Chicago: Jesus just left.

Does anyone have a favorite salmon recipe? I have 12 oz. of salmon in the freezer and am looking for something to do with it.

Speaking of which, I had the Hawaiian sunfish "tilapia" at Glenn's Diner last night, which was delicious. I wondered why tilapia was in quotes: is it possible it wasn't actually tilapia? I should've asked.

So this Charlotte Gainsbourg record is good, but it sounds just like an Air album featuring Charlotte Gainsbourg on every track.

I don't really listen to Air so that doesn't bother me.

Grand Rapids was a good time. There were some seriously weird people at the bar.

Wish I could have brunched with Jordan, but I work Sat. mornings. :(
Plus I am under le weather.

I don't think it happened, A.

Yo,

You can now find

BEST OF SONIC YOUTH
BEST OF STEREOLAB
JAYMC'S POST-ROCK MIX

at the old blog (the CH1LX one, not the CH1LX0RZ one)

(because I don't know how to post on the new one, I think someone needs to give me permission or something?)

Love ya.

Huh. We walked by a little grocery store yesterday that had "tilapia." But they also had "ham" and "cheese," so I don't think that means much in that case.

I am downloading the post rock mix and finally downloading Kenan's mix and finally putting those and Nick's mix on my mp3 player. ALRIGHT YEAH ALRIGHT.

OK.

Every time I try to open a .pdf file from the internet (Firefox and IE) it freezes up. This has been going on since I last successfully opened one last week. When I tried to print it to a file, it froze and nothing's been right in .pdf land ever since. This will make taxes a little harder.

Never mind. I figured it out. See, what happened was that it got stuck printing to file and had been stuck thusly for days. Now it's all better and there are .pdfs for every good girl and boy.

Yo, John, bro, your girl Busy P. was on Entourage tonight.

Has anyone heard of the recording artist called Chingy? My busser was singing a Chingy song near where a couple could have heard him, and I had to tell him that the lyrics were offensive, and especially to the Asian woman who made up half of the couple. The words:

[Hook 2X: Chingy + (Girl)]
[Chingy] What's up?
(Why yo eyes so chinky?) I dunno
(Is it because you've been smoking and drinking?)
Maybe so
(I've been thinking) huh?
(Maybe you come get me) and do what?
Wine me, dine me, take me home and eat me
Okay

It's offensive that he didn't rhyme "wine me, dine me" with the obvious sex act, but chose "eat me."

Yo, John, bro, your girl Busy P. was on Entourage tonight.

I think she's Jordan's girl!

Has anyone heard of the recording artist called Chingy?

Yes, he's the St. Louis rapper (Nelly protege) responsible for the song "Right Thurr" (which Lady Sovereign parodies on "Random") and the less popular "Holidae Inn." There used to be a huge billboard on a building next to the White Hen at Clark and Catalpa advertising his debut album Jackpot. No idea what he's been up to in the last 2-3 years, though.

Oh my. http://tv-links.co.uk/ SO HANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW. FUCK YOU, CABLE.

I've seen things that would make you crap a book on how to puke.

Wow, that website.

It's wonderful! It has a lot of stuff, and no downloading! I could have used that this summer in NO.

The video for Chingy's song "Powerballa" (or maybe it's "Powerballin'") has a pinball theme. That's all I've seen/heard.

So The Arcade Fire. I really like them. I guess I could see the music being overly dramatic for some people, but I like it all right. The words are really good.

Busy is my girl.

I can't believe I went out AGAIN tonight. I wouldn't have except that Youngbl00d was playing tonight. ANyway I got back to Madison okay and the cats weren't dead.

The Arcade Fire are gay.

I hate you.

Who will go with me to see the Arcade Fire on May 18? WHO?

OK, I think I've worn out the funny on that.

The only Arcade Fire song I've heard sounds too much like "On The Dark Side" by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, so if you like them do not listen to this song and if it comes through the speakers when you're in the White Hen at 3 a.m. cover your ears.

Oh dear.

Eric, I was thinking of you because the episode of The O.C. I just watched featured "Night Moves."

Eric-- Do you know a play about a woman who wants has decided to commit suicide because for no apparent reason? She tells her mother that she will fix her dinner and then go to the bathroom to shoot herself. She's not depressed, upset, or angry; she is just has decided to die. In the end she shoots herself in the bathroom. I think a woman wrote it.

because for no apparent reason....

