cele....grating?
I think an annoying party is a celegration.

delilah's is out of my price range. i may be in uptown tonight if anyone is near the red line. or the ashland bus. or the irving park bus, or the clark bus, or the sheridan bus...

tonight: STNNNG v. Melvins v. staying at home like a responsible adult

delilah's = awesome punk rock bar and maybe the best selection of bourbon in the city.

that's because we have a large number of regular posters without jobs. and those with gainful employment aren't really fanatics about it.

Eastern Promises is good, if you like Russian accents and Viggo Mortensen's balls.

Oh man. The Office. Great. They managed to cram all the funny in 1 hour without all the stupid serious relationship stuff.

We are having band practice tonight but would anyone want to do anything after? Maybe go to Danny's?

The Office was so great last night. I think my favorite parts were the visual gags - Angela body checking Dwight into the copier and Andy walking out of the bathroom after preparing for the nipple chafing.

I want to go to Danny's! I've only been once and that was a while ago.
― KitCat, Friday, 28 September 2007 13:23 (sixteen years ago) link
I enjoyed the Office but thought it seemed a little off from the last couple of seasons. All the characters seemed ... dumber? But I still laughed.

"This is the face of rabies."
Yeah, it was pretty great.

And Pam and Jim were always cute, but holding hands? Dangerous levels of cute.
I think my favorite was Michael's long drawn-out description of the various animal gods they might have to make sacrifices to. Such a weird scene.
"The head of a monkey ... but with ... the antlers of a reindeer ... and the body of ... the body of ... a porcupine."
Also: nipple-chafing jokes.

Also, the MCA is doing a ton of free shit over the next 40 days for their 40th anniversary. Sarah and I might go tomorrow to actually check out the art, but also Oct. 7 is a free concert with Flosstradamus, Cool Kids, Califone, Poster Children, the 1900s, the Eternals, and Headache City.

I post a ton of actually useful information and this is the thanks I get.
I'm going to sit in here in the dark by myself.
dude... it's time. I know some people don't care how long it is, but thanks to the standard 50/50 post split, not everyone can keep up, and loading 3500 ro so messages gets to be a pain.
