Chicago: Become Familiar with its Distinctive Neighborhoods

Wellington has an el stop? That's funny, by my house it's just a little one way street that my favorite bar is on.

Also, I will be blurry, just like in that pic, because everyone will be buzzed.

speaking of bars, is anyone else going to be at the clipper tonight with me and gr80?

Not I.

Here is another pic of that dress that shows more of it, but my arm looks weird so BEWARE.

TBH, I don't really understand why Wellington has an el stop. Did someone think the four blocks between Diversey and Belmont were too much?

Nice clock!

I am glad you feel comfortable telling us that. ha ha

x Thanks!

I spent entirely too much money on that clock, but I lurve it.

very cute dress! it looks festive but not too festive.

That photo includes:
* vintage dress
* vintage clock
* vintage turn table
* vintage ipod dock...

I'm glad I can be frank with you guys about the CTA.

:-)

Thanks, Colette. I didn't want to embarrass Nick by showing up in something with sequins.

(not that I own anything with sequins)

I should be Clippin' right along tonight.

I want to go there again someday. I've only been once a looong looong time ago.

The night we met?

yay, it's very nearly the end of the day for me, and it's "friday" as well. i like my work schedule.

i think i'm going to wander around evanston till the movie starts, maybe i'll run into nick doing the same thing...

Ms. Partner and the Assoc. have gone to get a Christmas tree. I'm all by myself ;__;

And the Dude partner is at the Children's hospital w/ a pneumonia-ey son.

not a huge fan of the clipper but gr80 suggested it and since he's the guest...

I'M GONNA CELEBRATE BY TURNING THE MUSIC UP TO 4!!!!!WOOWOWOWOO

Yep, John.

C, He ended up going to see Margot at the Wedding, so maybe he'll be on his way out as you go in.

what's weird about your arm in that photo?

I was going to ask the same thing.

I guess that the top of it looks fat?

come on now

...

seriously

Ok! Ok! But if I weren't vegetarian, I might just take a bite out of my own upper arm. Oh, wait. I meant, if I were a self-deprecatory zombie...

Have you ever seen a movie where a zombie eats him/her-self?

I guess they don't generally go for the undead.

No but I've seen crazy.

Just now?

I feel like watching a zombie movie.

Have you ever seen a movie where a zombie eats him/her-self?

Not a zombie, no.

I'll ask Maddie if that's ever happened in a zombie movie.

I love seeing Maddie's flickr pix. She has such awesome goth get-ups. I hope that isn't a creepy thing to say (unlike saying I'd eat my own arm).

Sarah, if you ever find yourself in a version of Se7en, eating your own arm will we your ironic torture for the deadly sin of thinking you're a fattay.

She stopped by today to show me her fake hair. It looked pretty good.

Me out. Happy almost Friday! Don't have nightmares on my account!

I'm off to fatten up my arm.

mmm... marbled

i guess it would be weird if sarah's other arm was totally fat-free

Both of Sarah's arms are already fat free, I think is the point.

Gross:

i have not actually been to the california clipper. does it have the nfl network? i figure it probably doesn't.

oh for fuck's sake...

stingy, it might.

I actually don't remember TVs at the Clipper at all, though it's probably been at least a year since I've been there.

Looks like a lot of people are going to have a shitty Monday trying to get to work.

Yelp sez no:

my favorite thing about the clipper?.... there is NO TV!!!!! incredible! i find it really depressing when you go into a bar and it's a bunch of people straining their necks at a tv screen. also, as a former bartender also at a tv-less bar, the bartenders at the clipper know how to make good drinks....old timey drinks that require muddling and knowing the difference between bourbon and other whiskey. the staff are also friendly and kind and make strong drinks. me likey.

This dangling modifier is driving me crazy.
