wow, that "Africa" video. I'd never seen it before.

I love Captain of Your Heart.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

You know how crazy old ladies tend to wear huge amounts of blush? (or rouge, if they prefer)

That's what I look like right now! I look like I woke up in the morning and said "Yes, this would be a good day to apply clown makeup. Today." That's how red my face is.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:19 (seventeen years ago) link

is Sade AM Gold? I love Sade.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Does your face hurt like it's been burned?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes my face hurts like it has been burned.

Sade is after AM gold as far as I'm concerned. BUT My bff and I made up a song called "Smooth Toilet Paper" in her honor.

Coast to coast and into the Acme,
go down theeeee
aisles and there is no Charmin left,
I think I'll die...
so I buy the
smooth toilet papaaaah
smoooth...toilet paaapaaaaah

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I think Sade is post-AM Gold, but could be classified within the more inclusive "Soft Rock" category.

[note: Acme was our local grocery store]

I used to get terrible wind burn/dryness while skiing. I'd have an outline of the space between where my mask stopped and my goggles began. It was like a little chevron across my cheeks.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link

That's me! We are vewwy sensitive.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:23 (seventeen years ago) link

i SHOULD NOTE that we made up that song when we were 7 or 8 years old, not recently.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Woah woah woah John, do you mean "What You Won't Do For Love" as in the Bobby Caldwell song?

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

omg LOVE "smooth toilet paper"!!! Amanda, you have made me very, very happy.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link

You can thank my 7 year old self for that gem. We also penned "Mr. Toilet Bowl Man" in the "style of New Edition."

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm heading to the train in a minute, see some of ya'll later this evening!

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Woah woah woah John, do you mean "What You Won't Do For Love" as in the Bobby Caldwell song?

Apparently so. Didn't know it was cover. (Man, YouTube is great.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I forgot to share a gem from today's papers:

"...picturing a girl playing the foamy game."

Guess what the foamy game is.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Come on, I know you have all played the foamy game.

Based on a sampling of "What You Won't Do For Love" performances on YouTube:

Go West > Bobby Caldwell >>> Dionne Warwick (live) >>>>> Boyz II Men

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Nope, it was a small child. She was blowing bubbles.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I want to go to a foam party with a Christian youth group.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok, Tom Wolfe.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha! I almost spit my apple out.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:53 (seventeen years ago) link

See you all in approximately 2 hours, give or take 15 min. I am hungry and will come bearing cookies. Someone should call Kevin to make sure he's not frozen.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Go West > Bobby Caldwell >>> Dionne Warwick (live) >>>>> Boyz II Men

I have to check some of those out! Digd0wn has talked about doing that tune.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:58 (seventeen years ago) link

What's with people leaving work early to go drink? Is that a valid reason? I've never tried it.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:58 (seventeen years ago) link

behind on this thread...

but, omg baker street.

i am mad at my computer for being all slow with the youtube africa video.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Thursday, 7 December 2006 21:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Kr is coming to TT, yay.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 7 December 2006 23:29 (seventeen years ago) link

CONFESSION:

i was in a bluegrass band back in CO that did a cover of Africa. I was the singer :-/

"I write a new verse of 'We Didn't Start the Fire' every few years. Right now, I'm up to -- 'A-Rod, Ipod, Jacko's Free, There's No God.'"

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 00:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Someone should call Kevin to make sure he's not frozen.

I neglected to mention this at Old Timer's, but I sent him a txt on my way up from work and he responded saying he was sick and had just woken up. Sick >>>>>>> Frozen

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 8 December 2006 03:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Depends on what kind of sick.

I just listened to Eric's interview! He's so cool.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Friday, 8 December 2006 03:28 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, Eric's interview was great.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 8 December 2006 04:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Surely Kev is sick partially because he is frozen. I feel like we should take up a collection. To what end, I'm not sure. But damnit, I feel almost like in Kevin, I have my first homeless friend. YOU CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT HEAT IN THIS TOWN. SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 04:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Why doesn't Kevin have heat? I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that's illegal in this town. I've got a pal over at MAP - should I give him a call?

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Friday, 8 December 2006 04:40 (seventeen years ago) link

YES! By his reports, he has no heat. And as we can plainly see on night like this, that's really fucking criminal.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 04:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Unless he's squatting.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 04:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Heat would be known as an "essential service" - http://www.tenants-rights.org/index.php?page=heat#q1.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Friday, 8 December 2006 04:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok, I called Kevin a while ago, and I feel like a dick again. (Again, you say? Yes, again.) This is none of my fucking business.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 05:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I did not go to TT. Nor did Courtney. This is because we made some big mistakes last night. We were going to go to see For Your Consideration but wound up futzing around with her iTunes for too long, so we just went to the Beuna bar where we drank 2 bottles of wine and something else. Then I walked home and got a bite to eat at Crew and had a beer. I wound up hanging out at my house with a friend I made there. Today sucked.

Did you know that Carhartt jeans are considered pretty fashionable? They are popular amongst gay men. Maybe because they flatter the booty like no pant ever has before. They're like the Wonder Bra for butts.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 8 December 2006 05:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Kevin - I put Kenan up to calling you. Plz don't think he was a dick - I was the dick.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Friday, 8 December 2006 05:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Nobody was actually a dick. I just shouldn't be worrying about people's business, is all.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 05:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Kenan, if you find out we don't have heat and the temp drops to single digits outside, please call and worry about our business. I will do the same for you.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Friday, 8 December 2006 06:15 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't think anyone's a dick, i appreciate the concern but no one needs to be worrying about me.

unrelated: i have taken more cabs in the past week than i have in probably the last two years. took one home from delilah's the other night because it was too cold to walk to ashland, took one home from the holiday club last night because i just wanted to be home as fast as possible, took one to work today because i was running behind and the next bus wasn't due to arrive for another 15 minutes. i forget how handy having an auto can be. it took me almost 90 minutes to get from the ukie village to uptown last night, the trip home was completed in less than 20.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 December 2006 14:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Kenan, it's called CARING. It's all the rage with the kids these days.

I don't feel like doing work today! I have more Christmas shopping to do.

My tree looks beautiful. I finished decorating it last night. I used strands of the huge colorful bulbs that blink AND tiny white lights that cascade in strings. I also managed to work in every single ornament we own, except for these tiny bows that Nick nixed, or Nicked if you will.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 8 December 2006 15:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I listened to Eazy's radio dingus this morning as well, pretty great. I had no idea about the freakish guitar playing style.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 8 December 2006 15:22 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm supposed to be going this show tomorrow but i'm not sure, getting out of town for a night (even if it is just to milwaukee) would be fun but i should probably do some xmas shopping or something.
