Spotted other while we were both working at Mendelsohn Theatre today.
I spotted asddsa to-day.
I spotted dah this morning.
I assume I'm going to spot asddsa to-day.
I spotted munkey and susieque on my AIM last night.
Well, speaking of that, Momo, I could use your AIM contact: Yahoo changed things to block spam to the point where Y! won't jive with Trillian anymore, so I'm waiting for Cerulean Studios to issue a patch.
Do you use IRC with Trillian?
I spotted valerie, arlo, and kendra at Whole Foods today. I also think I saw melanief there, but I'm not sure.
(I tried to check out Whole Foods but couldn't find a parking space.) Spotted danr at the Michigan Theater yesterday. We were both there to see "Lost in Translation".
resp:7 Indeed I do.
blh is back in town for a week!
spotted y while sitting with scott (and a couple of non-grexers who probably wondered what the hell I was talking about) tonight at Arbor Brewing.
How'd you get home so quick, Eric?
My bike was parked right in front of the bar, my computer was sleeping on the desk/table right by the door, and it only take me two keystrokes to be reading agora once the computer wakes up. Besides, you only posted 5 minutes after I did.
I just spotted munkey on Yahoo!!
Dammit, I should have hopped right on Grex instead taking out my contact lenses first.
Those back-to-back vegetarian nachos + brews were a dead give away in Item Ate.
I'm just waiting for Arbor to start doing the Fat Abbot belgians again, now that cold weather is here.
I forgot to enter that I spotted aruba around 11:30 Tuesday morning. He was crossing Huron at Ravena on his bike. I was heading out to WCCs Western Center for my first Tai Chi class.
You take Tai Chi class? Word. For fighting or relaxing?
Stress relief, improving flexibility (I have non-arthritic auto-immune joint disease and have to keep moving or I stiffen up just like arthritis), and to just get moving. I am hoping that Tai Chi plus walking all over campus will help loosen the joints and get rid of the chronic pain in the hips, knees, and ankles.
it probably will.
Yup, I bike through that intersection quite frequently. Never expected to be spotted!
The police'll spot you if you keep running those red lights.
Ken and Leslie (visited us).
Successfully avoided seeing any Grexers over the weekend except for the one I live with.
spotted dewshine painting a wall along miller yesterday.
Was she painting a wall or a train overpass.
Yes.
re 26 Wouldn't that mean you spotted two GreXers? For instance, you spot yourself every day.
I spotted jor at Green Wood last saturday.
spotted munkry and polytarp on AIM yesterday.
This response has been erased.
re 32 polytarp uses AIM?
I spotted katie right back.
Well, at least he tells me he's polytarp.
He is.
Spotted dewshine during a fire drill today.
Spotted asddsa today.
dewzzz was on fire?
Plan to spot asddas today.
Spotted susieque, tod, and phenix - on AIM
(did they have their wee little photos in their wee little icon space?)
Except for tod, the others didn't
(Except for the usual one, no Grexers encountered. At least, none THAT I KNOW OF. (I've occasionally discovered "stealth Grexers" among my students.))
I promise not to be a "stealth Grexer" if I manage to become one of your students.
You can't be a stealth Grexer -- I'm already onto you and know your Grexing habits. An example of a stealth Grexer would be the former qt314. She took a class from me, but the semester was almost over before I learned that she was also on Grex.
(no, dewshine was not on fire. Nor was the building. Thus the 'drill'. Of course, with that hair, it's kind of hard to tell. :)
Her hair has tamed down a lot. That is the trouble with semi-permanent dyes. We were just thinking that it was time to redo it. I look for her in crowds by looking for the bright blue or purple, but haven't been able to use that trick for a bit. She does have fun with it and it is better than some of the things she could be into. Are you sure she wasn't on fire. The way she bounces around sometimes I think that she is.
:)
A number of grexers to be spotted at the Conclave sf con next weekend (in a week).
I can't wait
David, Mail me your AIM name.
Arabella and I spotted bookie at the U.Mich production of "Guys and Dolls" tonight.
he would be there - expectedly.
Right - "Guys and Dolls" is full of bookies and such.
spotted a dewshine outside PerfNet today. exchanged huggles and random bits of conversation.
Did you get intrduced to the smudgin? (The young man she was with this afternoon is the step-nephew of my brother-in-law's father. The kids decided that that made them smudgins. Since most of her friends call me "Mommie", he calls me Smummie.) ;-)
She spelled it wrong! Shmuzin! Shmuzin! ^-^
Not as such. He was introduced as Jon, or "my cousin." (IIRC)
I spotted charcat (at pictures he took) on wunderground.com a couple of days ago.
spotted polytarp at school
spotted a scott hoofing it across Huron as I drove out of my apartment lot today.
