Chicago: Totally hands-free!!!

I SEE THROUGH THE BULLSHIT

evan, write 10 more BJ songs

Evan: Well good, I guess.

JESUS NICK STOP POSTING

That's better.

Congrats on the new job, J-town.

NICK STOP ACTUALLY ANSWERING PEOPLE'S QUESTIONS WITH USEFUL INFORMATION

Thanks, N-bot. I feel very happy now that I have a job.

rw i'd say i'd join you but i'm about ready to turn in. being surrounded by napping dogs is having a nyquil like effect on me. plus my job hunt turned to ebay browsing about a half hour ago so sleep is for the best. i kinda want to buy a car?

People who need jobs:

Evan
Colette
Kevin
Jenny

I'm pretty awake but it's probably a bad idea for me to go to a show.

yaaaaaaay for new Jenny job!

I bought a cheap alarm clock (if you recall, my last one melted under the heat of a slumped over lamp) and it's pretty cool--it automatically sets its own time and date as soon as you plug it in. All you have to do is set the time zone. Also, you can make it project the time onto a surface.

And it was the cheapest alarm clock that also had a radio.

It's Emerson brand--wouldn't buy a microwave from them, but I've had their cassette players in the past and they got the job done.

i'm fascinated by this wwII thing on wttw. i just watched some old dude basically have a ptsd episode then exhibit some of the darkest gallows humor ever.

this is probably someone's grandpa.

h'mmm i have never heard of this baroness but i'm intrigued.

again, because i am bored. also, because $LADY appears to be busy tonight.

or i could just write 10 more BJ songs.

yeah, since i've been reading this thread regularly, both jenny and jesse have landed cool jobs. so maybe this thread is magic!

i haven't met evan, but surely there's something the three of us could start up that would make some money using our 'unique skill set'. let's think up ideas that we can get venture capitalist suckers to invest in!

p.s. congrats jenny! do you like shoes? i used to shop at the payless in the thompson center a lot, it's pretty big. which i'm sure was the main criterion for your decision to work there.

congrats jenny! also, basil and mint infused grain alcohol is magic. perhaps a bad kind of magic on a monday night, but magic nonetheless.

Oh that does sound like magic. What did you do with it?

Katie? Katie???

ps THUNDERSTORMS TODAY FUCK YEAH

That Baroness is a pretty good album, but High On Fire's new one is better I think.

I only listened to the Baroness album once through but it seemed really thin-sounding, maybe since they're playing dual leads so often. I need to listen to High on Fire again.

My mother recently had my grandfather's Bronze Star framed, along with his commendation. He got the star for bravery and "operating a radio for two days without relief" during WWII. I asked him what it was like to operate a radio for two days without relief and he said, "Well, I imagine I got pretty hungry."

Colette, I am pretty utilitarian when it comes to shoes, but I like looking at shoes that I would never wear myself. For example, I would like someone whose feet I see on a regular basis to have these:

I do like going into Payless, though. And I recently went into the Dress Barn at the T Center, which is the dumbest name for a women's clothing store ever.

I always want to moooooo when I see a Dress Barn.

PANTY SILO

SOCK TROUGH.

So tired this morning.

haha panty silo

speaking of farm-related things, check out Wikipedia's entry re. poultry farms!!

Poultry farms

Poultry farming is the exploitation of chickens, turkeys, ducks, or any other slave animal, generally for meat or eggs. All animal farms exist under the paradigm of speciesism.

I'm only a couple blocks away from the Thompson Center. Let's do lunch!

Let's all do lunch sometime. I'm 10 min away on the Blue line and I'm downtown a lot.

I did my very first Wikipedia edit.

Is the Thompson Center the weird building where the Clark and Lake stop is?

I don't know about weird. It's got a fugly sculpture in its plaza.

And it's Christmas year-round there!

Wow, is that what that building looks like?

They're cool pics.

I am basically 20 miles from the Thompson Center. I will not be meeting you all for lunch any time soon.

John, are you still thinking about pub trivia tonight?

So I had a nummy leftover egg, bacon and tomato sandwich in my bag when I got home yesterday, and failed to refrigerate it. A little before midnight, I decided it was still probably fine to eat. I was mistaken.

And that's all for this installment of News of the Unrefrigerated.

LOLZ

So I've been mistakenly added to an e-mail thread of some dudes planning a ski trip. I have no idea who they are, but I do have a pretty simple gmail address so I'm sure it's just a random mistake. Funniest one (in a discussion of where to ski and where to stay):

"Pro

Aspen has better pussy

Con

Im married...for now

Regards,

H0w4rd Dv0rkin"

What should I do? I'm leaning towards sending an e-mail to all of them to say "I don't know you people." Or should I try to convince them of the merits of the pussy in Park City, UT?

you know what's really good in Aspen? The ass.

I say you jump in on the conversation and just not sign the emails. Maybe you'll find out who they think you are.

the thing is, he's right.

Apparently the pussy guy is this guy:

...insofar as that there are actually WOMEN in Aspen. and they're all Australian (goers) or S American (pretty!) or S African (go to hell!)

See how far you can go with this. Join them on the slopes.

and they all do coke

although, for gay ski week, Aspen becomes a brotal sausage fest.

Australian (goers)

:)

I hear this is true.
