one that doesn't involve pouring beer and/or gin down my gullett.

The difference is that I do not love the combover.

Kevin: Whittling. Will keep your hands busy.

― Laurel, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:29 (nineteen years ago)

I could show you how to crochet. It's very soothing.

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:29 (nineteen years ago)

I need more toys in my home to keep my hands busy. Like, a Rubik's Cube and such.

Topless Latchhook (nsfw)

Kevin, I didn't even know you played guitar, so that's something.

This thread is killing me http://www.ilxor.com:8080/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=60&threadid=5847#unread

There's a guy I work with who has a really sad combover. It sort of epitomizes everything that I find depressing about him: he's been working for the company for 25 years and only got promoted to supervisor (i.e., a non-hourly position) like two years ago. He also talks very slowly and deliberately.

Knitting/crochet is brilliant for giving you something to do with your hands, plus hats for everybody!

I'm going to learn how to knit one of these days soon. I'm kind of excited about it.

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:33 (nineteen years ago)

i just remembered what i wanted to investigate and i just looked into it but it's not really a hobby.

xpost- knitting would either be really awesome or i'd drive myself absolutely insane.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:33 (nineteen years ago)

omg giant isopods now have a permanent place in my nightmares.

xp to Kevin - yeah, there's an element of obsession to it at times that is both scary and comforting. Like, "Wow, I sure am kind of obsessive almost to the point of mania about this, but it's yarn! Yarn is benign and wonderful!"

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:35 (nineteen years ago)

ooh! The bunny!

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:36 (nineteen years ago)

jenny it's more along the lines that if it isn't something i totally love i'll wind up getting really frustrated. but then i still have this compulsion to finish something when i start it so i wind up just compounding my frustrations.

god i wish the weekend were here. NEED DRINKS ASAP.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:38 (nineteen years ago)

Your new hobby has arrived:

Best idea ever!

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:44 (nineteen years ago)

GET A DOG AND KNIT A SWEATER FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:44 (nineteen years ago)

Building mailboxes for dogs!

― La Lechera, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

OMG THAT DOG

― dan m, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

check out that little mailbox man's cheeks. they're plump.

― La Lechera, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

Breed dogs for mailboxes!

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

i have been resisting getting a dog because with each passing weekend it's more obvious that i can barely take care of myself. i was supposed to go out to san diego july 3-8 to see my dog and whats her name but now that is up in the air and i'm all ;_; because i was really getting excited to see my little man.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

I think having a young man to take care of will help you substantially in taking care of yourself. You will have no choice because you would never ever let that tiny man down.

Dog has seen better days.

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:47 (nineteen years ago)

i did look after my upstairs neighbor's dog and his sister (the dog of a mutual friend of ours) last sunday, it was fun having them out in the back yard playing fetch and crap like that.

xpost- can't take that chance. ;_;

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:47 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know about that Amanda, that's one step away from having children because yr lonely/bored.

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:47 (nineteen years ago)

This is why I have cats. Cats are not hobbies, though. They are... objects.

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:48 (nineteen years ago)

Cats are bros.

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

But I think Kevin would be a good dog dad. Also, the weather is about to be wonderful tous les temps, so you can take him with you to sit out on bar patios and back decks and parks...

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

I'd get one but it's a big no-no for our apartment and Jonesy would be PISSED. Before too awful long I will have one, though. Either a beagle or a little mutt dog, I don't really care about breeds as long as the thing's hair is short.

― dan m, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

xp - Eh, not necessarily. There are lots of loving animals out there who need homes. If it helps you and it helps the animal, no one gets hurt and everyone is cared for the end. I mean, it worked for me. 9 years later, I'm taking better care of myself and I have an old cocker spaniel who knew me when.

ps i am allergic to cats and i met my dog at a party, where someone asked, "do you want him?" and i impulsively said YES.

― La Lechera, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:50 (nineteen years ago)

also, i don't want to be a single father. i know it works for some people but not for me.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:51 (nineteen years ago)

Re: cats, I can get home on a Friday and be like "What is up, dog. I'm splitting for the weekend, y'all take care of the place for me, alright? Thx."

Kevin, if you got a wee dogster you could take him to the dog beach and we could all play with him!

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, I don't want to have to take an animal out to poop and have no one to shuffle that duty onto every now and again.

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

i couldn't take him to the beach, dogs aren't allowed on the el or bus ;_;

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

You call your cat 'dog?'

xpost - you could walk or bike there. You need a doggie bike basket.

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:53 (nineteen years ago)

Haha, I got Sample the Cat via an impulsive response to a "free cat" email at my old job and now we're BFFs 4lyf.

xp - if he's a wee man, you can put him in a tote bag and nobody will ever know!

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:53 (nineteen years ago)

I can see what you mean. But someday you may meet a canine man who needs your love and it's always good to have an open mind about it...

I kept Junie illegally in my apartment for 6 months until I could move out. No one even knew he was there, or at least they never said anything.

ps re: beaches that is why my dudes and i live within 2 blocks of the beach!

― La Lechera, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

Obviously what is happening here is that I want a wee dog to carry to the dog beach in a tote bag.

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

i think what i need immediately is a book. i need something else to look forward to instead of going out and socializing.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

Who wants to go live with Kevin?

I do! I do!

I agree that going out of town when you have a dog is a major PITA.

OMGOMGOMGOMG dog armpits are the cutest things since their chins.

― La Lechera, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:55 (nineteen years ago)

You call your cat 'dog?'

Hell yes, I do.

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:55 (nineteen years ago)

!!! woo little dude!

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:55 (nineteen years ago)

The obvious solution to the beach transpo problem is to get a dog with his own car.

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:56 (nineteen years ago)

GISing "small dog" is the most fulfilling thing I've done all day.

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:56 (nineteen years ago)

Wow, Kevin, I think Own Dog could be the best thing you do all year?

― Laurel, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:58 (nineteen years ago)

Or it was until this:

AHHHH that dog has hair on his fur!

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

Reason #1 to be single dog father: it may attract potential dog mothers.

― La Lechera, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

OTM
