Fuck yes, fuck yes!
We need more of this around here
you aint kidin brother (if i do say so myself) {and It looks like I just did}
That totally looks like the sweater I'm making.
it looks like ol' rummy is about to be guillotined. i like it.
I was actually thinking of a sweater pattern that invoked DonaldRumsfeld being beheaded when I dropped that post!
Talk about psychic energy...
Hey, it is in blood red yarn.
In other news, I just watched Mr. Arkadin. Whoo, boy! Joseph Cotten's wife was hot.
TALK ABOUT DROPPIN THE BALL.....
Thurston Moore is in Chicago right now with a few members of the arkestra. and right now theyre going on stage at the hideout for a tribute to sun ra. I cant stop pulling my hair out of my head!!!! I thought that whole thing was in December(?!?!) I dont know why I thought that at 7:35 this evening one of kate's friends called her and told her about it--saying, "isnt that "Tim's thing"? Im suprized you guys didnt go.... at that moment I threw my pants back on and was down the stairs out the door, car engine running...waiting for kate to get in.
we drove like hell to get there . showed up at 7:58 with twinkles in my eyes---just in time for some snotty bitch from the hideout tell me, "sorry yr too late!" it stings soo bad, how could I mistake this???
so this is the space where I would have been writing you all a glorious review. how could I do this?????? talk aout dropping the ballit hurts so bad
OH FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT THAT TOO!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Tim, I can't seem to find your e-mail address...but mine is edmcmillan at gmail dot com.
i added you on myspace rich.
Wow, between you and D, Tom is gonna get mighty jealous
Hey gang, if you really want to vomit, head on over to The 'Fork and read the Chan Clan Cat Power Interview. You thought that fucking Iconoclasts show was a hideous act of mutual ego-cock sucking? Well it has nothing on this. Its Chan Clan Marshall and that guy with the glasses who Ive seen on E! or Vh-1 Or whatever fucking place, and some other guy patting themselves on the back and petting each others wangs n tangs. And theyre so interesting! So fascinating! Gos I wish I could be like them! In every way!
is it rude to not go to lunch with your co-workers? i'd rather sit here and eat my pear and listen to my mixed cd while they are gone. is that so wrong?
Just say no thanks, I brought my lunch, perhaps next time.
Okay, that Cat Power interview...1. it's boring, and 2. who in their right mind would spend $7grand on Louis Vuitton shit? It's aesthetically nauseating, and it falls apart in like two seconds, even the genuine shit. And what's all this about energy?
well guys, it's that time of year: ZOO LIGHTS!!! d, did you come with last time? i can't remember. anyway, rich and time and i have a lot of fun at zoo lights, especially with 3-d snowman glasses and dancing, yet lonely, reindeer. jackie, you should come down here and share the fun. it opens for weekend starting soon, like nov. 24. but everyday in the middle of december, which is when we'll go... i mean, if you want to go. i'm just mentioning it now so i can plan between work, shopping for rich (who you know will not give me his list until the last minute) and making covers and other things. you're gonna come, right, tim? maybe this can be the lead-in to the party at our place where i'll make you guys dinner...
that would be fun! since i'm boycotting my mother as of right now, a trip far from home would be a good idea.
and what exactly is zoo lights?
Zoo lights is the best night on the planet. At least for Tim and I who go on a good natured rampage. Oh and remember the manic depressive reindeer? God I fuckin love Zoo Lights.
I wanna go! Make sure it's when I'm still in town. I missed it last year cos I was in TN.
well i'm glad it's a fun time for you and tim, but that doesn't explain to me what it is exactly.
oh, the lincoln park zoo puts lights all around the zoo. if you don't go towards the time it closes (we have only gone when there's about an hour left) they have hot drinks and other treats, not for free, though, of course. the first year there were people in costumes. but there was this on guy dresses as a reindeer that was all alone and he would dance a little (cuz there's christmas music over the speakers) and then stop and walk really slowly while hanging his head. rich and time couldn't stop laughing at the sight of this. best of all it's FREE. and there are people carving ice and other things. most of the indoor exhibiting houses are open, too, so you can see some animals. a lot of them aren't outside, as you can imagine they'd freeze to death. and it's near mitchell's, so dinner isn't far from you. but, this year maybe i'll make dinner.
and when i say the first year, i mean the frst year we went. the lpz has been doing this for a number of years. rich and tim get pretty silly, there. it's so much fun your cheeks hurt from smiling so much!
and last year, rich didn't have a hat, so he got a brown hat to go with his black coat! :)
I need to find that darn hat, its currently MIA
wow, i feel nauseous. i think there's a demon baby inside of me.
drink some liquor... that'll kill it. at least deform and retard it.
just what i need.... a deformed, retarded demon baby.
but good thought liz.
well i'm interested in attending the zoo lights thing, so keep me posted on what the details/days are. and whatever.
yeah I like those zoo lights
Tamara Jacobs, the former Capeside High English teacher who left town to avoid a scandal after her affair with Pacey was almost exposed, shares an awkward reunion with him as she's temporarily back as a real estate agent, who is trying to sell Mitch a warehouse which he hopes to open his own restaurant. The encounters triggers old emotions in Pacey and curiosity in Andie who asks Dawson for advice on Pacey's likes and dislikes. Meanwhile, Joey finds a new joy in art and takes the time visiting a gallery with Jack who shares her newfound love, but Dawson does not have the same interests. Also, Abby tries to get Jen to help her flirt with an attractive seaman, named Vincent, who rejects Abby's over-played advances, but accepts Jen's more softer approach.
