Chicago: robe or housecoat?

Man, I ain't going to argue about this either. But no, I don't think Laurel is part of a cabal. But she did say: "Jay, if I ever get ops I'll always unban you. Of course Jon already knows that, and once he figures it out he'll un-op for me eternity" -- and that says to me that there are a few dudes who rule that board, and "allow" others to post there.

And now I will post a picture of a robe like mine

xpost--yes, continue to lie. It is best.

Or, in my case, to permanent employers.

Oi for pete's sake, there is no "ruling" and no "allowing". I don't care enough to fight about most things by the unofficial rules of the arena ie the insulting and the making up jokes about each other and the other, like, boy-social stuff & pretend dick-waving, so if I wanted to out on a limb on the NB I would have to find my own ways to exercise status/credibility/whatever. So far when I have gotten honstly upset about anything there and spoken to other posters individually, adjustments have been made so that everyone stays cool with each other, which I appreciate! It just has its own weird conventions. AND I AM DONE. Sorry this is a huge XP.

amanda sounds sensible with her advice...

xp i hate dialup. amanda that dress sounds great. i am always in search of comfy loungey stuff to wear.

i put my phone through the laundry about a week ago, and want to get a new one under the warranty. The screen looks fine, text messaging still works, ditto the buttons, but voice calls only last 8 secs and the microphone doesn't work.

What should I tell the people at the Sprint store??? That it just stopped working?

xp no protection plan, just warranty.

There is a pH-strip thing in the phone that turns pink when there is water damage. Just hope they don't check that or don't care.

!!!!

i called her back & gave the whole story

What whole story? The truth?

i'm scum.

i hate lying. i'm never doing it again.

Hey, J.'s already documented his DJ-ing last night, but it's worth adding that Nick was a fantastic DJ, pushing the bpm up and up and filling up the 'dance floor'.

I need to stop putting 2 spaces after my periods.

I like eating vegetarian approximately 50% of the time. The other 50% I enjoy eating fish, chicken, beef, ham, pork bbq, blablabla.

True. There is also eggplant.

Roasted Skate Wing, braised leeks, arbequina olive pesto & tomato mustard sauce 13

Greengold Acres Chicken Breast, new potatoes, crisp skin and wild honey 15

This looks way less expensive than I thought it was.

Right, I don't think they serve red meat. I remember reading that.

xpost

Holy shit it's chicken and potatoes! I'm trying to imagine who orders this. Like if grandpa gets dragged along and starts bitching about "What kind of restaurant IS this? I wanted steak! I didn't fight in two wars to eat sprouts!" etc., you can say, "Look! Chicken and potatoes." And he'll order it and hopefully shut up about what kind of goddamn fruity place is this.

xpost not true

Gunthorpe Farm Chicken Breast roasted fingerling potatoes, crisp skin and wild honey 15.00

Kenan, what on earth are you talking about? What's wrong with ordering chicken? Are you saying it's too "common"?

I'm saying it's... chicken.

mmm. Ok, yeah. That I can see.

p.s.: it's taters.

But I just wanted to say that that is waaay cheaper than I expected.

Also, a pre-emptive FUCK YOU to all of you.

-J.

"I'm saying it's...chicken, ey?"

I love this phrase. And agree, for the most part.

I'm going to buy a motorcycle with a gun mounted on the front of it.

Also agreed.

A couple years ago, right after it opened, I ate at a place called Azia, on Nicollett near the Black Forest - so good. Weird combinations of curry and cranberries that actually worked well.

(I've said it too many times before, but pretty much my favorite critic of any type is Dara Moskowitz, who writes about food and wine for City Pages - and she writes the capsule reviews for their restaurant guide as well.)

and yes, that thai place is still in calhoun square. have you eaten at swadtee or whatever it is on hennepin? or galooney's pizza? both of those are close.

If City Pages music writers can move on to Spin and the Village Voice, there's no reason Dara M. won't make a big leap someday too.

