Oh awesome!

Btw, last night I was listening to the massive 1997 playlist that I just made, and Kr asked, "Is this the FFs?" It was Bis.

ha ha

i know i had a bis album at one point but i was never a huge fan

I never had any Bis albums, but I had a couple of friends in college who were into them.

Bis were very popular at my college radio station but I can't remember what they sound like.

Wow, ten years.

10 years since IF founding, we were mainly playing there around '05-'06ish i think (which is still a long time ago)

I know! We only got here eight years ago (well, eight years ago as of Aug. 8), but it just doesn't seem like it's been that long.

Hey, 8 years on 8/8! We should do something celebratory.

Seperately

??

oh nm

Did we arrive on 8/8? I thought we landed in town on 8/9.

I got here in August 2002. Whoa.

Also D and I went on our first date 13 years ago this month. That was my last first date!

now you guys have me thinking about this is and I moved to Chicago about four years ago, on August 6th or 7th I think. wtf.

you could've gone to high school or college all over again!

10/9/2004 never forget

Time is so strange. I was talking to my 16 year old niece when I was in Cape Cod and I started thinking that things that I perceive as being relatively recent happened when she was like six years old.

We were also talking about the Beastie Boys and I realized i stopped caring about them before she was born.

This year also marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of both C@n@st@ and T@ngerin3 Arts Gr0up.

Did we arrive on 8/8? I thought we landed in town on 8/9.

I can never remember which was leaving day and which was arriving day but I like 8/8 bc of the NOFX song so I say we officially adopt it. Besides if we left on 8/8 it's not like there was any going back at that point.

you were in limbo between

But I want to know the date we actually arrived.

It bothers me when there are dates I can't verify. Since late 2004, most events of any significance in my life have been documented by emails, and then by ILX and FB. But I cant find emails about the move date.

I so wish I could find my email accounts from 1997-2004.

Surely Jeff has detailed logs of the move.

Sadly I do not.

I used to keep very detailed journals, and ive resumed doing them, but I forget so much and I wish that everything I did was recorded automatically. Hopefully Obama will work on that in his 2nd term.

Like when I read those stories last year about IPHONE IS LOGGING YOUR EVERY MOVE!!! My first reaction was omg that's awesome!

Since late 2004, most events of any significance in my life have been documented by emails, and then by ILX and FB.

This is basically why I became lax about updating my spreadsheet of every movie I've seen. I'll go months without logging anything b/c I can usually put it together later with a combination of e-mail, ILX, and my Netflix account info.

I so wish I could find my email accounts from 1997-2004.

I think about this sometimes, too. After I switched from Hotmail to Gmail in 2004, I was trying to archive or import all my old e-mail, and I accidentally deleted it instead. :/

I have no email pre gmail.

but I forget so much

Last Saturday you remembered that I was excited to get sandwiches at Carolina Deli in the summer of 2004, and you remembered thinking that you didn't like sandwiches as much as I did. I think you remember plenty.

Siri will probably help me record my life.

Xp but I want to make my whole life searchable. I can't tell you how often I've wanted to Ctrl+F an event. Tom_s and I were JUST wishing we could replay a certain event to figure out what happened.

I only have a handful of emails from 2004 and 2005. For some reason, I deleted a lot of them back then. Now I regret that.

It was a younger dumber me.

So long Chicago, iatee and his cronies win. Attributing fake quotes about me advocating a race war is the final straw. I'm outta this fucking haven for bullies and assholes. Some of you know how to find me on FB or Twitter. Peace.

no war but class war imo

Boo. I'm sorry, jvc. I hope the break is helpful.

Ugh, sorry dude. I've been getting worse feelings from ILX for a while now and I've been limiting participation mostly to ChILX and some 77 threads. I'll be sure to give you a heads-up about pub quiz next time b/c it'd be cool to meet you and plan that race war.

:( bye jon
it's been fun, see you around maybe?

i don't know how to find jon on twitter. i guess it's too late now.

eeeeeeeearrrrly friiiiiiiiiiiiiiday! kinda ridiculous to come in for 3 hours of work but i'm not complaining.

I know how to find jon on twitter.

...she said ominously.

i'm halfway through my work day!

i'm feeling surprisingly good considering we forgot to replace our city sticker and so had to pay $85 for the sticker + the $60 late fee + a $200 ticket
