Chicago: Become Familiar with its Distinctive Neighborhoods

Wash your hair less and condition.

Alternately use a less harsh shampoo.

craving bean burrito: la pasadita or picante?

i don't think i could wash my hair any less than i currently do. i will get some conditioner.

jaymc, can you send me the url for yr latest crossword again? i want to print it out at work.

Haha, sorry, Jordan! I didn't know if you were one of those guys who uses bar soap in the shower every day, like.

Uh, I do do that, I just don't wash my hair much! :)

I had a feeling...I think my brother uses Dr Bronner's for EVERYTHING.

Jordan, I made all of them public on my Flickr page. The newest one is #6.

(Btw, I e-mailed B3n T@us1g yesterday to see if he wanted to give me some feedback!)

oh thx, that's what threw me off. i printed out the most recent one on your flickr and realized i had done it already.

xpost, that is awesome

you could get a special shampoo too, jordan. leaf uses the neutrogena t gel stuff for his baldy head but there are lots of options, including a few natural ones.

I absolutely have to wash my hair every day or else 1. I look like my hair is wet (I have super-fine hair), 2. I lose my fucking mind, 3. my face gets oily.

i can't go more than one day w/o washing or it just looks very obviously oily.

dudes, seriously, i think i have some sort of burrito problem. i just visited taco bell's site to see if there was one somewhere in the loop. there isn't but there is one at the oglivie transportation center i guess. i found myself thinking "i could get off at monroe then walk down to madison, cross the river then maybe get back on at clinton?" FOR A TACO BELL TACO. god help me.

er, taco bell burrito.

Taqueria Moran, dude.

I just got an email from my mom saying they had to put the cat down. RIP Polly Dactyl :(

who are you calling moran?

sorry about kitty big yella.

There is a Taco Bell down Stony Island at 87th street, near the entrance ramp for the Skyway.

Aww, sorry Dan. :( Did she have lots of toes?

i'm not taking a bus 27 blocks south! the metra will get me back to the loop before the #28 bus could get me down there. i just have to hold out until i'm on the blue line. if the train isn't too crowded and i can get off at division i'm going to la pasadita. if i can't get off until damen i'm going to picante.

why would you go to taco bell in CHICAGO?!

Yup, she had 26 toes. Her paw prints are in a section of cement walkway my folks had put in a couple of years ago, so there is some proof.

Taqueria Moran, under the Cali stop. That's where you want to go, man. I only mentioned the TB down south because our old boss used to go there when he was having bad days. It's not even a walk-in restaurant, it has two drive thrus and that's it.

is that the place that's just south of the el on the east side of the street? or is it across the street from the station house on the west side?

Across the street. Best salsa verde I've had in my time here, and the rest of the food is pretty unfadeable too.

People who've seen No Country for Old Men: is it important that I see it on a good screen? I'm thinking about seeing it tonight, and I can either go to the Davis, which is right near my place, or the Landmark, which I'd have to drive to but which is a better theater.

And by "tonight" I mean in a half hour.

yah, mang, it's Coen Bros, you want to see the bells and whistles!

Sorry about the kitty, dan.

Not to be morbid or insensitive, but have you ever considered taxidermy on a deceased pet? I would probably do it with Brenda. But not the bird. That would suck.

Yeah, I think I'll regret it if I don't. OK, later!

have you ever considered taxidermy on a deceased pet
sadly, yes. it's gonna be hard to say goodbye to my little mister man when his time comes. I'm not going to do it, but I have thought about it.

rip pretty polly

I have thought about taxidermying my own foot.

If I ever get testicular cancer...

oh, not even I can go on with this post.

So the "dead girl in plastic" was no problem but taxidermy your own testicles and it's just too ridiculous/awful to postulate. Just trying to get the hang of this "posting" thing, that's all.

I've considered taxidermy on a living pet sometimes.

In defense of Kenan, he was just responding to my Laura Palmer pic.

Yeah, I still don't know wtf the laura palmer pic was for. I was just trying to be wtf along with.

i think jesse was talking about something else wrapped in plastic?

Alright ALRIGHT YOU GOT ME. I THINK DEAD GIRLS ARE HOT, OKAY?! I ENJOY SEX WITH THE DEAD! IS THAT A CRIME???!!!

I said something (?) was wrapped in plastic, and I posted of pic of Laura Palmer b/c of Jack Nance's quote.

oh i missed the quote.

ok i am going away again, i have fallen out of practice with this whole "posting" thing.

i should have asked someone for the Twin Peaks box for chanukah

Oh wow! I was going to say that the box set sucked, but they have a new Gold Edition that doesn't suck.

Yeah, it looks sweet.

you said you had GAY PORN wrapped in plastic

i saw No Country at the Davis and was fine with the picture but i think i'm probably not as picky about that stuff as other people

my office party is thurs in evanston and i don't want to go home between work and the party so i was thinking i'd go see a movie at the big evanston theater in the afternoon. what should i go see?

i put the twin peaks box on my amazon wishlist but i'd feel a little guilty if anyone actually bought it because it's kinda $$$. but i wouldnt' feel THAT guilty

i think i'm choosing between "i'm not there" and "the mist" as movie choices.

Jeff and I saw The Golden Compass this past weekend and it was entertaining. There are FIGHTING BEARS in it, which is cool.

I have often contemplated having Sample made into a cat-skin hat, with her face on the front and her tail hanging down in the back.

What else...

OH - there is a Taco Bell in the Thompson Center. More convenient than Ogilvie and you can walk from one or more Metra stops there via the pedway and NEVER ACTUALLY GO OUTSIDE.

I am getting a tattoo on Wednesday, April 2, 2008 at 5 PM from this guy http://www.timbiedron.com/index.html (getting something designed in the style of his paintings). He's IN DEMAND. I had to wait since July to even schedule this appointment for April.
