It is letting us know that we are all in this world together and we are not going anywhere.

That's actually kind of astute. You may have a Dangerous Minds situation on your hands here.

That's the thing about this dude. He's pretty smart, just cocky and very rude.

― La Lechera, Friday, 23 February 2007 23:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Compare that to "The boys are impress to see the ugly ball."

HI. I'm late, sorry about that. I was over in the sandbox still, pooping out of my mouth.

You'll get used to it.

Hi guys. It appears that I can log in from home.

Thank you very much, peeps who came out and sat through Logan's Run. It was a good birthday.

― dan m, Saturday, 24 February 2007 08:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks for an interesting b-day! We should do that again.

I went to Lalo's wwhich is apparently a big fat Latino club, primarily, and NOT mostly a tapas place. I got a ride home.

― Jesse, Saturday, 24 February 2007 17:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey Dan -- sorry I didn't make it. I got home last night and felt like, after two nights of lots of drinking, I should just stay in. So Kr and I ordered sushi and played Upwords.

― jaymc, Saturday, 24 February 2007 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Logan's Run is so bad! I loved it. I had fun at your birthday, too, Dan. For some reason I expected your roommate to be nerdier or something. He's pretty smooth for somebody who plays a lot of Animal Crossing.

I was at the Lake Red Line station tonight at around 11 when a black guy barrelled down the stairs and rain into a crowd of people, yelling "Fuck you fucking white people" and other suggestions. Another guy who seemed to know him was chasing him around trying to control him, but he was having was not to be deterred from reminding whitey that this is Black History Month and they should be made to ride in the back of the train. He ran into a group of people standing near the edge of the platform and almost knocked some of them over the edge.

A CTA security person told him to leave, but he just yelled "Fuck you too, you fucking bitch! Fuck you, your mama's white!" (She was black.) He topped off his performance by getting on the escalator, riding it about a quarter of the way up, then falling down to the bottom.

Freezing rain + Chicago style wind = uh-oh.

Shit.

Do not not watch this.

John, when you were talking about the Watts Riots, I was thinking of the MOVE bombing in Philadelphia, although Philadelphia did have a big old race riot in 1964, the year before Watts.

― Jenny, Sunday, 25 February 2007 08:20 (seventeen years ago) link

No more weather talk. please.

R.I.P. D@n|el_M@rt|n's_iPod: 5/2004-2/2007

― dan m, Sunday, 25 February 2007 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

What happened?

― Jeff, Sunday, 25 February 2007 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Old age? I'm not sure. I can't get it to mount, when it does I can only work with it for a short while and then I get the beachball of doom. I managed to get it to "Restore" to the factory settings (wiped all my music and files) and still can't get it to work. My roomie has had 2 of them and says it's the same behavior that happened when his died. So, now I guess I have some decisions to make. If this really is the end, I'm kind of surprised it lasted as long as it did.

― dan m, Sunday, 25 February 2007 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

My 3 year old iPod just died too, and so did Justin's!!!!!

What I posted on my blog about this morning:

Holy shit, it's like Mad Max: Beyond Snowglobe out there. I stayed at a friend's house downtown last night and within a two block radius this morning I saw a woman cross-country skiing through the streets, people grilling out in the snow, and a dude in a Mexican wrestling mask driving some half-snowmobile/half-car contraption through the streets wielding a shovel. I seriously expected to see some half-Yet motherfuckers who've already adapted to our new environmental conditions.

The rattling and creaking trees are the most worrisome for me. Greensboro's big ice storm of a few years back resulted in several deaths and more injuries. A girl I knew got a half a tree inside of her bathroom via the roof.

The other thing is the fact that it snowed first, then it rained, so the rain had nowhere to drain, so now there are ponds everywhere, especially at curbs where you have to either plunge your foot in or make a dangerous leap into the slipperiness.

xpost - My mom, dad, and brother lived in LA during the Watts riots. My dad was in the awning business and got out of work early when they started.

― Jesse, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't get it to mount, when it does I can only work with it for a short while

Sounds like my prom night.

― jaymc, Sunday, 25 February 2007 20:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I wish you could all come to my house today and be cooked for, I am in super productive happy making-things mode after yesterday's cleaning & organizing spazz. What a great weekend.

― Laurel, Sunday, 25 February 2007 20:29 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG JORDAN WE'RE LIKE SISTERS!

In other news (good thing it was my birthday Friday): 8GB Nano get!

It may have a smaller capacity but there's no moving parts, the battery *supposedly* lasts 24 hours, it's so, so much smaller... I'm filling it up right now. I hope this will help me keep from getting stagnated listening to the same things over and over again, because I'll be forced to swap stuff out more often by the small hard drive.

