(19:42:39) Aarón: i misplace sodas a lot

(19:42:46) Aarón: they usually end up exploded in the freezer

23:07:44 [Aaron] (Autoreply): the library made noises at me, so i'm in shapiro doing work.

(11:45:53) Aaron B: i don't even have a querty!

(03:25:41) Aarón: youre screenshots are scary

(03:26:00) Aarón: it's like looking through the eyes of a paranoid schizophrenic

...

(03:30:27) Aarón: AH! it's 330

(03:30:42) Aarón: ok... must sleep... snow is waiting for me

(03:30:51) Aarón: i can see it building up JUST for me :)

(03:30:57) Aarón: it's calling my name

(03:31:07) Aarón: "aaaaaron, aaaaaaron.. come plaaaaaay with meeeeeE"

(03:31:16) Aarón: o wait... it's the damn pipes in my room

(03:31:23) Aarón: SHUT UP, PIPES

(03:31:40) Aarón: ok, i think I'M the paranoid schizophrenic, not your screenshot

(05:19:06) Aaron B: i love typis

(05:19:08) Aaron B: typos*

16:02:46 devnullpenguin: they really shoulda called it phonology phest tho

(23:45:03) Aaron B: cool. tjamls

(23:45:25) [me]: tjamls?

(23:45:35) Aaron B: tjamls?

(23:45:43) [me]:

(23:45:03) Aaron B: cool. tjamls

(23:45:56) [me]: oh

(23:45:58) [me]: "thanks"?

(23:46:00) Aaron B: i have no idea what that was

(23:46:06) Aaron B: maybe?

(22:54:40) [me]: /r/ → [j] → ∅

(22:55:33) Aaron B: ??

(22:55:41) Aaron B: whatʼs the second arrow mean?

(22:56:08) Aaron B: /input/ -> [output] -> telepathy?

(22:56:18) Aaron B: that would explain the sound/no sound alternation...

...

(22:57:12) Aaron B: if that's the case, then there might be a weird kind of suppletion thing going on

(17:51:53) Aarón: that would be an interesting study

(17:51:58) Aarón: how sarcasm is denoted in text

(17:54:20) Aarón: how many weeks are there in the semester?

(21:31:32) Aaron B: if (oberon.making_garlic_bread_p) {
aaron.go(geekshelter)
}

Aaron B [01:31]: well, i'm trying to be "le formal" so i don't "le fail" "le class"

Aaron B [20:47]: in *america* we don't have an "h"

go to any store

[17:03] Aaron B: *dork*

[17:03] Aaron B: not that that's a bad thing, mind you

[17:03] Aaron B: given, i heard a radio ad and thought about phonological queues

[02:50] Aaron B: well, by "famous" i mean "famous within the field"

[02:50] Aaron B: aka "my research funding hasn't been cut more than 70%"

(05:00:19) Aarón: i just broke down a translation of desfortunamente for my friend

(05:00:28) me: desafortunadamente?

(05:00:34) Aarón: yeah

(05:00:37) Aarón: what did i say?

(05:00:46) Aarón: oy

(05:00:52) ***Aarón is too tired for this crap

(05:01:12) Aarón: anyway, i was all des=fortunate fortunada=un mente=ly

(05:01:20) Aarón: then i realized, um...

(05:01:29) Aarón: un is NOT equal to fortunate

(01:30:22) [redacted]: from now on, all adjectives will be in the form [+crack]

00:35:39 [Aaron]: ok, it is [+bedtime]

(22:40:34) Aaron: wow.,.. i'm a dork.. i thought of this and thought it was funny:

(22:40:51) Aaron: c:\store
c:\store\run

(18:38:24) Aaron: why is it that a topic search for stupidity brings up almost the same results as a search for kathryn harris?

