Chicago: home of the President of the United fucking States

I have no news of my own to report, so I give you that.

today is the 10 year anniversary of the (somewhat arbitrarily chosen) date when sarah and i started going out

Wow, congrats.

And why does everything have to be pink?

Because of nipples.

I have all this stuff to do today, but all I want to do is go play outside. Sunshine is a splendorous thing.

the translation of the savage detectives was a big deal when it came out a year or so ago - it's very good

this is an amazing book - probably the best book ive read in a couple years
really excited to read 2666

now i'm thinking that maybe i should read 2666 next while my reading endurance is up, it's like marathon training.

should i wear a cardigan to our show tonight y/n?

it's not very rockin but we're playing with dorky pop bands anyways so maybe i should just wear a cardigan and corduroys and go with it

post-dork

cardidork

put clothes on until you are not cold anymore

go naked

cuz thats the only way you'll be able to steal my audience X^D

we're playing first so i'm sure everyone will come see us then depart en masse for your dj set

i'm SURE

Happy randomly selected ten-year anniversary date! Also: when in doubt, always wear a cardigan. Also: Jordan do you like Infinite Jest?

i just went to ladie's day at the car wash
i am a ladie

yes, i love it a+. have you read it, jenny?

Aye, a few times. It's one of my favorite books evar. I'm glad you like it!

Anathem is on my short list as soon as I pay my library fines and get the restrictions off my card so I can reserve books at my local branch (NICK COME ON go work for CPL so you can hook me up). I think I will check out this Robert Bolano person, too, since I like long ass books. Water for Elephants is next, though.

i'm going to lend it to a girl who doesn't generally read long books, but does have a lot of experience with school athletics and weed addiction.

water for elephants was entertaining, i read it on the plane back from north carolina. it was a good plane book.

RobertO Bolano, I mean.

Heh, don't be surprised if she doesn't read it. I have loaned that book to or purchased that book for about ten people in my lifetime and I don't think any of them have actually read the damn thing.

Jesse sent this to me, so surely it is posted somewhere on ILX, but since we watched a video of her at Jesse's halloween party - OMG guys did you read this? victoriajackson.com

She is fucking priceless. That website is the gift that keeps on giving.

Yeah, that's what I've heard about Water for Elephants, too. I'm definitely in the mood for an entertaining book.

i just learned what monorchid means

Here is what I have learned from Victoria Jackson:

Americans need to be educated about government, politics, and eschatology

Fox News is the only news show that even resembles journalism

If our country needed a black president, I would suggest . . . Alan Keyes

Our country became the greatest nation on earth because of it's reverence to God, and it's capitalism that was set up by our forefathers

Archaeology confirms the fact that the Bible is true

the evening winning lottery number for the Illinois State Lottery on Nov. 5 was the number "666".

she actually asked to borrow it, after flipping through a couple parts (early on, like hal waiting for his dealer) and going "omg, that is how i think."

what does monorchid mean?

A dog with one nut.

xp - oh, i just forced the book on people I knew. I suppose that is the crucial difference.

By "nut" I mean "testicle."

I would really like to give Infinite Jest another go. I need to be in the right mood for it, though.

OMG YOU CAN BORROW MY COPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111

the right mood for about two months

I didn't like Water for Elephants. I was hoping it'd be an entertaining, quick read...but instead I found it kind of a bland, quick read. Definitely, there were some parts that were interesting, but for the most part....thbbbbbbbbtttt.

(it's been a long day of tedious tasks)

OMG YOU CAN BORROW MY COPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111

Do you want to bring it this weekend? I can't promise I'll get it back to you before the end of the year, though.

The next time I encounter a big fan of that band The Monorchid I am going to laaaugh and laaaugh.

i know! i always liked that word, thought it had something to do with special flowers
now i know it has to do with ballz

well, ball.

I thought it meant a single rchid.

i am a big fan of the monorchid

did not mean to post that here, but i'll let it ride

ride ride ride
(let it ride)

we watched that documentary about summer camp last night and there was this kid in it who played air guitar with a broom to "smoke on the water"
he was about...9? this is not related to anything, but it was funny

reminded me of freedom rock

i am a big fan of the monorchid

HAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAA uniball

(I like them too)

The one time I went to summer camp (one week when I was 12 and I HAD MY PERIOD WTF) the counselors actually put on an air band concert and I recall 1) many of the campers screamed as if these ding dongs were the Beatles; and 2) I developed a shameful crush on one of the counselors directly as a result of his air band performance.

The plot has thickened, guys...

That job that I applied for and didn't get (was actually runner-up for)? ... *Another* person in that group just quit, they do the same job, so it looks like there will be another opening! OMGLOLBBQ2K8

I can't remember what song they air banded to, but if I had to lay odds, I would guess it was either by Journey or Lover Boy.

YAY Dan!

John, I will try to remember to bring the book.
