Chicago: Totally hands-free!!!

I spent forever on the phone with tech support at home and my DSL still isn't working. Stupid.

Ski bros update: one guy e-mailed and asked to be taken out of the e-mail loop (interesting), and another went on planning accommodations like nothing happened. If this is some sort of scam I can't see it.

John, are you still thinking about pub trivia tonight?

Am I lame if I postpone again? All I can think about this week is packing/moving.

I promise I will be ready for trivia soon.

Also, I just noticed that Stephen Tobolowsky is on Heroes this season. Awesome. It'd be even more awesome if I'd ever watched Heroes before.

No, that's cool.

I was rooting for a postponement...I feel like crap and I'm flying to MA on Thursday. Wah Wah Wah.

fuck you zsa zsa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8_CP8vi0qM

Zsa Zsa should collaborate with Xiu Xiu.

Or maybe Xuxa should star in a commercial for Miu Miu, with music by Siouxsie Sioux.

Koo-koo-ka-choo.

i only just woke up...i couldn't sleep last night, made myself stop looking at the clock about 4am, so don't know what time i finally fell asleep. sigh.

oh, i love those shoes, jenny! are they from boden? i think i've looked at them for a long time trying to convince myself that since they're wedges they're really almost as comfortable as flats. but i don't think that's true.

not sleeping is one of my least favorite things ever.

since they're wedges they're really almost as comfortable as flats heels.

Or I guess put another way: not having to balance on a narow point vs not being able to bend your foot in the middle. :)

Yes, they are from Boden. My mother got their catalog and gave it to me and now I'm smitten with about 3/4 of everything they sell.

Oh bummer about trivia night... I might have come out for it since Jeff is playing tennis after work and won't be home until way late.

I am also fond of these:

Hi everybody! Today is Shana's birthday! We are going to be at Small Bar on Division from 8:30 onwards, but not too late, since it's a Tuesday. Come celebrate if you'd like!

Amanda, I just cited a post on the Language Log for an article I'm fact-checking.

yeah, i really can't do heels as i have wussy feet and they make me cry.i'm also kind of obsessed with the boden catalog, which is weird because i never saw it when i was in london but it arrived here and i want almost everything in it!

Finally, we have a home!

We booked two 3 bedroom condos w/spa (see following web site) http://www.davidhollands.com/summer/properties/townpointe.html which is 100 yds from the town lift and 1 block from Main Street. These units are much nicer then the ones that I sent yesterday and of course we will only have 5 of us in each unit. This will be much more comfortable for us.

The dates are January 29th to February 3rd. I've been assured that we will all have our own beds and not pull-out couches.

Total cost for both units come out to 8,092.80 which is a AAA rate. I need everyone to send ASAP $809.28
to me since I need to pay for this now. Please forward your checks to:

Fr3d S4doff
1535 Northpark Drive, Ste 101
Weston, FL 33326

STEVE, PLEASE CONTACT STEVE MILLER AND HAVE HIM SEND HIS CHECK

Does anyone belong to AAA, let me know? (This saved us $800.00)

I will be booking our flights later today and will send our flight information to you .

Let me know if you have any questions.

Fr3d R. S4doff, C.P.A.

Dude, if Steve Miller is in then I am totally going.

So are they just totally ignoring you?

joker
smoker
skiier

So are they just totally ignoring you?

Yup. Assuming that this isn't some sort of convoluted scam, I've gathered that these are all accountants of some sort who went to school together and now go on ski/coke vacations together.

Eating oranges gets me totally high.

I haven't read closely. Was coke actually mentioned?

No, I just assume.

yeah, going to aspen for skiing could be anybody, but specifically mentioning "pussy" narrows the personality type somewhat.

Cokey McDate-Rape

Also, isn't working in debt consolidation pretty damn smarmy?

Found a photo of Fred S and his wife Randi (at right of photo), on the website for the Rotary Club he belongs to:

His buddy Howard D.:

They live a half hour away from each other in Florida. Howard gave $4,600 to Hillary this year.

I think you should email the wife to let her know about the cocaine and hookers that these guys are planning on procuring for their ski trip.

Those peacock shoes look gorgeous and uncomfortable.

Eventually we'll be able to exaggerate this to the point that they are the leaders of multi-national drug cartel that dabbles in sex trafficking and launders their money through their debt consolidation fronts. All because one of their number is a douchbag who counts "pussy" as one of the pros of a Colorado ski resort.

That's it, I'm calling the DEA.

Those blue shoes are a beautiful color, btw. I'm afraid of suede pretty much across the board, but that depth of color is tempting....

Fred looks like our IT guy.

Colette, I can't wear heels either, for the same reasons. My mother actually gave me grief on my last visit home for spending my formative foot-growth years wearing "those awful Birkenstocks" and never getting properly acclimated to uncomfortable shoes.

I think you should email the wife to let her know about the cocaine and hookers that these guys are planning on procuring for their ski trip.

Go for it.

I have a lot of wheelin' and dealin' going on these days:

* just posted for-sale ad for my guitar on craigslist, so I can:
* buy the guitar I want from Chi. Music Exchange
* also might go see a guy about some drum mics tomorrow
* need to find someone who is willing to fix up my 8-track recorder

(Although that's Howard's, not Fred's wife.)

NOTE: I DO NOT REALLY THINK ANYBODY SHOULD EMAIL ANYBODY'S WIFE. NOR DO I THINK THESE GUYS ARE CRIMINALS. I THINK THEY ARE JUST DING DONGS.

BEING A DING DONG IS NOT A CRIME.

I SHOULD KNOW BECAUSE I AM ALMOST A LAWYER.

I agree, I am just trying to get all "so not gonna happen" on these guys.

I would LOVE to go on a skiing trip with some non-ding-dongs. Let's do it.

Your internet sleuthing skillz are impressive, I have to admit.

xp Without so much coke or pussy, obv. But skiing, hot tubbing, sitting in front of a fire... these are all things devoutly to be wish'd.
