Chicago: home of the President of the United fucking States

it seems like the prof is against this system too, though she seems to be saying the CPL system might be easier for library staff to reshelve books because they only have to look at the last name and then the title instead of having to think about the first name too, which sometimes you have to look inside to find if the book has been rebound?

goddammit i cannot focus on this paper i'm supposed to be working on

I just ate a free sample of some sort of Pro-biotic "Wellness" Cereal as a snack and now I kind of want to vomit. Pro-biotic Pukeness Cereal is more like it.

why wouldn't it be normal for librarians to have jargon?

I don't know? It is normal? I was half making a joke/half being irked at my inability to comprehend the answer to my burning question, which seems to be: because it's easier to shelve. (Thanks, Nick. And thanks for the cutter number explanation.)

The Hold Steady have a few cutter numbers.

someone should make something fun happen this weekend.

Hi guys. I'm in an airport bar in Cowlumbus, Ohio.

sarah's fam is leaving on friday so we should be available to hang on fri eve or later in the weekend

Happy Tofurkey Day.

1. Where was Dan flying to?
2. I'm full of lasagna and crazy smoky, creamy whisky/scotch cocktail that Jenny nicked from the Violent Hour.
3. I would do something this weekend.

we have an entire pumpkin pie in our fridge and we need people to help us eat it

I just bought a Lodge enameled dutch oven with my birthday money and I'm really excited because I got it from Amazon for $48 plus free shipping, all because I was willing to purchase the pan an ugly brown color. I am going to make all these soups and stews and that bread-in-a-dutch-oven, as soon as I get a replacement knob that can take 500 degree heat.

I want this book for Christmas. The Chip Kidd artwork featuring Hubble space telescope images is enough to sell me by itself.

i've got one too. i think i'm going to unload it on students tomorrow.

is it friday night? it feels like sunday.

It does! But it's not! My day has involved lounging, grocery shopping, and now cooking:

Yooper style pickled eggs
sauteeing things for use later: onions, garlic, celery
blanching vegs.

Sadly, I think I might be getting a cold.

It's Friday! I have to get up early and escort tomorrow but if people are contemplating fun things tomorrow night, people should email or call me.

I broke our vacuum cleaner today. I was a little broken and in trying to fix it, I broke it a lot. Sigh.

I'm cooking, too - baked brown rice and mushrooms with tofu. How do I shot Yooper style pickled eggs? Also - please make your own grow a pair/huevos joke here kthx.

LOL @ truth in typos

Just eat it. It's pie. Seriously, now.

I boiled ONE DOZEN eggs (not as Chris Kimball sp? would have me do it). While they were boiling I heated some water with dried peppers, ground mustard, salt, and pepper corns. And water. Also, I blanched cauliflower and carrots. Then I dumped the peeled eggs and all the rest into a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar. I bought some jalapenos for use in the recipe but I ate them all (some time ago).

Other mistakes I have made today include: Plucking my left eyebrow noticeably more than my right. Dying my hair dark brown (maybe not a mistake, it remains to be seem. It's semi-permanent at least). Re-injuring my finger (I cut myself while chopping basil yesterday (just a little bit)) by cutting it deeper and more while fixing but really breaking the vacuum.

xp I AM TELLING CHRISTOPHER KIMBALL and he's going to come to your house and make you kneel on grains of rice.

xposts Pumpkin pie is one of my favorite things for breakfast (this time of year). So is cheesecake. They are both desserts that are more about the fat than the sugar (I'm no good with sugar), and since it's breakfast, the fat is used appropriately throughout the morning. I feel good about myself when I have pie or cheesecake for breakfast.

i would hang with eat all of this pumkin pies

UH

I really like pumpkin pie for breakfast, too! OMG SISTERS

Chris Kimball can suck my overcooked huevos. I like them well done.

guys do you know what i had for lunch today?

A: turkey and stuffing POPOVERS

How does that work, then?

I would be interested in a turkey and stuffing popover.

Some pie-for-popovers barter should be set up.

I have no pie. Just some leftover lasagna.

oh wow that's a lot like pie. In goodness.

Well I am eating veg. potstickers w/ semi-homemade gyoza sauce.

Kr and I went to see Slumdog Millionaire, then sneaked into Milk. I don't think I've done that since The Shadow/Forrest Gump in 1994.

ha! I have done it so often that it's nearly a habit. It's a good way to kill 4-5 hours, for sure. I try to plan which movie I want to give my dollar to and which movie I think will be ok without me, so like I try to pay for the documentary and sneak into the indie movie that already has a lot of buzz.

Yeah, ok, it's immoral. It's like downloading music, I guess. No real excuse for it. And yet... it's so easy to do.

What's great about sneaking from one movie to another is that no theater employee is looking for it, because a) they're 17 and this is a shit job and they don't much care to do it well at all, much less go the extra mile to police movie sneaks, and b) hardly anyone does it, anyway. Not because people are honest, but because the percentage of the population that really devoutly WANTS to sit in the dark watching movies for 4+ hours is super small. People have shit to do, and even if they don't, they tend to imagine that they do. Two movies is a ridiculous stupid insane RETARDED investment of time for people who start to get impatient when their computer boots a little more slowly than it did last time.

I often think about sneaking into a 2nd movie, but rarely do b/c of the time involved, especially since I usually go with another person.

I don't feel too bad about it when I do it since it's not like I was going to see the other movie in the theatre anyway.

OK, anything gonna happen tonight?

If so, I will probably want to join in on it.

aw, you guys are making me wish I wasn't so hungry and tired already. Because I think I need to just grab something protein-heavy to eat and then go to sleep. Or stay awake until it's a reasonable time to go to sleep. Maybe I'll have protein and a coffee of some kind.

i would be up for something mellow like chilling at someone's apt or maybe going to a bar that isn't too far away. i'm kinda tired but would like to socialize

I feel the same way. I don't know what Jeff is up for, but I will investigate and get back to youse.

coolio ... maybe we could try the long room at ashland and irving park? i've heard good things. just an idea though.

I'm up in Rog Park this eve.

My two sneak-around movies of this decade have been an afternoon of United 93 andMission Impossible 3, and Rivers and Tides and Irreversible.

One jackpot day as a kid was 9 to 5 and Cannonball Run.

I would like to go to this long room. Email/text/call me with a time.

8:00 PM

I will probably be there a little later than that, like 8:30. Word.
