Chicago: home of the President of the United fucking States

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

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

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

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.

Hi folks. I want to go to the Long Room. I have confirmed that Jenny will be going. By reading her post.

Sometimes I get a pain beneath my loowest ribs, just to the right of center. I have checked and there are no organs there (just a howling vacuum), so what could it be? I suspect gas.

Gasoline.

we are going to see that french christmas movie, which looks awesome. but I would like t reiterate that the long room is a swell place. they have a wide variety of xmas/winter beers for the season too.

we are at violet hour right now but might be interested in long room later.

Today I feel like: uhhhhhhgggggggggggggarrrrrrgleleeeeeeeeeffffftttttttttbllllllleeeeee

i feel pretty good! i ate a huge piece of pumpkin pie when i got home and i think the fat soaked up all the booze

i had a lot of fun last night

How was the pizza?

we didn't get pizza, papa romeo's wasn't selling slices despite having a sign out front with a slice price and we didn't feel like ordering a whole pizza so we went our separate ways

Jenny and I drank a couple more beers. The female bartender was weird. She had a creepy smile.

Here is the video we talked about last night

1. Where was Dan flying to?

Columbus, Ohio

Hey I'm funemployed now so if anyone wants to hang let me know.

I am in the midst of a pitched internal battle between hunger and nausea.

^^^^ me, yesterday

When you're a doctor, will you be able to hook up your hungover friends to life saving hydration IVs?

I have a strong desire to go to Chili's Restaurant and LOLitorium.