The cliche about that generic flesh taste is not "tastes like beef." Chicken is pretty flavorless meat by itself, just some protein, not enough fat or dark meat or anything to make it really *delicious*. It's chicken. You have to deep fry it or (yeah) stuff it with goat cheese or something. If meat was bread, chicken would be crackers.

So many places to choose from, Kels!

xpost- Chicken is my favorite food, bar none.

--Maria's Cafe

--Lotus

--that Mexican place way out somewhere with the salsa bar and 13 kinds of meat

--that convenience store with the food counter that serves late-night gyros (maybe that was Ali Baba?)

--Falafel King

--Triple Rock

--Galactic Pizza even though I haven't actually had it yet

Yeah, I know that we're all supposed to feel really bad for anorexics. After all, they're just vulnerable innocents thumbing through Vogue, clicking past the Daily Burn, when suddenly corporate capitalism -- with its slimy strategies of exploiting never-fulfillable consumer desire -- forces them to starve themselves to incapacity or death. Now hear this: If you're going to kill or thoroughly disable yourself because your ass is bigger than Kate Moss's or your arms are flabbier than Naomi Campbell's, you are a moron no more deserving of social pity than snowmobilers who drive drunk into trees.

Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a woman’s lies makes a life like mine
O the day we met, I went astray
I started rolling down that lost highway

I was just a lad, nearly 22
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
And now I’m lost, too late to pray
Lord I take a cost, o the lost highway

On this road of sin are you sorrow bound
Take my advice or you’ll curse the day
You started rollin’ down that lost highway

People - I need a pity party. I got the bottom half of my deep cleaning and a cavity filled today and I'm totally numb and pitiful and I'm trying to eat an avocado bubble tea but I can't eat the tapioca because it's the same consistency as my numb tongue and I'm afraid of eating my own tongue and THEN when I think about that, I get really sick to my stomach and there's avocado shake running down my chin because I can't tell when that happens but THEN after I get over being a little ill I get really hungry because I had an early and small lunch and then the whole cycle repeats.

Jon, that's no good! Your boss needs to recognize.

You know something? There's nothing like going to the Home Depot to remind you HOW VERY VERY SINGLE YOU ARE. Happy. Domestic. COUPLES. Cheek. To. Jowl.

Also annoying at the HD--they made each intercom announcement 4 times back to back. "Ned to paint Ned to paint Ned to paint Ned to paint." Notice the lack of commas. That is apparently how the do things at the North Ave HD.

Bon matin, grande ville demi-Western.

Anyway, my name is Jon. I live on the W1cker Park/UK Village borderline (apparently it depends who you ask), but am still working out in the north burbs for an architecture firm. Let's see, I'm nowhere near as talented as some of the people in here - I can't sing or play an instrument to save my life. But I do what every other music lover who can't play does - I write about it. I review discs for Stat1c Mult1m3d1a and occasionally update my blog. And I like long walks, but not really on the beach. I don't know, I guess that's about it. Feel free to ask me anything else if you are for some reason inclined.

(Why do I feel like I just posted a personal ad?)

also, DO YOU?

also, Hi Jon

also, The Thing is a thing to keep my heavy kitchen window open. It is a dowel cut to 30", 15", and 5" and screwed together. It allows me to have 3 options of window openness.

Also, I beat and sodomize the cat with it.

I am on vacation tomorrow too!

Me three! Canada, here I come.

Meanwhile, today I will slog through work, play a YWCA fundraiser at Hothouse, and then pack for the trip, all on four hours of sleep.

So I sent Adam -- the high-school friend I haven't talked to in maybe seven years who found me on Myspace -- a message, and he responded, and it's like OMG gossip overload. I'm reeling. That's all we did in high school, and it's sort of awesome to pick back up with him like that.

No problem with it, but not for me - I'm too easily addicted to things.

