Chicago: Totally hands-free!!!

Someone sum up the underage sex thread for me. I just can't be bothered today. *sigh*

The concept of characters like "Strawberry Field"...not for me.

The solution to the overperfumed is a sharp counterpunch with Febreeze.

Plenty of bungalows in Chicago once you get west of, say, Pulaski. The neighborhood where my grandma lived, in Elmwood Park, just a few blocks west of Chicago, is like all bungalows all the time.

Summary for Kenan: "The defendant spent far longer than was necessary to pass the Sambuca from his mouth to the girl's."

i have a HOUSE

Woah! Check out this living room!

You need to throw a party, wolf.

Why is it so early? I'm frickin' starving.

I ate a brownie.

I brought one for later.

I'm bored.

I don't really get The Container Store. but: I am a horrible slob.

today is going soooooo sloooowwwwllllyy. sigh. at least yesterday, when the boss (who clearly thought she was sarah jessica parker) was here, there was lots to do to keep busy!

i think we will be throwing a party soon enough here

RW, will you be playing at the bottle show in October?

I AM BORED I NEED A JOB

So I heard Feist's "1,2,3,4" in about three different places yesterday. I think it is the licensed/store-muzak song of the year.

it has been raining constantly today and my accuweather widget says it's sunny & 76. i guess it's less-than-accu.

i'm mostly annoyed b/c i need to exchange some knitting needles and i melt in the rain.

Kels, get a house custom-made like those people who can't ever be in direct sunlight: a canopied back yard, a portico that shields you until you get in the car/to your destination, very deep eaves, covered porches, etc. Special needs, mang.

I guess it shouldn't surprise me that things like that exist, yet I am still a little surprised.

What, the illness itself or the specially built house? It was on that cheesy home rebuilding show a couple of years ago, the adolescent daughter could never go in the sun. Err, maybe it was polymorphic light erruption? That's moderately treatable, though, and it seemed like her condition wasn't.

anyone going to cococoma tonight? i may also hit up simian mobile disco at the bottle after

I bet Kevin is.

RW I meant to tell you about this at Sarah's bday party but I don't think I ever did. Not sure if it's what you're looking for but it's at least somewhat relevant to your skills/interests/whatever, right?

Dr. Wax apparently "forgot" to order the new Les Savy Fav and then questioned the accuracy of my statement that it was released today, so I had to buy it at Barnes & Noble. GOOD JOB INDEPENDENT MUSIC RETAILERS.

Idiots!

I am the King of the divan wins! It was my 2nd choice.

Ok, so that's old news. I'm behind the times.

Jen: contain yourself!
i love the container store

This album is good. It's like Les Savy Fav but 12% poppier.

I'm listening to it now, too.

LSF, get in my shuffle!

"Raging in the Plague Age" is really poppy.

Actually, haha, when I reviewed "The Equestrian" a couple of weeks ago, I said it wasn't pop enough.

I am listening to Rudimentary Peni.

Sadness:

1. "Les Savy Fav does not accept add requests from bands."
2. No Chicago-area tour dates.

John copy or link to review so I can argue with you (note: I am going into a meeting in 10 minutes and probably going home after that).

The main reason I review indie-rock singles on the Jukebox is to balance out Martin Skidmore's reviews, which nine times out of ten are something like: "US indie, with lifeless guitars and not much of a tune. Dreadful. [2]"

Secretarial duties I normally get away with not doing that I have been asked to do today:
"Take this down, will you?"
"I will take a fresh pot of decaf."
"I would like a cab here at 2:45..."
None of those requests were from coworkers.
