Lakeview COC is running a campaign to save the Lincoln bus if any of you #11 fans would be sad to see it go.
― ms. cookie (carl agatha), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 20:57 (eleven years ago) link
I don't have reason to take the Lincoln bus very often, but whenever I've wanted to, I've noticed that it's either already stopped running or that the next bus is in like a half hour.
― squicky chutzpah in the drug biz (jaymc), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 21:04 (eleven years ago) link
I take that bus a lot. I wish there was more frequent service (and I wish a lot of the buses had later service - stopping service at 8 pm on a weekend is straight nonsense), too.
― ms. cookie (carl agatha), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 21:15 (eleven years ago) link
It's the bus that takes me to and from bars. Guess I'm going to have to buy a car now and start drinking and driving.

You should email the CTA and tell them that.
― ms. cookie (carl agatha), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 21:23 (eleven years ago) link
Don't really understand the gist of that grand cultural plan - what it means to achieve, where it gets the money from - but I think the city would be better served putting all that effort into bettering the CTA, and then, fine, hanging some art on the trains and buses and stuff.

There were people all over the Loop handing out the weirdest free crap today. Sabra humus and pita chips! Yogurt! (I don't want free yogurt from a man with a bag full of yogurt slung across his back!) Southwest three cheese Shake-n-bake!
I got ambushed by the Shake-n-bake guy as I was leaving my building and accepted the product and I'm totally going to make it. It comes in a ziploc bag with half breadcrumbs and half actual cheese that miraculously does not need refrigeration. WHO DARES TO COME OVER FOR SOUTHWEST THREE CHEESE SHAKE-N-BAKE????
― ms. cookie (carl agatha), Thursday, 23 August 2012 00:56 (eleven years ago) link
I'm sorry! It's not Shake-n-bake! It's some new product called "Fresh Take," which given that it is magical non-refrigerated cheese is kind of hilarious. I'm still going to coat some kind of meat with it.

Aren't all the south side red line stops closed for like 5 months?

Yeah, the Dan Ryan branch starting in May.
Did you know that John Tesh wrote the NBA theme song and it's called "Roundball Rock"? He did and it is.

hahahaha!

remember my hilarious dream about john tesh?
― these albatrosses have no fear of man (La Lechera), Thursday, 23 August 2012 14:52 (eleven years ago) link
also this "Roundball Rock" by John Tesh

I'm not sure where else to put this, so I will put it here.
I had a super weird dream last night that I was related by marriage to John Tesh, and he had suffered a brutal rape (which I did not see) on an airplane and the whole world was after the guy who did it. It was like this huge international media thing, and John Tesh was sort of enjoying the publicity, but lamenting the fact that he had to be brutally raped in order to have this sort of attention. He was like "what about my music? What about 7th Heaven? Was that worth nothing to these people? I had to be attacked by that animal in order to be recognized?"
That's all I remember. He knew who had done it, and he knew that once that guy was found, he (John Tesh) wouldn't get as much attention, so he just told me. It was a guy named Gary Pflower.

this was one of the weirdest and most vivid dreams i've had probably ever
― these albatrosses have no fear of man (La Lechera), Thursday, 23 August 2012 14:54 (eleven years ago) link
do you think it would be a fair gender stereotype to say that women have crazier dreams then men? or am i generalizing based on my typically dull dreams?
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 23 August 2012 15:16 (eleven years ago) link
I don't think it would be fair.
Gary Pflower... holy shit.
― ms. cookie (carl agatha), Thursday, 23 August 2012 15:18 (eleven years ago) link
ok

If I ever write a series of adult speculative fiction it will be under the name Gary Pflower

Phew. I just finished writing something for work that is probably the longest thing I've written in a few years (about 1,300 words). It discusses Adele, Justin Bieber, Amanda Hocking, E.L. James, Frank Ocean, Kate Upton, Radiohead, Louis C.K., Etsy, and Tavi Gevinson.
― squicky chutzpah in the drug biz (jaymc), Thursday, 23 August 2012 17:39 (eleven years ago) link
would read, whatever it is. (presumably about cultural products and the internet or something?)
― doctor, doctor, give me the news (askance johnson), Thursday, 23 August 2012 17:45 (eleven years ago) link
I seriously can't imagine there being anyone better suited to writing a long thing about all of those people/things. I don't even know who two of those people are.
― carl agatha, Thursday, 23 August 2012 17:46 (eleven years ago) link
I had to google kate upton, and I still don't quite know how she fits in with the other folks.

It looks like Roy's furniture might be coming back, based on the fact that they have a temporary sales warehouse, which I learned bout from an Amazonlocal ad.

Why do you have a dumb display name now?
― Jeff, Thursday, 23 August 2012 18:54 (eleven years ago) link
The article is about self-promotion, D.I.Y., fame via the Internet, new strategies for creative success, etc.
I worked in Kate Upton b/c she arguably only became a huge deal after the video of her doing the Dougie went viral.
― squicky chutzpah in the drug biz (jaymc), Thursday, 23 August 2012 19:10 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I think that's what launched her.

So a coworker was SO FUCKING EXCITED about the book Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer and wouldn't shut up about it so I put it on hold and the library and after a month or so (there were like triple digit people waiting for copies of the ebook), I got it. And it is a terrible book! The writing is dreadful but at first it was kind of fun so I didn't mind, but now the author is setting things up to make it so that vampires are mainly responsible for slavery and the Civil War and I can't even.
― carl agatha, Thursday, 23 August 2012 19:15 (eleven years ago) link
heart of italy is pretty close to where i live. afaict it is a neighborhood with an area of only a few blocks.

Go look at the Roy's warehouse and tell us if the coupon is worth it.