'night Mother by Marsha Norman. Really good play.

As opposed to 'night Moves by Bob Seger (so good).

I just found it! http://www.storyispromise.com/night.htm Thanks though. The keywords in this search were "play suicide mother gun." This play is pretty great. I wish I had kept my Modern Drama textbook.

Maybe she is a little upset, if not depressed.

"And I can't do anything either, about my life, to change it, make it better, make me feel better about it. Like it better, make it work. But I can stop it. Shut it down, turn it off like the radio when there's nothing on I want to listen to."

Eric, have you read/seen Top Girls? And do you remember a play set in Victorian times in Africa? In it the roles are all mixed up--some men play women, women play men, grown man plays a little boy.

Yeah, I've seen it a few times, and it's probably one of my favorite plays (though it's hard in production to connect the first act with the rest). Cloud Nine, also by Caryl Churchill, is the one about Victorians in Africa, and that one I've seen two so-so productions of. Top Girls is the real dazzler.

She also has a play called The Skriker that is about a thousand-year-old British shapeshifter in contemporary London who speaks like she has a brain disorder. The opening lines are:
"Heard her boast beast a roast beef eater. Daughter could spin span spick and spun the lowest form of staw into golden lion and lyonesse under the sea, dungeonesse under the castle for bad mad sad adders and takers away. NeVer marry a kingsize, well beloved. Sees a little backjack thingalingo with a long long tale awinding. May day, she cried, may pole asked me to help her. So I spin the sheaves shoves shivers into golden guild and geld and if she can't guessinggame and safety match my name then I'll take her no mistake no mister no missed her no mist no miss no me no. Is it John Jack the ladder in your stocking is it Joke? Is it Alexander Sandro Andrew Dersteignton? No 't ain't, says I, no tainted meat me after the show me what you've got. Then pointing her finger says Tom tit tot! Out of her purple lippety loppety, out of her mouthtrap, out came my secreted garden flower of my youth and beauty and the beast is six six six o'clock in the morning becomes electric stormy petrol bomb. Revengance is gold mine sweet. Fe fi fo fumbledown cottage pie crust my heart and hope to die. My mother she killed me and put me in pies for sale away and home and awayday. Peck out her eyes have it. I'll give you three wishy washy. An open grave must be fed up you go like dust in the sunlight of heart. Gobble google says the turkey turnkey key to my heart. Ready or not hear we come quick or dead of night sleep sleep tight."

I am going to have to buy some anthologies.

I'm making a shopping list for stocking my harem. So far the must-haves are

-Brandon Flowers
-TR Knight
-Eminem

I remember buying a ticket to see arcade fire for $8.00 at the Empty Bottle.

Then I sold it. Ha.

Warning, somewhat gross story ahead:

I got into work today and my chair was adjusted all weird, like someone else had been sitting in it. OK, not so strange, I was out on Friday and maybe someone was using my computer while I was out. Then I notice that my mouse was kind of sticky. Gross, someone was eating while using my computer. I go get some wet paper towels and clean it off. Then I start up my computer and open the internet, and notice that the last three pages visited on my computer were porn sites. ;_;

the western/congress blue line pooper is back ;_;


nothing like starting your day next to homeless person scat.

Gross on both counts, dudes.

oh man, the person i'm sharing this office with started this morning. and i've got cheap beer farts!


it's a big office but still.

And do you remember a play set in Victorian times in Africa? In it the roles are all mixed up--some men play women, women play men, grown man plays a little boy.

Ha, the first time I ever saw Matt from C@n@st@, he was dressed up as a woman in Cloud Nine.

OK, now that I think about it, it wasn't the FIRST time. We were also doing improv together, and we both had American Music that quarter -- but it was one of my first impressions of him.

Mornin Chicago. Hope your weekend was a roaring success.

The Departed is better the second time around, better even than I remember it being.

and i've got cheap beer farts!

Oh man I feel your pain. I do not have cheap beer farts, but I have eaten nothing but beans and vegetables all weekend. I am currently also the flatulent sort. :(

Thanks for sharing, guys.

You wanna see sharing, drop by my office.
