Ok. Old Timers it is. I forgot about the grilled cheese (!). Also, I'm excited about cookies.

True about the shuffling and the dirty. I guess I'm just all about situationally appropriate clothing. I'm also more forgiving when weather extremes demand drastic wardrobe measures. I would be more scornful of someone wearing sling back pumps today than someone wearing Uggs.

There's something to the farmboy = warm thing, I think. One of the warmest pieces of clothing I ever had was a hoodie I bought for $20 in the middle of bumfuck Kansas. It was, like, triple lined. It was as warm as a coat. I loved that thing. Someone stole it out of my laundry.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 7 December 2006 16:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I had a similarly warm, equally loved, and eventually stolen or lost lined Carhart hoodie.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 7 December 2006 16:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I almost bought a Carhartts coat last week! It was like a jacket/hoodie. A joodie. Hacket. It was a black work coat with the hoodie-pouch and an attached hood, I looked forever to find one in a regular size and then decided it just didn't look good on me (big boxy shoulders, huge hood, elastic on the ends of the sleeves, etc.).

i have had the same Carhartt hoodie for....ten years?? best ever.

― grbchv! (gbx), Thursday, 7 December 2006 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

once i put it on, actually, i will have on a full complement of Carhartt outerwear.

― grbchv! (gbx), Thursday, 7 December 2006 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

You know that's not going to help him any.

Ha, but all I know of Dickies is that they make jeans and workshirts popular among skaters and rockabilly dudes. Do they make outerwear, too?

This was the jacket:

As long as basically graceful mobility is still possible, I am so in favor of situationally inappropriate clothing! If it's simply impossible to walk on the ice in anything but crampons, then crampons it is...but if it's just the cold, I would be so proud of someone wearing slingbacks well and showing no pain. RESPECT YO.

those things are stupid warm, Jordan. every 'neck in town owns one

― grbchv! (gbx), Thursday, 7 December 2006 16:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Carhartt is not so good for winter sports tho. I've found their stuff can be too warm.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 7 December 2006 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link

very true

good for winter standing.

― grbchv! (gbx), Thursday, 7 December 2006 16:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, which makes it perfect bus stop attire. Or driving a slow tractor, which was probably the original idea. But I'm all about perfect bus stop attire.

What time is everyone getting at Old Timers? I can be there pretty early (I get out of work at 4:30).

― Calico (calico), Thursday, 7 December 2006 17:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I might get the 5 o'clock, but I've heard good things about the 7, too.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 7 December 2006 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I should be at OT sometime between 4:30 and 5:30 (when the eye doctor closes), it all depends on how fast I find some good frames.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 7 December 2006 17:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I will probably not be there any earlier than 6, since I had to reschedule my Tuesday class for tonight. I'll be at Madison and Wabash until 5:45 and then I guess I will find some way to get to Lake. Brown line?

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 7 December 2006 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Is anyone familiar with a rock n' roll combo called the Zutons? I've heard the same song on college radio three times in the last week and I like it.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 7 December 2006 17:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll probably be there at 6:30.

JC -- name rings a bell but couldn't tell you anything about them.

I can't make TT tonight. :( I was looking forward to F/M/K.

Raise a glass for me, and wish me success on my legal ethics final tomorrow!

So to get a headcount, I see Sarah, Dan, John and myself raising glasses to Jenny in absentia?

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 7 December 2006 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Jesse said yesterday that he's in, too.

What about husbands/fiances/etc? EZ? Kev? (I'm kind of worried he might be frozen solid in his heaterless apartment)

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 7 December 2006 18:52 (seventeen years ago) link

EZ is playing that show at Merch Mart tonight.

Oh shit, you'd think I would have retained that tidbit of info from the interview this morning.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 7 December 2006 18:55 (seventeen years ago) link

And Nick!

That was an xpost, obviously.

