Chicago MMXII

yeah that's kind of their thing. it's an east side treasure though. i love that they opened that bakery annex next door so that you don't have to wait in line to get scones.

nuthin happening in chicago

Eating a pickled egg.

Found a whole slew of eps of Archer Season 2 that I somehow never saw! Like finding $5 in a pocket the first time you wear your winter jacket.

Just watched the last of season 2 over the weekend. "Krieger-san, my cherry blossoms are wilting!"

aw, jenny, that story warmed my heart

Eating creamed corn.

Creamed corn is DELISH. I rediscover it like once a year or something.

xp - SPOILER!!

And now I'm eating a baked potato!

I seem to have finished eating. Little 3 oz. Cherry Garcia for dessert.

Pumpkin seeds.

I have almost no food in the apartment :(

:(

i don't have any plans for saturday...

dance!

hey
it's hot out!

I'm actually looking forward to my bike ride to class

reminds me of "It's nice out! I think I'll leave it out."

Yeah I wore too much jacket today, esp since the CTA has neglected to turn their heaters off yet.

Still medium coat weather for me. Just in case.

gonna go outside at lunch. take off my socks and shoes. take off my shirt. roll up my pantlets. put on my blu-blockers. drink a v-8.

think it might be milkshake weather

goddammit i don't want to be in the office today

You probably want to drink outside.

duh

Is that about M.I.A.?

Jesus. 60 degrees. I'm bored.

i like miles' hard work in profiling a ton of lesser-known, underappreciated bands in chicago (mine own included) but he's not great on the "big topics." haven't read that article yet though.

No? I think he's as good as anyone on "future of music" topics (the Internet, legal issues, etc.), at least as far as just laying out what the deal is.

i went outside at lunch and a (drunk/crazy/homeless/all of the above?) guy veered towards me and poked me in the shoulder while mumbling something incoherent. so i yelled at him.

what did you yell at him?

"hey - don't touch me. don't touch me!"
first time was startled, second time louder and more emphatic
i feel a little bad about it now since there was something obviously wrong with the guy, be it mental or chemical or whatever. but not too bad. i was also talking on the phone with sarah while it all went down. pretty exciting.

sorry, first thing I thought of

me too

Its gorgeous out, glad I had to walk around the UIC campus this afternoon.

Onion headline from a couple weeks ago:
"The Cartoon Network Celebrates Brak History Month"

this is awesome, especially the last owl pic

<3 snowy owls

Cool. The last one is great ;)

I'm partial to the first one, where he seems disturbed and indignant.

Good owl.

I posted this elsewhere a little while ago but it's pretty important so I'm posting it here too.

Just saw a guy and girl walking down Clark St. near Diversey. Guy had one arm over the girl's shoulder and the other in his jacket pocket, pulling it over his belly. As he went by I saw what he thought he was hiding. Proud bobbling tent led the way, plainly visible to everyone on his right side.

?

Boner?

Yes, boner. At literally a 90° angle.

I don't even know her! xp damn it

good thing you carry a protractor for such emergencies

That guy had clearly already bought his compass, so together they were ready for geometry class.

lol protractor

also totally unrelated I am 1. glad the anti-eavesdropping law that was used to make recording cops in public spaces illegal has been ruled unconstitutional and 2. amazed that the comments on the trib article on the subject are pretty much wholly in favor of the ruling -- fully expected some major insanity there

i feel like i need some kind of new, focused creative project but i don't know what it should be.

Sandwich artist.
