i was there

Good morning.

Hey, is it Radiohead Download Day yet?

If I won a million dollars, I would:
* First pay off all my debts
* Then give each family member an elaborate present (including Nick)
* Then go on a vacation, maybe to Greece
* Then buy a small bungalow with a manageable yard

I guess it would be nice for me to do something for you guys too... Hmm... What would you like?

WHAT? That didn't spark any discussion??

I'm in a good mood today. Watch out.

Okay, I think I'm receiving more e-mails not intended for me. This was last week, and I responded thusly:

Guys

Tuesday October 9th at 6:30 p.m. we will be gathering to bless jordan with our words of wisdom and spiritual encouragement

Mike Bett1no has graciously opened his house. I'll provide food and beverages.

please bring words of wisdom for the future married man, and especially a spiritual blessing, maybe a verse or passage that has ment a lot to you. we will have a time to share , encourage and pray for him.

Also i thought it would be fun to give manly gifts to jordan,such as tools or whatever you think he might need or like, if you can.

If you think of anyone that might like to come that i have overlooked please let me know

hope you all can join us,

terry

Gifts, dude! GIFTS 4 U

I thought about it, Sarah, and then I thought how you already threw a great party (wedding), and how a Thirsty Thursday with cognac would just be decadent, and how Vegas would not be a consensus vacation, and so there's not much else I can think of, unless you wanted to give us each a check for $5,000 and enjoy hearing the stories of how we spent it.

Jordan, this sounds like a Twilight Zone episode where you show up at the house and it's a parallel version of you marrying the grown version of a girl you liked when you were 8.

I wish I knew where it was! All I find about this Bett1no character is someone at Cerritos College in CA and this: There at the helm was 16-year-old Mike Bett1no,. handling the wheel like a veteran.The captain grinned. and relaxed; for a moment he'd forgotten about the ...

Forgotten about the WHAT????

57 DEGREES

I'm in a bad mood, too. My morning already sucks between the swamp heat, my foot hurting, and walking all the way to the train without my wallet and going all the way home again. And being PMSy and so clumsy that when I tried to fan myself with my book this morning, I popped myself in the lip with the hardcover edges.

I have got to find a new job, I hate these people. They bitch and bitch about being "so busy" and having "so much to do", but they are apparently not busy enough to keep them from shooting out the door at 5:00 on the button like a rocket. Meanwhile, I'm working 10-12 hour days to keep up with the workload. Fuck you all.

I killed yr thread with my big fucking bitterness.

I'll bring it back by declaring my love for/addiction to 7-11 sausage egg and cheese muffins. Yum.

jordan, congrats on your upcoming wedding!

haha

I had cinnamon toast, the breakfast of champions.

I had a Caribou coffee bar and some vanilla yogurt.

That oatmeal squares cereal, that's what I had.

On Sunday when I didn't have to work, I made a croque madame with gruyere and French sourdough bread and a cafe au lait, and quite frankly my job is not worth getting up early and going through commuting hell and passing up that breakfast.

I am going to make myself pancakes, I think.

i'm waiting for the record store to open so i can sell some records and buy some food. i think it would be cheaper if i just kept smoking because i can't stop eating when i'm off them. i ran out of food yesterday and was eating things that technically are food but really aren't like left over tortillas and cheese or my attempt at making bisuits.

there's a small chance that this apple-scented candle that's on my coffee table won't see the end of the week.

Is there any free food at work, Kevin?

ouch.

Oh shit! I'm so sorry. I swear that wasn't on purpose!

I need my f'n morning snack. SO SORRY.

haha bogus

chicago kevin is the henry miller of our times

I...I...I was just trying to think of what I did when I didn't have money for food. Answer? Lots of free microwave popcorn at work.

omg i slept so well last night

thank you so much, weather, i <3 you

Still a walking swamp, here. :( Weather, I hate you.

Hey guys, this is that fondue/beer/cheese/burgers place that I really liked but can never remember the name of: http://chicagoburgerproject.blogspot.com/2007/10/hot-chocolate.html

One of my friends was training for a marathon and came home needing a "protein dream", so we splurged on burgers there and it was awesome.

We almost ate brunch at that place on Saturday. We stood in the doorway for a while before moving on.

They have a lot of foreign beers that I had never heard of before, they were in wine bottle sizes and meant to be split among the table.

I had a really delicious beer I can't remember the name of the only time I went there.

I drank the whole thing--oops!

I moved to Chicago 3 years ago today!

Happy anniversary!

Why does the power go out in the West Loop so much? My predecessor left me a whole set of instructions for what to do after a power failure and said that it happens a lot. And it has twice now. It goes out in a 3 or 4 block area usu. from what the lawyers say.

hi dere
