CHICAGO: If Hepatitis C Were Attacking Your Face Instead of Your Liver You'd Be Doing Something About It

or i'll be at home, one or the other.

For no money, a nice young man comes to our apartment and takes away two huge bags of dirty laundry and then someone brings the clothes back to me folded and clean and fresh at 5:30 pm. For free. Once a week. Until January 31. At no cost to me.

Best thing that has happened to me in like, I don't know. Months? Years?

Someone you know is famous.

My server at T's last night was wearing a color of nail polish that the woman at the salon said was called "I'm Not a Waitress."

The laundry service is doing a promotion in our zip code - http://www.mud-room.com/. I'm guessing that it's a real drug dealer kind of move - get you hooked when it's free and then charge you $1.50 a pound for it.

Although, I think it's very smart. I usually have the time and the inclination to do the laundry myself. I like doing laundry! But when we're really super busy, I will drop it off. That has happened twice in our lives and we look at it as a necessary splurge, like taking a cab when it's pouring down rain and the train is broken far away from work. Now that I know that this place is trustworthy and efficient and reliable, I will be more likely to call on them for that necessary splurge in the future. It's more expensive, but then come here and get the shit so there's definitely value added there.

If you asked people the number-one most-popular after-hours snack, the answer would usually be pizza. But for many of us, without question, it's Mexican food.

More specifically, it's the taco.

The answer is always pizza! Even when it's tacos! Dummies.

xpost - damn, we're all going to have to see that movie together since it's like a showcase for our show biz friends.

Altho they're totally OTM about biira.

I have that nail color too!

I FRUXORING love Strangers with Candy. Amy reminds me of my own comedy schtick, in the privacy of my own home (to which Nick responds by saying, Sarah, please don't do that any more. It's not funny, it's disturbing).

My frenchie sis sent this huge email this morning detailing how she thought for sure her paperwork wouldn't work out so she had already had her heart set on going to spend Christmas with her hubbie's fam (and hadn't told us this) and now she's heartbroken because the papers went through and she can come to the States. GRR!

awesome. i saw a guy bite into the tin foil once but he opened his eyes and realized the mistake right away.

LOL

xpost oh even better

Bye. I'm going to eat a fancy work lunch downtown followed by a fancy work dinner in Evnanston for Nick's company this evening.

1) i made jambalaya with chicken andouille and shirmps instead of the soup, a good idea since i used stuff that was sitting in the fridge and didn't have to buy anything extra

2) my ethiopian student brought food THANK YOU

3) i brought some music for the party, including several ethiopiques selections and my student, B, said that she likes that music, but
a. it's popular among "old people"
b. "old people" like to dance to it at weddings

4) which leads me to believe that it's a bit like our Motown -- so the next time you feel all hip and worldly listening to your ethiopiques, realize that you are basically jamming to "My Girl". i will try to remember this as well.

you know, OLD PEOPLE.

where's my social security check?

i used to drink this daily.

I called and they said that the system was supposed to have reactivated it automatically, but there was a glitch. A real person would do it. But that will take 3 days. In the meantime I am welcome to walk 6 blocks down to the CTA place and pick up a 7 day pass to get me through, but I don't have time.