(18:48:17) Aaron: my my... there is ALSO a connection b/w Jess Frisch and freudian/sex

In reference to "advice" he'd given

(04:52:31) Aarón: (this has been a service of AaronsLoveAdvice.com - you stalk 'em we talk [to] 'em)

(05:12:05) Aarón: ok, nasty thought

(05:12:13) Aarón: remove thyselves from my brain!

(05:12:23) Aarón: aaaaaand theeeeey;re

(05:12:25) Aarón: still there

(05:12:26) Aarón: dammit!

(05:24:51) Aarón: you know you should stop working on a paper when you write:

(05:24:53) Aarón: Had Schwarzenegger been an author rather than a film-star, those who were literate might have been more likely to vote for him than those who could not read.

(02:19:17) Aaron B: 4am central time is what time in US?

(05:05:12) Оберон: and don't forget to set your clock back!!!

(05:05:20) [me]: oh yeah. Aaron pointed that out earlier

(05:05:24) [me]: my computer did it automatically

(05:05:26) [me]: my alarm didn't

(05:05:29) Оберон: heh

(05:05:35) Оберон: My computer is my alarm

(05:05:37) Оберон: I win.

(15:59:45) Aaron B: but i forgot that you're jonathan

(15:59:51) Aaron B: and conventional logic doesn't apply

(15:59:58) [me]: IT'S NOT CONVENTIONAL LOGIC

(16:00:08) [me]: it's logic that works on stereotypical american teenagers and no one else

(16:00:27) Aaron B: right

(16:00:29) Aaron B: convention

(01:07:03) [redacted]: i'm too tired to bullshit

(01:09:42) [me]: how are you too tired to bs?

(01:09:45) [me]: that doesn't even make sense

(01:09:54) [redacted]: i need to be 'on' to bs

me [01:31]: check check check check it out

me [01:31]: find out what what what it's all about

Aaron B [01:32]: if you never do that again, it would be ok

me [01:32]: okay, I promise

me [01:32]: we coo now?

Aaron B [01:33]: yeah

me [01:33]: dat be chill mah homester

Aaron B [01:33]: uh

Aaron B [01:33]: we not chill no more

Aaron B [04:07]: i like it my way. when you become reincarnated as me in your next life, you can change it ;)

me [04:07]: … wait

me [04:07] that can't happen

me [04:08] can it?

[02:51] Aaron B : you should get a cool linguistic alias

[02:51] Aaron B: like, you know how weathermen always just "happen" to have a geological reference in their names?

[02:51] Aaron B: around me we have "johnny mountain"

[02:51] Aaron B: and "dallas storm"

[02:51] Aaron B: you can be like...

[02:51] Aaron B: "jon minimality"

[02:52] Aaron B: or like "Al O. Phone"

[02:52] Aaron B: (short for Albert Optimality Phone)

[02:58] Aaron B: it was dallas raines

[02:58] Aaron B: sorry

[02:58] Aaron B: same difference

[00:00] Aaron B: eel is like fish that got mutated...

[00:00] Aaron B: i bet if you genetically combined a sheep and a fish, the first few would come out like eels.

07:25:46 [Aaron]: ok, i gotta shower and get ready for the day

07:26:00 [Aaron]: also, something freudian may be noted on the fact that i originally typo-ed "day" as "bad"

10:45:43 [redacted]: i think se coucher is reflexive for going to bed oneself

10:45:56 [redacted]: but "to bed, as in a woman" is probably not reflexive

10:46:30 [redacted]: (let's put it this way - if you se coucher, as in a woman, by yourself, god just killed a kitten)

02:22:23 [Aaron]: (i need to hear a drunk irishman speak in order to live out my accent fantasy)

21:00:07 [Aaron]: can i just skip from now 'til when i have tenure?

(00:44:11) Aaron: shitmuffins! it's already 12:45!

(00:44:57) [me]: shitmuffins?!

(00:45:01) [me]: roflmfao

(00:45:12) Aaron: hey, i'm allowed to make up my own language if i want!

(00:45:18) Aaron: even if it is crappy english words combined!

