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

Little did my parents know in the 1980s the ways that their religion would hold me back on a message board 30 years later :(

i'd autobot his decepticon

roadrunner? i hardly know 'er!

Are you in love with modern moonlight or aren't you?

underwater moonlight sets the body free

I was talking about this:

Can't speak for anyone else.

i thought you guys were talking about transformers

They were. I was not.

played roadrunner at my wedding, it was the best

Is Roadrunner a Transformer?

no dinobots no credibility

"Who is this? TRANSFORMERS"

This reads like a "I got her... GROCERY BAG" rap lyric.

Wow. I had to get on Google to figure out what you were talking about and that is a really weird and terrible lyric!

lol @ the "customers who viewed this item also viewed:"

The Chicago Humanities Festival schedule came out. The teme is "Tech Knowledge" and there are a couple of programs about libraries and Common is going to lecture about the history of hip hop. William Gibson is going to talk about his books and the future of science fictions. Also Eliyzabeth Yanne Strong-Anderson is going to talk about technology and its impact on reproduction.

Haha four pages in to the "customers who viewed this item also viewed" is that movie Sarah was talking about - Take Me Home Tonight. LOL. I'm buying her this book.

last night we had a condo meeting and i had to tell everyone that the com ed guy checked our meters, and so i said "i have an announcement" and this lady said, "are you pregnant?"
i was like "...no" and she said "oh haha yeah you're the only people in the this building without kids, so..." and then i replied "i just wanted to tell you that the com ed guy came"

:-/

Yeah, this year's CHF schedule looks more promising than usual!

CHF has a podcast now of talks from previous years--some good stuff there.

Jesus, what a rude neighbor.

laurie anderson is also speaking/performing/doing something as part of CHF, i believe

i guess it will be a "conversation": http://www.chicagohumanities.org/Genres/Arts-And-Architecture/2011f-Laurie-Anderson-O-Superwoman.aspx

I would go to that.

so is anyone interested in doing anything tomorrow? i know some of us have summer/furlough hours but i'm assuming lots of people will get out early for the holiday weekend too

I doubt I'll get out early b/c I have a real job.

Just kidding. I just got fired.

sorry jesse

i need people to recommend new music to me too. i feel like i've fallen behind on new things and i'm bored of what i have. i listened to "watch the throne" again this morning but it was a bad choice of music to listen to when you have a headache, so loud and busy. i downloaded the new album by the guy from the dutchess and the duke which i'm excited about but haven't heard yet.

been listening to these guys a bit, nothin' special indie pop but it's pretty good

I made this best-of-2011 list about six weeks ago:

Bibio, Mind Bokeh
Bon Iver, Bon Iver
Destroyer, Kaputt
Holy Ghost!, Holy Ghost!
Junior Boys, It's All True
Jessica Lea Mayfield, Tell Me
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Belong
Radiohead, The King of Limbs
Britney Spears, Femme Fatale
Toro y Moi, Underneath the Pine
tUnE-yArDs, w h o k i l l
Yuck, Yuck

I think the only album I've heard since that I would definitely add is Ford and Lopatin's Channel Pressure.

Hey jaymc, there's a Steely Dan tribute band playing tonight.

That could be fun. I was hoping your brother would be involved.

what's up

nm, u?

I saw a woman fall getting in the train and whack her head against the car and I held her hand until the paramedics came.

Wow, glad there are people like you out there!

i got a ticket last weekend for turning right on red at an intersection where i didn't see the "no right turn on red" signs, and they took my license again (still allowed to drive, they just hold your license until you pay the ticket) and so i'm carrying my passport around with me in case i need to buy alcohol or beer. it feels weird to be carrying my passport around.

jenny did you get an xbox? what games did you get? can i play them?

xp That's a sweet thing to say jvc, but she was a bloody mess and she fell like right there at my feet so it was mostly instinct. At first her head was kind of between the platform and the train and all I could think was that I was about to see someone get decapitated up close.

Nick yes! We have Halo: Reach and LA Noir and a sissy game called Undergarden that I think is like the leaf collecting game you have.

i'm not sure to which leaf collecting game you are referring

my plan for the weekend so far: go home, make a sandwich

Undergarden is like a platformer on Valium. I love it.

Hit post by accident - I don't know. Jeff referenced it. Some relaxo game you have or had.

oh Flower! yeah Flower is pretty zen, for a video game. you control the wind.

And yes you can come over and play video games!

ok.
