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

that's true too, but the arrangement of his features is very similar to d's

Indeed!

I should stop making jokes today. There was this one earlier.

The question is which one

Awesome coordination between the design of the pdx & bmore flyers. Same design, but each uses art of the exact bridge targeted.

That banker dude does look a lot like D, regardless of how much BJ does.

(and it's funny to think of him somehow filling in at a desk like that one day and then getting surrounded by occupiers and no no it's all a mistake)

That's pretty hilarious.

i don't see it, but w/e!

I don't see it either, but I also don't see the BJ Novak resemblance!

You'll have to trust me on that -- he would be horrified if I posted a side-by-side.

BJ is cute! I wouldn't be horrified. I can see some similarities. D is cute too. So are you.

Guys, it's 35º outside.

Alt+0186

Guys, it's November.

the middle of november, at that!

he would just be horrified that we are talking about him, not at the comparison (which we have already discussed at length!)

AFAIK, last night was our first sub-freezing night.

Looks like the new apartment won't be like a sauna all winter, like the others in Chicago I've lived in. In fact, the "balcony" door provides a refreshing chilly breeze. Not really being sarcastic - the draft makes it perfect sleeping temp inside.

My left chest and shoulder have been hurting for the past half hour or so. I wonder if it's a myocardial infarction.

There's a new pizza delivery place on Halsted and Monroe whose slogan is "WE COME FAST...NO APOLOGIES!"

What I want to know is where.

When I was a kid there was a little place on Crystal Beach (North of Galveston-ish) that had a big hand-painted sign that said "PIZZA IN YOUR FACE!" Crystal Beach was known as a big gay hookup spot. Coincidence? Maybe.

I believe the answer is Greektown.

{insert tzatziki joke here}

i am actually going out for lunch today. if anyone wants to join me at about 1:30 for lunch somewhere, that would be cool. otherwise, i'm reading a fun/trashy book so i'll have that to look forward too.

What are you reading?

My the library hold for my fun, trashy books expires today so I'm spending my lunch hour collecting those and getting some borscht to go.

the oral history of MTV ("I Want My MTV"). it's pretty good but not as good as the oral history of grunge i read a couple of weeks ago ("Everybody Loves Our Town"). i like oral histories. the best parts of the MTV book are people's stories about prince being weird. i LOLed at one on the train yesterday.

i don't know where to go to lunch :(

what part of the loop are you in?

sw corner, near the board of trade. thinkin maybe falafel?

La Cocina?

the best parts of the MTV book are people's stories about prince being weird.

oh please share. i'm doing the big prince tribute gig tonight.

fuck, all I can think of is Cal's and they don't have food

there was one about prince being 2 hours late for a meeting, showing up in a crazy outfit with a blue stiletto on his left foot and a yellow stiletto on his right foot. after a few minutes, he says "oh i have to go do something," is gone for 45 minutes, and when he comes back he has a yellow stiletto on his left foot and a blue stiletto on his right foot.

the other one i remember is about prince wanting to shoot the "lovesexy" video in a bedroom with a neon sign that says "LOVESEXY" on the wall. director, who is meeting prince at his house, says ok well we can build a set in a warehouse, have the neon sign built, etc. prince says "we could do it here." so the director says, ok we can film it at your house, i'll just have the neon sign built and shipped over. prince says "no, we can do it here." director realizes prince means he already has a neon sign that says "LOVESEXY" on his bedroom wall.

i've got an hour for lunch so i can walk to most places in the loop

sw corner, near the board of trade. thinkin maybe falafel?

Is there a Roti near you? It's like Chipotle for falafel.

yeah i think so. there's also i dream of falafel, which i am intrigued by because of its stupid name.

Roti is pretty good. Isn't it named for the kind of food that they serve?

roti

so it sounds like ROTI over I DREAM OF FALAFEL.

thanks guys, i'm crowdsourcing all of my life decisions going forward

I have a new laptop.

that's fun.

there used to be a second outpost of oasis near van buren and wells, but i guess that closed, which surely helps you a lot.

Oh, too bad about Oasis. I liked that place.

Roti is really good. I there's a "Freshii" convenient to you, that's pretty good, too (I swear overnight the Loop was suddenly filthy with Rotis and Freshiis).

what, did they turn the Cosis into Rotis?

Nope. Still plenty of Cosis and Corner Bakeries. It is like some dimensional space folding that allows for the construction of endless quick lunch chains.

Cosi and Roti and Freshii

You got the hooch, baby
You got the Freshii Freshii
You got the Cosiest Roti in the world

roti is pretty good but it's funny how exactly like chipotle it is ... is it owned by the same company?

I don't think so but it is totally the same set up.

Cosi Cosi
Roti Roti
Freshii Freshii
Jaffa

Today would be a good day for a work Slanket.

xp Ha is that a Kreayshawn parody?

Yes!!!
