I'm still on vacation (sorry). Comin' back Thursday, hopefully in time to make it to Old Timer's for a couple if TT is still happening, though I'm not sure how late I'll end up rolling into town.

I am still on vacation, though I am working from my parents' basement for the next couple of days, which means waking up at 7 a.m., though it wasn't until this minute that I realized I could sleep until 7 instead of 6 due to the time difference. I went shopping for a suit today for the wedding. It was pretty painless but made me feel obese. Later I walked up to Seven Corners to get out of the house and wandered around in Guitar Center and bought my mom a gift certificate to the Vietnamese restaurant she likes for her birthday. I've been reading a lot, finished "Carter Beats the Devil" in a couple of days (the perfect vacation book, fascinating but quick) and the Bill Bryson Australia book in a day or so. Other than that, I've been sitting in my parents' basement trying to find anything good to watch on cable. I am ready to come home.

Looks like it.

― n/a (n/a), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 20:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess I will read more now.

My work is in the pre-real-Jan/Feb-doldrums doldrums. I am bracing for being might broke.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 20:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I play the doldrums. I am a doldrummer.

I've still got this headache thing that only hurts when I stand up or lie down, like it's an equilibrium thing. I'm pretty sure it's either minor cold/flu symptoms (although otherwise I'm not that stuffed up) or a brain tumor.

i get those a lot. it prob means that you're a bit fluey in a way that has messed with your blood pressure a bit.

i watched a movie that was a very bad movie to watch on christmas day, though a good movie--tsotsi. not a fluffy heartwarming cute thing to watch when sick in bed on a holiday. and jimmy stewart was nowhere to be found on tv. i heard that someone bought the rights to it's a wonderful life and they barely ever show it now.

So you're saying it's not a tumah? Oh good.

Movies I watched over the weekend:

Beastmaster (part of it anyway, in the hotel. I love the Beastmaster handshake)

Little Miss Sunshine (there could have been much worse movies to watch w/dad & stepmom)

The Good Sheperd (slow, long, boring, just like espionage work is? I liked it anyway)

Oleanna (I'm not sure but I think I really liked this)

Sorry I didn't get on AIM, Laurel. I was on the verge of unconsciousness, watching Youtube in bed. Things are not going to be right for a while I think, considering that I was drinking and eating for 3 days straight.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:04 (seventeen years ago) link

i watched the blues brothers and the muppet movie (that was a gift from my sister).

jesse, i txted jenny to try to get your # so we could booze it up or whatnot but never heard back from her.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Boo.

That would have been fun. You would have been especially welcome as a reliable 3rd-shift guy.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't know what that means. instead i watched the best of triumph the insult comic dog on dvd which was a present from me to me.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I had Sayjal as 1st shift, then someone else and then I was all alone at the bar. Same situation the next day.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link

dang, yeah. i could've worked a double actually.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:28 (seventeen years ago) link

The Loop is lively with shoppers, but my building is empty. No L3o Burn3tters, no attorneys staff at W|inston/Str@um, even the Cartridge World and the hair and nail salons are closed. It's 40-some floors of nothing except for bored waiters.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:30 (seventeen years ago) link

a cop was shot about an hour ago at artesian and division, that shouldn't fuck up my trip home too much i'm sure.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:58 (seventeen years ago) link

What was he doing to get himself shot?

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:59 (seventeen years ago) link

probably acting like a dick or something. or busting criminals or whatever.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I think it is because of what he was wearing. He was asking for it.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 22:18 (seventeen years ago) link

later chicago, i'm going home to curl up with my nyquil.

so am i the only idiot who got out of bed today or what? where the hell is everyone?

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 15:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm here. I imagine everyone else is having champagne blowjobs or whatever people on vacation do.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I am working in my parents' basement. Got the space heater on.

― n/a (n/a), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 15:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Just got to work. Nick and Sarah: I visited your cats last night. They are well.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 15:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I heard a really annoying solo (free jazz) sax piece on the way to work. It was like someone going "heyheyheyheyguesswhatguesswhatguesswhatheyheyguessguesswhat" and then screaming in your ear. I kept listening to it because it wasn't talk radio.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 15:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe it's too derivative of Oasis, Jordan, but if you would like to start a band with me called Champagne Blowjobs, I will go all the way to Madison to practice.

Madison seems like it'd be a great place to spend New Years Eve.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha, I am in.

Madison seems like it'd be a great place to spend New Years Eve.

I hope so, but all of my best New Years have been out of town (Milwaukee, Minneapolis, up north). I have no NYE plans this year, although 3van has invited me to see one Robbie Fulks out at a bar.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I just googled that phrase to see if it was a common phrase and came across this (safe for work) set of photos
- excellent for fans of the "so not gonna happen" school of party photography/anthropology.

xpost - I saw that Robbie Fulks was playing up there. I know his drummer, Gerald d0wd, a bit - really good and nice guy too. And an Irish band called The P1nts who I met last summer when I played in Madison sent out an invitation to a NYE show.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 16:51 (seventeen years ago) link

(Irish band with very cute gals, I should say)

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Cool, maybe I will go. I hear he has class A stage patter, which I am a fan of.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 16:58 (seventeen years ago) link

If you've got time to spare and a printer at work, it's worth reading his September 2001 tour diary (and his other 'my day' diaries too).

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 17:02 (seventeen years ago) link

hey chicago! yr airport is very clean, but i wish i could internet in it for free.

― a_p (a_p), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

also i could really go for a cigarette.

― a_p (a_p), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 17:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Internet personality Jon Williams called me from O'Hare last night.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't have yr number ;_;

― a_p (a_p), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 18:03 (seventeen years ago) link

And THAT'S why it's a good thing that Chicago Public Radio made the decision to change their format.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Or wait. Maybe it wouldn't be a good thing for you, considering that you kept listening.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Chicago Public Radio never plays free jazz.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I wouldn't know. That wasn't my point.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I misread what Jordan was saying anyway, so my point didn't make sense.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

also i could really go for a cigarette.

i always ask the cops at the end of the security line how long they think the wait is, they're usually pretty accurate. if it's a short enough wait, and i need one bad enough, i'll go out and then go through security again.

Remember what Bill Pullman on Lost Highway played? Was that free jazz?

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 18:26 (seventeen years ago) link

curry + beerz + family = best ever

― baby wizard sex (gbx), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 18:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Sad day today: I am disconnecting my cable. I just don't watch TV when I'm living alone, but I'm still going to miss a couple of shows that I would DVR.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey. Where is SArah?

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 18:33 (seventeen years ago) link

haven't had cable in close to 2 years. you'll miss it more than you think.