Shitty pants is right.
the more I think about it--our zoo xmas visits have become a favourite part of the holidays for me. I wonder if that rudolph is still alive or if he finally succumbed to his bipolar tendencies.
hahaha... yeah, i wonder if he finally jumped into the polar bear pool.
and d, i'll try that vegan pie. i'm gonna order one in a minute. i don't really like pumpkin but it's not like i can't tolerate it. i can eat pumpkin if i'm starving. are you coming with us for thanksgiving again this year? well, i am pretty sure we're going to maggiano's again. however, this year i might go see my family afterwards and spend the night there since i have to work the next morning... but i'm not sure yet.
Thanks for the invitation, Liz, but I'm flying home for Thanksgiving. My mom is on a quest for Tofurkey as we speak.
I bought some ice cream from the company that makes the pie. It's sooooooooo good.
Breaking news: Rumsfeld may be getting tried on war crimes charges.
i'm making a 2nd mixed cd. is anyone interested?
Sign me up!
well fine, d! rich will have to eat it all by himself!
today would have been my mother's 64th birthday. i'm going to go get some fries from parkies with lots of salt, and a coke--two of her favorite things.
sorry: PARKY'S i've beena lil' space cadette for a couple weeks now... wonder when i'll get my brain back
everyone at work knows my name, but i only know my immediate co-workers names. its weird. i'm always like, "oh hey you..." haha
I just got a really sudden craving for onion rings. I don't even like onion rings.
I'm also thinking about becoming a flight attendant. Because this mousepad is making my arm break out.
so the cure for arm break-out is... becoming a flight attendant? interesting.
d, i can't find the post where you told me what days in december you'd be gone. so tell me again is what i'm saying.
did you guys hear that the guy who used to tape the jazz shows at empty bottle killed himself? he used to have a small tabe of equipment just right of the stage at a whole bunch of shows. supposedly he burnt himself to death on a Kennedy overpass in protest over the Iraq War. (this is not huge news as youve probably seen the article on pitchfork) Well done, Jackass. PS--He also beat his wife and disowned his son.
very noble.
I'll be gone from the 22nd-26th. And I think the rash is an allergy to accounting.
what?
Oh yeah, I read about that guy last week. Most people are chalking it up to the fact that he was batshit insane. Equating him with horrifically oppressed monks who've done the same thing is disgusting, especially if the only reason was because of his "anguish" over the war in Iraq. I'm furious about the war, too, but actual living, breathing articulate passionate activists are much more meaningful to any protest movement than self-righteous dead guys.
AMEN sister!
i take it you never cared for this guy, huh? well, i've been living in a cave cuz this is the first i've heard of him.
I didn't not care for him. He was kind of a staple around town: It was cool to know someone was documenting all the interesting music going on at the EB and basically holding it in such a regard. I also occasionally saw him at a bakery a few blocks from my current apartment.
He was an extremely vocal antiwar element in this city apparently. But his final action, as a form of protest (or not) is ugly and pointless and all he is, his legacy, is a suicide. and if anyone thinks otherwise--they're WRONG. This guy is a punchline to a joke just like the little prick who threw himself into the WTC hole after Bush was re elected. There is absolutely nothing Conscientious or noble about letting politics in this country (and 99% of circumstances in most other countries)motivate you to such actions.
Also--the skeletons in this guys closet are jumping out all over the place only after he offs himself..
Jackie--I too am interested in another CD
Dude! XM radio recently began something of a speedmetal station thats quite fun.
But my real point is a hotline they advertise between songs. This woman with a real Mary Hart (from Entertainment Tonight) kind of accomodating voice talks about "Liquid Metal", an internet and phone service for likeminded metal heads looking for friendship and romacne. It starts to get funny as hell when the Mary Hart chick starts describing people who use the service: "Jenny is an insomniac who loves to lick blood off her own chest and squeeze her lovers until they scream. She's been a little under the weather since tuesday when she took acid and convinced herself she's a potted flower--she's upset that no one will water her." Im not even kidding.
Another one was, "Brad likes to drink whickey and smoke cigarettes every night until he is convinced he's cold and dead!" Both of those are paraphrasesbut very close to the real thing. I would love to get some of these people to dogboybaby (or at least see their record collection!