Jon: I'm working through some sadness through carpentry. Also, I'm in this really annoying nesting phase that is beginning to be sad in the way it's sad when you see an old lady in a nursing home cradling a baby doll.

Oh! Funny thing: at the Home Depot I found the pine board in a scrap heap. I asked the guy to SKU and price it for me. He said, "Let's see...how does $2.01 sound?" Should I have haggled with him about the penny?

Congrats on the new job awesomeness.

Man, it's gorgeous out once again. I have the door propped open and the livin' is easy.

Yay, Amanda! (Ps: Did you watch ANTM last night??)

But I don't understand...do you not already work? Are you quitting your current job?

Me: "So, you've been getting to the gym a lot? That's great, I'm trying but I haven't been able to make it for the last couple weeks."

Him: "Haha, yes, it shows."

AND you're against cocaine? Now either you're a super-woman or thou doth protest too much, if you catch my drift....

Amanda, congratulations. Teach those nerds how to write!

Jesse, now that I know what that thing is, I am actually impressed and no longer sarcastically impressed.

Jon, hi. I'm Dan.

This morning though, the power tools got to come out and play.

would have used my orbital sander and circular saw

See, I don't even know what these things are.

Okay, maybe I have a vague understanding of a circular saw. It's a saw that's, like, in a circle, right?

It's a circular blade. It's just a common powersaw.

what's for lunch?

thanks Kenan, I was just going to post that pic right after this hate post.

Orbital sander.

And John? Hello, have you ever been to the Homo Depot on Halstead? It's packed with gay men buying power tools. And hello x2: Christopher Lowell?

Activists fear Circle Line to push past transit plans

By Virginia Groark
Tribune staff reporter
Published April 27, 2006

The Chicago Transit Authority's proposed Circle Line, an ambitious megaproject that would connect all CTA and Metra rail lines, is inching forward, but some community activists worry that its $1 billion price tag may sideline other long-proposed projects.

CTA President Frank Kruesi has called the Circle Line, which would cover six times the area of the Loop "L" system, the "single most important" transit project in the region. But watchdog groups are concerned that the plan, which was first made public four years ago, could take precedence over projects, such as the extension of the Red Line to 130th Street, in transit-poor communities.

The Chicago Area Transportation Study has recommended the Red Line project since the early 1970s, according to Kermit Wies, deputy for planning at the organization.

"It's a dismally underserved area that needs a transportation shot in the arm, and it keeps getting bypassed by other projects," said Michael Evans, associate director of Developing Communities Project, a community organizing group on the Far South Side.

CTA spokeswoman Noelle Gaffney said that's not the case. The CTA is in the process of hiring consultants to do studies on the Red Line extension and two other projects.

"We're moving ahead on all of them," she said. "They're all important."

Congress authorized the projects in a massive transportation bill that was passed last year. But those CTA proposals, along with three others, still must secure federal funds, a lengthy and fiercely competitive process.

CTA officials say they have not prioritized the five projects. But transit watchdogs point to the progress on the Circle Line alternatives analysis study as an indicator that it's at the top of the list.

The agency will hold three public hearings on the Circle Line next week, a required step in the alternative analysis study that began in 2004. Similar studies have not yet begun on the Red Line extension and two other projects: the extension of the Orange Line to Ford City shopping center and the Yellow Line to Old Orchard shopping center.

"Essentially what's happened is this great brainstorm child of the CTA has leapfrogged ahead of existing unfunded and unaddressed capital priorities to become the new megaproject goal," said Jacqueline Leavy, executive director of the Neighborhood Capital Budget Group, a civic watchdog organization.

But Gaffney said the CTA started the studies on the Circle Line and one other proposal before the others because they are more complicated projects.

"Not everything operates on a parallel track," she said.

If built, the Circle Line would cover a region bordered by Pershing Road on the south, Fullerton Parkway on the north, Western Avenue on the west and Lake Michigan on the east.

