I had a dream about Mayor Rahm last night. We were at a party and he got too drunk and I was trying to help him call his goons to pick him up, and he wanted to go in the kitchen and eat so I took him there then went to collect his Blackberry and his jacket and tie that he'd taken off when he was dancing. I was trying to think of a way to ask him to help me get a job when my alarm went off.

hi guys. i feel pretty good today after a week of feeling crabby and irritable (primarily due to shitty sleep)
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 27 April 2012 15:07 (eleven years ago) link
Hi n/a. Congratulations.
Slow day at work. Anyone want to lunch with me? I am pretty sure that I can be in the Loop at almost any time.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 27 April 2012 15:10 (eleven years ago) link
i could lunch but not til 1:30 which usually seems too late for everyone else. can't switch my schedule around today, unfortunately.

having to take care of drunk rahm in a dream seems tiring
― mh, Friday, 27 April 2012 16:22 (eleven years ago) link
I think I preferred Daley to Rahm. Both are pushy dicks, but Rahm is more actively so.

Gonna have to agree with that aside from my longstanding opposition to nepotism in politics.

Haha I just saw the most awesome walk of shame guy slink off the El at Belmont. 20-something, looked like shit and was wearing a beer-stained t-shirt, jeans, and flip flops. When the train pulled in, he was leaning against the door with his eyes shut. LOL
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Saturday, 28 April 2012 13:41 (eleven years ago) link
R had a similar guy on her train to work recently. Said he passed out and half fell down, people were freaking out and calling the train operator trying to get them to stop but it was really obvious the kid was still drunk from the night before, reeking of booze etc.

Damn, I was near Jake's at 8 but just saw this now.
― caro's johnson (Eazy), Sunday, 29 April 2012 06:16 (eleven years ago) link
We were never really at Jake's. I dragged the Erica, the husband, and the 'rents to the Billy Goat below Michigan and Wacker. You know... the real one.
We drank until Erica's husband loosened up a bit, which is a good bit of drinking.

Great location -- puts you in the middle of things. The Jazz Record Mart is about two blocks away, very fun place to browse a bit.

The mayor’s casual-look upgrade included a laid-back meeting at his City Hall office. That’s where personal denim adviser, David Shelist, owner of popular jeans boutique The Denim Lounge, took Emanuel’s measurements for the perfect casual fit.

I think Rahm having a 31" inseam is vanity sizing. No way dude is that tall.
― Jeff, Monday, 30 April 2012 13:28 (eleven years ago) link
everything about that guy is phonyi should know, considering my background and continued high standing in the denim advisory industry.

hi guys
do you ever wish you could be banned from all of ilx except for the chicago threads? i do.
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:12 (eleven years ago) link
no, most of ilx I find so aggrieving I hardly ever end up looking at it
― Silky Slim (dan m), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:14 (eleven years ago) link
the problem is i get really bored at work and i have no self-control
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:15 (eleven years ago) link
I have never wished that. It's not too hard to avoid threads I don't like. Maybe you should just poke yourself with a thumb tack every time you enter one.
― Jeff, Monday, 30 April 2012 15:16 (eleven years ago) link
I think the key is to stay off of the threads that people who basically ilx ~all day~ frequent
― Silky Slim (dan m), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:16 (eleven years ago) link
also the threads where people ~do this~
~like me~
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:17 (eleven years ago) link
I've been really enjoying clusterfuck threads these days. I honestly wish I had more time to participate in them, but damn, arguing on the internet is a huge time commitment. It's like a full time job and I already have one of those.
― Jeff, Monday, 30 April 2012 15:18 (eleven years ago) link
i think you guys just need to post a lot more so i don't get bored enough to wander over to other threads. or i need a job that occupies more of my attention.
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:18 (eleven years ago) link
i have rarely gotten that aggravated, and any time i have raised a fuss i have almost immediately regretted it.
― former personal denim advisor to the mayor, (La Lechera), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:20 (eleven years ago) link
ilx never really aggravates me, though maybe that's just because I never get very involved? It is obviously a huge time-suck though

Some of you downtown workers should come with me to help me choose glasses some day. The guy at my optician's place was VERRRRRY nice and VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRY!!! helpful and I need a buffer and some advices. He gave me free contacts (beyond the trial pair) and extra boxes of free solution and he said that he would give me even more free contacts when they got another pair in and then he kept showing me glasses and telling me how great I looked.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:45 (eleven years ago) link
ChiLX's optician is great, and that guy is nice, but he's a little much. I don't want to sound horrible, especially when he's already given me about $25 worth or free contacts.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:56 (eleven years ago) link
Was he flirting? Do you go to Level still?
I'll help you pick out glasses.
I'm thinking about getting contacts again, mostly because my eyes are getting worse and I think I might be able to see better with them? I just have to get better and installation and removal.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:57 (eleven years ago) link
i def see better with contacts
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:57 (eleven years ago) link
since i only wear my glasses when i'm about to go to bed, i have this physiological response where wearing my glasses makes me sleepy. i wore my glasses to work last week and i felt pleasantly sleepy all day.
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:58 (eleven years ago) link
Glasses are just terrible. If it were 1988 and I wore glasses bigger than my face, they wouldn't be so bad, but today's small lenses cause such distortion.
Yes I go to L3v3l. I was not saying the name b/c that guy is going to find me. IDK if he was flirting. Maybe.
I'd love to get Lasik surgery. Even after seeing a video of the procedure;laksdf;kajlsdf. Courtney said that someone she works with or something got Lasik WITHOUT sedatives. ;__; I would absolutely not let that happen.
