Chicago: Totally hands-free!!!

This day has been very weird. It's one in the morning, and I just cooked up some lobster ravioli.

LOBSTER?! You're a monster!

(ps, um... yum.)

I'm guessing those are on Flickr somewhere

yes! But I'm tired of dealing with third parties. Here I am.

That was the last time I saw that thing. I think I accidentally left it as a tip. :(

this sitehas info on how to donate to a charity that will refurbish and also how to recycle computers in chicago...

More than the computer, I think the CRT monitor is the bigger landfill pollutant. Someone somewhere can make use of computer parts, but an old-ass monitor is going to require more attention to dispose of properly. If it still works, I'd say put it on Craigslist for $5 or something, or Freecycle.

The people on freecycle make me rage.

At least the one's I've dealt with. They have made shit so complicated. YOU ARE GETTING FREE STUFF, STOP BEING A COLOSSAL PAIN IN THE ASS.

Kenan, that pic of me at Intonation is AWFUL. It really reflects how I felt there--tired, hot, drunk, and just plain worn out.

but that pic of me with the cock ring is nice. I look MUCH better than I felt that morning. And I look like I'm wearing lip gloss.

Apparently, Staples recycles computers.

Kenan, that pic of me at Intonation is AWFUL.

It's gone.

Yay, I just got boxes from Julia!

:)

I heard. She has a ton. Or used to.

I'm taking some time off of ILX to get some things done -- drop a line if there's a TTday, etc. See you soon!

Aw, Kenan, thanks, but you didn't have to get rid of that photo. Marking it private would have been OK. But thank you!

i think that fucking commercial finally broke my brain.

Que?

I'm finally watching the cornholing video. Nice work, but I have to go to work now.

I have a job interview this afternoon, i'm so confident that right now i'm filling out an online application for another job. my favorite question so far:

Are you willing to work with others?
Yes
No

willing, yes. looking forward to, no.

"if I hafta"

that question made me realize my ideal job is probably toll booth attendant.

You've done your share of troublemaking
Strongly disagree
Disagree
Agree
Strongly agree

It is hard to really care about work when the job is boring
Strongly disagree
Disagree
Agree
Strongly agree

Those questions would be fine if they were on a job counselor's questionnaire, but on a job application they're pretty loaded.

I hate shit like that, because if you tell the truth it makes you look bad but if you lie it's really obvious that you're lying. When I worked for that company in Richmond that did testing for potential employees, they used questions like that to find out how honest people were being in the testing.

it just got worse from there, i'm actually hoping i don't get this job and i'm beyond broke at this point.

You don't work too hard because it doesn't pay off anyway
Strongly disagree

Agree
Strongly agree

^^my fave^^

the correct answer would have been i don't work too hard because i'm likely hung the hell over.

ugh. Good morning. I want to eat everything in the world for breakfast today.

jesse, what did you try to post on my myspace? It says image does not exist.

Oh who knows. What time was it?

meh. Skip it. You should be on facebook instead, anyway.

OK LISTEN UP CHICAGO

Jenny and I are going to go see a midnight showing of Hedwig and the Angry Inch on either Friday or Saturday night at the Music Box. Come with us.

I'll let you know which night in a bit.

Leslie: This is the subject line of a spam email I got: "My new guy's prick is enormous, and my mouth is tiny."

thanks for the heads-up, kev

i'm not current with my IL license, but I'm nationally registered and current in MT. I've been looking into how to make it happen here in Chicago

Nick, were you trying to post a pic up there? I just see a blank post.

Today is easy.

Hey, you know what's really good? C0zy C0rner. Thanks, Dan.

Yeah, I was making a joke similar to Kenan's, but mine was funnier, because it was Hello Kitty, who has no mouth at all.

my weekend: watch the Office, drink, gig, fried chicken, rehearse, gig, ribs, drink, sleep, brunch, record, fried chicken, watch the Office, sleep

I have been thinking about guitars and recording a lot this weekend. Probably too much.

recording is awesome

how does hello kitty eat?

complicated osmotic processes