A preliminary plan outlined a three-phase project, the first of which was accomplished with the recent rehabilitation of the Paulina Connector, a 3/4-mile stretch of elevated track that runs parallel to, and just west of, Ashland Avenue. Though the connector had been used recently to reposition equipment, it will be used for passenger service in June when the Pink Line goes into service.

In the second phase, a 1.5-mile link of new elevated track would be built to connect the 54/Cermak branch of the Blue Line near Cermak and Ashland with the Orange Line's Ashland/Archer station.

The third phase would be a 3.35-mile link of new track that connects the Paulina Connector with the O'Hare Blue Line at Division and the Red Line at North/Clybourn. The existing elevated stretch of the Brown Line between the Sedgwick and Armitage stations would be rerouted to a new "super station" at North/Clybourn that also would serve the Red and Circle Lines.

CTA officials believe the plan would shorten travel times and improve connections. Riders could transfer to other lines and Metra routes without having to travel all the way into the Loop.

Evans believes the Circle Line will be built because it has political backing. But his group wants to make sure the Red Line project isn't ignored.

So the organization has been holding community meetings and this week traveled to Springfield to meet with legislators.

"The Circle Line's going to get done no matter how people feel about it," he said. "Let's face it. It's a showpiece. Sure it's going to make a difference. It's saying we are the best to the other cities.

"But servicing your people, the ones that are most displaced, that's saying we care about what's happening," he added. "That's the stance they should be taking right now."

Go circle line!

I love airports and airliners too.

"Count me as a transit nerd, too. Shit is vital.

Go circle line! "

I went there once to make a spare key. The amount of time I have spent in hardware stores in my entire lifetime probably adds up to no more than a few hours.

Who's Christopher Lowell?

i have to have a cable guy come out again because my tv is messed up and the fees are insane if the cause is anything but the wiring. argh.

I do believe I will be making another trip to the cafeteria today, for that institutional Sysco flavor that I crave so very much.

it's 50 just for him to come out, and then 35 for every half hour

For that, you should at least get some anal sex out of it.

I refuse to believe that this man is gay.

"For that, you should at least get some anal sex out of it."

I'm telling you, don't do it.

Also, what did you use to do that?

Will you put him outside, looking in?

2. JVC, this now means you have to come hang out with us in person soon. HAVE TO. It's part of the initiation.

3. I'm a transit nerd, too. I *heart* public transportation and think it's impossible to underestiminate its societal importance.

4. My final exam for Economic Justice is to pick a social ill discussed in class and analyze the efficacy of the remedies we discussed in class within a neoclassical, law and economic, and/or critical legal theory framework, reaching a conclusion as to the most effective solution. I think the social ill I will pick is: Capitalism. I also think that my most effective solution will be: burn it all down.

Jenny, "destroy capitalism" is your new "Christianity destroyed pagans" mission.

Ah, that animation is giving me a headache.

Basically I think that the social and economic injustice is too strong to be fixed with a red line extension. Or a circle line. So I'm going just with straight up city planning strategies.

hmm, i'd say the circle line would probably service more people than a red line extension. and it would service more people in more areas of the city. i'm not sure about the cta being cheaper/dingier than the rest of the lines. the green line was rehabbed 10 years ago, the red line north of the loop is in pretty groady shape too.

Also - thank you jeebus for the Fullterton/Bellmont station rehabs. I can't tell you how many times I've taken my life into my own hands to try to switch trains. It's deadly crowded at rush hour and there are all these insane obstacles and I've nearly been knocked down the steps or off the platform (and nearly done the same to others) in the rush to switch lines before doors close.

Jon - my real name is Jenny if you want to call me that, but you don't have to. Mondays were no good for me this month. I totally could have done it after classes ended. I'm basically going to treat my summer socializing as if I didn't have a job.

