I'm back.

OK, so Jenny's professor said that she wondered if it was an economically viable place to rebuild since it was such a poor place to begin with and it was a drain on the country's resources even before the disaster.

I made the argument that it was culturally a very important place, and home to thousands of people, to which she responded that it's too bad it had to happen, but culture doesn't pay the bills.

I like the chicken. And the shrimp cake.

I'm starving.

Jesse just called me from the Green Mill, annoyed that no one else was there yet.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Saturday, 17 February 2007 02:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not going.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Saturday, 17 February 2007 02:14 (seventeen years ago) link

you don't go to the green mill at 8:00 unless you're in for the long haul, yo.

ok, so, Jordan's band gives me severe permagrin. There is no way to leave a show with a brass band like that and not feel happy. I said to someone else tonight: you can arrive at almost any other kind of show -- rock, Broadway, puppetry, what have you -- in a sour mood, and leave in pretty much the same mood if you really set your mind to it. Not so with this music. Brass bands force the happy out of you, like leeches. I am a believer in brass.

― Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone (kenan), Saturday, 17 February 2007 08:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok, not like leeches at all. I take back the leeches. Leeches are decidedly not happy things. I'm going to go practice my similes now. But I still love Jordan and his band.

Other other woman that was on Check, Please! (not the violinist from Chicago) was A-nnoying.

WHY AM I UP SO EARLY?? No matter, I will drink all the espresso.

That's almost a haiku.

Agreed.

E was great, though. And she's right on about L. Mitchell's. I just ate there this morning, even, and it's fine but it's nothing freaking special. Just an omelette, people, nothing to see here.

Some restaurants in Chicago are ignoring the FG ban and serving it anyway, or offering it as a "complimentary" accompaniment to a dish since only the sale of FG is banned. Hot Doug's was issued a warning letter which the owner framed and displays.

They should go out of business!

"In a world of very limited public health resources we're being asked to drop some things so we can enforce a law like this," Hadac [spokesman for the Health Department] said. "With HIV/AIDS, cancer, West Nile virus and some of the other things we deal with, foie gras is our lowest priority."

I wanted to go to Hot Doug's today but the Universe conspired against me.

I just bought wittle kitty beds for both kitties. This was after I noticed the smaller one sleeping in an unused paint pan I had left out, and it inspired pathos in me. I was like, "Oh, we can do better than this."

― teasing your poultry (kenan), Saturday, 17 February 2007 22:06 (seventeen years ago) link

YAY! kitty already discovered it, jumped in, and started making biscuits with her paws. She feels love.

― teasing your poultry (kenan), Saturday, 17 February 2007 22:08 (seventeen years ago) link

ok, she's back in my lap now. much as she love the cat bed, it does not generate heat. that's fine with me. they had heated beds (for about $70), but i can't afford that and don't even want it. if they have heat and furriness and a partially enclosed space, they will stay there forever and will only need me for food and will never use me for warmth again. this will equal sadness.

Dobbs!

Totally unrelated: You know what drives me nuts? When people who don't know did about how lawsuits work make a big stink about how "CRAAAAAZY" lawsuits are ruining the legal system. How can all these worthless lawsuits go to trial?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

THEY CANNOT HI DERE SUMMARY JUDGMENT

I mean, I know. I know! I'm in law skoo and thus have a specialized body of knowledge that most people don't have. So most people don't know about civil procedure. And that's okay!!! I don't want people to know about civil procedure, or else they won't need lawyers and then the student loan people will come and harvest my organs because I can't pay them back in real money. BUT IF THAT IS THE CASE, SHUT YR FAT MOUTH ABOUT IT, OKAY???
