Chicago: They paved a fetid swamp/and put up a parking lot

Nothing specific I know about. You're just a few miles north of my parents, btw.

Unhelpful to Shakey but in keeping with precious the conversation - they are putting a Target in the Carson Pirie Scott building. That's pretty sweet.

There is a free smooth jazz concert in O'Hallaren Park. Or you could just go to a bar.

Some events for today.

Sorry, Shakey, I don't know of anything.

Is there going to be a ShakeymoFAP sometime?

Jenny, that is good news. The Loop needs a grocery store.

This is hard to figure out. It's Chicago.

Here it is with the John R. Thumbstump Burger and Dress Barn at the center.

Click this. Do it. Then click "GO" in the upper right. It does kooky stuff!

The fun stops when the whole world disappears, though.

But that only happens when I just close my eyes, father of mine.

What should replace the Dress Barn in our fantasy JRTC makeover? Maybe a Pay/Half.

No. A Twisted Kilt.

Bead store

an If It's Paper! or If It's Baskets!

WE SELL BOXES

I'm shaking my fist at "If It's Baskets!"

An FBI Stop Raping My Wife sign factory outlet.

lol boxes, I just introduced a coworker (who's moving to Ohio next month & working hard to scrounge up boxes around the office) to the delights of that video

I love that video.

Is there going to be a ShakeymoFAP sometime?

I dunno my plans seem to be changing quickly buuuut at the moment it seems like any FAP would have to be either tonight or tomorrow night...? Now I'm going to Lollapalooza on Saturday instead of Friday.

I don't really care where, someone else would have to suggest a place

There's a bead store on Irving Park called Let's Get Stranded.

Let's FAP there.

i'll bead there at 9!

experience is sure to be unbeadable

I've Just Been to a Marvelous Party!

I'm out west and hoping to FAP with the L.A. ILXors at some point, so nothing tonight for me.

No fap 2nite or 2morrow 4 me.

I've got to go check Courpseney's pulse bc her s1573r i5 worried.

Interesting.

Jeff, have you ever tried those things that look like car shocks that you strap to your feet that make your stride super-humanly long?

John - you saw Courtney on Wednesday morning? She and I were talking about it, and it would have been around 10 a.m., when you would have been at work.

What would've been around 10 AM? When she was walking down the street? I was at the gym from like 7:45-8:30 AM, and I thought I saw her around 8. Since I only saw her briefly when I looked up, it made me wonder whether she had been in the 7-8 AM class and was on her way home.

YENNY

have you been following the warren jeffs case?

No! Is there news? Or a link to the events to date?

GUILTY

GOOD!

The staring at the jury thing is interesting. It's like, in his tiny world filled with people in his thrall, he probably could stare at them for 24 minutes and get them to do what he wanted. But since nobody outside of his FLDS sect is scared of him, he just looks like a crazy person.

Weird. You saw her on Wednesday morning? She was walking home yesterday - Thursday - morning at that time b/c she started to commute to work then changed her mind, but she was in bed at that time on Wednesday morning.

We'll get to the bottom of her whereabouts, I'm sure of it.

Update on the development of Diversey Pkwy: The other half of what used to be Barnes & Noble, next door to State Farm's Next Door, is going to be an Express. I hope I'm wrong, but there was a sign on the construction entrance that said EXPRESS in typeface that seemed like that of the clothing store. Men's Express clothes suck - their style is Jersey Shore lite.

Maybe C. has a doppelganger.

I actually like the fit of Express' dress pants, but thats the only thing I've ever found there worth buying.

Je55e and I are both nostalgic for the days when they were Structure and had good stuff.

I am too, actually. I liked Structure a lot.

I hope that works bc it is great.

I'm nostalgic for when Express was The Limited and we wore their v-neck shaker knit sweaters backwards over white t-shirts.

Also Outback Red and the layered prairie skirt with lace up boots look.

Huh, I had no idea that Structure turned into Express. I guess that explains why a) I never see Structure anymore and b) Express now carries men's stuff. (I wondered whether they always had and I just never noticed or what.)

I still have a shirt that I think is from Structure, which I bought when I was 17 or so.

have to share this with you guys...i told a friend a month or so go that i could cat-sit for her, just let me know. another friend of hers had also said she was available, so i figured we would split up the days.

yesterday she emails me, and she wants me to do the mornings (fri - mon) and the other woman to do nights. but this is the good part - apparently the cat has a sensitive stomach after not eating all night, so i'm supposed to feed the cat five pieces of cat food, wait 10 minutes, feed the cat another five pieces, then wait 30 minutes (!), and then give the cat half a cup of food. this is all theoretically happening before i go to work, and after i've already agreed to cat-sit for another friend too.

sorry cat, but you are fucking getting a bowl of food.

That's nuts.

Also please pre-chew the cat food for the cat, sensitive teeth as well. Masticate nineteen times, pause for forty-five seconds, then masticate eleven more times. Each piece of cat food must be pre-chewed individually.

She better have HBO at her place.

I'm taking care of the most ugly/beautiful French bulldog this week--I'll post a photo.

Structure in its last year or two went full-on young-brah and then changed over to Express. I still have and wear a great Italian-style suit I bought from them back in the mid-90s.

Why can't you just split up whole days?

she wants me to do the mornings (fri - mon) and the other woman to do nights. Haha, you and that other woman.
In grade school I was friends with a lot of girls and I would say "me and this other girl," and my brother would give me shit about the implication that I was also a girl.
