no i wasn't horny and i wasn't drunk at the time i noticed it. most of these girls appeared to be a decade younger than me so it wasn't like i was ogling them with lacivious intent or anything. but you know that little thrill you get when you see a really cute girl do something really cute like laugh or smile? i was getting that every time i turned around.

it's a fun little narcotic.

Did she just break that guy's neck?

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:54 (twenty years ago)

That LaTeX book looks like it was published in 1986.

Did she just sever a man's head in that picture?

xpostiness aw, thanks for the compliments. aaaaand more xp

i have been looking at apartment listings. where do people look for apts when they're searching? craigslist, the reader, where else? i have a while to look (for a two bedroom! i will be living with a friend and two cats, woohoo!) but it's still going to drive me crazy because my default setting is some level of crazy.

hi jesse! i'm julia, rather obviously. i'm like that pic above except that i have cooler glasses now. they're black but they had no single white female intentions whatsoever, bah. they're differently shaped! chris saw them!

Installing LaTeX can be a chore, though.

She's pretty intense. She's a pediatric oncology nurse by day, studying to be a nurse practitioner by afternoon, and an actor at night.

She did not break that guy's neck. Some of you have met that guy with the black curly hair, for he is the guy who stole my air mattress.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:56 (twenty years ago)

This is how I'm spending my last day in Chicago. Killing time on the Chicago thread until the movie starts (at 4:30). I'm OK with that.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:57 (twenty years ago)

Julia, I just looked in the Reader and didn't even bother with Craigslist this last time I moved. Between the two of those, I feel like you should be pretty set.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:57 (twenty years ago)

they're black but they had no single white female intentions whatsoever, bah. they're differently shaped! chris saw them!

Whatever. You know you're just trying to copy me. Because I'm the only hipster in the world with square black plastic frames.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:58 (twenty years ago)

That LaTeX book looks like it was published in 1986.

Haha, the original copyright is 1985!

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:59 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, cross-species love was really big in the mid-80s.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:00 (twenty years ago)

I want some new frames (and NEED a new prescription), but when I went to the shi-shi glasses place in downtown Portland I liked my current ones better than everything in the store.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:01 (twenty years ago)

thanks, jaymc. i'll find something, it's just daunting stuff to think about.

do i look like chris' friend because i look like i have potential head-severing capabilities? that would be kind of cool. badass and stuff.

― Juulia (julesbdules), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:01 (twenty years ago)

I realize that might not be the most "separated at birth" photo, but how can you say no to that photo?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:02 (twenty years ago)

xpost to Jordan Yeah, I had the same experience last time. Just get the eye exam and new lenses, and save a couple hundred.

Funny thing is, these glasses were the epitome of indie cool when I got them several years ago, but I found them on the bargain rack for, like, $60. Why? I was in Houston.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:03 (twenty years ago)

I'm off to the gymnasium for some exercise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

― unclejessjess (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:03 (twenty years ago)

Actually, I remember distinctly -- I bought them because the looked like the glasses Justin Theroux wears in Mulholland Drive, and I was obsessed with that movie.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:04 (twenty years ago)

Good luck at the gym, dude. Spin one for me.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:04 (twenty years ago)

Haha, the original copyright is 1985!

Oh, I assumed it was like some super-new programming language. I'm still under the impression that the only language that existed in 1985 was BASIC.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:05 (twenty years ago)

LaTeX isn't even a programming language.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:06 (twenty years ago)

xpost and maybe LOGO.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:06 (twenty years ago)

LaTeX is like, I dunno, HTML X-TREEEEEEEEEEM. It's for layout, especially designed for complicated math formulas and the like.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:07 (twenty years ago)

I won a graphics contest in third grade using Logo. Glory days, ah, they'll pass you by...

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:08 (twenty years ago)

most successful for me was walking around the neighborhood in which i wanted to live and looked for 'for rent' signs. but hey! i just moved out of a two bedroom on augusta that was a pretty nice place. where you looking to go?

