I really wish I could just go to the Container Store tonight. I don't want to go drinking.
― Jesse, Monday, 17 September 2007 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link
You don't have to drink, y'know. Just get a soda.

she makes a fine point.

That's absurd.
― Jesse, Monday, 17 September 2007 21:14 (sixteen years ago) link
What I would do: eat a big meal, order a couple rounds of water before anything else, then go easy on the beer.
― kenan, Monday, 17 September 2007 21:15 (sixteen years ago) link
I am going to try really hard not to get drunk tonight at trivia (have to get up super early tomorrow, for one). I'm thinking a two beer limit.

goddamn slimy carrots
damn you to hell
― La Lechera, Monday, 17 September 2007 21:21 (sixteen years ago) link
i just bit into a carrot and it was totally mushy and gross on the inside
i ptouied it into the trash
― La Lechera, Monday, 17 September 2007 21:22 (sixteen years ago) link
I hate that, I hate it when that happens.
― dan m, Monday, 17 September 2007 21:22 (sixteen years ago) link
fucking gross carrots
Speaking of trivia, I'm having dinner with my mom tomorrow. Next week at the Globe instead?
― jaymc, Monday, 17 September 2007 21:22 (sixteen years ago) link
hm. weird. I was just informed that tomorrow I will be aiding with a PowerPoint presentation in front of 500 lawyers. Time to shine the ol' shoes and put on a tie. Seems like a last-minute thing to tell me, though.
― kenan, Monday, 17 September 2007 21:24 (sixteen years ago) link
Next week sounds fine for trivia.

It's not just the drinking, it's the going out. I don't wanna! I just wanna be home b/c I'm going to be working at the restaurant the next 3 nights and I REALLY want to go to the Cont Store.

perfect night outside at Ravinia nomnomnom

guys science is just the scientific method, really. so, when someone has something down to a "science," it's not because it's an organized system of knowledge, per se, it's because they have, through trial and error, come to some conclusions about the way things work.
― river wolf, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 02:11 (sixteen years ago) link
^^^^ okay that was insufferable.
i am bored at home.

HAH! You stopped me just before I posted something really snarky. :)

Dropping some science.
― dan m, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 02:16 (sixteen years ago) link
OK, Webster's disagrees, but that's cool.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 04:44 (sixteen years ago) link
What? Insufferable or not, that definition touches on most of those points except 5, and 3a-b are really close?
― dan m, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 05:10 (sixteen years ago) link
I made 7layerdip again tonight.
beans avocado + lime crema + taco powder diced black olives diced pickled jals diced roma tomatos quesadilla cheez <bake> cilantro + green onions
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm fatter

You guys didn't post much yesterday, I'm disappointed.
Dan, what scientific discipline would you go to grad school for?

In honor of new Les Savy Fav album day, their new video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_VGcXmTDFo
Video is kind of annoying but the song is really really good.
― n/a, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 12:19 (sixteen years ago) link
I am pumped. I held off on downloading the new album because I knew I would buy it.
It's a pretty good mosh.
― n/a, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 12:20 (sixteen years ago) link
I mean the song. I haven't bought the album yet. Maybe at lunch.
― n/a, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 12:38 (sixteen years ago) link
Downloading is great but there's something to be said for old-fashioned release date anticipation.
I really wish I had a decent record store out here I could hit up at lunch. The local Borders is horrible about stalking non Top 40 new releases. They have a decent selection, but it usually takes a couple weeks for them to get the indie-type new stuff.

I did two and a half years as a biology undergrad until I discovered partying and organic chemistry 2 kicked my ass. So that's an option, but my work has led to more interest in the physical sciences or lord help me, engineering. I think if I went back to school for science I might just get another B.S.
― dan m, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 13:00 (sixteen years ago) link

I get leak-date anticipation. It's really the same difference.
― kenan, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 13:05 (sixteen years ago) link

Can I answer, too?
In an alternate dimension where I come into a lot of money and don't have to work, environmental science.
― kenan, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 13:08 (sixteen years ago) link
Although that's a little like saying I want to study Everything. With a big "E".

Ecology was my "focus" when I was a bio major.
― dan m, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 13:10 (sixteen years ago) link
I wish I were scientific.
― n/a, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 13:13 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm interested in the general concept of science but have no aptitude at all for those kinds of things. I always did worst at biology and chemistry in school, was so glad when I could take physics instead because it was basically math and I used to be good at math.
― n/a, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 13:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Chemistry can break a man's spirit, it's true. Man him feel like a low-down dog. I think there's a Mississippi John Hurt song.
― kenan, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 13:17 (sixteen years ago) link
MAKE him feel
I am not awake.
Thinking about how poorly I did in AP Chemistry II my junior year of high school makes me want to cry and cry. I was totally lost in the class (would have helped if I'd had Chemistry I! way to go, me, moving around so much). I loved Physics. I hated Biology because we had to disect things (and because my teach spit on my desk constantly).

Jesse, Did you go to the C0ntainer St0re? I didn't do much organizing after all. We watched The Audition and drank some wine. I did manage to throw out a bunch of old envelopes that probably would have killed me a la Seinfeld.

I just meant that Webster's uses "down to a science" as an example of science defined as systemized knowledge rather than as the scientific method.

So is there a good way to approach someone about wearing too much perfume/cologne? Our new admin assistant wears so much perfume that every morning when she walks in my eyes start to water and my nose itches beyond belief.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 13:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Not really? At least she doesn't sit near you.
― KitCat, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 14:00 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, there isn't really a good way to go about this. Best would probably be to either leave a polite but anonymous note, or get one of the ladies in the office to take her aside. But those would probably still result in hurt feelings.
― n/a, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 14:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Try, "You smell like a cheap whore."
― kenan, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 14:03 (sixteen years ago) link
a polite but anonymous note IMHO, this is a horrible idea. :-D