LIQuID MeTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, hey, South Africa beat us to legalizing gay marriage. Whodathunkit?
anyone with cable: that movie, Forbidden Zone is on: Flix, Channel 586
i'm gonna make the cd tonight, or at least get the order together tonight. but i'm sick, so we'll see.
i want to make babies with parker posey.
Park Posey is so gross on so many levels, none more so then when she was jitterbugging on top of a car with Jimmy "The Unfunniest Man Since Paul Rodriguez" Fallon shilling Pepsi is a seriously lame ass attempt to prop up their thankfully floundering careers.
On a much more umm up note what did you think of the forbidden zone, tim? Were you living in the 5th dimension? Headed in the wrong direction? That fuckin movie rules so much.
well i like her in house of yes. so bite me.
someone at work just described me as "quiet", if they only knew!
Ok, House Of Yes is pretty good, I'll agree with that.
i have no desire to have babies with someone who dances on a car with jimmy fallon. ick. i guess i'm talking 1997 parker posey.
i was just in a staff meeting for 1 1/2 hrs. and had no clue what anyone was talking about.
do you know about this rich?:
Crispin Glover presents a full evening of entertainment live at the Music Box. This event includes a live, dramatic presentation of his BIG SLIDE SHOW, the Chicago premiere of his feature film WHAT IS IT?, a Q & A with audience members and a book signing.

His feature film WHAT IS IT? won the Best Narrative Award at the Ann Arbor Film Festival in 2005. Mr. Glover explains the plot thus: Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, a pipe, and how to get home, as tormented by a hubristic fascist inner psyche. No one under eighteen years of age will be allowed to the screenings and recording devices are strictly forbidden.
Three performances only! Friday - Sunday, November 17 - 19 at 7:30.
Tickets: $17 in advance through Ticketweb. $20 at the door day-of performance.
Special thanks to Neighborhood Inns of Chicago.
NO FUCKING WAY
OH MY GOD
WOW, thank you so much Jackie...UI had no idea
I thought i had missed What Is It like 2 years ago, andit turns out I hadnt missed it at all, stupid fuckin me.
wow, thank you so much jackie,
I just called liz in the middle of typing this. we ARE SO FUCKING THERE. Crispin Glover is amazing. Wow, you made my month. I am so fucking excited. thanks you thank you thank you
you are welcome!
Wow, I didn't realize that was this weekend! Jackie, you rule.
We're going Friday (we being Liz, Tim and myself), Im about to buy tickets, so D, you know, you should probably aim for that night, nudge nudge.
well you guys have fun! i wish i could go.
d, when did they legalize gy marriage in south africa? cuz i thought i saw jon stewart talking about it last year or earlier this year saying that "south africa is officially more progressive than the united states" blah blah maybe i'm the idjut, as rich would say (but not necessarily spell).
yeah i think that was awhile ago actually.
wait, the news yesterday talked about legalizing gay marriage in south africa. so it must be new news. i thought it was kinda old.
and i'm not D, so i'll shutup. haha.
Yeah, the South African legislature passed the bill yesterday. I'm no expert on their governmental system, so I guess that means that it's now law, from what I've read. Of course, they had to insert a provision allowing any religious or civil worker to deny to wed a gay couple to get the bill to pass, so it really has no teeth and is basically just symbolic. But at least it's better than having a ban placed within a constitution.
I thought it was old news, too. So that makes 3 of us eeejuts
maybe smug stewart as rich likes to call him was commenting on the bill from its beginning processes... but i don't know how their government works.
the windows at macy's are not that great. however, mighigan avenue (at least norh of ontario) smells like a christmas tree.
i can't spell. i need a nap.
what is your myspace address, hon?
I would guess that it's myspace.com/xulflove
no that's not it. it said invalid friend id. i even tried "fluxlove" and that didn't work.
...unless, of course, you cancelled or deleted it.
OK OK OK, the only thing to come close to Crispin Glover mania, is someone found tyhe archive of the old Jimmy Draper Sleater-Kinney site. Fuck, Ive been searching for this thing for a while...
There was a time (1998-1999 especially) where that page was how I found out about bands, made a few internet friends, contacted the person who sent me most of my S-K bootlegs. It was a fucking dream site. W/o hyperbole Id go so far to say it was the best fan site of a band Ive ever seen, bar none.
And theres a palce it exists on the web now! Yes! It makes me all sentimental and wistful...
check it out

I just noticed how much "Holiday and Waikiki" and "19th Nervous Breakdown" sound alike.
Oh, so much excitement!
i know.... people must have things to do today.
i can't wait for critique to be over. my project is shit. nothing like how i wanted it to be. and i'm hungry. i thought shredded wheat is supposed to hold you for a while. well, i guess six hours is a little too long for those little squares.
i'm back to work and not at home sick! woo!
