I want to try Delilah's at least, if it sucks we can meander over somewhere else.
― n/a, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 19:14 (twelve years ago) link
Totes. I just like contingency plans.
So what are we going to do if there's an unexpected, sudden, and apocalyptic blizzard while we're at Delilah's?
― wore glasses and said things (thejenny), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 20:41 (twelve years ago) link
If I didn't live in Chicago, I would totally want a Malort shirt. I would kind of feel like a tool wearing it around here, though.

What is our contingency plan if the DJ plays the song "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's?

Answer: burn down Lincoln Park.

JOHN: have you heard/read about Tha Grimm Teachaz album? It's supposedly a lost rap album recorded for a major label but shelved in 1993, recently rediscovered and rereleased. In reality it's Serengeti and a couple of other dudes doing straight 1993-style rap (like Cypress Hill/early Wu-Tang) and it's also the origin story the Serengeti character who does "Dennehy." all the cultural references are circa the early 1990s and the guest rappers are old dudes who were rapping at the time, like son doobie. It's pretty fun.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jY5TRfNi7Y

you can also stream the album on bandcamp and they have a bunch of videos on youtube

I think I read about it but haven't heard -- thx for the tip!
― jaymc, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 21:11 (twelve years ago) link
i don't know if it'll be your thing but thought you might be amused by the dennehy connection

A vendor gave me a gift bag that included this toy beach chair, in which, per Jenny's request, I am letting my Wite Out relax.

wow that's a large image. sorry.
Your White Out has never looked happier. It's positively glowing!
― wore glasses and said things (thejenny), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 21:52 (twelve years ago) link
Ah, the beach chair is for a cell phone, according to the rep's email.
Her email tone was weird. It almost sounds flirty.
Thank you so much for taking a moment out of your busy day this morning to meet with me! It was a pleasure chatting with you for a bit in the conference room. I hope you’ll get good use from the Starbucks card. I seem to need that caffeine fix right after lunch…and then again at 3pm… I hope your cell phone is in your little beach chair too!

I think our boss just gave us off on Friday!!!

we get out at 3 on friday which is cool except i'm flying out of ohare at 8 and was planning to go straight from work to the airport. i don't want to come home because it's more awkward to get to ohare from my house. so i guess i'll go to a museum or a movie or wander around wicker park for a little bit.
― n/a, Thursday, 22 December 2011 01:08 (twelve years ago) link
i feel surprisingly good this morning, aside from a little tired. i went to the diner near my house this morning and had an omelet and potatoes, which i think helped.
― n/a, Friday, 23 December 2011 17:59 (twelve years ago) link
I was tired and headachey this morning, but I drank some coffee and that helped. Now I just want to go home. Also I'm annoyed at how obscenely productive I'm being today. I have churned out more work this morning than I sometimes finish in two days.
― wore glasses and said things (thejenny), Friday, 23 December 2011 18:07 (twelve years ago) link
I made it through without a trace of a hangover. I could go for a nap, but that's no different from any day.
― Sandbox Jesse, Friday, 23 December 2011 19:18 (twelve years ago) link
I think the plan for the rest of the day is:
ShowerTake shirts to cleanersHaircutSit at the neat little locally-owned tea shop and organize my Firefox bookmarks.
― Sandbox Jesse, Friday, 23 December 2011 19:20 (twelve years ago) link
i'm eating a chipotle burrito. i decided that i will go straight to o'hare when i get out at 3 and gamble on trying to get put on an earlier flight. it's too cold outside to wander around.
― n/a, Friday, 23 December 2011 19:34 (twelve years ago) link
I'm bored. Who is in town this weekend? I want to do some shit. I want to see people and I want to see life.
― Sandbox Jesse, Friday, 23 December 2011 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
Jesse: me too! We could do that kind of thing together, if you would have any part of that.

Heaven help, my parents gave my grandmother a laptop and set up an email account for her for Christmas.
― wore glasses and said things (thejenny), Friday, 23 December 2011 21:32 (twelve years ago) link
I'm at Ohare and through security 3.5 hours before my departure time. My flight doesnt even have a gate yet. But there's a semi competent lite jazz band playing Xmas carols.
― n/a, Friday, 23 December 2011 22:20 (twelve years ago) link
And directly across from the band, seats with electrical outlets!
― n/a, Friday, 23 December 2011 22:23 (twelve years ago) link
This band is not very good.
― n/a, Friday, 23 December 2011 22:25 (twelve years ago) link
Oh shit they're doing a seriously awful blues jam now. I guess they didn't learn enough Christmas songs.

Haha, it took a minute for me to figure out that the image had been replaced. V. funny with the wrong one. What was the image supposed to be?

It was Michael J Fox totally shredding in the prom scene from Back to the Future.

We are at Maria's in Bridgeport and it is everything I hoped for and more. Also I might be drunk.
Amanda how was Ikea? Normally I'd be on that invitation but we were just there not too long ago.

i have one of your records and i cherish it
before today we were using this "coffee table" i made for dan for his 25th birthday to hold the stereo -- and knowing me, you know that tables/precision work/carpentry is not my strong suit. it was ridiculously conceived, painted red and aqua, and covered in superman comics and that lacquer people use to make decoupage or cover the wood on a bar. still, we've been using this monstrosity to hold the stereo for all this time.
today, on this very day, we have graduated to expedit.
