The attendant asked him to please keep his voice down because he was disturbing other customers, to which the man shouted, "YOU ARE DISTURBING ME." He did tone it down a little, and sat down for awhile until he started shouting the Lord's Prayer. Then he bought a Pepsi and watched TV. Right before I left he did a little more shouting and then crooned, "Halleloooooooooooooooooo" for a few minutes.

On Saturday I went over to M4ddie's and experimented with tomato bisque recipes. Then yesterday I finally worked on music stuff all day, then put on pants around 10 pm to have some beers with a friend who's in town. That's how Sunday is done, yo.

I want to hear NY Groove real bad now.
And I agree - I am much more content with warm slush than the freezingness, at least for now. And while winter is getting old, I would rather all this winter than a similar amount of summer.

That metal thing at the art museum was so great! I only wish the video had been as interesting as the music but guess what - you can't have it all, especially not at that price.

Oh hey, there's a new pizza place next door on Diversey. It's called Pizza Persona, and I don't recommend it.

I considered biking across the new bridge yesterday. Is it open to Chicago Ave now?
― tanuki, Friday, 30 December 2011 16:18 (twelve years ago) link
a. The pizza is really not good. It's all quasi-personal-sized (10" I think) thin crust pizzas, which is fine. But the crust is not good, and the toppings were sparse and not great. It's cheap though, so I guess if you need calories but are short on cash - well no, if that's the case, just go to McDonald's.
xp - No, I don't think so! I was going to mention that - a while back a cabbie told me that they were going to be repairing/replacing *all* of the bridges and viaducts on Halsted, and that's what they're doing. The one that goes over the south branch is now under construction. :(

I saw a car driving down it the other day and was thus confused. The bike lanes look nice.

Courtney and I ate there. Her opinion was that it was actually the worst pizza she'd ever eaten.
It was bad enough that we went and ate a second lunch at Noodles & Co., which has yet to let anyone down.

yep. it's all red, white, and black. for an otherwise purely informative series nonfiction book about cavepeople, it's remarkably arty!

It would be wonderful to make the policy extremely convoluted and absurd. Though I guess technically it's not a policy but a clarification of a policy.
