Maggie Valley is a place in the Blue Ridge mountains that is a big tourist draw. I've never been, but I think it's just a really quaint, quiet, cute town with lots of jam and apple butter.

I've seen House twice and it was nearly unbearable, the show, the guy, take your pick. No, actually, don't take your pick, I will: the guy.

Jeez. What is it you have against arrogant assholes? :)

Speaking of Dawson's Creek and Undeclared: man, Monica Keena is so hot.

It's an apple butter marketer calling you.

My grandparents used to take trips to Maggie Valley. They would go to the Stomping Ground, a dance place, predominately clogging/bluegrass related.

i checked a map and it's close enough where it could conceivably be some people i know in asheville but if it was them they would've left me a message.

My relatively good day was just totally ruined. The news a couple of months ago was that the CIO was leaving, and his stranglehold on the IT department and all things web would finally end and I'd have more responsibility. He hired a replacement for himself, and I had meetings with the replacement, and really liked the guy. It looked like something would actually happen that would be really good for me.

Well, I just got an email from the President saying that he's "happy to announce" that the new head of IT would be his sister (!) and that the CIO isn't leaving after all. I'm crushed. Things won't just be the same, they'll be more the same than ever before. I'm seriously depressed about this. I don't want to have to look for another job. But this little development means no new position, no raises, nothing but more and more being squeezed out. This fucking sucks.

WHO TH' FUCK DECIDES TO RETIRE, HIRES A REPLACEMENT, AND THEN CHANGES HIS MIND JUST BECAUSE HE'S A CONTROL FREAK?

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:55 (seventeen years ago) link

CRAZY ASSHOLES,THAT'S WHO.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I'M SO DEPRESSED I'M LISTENING TO PET SOUNDS. THIS IS NOT GOOD.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I WANT TO GO HOME.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:58 (seventeen years ago) link

YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK. Oh, you didn't mean that home.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:02 (seventeen years ago) link

That sucks, dude.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I really like Six Feet Under.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I have some interest in TT. I would like to take a yoga class at 4 pm but could probably be convinced to rearrange that.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:07 (seventeen years ago) link

If the CIO should ever leave you,
Your life would still go on, believe you.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I am not drinking for a while. I could still go out I guess, but I shouldn't be out in public lest I spend money.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Dammit, I want to go to yoga at 4 AND go to TT but that's just not practical.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:16 (seventeen years ago) link

how long does yoga take and where is it?

― otto midnight has a pudding problem (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:17 (seventeen years ago) link

FRIDAY 1/12/2007 SCHUBAS CHICAGO 9PM 18+

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Yoga takes an hour and a half and is four blocks from my abode.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh man, the four blocks thing is deadly.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:21 (seventeen years ago) link

What about TT at Friar Tucks or Monsignor Murphy's or one of those near your abode?

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Yoga takes an hour and a half and is four blocks from my abode.

Maybe you could just meditate/relax/center/whatever really quickly?

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:22 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost Or Brother Booze or Monks and Drunks?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:23 (seventeen years ago) link

If those bars existed I would totally go.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:24 (seventeen years ago) link

four blocks from jenny's abode = another timezone from tt's. :(

that was the only date listed? i can't remember when jered said they were playing boston, it's either the 27th or 29th.

― otto midnight has a pudding problem (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Bars in the Jesuit District.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:25 (seventeen years ago) link

That was the only date listed.

The Jesuits can drink, no doubt.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:26 (seventeen years ago) link

goddamn it, i will say the new web filters are VERY good at what they do, i can't get to anything good. can't find shit about dick in this motherfuck.

xpost- i was raised by jesuits! it's true!

― otto midnight has a pudding problem (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Jesuits raise wild men.

I've been curious about this Irish pub that I've seen a bunch of times right at Belmont and Sheridan, on the ground floor of some high-rise. It seems so other-worldly over there, and, even though I'm sure it's generic inside, I'd like to check it out sometime.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:30 (seventeen years ago) link

So can the Christian Brothers:

(Fun fact: my dad was in the Christian Bros. seminary for a year in the mid-1960s.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Monks and Drunks

This is a great name for a bar. Really.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Eric, are you talking about Bridget McNeill's? I went there with Renee once.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:32 (seventeen years ago) link

(I just noticed that the first comment on that Chicagoist article is from M. C@lv3rt.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:33 (seventeen years ago) link

is monks on lake street still open? i used to see it from the green line, i think it's west of clark & lake and either just before or just after the rive?

― otto midnight has a pudding problem (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, yes, Bridget McNeill's is it.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I think Monk's is still around. That would be a good TTs as well. It seems like the Loop version of Moody's to me.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I want to go to Bridget McNeill's. And Monk's. And Old Timer's. I like bars.

If my dumb yoga studio had some early morning classes, this wouldn't be a problem.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:36 (seventeen years ago) link

i want to go to a different neighborhood for the next tt's so if we have it up by jenny & jeff's that's cool. i just need to allot some extra travel time.

― otto midnight has a pudding problem (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I read that big Reader article on the Bell's dingus today, it was interesting.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I love Monk's. Yeah, it's still open. Last time I was there, one of the people I was with knew the owner, and we got freebies all night. Sweet.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:41 (seventeen years ago) link

― otto midnight has a pudding problem (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:42 (seventeen years ago) link

shit, hold that story, i gotta go.

I have been really bemoaning the lack of good beer selection in this shit hole town lately.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Nothing happened at Tuman's, far as I know. I found a scarf.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:47 (seventeen years ago) link

OH MY GOD REALLY???

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Is the beer selection in liquor stores limited too?
