Chicago: Become Familiar with its Distinctive Neighborhoods

Joygoat that makes since. Brown die looks purple when you first add it to water, so maybe purple die looks green after you eat it and poop it out.

There are a lot of diner places downtown, but I don't know how many of them are all that remarkable. A lot of people like Lou Mitchells, which is on Jackson and Clinton (south west loop).

die?

YES DIE!

Dye, dye my darling.

Courtney update:

She is drunk.

I NEED ANOTHER COURTNEY UPDATE, PLEASE. IT'S BEEN SEVEN MINUTES ALREADY.

I actually got drunk at the Hopleaf a year ago after eating Korean food down the street. For some reason (perhaps being drunk) I missed the fact that they had food.

I am very excited about this.

Courtney update:

She is still in NC. No luggage, but a snoot-ful of hooch.

And a snatch-ful of snoot.

Shit, I meant snout.

At Jin Ju? I love that place. Yum.

I am making 7 layer dip.

exceed expectations, dan, make it 8!

i am in a day's inn in berea, kentucky. hi!

beans
avocado/lime juice
crema + taco seasoning
diced canned jalapenos
diced tomato
diced black olives
cheese
cilantro

8!

OK, I am now impressed by this ING Bank/Cafe at Wabash and Chestnut, with free internet and free NY Times and magazines for the cost of a cup of coffee. These folks do the library better than the library, other than the books part.

Is anyone doing anything that could include a lonely Christmas orphan like me?

I fell asleep on the train last night and it was awful. Then it got worse when I switched trains and some guy was loudly hacking up sputum and spitting it on the floor the whole ride.

Anyone besides Jennifer at work today?

yep.

So get on here folks. Let's make this the merriest ILXmas Eve ever.

Hi. I have the hangover.

i do have the hangover but i hope to tomorrow.

because if i wake up with a hangover tomorrow i can roll back over and sleep it the fuck off. that's such an awesome fucking feeling.

i have neither work nor hangover, but we're back in chicago which is nice!

And yet despite (because of?) this, I have chose to have sushi for lunch.

And now my mouth is on spicy tuna roll fire. That's what's up in the Thompson Center today!

i need to stop by ye olde liquor shoppe and pick up a bottle of wine for tonight then i'm going to go home and go to back to sleep. i really didn't want to come in today but because there was nobody on the roads or the el the buses and trains were on time and i made it to the loop in about 20 minutes. i was at my desk in just under an hour which is crazy.

I decided as a Christmas treat on a cold day to switch to the El instead of taking the Red Line all the way to work so I could alight the train in the very building where I work, only to run into signal problems and spend 45 minutes getting from Chicago and Franklin to Merch. Mart. NOT HAPPY GIRL.

jenny, that first one was almost in sync with the song i was listening to ("charlotte" by chocolat), cymbal crashes were corresponding with snowballs/breaking windows.

Jesse makes a cameo in that one.

Oh god I just died a little. Whew.

Jeff is home and using his day off wisely.

Oh man that's awesome!!

that was disturbing.

hey, if dan happens to happen across this: ALL LETTERS AND ARTICLES ARE DONE, ALL FIGURES ARE CONVERTED, I'M GOING HOME.

merry jingle kids.

Dammit, I misplaced my rubber finger and now my productivity has just gone into the toilet.

I never thought that a rubber finger would be so important to my legal career.

I have stopped using those and just use that finger moisturizer.

This stuff.

We have like 5 boxes of rubber fingertips at H&O'C, but they're small, so they don't fit me.

I prefer Sort Kwik, but this is a rubber finger shop.

Merry merry, mes amis.

this is officially my favorite holiday video...
