Chicago: home of the President of the United fucking States

Glorrrrria, kind of like that

Imagine Bono yodelling.

come on it's better than that!

the video is pretty hilarious though

you can almost smell bono's armpit as he sings his heart out in an industrial wasteland

btw, yes, if no one else wants the tv and dvd player, i will gladly accept both as a donation to my school! maybe i can pick them up on wednesday, if i go to ddpp?

oh yeah, i know that song, pretty cool guitar part by "the edge" there

sounds good, amanda ... you're going to be driving, right? because the tv is pretty heavy.

I have been thinking about getting a small TV for my bedroom. Not that I want Nick's, I'm just saying that that's what I've been thinking.

You thinking about getting a small TV?

No, I know I'm gonna get a small TV; I'm thinking about poon-tang!

lol

I know the Laura Branigan and Patti Smith songs.

yeah, i'll drive if i come to pick up a tv.

i wonder how many hundreds of videos there are that could be described this way: "...sings his heart out in an industrial wasteland"

...and the ensuing discussion on ILM of whether or not the guy is really singing his heart out or not

What I want to know is, how did this girl know you were older? I mean, you don't look your age. Was Maggie singing obscure late '70s country songs again?

she was, and i sang rainbow so i guess that didn't help, but i have no idea how she knew we were older or why she thought it was necessary to mention it out loud

because she's a bitch amirite

i stated that earlier i think

speaking of tv has anyone bothered to get a digital converter yet?

I don't think I have to since my TV is HD.... The local Fox affiliate is running 2 tests this Thursday (6:53 a.m. and 5:23 p.m.) to help viewers in determining if their TVs are ready. If you see regular programming with a crawler, you're fine; if you see only a message on the screen saying something, you're not fine. If plegm and other humours begin to ooze from you're TV, you have a poltergeist.

oh the FF's radio performance from Saturday is streamable here: http://airplay.wnur.org/performances/. I think it turned out pretty well despite me breaking two strings and ben breaking his snare during our set.

Yay! I'm so glad you can take the tv and dvd player, Amanda! Also, good job cleaning up and throwing out crap. PAT ON BACK TO YOU.

My boss left for a loooong meeting this morning. :-D

wow ben must have been amped

ha ha, actually just the snares came off the bottom of the drum, but we couldn't find a screwdriver for him to reattach them, so he tried just duct-taping the snares back on, which didn't exactly work

yeah, that is the worst thing when it happens.

It's important to learn from incidents like this one, so in the future Ben will be taking a backup drum set with us in the car to all our shows.

.. or a screwdriver.

or some coco pops to put inside the snare. (tip)

or put a tambourine on top of the snare in a pinch.

Tambourines are your answer to everything.

guilty

dangit, didn't get the job I was going for

sorry

yeah, well... I still have severance coming :D

I applied for another position too, and the manager who almost-but-didn't-quite hire me said she'd put in a good word.

rats

I THINK THEY GOT THE ALIAS
THAT YOU BEEN LIVIN UNDER

Vastly hilariouser and thus superior Laura Branigan song:

Whoa. I missed the lesbo implications in this video the first time around.

Huh. Laura Branigan is dead.

Probably from lesbo implications.

Wait. You have Flash on your computer now? !

Oh. "(2 hours ago)"

I guess you weren't at work at 7:22.

You really must find a way to get Flash installed on your work computer.

The best thing about that song is the guitar in the chorus wang-a-wanga-wang-wang.

jordan (and anyone else who cares): stella is performing in chicago on fri. dec. 5. sarah and i already got tickets.

oh interesting. where is it?

at rehearsal the other day we were reminiscing about michael ian black's last show here, where he had the crowd rolling for 10 minutes without saying a word. he was just using a hand to represent the motions of his anal sphincter after eating at a certain local taco place the year before.

that sounds pretty funny

it was

it's at the vic, right by the belmont brown/red line stop

how much were your tickets?

From a deposition I just read:

Attorney: Did you have sex with __________?
Female witness: I don't know. I'd have to ask him.

tickets are listed at $28 each but after charges they're more like $40, and that's for the ones where you print them out online
