The people on freecycle make me rage.

At least the one's I've dealt with. They have made shit so complicated. YOU ARE GETTING FREE STUFF, STOP BEING A COLOSSAL PAIN IN THE ASS.

Kenan, that pic of me at Intonation is AWFUL. It really reflects how I felt there--tired, hot, drunk, and just plain worn out.

Jesse, Sunday, 23 September 2007 17:17 (sixteen years ago) link

but that pic of me with the cock ring is nice. I look MUCH better than I felt that morning. And I look like I'm wearing lip gloss.

Jesse, Sunday, 23 September 2007 17:17 (sixteen years ago) link

Apparently, Staples recycles computers.

Kenan, that pic of me at Intonation is AWFUL.

It's gone.

Yay, I just got boxes from Julia!

I heard. She has a ton. Or used to.

I'm taking some time off of ILX to get some things done -- drop a line if there's a TTday, etc. See you soon!

Eazy, Monday, 24 September 2007 03:47 (sixteen years ago) link

Aw, Kenan, thanks, but you didn't have to get rid of that photo. Marking it private would have been OK. But thank you!

Jesse, Monday, 24 September 2007 12:52 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm finally watching the cornholing video. Nice work, but I have to go to work now.

Are you willing to work with others?
Yes
No

chicago kevin, Monday, 24 September 2007 13:02 (sixteen years ago) link

willing, yes. looking forward to, no.

chicago kevin, Monday, 24 September 2007 13:06 (sixteen years ago) link

that question made me realize my ideal job is probably toll booth attendant.

Those questions would be fine if they were on a job counselor's questionnaire, but on a job application they're pretty loaded.

jaymc, Monday, 24 September 2007 13:39 (sixteen years ago) link

I hate shit like that, because if you tell the truth it makes you look bad but if you lie it's really obvious that you're lying. When I worked for that company in Richmond that did testing for potential employees, they used questions like that to find out how honest people were being in the testing.

it just got worse from there, i'm actually hoping i don't get this job and i'm beyond broke at this point.

chicago kevin, Monday, 24 September 2007 13:44 (sixteen years ago) link

the correct answer would have been i don't work too hard because i'm likely hung the hell over.

chicago kevin, Monday, 24 September 2007 13:45 (sixteen years ago) link

ugh. Good morning. I want to eat everything in the world for breakfast today.

kenan, Monday, 24 September 2007 14:00 (sixteen years ago) link

jesse, what did you try to post on my myspace? It says image does not exist.

kenan, Monday, 24 September 2007 14:14 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh who knows. What time was it?

Jesse, Monday, 24 September 2007 14:15 (sixteen years ago) link

meh. Skip it. You should be on facebook instead, anyway.

kenan, Monday, 24 September 2007 14:21 (sixteen years ago) link

OK LISTEN UP CHICAGO

Jenny and I are going to go see a midnight showing of Hedwig and the Angry Inch on either Friday or Saturday night at the Music Box. Come with us.

I'll let you know which night in a bit.

thanks for the heads-up, kev

i'm not current with my IL license, but I'm nationally registered and current in MT. I've been looking into how to make it happen here in Chicago

river wolf, Monday, 24 September 2007 14:35 (sixteen years ago) link

Nick, were you trying to post a pic up there? I just see a blank post.

Today is easy.

Hey, you know what's really good? C0zy C0rner. Thanks, Dan.

KitCat, Monday, 24 September 2007 14:54 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, I was making a joke similar to Kenan's, but mine was funnier, because it was Hello Kitty, who has no mouth at all.

n/a, Monday, 24 September 2007 14:56 (sixteen years ago) link

my weekend: watch the Office, drink, gig, fried chicken, rehearse, gig, ribs, drink, sleep, brunch, record, fried chicken, watch the Office, sleep

Jordan, Monday, 24 September 2007 14:57 (sixteen years ago) link

I have been thinking about guitars and recording a lot this weekend. Probably too much.

n/a, Monday, 24 September 2007 15:03 (sixteen years ago) link

recording is awesome

question answered!

kenan, Monday, 24 September 2007 15:17 (sixteen years ago) link

I have it on good authority that Hello Kitty uses sunlight energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose through the process of photosynthesis.

n/a, Monday, 24 September 2007 15:20 (sixteen years ago) link

I've done a lot of packing, but it seems like there still must be so much more to go. I don't know if that's just a function of having a sink still full of dishes and sheets still on the bed, etc., things that aren't going to change until this weekend, anyway.