(02:17:23) Aaron B: i wish i was the sky god

(02:17:32) Aaron B: i'd get tenure real fast

(02:17:45) Aaron B: "it says here on your CV that you're the Sky God?"

(02:17:49) Aaron B: "yeah, that's correct"

(02:17:53) Aaron B: BAM

(02:17:57) Aaron B: Tenure

06:11:54 [Aaron]: does this make sense:

06:11:55 [Aaron]: For the sake of differentiating between participants in the pre-recorded conversation (e.g. those who sat in the recording studio and conversed) and users who have downloaded and listened to the audio file via a technological media, the terms “participants” and “users” will be used throughout this paper, respectively.

06:12:48 [me]: yes, that's perfectly clear [to me]

06:13:00 [Aaron]: shit

06:13:03 [Aaron]: if it's clear to you

06:13:07 [Aaron]: then nobody else has a chance...

[02:35] Aaron B: you finished your hw?

[02:35] Aaron B: you're all caught up?

[02:35] Aaron B: hold on, i need to look out my window

[02:35] Aaron B: nope, i don't see any pigs flying...

[02:35] Aaron B: maybe hell froze over?

(01:26:33) Aaron B: let's focus here

(01:26:38) Aaron B: ihop

(01:26:43) Aaron B: we need to get a car

(01:26:56) Jonor Thwash: we could steal and hotwire one?

(01:27:09) Aaron B: yes!

(01:27:11) Aaron B: oh wait

(01:27:14) Aaron B: that's a "bad" idea

(23:17:03) [me]: ROFL

(23:17:08) Aaron B: ?

(23:18:29) [me]: just the way you talk about phonology

(23:18:38) Aaron B: how's that?

(23:18:45) Aaron B: like it's baseball cards?

(23:19:01) [me]: hah, no, like the actually processes are people

(23:19:08) Aaron B: oh, they totally are

(23:19:12) Aaron B: that's how i understand things

(23:19:18) Aaron B: segments are "doods"

(23:19:21) Aaron B: processes are things doods do

(23:19:41) Aaron B: constraints are like guys with whips

(23:19:55) Aaron B: bein' all like "dood, do this or i'll whip you"

(23:20:00) Aaron B: but then higher ranked constraints have bigger whips

(23:20:15) Aaron B: and are like "yeah, i know the dood to my right is going to whip you, but imma whip you harder if you don't satisfy me"

(13:31:11) Aaron B: i've taken to calling lots of things adventures now

(13:31:17) Aaron B: like, if i get lost -- that's an adventure

(13:31:30) Aaron B: forgot to buy something at the grocery and have to go back -- an adventure

(13:31:35) Aaron B: it makes me feel like my life is exciting

(13:31:57) Aaron B: i haven't yet gotten so desperate that i need to "adventure" to the living room

(13:32:00) Aaron B: but that day may come

(22:50:20) Aaron B: i'm trying to right the wrongs committed to the world with my undergrad thesis

(22:50:32) Aaron B: by writing something that actually makes sense, on basically the same topic

(15:56:08) Aaron B: being a syntactician for the year is messing up my brain

(23:41:30) [redacted]: i have to present 30-40 min on "the status of your qualifying paper" for our qual paper workshop

(23:41:44) [anon]: the status of my QP is "ummmmmmmmm"

(23:41:51) [anon]: it's hard to hold that out for 30-40 min

(20:07:46) [redacted]: there is not one single redeeming quality about the interface

(20:07:49) [redacted]: except that you can see it

(20:07:53) [redacted]: like, that it's not covered in black

(20:07:57) [redacted]: that's the only redeeming quality

(20:08:00) [redacted]: that you can see it

(21:43:46) Aaron B: and H&R are like "um, you got peanut butter in my chocolate; NO, you got CHOCOLATE in my peanut butter"

(21:43:51) Aaron B: except they don't like Reese's

(21:44:04) Aaron B: so they're grumpy about it

(21:44:19) Aaron B: basically they're like "phono is a completely arbitrary, abstract computation system; anything else = lame"

...

