It's ok, I found it pretty hilarious too.

Or you could offer to pay her back for the tickets...

I don't think this would work.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Or hey, what if you planned a surprise of some sort for her for some other day when she least expected it?

I told her I'd make it up to her.

The tickets were $5 each. It would seem petty.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyway, I'll think of something. I don't want to turn this into a big old debate about what I should do.

then the rest of CHILX are incorrigible raging alcoholics
I have always had a pretty huge fear of getting addicted to something, especially due to extended family history. I was fiercely self-righteous growing up when it came to alot of things and it's taking me a very long time to calm the fuck down about them. So I apologize for coming off as a bitch sometimes.

My Saturday afternoon:

Smoked Rattlesnake Sausage with Blueberry-Port Sauce and Smoked Gouda Cheese
- $7.50

Jordan - real rattlesnake??

What is IO, by the way?

formerly improv olympics.

until the international olympic organization threatened to sue them into oblivion.

Sarah, I hope so!

(it's on the Hot Doug's menu)

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Sarah, you're not being a bitch! Sorry to sound snarky.

Yeah, IO = ImprovOlympic. We're seeing TJ and Dave, who are supposed to be the best improvisers in the city, according to my improv friends. We tried to go a couple months ago but didn't realize it was something that routinely sold out, so we were turned away at the box office.

So I apologize for coming off as a bitch sometimes.

when has this happened, ever?

― Bodhisattva, let me take you by the hand (kenan), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

ok, serious question: "Cut loose like a deuce" vs. "Wrapped up like a douche"?

― Bodhisattva, let me take you by the hand (kenan), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link

The former.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link

But why would anyone ever say that?

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess I worry that sometimes I cross the line from coming off a little prudish to just being a bitch, but also I tend to worry too much, so you can just ignore that.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:43 (seventeen years ago) link

if you're asking about "blinded by the light" it's "revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night".

it's "revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night"

but springsteen says "cut loose like a deuce". I think I like that better.

Who wraps up a douche? Worst Valentine's present ever (FYI, John).

Speaking of being a raging alcoholic, I'm going to Old Timer's tomorrow after my afternoon class (partially in hopes of getting home at a reasonable hour since I have to work early on Friday morning) and encourage all of you who have flexible work schedules to join me.

Sarah you are NOT a bitch. I loves you.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 17:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I think Sarah's attitudes towards alcohol are influenced by the fact that both of her parents are practically teatotalers.

― n/a (n/a), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks, Jennycakes.

I just made Valentine's plans, meaning a yummy dinner at home, cupcakes, and Lost. :-D

Those happen to be Nick's plans too. Nick, Hi.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi guys.

The snowbanks on Lakeshore around 57th street today were quite impressive!

I second Sarah's non-bitchiness.

Fuck Valentine's Day.

I am looking forward to my day off on Friday.

I would hang out tomorrow because I have the day off Friday, what time Jenny?

Thus endeth my update. Carry on.

Oh! By the way this was hilarious and made me snort water up my nose: Who wraps up a douche? Worst Valentine's present ever (FYI, John). Kudos!

A Y-Wing or whatever that is would be pretty sweet.

I'd go for the barrel of money, myself.

They're only sad because they do not have mouths.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I think maybe what I thought yesterday was something stuck between my molars is actually a chipped tooth.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Aghgh!

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:50 (seventeen years ago) link

At least you have a mouth, dude.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 19:30 (seventeen years ago) link

MmMMmbmbmmmmm. MMmmnbnbmbmbm, mmmm mb mememmmbmbmm.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 19:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Those two Refused songs were awesome (the one you're referencing and the "WHAT FREQUENCY ARE YOU LISTENING? IS IT NOISE OR SWEET SWEET MUSIC?" song).

― n/a (n/a), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I like Refused.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know who Refused is, but the name reminds me of Disturbed or The Used. I am guessing Refused is probably more awesome than either of those bands, though.

Wow, I hate that music but they're such cute emo geeks under the bunny suits.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 19:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a video for "Liberation Frequency," the song I was talking about, but you can watch a high school band play it really badly in a gym here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-UWT5bbTCkY.

If you're into that kind of thing.
