the dream was about this total creep i dated in high school (irl) and it was horrible and lurid. let me just say that i was publicly humiliated at a grocery store, in the parking lot, and he was responsible. then he asked me how to "write a good paragraph" because apparently he was going to immortalize my public humilation and publish it. it was a real, honest-to-goodness nightmare.

usually i'm relieved to wake up from nightmares, but this is spooking me good.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 18 December 2006 16:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I hate that feeling. And that dream sounds truly awful.

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 18 December 2006 16:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Fortunately, it was not real.

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

My friend got a vintage suit for his wedding over the weekend, at a place up here. It's from 1928 (seriously, it has a little inscription with the last guy it was tailored for and the date) and it only cost, like, $175.

JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 18 December 2006 17:10 (seventeen years ago) link

OH oh oh I saw a TV commercial for TWO suits for $150 at some discount men's store. They are probably made from craft felt, but when the first one disintegrates in the rain, you'll have a back up.

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 18 December 2006 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

ooh ooh and then you can pull my favorite old man joke:

Person 1 touches the shoulder of Person 2
Person 1: "Is that felt?"

Person 2: "I dunno.."

Person 1: "Now it is."

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 18 December 2006 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Except it works better when the garment is NOT made of felt.

Hey word nerds, check out this book I'm getting for my dad for Xmas.

I just got an Amazon gift certificate over e-mail from "Pappy Cunn1ngh4m." I'm guessing it's a Christmas gift from my dad. I wonder if he realizes he sent it to me.

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 18 December 2006 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

I had a really good weekend. Lots of chillin, movie watching (Life Aquatic and Burden of Dreams), productive rehearsals and a good gig. All of a sudden D1gd0wn has like seven new songs.

JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 18 December 2006 17:48 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG so tired...

I have to do a considerable amount of work on my paper tonight. I can't decide if I should take a nap for a couple hours in the hopes of being more productive or just power through until bedtime and go for volume production.

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 18 December 2006 18:14 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG, Hot Doug's is going to be open this weekend. There is no way that I am not going this Saturday.

I don't suppose anyone wants to get dinner or something on Friday? I have the day off so I might drive in early-ish.

JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 18 December 2006 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan, do you play Friday night?

danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 18 December 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Friday and Saturday

JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 18 December 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey! Maybe I'll take my parents to come see you!!

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Monday, 18 December 2006 18:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I have often hoped that MDD and my parents would be in Chicago at the same time so I could take everybody to the Green Mill to rock out to a brass band. The only foreseeable problem would be if the set start time was later than my parents' bedtime.

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 18 December 2006 18:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Great! I bet a lot of people there will have their parents with them.

JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 18 December 2006 18:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I think we start at 9:00 on Fri and 8:00 on Saturday.

JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 18 December 2006 18:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan, I may drag my little sister and some friends to the show, depending on their level of interest. I want to go, though!

danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 18 December 2006 18:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I would come if I were in town!

Ok. Emergency question: Do any of you know of a language translation site (I need French to English) that works better than babblefish? IT IS URGENT! Thanks.

Calico (calico), Monday, 18 December 2006 18:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Awesome, Dan. It will be a family-friendly show, we will have songs about Xmas and changing diapers.

JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 18 December 2006 19:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks, Dan. It seems like that page only does a word at a time. I have a huge f'n email to translate. I got the gist of the message via babbelfish, but wanted to find something better.

I don't have much hope for my youngest sis's marriage. :-(

Calico (calico), Monday, 18 December 2006 19:08 (seventeen years ago) link

"family-friendly" lol

(I should say that "little" = 25... so no need to keep it PG for her.)

xpost: Oh, sorry! I had just heard about that through the grapevine here at the U.

danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 18 December 2006 19:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Did your sister send you a whole e-mail in French?

JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 18 December 2006 19:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Do you want to come to dinner with me at Glenn's Diner, for breakfast cereal and seafood specials?

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 18 December 2006 19:30 (seventeen years ago) link

(It would be at 7 PM -- don't know what time you have to be at the Green Mill. I think I'm coming to the Saturday show, though.)

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 18 December 2006 19:31 (seventeen years ago) link

She forwarded an email from her husband to my other sis who forwarded it to me asking for a translation.

Calico (calico), Monday, 18 December 2006 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

John, that might work out pretty well, actually (I should be at the GM at 8:15ish).

JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 18 December 2006 20:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I am 100% sure that I saw the name "Bloody Dick Point" on a map of Montana when I was in my teens. It was in the SW part of the state. I can't find it now.

I wonder if it is one of those intentional "mistakes" that cartographers use to protect their maps from plagiarism?

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 18 December 2006 20:50 (seventeen years ago) link

BTW, I love maps and I love words, so this book looks like fun.

JESSE YOU SUCK I WANT TO BE AT THE BAR

Yes -- "Two times".

I am not drinking. I just ate a Reuben and a Diet Coke. I'm in the dining room.

I couldn't open it. :(

Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 18 December 2006 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I am downloading the mix as I type this. Our internet seems really slow today.

Even if you're not drinking at the bar Jesse, you're still closer to it than I am. This has already been a long day and I'm probably going to be here late :(

danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 18 December 2006 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes -- "Two times".

I saw one of you say "4x" once. Is that like "me four"?

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 18 December 2006 21:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, or "^^^^^^^^cosign" or whatever. Basically: "I agree with the above and want to repeat it to signify my agreeance."

danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 18 December 2006 21:18 (seventeen years ago) link

John, did you read Prep ? It is really good. It's full of very reassuring, outcast-affirming Truths without trying to be lofty. I really like that Lee seems to be growing and learning without having big giant moments when everything changes. Her losing her virginity was great b/c while it was pushed on her, it was what she wanted the whole time.

That sounds really terrible.... But that's what's great about the book is that it really captures how something can be really positive and kind of wrong at the same time.
