Chicago: Become Familiar with its Distinctive Neighborhoods

Yup, she had 26 toes. Her paw prints are in a section of cement walkway my folks had put in a couple of years ago, so there is some proof.

Taqueria Moran, under the Cali stop. That's where you want to go, man. I only mentioned the TB down south because our old boss used to go there when he was having bad days. It's not even a walk-in restaurant, it has two drive thrus and that's it.

is that the place that's just south of the el on the east side of the street? or is it across the street from the station house on the west side?

Across the street. Best salsa verde I've had in my time here, and the rest of the food is pretty unfadeable too.

People who've seen No Country for Old Men: is it important that I see it on a good screen? I'm thinking about seeing it tonight, and I can either go to the Davis, which is right near my place, or the Landmark, which I'd have to drive to but which is a better theater.

And by "tonight" I mean in a half hour.

yah, mang, it's Coen Bros, you want to see the bells and whistles!

Sorry about the kitty, dan.

Not to be morbid or insensitive, but have you ever considered taxidermy on a deceased pet? I would probably do it with Brenda. But not the bird. That would suck.

Yeah, I think I'll regret it if I don't. OK, later!

have you ever considered taxidermy on a deceased pet
sadly, yes. it's gonna be hard to say goodbye to my little mister man when his time comes. I'm not going to do it, but I have thought about it.

rip pretty polly

I have thought about taxidermying my own foot.

If I ever get testicular cancer...

oh, not even I can go on with this post.

So the "dead girl in plastic" was no problem but taxidermy your own testicles and it's just too ridiculous/awful to postulate. Just trying to get the hang of this "posting" thing, that's all.

I've considered taxidermy on a living pet sometimes.

In defense of Kenan, he was just responding to my Laura Palmer pic.

Yeah, I still don't know wtf the laura palmer pic was for. I was just trying to be wtf along with.

i think jesse was talking about something else wrapped in plastic?

Alright ALRIGHT YOU GOT ME. I THINK DEAD GIRLS ARE HOT, OKAY?! I ENJOY SEX WITH THE DEAD! IS THAT A CRIME???!!!

I said something (?) was wrapped in plastic, and I posted of pic of Laura Palmer b/c of Jack Nance's quote.

oh i missed the quote.

ok i am going away again, i have fallen out of practice with this whole "posting" thing.

i should have asked someone for the Twin Peaks box for chanukah

Oh wow! I was going to say that the box set sucked, but they have a new Gold Edition that doesn't suck.

Yeah, it looks sweet.

you said you had GAY PORN wrapped in plastic

i saw No Country at the Davis and was fine with the picture but i think i'm probably not as picky about that stuff as other people

my office party is thurs in evanston and i don't want to go home between work and the party so i was thinking i'd go see a movie at the big evanston theater in the afternoon. what should i go see?

i put the twin peaks box on my amazon wishlist but i'd feel a little guilty if anyone actually bought it because it's kinda $$$. but i wouldnt' feel THAT guilty

i think i'm choosing between "i'm not there" and "the mist" as movie choices.

Jeff and I saw The Golden Compass this past weekend and it was entertaining. There are FIGHTING BEARS in it, which is cool.

I have often contemplated having Sample made into a cat-skin hat, with her face on the front and her tail hanging down in the back.

What else...

OH - there is a Taco Bell in the Thompson Center. More convenient than Ogilvie and you can walk from one or more Metra stops there via the pedway and NEVER ACTUALLY GO OUTSIDE.

I am getting a tattoo on Wednesday, April 2, 2008 at 5 PM from this guy http://www.timbiedron.com/index.html (getting something designed in the style of his paintings). He's IN DEMAND. I had to wait since July to even schedule this appointment for April.

Get this one:

I can safely say that if I were dating someone and they had a tattoo of a bloody bunny being stabbed to death by a carrot, I would break up with that person.

No, wait. This one:

No no no get this:

I don't love most of his tattoos, but I do love his drawings and painting such as:

tonight i swam (badly), played basketball (pretty badly), and bought plane tickets to new orleans

I got the Laura Palmer pic. There was (maybe still is) a Twin Peaks fan-club newsletter called "Wrapped in Plastic."

Also, I esp. like that owl drawing.

So what we've learned today:

- Laura Palmer wrapped in plastic = classic
- ANTM-hopeful wrapped in plastic = dud
- Judging Kenan harshly and rashly = dud

And owl pictures = classic

i saw No Country at the Davis and was fine with the picture but i think i'm probably not as picky about that stuff as other people

I should've just seen it at the Davis, since I wound up missing the first 5 minutes. I don't think I missed much, though.

I <3 the Davis.

Dan, I'm sorry to hear about the kitty. :-(

For the record, I would never want a pet stuffed. I would just get a new (live) pet. Just like I don't appreciate open casket viewings AT ALL.

Bosses are out again today! WOOP WOOP!

Aaaannnd they came in after all. :-(

I am getting a tattoo tonight!!

First five minutes = some Tommy Lee Jones voiceover, and Llwellyn hunting. He shoots some deer-like creature, wounds it, follows it, sees a wounded dog, then tracks the dog to the drug deal site (guessing you came in around there?).

Jesse, what are you getting?

this, only in watercolor-style?

that little fella is so cute i can't stand it

I can't find the image anymore, but it's a silhouette of Don Quixote.

A coworker brought in her dog this morning. She is a really sweet poodle named Maude. She sat on my lap and rested her head on her paws for a while.

Yup. I came in as Llewellyn was surveying the carnage. The guy at the box office assured me that all I was missing was a "monologue."
