Oh wait. Apparently it was all just wacky activity on the street. She said CTA is fine.

the offender was armed with a snub-nosed revolver, a knife, and a hammer. he was shot to death by the cops. he may also have shot himself.

Rumors kill thread.

going home kills thread.

Enough filth/hilarity for one day -- I'm going home! Actually that's a lie, I'm going to eat pork dumplings with Carly. See you popsicles later!

Hi Rob.

There isn't much to do downtown. I'm not feeling particularly inspired so I'm just going to state the sort-of-obvious and say go to Wicker Park (northside Damen stop on the Blue Line). There's lots to do there. The Damen/Division area has bars, but it'll also be clogged with hipsters. There are a few good spots, like Small Bar, Rainbo, and Gold Star. Others will probably dispute my choices (and rightly so) but that's what springs to mind at the moment.

Keep us updated, maybe some of us will come out?

What's the name of that bar where we went with Pete Smith where Jeff got Kravitzed? That's a pretty good bar for the location.

Or SHIT, go to Old Timers! Lake and Michigan.

I'm revisiting my childhood by watching Letterman clips on YouTube. The best is when he obviously hates the whole idea of the bit.

Saw Clerks II tonight. It was good. Goodbye Horses was kind of great.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Saturday, 9 December 2006 06:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Aw hell. Here's the clip itself. I love the "Oooh!"

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Saturday, 9 December 2006 06:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Whaaat?

"Goodbye Horses" was released as a single in 1991 together with the b-side song "White Lines"

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Saturday, 9 December 2006 06:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I think we're having two different conversations.

Aw hell. Here's the clip itself.

Where?

Oops.

I sure wish this tea was coffee.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Saturday, 9 December 2006 17:56 (seventeen years ago) link

haha

Coffee is plentiful in these parts. Go get some.

I just made vodka pasta for lunch. I don't think there's anything that smells quite as good as onions and garlic being fried in a little oil.

In-building laundry is a whole new way to do laundry. I realize now that the main reason I always let my dirty clothes stack up to the sky was because it was a giant pain in the ass to wash them. I thought it was because I was inherently lazy or something. No. It really IS a pain in the ass. It's not just me.

So anyway, now that I don't have to go down the street or (yikes) six blocks away like I did at my last place, laundry is no longer an event. It's just a couple of dollars that you spend during a time that you'd be hanging around at home anyway. This is the way it should be.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Saturday, 9 December 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan, you are so right. And I don't even LIKE onions! I made a 3-egg scram with tomato, havarti, and scallions, and then went to the farmers' market and bought like 15 lbs of apples??? WTF? Guess I'm making pies tomorrow.

If any of youse live in the 60657 area code, you can get free laundry - pick up and delivery - from Mud Room until 1/31. http://www.mud-room.com/

I got one of those stupid money saver junk mails last week and actually opened because it was either that or study and LO. Free laundry. They are coming next Thursday at 9 AM to pick up our dirties. They are dropping it off clean at 5:30 that evening. For free.

Couldn't have come at a better time, either!

Generally, I really like doing laundry. I even like going to the laundromat. But exam time ruins everything, so I used the Spin Cycle's drop off service last week and this free thing next week.

You'd think that two cats would mean twice as much litterbox to clean, right? But it's more like three times as much. With one cat, I clean the box every other day and it's no worry. I'm cleaning the box every day now, and there's enough pee an poop to put my one little kitty to shame. This a pee-stravaganza. A poop-tacular.

You know what's awesome? Cranberry juice.

You know what else is awesome? Pulp-free orange juice mixed with lemon-flavored sparkling mineral water. Cocktails in the afternoon, yo.

Hi. This is probably a longshot, but is anyone interested in going to see the Chicago Blackhawks v. Detroit Red Wings ice hockey contest on Thursday evening? I am considering it.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Sunday, 10 December 2006 23:58 (seventeen years ago) link

How much are tickets?

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Monday, 11 December 2006 00:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Last time I went we got the cheap seats, day of the game. They were $10.

Tonight I did something that will enormously impact my life. I turned the radiator off in my bedroom. Oh, I know it sounds silly, but you just don't know. That thing was a monster. It made my nights hell, and there was no knob on it. It woke me up in the early morning, incredibly hot but unable to sweat, parched, gasping. Well, today I got a wrench, and everything will be better from now on. Tonight I will sleep. Tonight will be totally different. I will remember this night better than my wedding night.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 11 December 2006 06:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I did this hours ago, the turning off, but at the time I did it, it worried me. I felt the radiator getting cooler, but then I walked around and felt that all of the other radiators were also getting cooler. Had I done it wrong? Had I turned the gas valve in the wrong direction? Of course, the heat was off all over the building at the time. I did not know that for sure then.

It wasn't until about half an hour ago that I really had confirmation. The radiator in my bathroom was hot as a curling iron, and the one in my living room was hot as all bleeding hell. BUT... the one in my bedroom remained room temperature. YES! YESSSSSSSS! WOO BLOODY FUCKING HOO! I will not wake up at five in the morning unable to breathe because my room is ridiculously, punishingly hot!

You can't imagine how happy I am.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 11 December 2006 06:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm so happy I could fuck a pumpkin.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 11 December 2006 06:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm still walking into my bedroom every few minutes to put my hands all over the radiator and feel its coolness, as if I can't quite believe it. Oh, so cool. Oh, so totally off. Oh.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 11 December 2006 07:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Mornin'.

Mourning.

Did someone die?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 11 December 2006 15:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Speaking of death, I'm reading a book called Corpse. I'm learning all about forensic pathology, and in the process, all about what happens to a dead body. Grim and totally fascinating.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 11 December 2006 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Ooh, I'll read that one eventually -- it looked good. I still have to find that book about rats, too. (Such pleasant reading from us -- is Nick still waiting to read my book about poison? Sarah, you might want to pack your own lunches for a while.)

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 11 December 2006 15:52 (seventeen years ago) link

No, no one died. I'm just kidding.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 11 December 2006 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I put that poison book on my amazon wishlist too. I hope my inlaws aren't freaked out.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 11 December 2006 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Corpse is GREBT

Also, good morning.

I went to a lot of gay bars this weekend. It was interesting.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 11 December 2006 15:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Why do all these homosexuals keep sucking my cock?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 11 December 2006 16:00 (seventeen years ago) link

ha ha

Yeah, Nick still wants to read that. He looked for it at the library, but they didn't have it (at all - it wasn't checked out either). Also, it's on his amazon wishlist.

― Calico (calico), Monday, 11 December 2006 16:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Corpse is wonderful. I am pretty sure I still have it somewhere if anyone wants to borrow it.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 11 December 2006 16:12 (seventeen years ago) link

how are you holding up wrt finals, Jenny?

hi everyone!

Tired. I'm halfway done, though. One on Friday then the big paper on the 19th. Then freedom, sweet freedom.
