I'm starting to think the prophesied 4 story Billabong store in the old Carsons building is not gonna come to be.

Isn't that where the Target goes? Where will we buy surf wear?
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Thursday, 26 April 2012 01:17 (twelve years ago) link
Yes, that's where Target is going. Unless that was a lie, too.
The Walgreens near DePaul (SW corner of State and Jackson) is gone and it has been replaced by the law school's student center hang-out thing.

I am eating red lentil soup (which is actually yellow) and hummus from my favorite Hyde Park lunch spot. It makes me very happy.

I went to Pierogi Heaven for lunch.

While there, I spent way too much time eavesdropping on a lawyer talking to his client about a real estate sale because his voice sounded exactly like the voice of an actor who often plays professors in film and television and who I can see and hear but not name or place, and because he looked like the lawyer version of the Big Lebowski (schlubby but affable and cute in his own way).
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Thursday, 26 April 2012 18:26 (twelve years ago) link
And his client was this little old lady who was so convinced she was going to get ripped off that she ignored everything he said unless it supported her suspicion that she was going to get ripped off.

― Pita Malört (Je55e), Thursday, 26 April 2012 18:30 (twelve years ago) link
I wish one of you mofos were there with me to tell me who this guy sounded like. The actor is maybe in his late 40s, brown hair, has a mole on his face, and I feel like he tends to play characters that end up being bad or morally ambiguous.

Jesse, is Pita Malort your new drag name? What happened to Okra Latte?
I almost forgot about Okra Latte. How did that name come to be?
You get the reference in "Pita Malort" right?
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Thursday, 26 April 2012 18:36 (twelve years ago) link
The guy from the Hunger Games?
I think it had something to do with that Kanye West song about mocha lattes and you either misheard or just sang it as "okra lattes."
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Thursday, 26 April 2012 18:38 (twelve years ago) link
Yes, Peeta Malarkybutt.
I don't know that song.... Was Kanye performing ~ 2004? (which is when that name happened)

Oh, I didn't realize that was Kanye West. Despite the chorus saying "Thanks to Kanye's workout plan/I'm the envy of all my frans".

Why is music so hard.

It's Kanye. I was making a joke.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Thursday, 26 April 2012 18:56 (twelve years ago) link
Like maybe you didn't realize it WS Kanye West because you thought it said Tanya. Also Tanya's Workout Plan is funny to me. Who's Tanya?

She said and smiled in her special way.

It is a really terrible song!
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:22 (twelve years ago) link
That.... it was just so terrible!!
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:23 (twelve years ago) link
I'm honestly fascinated by how terrible it is.
― two overweight dachshunds with three eyes (La Lechera), Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:24 (twelve years ago) link
I immediately blamed Rahm.
You expect these things to be not-great, but that was JUST AWFUL!
I was really hoping that the cut off word in the URL was "awesome" (chicago-has-a-new-tourism-anthem-and-its-beyond-aw,73085/) but I think the person actually wrote "it's just aw,723[095u12!!"

I mean "Go Cubs Go" is about as terrible but it came from a terrible time and it should be a fucking warning to never be so terrible again.
;__;
fucking hippie jam bands
― Silky Slim (dan m), Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:36 (twelve years ago) link
talk about misnomers too -- there is nothing hippie or jammy about that song whatsoever
― two overweight dachshunds with three eyes (La Lechera), Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:46 (twelve years ago) link
That is terrible. Maybe they want to cut down on tourism this year?
I started reading Electric Eden on the plane yesterday and I can already tell this is going to make me want to buy a lot of records.

Oh yeah, that'll be my first stop. I was wishing I could've accessed it while I was on my flight to listen as I read. Really great stuff so far, but I've only just now gotten to the introduction of Lomax to the story.

Hey dudes, what's up?
― Jeff, Friday, 27 April 2012 12:24 (twelve years ago) link
I had a dream about Mayor Rahm last night. We were at a party and he got too drunk and I was trying to help him call his goons to pick him up, and he wanted to go in the kitchen and eat so I took him there then went to collect his Blackberry and his jacket and tie that he'd taken off when he was dancing. I was trying to think of a way to ask him to help me get a job when my alarm went off.

hi guys. i feel pretty good today after a week of feeling crabby and irritable (primarily due to shitty sleep)

Hi n/a. Congratulations.
Slow day at work. Anyone want to lunch with me? I am pretty sure that I can be in the Loop at almost any time.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 27 April 2012 15:10 (twelve years ago) link
i could lunch but not til 1:30 which usually seems too late for everyone else. can't switch my schedule around today, unfortunately.
