TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

Chaki promised me absinthe but could not deliver due to bar shenanigans.

as long as it wasn't BARE shenanigans

as in NEKKID

http://www.nerf-herders-anonymous.net/images/ANH_TuskenRaider_PD.jpg

it was 10$ a shot dude! i finally got one after the bar closed during post band chillz.

absinthe is the worst taste in the entire world ever.

so rong

let's never fight again

just tastes like licorice. nothing special.

Absinthe is a strong herbal liqueur distilled with a great number of flavorful herbs like anise, licorice, hyssop, veronica, fennel, lemon balm, angelica and wormwood

Druggie.

(No worries, Chaki; I actually thought you said they just didn't have any!)

never had absinthe but i did a shot of pernod for 7 bucks in a blink; the likes of ned couldve had as many 10 dollar shots of absinthe from my wallet as it couldve handled.

hm i guess someone might be a little cooler to chill with than chaki + jack johnson combined hm

(i shd note that it could only handle like 2 tops at any given time but still)

Flat tire in downtown Chicago at noon + two papers that were due at 5 pm today that I hadn't done at all before 2 a.m last night (with a 6 drive thrown in) pulled off SUCCESSFULLY + I had $20 in the bank and needed groceries but I put $3 of that into a bottle of Mssr. Shaw's wine OMG am I a wino (cuz I've drunk most of it and am but a waif of a man)? BUMP.

P.S. Two folks inviting me into ITR fold a week or two ago = you will never be rid of me, at least on Mon-Thur. nights when I'm procrastinating OH GOD I've turned into one of those poor bastard who's defined by his school workload help me ITR you're my only hope.

LISTEN TO JACK JHOHSONN

HE WILL SHOW THE WAY

CHILL IS THE ANSWER

All you have to do to not be that guy is:

1) Talk a whole bunch of silly shit.
2) Periodically vandalize ILE and ILM in harmless fun ways a la Special Artist Friday or Primary Thread Hijacking.
3) Accept Jack Johnson as your Lord and Savior.

(Unfortunately I am totally that guy because srsly, fuck Jack Johnson in his chilled-ass ear.)

WELCOME N.I.C.K.

i dislike jack johnson but i hate that donovan franksteiner guy more

Before I would have been all "fuck that Jack Johnson guy" but after TurnsOutJohnMayerIsAFunnyBastardWhoPrettyObviouslyKnowsHisMusicIsShitGate, I don't know what to think.

i'll tell you what to think: do not fall for the chill charms of jack johnson.

HOLY CRAP MOLLIFICATION REQUIREMENT FOR NEW POSTER MUST BE FULFILLED

DAN CAN YOU GET THIS BECAUSE I NEED TO ORDER A PIZZA, ALSO HELP GET A CAR UNSTUCK, ALSO SOCIALIZE WITH TRAPPED SARA R-C ALSO GET DRUNK

OH AND THANK YOU R.R.

When you move to the Bay Area, allow me to offer this one bit of advice:

When folks who live there offer to hug you upon meeting you, go right.

"It's heart to heart, not liver to liver."

^This has been said to me, in earnest, in my westward travels.

XPOST

YEAH DAN, moliFY.

!

that may be the first and best piece of cultural advice i have yet received!

what are you studying?

I'm a film student in Chicago at a film school (Columbia) famous for it's ability to turn out hardworking crew that have some rudimentary understanding of film theory.

However, thanks to some Christmas break friend of a friend introduction action, I spend at least half of my week 300 miles south of Chicago with my new but pretty great ladyfriend. So, y'know, I stay true to my rural collage town roots.

my bf's family lives in chicago - northbrook, i think?

300 miles! she must be pretty awesome! ;)

300 miles holy shit. Is that going to change soon? How do you get there?

Northbrook is a suburb, and we who live in the city limits find it is v. insulting when urban sprawl encouragers call themselves Chicagoans. However, even though I've lived here for two years, I've developed exactly zero attachment to the place, so I'll reserve judgment.

And yeah, she's pretty impressive. I'd have failed out of school by now if it weren't for her perfect balancing of assignment-finishing prodding and "oh well, fuck it, if you don't graduate, we'll just buy a really cheap house my friend is trying to sell" escapism.

