Chicago: Become Familiar with its Distinctive Neighborhoods

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.

Get this one:

I can safely say that if I were dating someone and they had a tattoo of a bloody bunny being stabbed to death by a carrot, I would break up with that person.

No, wait. This one:

I don't love most of his tattoos, but I do love his drawings and painting such as:

tonight i swam (badly), played basketball (pretty badly), and bought plane tickets to new orleans

I got the Laura Palmer pic. There was (maybe still is) a Twin Peaks fan-club newsletter called "Wrapped in Plastic."

Also, I esp. like that owl drawing.

So what we've learned today:

- Laura Palmer wrapped in plastic = classic
- ANTM-hopeful wrapped in plastic = dud
- Judging Kenan harshly and rashly = dud

And owl pictures = classic

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

I should've just seen it at the Davis, since I wound up missing the first 5 minutes. I don't think I missed much, though.

I <3 the Davis.

Dan, I'm sorry to hear about the kitty. :-(

For the record, I would never want a pet stuffed. I would just get a new (live) pet. Just like I don't appreciate open casket viewings AT ALL.

Bosses are out again today! WOOP WOOP!

Aaaannnd they came in after all. :-(

I am getting a tattoo tonight!!

First five minutes = some Tommy Lee Jones voiceover, and Llwellyn hunting. He shoots some deer-like creature, wounds it, follows it, sees a wounded dog, then tracks the dog to the drug deal site (guessing you came in around there?).

Jesse, what are you getting?

this, only in watercolor-style?

that little fella is so cute i can't stand it

I can't find the image anymore, but it's a silhouette of Don Quixote.

A coworker brought in her dog this morning. She is a really sweet poodle named Maude. She sat on my lap and rested her head on her paws for a while.

Yup. I came in as Llewellyn was surveying the carnage. The guy at the box office assured me that all I was missing was a "monologue."

I was confused for the first 1/3 of the movie as to why Josh Brolin's character was named Lu-Ellen.

No Jordan, I meant to mention that it isn't the Picasso one, though I did consider that too. It's from a Tshirt in some museum gift shop, I think.

Um, I just noticed the busts in that image. Did you do that? Is that Cervantes?

At least one is Shakespeare.

haha, i don't know, i just grabbed the first version off of gis

vote in my Fishing with John poll!

your what?

I don't understand a single one of the options in that poll. Or the title or the image.

i've never seen fishing with john, though i probably should

fine

it's really funny

Like Wet Hot American Summer??

Is that Cervantes?

It's Picasso, illustrating Don Quixote, kinda. And That book was written by Cervantes.

Like Wet Hot American Summer??

:(

I know the drawing is by Picasso, but I was asking if the bust that is not Shakespeare is of Cervantes.

Wait. Do you like or hate WHAS? (I love it)

oh, i love it too!

omg sisters

(I've never seen it)

Jeff and I are of like mind of the WHAT issue, iirc.

Tummer?

Wet Hot America T________?

WHAS, even

I voted dillon, but defoe is good too. I've got the dvd, would make a good artyfunny80s double feature with home of the brave.
