Yeah, when we sold our car it was looking rough, and it was just five or six years old.

ooo storm!

Yeah, my back bumper is so scraped up, it's ridiculous. I mean, half of the damage is probably my fault, but Julia's right: that's sort of what I expect when I live and drive in Chicago.

jesse what's wrong with your flickr? It looks fine to me.

STORM'S A-BREWING

I HAXXORED THE WEATHER TOO

Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:56 (sixteen years ago) link

Fun! I could go for a big f'n storm.

KitCat, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:57 (sixteen years ago) link

What should I have for dinner?

Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:57 (sixteen years ago) link

sushi and champagne.

JuliaA, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:58 (sixteen years ago) link

It's pretty bad here, I can't see across Lake Cook through the driving rain.

No organ meat.

Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:01 (sixteen years ago) link

:(

ok, steak and baked potato.

kenan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:03 (sixteen years ago) link

Baked potato... yes. I like the sound of that. Thanks, Kenan.

Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:06 (sixteen years ago) link

you should put hot salt on that potato

La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:08 (sixteen years ago) link

my car is 10 years old and still looks pretty snazzy, but i guess that's what sitting in a garage while i live in london for 6 of those years will do for it.

colette, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:14 (sixteen years ago) link

i'm watching dawsons, and it's the episode where pacey is horrible at the prom which i remember being really sad and am wondering if i can even watch it.

colette, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:14 (sixteen years ago) link

do not hot salt your car
it will cause damages

La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:14 (sixteen years ago) link

so can anybody come out tonight or was that too short notice? jenny, i know you wanted to hang out again with the good doctor!

stingy, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:15 (sixteen years ago) link

What did Pacey do? I only really watched the first two seasons of that show religiously.

jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:17 (sixteen years ago) link

i have to work til 7 and then try to push a full dumpster back to its rightful spot (by the fence, not in the backyard) because some boneheaded neighbor of mine decided to move it so s/he could have more room for the SUV.

note: living in a condo with awful neighbors is like having horrible, negligent roommates who never ever move out. i can't say any more because of PENDING LITIGATION.

La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:18 (sixteen years ago) link

i keep forgetting to eat a proper meal today.

JuliaA, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:20 (sixteen years ago) link

If I were A, I would use my POS car to push the dumpster so it parks in the SUV. Then I would go have a beer. QED

dan m, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:21 (sixteen years ago) link

but then i would have to drive into the backyard
what i really want to do is make the people who moved it in the first place push it back, but they seem to think they didn't do anything wrong.

dawson's creek reminds me of living in wilmington.

one time pacey's giant dog tried to rape my cocker spaniel.

La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:23 (sixteen years ago) link

OTM!

Laurel, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:23 (sixteen years ago) link

Er, XP!

Junie disagrees, Laurel. :(

La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:23 (sixteen years ago) link

It was a cross-post to Dan. :( I lub Junie.

river wolf, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:26 (sixteen years ago) link

Or dump your garbage on/in the car!

dan m, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:26 (sixteen years ago) link

WITH THE DUMPSTER.

Stingy, it's a bit late, notice-wise, although it's true that I want to hang with the good doc again.

Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:27 (sixteen years ago) link

if i remember correctly, he basically picks a fight with joey and maybe even dumps her because he's flunking out and insecure. he may even try to hook up with another girl. all this while they are trapped on a boat.

this is why social events on moving boats are BAD.

colette, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:27 (sixteen years ago) link

i would block in the suv then fill said dumpster with several 80lb bags of sackcrete then take a garden hose to it. trying to get that thing to move after the concrete sets would be a sisyphusian endeavor.

chicago kevin, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:29 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, dumping the garbage in the spot would be a GREAT idea. Honestly, what I see happening is me going door-to-door asking for help push/pulling a giant, heavy dumpster back to its rightful home. And maybe taking pictures so people NEVER FORGET 9/25/07.

xp - He's insecure because his dog is an attempted rapist.

Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:34 (sixteen years ago) link

Wait, maybe I have seen that episode.

jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:35 (sixteen years ago) link

Thanks for the National link, dan. I have trouble following discussions about recording gear but the drum sound on that record is great, and those dudes have some sweet sweet guitars.

whoa -- stormin'

La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:44 (sixteen years ago) link

I love the drumming on that record. Dude plays uncomplicated but really interesting parts.

n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link

big storming!

that episode was pretty sad but not as bad as i remembered. still, i'm not going to go on parties on boats just in case, you know?

colette, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:46 (sixteen years ago) link

This video is funny because I think you see the drummer more than you see the singer.

n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:46 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh you better believe I was mentally recording how he played some of those parts while watching them the other night. He's got a pretty minimal kit (only one cymbal + hats) but gets a hell of a lot out of it.

dan m, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:47 (sixteen years ago) link

er, plus bass, 2 toms & snare

dan m, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:47 (sixteen years ago) link

Their singer is very uncharismatic.

n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:48 (sixteen years ago) link

but in general, I think a lot of the dark meaty sound came from the 1953 Neumann U-47 in front of the kit.

This is the boring answer to why good-sounding records recorded in awesome studios sound good

Jordan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:49 (sixteen years ago) link

Does anyone have a 1953 Neumann U-47 we can borrow?

KitCat, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:50 (sixteen years ago) link

would i like that band better if i played an instrument?
