We had an office potluck just now, so I haven't been outside since this morning, either.

also, the spice house might have a different quality of spices than cheapo store brands. when i started cooking with penzey's spices i had to decrease the amounts i usually used because they were more potent.

Going to Penzey's makes me want to cook more than almost anything else.

I need a new bed. I'm thinking of this base: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/images/uploads/8-21--sultan.jpg
― Jesse, Monday, 24 September 2007 18:25 (sixteen years ago) link
There's storage under the base!
That kind of looks like a kid's bed.

You have the option of sleeping inside of it.
I guess because it looks like it has drawers.

Everyone should be eating ice cream today.

It doesn't have drawers--it lifts up.

I like this website a lot. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/

You should be looking at http://chicago.apartmenttherapy.com/, sell out.

88 degrees according to the bank here in Deerfield, and it felt every single one of those.

their default location is NYC. It's kind of odd that they have different cities, since most of the stuff they link to is available online.

their default location is NYC.
Just like the Noise Board, then.

I think the er founder/creator of the site lives in NYC, Jesse? And did most of his consulting/therapy work there, if I'm not mistaken (not that I've looked it up or anything). I have to say, though, that the book is really easy and unintimidating and makes it seem like not such a big deal to do the regular-length "cure" on yr apartment, rather than making you feel like design and decor are for professionals ONLY.

I recommended it to an ex once who was v concerned with his lovely apt being empty and "cold"-seeming and wasn't sure where to start -- he bought a copy for each of us and then broke up with me. :)
― Laurel, Monday, 24 September 2007 18:54 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh, I didn't even know there was a book! Or maybe I did. Anyway, this is my first real exposure to AT. It's more apartment porn, on top of Big Style, Small Spaces.

cold apartment: 1 Laurel: 0

Ach well, it was unrelated except that overall I think he's a less warm person who needed his space and rawther controlled surroundings. That's okay, it turns out I don't need to worry about his empty apartment anyway!

i have a wiener dog on my lap and another smaller wiener dog running back and forth on the back of my couch. and two boxes of jay reatard merch on my living room floor, i could solve my financial woes right quick, who wants a great t-shirt at a low price?

(Psst plus he hated midcentury furniture, so obv that was doomed.)
― Laurel, Monday, 24 September 2007 19:21 (sixteen years ago) link
How did you get the merch, K?

I need to just delete my MySpace account already. And Friendster, too.

I am transferring all of my stock over to Facebook, since it's the only social-networking site where one of the founders lists my band in the Favorite Music section of his profile.

I think of that as online suicide. Robin Ru22o did that a while back when she was in a depression. It's funny.
― Jesse, Monday, 24 September 2007 19:30 (sixteen years ago) link
You mean Robin Ru55o?
― jaymc, Monday, 24 September 2007 19:31 (sixteen years ago) link
Is that really why?
I mostly use myspace to listen to music at work, and also when I want to crash my web browser.
― Jordan, Monday, 24 September 2007 19:31 (sixteen years ago) link
All myspace does for me anymore is causes me to dread checking my email and sifting through all the porn spam I got.

I still have fun changing up my myspace layout and song. Also, I update my blog. I AM NOT ASHAMED!

laurel, i found an awesome eames-era end table on eBay over the weekend that was BEEEEEEEAUTIFUL and CHEAP!! I made lists of all the things I want to buy when I start getting a pay check again. it was mostly food and kitchen items but i'm sick of my utilitarian bookshelves and ugly-assed couch.
sarah, billisa just left for their tour and they've been printing the shirts for him. he'll be at the note with the busy signal on the 2nd.
hey dc/nyc folk who may be on this thread, go see cococcoma when they hit your town next week. or at least2 2/3rds of them. mike doesn't join them until providence i think or maybe nyc. i know he said he'll be there when they record at wfmu but i don't know if that's before or after the show at don pedro's.
― chicago kevin, Monday, 24 September 2007 19:36 (sixteen years ago) link
No, J, that's not really why. Facebook is basically the synthesis to Friendster and MySpace's thesis and antithesis: it's the streamlined aesthetic and regulated accessibility of Friendster combined with the technological innovation of MySpace.

YES YES wait Don Pedro's doesn't have a schedule anywhere...?
― Laurel, Monday, 24 September 2007 19:38 (sixteen years ago) link
