I was being serious, just put it that way because Otto got to ya first with the captials response.

And think of it this way: last year I spent only a little more on a nice piece of jewelry for my gf and things went to shit shortly afterward. At least this way if that happens you'll have gotten an excellent meal out of it!

I wish I had spent $$$$$ on an engagement meal. :(

I just bought two books for xmas break reading:

Boss: Richard J. Daley of Chicago by Mike Royko and Boundaries of Her Body: A Troubling History of Women's Rights in America by Debran Rowland

Those sound upset my neo-con stepfather pretty good.

Hey John, I listened to clips of the stuff mentioned on that post-rock ILM thread. Some of it I wasn't into but that Lindstrom record sounds pretty tight. The drums sound incredibly like 70's Michael Jackson!

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Argh, I copied my dad on a work e-mail. Stupid Outlook completion matching. At least he doesn't work at GE anymore (competitor, etc.)

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I should check out that thread.

I was just thinking about how I always seemed to get boned on reselling my books in college, so I started keeping them with the intent of using them as reference. This is how the copy of Words Into Type and similar such volumes ended up on my shelf.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I've only heard two tracks from that record, but I like them. I don't know if I'd call it post-rock, though!

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Lindstrom is post-rock now?

Come on, ppl. Space disco!

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:13 (seventeen years ago) link

haha xpost

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I like that Lindstrom record. And it's so trendy it'll match your goddamn shoes.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know if I'd call it post-rock, though!

I wouldn't either, but I still read about it on that thread. The thread where people were saying that they're not post-rock.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, and I just realized I had been reading one of jaxon's posts and jaymc's, i.e. why I brought it up here.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link

later chicago.

oh shit foxored red line again today. I took the 144 bus. not bad once i was on it, but it was an hour before i got to the stop.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 14 December 2006 00:36 (seventeen years ago) link

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 14 December 2006 00:41 (seventeen years ago) link

CTA = Broken?

Red line fucked up, and on the Drive tonight there was one bus going 15-20 MPH with hazards flashing from downtown until I passed it at around Belmont. During that trip one of the long accordianed buses was completely broken down and blocking the right lane around Fullerton.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 14 December 2006 00:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I would have taken then 147, but it was broken down on Michgan Ave, blocking traffic, and there were no other ones in sight. So I had to go with my 2nd choice.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 14 December 2006 01:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Goddamn. What the fuck is going on?

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 14 December 2006 01:12 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, so I got pretty damn lost tonight. Or as lost as it's possible to be in such a strongly grid-following city like Chicago.

Returning from Michigan I usu. stop at the Gas City somewhere by a huge fireworks store just before the I-90 toll road starts. Or, failing that, I will get off at Exit 0 on the toll road (the stop where Jenny, Jeff and I stopped when we moved here--a smelly place).

Tonight I stopped for gas at S. Chicago Ave at 73rd. There was no return ramp that I could find. So this is what I did.

You're driving now?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 14 December 2006 01:26 (seventeen years ago) link

power outage. I took the brown home.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Thursday, 14 December 2006 01:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Fucking hell. I knew that when they announced on the platform that the delay would be "at least 15 minutes" we were talking about at least an hour.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 14 December 2006 01:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I got to work in record time this morning, though. Not record, but what I had come to expect as normal before the last couple of months. I was quite early to work.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 14 December 2006 01:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I was driving earlier today. I am not currently driving, nor was I when I posted.

I was just perusing earlier posts and I've got a couple of things to say:

- (Cake >>> Cookies >> Cobbler) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pie. And any and all of those make fudge seem as apealling as a turd out of a bleeding tumorous colon.

- I am not very good at parallel parking anymore. It takes me a couple of tries. Courtney reminded me of how it is unnecessary in NC and that in her 2 years in Charlotte she never once had to parallel park. (This reminds me of the World's Worst Drivers clip on Arrest'd Development where Lucille Bluth pulls into a parallel spot perpendicularly, gets out, and feeds the meter.)

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 14 December 2006 01:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Also reminds me of Courtney's Charlotte-parking-related quote about a particular branch of a chain sports bar in a typical Charlotte strip mall: "That location of Midtown Sundries is so ghetto--they don't even have valet!" I didn't even have to call her on that one before she blushed and backpedaled.

I finally listened to that lindstrom. I recognize it from M.A.N.D.Y.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Thursday, 14 December 2006 01:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm burning 6 dvds of noise/improv/experimental music for a co-worker

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Thursday, 14 December 2006 01:59 (seventeen years ago) link

and some dance.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Thursday, 14 December 2006 02:02 (seventeen years ago) link

didja like the lindstrom?

My favorite thing right now is Ricardo Villalobos. I've got everything he's released this year that I can find, and then some. Minima-tastic. I'm surprised to find I like this stuff as much as I do. I woulda figured myself for a more melodic guy. But hypnosis? Delicious.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 14 December 2006 02:05 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, I do like it.

and I still love Villalobos. Get everything you can of his.