To recap:
-shelf
-chicken
-fixed screen so cat won't fall out (temp. measure until landlady installs new windows which are in the basement)
-spackled holes in walls
-organized under kitchen sink and in pantry
-reorganized foodstuffs
-J/O

jesse, i think i only noticed that because you share all of your shopping adventures with us. i don't usually mention stuff like that. if anyone cares, i bought a quality foundation garment the other day and guess what -- it roolz!

I think Kenan is the best candidate b/c Jeff has already done enough lifting in this apt., girls are week, John---well, John, come on, can you imagine? And the rest of you I don't know it that way.

Cocaine?

Ha ha. As I posted that I thought of that too!

No. I'll tell you all later when it arrives and I can see if it makes me happy.

xpost--Sunday afternoon? I'm going to Patrick's show that evening. You should come with me.

Got on the brown line and switched to red at Belmont. There were four or five African American kids on the train being a little rowdy but nowhere near as obnoxious as I've seen kids (or Cubs fans, for that matter) get. Like a 4.5 on a 1-10 scare of obnoxiousness, 1 being reading quietly and 10 being excreting waste publicly on the train. One had drum sticks and was getting on my nerves with them but not to the point that I would switch cars. Anyway, they got off at Addison and like ten seconds later, about 8 CPDs get on the train. One asks "Did you see anybody playing with himself on this train?" And I hadn't so I shook my head (still couldn't really talk) but behind me, a cop asked someone else the same question and she said, "Yeah, they just got off and ran downstairs" and I thought, OH SHIT one of those kids whipped it out on the train? No kidding! And someone next to the lady said, "No, those kids weren't playing with themselves" and she said, "Yeah, he was playing with drum sticks!" and the cop (who was near if not past retirement age) said, "NO! DID YOU SEE ANYBODY MASTURBATING ON THIS TRAIN???!??!?!?" and the lady was like, "Oh! No! No, he wasn't masturbating!"

And I laughed and then drooled on myself a little, because of COURSE the cops had to have been looking for the level 4.5 obnoxious black male pre-teens!! DUH!

So the cops all left the train and a CTA personnel said, "What are you guys doing up here? We got the report about the guy exposing himself at 35th almost a half hour ago! It's on the south side!"

And then I drooled some more. The end.

I'm wanting to ride around the area between the Kennedy, UK Village, Wicker Park and Ashland.

I just want to check out the neighborhood. Mine is better for the riding, but I kinda have this notion in my head of living somewhere else.... I can't believe I just said that aloud. Well, I guess I didn't.

from another thread. a german into degradation.

Just as I suspect r. crumb would do!

I might say dressing gown occasionally, but only as an affectation. In the US, a robe is what Arthur Dent wears, and a dressing gown is the glamourous article! I have a grubby flannel robe and an awesomely warm zip-up hooded fleece house coat AND I have a house dress that I could never wear to work although I used to wear housepants to my old job a lot.

Finally - I would like to talk about Amanda's quality foundation garment but not in a lurid way. I just need new bras and am wondering if I should branch out from my standard Body by Victoria purchases.

zpost yeah, but not for bras

Sometimes when I think of 'dressing gown' I think of Radiohead "Black Star" ("I get home from work and you're still standing in your dressing gown well what am I to do?") Even that seems sort of decadent and extravagent.

JUST KIDDING!

I do have a smattering of movies here on DVD. Should I watch:

?

Saw two movies this week - Thank You For Smoking and the Daniel Johnston doc. Both worth seeing. I should see more movies.

Fog of War if you want a snack, Boogie Nights if you want a meal.

Strike that, reverse it.

I watched The Sting on AMC last night. GAWD I love Robert Redford. Although as far as Redford/Newman vehicles, I just don't think Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid can be beat.

I really liked Fog of War. It wasn't so Errol Morris-y that I was annoyed and it almost made me feel sorry for Robert McNamara. Out of those other movies you want to fight about, Kenan, I've only seen Memento and Boogie Nights. I liked them both, but with the passage of time they have fallen from my list of favorite movies with nary a whimper.

I really liked Fog of War. It wasn't so Errol Morris-y that I was annoyed and it almost made me feel sorry for Robert McNamara.

See, it didn't make me feel sorry for him at all. It made me understand that our pity is the last thing he's going for. He's a very smart man who has done some very terrible things, and if he's not ready to apologize for all of them (perhaps just out of the fear of seeming disingenuous?), he's certainly ready to talk about them. Best movie of 2003, easy.

If it had been about McN's porn collection I may have liked it better.

But it very much was a people story. It just wasn't about an ordinary person. It was about one man who was very smart and very powerful and who was put into some very difficult positions and made some very bad decisions. How is that not a people story? The whole point of the movie is that it's people, flawed and struggling and sometimes bad and mean-spirited PEOPLE, who make all the world's biggest decisions.

Am I too old for this wallet? I am 33.

Thank you,
Jenny

You've certainly turned over a new leaf.

Am I too old for this wallet? I am 33.

As Beefheart says, as long as you can boogie, you ain't too old.

So I fired the little bitch.

and this differs from an ordinary kindergarten teacher how?

Why am I fucking around on the internet instead of reading about the rule against perpetuities???

OH YEAH BECAUSE IT'S BORING.

I just reclaimed my auxilary bike from the Loop mere moments before it returned to the earth. It's been sitting in front of the main branch of the library since October. It's on the rusty side.

I'm only one state away, Chicago! Also, my dad has an extra bike so I'm going to spin through some of my old haunts tomorrow. I am weirdly totally excited to re-experience country riding after learning to brave Flatbush Ave etc.

Jordan, while you're in New Orleans, look for the East Jordan manholes.

As for me, I'll keep my eye on Jordan's manhole.

Okay, you all have convinced me. I'm getting the wallet. As soon as they send me a replacement MF's card, since the whole reason I need a new wallet is that someone stole my old one. With my MF card in it.

Jerks.

Summer resolution: See more movies!
This sounds like a winter resolution to me, sister. ALL NEW Summer resolution: see more daylight AND nightlife, read zero law textbooks. Also lunch with La Lechera more frequently.

In the meantime, the rest of you ought to think about how you're celebrating May Day. Like pagans or Communists? OR BOTH? I'll be planting my garden, maybe marching for immigration reform if I have time to go downtown and then going to my final class meeting of the semester, which is my penultimate class EVAR. I will not be going to work.

good morning.

woohoo penultimate class! and belated congrats on the job, amanda.

what have you gotten for your garden?

Also, happy Friday.

i wanna go to the commedians of comedy at lsa tonight.

some dude on the bus spilled his coffee all over my pants this morning. i'm way beyond pissed.

Sarah/Nick: email me to get my phone number so I can come to HPK. I'll bring my roommate. It'll be a party.

It had new type of rear exit doors that had no handles, but instead had electric eye sensors.

xp ooooo ipod.

They had a special here http://www.cheapstingybargains.com/ the other day. I think it was 30 gig for $250 or something. New. I don't who had it or how.

That's not such a bargain. They're $299 at the Apple store. I mean, sure fifty bucks, but that's hardly "cheap" and "stingy."

I'm sure you're right. I have about 60 gigs of music on my external, and if I could get half that onto an iPod, I think that would suit me well enough. I'd have to switch out songs and playlists once a month, maybe.

Also, I only ever buy music from ShiTunes when it's ass o'clock and I want to hear a certain song. It's like playing it on the jukebox.

Otto, sorry about your pants. That's the pits.

And MF = marshall field, BUT I got paid today so I think I'll just go write a check because I want a new wallet RIGHT NOW!

Also? I am in my VERY LAST CLASS of the year, right now. Two weeks and I'll be in my final year of law school.

Phew.

Was it the nice new expensive coordinated-with-your briefcase wallet that was stolen? In that case, shouldn't you get another of the same?

This was the pleather zipper change purse wallet with the big Scandanavian flower on it.
