Season 3? I was just looking for a site where I could watch it. Only 1 and 2 are up on Netflix.
Also was looking for a place to watch Lost Highway without a lot of hassle or waiting, but no luck.
Cool 'ning tonight but the storm has been holding off for a long time.

This looks like a pretty big tstorm coming.

I was just sitting here looking out the window and thinking the same thing.

Hey Jordan -- sorry I didn't really say goodbye on Friday! We made it an early night. And then on Saturday afternoon we drove to Yellowstone Lake State Park (about 50 miles southwest), where we stayed for the night, so our time in Madison was abbreviated. The music sounded pretty good, though.

Yes, Jenny, that is very much to my liking! Will buy for vacay at the low low price of $2.99.

I had no clue it had even rained, much less stormed! Much less strongly enough to do damage.
― Je55e, Monday, 2 July 2012 01:46 (eleven years ago) link
it was weird yesterday, it got superdark and superintense and then it kinda sprinkled for like 5-10 minutes and the sun came back out

There were trees down in my neighborhood, including a big one on Ravenswood at Montrose. Until I heard that it had stormed, I assumed it was part of the weekend work on the Metra tracks.

no problem, nice to randomly run into you guys.

I'm open to ideas on the 4th (before late-night iO). If it's 99 degrees I might just squat in the Art Institute, the a bar. Have to check if Big Chicks is doing a bbq...
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Monday, 2 July 2012 20:01 (eleven years ago) link
Morbs, we have to do something on the 4th. Something.
― cue "White Rabbit" (kenan), Monday, 2 July 2012 20:35 (eleven years ago) link
And BBQ at Big Chicks would be excellent, actually.
how come none of us is having a bbq?
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 2 July 2012 20:36 (eleven years ago) link
is it because we suck?
It's because we're old and it's hot outside.
― cue "White Rabbit" (kenan), Monday, 2 July 2012 20:39 (eleven years ago) link
At least, that's my reason.
― cue "White Rabbit" (kenan), Monday, 2 July 2012 20:40 (eleven years ago) link
It's mostly the heat for me.
― carl agatha, Monday, 2 July 2012 20:43 (eleven years ago) link
I'm going to be in Minnesota
― DX Dx DX (dan m), Monday, 2 July 2012 20:47 (eleven years ago) link
I've got a deadline on some work (that I may need to block ILX to finish). Maybe a beer at Moody's garden or the Waterfront Cafe July 4th eve?
― Odd Spice (Eazy), Monday, 2 July 2012 20:48 (eleven years ago) link
I won't BBQ because I hate grilling.
― Jeff, Monday, 2 July 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link
I hate standing next to something that's 500 degrees when it's already 90 out. How about someone make some gazpacho instead?
― cue "White Rabbit" (kenan), Monday, 2 July 2012 20:55 (eleven years ago) link
Also, i wouldn't trust more than 4 people standing on our back deck.

I'm going to North Cack Wednesday morning.
― Je55e, Monday, 2 July 2012 21:06 (eleven years ago) link
I think for the first time ever, I'm going to find a spot and watch the lakefront fireworks. With my full bag of camera stuff in tow, of course.
― cue "White Rabbit" (kenan), Monday, 2 July 2012 21:16 (eleven years ago) link
i want to do something for the 4th but dunno what. don't think evie would appreciate fireworks yet. also it is going to be fucking hot.
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 2 July 2012 21:29 (eleven years ago) link
glad I packed my thong.
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Monday, 2 July 2012 21:32 (eleven years ago) link
I'm going to a pool party on the 4th.
Hey, does anyone have a renters' insurance plan that they would recommend? Kr and I are probably going to purchase a policy, but we haven't done any research yet.
― Never translate Dutch (jaymc), Monday, 2 July 2012 21:44 (eleven years ago) link
We have something from statefarm but I can't remember any of the specifics of it.
― Jeff, Monday, 2 July 2012 21:46 (eleven years ago) link
i think ours is through geico but sarah does all that stuff
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 2 July 2012 21:47 (eleven years ago) link
I am interested in hearing your answers re renter's insurance. I've gone way too long without and after the enormous leak in my bathroom ceiling during the tempest last summer, property loss became a realistic possibility for me.
― Je55e, Monday, 2 July 2012 22:04 (eleven years ago) link
I have a paper grocery bag full of Indiana fireworks plus a small box w/ others. We should have a pyro party sometime. Lincoln Park and Lakeview don't seem fireworks friendly.
― Je55e, Monday, 2 July 2012 22:05 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks, dudes. I will see what else I can find.
― Never translate Dutch (jaymc), Monday, 2 July 2012 22:23 (eleven years ago) link
We went with State Farm bc that's who I had car insurance through and we got a deal.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 3 July 2012 02:14 (eleven years ago) link
Or maybe it was just easier.
Or it was the subliminal effect of their friendly coffeeshop in your neighborhood!
― Odd Spice (Eazy), Tuesday, 3 July 2012 02:16 (eleven years ago) link
We had the renter's insurance long before their lovely cafe opened!
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 3 July 2012 02:18 (eleven years ago) link
That would have been some strongly precognitive subliminal influence.
― Je55e, Tuesday, 3 July 2012 02:21 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe State Farm opened the cafe because that's where we get our rental insurance. Did you ever think of that? Eh?
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 3 July 2012 02:23 (eleven years ago) link
I think that's the idea, to have these pleasant sensations come to mind, whether it's a funny Geico commercial or a nice coffeehouse.
xpost Hmm! They call it (CARL)'S NEIGHBORHOOD on their post-it notes at headquarters.

Man, 89 degrees at 10:30.
― Odd Spice (Eazy), Tuesday, 3 July 2012 03:36 (eleven years ago) link
;__; Yeh. 10:52 and still 89. Did a lot errands on foot. Very bad.

Midwest, I try to love u, but always this monstrous summer shit
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 3 July 2012 05:04 (eleven years ago) link
Worse than New York? I always had a notion that NYC had worse summers than us, but I don't know why.
Oh, and: currently 12:16 am and 85 degrees.
