I can watch Lost and Daily Show online. That's all I really need. Except for Big Style Small Spaces or whatever it's called. I fucking love that show.

I had free cable all through college (either in the dorms or at my apartment, where my roommates' cancelled it when I mooved in but it just kept coming) and it ruined me for paying for it.

I read that RF tour diary, pretty good stuff.

"Why, even if he had, would the sound still have sucked? Why are the rooms we're playing so ill-suited to our show? Why don't they have mikes? Why can't anybody do anything?" I'm harshing everyone's post-show mellow. "Tell me something. You have a group like the Waco Brothers. They do one thing, and it's loud. They don't accommodate the rooms the way we do, turning themselves into a folk act for a folkie room, changing to a bar band in a bar, doing old-folks music when they're booked in bingo tents. What the hell do they do when they get booked in places like we've been playing?"

"They do what they do then they never return," says Lorne. "Nobody changes their show night by night the way we do."

Too true.

I have an Arrested Dev. question.

Remember the episode where GOB is going around talking about the price of his suit? And he tells Michael that he doesn't want kids getting their sticky fingers on his $3000 pants? Michael responds, "Oh, you think they'll go right for the pants, huh?" While I think GOB's response is hilarious, I don't get why he spazzes out.

I'm bored. I should be cleaning. I'm drinking tea again b/c I'm out of Diet Coke. Bleh.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I haven't seen that episode yet, although I did finish Season 1 last night.

Sarah is here in DC, but she has been staying at her sister's place with the rest of her family and has most likely been too busy to even think about ILX. But this evening she will be coming to stay at my parents' place with me for the rest of the week.

Thanks for checking on los gatos, John.

I think Gob in that episode is just supposed to be generally power-crazy? COME ON.

I cleaned like mad this morning. Went over the living room rug with one of those tape roller things, and it took like 12 sheets to get all the cat hair off of it. Shaking it out does not remove cat hair. Then I rolled up the rug and swept and mopped the whole apartment. Then I cleaned the bathtub. Then I dusted. Then I opened the windows to get the smoky smell out. Then I febreezed. Then I showered. I am a new man.

Remaining problem: cat hair on the bed spread. I'll deal with that shit later.

Next up: watch another episode or two of News Radio, then get back to the freelance work that I've been massively procrastinating on.

Learn to ignore what the photographer saw (kenan), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 20:05 (seventeen years ago) link

In fact, I think the reason I did so much cleaning was to avoid doing real brain work. It works like that a lot.

Learn to ignore what the photographer saw (kenan), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 20:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Cleaning is always a good way to get out of real work. BUT browsing the internet is a good way to get out of cleaning, though it does remind you that you're supposed to be doing real work in a way that cleaning does not.

xpost-- I know he's supposed to be power hungry, but I just wondered what he was going to say. "Should" what?

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 20:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I've reached a point of feeling powerless to clean. Perhaps if I changed out of my bathrobe into shorts and put on some flip-flops instead of going barefoot....

You know what? The 3-prong outlets in my house--of which there are only 3--are actually not grounded! I pulled out the Playtex gloves again and did a little electritioning and was saddened to find that the grounding screw has nothing attached to it.

No, it only lives on through my rewiring.

I have found that the easiest way to clean cat hair off of cloth, such as rugs and couches, is with a slightly damp sponge, especially one with a rough Brillo side. The problem is you have to keep rinsing the cat hair off the sponge.

Nick -- I never thought of using a sponge. I happen to have a bunch of them around. With a rough side. I'll try that. Yer teh best housewife ever.

Learn to ignore what the photographer saw (kenan), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I will try that too. I've tried lint rolling, vacuuming, etc.

I just got a weird phone call. Monique from the office, who nobody really likes anyway except for our old pervert boss, who only likes her because she's a tall blonde with fake tits. Anyway, she a total dizzy dingbat, and she called me and said "Hey, Kenan! You wanna come to the office tomorrow and help me move boxes?!" She was loud, in some kind of bar, and clearly drunk. I said, "Um... I'm not really in the mood to move boxes. What's the angle?" She said, "Well, I can't find any guys to move things for me this week." I said, "That's because we're all on vacation." She stuttered a little as she said, "Wait, this isn't Joe?" "No, it's not Joe." Honey, you called me by my name. You knew exactly who you were trying to sucker into this shit work. I said, "That's a good idea, though. You call Joe. He's big and strong."

Weird. This can't be company sanctioned behavior.

it's drunk behavior, bro.

It's obviously drunken behavior, but even then, it's weird. It's like, nobody really likes you. You want people to help you make? Make some friends first.

HELLO. I missed you all. I still want to go out for TT tomorrow! Anywhere! I don't work so I am not limited by geography or work clothes. I can't read six days worth of ILX messages so if you hockey pucks want to go out tomorrow, say so!

My parents have a dedicated mini ice maker machine just for their bar area. I miss it so much!!!

Fuddy duddy?

I have a bruise on my forearm the size of a half-dollar, it's been there since Sunday morning. What happened? I never got totally wasted.

The apartment is pretty fucking clean. I did more spackling. AND I caulked my leaky shoe. Would that I could maintain cleanliness; alas I am a man of extremes and this is a long-running trait.

By the way--flip-flops and shorts are way way better for cleaning than a bathrobe.

So I hung out with JW tonight, and he's just about the nicest guy in the world. I mean, not to lay it on too thick or anything. He's ok, though.

The only strange point I guess was when I started making bald jokes and Kevin started kicking me under the table. Yeah, it's tacky. But come on. He once basically called me the worst human being in the world. A bald joke or two ain't gonna kill him.

We took a cab home together. We're all good. Until next year.

Learn to ignore what the photographer saw (kenan), Thursday, 28 December 2006 06:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, I made the mistake of talking computers with him. He... well... ouch... he just knows way more than me about this. He was so nice about it, but I knew I was getting pwned, little by little, minute by minute.

Learn to ignore what the photographer saw (kenan), Thursday, 28 December 2006 06:09 (seventeen years ago) link

So the final score is:

John Williams: bald.

Kenan Hebert: not earning near as much per year as John Williams.

Learn to ignore what the photographer saw (kenan), Thursday, 28 December 2006 06:10 (seventeen years ago) link

He's bald?

I didn't expect to make it beyond Best Buy and then dinner, but Courtney and I ate at Dunl@y's on Clark (yuuummmmy grilled veggies the Killer Wild Rice) and returned to BB where beer greased the wheels of her credit card and we got her a wireless router and an external hard drive and then we went to Mikey's on Broadway (see Wine Markups thread for interesting photo of their BYOMeat advertisement).

Anyway, I'm sorry that I didn't make it tonight.

Why would JW make himself seem like such a douche online if he actually is not worthless in person?
