why does getting laid have to get so weird?

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:04 (nineteen years ago)

I washed my laundry last night.

That sounds crazy, Kevin. When I go to bed at night, I have a tendency to think OH MY GOD my life is so crazy and overwhelming and when will it all calm down?! And then NIck reminds me I'm just being silly and that I do that every night.

Celibacy would simplify a number of things, it's true. Unfortunately it's sort of inimical to the happiness of most human beings, in the long run.

UH NO IT DOESN'T.

"Inimical" is a good word.

On the most recent episode of The O.C. I watched, Anna used the word "anathema" in front of the Cohens, and Peter Gallagher raised his not inconsiderable eyebrows and pointed and mouthed the word again, as if to say, "Nice catch, son!" The show is getting funnier.

“Essentialism—a belief in natural, immutable sex differences—is anathema to postmodernists, for whom sexuality itself, along with gender, is a ‘social construct’”

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:12 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, I hey, I've seen one of the gals in the headlining band at Ronny's before. Saw her play a saw.

― Eazy, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

ok so i'm not an essentialist and i'm not a postmodernist...

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:15 (nineteen years ago)

i'm pretty sure either nobunny or romance novels will headline as they are the two touring bands. the other two are locals.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:16 (nineteen years ago)

Oops, she's at the Note, not Ronny's. The Moaners (with a gal from Trailer Bride in the band). No drama there.

“Essentialism—a belief in natural, immutable sex differences—is anathema to postmodernists, for whom sexuality itself, along with gender, is a ‘social construct’”

I still believe that to some degree. I always drew the line at Judith Butler's insistence that sex itself -- not gender, but physical maleness or femaleness -- is also a social construct.

Kevin and Laurel and hard names to rhyme

Kevin: seven, eleven, heaven... Piven...

Laurel: ...

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:16 (nineteen years ago)

don't forget "unleaven"

laurel- coral, morrel (kinda), . . .

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

Women can have babies and men sure cannot, but beyond those basic biological differences I just don't know. My bottom line is that I remain fundamentally skeptical of any claim that women are intrinsically like X while men are intrinsically like Y. I like Catharine MacKinnon's view of it: social constructs of gender are so deeply ingrained in us and everything we do that we'll really never know. Rather than saying that men are like this while women are like that, I like the point of view that men and women come to situations with different experiences to explain how men and women can have divergent takes on the same set of facts.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

all i know about gender relations is that CBS sitcoms are OTM.

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

Oh see, I am prounouncing Laurel like "Lawwwwrel" and not "Lorrel." The latter certainly opens up more rhyming possibilities,

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

[Removed Illegal Link]

they may not see eye to eye, but they wuv each other all the same!

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:24 (nineteen years ago)

also, KEVIN should be pronounced "KENNY".

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:24 (nineteen years ago)

omg fuck me somebody please fix this stupid bug that lets me break everything like that

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:24 (nineteen years ago)

kenan, what the fuck are you doing with the goddamn italics? seriously now?

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

i think it happens when i open an image tage but close an i tag

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

and there's no fixing it.

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

You don't have to be moral, Laurel
You don't have to be leaven, Kevin

― Eazy, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:26 (nineteen years ago)

[/i] how about this?

― Eazy, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:26 (nineteen years ago)

leaven and kenny don't rhyme though.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

Don't have to be skenny, kenny (though it's okay if you are)

― Eazy, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:30 (nineteen years ago)

xpost but let's be nice and not try to work "oral" into anything, tempting as it may be

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

SOUNDS LIKE M- nevermind.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

Can't do TTs tonight alas alas.

― Eazy, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:38 (nineteen years ago)

Kevin and Laurel
Had seven big quarrels
But all of them ended quite well.

Until Laurel and Kevin
Brought up morals and heaven,
and each of them said "Go to hell."

― jaymc, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:38 (nineteen years ago)

*applause*

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:39 (nineteen years ago)

yes i would wager on issues of morality laurel and i are at different ends of the spectrum what with her neo-con leanings and all.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

I would TT a little.

Kevin, I meant it when I said I'd get yr back. I haven't had a rousing round of fisticuffs with a willing pugilist in a while.

― dan m, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

she's a teetotalling bible-thumping prude, we all know that

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

I can't do TT tonight, but I support reinstatement of TTs if they have been uninstated somehow.

― horseshoe, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:42 (nineteen years ago)

dan, that whole situation is too rediculous for me to be a part of it so i'm not going. but thanks man, i appreciate it.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

Anyone want to have brunch on Saturday?

― Jordan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:44 (nineteen years ago)

Jordan, my middle name is Brunch. We're playing in Grand Rapids tomorrow night and I don't know yet when we're getting back, but you have our cell numbers, right? If we're back already, I'd love to brunch it up.

― KitCat, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:03 (nineteen years ago)

Will you be around Sunday too?

― KitCat, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:05 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I'd be down with Saturday brunch.

― jaymc, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:09 (nineteen years ago)

Yep, I'll give you guys a call. I'd like to leave Chicago around 2:00 because I've got film fest tickets for Saturday night in Madison.

― Jordan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:12 (nineteen years ago)

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH!

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:18 (nineteen years ago)

That's what yuppie zombies say.
