Do you (chilx) think customs/Homelnd Sec. will confiscate my little vial of perfume if it has a weird name?

Make sure it's all in a ziploc bag too if you're carrying it on. If you're checking the bag none of this matters.

hi Chicago. I'm hanging out at Midway airport all day because I missed my flight home! any of y'all flying away for the holidays: don't be an idiot like me; arrive more than an hour early for your flights.

That is also how you can tell I'm gay. I have a copy of All About Eve displayed prominently atop my television as we speak.

Btw it looks like we've graduated from the Heart o' Chicago motel and are staying at the Embassy Suites on State & Ohio. Walking distance to Ashkenaz?!

To continue a related email convo w/ Amanda on ILX - I tried wearing it to see if it worked magic with my body chemistry but no go. I seem to do best with spicy, foody smells or things that other people say smell like old lady perfume (my favorite mass market perfume EVER is Cinnabar by Este Lauder). Superduper florals might smell fine but they give me a headache. Super sweet smells just smell like I spilled something on myself.
The White Rabbit oil, without a doubt, is my favorite smell. It smells like food and spice and powdery old ladies all at once.
In summation, I also want to buy samples. Then we can have a smellin' party!
Also: Amanda, I am glad you stopped your migraine. I cannot even imagine how dreadful that would be, especially when you have to do other things like talk to people or breathe.
Also: HS, we're flying today and will heed your warning! Like I need any prompting to leave work early.

Check this out. Nick tracked his present for my mom, and it was delivered to our house back on Dec 8th, which means it was stolen. :-(
Yeah, horseshoe. That sucks being stuck at the airport!
Jenny & Amanda, we DEF need a smelling party. Also we could switch out less favorite smells perhaps.

I'm like Jesse. I get reverse SAD and get more depressed during the hot, stupid, horrible summer. I'm okay with spring on its own except that it means that hot, stupid, horrible summer is just around the corner.

I don't mind sweating a few months out of the year. It feels cleansing. Also, it's nice to get a little dirty sometimes. You appreciate showers more, for starters.

that's where the gift i was planning to get her are. which originally were going to be house warming gifts then birthday presents but i wound up getting something else for both of those. anyway, it's actually a somewhat thoughtful gift that i know she wants, needs, and will use. and since she's leaving for north carolina tomorrow we're exchanging presents tonight pre-show.

Hey, so we went to Chicago Diner last night. The service was fine (I think we got lucky) and the food was good. We ordered chips and guac as an app but it was RAW chips and guac - they made the chips by dolloping corn goo onto a tray and dehydrating it. They tasted fine, but then we finished those so she brought us some regular fried corn chips and it was like, "OH that's what this is supposed to taste like!"
Anyway, I think being a raw foodist would be very depressing.
― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 21 December 2006 17:51 (seventeen years ago) link
Those chips sound weird.
Nick and I ate at the Handlebar the other night and I was wondering why we don't go there more often. We both got the three sides plate, and I got us chips & dips for an app.

Sarah, enjoy yr presents! We get lots of edible stuff in my dept but everyone's on a diet so we try to spread the sugary, buttery cheer around the offices. The champagne's all mine, tho.

Hey how much is the cover for your band?
― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link
It's ten bucks. I wish I could put you on the list but we only get one slot per person, and I gave mine up because some dudes have lots of out-of-town family coming to the show.

I haven't been to Chicago Diner in a coon's age. I generally think other veggie restaurants do the fake-meat thing better, but their gazpacho is the best I've ever had.

My sudden, sharp rise in incidental alcohol consumption (like, oh I will watch some TV. And drink a beer! or I've got to pack, I think I'll drink a beer!) since I finished finals suggests that I might actually end up being one of those proverbial alcoholic attorneys.
