No dudes hit on me at the gay bars this weekend, it wz kinda depressing.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i wouldn't want anything to do with a slut anymore, nor would i care to be one.

i'm beyond old and veering towards decrepit now.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i could handle a slut-phase.

― grbchv! (gbx), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Honestly, the slut phase is one of the main reasons I remember my 20's so unfondly.

For reals.

(see also: i am not discussing my slut phase on the internet)

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:31 (seventeen years ago) link

haha

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Ya srsly.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

as soon as i mentioned it i had second thoughts. there will be no further details.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, it's best to leave the details to the mind's of the chilx denizens. that's a much safer route.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah sorry, I didn't mean to make anyone uncomfortable... honestly I don't really need such a phase and find it pretty seamy and pointless, which is probably why I have failed so many times at acting that way.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Sweetheart, stop while you're behind: you've just suggested that everyone else's slut phases were "seamy and pointless". :D

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:52 (seventeen years ago) link

honestly, though, laurel -- what was the point?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I am going to change the topic now. I went to a clothing swap last night and scored this sweet pair of boots -- they're sort of like Mondrian boots, but instead of having white and red and black, they're just red and black. So cute. I also got some other stuff. It's like Christmas came early and I have whole new wardrobe!

It's good, because I was starting to feel really goddamn frumpy. My (1) grey hair made another unwelcome appearance.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:53 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm okay with the fact that i had the phase, but i also would be perfectly content & happy without it too.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:54 (seventeen years ago) link

slut phases, seamy or steamy?

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:54 (seventeen years ago) link

both, of course

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:55 (seventeen years ago) link

What was the point of the phase, or of needling Dan? Specific examples are best, Kenan!

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:55 (seventeen years ago) link

of the phase, i mean. I got out of it a bad taste in my mouth.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I sure do love these new boots.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:56 (seventeen years ago) link

They look like they lack traction?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:57 (seventeen years ago) link

heh.

take a picture of them, amanda?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:58 (seventeen years ago) link

They're for looking cute, not for climbing mountains.

+fashion
-traction

I would take a photo if I had the camera. D has it and he is in an airplane right now.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 11 December 2006 21:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha, that response reminds me of something my ex would say. Right before she slipped and fell on ber butt.

They do look v. nice. I wish I was of a somewhat normal size and could do things like clothing swaps or shopping at resale stores.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, I dunno. I'm not much of a long-term dater, so most of my opposite-sex anything has been in a couple of those phases.

LOVE THE BOOTS!

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:02 (seventeen years ago) link

that does not sound healthy. the phases, not the boots. although the boots also sound a little treacherous this time of year.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:05 (seventeen years ago) link

watch me talk about what's "healthy," and feel free to crack up laughing.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyway, you can have rubber soles laid on those boots at a shoe place!

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I retract my "no traction" comment.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, lots of womens' shoes don't have giant, ugly lug soles -- not a big deal. Don't wear them in the snow. Don't run on the ice. I am not wearing them today, but I could, since all of the snow is melted, practically.

I'm off to work, dudes. It's been a pleasure.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:08 (seventeen years ago) link

then they wouldn't look as cute

xp to laurel

― grbchv! (gbx), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link

You can't even see them, it's less than 1/8" thick. Just a thin layer of grooved rubber, like...I can't think of a non-shoe comparison. They cut it to the outline of the sole and glue it on tightly. Good for ages.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:13 (seventeen years ago) link

something for which i have ilx to thank/blame: i now make snap judgements on women based solely on their boots. i learned at a young age to compliment a woman on her shoes but i find myself making silent but permanent judgements based on their boots now.

i wasn't always this way.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I saw a girl wearing purple-tinged Uggs (or similar) this morning, and totall snap-judged the shit out of her.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh boy, special Xmas bonus from work! UofC Pr355 LUGGAGE TAG! Truly this makes my past year's labor worthwhile.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:38 (seventeen years ago) link

wow, dan. that will bring in the big bucks on ebay, right?

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:40 (seventeen years ago) link

it doesn't even need to be something as obvious as uggs dan, i find myself quietly commenting to myself and giving them the mental equivelant of the roman emperor's thumbs up/thumbs down to gladiators in the arena.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Monday, 11 December 2006 22:58 (seventeen years ago) link

wow. dudes, that was some heavy Chicago talk today.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Monday, 11 December 2006 23:10 (seventeen years ago) link

of the phase, i mean. I got out of it a bad taste in my mouth.

You were clearing doing something wrong, but I hesitate to ponder on exactly what.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 11 December 2006 23:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I have a story to tell:

My cell phone battery went totally kaput this morning and I went to US Cellular to get a new one and this punk ass kid behind the counter said they'd have to order one and it would take TWO WEEKS! I said UNACCEPTABLE plz expedite and he said nowai can't do it and I said let me talk to a manager and the kid gave me some gruff and I said, "Listen, you've been very helpful so far, but the more reluctant you are to let me speak with a manager the more likely I am to speak poorly of you" so out came the manager. He called another store that was THREE measely blocks away and they had the battery right there in stock so I stopped there on the way back to school and got a new battery for free right away and now my phone works.

I also went to the Christkindlmarket and got some sweet cheese pancakes and applesauce on a total whim, which is possibly the best idea I've had in weeks.

So the moral of the story is: ask for a manager and never pass up a chance for sweet cheese pancakes.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 11 December 2006 23:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Yay, I don't have to work tomorrow. (Because we are playing that show with $INDIEROCKLEGEND in Milwaukee.) The ability to sleep in is quite welcome, since I seem to be coming down with a cold.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 11 December 2006 23:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, that's in Milwaukee? Where at?

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 11 December 2006 23:35 (seventeen years ago) link

That reminds me, I need to ask for next Friday off. I have a show with the rock band the night before, and then I'm driving to Chicago in the afternoon for the GM shows. Sleep will be key.

NEW GLASSES GET

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 00:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd post a pic, but they look pretty much the same 'cept smaller and less silvery. Also I am not v. photogenic at the moment.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 00:36 (seventeen years ago) link

nice bike person (who i only know tangentially) just got nailed at halsted/grand/milwaukee

keep it safe out there, ppl!

― grbchv! (gbx), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 00:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Is the rider still alive? I passed a ghost bike on Houston the other day, obviously incredibly sad.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 00:44 (seventeen years ago) link

JENNY WAI TO B POWERHOUSE. Am taking you on next customer-dispute resolution trip.
