this is OMG EVERYDAY IN MY OFFICE
it is hot and totally airless in there

Erotic literature aside, it's a bummer Paul McGee is leaving the Whistler. He has a great beard, and it will take a more than a few handlebar mustaches to make up for its loss.

Fiction, not literature. Definitely just fiction.

Thanks Obama, what a bad day to have to drive for a meeting. I must have picked the exact wrong time to leave work tonight, took 55 minutes to get from 8th & Wabash to Balbo & LSD.

Courtney always knows when Obama's coming, and she often tells Jenny and me.

Can't believe it's been 47 minutes since a mention of BHO and Dr Mudbutt hasn't swooped in w/ some non-sequitir criticism of Bam.

Numero Group dance party at the Hideout this Saturday night
WHO'S WITH ME?!

lol, when I was sitting in traffic I kept thinking about what Morbz would be saying

Without even really trying to bring politics into this, I do get annoyed when like any one person decides they can inconvenience so many people so they can, you know, go to dinner.

Numero Group dance party sounds pretty awesome indeed.

As I quoted him on FB, Stephen Fry OTM: "I loathe dancing. The people are all very sweet, but it's what they're gathered together to do that I find so ineffably, HORRIFICALLY repellent."

I waited for prez on wrightwood with like a hundred ppl. I got tired of waiting and left.

Oh you wouldn't find me dancing, I can't dance. But the thought of hearing Numero Group music while watching people having a blast? Yes, please.

What's he doing in town? Why would he be on Wrightwood?

Dunno. I did see Daly though.

Prob had dinner at weiner circle.

Oh, Clark and Wrightwood?

Glad it didn't f up the Halsted bus route. It's a few blocks away, but it's conceivable.

I had to wait over 30 minutes for a fucking bus home tonight, and I could see 5 of them on Bus Tracker, between 10 minutes and 20 minutes from my stop. I thought that might be due to BHO mucking up traffic.

And at one point all the buses got between 10 and 15 minutes from the stop and then stayed there.

Dancing is a sublime activity. If anyone out there in ilxville wants to go with me Sat. lemme know!!

It was some building just east of orchard.

Oh, this is what's happening.

obama is having a 30k plate fundraiser 100 ft down the street from my boyfriend's building tonight, which dr. morbius nickname for bam should i use when i derisively heckle the attendees?

Glad I didn't have to resort to Google or something.

xp I feel like I'll never have the lung capacity to dance again. As I mentioned on twitter, however, I do have leftover hydrocondone so I'm going to sleep soundly and (relatively) coughlessly tonight.

peace be with you tonight

And also with you.

Ddpp was all hip hop tonight. Variable results but I had fun. Jenny you will dance again. You shall DANCE AGAIN.

Oh, Obama DID fuck up my commute!

At a UIC event, up to 500 donors who paid from $44 to $100 were treated to music from recording artist Janelle Monae and a guest appearance by actor Hill Harper from CSI: NY before Obama hit the stage to loud applause.

FUCK YOU BARACK HUSEIN OBAMA

FUCK YOU IN TEH FUCKAGN EXECUHOLE

Cheap tickets, though!

I was not inconvenienced by President Obama's visit to Chicago.

The South Loop was all kinds of fucked up, I've really never seen anything like it. The entire area around my office was gridlocked in literally every direction because no one knew for sure where to go and there was no direction. Even the alley by our parking garage was bumper-to-bumper with people trying to escape. Jealous of people getting to see Janelle Monae though.

Yeah, BHO's visit bothered me 0.

I wouldn't have been bothered at all if I hadn't needed to drive to the office today.

hmm apparently it was a good thing I worked really late tonight or else bho's visit (which I didn't find out about until like half an hour ago) would have destroyed my life

I figure my ease tonight was karmic payback for the week-long bus reroute shitshow I and many others endured due to his election night victory party set-up.

Headline and story changed "drunk" to "confused."

Holy cats I slept better last night than I have in weeks. I am seriously looking forward to taking it again tonight. More sleeeeeep!!!!

Professional development day -- the day you thank yourself for having the sense to get a smartphone.

Snow is coming!

This is looking like a red letter day for everyone itt so far.

If I shake this cold, I'm up for Numero Group dance party - I love giving those guys money (listening to the Syl Johnson box now - so dang good). I'll bring my girlfriend. She's a Loyola english prof., so some of you ivory tower types may have some sort of notes to compare when not dancin'...

Ooh, that sounds great. I may be up for going.

We might be up for that, too -- Kr has been talking lately about wanting to go to Danny's.

-snoooooow

-hey guys

-hey n/a, thanks for the heads up on 'terriers' being available for streaming now. although sarah and i watched the pilot last night and it was just ok - does it get a lot better? i think i liked it more than she did, but i'm predisposed toward detective shit and have lower standards.

hey, where u been?
terriers stays pretty consistent so if you didn't like the first ep the rest probably won't suddenly change your mind but there is an overarching plot that develops and gets more complex. it's not like a blow you away amazing kinda show, it's more like a fun, comfortable, charming show.

we're only about 5 episodes in btw

xp that reminds me of this blog post someone forwarded to me re: Danny's, wondered if any of you had seen it (after googling I discovered it made it onto Chicagoist etc)

do you guys realize that dance night doesn't even START until MIDNIGHT!?!
are you all INSANE!?!?

If I shake this cold, I'm up for Numero Group dance party - I love giving those guys money (listening to the Syl Johnson box now - so dang good).

Might I recommend hydrocodone.
