Attention: The dumb ass who decided to start DST 3 weeks earlier. Fuck you. You are causing a whole lot of pain for some IT departments. I'll see you in hell!

Jesse -- stop that. I can't be the only one who doesn't know what the FUCK you're talking about.

I just discovered that whoever tagged my copy of "Midnight Train to Georgia" put a grocers' apostrophe in it. "Glady's Knight and the Pips." Who has an apostrophe in their name?

Our education system is doomed. DOOMED.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 03:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I mean, I can understand if you think that some words need an apostrophe to make them plural, as in "tomato's" or "potato's". Because the "es" ending is counterintuitive, and in some cases, even optional. (Hence the name grocers' apostrophe.) But to think that all letters "s" require an apostrophe? To put an apostrophe in "Gladys"? I hope that dude's mother was names Gladys and beat him for that.

Kenan, the kitty/triangle post was copied from the "kitties are human" thread. I think it's hilariou's as a non-sequitir.

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 03:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Triangles don't kill birds! I hate triangles!

I mean seriously, does this make anyone else LOL besides me?

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 03:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Ken'n.

― Eazy, Saturday, 10 March 2007 03:59 (seventeen years ago) link

FUCK YOU, FUCKING TRIANGLES!

that is way better looking than that cat. whatever that is, it just needs to be heated and stirred with a large wooden spoon, and it will be a delicious sauce. "Blood Milk Sauce," we'll call it. It will be a huge hit among people who don't know what they're eating.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 05:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Google searches for "blood milk sauce" turn up nothing; searches for "blood + milk" turn up only the worst sort of vegetarian horror stories; and searches for "blood + milk + sauce" turn up Iceland. We need to find to a successful synthesis of blood and milk, because I cannot believe the has never been one. I bet it was dairy-blood-licious.

I think 300 made me gay. For men.

― Jordan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 05:41 (seventeen years ago) link

as opposed to...

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 05:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Seriously, I've never seen more hairless washboard abs in a movie. It's a total manpile.

― Jordan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 05:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I TOLD YOU.

Actually, you told yourself. WHY?

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 05:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Because tonight I asked out the furniture girl who I had a crush on and she has a boyfriend, so I figured gay, why not?

― Jordan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 05:52 (seventeen years ago) link

:( :(

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 05:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Nah it's cool, I'm just glad I did it so I can stop thinking about it. And 300 really is a hilarious movie.

― Jordan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 05:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I think 300 made me gay. For men.

I'll be right over.

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 06:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi, it's 3:40 a.m.

― n/a, Saturday, 10 March 2007 09:38 (seventeen years ago) link

The visuals are ridiculous, but this is such a good song.

― Eazy, Saturday, 10 March 2007 10:21 (seventeen years ago) link

A discovery: next to most soul music, Ray Charles is heavy metal. I dl'd the "Best of Atlantic" CD last night, and shit is RAW. Forget that stupid movie, Ray Charles is for real.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 14:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I left my living room window open all night, and the floor is freezing, and it's maybe 50 in here what with the heater competing with the breeze all night, and I LOVE IT. It's sunny out and the high today is near 50 and I'm listening to Motown and the snow is all melted. SO EXCITED YOU GUYS.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 14:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Ooh... "Just My Imagination" by The Temptations. Everything is ok. Really.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 14:31 (seventeen years ago) link

You know who else likes open windows and sunshine? Kitties.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 14:34 (seventeen years ago) link

The lake front path is packed. You'd think these people have never seen 40 degrees and sunshine.

― Jeff, Saturday, 10 March 2007 16:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Just My Imagination is great. I've got Prince doing a live version somewhere that's pretty sweet too.

― Jordan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 16:25 (seventeen years ago) link

oh! ysi!

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 16:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I heard a dj on the radio this morning suggesting that people check out the lakefront path today because it's so nice out. I was like, "I know where I'm not going today."

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 16:31 (seventeen years ago) link

It's actually not that bad. Just a lot of puddles are causing some traffic jams.

― Jeff, Saturday, 10 March 2007 16:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I will, whenever I can convince this rickety computer to do it.

― Jordan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 16:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, are we still doing the CHILX All-Star Jam this weekend? Y/N?

― jaymc, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, a dumb, boring iTunes question: (forgive if I've already asked this...can't remember)

Why does my library not automatically update when I make changes to the folder where my music lives? For example, I added a new album to the iTunes Music folder, but I had to manually import it. Also, when I delete or move a file, iTunes does not know what happened.

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I shaved my head again.

It went like this: I went to Supercuts at 9:15, and it opens at 9. There were already three dudes in front of me. I waited for 45 minutes while women with appointments came in and were served immediately. I was like, "You can make an appointment at Supercuts? Rly?" I wasn't even the first one to walk out. I was third. I was one of a continuing sequence of people walking out.

Then I got home, looked in the mirror, and said to myself, "Self, you can't live with this hair anymore. You have had permanent bedhead and a nasty cowlick for coming on two months." And then I shaved my head. During the scissors part of the process, I nicked my ear, and if you've ever nicked your ear, you know that it NEVER stops bleeding. Well, never until a few minutes ago.

Anyway. I am bald again. Look for me on WDYLL.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm still up for allstar jam. I can either do today or tomorrow. I'll call dudes soon I guess.

― n/a, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Kenan, did you actually shave, or just shear closely?

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I didn't break out the razor, no, but I'm bald as hell all the same. I can get a sunburn on top of my head now.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan said last night that tomorrow might work better for him.

― jaymc, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, that's fine ... do we want to aim for around 1 or 2 p.m. tomorrow (Sun)? John, you may want to bring your keyboard if that's possible. We have the Farfisa at the space, which we can try to use if you want, but I thought it was out of tune. However, when I checked it against my guitar tuner it seemed to actually be in tune, so who knows?

Jordan! Thanks for finally getting the Field Music album to me, and it's actually the first album plus the EP they did after that. Which is exciting, because the EP has "You're Not Supposed To," which I've been watching the video for on iTunes and I'm kind of obsessed with.

― n/a, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link

It is so nice outside. I walked to Sunshine Cafe on Chicago and ate a spinach and feta omelette while reading Donald Barthelme. It was fun. But now I don't know what to do with myself.

John, did you end up seeing The Host last night? If so, was it worth seeing? Though it seems like a waste to go see a movie in this weather. Though no more of a waste than sitting around in front of the computer.

― n/a, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

OH BY THE WAY JEFF

I switched back to iTunes because while I like a lot of things about Winamp (esp. the fact that when you stop a song, it fades it out instead of just STOPPING dead) but it was not playing nice with my iPod (when trying to transfer music, it would send 1 song, then freeze up).

Believe me, I would have preferred to have said FU to iTunes forever, but it won this time.

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I can do tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to a play at 7 p.m., but that shouldn't keep us all from dropping acid.

Today is great acid weather.

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I still have some leftover 'shrooms in my freezer if anyone wants them. I grew them myself a few years ago and moved them from NC to here. (Funny story: J/J and I were tripping and the female J said, "You totally have to bring these along when we move to Chicago." So I did. Then when I mentioned it to her later, she had a heart attack. Not that funny, really.)

― Jesse, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

today IS great acid weather. TOTALLY OTM.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

YOU GUYS I DON'T DO DRUGS

― n/a, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

though I am kind of bored

― n/a, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Acid and bald. That would totally be my new username if I could pick.

― kenan, Saturday, 10 March 2007 17:59 (seventeen years ago) link

OK time to get off the computer and LIVE MY LIFE
