I'm listening to Deer Hunter, drinking coffee, and munching on cinnamon raisin bread.

Any crazy episodes from last night I should hear about?

We ended up not having practice. Instead, we went to CVS (fun!), bought paper for the (wedding) invitations, visited with the Ice Fact0ry guys, and then ate at Handlebar.

I just realized that wasn't a piece of paper towel on my c.r.bread, but mold, so I had to throw the rest away. Now I will feel gross and weep softly.

Is this the thread where I list every smooth song that plays on the radio

Keep it coming, I'm chilling vicariously.

3van's wedding is next weekend and I don't think they ever sent the invitations out. Then again I haven't bought a gift yet, so we're even.

I am also listening to Deerhunter! Weird.

There's some instrumental weather channel jazz playing now that I cannot identify.

Episodes... well, I accidentally sicced a racist, anti-semetic, stinky union electrian on our table. Then we went to Galway Arms (to get away from the RA-SSUE) and my crazy professor came out and had drinks, too, and that was weird.

That would have been much cooler than what actually happened.

I listened to the new Modest Mouse album this morning. It sounds like Modest Mouse.

I have my itunes on shuffle now. I'm listening to public enemy now. Bass! How low can you go??

Meanwhile, I'm reading Magnetic Fields lyrics online.

SMOOOOOOOTH OPERATAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

That's on right now.

Hi, Jenny.

Ok, now I'm settled on Dukes of Stratosphear.

Who else is coming to the Green Mill tonight?

― Calico (calico), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi Sarah!

I think I will not make it to the GM tonight. :( I have to be at school at 7:30 tomorrow for another stupid bar exam review thing. I am scared to pile more drinks and less sleep on top of my existing hangover.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I am now listening to my coworker listening to something metal-y really loud on his headphones. It's annoying.

― n/a (n/a), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I hate noise leak! I think iPod headphones do that on purpose so you advertise the music you are listening to.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Looking at the GM schedule I wish I could come back next weekend. Ted Sirota's Rebel Souls on Friday (w/Jeff Parker, Jeb Bishop), Matt Wilson's (emo-looking jazz drummer dude) on Saturday.

That shirt!

Ewww.

― n/a (n/a), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll bet that shirt feels soft. That guy looks like a Proclaimer.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I think my grandma has that shirt, no joke.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I bet that shirt is soft and comfy but makes you sweaty. I more than bet that. I used to have a shirt like that in maroon.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:50 (seventeen years ago) link

That guy looks like a Proclaimer
That guy looks like a Proclaimer
A real-live Scottish flamer
And his twin his even lamer
That guy looks like a Proclaimer!

"What you won't do! You'll do for loooove... you'll try anything... but you won't give up."

Go West version or the whatever-original-version-that-Jordan-knows?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Original, dawg.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Go West is better.

Any crazy episodes from last night I should hear about?

What was the RA-SSUE's best quote of the night? He said some funny stuff that was not related to calling Oprah the n-word.

― Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone (kenan), Friday, 16 February 2007 16:31 (seventeen years ago) link

He talked about the greatness of AA while slurring his way through his umpteenth Bud of the night.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Friday, 16 February 2007 16:32 (seventeen years ago) link

See, again, that was just sad. He said things that were funny! Jesse remembers.

― Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone (kenan), Friday, 16 February 2007 16:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Exhibit A of why I don't hang out on ILM much. I mean, come on, kids. She's 20 years old. She does not suck. She is not the greatest thing in the world, either, but JESUS you assholes are hatey.

Also why I can't read British music magazines.

Kenan, I think the key part of that thread is this:

Is it too early for lunch? Because I'm hungry like the wolf.

You two should get together.

OK, so you know this new project I started at work? The one where I was excited because I'm sort of a project manager now instead of a lowly copy editor? I just found out that the two people who are in charge of it have just been laid off. I've worked on the damn thing for a week, and I already have seniority. Supposedly it's still going forward, but nobody's sure exactly how.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 16 February 2007 16:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Under your guidance, it would seem.

If Jack was snarling over a burrito instead of a deer corpse, that would be prettty right on for me.

Maddie came over last night and we got some greaseball chain (Pizza Hut) pizza. I always feel like I need to go through detox after eating that stuff.

Good thing I'll be on a diet of straight Fiesta Mexicana, encased meats, and fried shrimp this weekend.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 16 February 2007 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I drank too much last night

I talked to Jenny's professor, which was NOT EASY with as much beer as I had in me, especially when she asked me things like "So why do you think New Orleans is worth saving?"

!!!

you should have said, "whatever, go get yourself a shirt, lady!"

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 16 February 2007 17:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Jenny, go to the GM. Leslie says that you can watch that bar review thing on video. Or maybe I'm mixed up.

I like Leslie. More Leslie.

She wasn't exactly arguing against the rebuilding, but she wanted to hear a good argument for it.
