I wish I spoke Spanish so I could work at the L@tino Union.

Go to the fucking Chicago AIDS/homo legal place and volunteer. And get me a fuckingg job there while you're at it. It worked once.....

Detroit 3, Chicago 2. Suck on that, dudes down the row from me.

M@rikka's email was all...

I've never heard of anyone named that except my friend T0mas' sister, but it's only with one "k". Weird. Is this person Estonian?

are you blogging from a hockey game??

― grbchv! (gbx), Friday, 15 December 2006 04:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I wish I could play a sport. I've been talking to my little jailbird friend in NO who is telling me how great a way it is to meet a future ex-husband and they accept all skill levels, but the thought of engaging in any team sport makes me very, very nervous--like being in high school again.

Group activities I could see myself engaging in: darts, tennis, pool, bowling, jam band.

Too nerdy even for me.

I'll play tennis with you. Have I ever played you?

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Friday, 15 December 2006 05:11 (seventeen years ago) link

We have never played tennis. I haven't played since '97, so I don't need no attitude about my knowledge or abilities.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 15 December 2006 14:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh god team sports bring out some serious junior high gym nightmares for me.

Jesse, go volunteer yourself. Tell them you're looking for a husband. They'll like that.

I have no idea if M@rikka is Estonian.

Mornin' pawdnuhs. I am a bit hungover today even though the last drink I had yesterday was around 4pm.

I just uploaded the 100 best 80s songs, according to ILM, and it's making me happy.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 15 December 2006 14:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Jenny, I also vote for quitting.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 15 December 2006 14:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Morning. I tried to watch Trembling Before G-D last night (no shlomo) but the dvd was scratched to hell and unwatchable.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 15 December 2006 15:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Shit, that's too bad -- it's quite a thing. I like how they put subtitles in for any sentence with a Yiddish or Hebrew word in it, and some of them are just approximate translations, which is funny.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 15 December 2006 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, and some of them are totally obvious. Like the guy will say "it's not kosher" and the subtitle will say "it is not in accordance with Jewish dietary laws" or something.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 15 December 2006 15:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah! Hah. I can't believe you just said "no schlomo".

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 15 December 2006 15:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh no!

Everyone in the office got a big gift card to Nike from the boss. I just went on their site and apparently they even sell FEDORAS. ha ha

― Calico (calico), Friday, 15 December 2006 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha, thx Laurel I made that joke last night and 4mma totally didn't get it.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 15 December 2006 15:31 (seventeen years ago) link

That's because she's not an interweb nerdsky.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 15 December 2006 15:33 (seventeen years ago) link

True. :( She's not a rap nerd either.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 15 December 2006 15:40 (seventeen years ago) link

jenny, i'm all for volunteering but i would personally choose whatever would enable me to have a larger variety of choices/opportunities down the road. that's essentially why leaf went with a big firm for next summer . . . and they'll give him a "scholarship" if he does a clerkship.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Friday, 15 December 2006 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

no schlomo

Oh speaking of which, happy Chanukah y'all (though not for a few hours I guess).

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 15 December 2006 17:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Julia, don't forget to light one candle before sunset tonight. Remind yer roomie.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 15 December 2006 17:23 (seventeen years ago) link

There is a custom to have Hanukkah parties and to eat foods fried or baked in oil.

menorahs are pretty and oooo fire and yay fried foods. i like this holiday.

weird spam of the day:

Hot married baby search for group anal sex!

Here is a completely legitimate keyword search I just did at work:

Back on the post rock tip for just a sec: I found the new Expl0s|ons in the 5ky record on the internets and even though some say "it sounds just like all their other records", their other records sound like AWESOME and I like the new one too.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 15 December 2006 19:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Would I like Six Parts Seven, Dan?

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 15 December 2006 19:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe, I'm not sure. I'm always wary of reccomending bands like them to Tortoise fans because, well, they kind of sound like Tortoise! I like it mainly 'cause it was something new when I was starting my latest phase of music listening at work.

tom skilling is predicting a 60 degree day tomorrow. if he weren't from a family of degenerate liars i would be psyched about this.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 15 December 2006 19:38 (seventeen years ago) link

CPR called it at close to 60 in their forecast this morning too, FWIW.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 15 December 2006 19:39 (seventeen years ago) link

weather.com says 53 tomorrow. Either way, hello open windows.

Hey guys, I need suggestions for crazy html tags that might break stuff (i.e. that any good software should block the use of). Kenan, Dan?

that obscure tags page is pretty interesting, actually. I've never even heard of half of that stuff.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 15 December 2006 20:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha, ditto for your link! The WebTV stuff is totally foreign to me.

oh, and on my cab ride home last night we drove by the music box and they were filming something in front of the marquee. it featured one of the most stunning women i've ever laid eyes on trying to look bored and blase as she was getting out of/getting into/otherwise leaning against the door of a taxi in a red evening dress.

it was kind of surreal.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 15 December 2006 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link

oh and i forgot my cigarettes in the jacket i was wearing last night and right now i'm ready to punch everyone i work with in the face.

I smoked way too much last night at some crazy-face art party in an apartment that might be bigger than my childhood home (a 4-bedroom 3-story Victorian). Urgh, champagne.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 15 December 2006 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Also I am listening to sad bastardess country music (Laura Cantrell) and it's making me so bluuuuuuuue, why don't I stay behind.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 15 December 2006 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link

man i love a good champagne buzz. so effervescent. if i'm up early enough i think i'll have a mimosa on sunday.

xpost- i'm listening to quintron and ms. pussycat and it's making me happy for the first time in a while. we seem to be in sync, just polar opposites.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 15 December 2006 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

damn, quintron is over now. boo ba la hoo.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 15 December 2006 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I am considering purchasing a 3' x 5' Red Wings flag to just annoy the shit out of some Hawks fans next time they come to town. I'm wondering if they'd even let me in the door with something like that.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 15 December 2006 21:23 (seventeen years ago) link

ooh, champagne. can't get enough of it.

friend of mine, though, has the same reaction to champagne that i have to tequila. i mean, tequila already seemed gross to me before the night in question...but champagne? unless something truly happened, i can't see ever hating it.

xp shove it down yr pants!

getting in isn't the problem, it's getting home where it gets dicey.

That's what I was thinking, or possibly just under my coat. Also thinking of getting a cane to use as a flagpole once I'm inside. Given Kev's comment it might have to be a sword cane...

So my first foray into suit shopping was at Men's Warehouse. They were nice and helpful but the prices were as much as a some suits I saw at Marshall Field's. They start at $199 for a really ugly sport coat. Suits start at around $300, except for this really gross one for about $250.

Where are these magical < $250 suits I hear so much about?
