Yes. Yes she does.

Crossed with R0bin Russ0.

I was curious as to what I'd find at sarahandnick.com. I could have done better: http://www.sarahandnick.com/.

Man, she married into the Mephistopholes family, didn't she?

If you guys had stayed on the straight and narrow, you'd look like...

Of course, we probably wouldn't like you then. ;)

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 19:51 (seventeen years ago) link

parker posey looks a lot better when she isn't aping my hair style.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 19:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I want to have TT somewhere, but I need to buy some waterproof boots tomorrow afternoon.

Aside: where can I get some waterproof boots in this town??? The ones at REI in the burbs last night were all ugly and/or expensive as fuck.

The Boss Bar at, like, Clark and Hubbard makes for a good post-work drinks spot.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 19:54 (seventeen years ago) link

(I'm in for TT this week.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 19:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Like boot boots? Would the Army/Navy store on Lincoln have them?

I have to review a show near Lincoln/Fullerton at 7:30 tomorrow but may be able to TT beforehand.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 19:55 (seventeen years ago) link

If I'm to be empaneled, I'm definitely a TT no show. If not, I will probably stop by. Boss Bar works for me.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 19:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Nick got his boots at DSW.

― Queen Sarah Saturday (coco), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 19:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Like boot boots?

Yep. Something that will keep my feets dry and be relatively comfy. I might check that surplus store... it'll be like a return to the days when I rocked the army jacket covered with punk patches.

eddie bauer?

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 19:58 (seventeen years ago) link

The major fucking problem here is my feet are size 13 and there is very little to be had. I knew I should have ordered those N0rth F@ce ones from Zappos... shit!

Boss Bar

The North Face? Except they will be ten billion dollars and say "THE NORTH FACE" on them in giant, stupid letters.

xpost - a HA!

"The place is filled with negatives. Many of the bartenders are openly racist and rude to minority patrons (Im white). The regular bartenders tend to be stumbling drunk and obnoxious. The one high point was the bartender named Viola. A beautiful Polish girl who was as pleasant as she was gorgeous."

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:01 (seventeen years ago) link

a HA!

They were on sale! Under a hundred bucks!

"the real party is in the rear bar witch is located in the mens bathroom.try the foot long sausages."

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:03 (seventeen years ago) link

"Sweet. Complete dive. Stripper barmaids - not that that's a bad thing! Crappy interior, greasy food served. Combination of lowlifes, slumming suburbanies and city Chinaski types. In other words, a great bar, rub elbows with humanity here - or not, just hang with friends. Any bar that has a garage door that opens completely in the summer, and spews tables onto the sidewalk is a good thing in my book. A true original in a chain restaurant forest - it gets props for that alone. I only wish the drinks were correspondingly cheap, but it seems they are not - probably a nod to the downtown location."

i think i've been there. the garage door part brings it back.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:04 (seventeen years ago) link

The foot long sausages in the bathroom bring it back, admit it.

For some reason, I cannot type an apostrophe. It brings up the search field in Firefox...

And my arrow keys do not work...

WTF

Oh yeah, I forgot about that part. I've only been there once, but it was like $6 for a pint of Stella or something ridic.

that's every bathroom for me.

Now they work.

Are you on a Mac, Jenny? Mac Firefox fucks up for me all the time. Mostly it just stops accepting keyboard shortcut commands.

― daniel striped tiger (OutDatWay), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Nope. I'm at work on a Windows machine. It freaked me out a little because out of nowhere, Jeff's keyboard at home started turning the volume up when I press shift-home and turning it down for shift-end. Shift-up arrow opens the CD drawer and then closes it again.

We can't figure out what's causing it, but I'm a big time keyboard shortcut (Thanks, Apple) and MS Word user and it makes me fucking crazy.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyway, I was starting to think it was my aura that was fucking up every keyboard I use. That's how I meant to finish that little tale of woe.

I actually called to see if I could get them overnighted and the operator was all flirty and ended up giving me the shipping for free! She said I was a "good sport" for putting up with being on hold.

guess who's here

― deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm going to assume that's Ben Wallace, based on the 'fro and the Bulls logo. Jenny?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:28 (seventeen years ago) link

yes. bulls tix go on sale soon! and they still have the 10 dollar nosebleed seats.

― deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:30 (seventeen years ago) link

That's him all right.

Deej, you should let us know what days you get tickets for. I know Jeff is going to pick up nosebleed seats for a few games. We can go show our love for Mr. Wallace together.

Assuming you love him, that is.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:33 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm a fan, and the bulls chances haven't been this good in a minute. when i buy tickets i'll hit up the board.

― deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm back. Baton Rouge was kind of a let-down.

― I got confused, I killed a horse (unclejessjess), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 22:43 (seventeen years ago) link

But!!! It was so fucking nice to be in a town that didn't look like a hurricane had hit it.

I'm giving some serious consideration to buying jerky online. I buy it at the grocery store and it's expensive but not that great. It's $6 for 3.5 oz.

I want buffalo jerky I think. Buffalo = yum. (I would fuck up a buffalo burger about right now.)

You know, I never thought I would be the kind of dude who buys veggie burgers, but here we are.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 28 September 2006 00:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, I am a panelist. No TT for me. :(

They want a bio. I'm thinking maybe:

Jenny is a third year law student. She gets a real boner for worker justice. She is also very tired.

What do you think? Too self-aggrandizing?

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 28 September 2006 01:27 (seventeen years ago) link

This Sunday I'm going to run/walk in a 5K breast cancer Race for the Cure.

― I got confused, I killed a horse (unclejessjess), Thursday, 28 September 2006 02:56 (seventeen years ago) link

That seems out of character to me.

― I got confused, I killed a horse (unclejessjess), Thursday, 28 September 2006 02:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan, frozen veggie burgers? I've never met one that was really worth eating.

Jesse, which part is the out of character part, do you think?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 28 September 2006 03:18 (seventeen years ago) link

The part where I run in a charity event. Related: the part where I take part in a sporting activity. Especially one that involves the letter K preceded by a number.

― I got confused, I killed a horse (unclejessjess), Thursday, 28 September 2006 03:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I have been jogging for the past 2 weeks. Tonight I did 2 miles of running plus .5 or so of walking. A fair amount of the jogging was actually full force running.

Improvement!

Gmap-pedometer.com is awesome.

I have a neighbor who lives in one of the few ohter nice homes in the Irish Channel neighborhood. He has an iron fence containing 2 black dogs and a billy goat that lays on the porch a lot.

Pics coming soon.

nu-Jesse.

Once when I was a kid, I gave my mom a magnet wrapped in aluminum foil to look like a small candy as a Mother's Day present. I still feel incredibly guilty about this. I think I made it that morning.

I am going to see "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" tonight with my office. I never really listen to that show.
