My office vibrated on and off about 4-6 months while gas mains were being replaced. It didn't so much annoy me as unsettle my basic survival instincts. Also I would embarrass myself by getting startled and shouting DAMMIT! Almost every day.

mh when you come to Chicago we're going to serve you shots of Malort in a pita.

I was at the big Binny's on Sunday looking for a particular brand of aquavit and loled when I saw Malort on the bottom shelf of an entire row of "Imported Cordials".

Yo, I got back yesterday. I was going to post here but felt burdened to recap my trip, so I said fuck it. But I had a good trip! Maybe I will tell you about it sometime.

I am sorry I didn't get the chance to meet more of you. Next time one of which there will be because holy cow did I like your city. Jenny we went to the zoo and then tried to eat on the boat but it was closed for the season. It looked like it would be a lot of fun tho and it was cool to walk along the lake.

OTM.

I'm sorry we didn't have at least a cup of coffee or something! I thought you were busy with parents, so I was waiting for you to contact me :(
mh if you are around the corner from me and fail to contact me for hanging out, you can expect my wrath to rain down without mercy.
― former personal denim advisor to the mayor, (La Lechera), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 21:48 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think I will be as close as around the corner, likely downtownish, but I have an entire day scheduled for Chicago iirc! It will be a Tuesday, though.
― mh, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 21:49 (twelve years ago) link
I could be wrong, and there's no way to find out, but iirc mh said he had previously stayed near you at the hotel in RP, and not that he is staying there on this visit.

― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 21:50 (twelve years ago) link
Oh, I understand that misunderstanding! Yes, sadly my friends moved from there long ago, but on the bright side, I will probably crash in a different hotel.
That is, unless I pull that trick where you just take your suitcase to the bar on Monday night and try to talk my way on to someone's couch / into someone's bed

Jeff was the only ILXor I managed to hook up with in NYC. Max and I coquettishly traded texts, but nothing came of it.

I'm not going to drink with any of you again unless it is in NYC.

Omg lol CA. LL, we were busy w parents the whole time except late sat night when I updated here last min. I am so sorry. Like I said tho we will be back without question.

You smarty pantses probably already know this (especially Askance J) but the next book in Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall trilogy is coming out soon - Bring Up the Bodies. I'm excited to get it as an e-book because Wolf Hall is the book that finally tipped me over into the pro-e-book camp after I lugged the hardback around Chicago for however long it took me to read it.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 12:42 (twelve years ago) link
Thanks for reminding me, I've been meaning to pick up Wolf Hall for some time.