(21:46:37) Aaron B: lol, sorry

(21:46:50) Aaron B: sometimes i need to anthropomorphize complex theoretical issues

(13:44:30) jonorthwash: anyway, the Kyrgyz side of the invitation's going to be very different

(13:44:42) Aaron B: make sure to put the same date ;)

(23:14:35) Aaron B: i was at the dept from 9-6, had ice cream for dinner, and have been working since, excluding a few minutes when i fell afk (=asleep face-on keyboard)

…

(23:16:10) [me]: ooh though, ice cream

(23:16:18) Aaron B: yeah, i know, right?

(23:16:38) Aaron B: cookie dough

(23:17:05) [me]: I have mint chocolate chip

(23:17:17) Aaron B: but does yours have peanut butter in it?

(23:17:22) Aaron B: mine didn't, until it did

(23:17:28) Aaron B: but then it became better than yours

(23:18:40) [me]: that would make me so sick

(23:18:54) Aaron B: i feel sick right now, but that's the only reason i'm not laying down --

(23:18:59) Aaron B: because if i did, i'd barf

(23:19:07) Aaron B: it's me keep-working mechanism ;)

(23:19:14) Aaron B: (not really, but it sounded too good to pass up that story)

(21:24:01) [redacted]: ok, time for operation "holy crap my sink is so full of dishes it might be a breeding ground for new forms of life so i'd better do something about it"

(21:24:15) [redacted]: (good operation names are SO hard to come up with these days)

(00:12:59) [redacted]: and OMG you're sharing 2 computers on dial up?!

(00:13:10) [redacted]: ware you crazy?

(00:13:17) me: :)

(00:13:24) me: it was three

(00:13:29) [redacted]: you are crazy, aren't you?

(00:13:33) [redacted]: you're certifiable

(00:13:36) [redacted]: THREE?@??@?

(00:13:39) [redacted]: HOLY SHIT ON A STICK!

(00:13:40) [redacted]: come on!

(00:13:43) me: four :-P

(00:13:48) [redacted]: that's like 2 kb/YR per person

(00:14:05) [redacted]: i do hope you're kidding

(00:14:05) [redacted]: about the 4

(00:14:11) [redacted]: tell me you were kidding

(00:14:15) me: no

(00:14:18) [redacted]: or i may just have a cardiac arrestr

(00:14:21) ***[redacted] dies

(00:14:21) me: I have a linux box sitting there doing nothing

(00:14:31) ***[redacted] has been magically revived

(00:14:45) ***[redacted] recalls why he died, then proceeds to die again

(00:15:04) ***[redacted] is revived again and would like to forget that FOUR computers were sharing a dialup connection

(00:15:09) [redacted]: at least its 56k, rite?

(00:15:09) [redacted]: not 28?

(00:15:32) me: uhm.. I think it's connected at 46666kbps or something right now

(00:15:58) [redacted]: well, yeah... 56k never connects at that

(00:16:39) [redacted]: but still

(00:16:41) [redacted]: holy jesus

(00:16:48) [redacted]: how long did it take to load google?!

(13:46:43) [redacted]: i have so much fucking spanish to do

(13:46:53) [redacted]: where is spanish!? i need to fuck her!

(00:09:00) [anon]: spreche kann nicht deitch

(00:09:03) [anon]: deuitch

(00:09:07) [anon]: deutcsch

(00:09:09) [anon]: deutsch

(00:09:10) [anon]: or something

(00:09:13) [me]: those are all dialects

(01:41:16) Aaron B: they are like, the crappiest, lowest quality, processed horribleness

(01:41:19) Aaron B: but they are so good

(01:41:33) Aaron B: you know what i mean

(01:41:36) jonorthwash: yes

(01:41:41) jonorthwash: I'm a grad student too you know
