Hey, when do Jeff and Jenny get back?

No, it only lives on through my rewiring.

I have found that the easiest way to clean cat hair off of cloth, such as rugs and couches, is with a slightly damp sponge, especially one with a rough Brillo side. The problem is you have to keep rinsing the cat hair off the sponge.

Nick -- I never thought of using a sponge. I happen to have a bunch of them around. With a rough side. I'll try that. Yer teh best housewife ever.

― Learn to ignore what the photographer saw (kenan), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I will try that too. I've tried lint rolling, vacuuming, etc.

I just got a weird phone call. Monique from the office, who nobody really likes anyway except for our old pervert boss, who only likes her because she's a tall blonde with fake tits. Anyway, she a total dizzy dingbat, and she called me and said "Hey, Kenan! You wanna come to the office tomorrow and help me move boxes?!" She was loud, in some kind of bar, and clearly drunk. I said, "Um... I'm not really in the mood to move boxes. What's the angle?" She said, "Well, I can't find any guys to move things for me this week." I said, "That's because we're all on vacation." She stuttered a little as she said, "Wait, this isn't Joe?" "No, it's not Joe." Honey, you called me by my name. You knew exactly who you were trying to sucker into this shit work. I said, "That's a good idea, though. You call Joe. He's big and strong."

Weird. This can't be company sanctioned behavior.

it's drunk behavior, bro.

― baby wizard sex (gbx), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 21:49 (seventeen years ago) link

It's obviously drunken behavior, but even then, it's weird. It's like, nobody really likes you. You want people to help you make? Make some friends first.

― Learn to ignore what the photographer saw (kenan), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 21:58 (seventeen years ago) link

people to help you MOVE, i meant

TT @ T(uman's)? I might get into town too late :( Somebody txt me and let me know what's up.

Kev, I misunderstood due to reading too fast, I thought you were talking about tomorrow.

Let me know if anything's happening then, I guess!

Jesse is an old fuddy duddy.

We're home.

Hi, Home!

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 28 December 2006 04:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I am so sorry, bad jokes are all the energy I have tonight.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 28 December 2006 04:36 (seventeen years ago) link

HELLO. I missed you all. I still want to go out for TT tomorrow! Anywhere! I don't work so I am not limited by geography or work clothes. I can't read six days worth of ILX messages so if you hockey pucks want to go out tomorrow, say so!

My parents have a dedicated mini ice maker machine just for their bar area. I miss it so much!!!

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 28 December 2006 04:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Fuddy duddy?

I have a bruise on my forearm the size of a half-dollar, it's been there since Sunday morning. What happened? I never got totally wasted.

The apartment is pretty fucking clean. I did more spackling. AND I caulked my leaky shoe. Would that I could maintain cleanliness; alas I am a man of extremes and this is a long-running trait.

By the way--flip-flops and shorts are way way better for cleaning than a bathrobe.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 28 December 2006 05:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Really, why did you call me a fuddy duddy of all things???

So I hung out with JW tonight, and he's just about the nicest guy in the world. I mean, not to lay it on too thick or anything. He's ok, though.

The only strange point I guess was when I started making bald jokes and Kevin started kicking me under the table. Yeah, it's tacky. But come on. He once basically called me the worst human being in the world. A bald joke or two ain't gonna kill him.

We took a cab home together. We're all good. Until next year.

― Learn to ignore what the photographer saw (kenan), Thursday, 28 December 2006 06:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, I made the mistake of talking computers with him. He... well... ouch... he just knows way more than me about this. He was so nice about it, but I knew I was getting pwned, little by little, minute by minute.

― Learn to ignore what the photographer saw (kenan), Thursday, 28 December 2006 06:09 (seventeen years ago) link

So the final score is:

John Williams: bald.

Kenan Hebert: not earning near as much per year as John Williams.

― Learn to ignore what the photographer saw (kenan), Thursday, 28 December 2006 06:10 (seventeen years ago) link

He's bald?

I didn't expect to make it beyond Best Buy and then dinner, but Courtney and I ate at Dunl@y's on Clark (yuuummmmy grilled veggies the Killer Wild Rice) and returned to BB where beer greased the wheels of her credit card and we got her a wireless router and an external hard drive and then we went to Mikey's on Broadway (see Wine Markups thread for interesting photo of their BYOMeat advertisement).

Anyway, I'm sorry that I didn't make it tonight.

Why would JW make himself seem like such a douche online if he actually is not worthless in person?

Internalized baldness?

Kenan--today in my cleaning spree, nay -- BENDER -- I found so many of your things. Let's get together, tour your apartment and give you back your stuff. It's taking up 1/3 of my sectional.

Actually, no. I work the double tomorrow. And Friday. I'm off Saturday. Let's try to arrange some FUNZONE (usage?) for Saturday when I'm off.

WTF: I just found out tonight that Courtney is in NC 2 weekends in a row.

Best Music Video Evar.

I was on the bus tonight next to 2 aging gay men whose conversation about the good old gay days in Chicago was enough to make me pause my iPod. "Awww...Man's Country...I remember when Charlie opened that place up--I was the 2nd man in line--well, actually probably 10th, but still. We should go to Man's Country and take the steam again."

BELLS BEER COSTS 3 AMERICAN DOLLARS FOR A 22 OZ GLASS HERE WTF IS UP WITH CHICAGO BEER PRICEZ

I think I have ranted about UP beer prices vs. Chicago beer prices before, so that's old news. But seriously: Winter White. Big glasses. Three bones. What a great deal!

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 28 December 2006 07:21 (seventeen years ago) link

No Bells here at all anymore, doncha know, eh.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 28 December 2006 07:36 (seventeen years ago) link

You know what is kind of surpising(and maybe a part of the post-911 US)? Grocery stores in (L.P.) Michigan have started posting signs saying that they will not accept Canadian coins. What kind of bullshit is that? Everything up to 99¢ Canadian was always OK in my growing-up years. When I moved to NC and they refused my QE2 coins I was pissed.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 28 December 2006 08:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Waaah, chriiist eh?

I was telling some Kalamazooers that story tonight and they didn't believe me!

I love the exchange upthread where Jesse types "ily" and I pretend that it means something.

Good morning, Chicago. I love this city.

Hey. Sorry I couldn't come out with you guys last night. I've had a really rough week: family drama over the holidays and then me making myself anxious for no good reason over the last couple days. So meeting someone new wasn't high up on my list of priorities, although I'd like to see Jon before he leaves town.

I ended up at Simon's last night, where the glögg was not as good as I remembered it (or perhaps just not as good, or strong, as the glögg we get at work), but I was able to relax a bit. This morning I'm feeling jittery again, though. Fuck.
