That's english to dutch back and forth twice.

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

I'm all alone here, aren't I?

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:03 (nineteen years ago)

I'm into accents?

I get Richard Price confused with Richard Powers and Richard Ford. Not with artist Richard Prince, though. Price is the dude that wrote Clockers, I'm guessing? Actually, I haven't read anything by any of them.

The new Fridge album is pretty good.

― dan m, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:13 (nineteen years ago)

You're "into" accents.

― n/a, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:15 (nineteen years ago)

You're into "accents."

― n/a, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:17 (nineteen years ago)

"You" are into accents.

åccéñts

― dan m, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:17 (nineteen years ago)

Clockers is good reading. I think you'd like it (and The Wire and The Sopranos and, after a while, [i]Entourage) for the sociology and anthropology.

Gepensioneerden? A pensioners' garden?

― Eazy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

indeed, clockers is good. i loved that book.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:32 (nineteen years ago)

I love both Richard Price novels and the Wire, but I hate "guy shows" and "man novels*." What I do like is "gritty urban realism," so these two things go along nicely. Omar is one of my favorite characters too.

See: Richard Yates' series of identical man-novels

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

Samaritan is really good too. Entertaining, at least.

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

Richard Yates' first man novel is pretty awesome.

― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, the first one is good. Then you realize that they are ALL THE SAME and contain the same characters doing the same stupid things.

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:35 (nineteen years ago)

yeah i hated the Easter Parade and I stopped reading his novels after that

― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:39 (nineteen years ago)

I like some of Richard Ford's short stories, especially Rock Springs, and like him very much as a reader, but the Sportswriter trilogy are man-novels in a negative sense.

― Eazy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

What is the Rabbit tetralogy? Are those man-novels? I like those. But much like Amanda's fondness for "gritty urban realism," I like the Rabbit books for their "domestic realism."

― jaymc, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

All our peeps are slowly defecting to the DC thread. ;_;

― dan m, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

That's what I was trying to say yesterday but did not want to be explicit. ;_;x2

we be boring?

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:58 (nineteen years ago)

hi guys you know what is depressing? midcentury dude literature. john updike is making me sad.

LOL. I didn't even read this before posting about Updike.

We should basically just combine the DC and Chicago threads.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

Actually, Laurel posting on the DC thread is fine, since it's not like she has any particular allegiance to Chicago. And Kevin? Yeah, whatever, I dunno. It's the fact that Evan's posting there now that makes me all ;_;

― jaymc, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:00 (nineteen years ago)

And Horseshoe. She didn't come to our lady party either. ;_;

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:02 (nineteen years ago)

I think a one-week joint thread could be fun. Of course, this place is like crack for me and one week of cold turkey wouldn't be bad, either.

― Eazy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:02 (nineteen years ago)

That would be a disaster. Think of all the references we'd have to 'splain to John.

― dan m, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:03 (nineteen years ago)

Nice to know I'm missed, but "whatever."

― Laurel, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:03 (nineteen years ago)

hi Chicago I still love you and I would have loved to go to lady party but I was having a panic attack week. :( I'm sorry, Amanda! when are we all going out drinking again, anyway?

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:03 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I dunno. I disappear in large groups. I guess it's fine. Carry on. Que sera sera. [sigh]

Sadly, as many of you may have noticed, I am not good at "going out drinking." I am good at small gatherings with few people.

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:04 (nineteen years ago)

well, then, I shall have to come up with one of these small gatherings!!!

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:05 (nineteen years ago)

I should mention that I excel at "staying in and drinking"...

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:06 (nineteen years ago)

hey john, i was thinking about posting some football related news to the ilnfl board. do i have your permission?

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:07 (nineteen years ago)

Large groups, when they're good, essentially become a cluster of small groups anyway! It's just that there's room to circulate. I mean, that's pretty much what the Monday Night Drinking Club is all about.

― Laurel, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:07 (nineteen years ago)

We should bring Hot Dougs to Julia some Friday.

― Eazy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:08 (nineteen years ago)

xp See, that's what I'm not good at. Tiring.

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:09 (nineteen years ago)

YES HOT DOUGS!!!! CAN WE HAVE A SMALL GATHERING IN WHICH HOT DOUGS IS CONSUMED? ALSO, I OWE YOU A DOG AND SOME FRIES, ERIC!!!

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:11 (nineteen years ago)

If you visit, Amanda, we will install you in a chair at the corner of the bar with an order of veggie dumplings, and everyone will come to you. :D

― Laurel, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:11 (nineteen years ago)

That's more like it. I grew up attending fundraisers with my parents and hiding in the corner while they circulated and talked to like 150,000 people. All I wanted then and now is someone to sit behind the plant with me and tell secrets.

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:11 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, and occasionally to sing karaoke.

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:12 (nineteen years ago)

yes, karaoke + hot dougs + gathering.

beer goes without saying, I think.

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:12 (nineteen years ago)

Kevin, you can do whatever you like. I didn't mean for my post to come off the way you took it. I think maybe the key differences between you and Evan are that a) you still post on both threads and b) you've been posting on the DC thread almost since the beginning, it feels like. Whereas Evan used to post here and then he defected. Not that I actually care about any of this.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:13 (nineteen years ago)

OMG AMANDA'S DAD IS SUNG MYUNG MOON.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:14 (nineteen years ago)

Well, wherever people post is fine, I was just lamenting the current state of affairs. Maybe I will just take up residence on the NHL thread until the playoffs end.

― dan m, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

I AM DAUGHTER MOONY

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe I exaggerated, but still. Do not like large group events.

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

Large = >4 people

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

you can read the dc thread all day long, with their odd little colloquialisms and their quaint pictures-posting customs, but sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came.

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:19 (nineteen years ago)

That doesn't count house parties, but you know what I mean.

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:20 (nineteen years ago)

Ok going going gone have fun tootles.

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 20:22 (nineteen years ago)
