Chicago MMXII

Actually I own all these games.

Except Call of Cthulhu.

What kind of game is it?

hyper-nerdy board game where you collaborate with co-players to try to figure out deep dark mysteries and avoid going insane or dying in various ways

also it's very hard to actually "win"

and, as the name suggests, it is set within the Lovecraftian world

That sounds really good.

it's fun but it can be really goddamn frustrating to play for 2-3 hours and then BOOM Cthulhu rises and everyone loses their mind with fear and it's over

sounds like my prom night

hey they're letting us out at 4:30 due to weather

biking to/from work was... challenging

oh no
poor tanuki!

people are such roadhog bastards on the roads you take too

xp So I saw.

Where do you work now?

Did anyone else get that plowtracker to load?

Since I had my meeting out in the middle of nowhere this morning I have to drive home tonight. Trying to decide if I should leave soon or wait until the rush of everyone leaving early passes.

I got it to load on my desktop but it took awhile.

Same for me

lech: they weren't too bad, though i did get yelled at by some dude crossing the street. i couldn't understand him and wasn't overly interested to hear exactly what he said tbh.

jenny: halsted/division-ish

i would be up for borad games if it ever comes to pass

I meant where as in what do you do/who is your employer.

ah, sorry — it's a sort-of fundraising call center for orchestras/ballets/theaters

yeah, I've seen some pictures on fb from friends in Homer and the surrounding areas, lots of snow

The CTA bus system is absolutely worthless. Standing at the stop for the 97 near my house and nearly empty bus drives right past me. Apparently standing directly under a bus stop sign and waving both arms as the bus passes is code for, "no thanks, I'm good, just standing out here for the hell of it, please go on".

The sample size you're relying on is too small to reach the conclusion that the CTA bus system is worthless. But I totally feel b/c that happened to me once and it gave me the steaming, eye-bleeding rage.

Ha, yeah. I turn into Yosemite Sam and start cursing incoherently and jumping up and down and launching myself into the air by shooting my guns at the ground.

hahahaha
oh jenny that would be hilarious

Oh yeah, I'm not at all serious that the entire system is worthless, but I was trying to let off steam without relying on the many four-letter words I wanted to shout. Just super annoying.

phillip ordered a cab this morning to get to work and it took the company 45 minutes to finally call him... to tell him that there would be a delay

Get the fuck out, you're eating at GT Fish & Oyster?

Affirmative.

Am I a foodie now?

Dammit.

Oh wow, I never noticed the initials of GT Fish & Oyster before.

Dinner at GTFO tonight and them video games/couch/tv until Tuesday.

Mostly this, unless I feel better. If so I will leave the house and hang out with S/a and WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE?

Hey guess what? I went to the fancy Walgreen's on State St. It's kind of too much ~dazzle~ for a drug store but they don't lock up their deodorant so I will shop there.

Oh wow, I never noticed the initials of GT Fish & Oyster before.

I only noticed it when we went a couple weeks ago.

Hey, so my boss - the one you never hear about b/c he's sane, capable of using MS Office, and not a freak - is running for judge in Cook County. He is a very competent, smart, efficient, and ethical lawyer, and I think his politics are agreeable. I will be voting for him. Check him out http://cleary for judge.com/ (remove spaces, obv.).

Shit. It's going to get monster cold tonight.

tonight: relaxing/recovering
tomorrow: work/NUMERO GRP DANCE PARTYEE -- who's in? clearly you guys have nothing else to do...
sunday: recovering/relaxing

I love you and I love your energy and enthusiasm but unless I can get that 3-11 flex time shift I keep asking for or start doing coke again, the odds of me ever going to a midnight dance party are slim.

That party train left the station c 2003.

once in a while i can handle it
not all the time!

i have learned that i can survive on much less sleep than i thought i needed
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH deal with it world
