Huh. It's been quite a long while since I've thought to physically objectify Barbra. Each day is full of mystery, innit?
― kenan, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 22:24 (sixteen years ago) link
Anyway, like I was saying, I don't much care for her version of Send in the Clowns. Judy Collins gets the sad part across, and has a wilting blossom quality; Frank does my favorite version, sounding kinda pissed off but too sad and tired to do anything about it; and Barbra sounds merely professional. It's not a BAD version of the song, it just seems that she didn't bring anything to it besides Barbra-ness. At which I shrug.

Aw man, not enough bodies on the dance floor, eh? I hope they let you finish your set at least. Maybe they're hiring at the Admiral, though the dancers get to pick most of the songs for themselves.

the food. i had it for breakfast and went home early from work feeling shitty, thinking it might have just been residual hangover from new year's (oy), but then i felt better. however, i also put some in the sauce i made for dinner and now feel similarly shitty.
uhoh trychinosis!

what is up with the 10th ward, is it basically just indiana?
― n/a, Wednesday, 6 February 2008 17:33 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm in that narrow strip of the 32nd ward so i don't have the same alderman as any of my friends in the neighborhood. i remember last spring when i was at inner town they had a petition going around to try to stay open because a neighbor bought a condo next door and was trying to get them shut down. i couldn't sign despite living two blocks away.

The map shows what's happening nationally: Clinton is winning support among Hispanics (Pilsen = 25th ward, Little Village = 22nd) and older and working-class whites (Bridgeport = 11th, Jefferson Park = 45th); Obama is winning support among blacks (pretty much all the gray on the map consists of majority-black neighborhoods) and young college-educated whites (Lincoln Park = 43rd, Wicker Park = 1st, etc.).

Oh no! I wd not ever want to be stuck at the office!!
I've tried and tried to work out the brown shoe problem but for me there are SO many shades and values of brown that one pair never goes with all my wardrobe items in the brown/russet/autumn family. I gave up and have replaced brown shoes with either metallic ones (like a distressed bronze color) or I just wear brown clothes with colored shoes in red, yellow, whatever.
I do like those boots, Jesse.
