Kitty is fabulous. Kitty sleeps in a Far Niente box.

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.

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.

So the final score is:

John Williams: bald.

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

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?

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

A: Baldness?

that is an xpost.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 28 December 2006 06:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Internalized baldness?

Kenan--today in my cleaning spree, nay -- BENDER -- I found so many of your things. Let's get together, tour your apartment and give you back your stuff. It's taking up 1/3 of my sectional.

Actually, no. I work the double tomorrow. And Friday. I'm off Saturday. Let's try to arrange some FUNZONE (usage?) for Saturday when I'm off.

WTF: I just found out tonight that Courtney is in NC 2 weekends in a row.

Saturday is perfect.

Best Music Video Evar.

I was on the bus tonight next to 2 aging gay men whose conversation about the good old gay days in Chicago was enough to make me pause my iPod. "Awww...Man's Country...I remember when Charlie opened that place up--I was the 2nd man in line--well, actually probably 10th, but still. We should go to Man's Country and take the steam again."

BELLS BEER COSTS 3 AMERICAN DOLLARS FOR A 22 OZ GLASS HERE WTF IS UP WITH CHICAGO BEER PRICEZ

I think I have ranted about UP beer prices vs. Chicago beer prices before, so that's old news. But seriously: Winter White. Big glasses. Three bones. What a great deal!

danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 28 December 2006 07:21 (seventeen years ago) link

No Bells here at all anymore, doncha know, eh.

You know what is kind of surpising(and maybe a part of the post-911 US)? Grocery stores in (L.P.) Michigan have started posting signs saying that they will not accept Canadian coins. What kind of bullshit is that? Everything up to 99¢ Canadian was always OK in my growing-up years. When I moved to NC and they refused my QE2 coins I was pissed.

Waaah, chriiist eh?

I was telling some Kalamazooers that story tonight and they didn't believe me!

I love the exchange upthread where Jesse types "ily" and I pretend that it means something.

Good morning, Chicago. I love this city.

Hey. Sorry I couldn't come out with you guys last night. I've had a really rough week: family drama over the holidays and then me making myself anxious for no good reason over the last couple days. So meeting someone new wasn't high up on my list of priorities, although I'd like to see Jon before he leaves town.

I ended up at Simon's last night, where the glögg was not as good as I remembered it (or perhaps just not as good, or strong, as the glögg we get at work), but I was able to relax a bit. This morning I'm feeling jittery again, though. Fuck.

I don't get glogg.

Mulled wine when it's cold out... I get that. I make that at home, over a warm stove. Glogg is too commercial.

;)

Does John Williams want to come to TT? Do we want to have TT at Old Timer's, just for shits and giggles? Does John C. want to come to TT? Does he want to have it at Old Timer's?

Conversation I walked into in the coffee shop, between and old regular and the long-haired/mutton-chopped baristas:

Old guy: Gerald Ford! Gerald Ford! He was a giant! Giant!

Barista (to other barista): I thought he was talking about the guy from Princess Bride, you know, Andre.

JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 28 December 2006 15:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Yay Eric! I will call you later.

Hey, someone pick up the new Reader that should come out today and see if the FF feature is in there (I don't know why it wouldn't be, but it probably won't be online until tomorrow, so I won't get to read it until then).

I can't come to TT tonight: I have band practice. :(

Also, because I'm a pedant, no "h" in Jon Williams's name.

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 28 December 2006 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I knew that 30 seconds after i typed it. No sense in correcting it, though.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't have even said anything had Jenny not repeated it.

Why did people put hay and fingers on gravestones in the olden days? I used to walk past that graveyard on the way to elementary school and I finally made it back there to take some pictures when we were visiting for Christmas.

Picked up a copy of the Reader at lunch. Holy cats, that's a fine (and sizeable!) article about the FFs.

(Kendrick wrote a blurb about C-n-st-a, too!)

That's sweet. I remembered Nick mentioning something about an article in the Reader so I was checking for it last weekend when I was in town.

Great photos, too.

I spilled a few drops of Vernors on my laptop keyboard. What should I do about that? It's making my Enter key stick a little bit. I'm afraid to pull the key off b/c I've done that before and it's a bear to get back on.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Thursday, 28 December 2006 20:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm sorry. I don't want to talk about that.
