her best friend and lives in the same building] and it turns out that Indra didn't pay for it and then those people calling all night to return Indra's chicken
[11/13, 09:04 AM] Cristina: 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
[11/13, 09:04 AM] Cristina: A rather uncomfortable situation
[11/13, 09:04 AM] Kris: Venezuela is a crazy place, where the chicken arrives at 2 in the morning. 🐔🙈
[11/13, 09:05 AM] Kris: 😱
[11/13, 09:05 AM] Kris: This is crazy
[11/13, 09:05 AM] Cristina: Yes
[11/13, 09:05 AM] Cristina: And Indra paid for it later
[11/13, 09:06 AM] Cristina: But the problem continued and Indra told me to return her chicken
[11/13, 09:06 AM] Kris: 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
[11/13, 09:07 AM] Kris: Did you return the chicken?
[11/13, 09:07 AM] Cristina: Yes
[11/13, 09:07 AM] Kris: 🙈
[11/13, 09:08 AM] Kris: Does it cost much?
[11/13, 09:08 AM] Cristina: Less than $ 1
[11/13, 09:08 AM] Cristina: I tried to return the chicken but they didn't accept it because Indra paid later
[11/13, 09:08 AM] Kris: But you got your chicken?
[11/13, 09:09 AM] Kris: Did you get a chicken too or was it only a chicken for indra?
[11/13, 09:11 AM] Cristina: I received my chicken and Indra's
[11/13, 09:12 AM] Kris: 🐔🐔
[11/13, 09:35 AM] Kris: Is it good chicken?
[11/13, 09:37 AM] Cristina: No ajajaja
[11/13, 09:38 AM] Cristina: I paid for it because my mother wanted me to buy it
[11/13, 09:38 AM] Cristina: But the situation was uncomfortable

   Today she is sick. I have prescribed she should have chicken soup.

Here is a conversation I recently had with noted physicist Casey "Morrison" Davis of UC Davis, known to undergrads of all departments as "the druid" and to the livejournasphere as [livejournal.com profile] barnabas_truman; rumored to be a wizard whose bushy brown beard is considered an omen of good fortune, whose very presence is believed to cause bystanders to understand math and physics better; whose pennywhistle music on the quad can tame wild beasts and even Calpirgers. for the sake of imagining this conversation, instead of picturing us at our computers talking on facebook, as actually happened, why don't you go ahead and picture us wearing bowler hats sitting in a victorian parlor. I do in fact currently have a handlebar mustache, which will fit in with this setting nicely.

Me: Casey dear chap, can light itself orbit a black hole?

The answers to all your burning questions! )





And here is a picture that is only related inasmuch as it's of the sun, since I don't have any pictures of any black holes at the moment. (:

(1:08:29 PM) snail of DEATH: So. On facebook you can now have a username. It obv should be simple so you can tell people "go find X" to find you. So my name is out because I'd have to explain how to spell it. So I need like. One word, or something otherwise memorable, that is not already taken
(1:08:47 PM) calinocoto: why not just emosnail?
(1:09:13 PM) snail of DEATH: ugh no I'd change that too if emosnail wasn't already so well known

(1:17:11 PM) calinocoto: yes
(1:17:16 PM) calinocoto: and no one will know how to spell it
...
(1:19:04 PM) snail of DEATH: well what's another line I can go down in thesaurus to find something apt? I looked up all the entries under deviousness and all the entries under shenanigans so far
(1:19:52 PM) calinocoto: why not just shenanigans?
(1:21:10 PM) snail of DEATH: shenanigans I would have been all about, but its def taken
(1:21:24 PM) calinocoto: poop
(1:21:37 PM) snail of DEATH: hmm I could do sometihng like 321shenanigans
(1:21:40 PM) snail of DEATH: lets see if its taken
(1:22:01 PM) calinocoto: oh no, numbers are stupid
(1:22:06 PM) calinocoto: i dont' like numbers in a url
(1:22:38 PM) snail of DEATH: yeah I think it's dumb if you have to stick like 1 on the end or esp if you put a totally random number at the end
(1:22:45 PM) snail of DEATH: but 321shenanigans is like, a countdown
(1:23:02 PM) calinocoto: oh, that's true

***EDIT TO ADD:
(1:54:07 PM) calinocoto: i was thinking of just putting mine puppy
(1:54:12 PM) calinocoto: the problem is that i like kittens, too
(1:54:16 PM) snail of DEATH: hahahaha
(1:54:25 PM) calinocoto: it's a real dilemma!
(1:54:27 PM) snail of DEATH: I'm gonna have to edit to add that to my entry
(1:54:28 PM) snail of DEATH: :D
(1:54:31 PM) calinocoto: lol
(1:54:35 PM) calinocoto: my crises on display for the world


And so, before I commit to an apparently unchangeable username, anyone have any ideas??? (am currently leaning towards 321shenanigans, but figure I'll give it an hour or two to see if I can come up with something better -- if you steal it in the mean time I will killorize you!)
