i'm at my desk, no one would notice but my pants are also SOAKED and i don't want to feel the freezing cold wet cuff of my pants against my bare ankle. in a half hour or so i'm going over to buy socks at least. i'll take off my boots then.

or rather, after i get back with the new socks.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

New socks are one of life's great pleasures.

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:37 (nineteen years ago)

And how!

I got some nice warm socks for Xmas and they are already wearing out in the heels. I need to learn how to knit so I can knit some serious f'n socks that I don't have to replace every six months.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:38 (nineteen years ago)

this was the first year i didn't get any new socks for xmas in like forever. only my sister and nephew got me anything but they got me some really awesome/useful stuff.

Where's HoB at anyway? Is it reasonably easy to get to/park near?

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:39 (nineteen years ago)

Favorite line of that book: "Orange must be my size!"

― Laurel, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

xpost It's at like Michigan and some little offshoot of Wacker Drive. I used to walk by every day on my way to temping. There's a parking garage on the same block but it'll probably be $$$$.

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:41 (nineteen years ago)

me and that bird have the same specs!

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:41 (nineteen years ago)

Oh wait, that's not right. WTF am I thinking of?

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

i thought hob was at like dearborn and kinzie, over near the old AMF lanes.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

It's on Dearborn and Wacker - 329 N Dearborn St - which is reasonably easy to get to via public transit.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

i think there's like a hob hotel going in over there or a hard rock hotel or something retarded like that dan. maybe that's it?

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

Right next to Marina Towers.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

Why would I use public transit?

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I think it's Hard Rock...

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

I mean, the HoB is next to Marina Towers. Maybe you can just steal one of those parking spaces, Jordan.

xp - because there's no where to park near the HoB? And so you can get FUCKING WASTED? And because driving is no fun?

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

there's a parking garage UNDER hob i thought? i mean, if you want to pay for it.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:45 (nineteen years ago)

note: i've never been to hob so i have no idea.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

Note: There might be parking INSIDE the House of Blues for all I know. I don't know shit about shit re: parking.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

Oh that's right, I know I've seen HoB now.

Driving is no fun, but I wouldn't know where to park randomly. Maybe Rodger's Park, if I stay at Kid's place.

The first 10 or so storeys of the Marina Towers are for parking.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

Marina Towers and the BMW headquarters... separated at birth?

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

Wow, I've never seen those.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:54 (nineteen years ago)

that building is a bit much

― kenan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:55 (nineteen years ago)

I can't believe its still snowing out there.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

I am so enraged by the weather.

what should I eat for lunch?

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

Wild Rice Chicken Sausage with Blue Cheese Dijonnaise and Roasted Yellow Peppers?

― Eazy, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

omg don't even tempt me. if it weren't snowing I would be all over that!

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

do you see, snow? how you have come between me and my beloved? HATE.

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

In keeping with today's infuriating pattern of eating things that I could cook at home that would thus taste better, be cheaper, and generate less trash, I am eating some very disappointing red beans and rice from the "cajun" fast food hole downstairs.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

I was thinking of making some chicken + black bean soft tacos.

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

Speaking of cooking cheapo deliciousness at home, I have a huge amount of well-soaked chickpeas just waiting to be curryfied tonight.

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

for lunch:

Seaside cocktail of shrimp, ceviche, fresh-shucked oysters and avocado in limey, Tamazula-sparked cocktail sauce.

― kenan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

wait, is that what you're eating? that sounds goddamn amazing.

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

The truly tragic thing here is that I wanted something spicy because I have a dumb cold (and the stupid chills) and super spicy food makes me feel like I'm really doing something for my health and I figured cajun food is supposed to be spicy but really? This is just like a can of overcooked kidney beans.

SO SAD YOU GUYS.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

i want to light myself on fire, but this time only for the warmth.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

Go get some socks!

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

horseshoe, that is only what i would like to be eating

― kenan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

well, now it's what I'd like to be eating, too.

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:28 (nineteen years ago)

Me three.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

i want to be eating that, and also i want to be in buenos aires. Oh where did I leave my magic lamp?

― kenan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

Somebody with magic powers beam me over some of my Mom Mom's chicken and dumplings at about 6:30 this evening for dinner. And some collards. kthxbi

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

mmm, collards.

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

I make a mean mess of collards.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

god I wish I had some sort of green in my house right now.

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:35 (nineteen years ago)

I will have all this ChILXors over for collards one night.

xp - sounds like you're talking weeeeeeeeeed.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:35 (nineteen years ago)

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:36 (nineteen years ago)
