To quote that video, "Meep!"
Nick, the album as a whole is a little wearying, but I like a handful of tracks from it. Even though I'm no great fan of hardcore-style vocals, I have a lot of time for darting, interlocking guitar lines.

last night on the train home, a seat opened up directly in front of where i was sitting, and this woman who was standing maybe about 20 feet away saw that it was open and she started making her way over to the seat, saying multiple times in a mousy/anxious voice "...i-i-i wouldn't mind sitting down .... i wouldn't mind sitting down..." and it made me think of one of the kind of crazy/neurotic characters kristin wiig would play on SNL so then i was imagining her as this funny sketch character and i was cracking myself up so i had a big grin on my face, and the woman (who was now seated) turned and saw me grinning so she smiled at me.

I miss ddpp, too! Also, Matt and I got engaged over the holidays, and it's now slowly dawning on us that we have to plan a wedding.
― sisut, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 19:45 (twelve years ago) link
Congrats! Just don't view it as a chore! We had lots of fun planning for our wedding! Sure complications are inevitable, but acknowledging that going in and erasing all expectations of any sort of "perfect" wedding make it much more enjoyable. Think of the fun things - tasting free, delicious food! Picking out decorations! Music! Lots of exclamation points!

YAY KATIE! Congratulations!!! Third the "only plan the wedding you want to have" advice. You seem to have pretty laid back family so I think you'll be able to do this as simply or elaborately as you want without too much hassle, no?
Also, I see you two getting married in a forest in the UP and you wearing some kind of forest maiden medieval wedding dress.

I came here to tell you all that the Erotic Fiction Contest is happening again. If you missed Jesse reading an amazing story about the sexiness of Cheese Whiz, you might want to come this year to see what miracles happen. Feb. 12, 7:30, at the Whistler.
xp LOL

instead of rice or bird seed, the guests will fling the traditional homemade yogurt at them
then later matt will fling some yogurt of his own
xp - I want to read an awesome story!
― Je55e, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 19:59 (twelve years ago) link
Or like an Edwardian-style dress:

See, don't worry about planning your wedding because apparently I am going to plan it for you.

Okay, Jesse! I'll tell P that you want to read.
but i really want to read an AMAZING story!

Thanks, everyone, we're actually pretty excited.
Jenny--this is perfect! Just tell me when and where to show up. I'll be your bridal marionette. Also, it will be in the woods, and we do plan to break a ceremonial plate. There shall be no yogurt flinging. Or, maybe there will!
― sisut, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
we could get married at the erotic fiction contest!

We should cash in on the reality tv craze by having people vote on various components of the wedding. i envision the end result as a forest wedding/erotic fiction contest, with yogurt flinging, while wearing ewok outfits.
― sisut, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 20:24 (twelve years ago) link
i don't trust the people of america to have enough taste for this forest wedding/erotic fiction contestwith or without yogurt flinging
― La Lechera, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 20:25 (twelve years ago) link
you would wind up naked in the mall of america backed by a high school show choir
ie, the worst stress dream imaginable
― La Lechera, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
...ending with me emerging from a blackout, wandering your parents' cabin asking for someone, anyone to let me in their sleeping bag...while flinging yogurt.

Erotic literature aside, it's a bummer Paul McGee is leaving the Whistler. He has a great beard, and it will take a more than a few handlebar mustaches to make up for its loss.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 23:31 (twelve years ago) link
Fiction, not literature. Definitely just fiction.

Thanks Obama, what a bad day to have to drive for a meeting. I must have picked the exact wrong time to leave work tonight, took 55 minutes to get from 8th & Wabash to Balbo & LSD.

Courtney always knows when Obama's coming, and she often tells Jenny and me.

Numero Group dance party at the Hideout this Saturday nightWHO'S WITH ME?!
― La Lechera, Thursday, 12 January 2012 02:44 (twelve years ago) link
lol, when I was sitting in traffic I kept thinking about what Morbz would be saying
Without even really trying to bring politics into this, I do get annoyed when like any one person decides they can inconvenience so many people so they can, you know, go to dinner.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 12 January 2012 02:45 (twelve years ago) link
Numero Group dance party sounds pretty awesome indeed.
As I quoted him on FB, Stephen Fry OTM: "I loathe dancing. The people are all very sweet, but it's what they're gathered together to do that I find so ineffably, HORRIFICALLY repellent."
