SPEAKING OF shitting on the boss's desk, I'm in a cab on my way home from my job for the last time ever! :D :D :D
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 12 September 2012 20:52 (eleven years ago) link
I did not shit anywhere inappropriate btw. I even cleaned my desk thoroughly, vacuumed my keyboard, and left my voicemail password since getting a vm password reset there is one of the biggest hassles ever.

And no one is especially protective of their work voicemail password, anyway.

in honor of j's last day i got a malt from the m burger in the basement of her building. it was good but not appreciably better than potbelly malt imo. but i got vanilla, maybe that was the incorrect choice.

I was so touched by the crowd who turned out at my going away party...

Game night is never going to be the same.
(I don't mean to detract from the teachers' strike. I've just been waiting for this wonderful day for 4.5 years and I'm pretty excited it's finally here.)

Oh god, is this Guy Fieri on this box? I can't believe I have something in my house with his stupid face on it.

teachers' strike really deserves its own thread. not trying to force people off here but it seems like a big topic that non-chi people would want to talk about
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 12 September 2012 21:20 (eleven years ago) link
sorry to interrupt w/ teacher's strike stuff! congrats on leaving the job! (hopefully with a new one in the cards???)

oh i guess there already is another thread, sorry. no apologies needed, just a respectful suggestion!

Teachers on Strike: Classic or Dud?
^^ That's pretty active right now.
It's okay about the strike stuff! It's important in general and to me, and I don't really want to get into a debate about it (so disinterested in the aforementioned thread) but I like seeing notable pictures and hearing personal stories.
I do have a new, better job lined up! I start the 24th. I would probably be slightly less happy if this was an unplanned departure, but not by very much tbrr.

I saw Teachers on Strike open for Black Flag in Boston in '87.

Hey Jenny, do you want to see a matinee of The Master on Friday?

Where's it playing?
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 12 September 2012 21:31 (eleven years ago) link
Not online yet, but I bet it'll be at River East 21 and the Century and the Evanston.
― canonical casual cordouroy (Eazy), Wednesday, 12 September 2012 21:35 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe, baby, particularly if it's at the Landmark.

think i might finally check out green apple grill for lunch today. i am not very experienced with korean food.
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 14 September 2012 17:35 (eleven years ago) link
kimchee, bbq, bulgolgi
the sum of my koreafood knowledge right there
― DX Dx DX (dan m), Friday, 14 September 2012 17:43 (eleven years ago) link
and I didn't even spell it right
i like korean foodbibimbop is classic like pad thai is classic
there's really no spelling it "right" because it's a transliteration, isn't it?

The bibimbop at GAG was just okay. However, I am unfairly comparing it to bibimbap at Jinju, the only other place I've had it, where it was amazing. I loved the bulgogi but that's a big plate of beef by definition.
― carl agatha, Friday, 14 September 2012 17:49 (eleven years ago) link
GAG worst name for a restaurant or...?

Amanda, this news article was linked with the text "Lurid criminal trial in Los Angeles" and thought you might be interested: http://www.laweekly.com/2012-09-13/news/scott-barker-trousdale-estates-murder-trial-tony-takazator/
I haven't read it yet, but I'm finna.
― carl agatha, Friday, 14 September 2012 18:02 (eleven years ago) link
I can think of worse restaurant names, but GAG would always make the top five. I smell a McSweeney's list there somewhere.
― cue "White Rabbit" (kenan), Friday, 14 September 2012 18:03 (eleven years ago) link
i know this is annoying, but can i get a c & d on the irl name?
can't wait to read that article or wear my ridiculous new boots!!!
― these albatrosses have no fear of man (La Lechera), Friday, 14 September 2012 18:04 (eleven years ago) link

also a bad restaurant name

I am wearing the leather blazer that I bought early in the summer for the first time today, and I'm strutting in it. Black, butt-length, fits beautifully, cost me $15 for something that someone once paid $300 for. I feel like Rick Deckard. Or at least I feel like I look like him. Which is a fine feeling.
― cue "White Rabbit" (kenan), Friday, 14 September 2012 18:06 (eleven years ago) link
can i get a c & d on the irl name?
kept reading this as "can i get a classic & dud on the irl name?"
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 14 September 2012 18:08 (eleven years ago) link
Carl, perfect day to have a day off. Alas, The Master doesn't open for another week, so you'll have to take a sick day or long lunch hour for our matinee.