I only have (absolute worst case scenario) eight months left (if I prove to be even somewhat of a worthwhile human being, five months) until I get my degree... I don't know where this is going.

We bought some pretty bitchin' records in Austin, TX over Spring Break, that's the important part.

Less important is the large, pre-signed check for the total charges incurred over SB I've promised said lady.

Did I mention I drank a fair amount of Charles Shaw's delicious "gettcha drunk real cheap" wine?

wilter: most weeks by the perrenially late but easy to sleep on amtrak, some weeks when I have homework that involves heavy lighting equipment by a car that wants to die SO HARD. It'll end, with luck and the grace of OUR DEAR LORD JESUS (been reading Left Behind as a lark) in August, when we'll move to Portland, OR, and I'll get a job as a Certified Pharmacy Tech.

But OH SHIT, my certification ran out today, I'll have to reapply.

Thankfully, this is a test whose hardest question is:

WHICH OF THESE DOESN'T REDUCE A FEVER:

A) Acetaminophen
B) Ibuprofen
C) Any antipyretic
D) MAGICAL SWAN EGGS

lol

you will never be rid of me, at least on Mon-Thur. nights when I'm procrastinating OH GOD I've turned into one of those poor bastard who's defined by his school workload help me ITR you're my only hope.

welcome to my worllddddd

i have just spent the past 3 hours finishing some spreadsheets that aren't rly finished but i gonna just send em in anyway cause i'm over that shit. bump!

N.I.C.K. tell me more about this cheap wine! i need to find a US equivalent for the nasty stuff i drink here in nz, once i move.

tehresa, how much skool have you got left?

xxpost

See, spreadsheets as homework seem to me, in this my senior year of a liberal arts education, like they'd be so very, very wonderful.

"What's that? As long as you do the requisite calculations and good ol' Hard Work, it's sure to be right? Your work isn't graded on a scale that has more to to with empirical evidence than your instructor"s experience trying to sell his film crit to the Tribune? AMAZING"

I'm sure it's the exact opposite to an equal degree on the other side of the fence, though.

get back to work you emo pansies

I just finished working on reviews all goddamn evening so fuck youse.

:-D

xxpost to self

R.R. Actually, if you're in California, and market forces haven't changed, you'll have access to the lovely Two-Buck Chuck! Charles Shaw is the name attached to this winery that has made quite a mint selling its mass produced and distributed through Trader Joe's but still rather palatable wine. If you live outside of the Golden State, if I'm not wrong, you have to pay an extra "Not living in God's chose paradise" dollar importation fee.

Just the same, it's Cabernet Sauvignon that isn't at all offensive to the senses that costs in most parts of the country $3 a bottle. Can't beat that.

Tombot you lovable bastard, I have more than 48 hours to complete my assigments for this week, I'm practically in the clear!

i have heard of this two buck chuck! well, i will be in CA a few months (ALLAH WILLING, OF COURSE). although, after last week's wine-tainted night out, i'm sticking to vodka for awhile.

i am so done witth that crap for tonight. anyway, the spreadsheets are painstaking and awful, and based on total bull/crazy schemes of this insane software salesman who thinks he's a marketer who really only seems to care if you can link a bunch of shit together. the actual content doesn't seem to matter to him, which kind of angers me, because when i am doing this for a living people are REALLY gonna care about that content. and it's all based on a totally antiquated sales model. anyway... whatever. i decided it doesn't matter much because when i turn in the final it will be on paper and no one will be able to see the formulas anyway. HAH!!

ruby i am only 1/2 way through with my second of 4 semesters.
definitely go for the budget chuck when you're in teh states! i wish i had some now.

I wouldn't be posting this much if I hadn't realized that the stats are going to reset soon (tomorrow) and that ONCE JUST THIS ONCE I'll be in the top posters stats after six years of reading and being culturally influenced by your collective music/food/consumerist whore recommendations.

I say this with v. deep love, btw.

i never handed in anything less than 2 weeks late, sometimes up to 6 weeks late. but that was the joy of doing an english lit/reli studies degree - no one gives a flying fuck.

Oh, how I wish I had a curriculum with such a policy!

In Columbia's attempt to produce WELL-ROUNDED ADULTS, there is a mandate from on high to accept NO late assignments, and to punish those who miss more than 15% of class sessions with FAILURE.
