I totally laughed at the quote from Sarah about how badly it messed her up for her mom to get into Def Leppard and Nick's Boyracer obsession.

I'm depressed/angry as fuck, I don't think I'll be on ILX the rest of the day. Have a good weekend/New Year all.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

That's just horrible.

He's not even the first person FROM THAT BAND to get shot. New Orleans is so fucked.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Damn. It was 5:30 in the afternoon. Was he robbed or anything, or was this just random?

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I have no idea. I know exactly where that block is too. Doesn't sound like he was robbed but I want to know if it was random or if someone had it in for him specifically.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I wondered that too. I used to drive there (Dumaine and Broad) daily and at all hours.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 29 December 2006 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry to kill thread. I'm at home drinking a beer and trying to get my mind right before going back to work.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Did you know him personally?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I wasn't his best friend or anything but I went to see him play a bunch of times, sent some stuff down after the hurricane, listened to his recordings about eight million times. Some other guys in my band know him from way farther back, played in the same band, etc.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 19:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Please start talking about minutiae again people

How about this: my housemate got norovirus over Xmastime (actually Christmas morning) and so did his entire family. They all had to go to the ER to be rehydrated after spending literally hours on end puking. He says he lost close to 12 pounds over the course of a couple days due to not being able to keep anything down (and he's a skinny guy already). Also, he passed out (while puking), fell down in the bathroom, and got a concussion!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ WORST XMAS EVER

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 19:56 (seventeen years ago) link

To top it all off, he's still contagious apparently! I'm nervous as hell!

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 19:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry, that's a little disgusting I know... but man oh man oh man I hope I'm safe.

Tho I could stand to lose a few lbs.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 20:02 (seventeen years ago) link

That's what I was thinking. That I could stand to lose a few pounds, not you.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 29 December 2006 20:09 (seventeen years ago) link

So if you get it and you're contagious, I'll come over.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 29 December 2006 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan: norovirus is spread via fecal-oral contact
I'm just saying
me: oh dear
yet you say you're worried about contracting it from your roommate
Dan: apparently it can be spread via other means (sneezing or whatever) but that is the primary vector
me: is there something you'd like to tell me, dan?
Dan: CORPROPHAGIA
me: you naugthy boy

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 29 December 2006 20:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I knew you were going to do that

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 20:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm predictable.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 29 December 2006 20:35 (seventeen years ago) link

And you used me as a means of letting the world know your secret.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 29 December 2006 20:39 (seventeen years ago) link

IT'S TRUE I HAVE WANTED TO TELL YOU ALL FOR SO LONG

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 20:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Guess I killed the thread pretty dead too

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 20:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan, I'm so sorry. Somebody doesn't have to be your best friend to have an impact on your life, you know? Grief is grief. What a fucking shame, too.

Sorry to re-seriousify the thread.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming: Um, Dan... gross.

So, then shall we plan to meet up at the Beat Kitchen? Jesse has already promised me he would go. Doors open at 4:30.

We're about to go see a movie, either Children of Men or Pan's Labyrinth. Yay movies!

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Friday, 29 December 2006 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Um, Dan... gross.

if we can't joek about shit eating on the internets, the terrorists have already won

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I really want to see Children of Men.

Another time when I like my job: trying to figure out whether "Ninja Turtles" needs to be written out as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

(Editor says it does.)

GR--N Z-BR-A in 2.5 hours. Currently salivating.

And listening to a recording I made in 1997. I plugged my keyboard into a guitar amp for the first time and tried to do some sort of distorted organ slather, no doubt influenced by Yo La Tengo. For some reason, though, the jam also features me horribly "scratching" my vinyl copy of Saturday Night Fever, so that occasionally you hear "stayin' a... stay- ... stayin' ali- ..."

What are you posting on -- phone or laptop?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 22:52 (seventeen years ago) link

lapdance.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 29 December 2006 22:54 (seventeen years ago) link

what's going on tonight?

For me, for now, video games and beerz. I feel like I haven't really sat still for a week. But I'm up for doing something in a while after I've sufficently numbed my brain.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 22:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Children of Men is one of those movies where I got burned out on seeing the preview too many times (both times I saw The Departed, both times I saw Miami Vice, when I saw Babel and maybe one or two other times), especially because it seemed to give away much of the story. But now the reviews are so good that I'll probably see it.

Hi, just popping in to wish everyone a happy old year while I still have the chance.

My friend B. saw an interview with the F--- F-------s in the Reader and clipped it to send to me. That was nice of him, no?

That is all.

― Casuistry (casuistry), Saturday, 30 December 2006 02:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Children of Men was okay.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Saturday, 30 December 2006 03:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Otto/K and I are meeting at teh Holiday Club at 10 if anyone's interested.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Saturday, 30 December 2006 03:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Children of Men was a fuck of a lot better than Another Gay Movie, which we just suffered through because we made the mistake of letting Jesse pick the evening's cinematic entertainment.

That movie was so bad I want to walk down Halstead and do some bashing.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Saturday, 30 December 2006 04:53 (seventeen years ago) link

What a terrible terribleterer;afkj;sdkflj movie. I'm so sorry. I didn't think it would be good, but I didn't think it would be as completely truly horrible as it was.

― Jesse on Jeff's (Jeff...), Saturday, 30 December 2006 04:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I did warn J/J that they probably wouldn't want to see it. I just didn't know that I wouldn't want to see it. (Jaymc, look away)--I want that 2 hrs of my life back.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Saturday, 30 December 2006 05:00 (seventeen years ago) link

OOPS. THAT WAS JESSE ABOVE..... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

― Jesse on Jeff's (Jeff...), Saturday, 30 December 2006 05:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Was Scott Thompson good at least?

― JordanC (JordanC), Saturday, 30 December 2006 05:02 (seventeen years ago) link

He was OK I guess. Nothing special.

Wow. When a concert lets out at the Aragon the Red line and the Lawrence stop become hellish.

Worst was new years' eve a few years ago, 'Moe.' was at the Aragon and I was going from Wilmette to my place near Clark/Division in the middle of the night. Helped some partiers get to their hotel, at least.

I went home last night but Sayjal convinced me to go out and get a beer at SoFo. I had a double Blue Moon and we played darts. While we were there who should appear but the guy who wanted to penetrate Sheila and me at Big Chicks.

There was a bizzare crowd at SoFo--they were just like douchebag Wrigleyville guys--loud, sporty, stripey shirts, hooting, saying things like "Bro" and giving high fives--but they were gay.

Ate some yummy and very cheap tacos at at El Quijote.

I've been eating a lot of German food lately. Sure puts the fucking weight on, whether it tastes good or not. All German food is the same. There is no German food out there that is healthier than McDonalds. Learned that the hard way.
