Chicago: Hot Streets!

Pray away the gay.

I slept from 6:15 am to 8:00 am. What do I win?

the truth.

i slept for 7.5 hours, as usual.

I will buy you a coffee the next time I see you.

I'm listening to it at work right now! Unfortunately, mastering had to be pushed back a week, so you'll hear the unmastered versions of the songs. I still think they sound good, though. But as Matt said the other day, mastering is basically just like pressing a big "BETTER" button.

I got mine right here. Give it to Jordan.

I loved the espresso this morning! And I'm so glad we're using our espresso maker because I have 6 tiny cups for it I never get to use. When my mom and Hev come to visit, I'm going to ask Nick to make it again so we can at least use 4 of the cups at once.

I'm feeling kind of confrontational, today. I am definitely not getting enough sleep and it's now catching up to me in the form of...

TOTAL BITCHINESS. And also hypersensitivity. Yeah! I am FUN TO BE WITH!

I think I'll go pick some fights on the internet.

I guess I could probably check out the last CotC at Cockthruster or something. I don't think they have it at my local place (n0rthc0ast).

Specialty Video has it, but I don't know if there is one of those around where you live.

...

Oh wait, I get it.

It's time to get me off
[heavy breathing]

I met a nondairy creamer she was exclusively laid out just like a fruit cake with a wet spot bigger than a great lake she took me to the new church and baptized me with salt she told me LIQUOR I am a new man. HOT STREETS!

(But really, HOT FREAKS!)

this one is on the house.

I was trying to figure out how to get out of an unofficial department lunch today, because I'm too tired to make awkward conversation among co-workers, but then realized that it was rescheduled for NEXT WEEK. Hooray!

I wish people bought me clothes. Jeans that fit!

The last few days have been crazy for me, I don't know where to start. However, I do know that my next rock band is going to be named Dot and the Matrices.

We played three sets and I got completely trashed. At some point I felt horrible was ready to crash in our cabin when there was some noise about playing an afterbar IN ANOTHER CABIN. It was some weird summer camp shit. Our snare drummer was lying in bed in his underwear, and he woke up, put his sandles on, and started hiking down the trail. That inspired me, so we went and played a vulgar and sloppy after set.

Next morning, we left and found the coolest breakfast place ever. They make and sell Dork Clothing and clever liberal bumper stickers there. I had awesome fried walleye for breakfast. Then we drove 10 hours to get home and tried to reach friends in New Orleans on the phone.

Now I'm torn in way too many directions at work, between a ton of work to get done, worrying about New Orleans, my head spinning from relationship stuff, and normal Monday morning unmotivation.

Got to certain shows in SF and you will be depressed by the strange fake-(LAST YEAR'S)New York thing everyone seems to have going on.

xp wow!

What's a sousaphone?

Also: I had a great time at the Mexican wedding and danced so much that my feet are STILL crippled. I even danced to "Gasolina."

Jordan -- your weekend sounds like mad fun.

Ha, I wish I could provide them! I saw plenty of people (including the hott bridesmaids) snapping pics, I'll have to try and track some down for posterity.

Also, I am comfortable in my hipster hood! I wish I were 10 years younger, because then I'd appreciate it more. But I don't wish that it were 1995, because then I'd probably be too scared to live there.

That sounds fun, robots.

How tacky. You gotta get an F train shirt.

I don't worry about sullying the purity of the city or anything. Let New Yorkers move here. New Yorkers are fine individuals.

Still, I wonder what the rage is about. Did they hear about Millenium Park or something? It's nice and all, but instead of the bean, there should be 40-ft bronze likeness of Will Smith, and it should be called Willenium Park.

I would like to propose a mid-winter FAP there because it's the coziest, warmest place I've been in a good long while.

I like chandeliers. I don't like deep dish pizza, but I guess I should give it one more chance.

do it!

They have thin crust too! You can get thin crust IN the pan! I don't like deep dish either, since it's usually gross, but this wasn't gross. I'm not going to tell you that it's the BEST pizza I've ever eaten, but it's worth going there for the atmo.

They have a HUGE round table that looks like it's from 500 years ago and probably seats 10-12 people. Maybe we could reserve that sometime and have a huge Northside FAP. (It's pretty convenient to 90/94 too, if anyone wants to come down from WI)

What's Restaurant Club?

(Please ignore weird photo of me on the front page.)

(Actually, that doesn't really do a good job of explaining. Basically, some friends of mine had the idea to go out to dinner every Friday night, and invite anyone who wanted to come via e-mail. Each week a new person would pick a new restaurant to go to, with the idea that no restaurant would ever be repeated. 280 weeks later, here we are.)

Jesus, I know ALL of you!

I won't even say what I was googling to end up at this page at 1 a.m. on a Sunday night.

jaymc, I really like the Ditty Bops! I mean, I hadn't heard them before now, ... In theory, porn sounds kind of fun, but I've never ever seen any didn't ...