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:09 (twenty years ago)

I once implemented Logo in Javascript. I think that was my geekiest moment ever.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:09 (twenty years ago)

Markup language is the correct term, I believe. But yeah, it's very much like HTML, they're both based off of SGML, work with XML, etc etc etc.

xpost: OH SHIT LOGO! You are my new hero for reminding me of that!

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:09 (twenty years ago)

Whatever, nerds.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:11 (twenty years ago)

"gymnasium" sounds all old-fashioned, like you'll be punching a punching bag and doing lots of push ups or something.

i'm looking to move to edgewater or lakeview probably, and my friend lives in edgewater already and will be walking around and checking things out. i need a building with an elevator, which makes things more challenging.

― Juulia (julesbdules), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:12 (twenty years ago)

Soon I'll go to the gym.

I found my current apt. by walking around. It's a method I recommend. That and word of mouth.

― unclejessjess (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:15 (twenty years ago)

Think older than that. He's going to a Spartan-style gymnasium to exercise naked among the disporting youth. Then he will be covered in olive oil and his sweat and grit will be scraped off by a strigil.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:16 (twenty years ago)

I need to go to the gym. I was sick and now I'm working late all week and getting fat on takeout. Blech.

Eye doctor, gym, dentist, and find somewhere new to live next year too.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:16 (twenty years ago)

I'm in the apartment market now too. Has anyone ever dealt with N0rth Clyb0urn Realty? They're all up on Craigslist's jock right now.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:16 (twenty years ago)

In your daydreams.

― unclejessjess (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:18 (twenty years ago)

Jesse was totally wearing an oldfashioned athletic men's uniform.

OTTO, I am pretty much broke. Thus, I didn't go to any shows this weekend. I do hope to go to another show some day.

Dan, Yes, that's who we used to get our current apartment. They were really nice. Their office was fun too - very hip and full of young smiling people (our age). I wanted to work there.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:18 (twenty years ago)

A strigil! I was wondering what those things were called the other day.
It's balmy here lads, balmy! Which means outside exercise for me today, after lugging all my crap from work to the car.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:19 (twenty years ago)

Don't make me lug this tin of olive oil back to Portland!

― Casuistry and his strigil (Chris Piuma), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:19 (twenty years ago)

Also, OTTO, I was just sort of hoping you'd introduce us so I wasn't just someone random emailing them, that's all.

Everybody get random.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:19 (twenty years ago)

Everybody, give me lyrics for a song about cake. Quick! I have practice tonight!

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:20 (twenty years ago)

Also, give me some cake!

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:21 (twenty years ago)

I'm on the mic like Kerri Kenny in Cake Like

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:22 (twenty years ago)

Jesse, later today:

tons of apartments available on my street and surrounding areas, ie, the streets between Clark and Broadway and Lawrence and Berwyn. Argyle is full of for rent signs. Actually, the place next door to me is available. 3rd floor walk-up, 1 bedroom, huge back porch, pretty basic, 625/month, parking avail. for $65 a month (!)

― unclejessjess (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:22 (twenty years ago)

He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone
In her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse,
He's going the distance.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:23 (twenty years ago)

We used Clybourne when we moved here. Nice guy took us around to a bunch of slightly over-priced WP and UkV apartments. We ended up taking one we found on our own.

― gbx (skowly), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:23 (twenty years ago)

That's Cake for ya, right there.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:24 (twenty years ago)

All right, off to the olive grove.

― unclejessjess (unclejessjess), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:24 (twenty years ago)

Cake Like -- are they one of those bands from the vaunted mid-90s Maritime Canada scene (cf. Sloan, Jale, Eric's Trip)?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:24 (twenty years ago)

I wonder if more songs have been written about pie than cake.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:25 (twenty years ago)

My cake lyrics:

You can make it our of flour, you can make it out of cheese
You can top it off with frosting, that's always sure to please
It's CAKE!
(yeah yeah yeah)
Yeah CAKE!
(yeah yeah yeah)