― dan m, Sunday, 25 February 2007 20:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Uh oh I've had my ipod for 3 years and two months.

― n/a, Sunday, 25 February 2007 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, I finally finished reading "Against the Day," after spending about a month and a half with it. In celebration, I went to the library and checked out new stuff to read - pure nonfiction this time.

― n/a, Sunday, 25 February 2007 22:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Plz to recommend books?

― dan m, Sunday, 25 February 2007 22:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Also I figured out why I couldn't log in from work: because I am dumb. I had saved the server-generated password in Firefox and not my regular password.

― dan m, Sunday, 25 February 2007 22:26 (seventeen years ago) link

am i logged in?

― chicago kevin, Sunday, 25 February 2007 23:23 (seventeen years ago) link

i guess so.

― chicago kevin, Sunday, 25 February 2007 23:23 (seventeen years ago) link

YAY KEVIN!

― Jenny, Monday, 26 February 2007 01:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan - what do you feel like reading? The book I just started is called "The Colony" and it's the history of the leper colony in Hawaii. It's pretty f'ed up.

― n/a, Monday, 26 February 2007 01:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll read anything, I guess. Just been kind of out of the loop with newer books lately. The one you mentioned sounds pretty interesting.

― dan m, Monday, 26 February 2007 01:52 (seventeen years ago) link

If you haven't already, read Lolita.

― Jesse, Monday, 26 February 2007 04:43 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, so date boy calls a LOT. He called me at midnight on Dan's B-day, then twice the next day, then a text message, all of which I missed b/c I was at work.

― Jesse, Monday, 26 February 2007 04:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Read non-fiction.

― Jeff, Monday, 26 February 2007 05:14 (seventeen years ago) link

How is that helpful?

― Jesse, Monday, 26 February 2007 05:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I've actually been on kind of a non-fiction kick for a little while, what with the Iraq Study Group Report and the Motorcycle Diaries.

― dan m, Monday, 26 February 2007 05:59 (seventeen years ago) link

YAY KEVIN!

TEST bbcode

― Jesse, Monday, 26 February 2007 13:42 (seventeen years ago) link

1. Why won't it make the URL a link automatically?

Also, the 2nd line is the result of using Firefox's BBCode extension (hilighting text, right clicking, choosing Clipboard, then Make Selection URL).

The 3rd line is the result typing [ link Test BBCode] URL [ / link ].

Is there more than one standard of BBCode?

― Jesse, Monday, 26 February 2007 13:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Even though it looks like BBCode, this isn't actually BBCode.

― jaymc, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I asked that same question, Jesse and yeah. It's not standard BBCode. So the extension will still work for bold, italics, and

Blockquotes

but not for images or links.

Has anyone else ever had a Chicago Card that just stopped working? Mine has, apparently. The station attendent told me "it's bent, you're not supposed to bend them" which is hilarious, cause as I'm sure you all know, my FAVORITE PASTIME is sitting around, bending my Chicago Card!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

― dan m, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Mine stopped, but not because of any physical damage, but because the CTA has gone worthless.

― Jesse, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Last night my work hosted a pre-Oscars dinner party and auction to benefit autism. They were auctioning off 5 mink stoles (not pelts, but knitted mink fur) and couple won one for $500 for their daughter who was no older than 9. HUH.

― Jesse, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Mornin guys.

I'm actually pretty ok with the Oscar results. Marty seemed positively thrilled. And I think America should do what it has to do to keep Scorsese happy. That is my patriotic sentiment of the week.

Thumbs down to: Eddie Murphy getting robbed, Little Miss Sunshine winning Original Screenplay. The movie was pure artificial buzz. There was nothing award-worthy about it at all. THAT OSCAR WAS PURCHASED.

― kenan, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan: Yes! I've had one stop working and Jeff has had two just stop working. And it's not because you bend them; that attendant is a dimwit. None of the cards that have gone tits up on us were ever bent. Do you have your account set for the unlimited monthly rides? My theory is that when you've got an unlimited number of rides, CTA Central Chicago Card Services randomly deactivates the card so you have to pay for individual rides on top of your monthly fee. And then you have to pay the $5 replacement card fee. I say this because I change my Chicago Card to a per-ride charge during the school year because of my U-Pass and it's never just not worked in the same way as the unlimited cards have not worked. Also I think the CTA is run by crooks and extortionists. Aaaaand I'm paranoid. And cynical.

Eddie Murphy should have thought about his Oscar nomination before he made that abominable Norbert movie. Karmically, I think that worked out just right.