Spotted someone on campus today who looked very similar to other (down to the belt accessories) However, since I have no reason to believe that other was in Syracuse today, I'm forced to assume it was not him.
I saw jakluman....sorry I was mistaken. It was some kids JACKOLANTERN. His big pumpkin head is the cause of my error
Larry Kestenbaum has an "Other Voices" editorial in today's (Sunday's) Ann Arbor News, on the subject of improving the voting process.
We had a nice visit with Mark (aruba) who stopped by with an empty ink cartridge for a refill, and discussed solar power for use on islands. Mark is biking to class on the bike that Jim helped tune up.
Indeed, Jim and Sindi fed me lots of delicious fruit and nuts, and Jim traded me a full ink cartridge for my empty one and a donation to Grex. All around a good deal. ;)
Spotted Jim riding his bike on Burwood street, perhaps on his way to Murray's to buy a fan belt.
Jim spotted Scott while on his way to Murray's for one of the five fan belts he bought. (He says only four belts but he bought one twice. Giggle...)
Spotted aruba, in his native habitat, earlier this evening.
Scott came by to help me with my Halloween doorbell project. He successfully diagnosed my problem, so now I need to find some spooky sounds.
Spotted katie when I did sound at the Greenwood coffeehouse this evening.
I saw both scott and danr yesterday, when they helped me again with my doorbell project. I saw tpryan the day before when he loaned me some CDs.
Spotted Jim and Sindi outside of the school where I was voting; darn, the name is escaping me, senility is heck. It was great to see Sindi up and out walking.
Jim was also voting and this was today's hike. It was great to have a chat with Ken, who is not supposed to be out walking. Slauson School. I could not remember the name of the place where I am supposed to vote either. Amazing the sort of people they allow to vote.
Yeah - imagine letting people that restore old junk, which goes against the principles of the throw-away American economy, vote. 8^}
(spotting jared.)
really?! where, dong what?
Spotted other in the middle of the Main & Washington intersection downtown. He must have walked through thick right-lane traffic just to wave into my side window...
It stopped just before I walked... ;)
Spotted a photo of other in an ACLU pamphlet.
Oh! I haven't seen it yet. Was it mailed to you? If not, where did you get it?
Got it in the mail. Title is "What's Happened to Free Speech?"
(YEAH ERIC> WHAT HAPPENED TO IT??? HUH???)
Spotted anderyn and bru at the Ark this evening.
spotted scott at the ark tonight
Had a planned sighting of mziemba and an unplanned sighting of shepherd during a quick trip to Ann Arbor a month or so ago. I spent a week in nephi's apartment in Chicago, and thus saw him briefly a few times. We were both way too busy that week. Spotted jared in Chicago as well.
is jared still working with his dad? he used to .. taht was great!
Spotted dewshine in her diurnal habitat.
Was spotted my llanarth at Metzger's.
I thought llanarth was returning to Ann Arbor?
Methinks scg was in Ann Arbor when the spotting occurred. Metzger's is the name of an Ann Arbor restaurant.
scg has already mentioned coming back to A2 for the holiday.
llanarth has ben back iin a2 for at least 1.5 yrs, maybe more.
It couldn't have been 1.5 years. I don't think. Maybe one year. Makes sense. scg moves around a lot
she left?
She was in the bay area for a while
She shells the spores for the sea whore.
Tim was spotted in Jim's house when he came over with a bunch of Thanksgiving presents which included one very small (Barbie) and one very large (server) computer case, a dead solar light (live ones are no fun) and help getting our CD writer to write CDs.
Spotted dcat this morning. Surprisingly, did not spot senna at the UM hockey game this evening.
shopped for electronics at disgustingly early hour of the morning with ea, then went back to bed for a bit. later, thanksgiving dinner (yes, on a friday) with snowth and orinoco.
Spotted scott at the Old Town tonight. Then I watched him get up and play electric standup bass and do backing vocals with the Nick Strange group.
Maybe you just can't appreciate music.
It's true.
Spotted other at the Old Town last night.
the old town has good burgers
(eskarina & I had several spottings of Russ [power] over the weekend.)
Spotted arabella at the Stadium post office today.
This response has been erased.
spotted tod at randy's last friday, least i think it was him behind the chilisize.
Spotted carson near the intersection of Stadium & Jackson.
(touche.)

Spotted myself unexpectedly in the mirror. (Sorry, best I can do for unplanned Grex spottings today.)
Did you SCREAM!?! Spotted willcome today.
This response has been erased.
