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!

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."

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'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.

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.

― Eazy (Eazy), Saturday, 30 December 2006 01:59 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

― Eazy (Eazy), Saturday, 30 December 2006 08:36 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

cats love me.

Who's going to the Beat Kitchen? What time are ya'll getting there? Let's meet up.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Saturday, 30 December 2006 20:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Sarah and I will be there sometime between 4:30 and 5:00.

I have a $15 iTunes gift certificate, recommend me an album to download.

― n/a (n/a), Saturday, 30 December 2006 21:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Hm. Having a hard time imagining what you don't already have. Do you have Lindstrom? I like that one a lot.

Also, Chicago II.

― they call me candle guy (kenan), Saturday, 30 December 2006 21:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Electrelane, Axes?

― Eazy (Eazy), Saturday, 30 December 2006 21:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I love Axes.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Saturday, 30 December 2006 22:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, you've recommended something to me, anyway.

― they call me candle guy (kenan), Saturday, 30 December 2006 22:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Speaking os Chicago II, I wrote my dad earlier today and thanked him for it. Because Jeff was listening to Chicago Transit Authority when I was there the other night, and we were both like, "This is great shit." And then he asked me what else he should download, in a very general way, and I was, "My dad always loved Chicago II." So Jeff snagged it.

It didn't come in in time for me to here it that night, but I downloaded it today, then sat there thinking about the excellent taste in music that dad had once upon a time, and I wrote him a little thank-you note. MAN, that's a good record. The whole progression on side 2 from "Make Me Smile" back around to the end of that song... it all just kicks my ass.

Imagine Jimmy Hendrix crossed with Blood Sweat and Tears. Only better than what you're imagining.

Hello Chicago. I am in you for 24 hours. I know Mr. Dan the Yooper in case I need a password or something to post on this thread as a non-Chicagoan.

Anyway, it is New Year's Eve, and I doubt anyone is going to see this, but if anyone could suggest the best possible option for take-out Indian food on New Year's Day it would be great. If not I'm just going to drive up to Devon and see who's open.

― joygoat (joygoat), Monday, 1 January 2007 00:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I want to have as many people inside me as possible, for as long as possible.

― they call me Chicago (kenan), Monday, 1 January 2007 04:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Bhabi's Kitchen, 6352 N. Oakley Blvd - right off Devon. I love that place!

Happy new year, suckas! I really like you guys, and that's not just bad champagne talking. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: ILX yields quality humans.

Also, N&S - just FYI, apparently we DID see the British ending of The Descent! Whoa!

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 1 January 2007 07:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, happy new year! How'd the squash turn out? I stayed in and nursed my voice and watched the movie version of Mamet's Edmond - worth seeing.

― Eazy (Eazy), Monday, 1 January 2007 08:09 (seventeen years ago) link

happy ukcing new year!!!

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 1 January 2007 08:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Happy new year!

The squash risotto turned out pretty well, I think. I wouldn't make it every day because it's a little time consuming (and involves more delicious butter and cheese than I prefer to eat regularly) but it's a great, relatively easy special occasional dinner.

I'm excited because we have leftover champaign and leftover Italian bread and that can only mean one thing: mimosas and French toast for NYD brunch. Now I just have to wait for Jeff to wake up.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 1 January 2007 17:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm just going to drive up to Devon and see who's open.

If my Vietnamese neighborhood is any indication, you'll find that EVERYONE is WIDE open.

Last night every douchebag and his douchebag friend was out, but I found out that there is an escape--O'C@ll@han's on Hubbard has a bar on the 2nd floor that you access through a door marked "Employees Only" and it's industry-only and therefore way way less crowded and somewhat less douchey and the drinks are cheaper. Hoorah.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 1 January 2007 17:31 (seventeen years ago) link

And it's industry-only every night.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 1 January 2007 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Can I go?
