Chicago: Become Familiar with its Distinctive Neighborhoods

Much obliged.

N & I were at Sam's last night getting vino for his pops.

Wine Discount is very good, very helpful, but only for wine their spirits selection is a bit limited.

I like Foremost because it's the closest place to my house that has harder to find Euro beers like Chouffe as well as a broad selection of micros.

(^the item on there today was my chanukah present from my dad, don't know when i'm going to use it.)

Ha Ha. Nick specifically asked me not to get him one of those.

I think my dad wants one, I'm not sure.

For all of you who do not look at men's magazines, they were pushing those alot this year.

(I was browsing through a bunch for ideas at Barnes&noble)

i can't wait to visit 1) ruins! and 2) cenotes!

there are lots of fancy whiskies at sam's that i drooled over the last time i was there. i still regret not buying a bottle in scotland last year. a full year later!

I wanna go to Mexico. Why the hell have I not been???

i dunno dood. it is not costing us all that much. i put aside $100/month and there we are. you should go!

Yuck, a tan.

A man, duh.

A man, a plan, a tan, a peninsula.

i love it when a tan comes together

new orleans trip next month should be > $400 in total.

(^does that mean "less than $400"? because that's what i mean).

No.

That's greater than. xp

The alligator's mouth eats the thing that is greater.

Also, the quick red fox jumps over the lazy brown god.

Natalus nine pippi peninsula tan.

hey chicago who wants to get drinks thursday nite?

kevin can you do thurs instead of tonight?

I would, Grady, but I've been sick all week and I have band practice tomorrow night, anyway. :/

I have a date with a Republican.

I'm going to Nick's work holiday party. (So is Nick.)

For the record, the Liars video for Plastic Casts is:
a) creepy as all hell and
b) NSFW

Okay, so, so far for Thursday it's 1) Kevin and 2) gr80!

Why are you keeping track?

kevin can you do thurs instead of tonight?

i don't know if i can answer that here without getting chaki's panties in a bunch. evan will probably be around and dan said he'd be down when it was gonna be tonight but since chilx used to have a standing "thirsty thursday" i don't think it would be an issue.

seriously, when did everyone here turn into a giant fucking bitch?

"birth" i guess would be the obvious answer.

What does Chaki have to do with it?

ftw, lemme know where you're going grady and i'll see you there tomorrow.

i've been a stone cold bitch since 1990, at least

i cannot go out tomorrow because i am not allowed to have any fun at all until my duties for the semester are completed. plus i think i have attended a grand total of 3 thirsty thursdays ever. no one expects me to show up. plus i have dance class.

Me too! Oh dance class.

actually i think the first time someone called me a bitch was in 1988.

I feel like I'm missing something...

I think it's possible that no one has ever called me a bitch.

it was a noise board thread.

to be fair kevin, you really do appear to drink often!

ok. i think deej and gbx are down too.

i'll webmail you my number.

whatever's cool with me

Oh. I just read that. I still don't get why Laurel is keeping track of who's meeting up with Grady tomorrow.

And since I'm still banned from the NB:

You know what horrible schlubby-guy sitcom I found on Ch. 50 the other night? I forget what it's called, but it's the one that has the dude from The Full Monty in it. I was marveling at his accent, which was not just American but schlubby Chicago guy.