I feel a little left out of this item. Are there any other grexers in Tokyo? Maybe we could coordinate some sitings preferably down at a nearby drinking establishment :-)
This response has been erased.
(one of my former co-workers is teaching English in Japan, but I don't recall exactly where.) (my parents met while stationed in Okinawa. I have yet to visit Japan myself.)
(Where on Okinawa, if I might ask?)
This response has been erased.
spotted willcome's dad and sister this evening.
(I don't know, as I haven't been. is Okinawa really that big?)
(Sixty miles long, ten miles wide (at the widest).)
(Once you get out of Naha and into the north, it gets really beautiful. Naha itself is fairly indistinguishable from any other urban area in Japan except for the weather and large numbers of US military aircraft passing this way and that. If you visit, I recommend driving north by Motobu and beyond into Kunigami and Oku)
I thought Naha was down by Mexico. ;-)
This response has been erased.
No, Naha is about five miles north of the north end of the road system here on Revillagigedo Island. If you take a boat to the float pier at the mouth of the river and hike upstream a ways it's a good place to look for black bears during the pink salmon run. http://www.dfred.net/~mcnally/Ketchikan/naha_bear_4x6.html
Naha is the provincial capital of Okinawa, toward the south end of the island. The other major city is Nago, about half-way up on the west.
I think most people picked up on that, Joe.. Clearly Greg and Tod were being facetious with their suggestions (Baja and Nai-Nai respectively) and I was talking about a very different Naha on a very different island..
Nice pictures, Mike!
Thanks. I need a way, though, to put a longer lens on my digital camera for better wildlife pictures. Even in salmon season, when they're pretty much uninterested in anything else, I'm still only willing to get so close to the bears.. :-)
Good survival strategy.
Yeah, I know. But we aren't the only ones reading the responses.
Spotted aaron at polygon's campaign-organisation meeting this evening.
We were wandering around the WCC computer department looking for a professor of C programming and were fantastically lucky to run into Glenda, who told us where to find professor ratings and said not to take the second course without taking the first one first. Somehow her advice rated more highly than the same advice from me.
I would be curious where to find the instructor ratings.
re #136: (wow, Larry's really serious about this Grex board thing!) (spotted Jared a couple of days ago when we compared MR-2s.)
(Yes, but this was for County Clerk. ;)
Had a semi-expected spotting of davel at the weekly Lighthouse Coffee Shop open mic in Milan last night.
Professor ratings at www.ratemyprofessors.com

Re #142: I wonder if there are Grexer sightings on that site. Just spotted phenix a few feet from my office.
This response has been erased.
I spotted remmers office door a little after 11am today (and on a couple of other occassions since September).
You mean to say: Professor Doctor John Remmers's door.
No, I don't.
You do.
"remmers" is fine for mode of address. But you knew that. Hm, Glenda and I never seem to be in the vicinity of my office at the same time.
That's because I am normally on campus on Mon, Wed, and Fri. You seem to be there on Tue and Thur. I was only there today to drop off an assignment.
Videotape of this year's Old Time Piano Contest arrived in the mail yesterday. Haven't watched it yet, but when I do I guess it will constitute a me-spotting.
It doesn't count if it is planned :-)

Spotted willcome's sister to-day.
?!
Is she hot?
Idiot.
haha
spent ~ 6 hrs in a car w/ orinoco today. . . .
And I spotted orinoco tonight at the annual Ann Arbor Morris Christmas party. He was a doctor.
Had a semi-planned spotting of remmers at the Ragtime Bash this evening. He played exceptionally well.
Thanks, Scott. I enjoyed performing, and hearing the other performers. It was a very good Bash this year, with a couple of new performers added to the mix. I'm sure that folks appreciated your sound engineering efforts.
Heh. I only recorded... although I did help with the battery-killing wireless mics a bit.
planned spotting of other today, and an unexpected spotting of eskarina's younger sister at the same place (AABT Nutcracker load in)

spotted iggy spotting tod spotting me and kookoo at randy's yesterday.
Where's Randy's?
south of here.
Spotted somebody who could have been senna at last night's midnight "Return of the King" showing at the Michigan.
That would have been strangely appropriate... ;)
(spotted ex-Grexer ziggy while he was working at Encore.)
Spotted krj at the post office while waiting he was waiting for arabella.
I spotted geese overhead, but no goose.
was at the Michigan for Return of the King, but wouldn't have known if i had spotted either scott or senna, as i don't know what either of them look like.
If there was someone who was about twice as tall as everybody else, that was senna.
(I suspect that a midnight showing of "Return of the King" would be one of the rare places where senna couldn't be smelled from miles away...)
re 176 senna is a giant?
You have several choices:
