Random Thoughts X (The 9th Regeneration)

[jcyclonee]

Yah, beauty and the beast there. His voice with an extra dose of Waits and her's is so smooth and beautiful. From the somewhat obscure Coppola movie, One From the Heart with Nastassja Kinski. Nastassja Kinski, just sayin'.

I knew I had seen a Natassja Kinski movie so I went to IMBD to figure out which one it was. I'm pretty sure it was "Cat People". Here's the IMBD summary:

A young woman's sexual awakening brings horror when she discovers her urges transform her into a monstrous black leopard.

I'm guessing there's about a 100% chance this was available on Skinamax.

Random observation from the last 24 hours. The hostess/manager gal at Wild Wings and the Audi rental service gal have to be two of the most attractive and pleasant 20-somethings in the Twin Cities. Right now I'd rank them #1 and #2. If I was any kind of a decent alumni grandpa wingman I'd figure out how to introduce them to our young single dudes here.

I can't stop laughing when I think of carvers friendly roommate. Who gets busy like that? The towers had small rooms. I am imagining the beds weren't lofted or anything or were just bunked which would be even funnier.

That room wasn't bunked or lofted, so yeah, I wake up to the noise, open my eyes, and some guy who I have never seen in my life, my first view is his naked ass. I did just grab my blanket and leave. Came back for clothes in the morning, could hear them at it again at the door. Fortunately I didn't have class until 11:00 something that day.

The triple freshman year was a bunk and a single bed. We lofted junior and senior year. We didn't have ladders so we just used the dresser, and slept on the futon in room if too intoxicated for that manuever. I don't think they even inspected lofts back then. And yeah, we heard plenty of loft crashes.

When I lived in Towers, I think there was a loft inspection but it was performed by the RA. My first RA was a Marketing major and the second was Psychology. Safety first.

Cat People was not a Skinamax movie.

My freshman year roommate was actually a junior. She had changed her major multiple times so she wasn't close to a degree yet. Her last change was into aerospace engineering (usually people change out of that major . . . ) We got along well, I think we both had hometown boyfriend issues to start. Got a phone call over Winter break--"I'm not going back to Iowa State" so I had a room to myself at Willow. Sophomore year I moved into the sorority house where we picked our roommates every semester.

Coincidentally I ran into one of your sorority sisters a couple days ago at the grocery store. Made me feel a little old seeing an early 40-something mom that I knew as a toddler. Heck, she's older then her parents were when I first meet them . Anyway, she is seemingly doing great and I'm going to pop over to visit and give them some landscape advice.

I never heard of lofts until we took my older son up to UNI. Who needs kits when you have a stepdad like PapaLew? They put one together in no time, way cheaper than if they bought the kit, and it met the specs that the dorm had. His second year (after the triple down to double first year) and all the years after were as an RA. He never slept on the loft. He had this ratty old couch that he slept on. Took it to grad school too. Eventually his wife made him get rid of it.

I was gifted some really sturdy free-standing lofts in Friley and Helser. The suspended one I used in new RCA looked sketchy, but did the trick.

I remember being woken up one of the first nights in Helser by someone's stereo at 3AM, sitting straight up in my loft and crushing my head on the ceiling. I'm pretty sure that one moment did enough damage to my mind that it caused me to get a D in my Poli Sci class that semester.

I believe Pants may have graduated out of their probable demographic sweet spot. Just sayin.'

Hadn't heard of her and with the way you were describing I was curious and googled. I type in her name and one option was Natasha kinski and the snake . I stopped there, not sure where you and boxster are leading me so I turned around.

She was an 80's sex symbol and actress from Germany. That snake poster wasn't much racier than the swimsuit posters of Farrah Fawcett, Cheryl Tiegs, Heather Thomas etc.

Besides Cat People she played Susie the Bear in that dreadful film adaptation of The Hotel New Hampshire. She was also in some sky diving crime adventure movie with a young Charlie Sheen

 

[jcyclonee]

Cat People was not a Skinamax movie.

That means I watched Cat People for the plot? Ugh. I'm more embarrassed by that than watching it as a Skinamax presentation.

I suppose you're right. There is that horrible "Guys My age" song out right now that may give him some hope, though.

We'll go with that.

This is for the 3 people here who care about ISU softball. Last year the entire team had 13 stolen bases. Wow, that is awful. This year they currently have 70. One gal alone has 17. The girls are still struggling, lost their Big 12 home opening series to TT and now have to travel to ranked OU.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

We'll go with that.

There may have been other factors including my hatred of the professor, my hatred of the subject material, my hatred of the blue book exam formats, my hatred of the fact that 80% of your grade was determined by the final, my hatred for the fact that this professor's monotone delivery at 8AM had less excitement than Ben Stein's character from Ferris Bueller's Day Off...... and possibly a frisky girlfriend and/or alcohol.

Because she's been volunteering at a hospital, my teenager has been invited to attend a recognition event at a prestigious local golf club with free food. She's probably not going to attend. If I put on a wig, can I pass as a 15 year old girl?

All of your justifications are completely plausible... except for the last 2.

Props to your daughter for her volunteer work and recognition.

The last sentence kept me from giving your post a "winner" rating.
