Chicago MMXII

sounds good n/a. very blackened. i never would have guessed it was you. some cool sound effects in there too.

thanks! it's crazy how well you can approximate screaming by whispering.

vorvolakas will be robbed in the EOY traxx poll

I keep thinking about signing up for Alan Salami's class.

hahaha

Performance art. Do it.

Jesus, this Chicago Mag story from 1989: The Boys of Rush Street.

A few special lines:

“Lotta tuna walking,” says Jack.

...

Sunglasses on a strap hide Jack’s blue eyes. The strap reads VAURNET FRANCE, which is more important than any protection the glasses may provide.

...

In a cab Dwarfboy says to the driver, “Can I have your shoe?” The driver turns way around to look at him.

“You wacky?” he asks. This cabby’s from Chicago

And then at the end the author/narrator refers to himself in the third person for no good reason Dwarfboy gets out in front of his coop near Wrigley Field and says to the other passenger in the cab “I got an extra bed downstairs."

I guess it's too late to corral anyone for pub quiz?

Anyway, the second and third rounds are on The A-Team (which I know zip about) and feminism.

Oh I forgot about pub quiz and now I got a pizza in the oven.

too late.

The Panera by my house is kind of weird - it's like an old folks social club in the evenings. There are 5 tables with at least one old person at each, a couple with 5-7 of them, and a couple guys going around working the room, chatting, regaling, mackin'.

And now one guy....I truly can't tell if he's laughing or sobbing into his phone.

that was like when i was commuting to evanston at 6 a.m. and i'd go in dunkin donuts to get a bagel or something and there'd be 8 old dudes in there drinking their small coffees

i can't wait until we're those guys

Nice. I managed to get through six of those without a single mistake.

does it ever do numbered-street stations?

Yeah, the second one I got was

63__.

I'm in Atlanta (on a plane)

Was looking for something and found this

Jenny, if I crawled inside of you and played fetus, would you abort me?

With relish.

I would abort you with relish. It is a new technique that they are using in Bolivia.

Is that recent?

His turn as a jr date rape wannabe/giant tool in his post-AD movies have made me pretty much indifferent to him as an actor.

I don't think I want to. Holding out for that being a look he cultivated for a 30-second tossed off joke in the Arrested Development movie.

people say he bears resemblance to Chicago Fire captain Logan Pause

Yes.

Things I noticed about that picture:
* his hands
* his foot placement/stance
* chambray shirt
* all the other things you probably noticed about that picture

Thinking specifically of Superbad and the comic book one where he dates a high schooler and then falls in love with a MPDG on roller skates. xp to self

huh, never heard the term MPDG before, that's apt

Guys, sorry for being obnoxious but I'm drinking an iced coffee outside. It is beautiful here.

Where? Are you still in Hotlanta?

I just got here!

I can't believe you said hotlanta.

This area where I'm staying is pretty boring though, all hotels and chain restaurants. If that makes you feel better.

I'll say it again: Hotlanta.

Friendship: off

Where are you staying, Nick?

Buckhead?

Yeah.

Are you near the train? You could go to Little Five Points and look at things.

Heed this MARTA man's advice:

Oh, look. That gif contains multitudes.

I'm not really going to have much free time. I'm just going to enjoy my free fancy hotel room and decent weather.

You know what's great? These things!

Not necessarily that brand, but egg rings in general, and especially the silicone ones.

I eat two eggs at a time. I think the system is failing us.

THEY COME IN TWO PACKS AT OUR LOCAL TJ MAXX!

If I can summon the energy to put on pants, I'm going to go run some errands buy two more while I'm out.

You can't cook an egg w/out a ring? What's the matter with you?

Phatlanta

I forget to whom I made the fairly shameful confession that I'm probably going to wind up buying this product

I can cook an egg without a ring! But it's so much better in a ring, especially since most of my eggs go on English muffins.

We eat a lot of eggs. Eggs are the life fruit.