Please share my righteous fury:

Someone is using a WALKIE TALKIE in the computer lab.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 7 December 2006 19:39 (seventeen years ago) link

A real one? Is he construction crew? There could be a reason for it.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 7 December 2006 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Although this may not be the same thing, I really wish people would stop putting a speaker feature on ordinary cellphones. Not a lot of people use it, because it's fucking stupid, but the people who do use it are just cruisin for a bruisin. For the safety of the user, these should be banned.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 7 December 2006 19:41 (seventeen years ago) link

CHIRP

YEAH WHADDYA WANT

BAGELS? NO THEY DON'T HAVE BAGELS. HOW ABOUT SOME NORMAL BREAD? HONEY, THEY DON'T HAVE BAGELS. THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE.

*flies into blind rage, kills everyone*

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 7 December 2006 19:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I use the speaker on my cell phone to check voicemail if I'm also going to do something else, but only IN THE PRIVACY OF MY OWN HOME.

He's not a construction/maintenance/building engineer. Student lab only. I would be less irritated by he's listening to headphones and so has the ringer turned WAY UP so he can hear it when it rings. Which is kind of mind boggling.

But it's all pointless because a whole fucking gaggle of undergrads working on some ding dong group project have descended are are sitting next to me blahblahblahing about some business school bullshit.

I just feel so old sometimes - like it's some sort of monumentally old-fashioned concept that people might like a quiet environment for studying and anyone under 25 has evolved beyond that needs thanks to early exposure to frenetic TV programming while doing homework.

Anyway, I'm considering the murderous blind rage option. I'll let you know.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 7 December 2006 19:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I learned at work last week that 40% of digital music sales are RINGTONES. Who uses ringtones, seriously? My phone is always on either vibrate or (when I'm at a movie or play) silent. Subjecting other people to the synth riff from "Ridin' Dirty" or whatever emanating from my pocket seems kinda rude.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 7 December 2006 19:59 (seventeen years ago) link

OTMFM

this is my beef with my roommate -- he'll be all "well, time for some studying!" and then park it on the couch, turn on the TV, and start reading. waht. also is baffled and a little hurt that i study in my room, with the door closed. he is 23.

don't get me started on the fucking ACTUAL TEENAGERS I have in my classes.

― grbchv! (gbx), Thursday, 7 December 2006 20:02 (seventeen years ago) link

My friend N8 has a program that allows him to make his own ringtones. As such he has some really choice ones, like "Party all the Time" for when his gf (now wife) calls him. Beyond something like that, they're utterly stupid.

This reminds me of a time I was riding the train home, iPodless for some reason, and there was a guy going through EVERY. SINGLE. RINGTONE. on his phone, one at a time, and letting them play all the way through each time. So many people on the train were giving him the eye daggers, it was incredible.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 7 December 2006 20:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Who uses ringtones, seriously?

It's letting other people know you're cool, is all. It's a mating call. A boomin' system. The kids love it. "Rude" is not a concern.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 7 December 2006 20:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Yup, me too. They can be comic. Like "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" -- I like that one.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 7 December 2006 20:05 (seventeen years ago) link

My ringtone is the Canadian National Anthem.

There is a limited amount/type of studying I can do with certain media distractions. For example, I can outline with sports on TV for example, because outlining doesn't require as much concentration and I am only marginalyl interested in sports. Also, I have learned to study with music out of self god damn defense but it has to be fairly smooth. But I cannot read law talking stuff with distractions - it's to fucking lame/boring/difficult.

I find intelligible live human talking and random loud noises (AS FOUND IN THE COMPUTER LAB RIGHT NOW) the most distracting.

You guys my face is BRIGHT PINK. I think I have windburn or something.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 7 December 2006 20:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I do like the idea of ringtones, but I'm too self-conscious to ever use them outside of my apartment or car, and it's not like I'm going to remember to switch my phone to "ring" every time I come home or get in the car.

Is that John Michael Montgomery? He looks a lot like the picture of Bob Seger on the cover of the new Bob Seger record.
