CHICAGO: If Hepatitis C Were Attacking Your Face Instead of Your Liver You'd Be Doing Something About It

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.

fuck me in the goat ass.

Why do you have to go to crate and barrel?

hahahaha!

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.

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.

Laurel! SOrry I missed your txt. I was at the goddamned grocery store when i finally saw it.

Hey how much is the cover for your band?

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.

I am feeling much better about being stuck at the airport after 2 bloody marys (consumed at 10am, special airport rules).

re: cover
oh, that's fine! i'm glad to support you and am very thankful that you will provide entertainment for my parents, because i had no idea what to do with them. they're excited!

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.

GOD THAT COVER.

(although I swear that I actually read this in Parade magazine at some point)

Both had first marriages where their goal was "to get along." But introspection and angst pay off, Julia says: "The rough spots always lead us to a closer place."

whoa crazy xposting.

has anyone ever done ebay sniping? i'm kind of tempted to.

LOL @ one gin and tonic to help you read. Shamefully, I can identify.

One of my coworkers just complained about all the alcohol she is getting from the subcontractors. 'I mean, COME ON! I HARDLY EVEN DRINK!' Give it here, lady.

separated at birth?
