Sorry, I'm the bitter one today.

i have a pact with her. if sarah cracknell comes a-callin', i get one 'exception'. also: if francoise hardy circa '64 appears.

I don't know who my celebrity exemption is. I think hers is David Duchovny.

I probably shouldn't have told you guys that.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm going to call my record "How to Bake the Big Cookie".

That's such a sad story, John! (and gear!)
My 3-yr relationship in college ended with a breakup on my birthday (me being the dumpee). It was a complete shock.

In 5 days, it will be my 8 year 3 monthiversary with Nick.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:46 (seventeen years ago) link

i think hers is what's his name from luna.

i had a girl break up w/me on my 23rd birthday. she was an "older woman" and immediately started dating another dude named kevin in a delightful bit of foreshadowing.

― chicago kevin is back in a new york groove (chicago kevin), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I met him about a month before we started going out, but I'm not 100% positive.

Jordan, we usually do make pizza from scratch, but everyone gave this place rave reviews so we tried it.

They're giving away mini chocolates outside of Borders on State, and it's yummy.

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Kevin, I dated a guy briefly in high school who ended up having a second girlfriend (ie: at the same time) also named Sarah.

a-hole.

lol @ Duchovny drag

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:01 (seventeen years ago) link

I am listening to Echo & the Bunnymen. Why? I don't know.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:10 (seventeen years ago) link

DAN, YOU MUST WAIT UNTIL YOU GIVE YOURSELF TO HIM.

― chicago kevin is back in a new york groove (chicago kevin), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I was going to say it sounds surprisingly like the Arcade Fire. But I don't get the reference, sorry. I think this is the first time I've ever listened to them.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Have you not heard "Lips Like Sugar"?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:13 (seventeen years ago) link

dan, it's from "killing moon".

― chicago kevin is back in a new york groove (chicago kevin), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:14 (seventeen years ago) link

J, no, it's not on this record (I'm listening to some co-worker's iTunes library).

"The Killing Moon" is up in a couple tracks though. I'm going to fast forward to it 'cause I think I can get out of here early again today since my boss is gons.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:15 (seventeen years ago) link

D. Cooper's chin is so bite-able.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought that "Lips Like Sugar" was kind of famous. I sort of mentally group it with "So Alive" by Love and Rockets. Probably just songs I heard on WXRT or early '90s Q101.

I think I first heard "Killing Moon" when Pavement covered it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:20 (seventeen years ago) link

my older sister LOVED echo and the bunnymen in high school/college.

― chicago kevin is back in a new york groove (chicago kevin), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:23 (seventeen years ago) link

I sort of mentally group it with "So Alive" by Love and Rockets.

There's maybe a larger category that also includes "Beds Are Burning" by Midnight Oil and "Under the Milky Way" by the Church.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:25 (seventeen years ago) link

And "Cuts You Up" by Peter Murphy.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:26 (seventeen years ago) link

i.e., Anglo-oriented modern rock from the late 80s with portentous booming baritone vocals.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:28 (seventeen years ago) link

You guys were busy today.

I get done with class on Thursdays at... 2:45. Yes. That's right. 2:45. Academics? Unemployed? Servers? Those with PTO to burn? Join me.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:47 (seventeen years ago) link

That's tomorrow, I mean. And in response to Dan's question above. And also we were slacking by planning happy hour so late last week.

Also, I like The Refused.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:48 (seventeen years ago) link

― bohren un der club of gear (bohren un der club of gear), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:50 (seventeen years ago) link

9 maybe??

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Thank you, stranger, for putting that copier tech talk into a language I can understand!

I just had someone from career services suggest that we host a panel of women attorneys to talk about balancing family and work life or how to keep your career on track after having children. We have had three panels of women attorneys speak on those subjects just this year.

It's a stunning concept that women might be interested in the actual substance of the law instead of how we can have jobs and babies at the same time.

xp: 10 - 15?

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 22:51 (seventeen years ago) link

My bff Lynn talked to Ian McCulloch on the radio and he invited her "backstage" at his show in Cleveland and then reneged when he found out that she was 15.

THe end. Happy Valentine's Day.

You all better not forget to list me this time or someone's getting jacked in the jackballs.

I just jump-started the car of the dude who helped me with my key situation yesterday. Karma is real.
