L: here's the thing about the sweet bike (frame). Building it up would cost another few hundred bucks, which I don't have. My current bike is totally functional, just not pretty and Japanese. Plus, I got the new one at an unfairly low price (guy didn't know any better), which means that I can turn aroundn and flip it on ebay for, if I'm lucky, twice what I bought it for.

xp w/chris i hadn't noticed the chicago accent in rochester when i was travelling through there, but the way they portrayed it in the article, i was all, wtf, that isn't new yorky, that's chicagoey! and then they explained that it was the same accent.
chicago accents are more prevalent in the burbs from what i've noticed, because so many people in the city are originally from elsewhere.

Instilling linguistic anxiety in RaachesterFor a scholarly work with the formidable list price of $620, the Atlas of North American English (by William Labov, Sharon Ash and Charles Boberg) has been getting some nice press attention since its launch earlier this year. Last month NPR's "All Things Considered" featured a thoughtful interview with Labov, and now the Atlas has inspired a dialectological road trip by Tim Sultan, a New York Times travel writer.
When Sultan approached Labov about using ANAE as a travel guide, Labov warmed to the idea, suggesting that he head northwest from New York City straight into the Inland North. The "Inland North" is Labov's designation for the dialect region that surrounds the Great Lakes in urban areas from western New York State to southeastern Wisconsin. The region is largely defined by the Northern Cities Shift, a set of vowel changes that makes "Dan" sound to others like "Deeean," "Don" like "Dan," "Dawn" like "Don," and so forth. (That cursory description hardly does the vowel shift justice; see here, here, and here for more discussion.)
Sultan followed Labov's advice and headed off for the area around Rochester — or, if you prefer, "Ratchester" or "Raachester," using pronunciation spellings that seek to approximate the fronting (and lengthening?) of the vowel in the first syllable according to the Northern Cities Shift. Sultan had no problem eliciting the shifted vowels from residents of the region, which Labov chalks up to a general state of dialectal unself-consciousness among speakers in the Inland North:
"Nobody with the Chicago-Rochester dialect makes a fuss about it," Professor Labov said. "They aren't as self-conscious or aware of it. Give a New Yorker or a Southerner a piece of paper with a word on it and ask them to say it, they'll start sweating."
Well, there's one way to get folks in Rochester feeling anxious about their dialect differences — more stories like this one from the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, in which ANAE is tackled by a writer lacking Sultan's journalistic acumen:
Vowels speak volumes among 'funny-talking' Raachesterians
We may not know it, we may deny it and we might even be embarrassed about it, but a Pennsylvania linguist insists we talk funny in Raachester.
William Labov, a linguistics professor at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, calls our dialect the "northern city shift," claiming we say our vowels a bit more oddly than other parts of the country.
Needless to say, it's highly doubtful that Labov said that Rochester residents "talk funny," or that they say their vowels "a bit more oddly" than other speakers. But that's the way dialectal differences tend to get characterized in popular perception, so that's how Labov was apprehended by the Rochester reporter. Note also the accompanying sidebar that consoles readers: "Rochester isn't alone in having a dialect. Here are some ways other people talk." In common usage, terms like "dialect" or "accent" very often get equated with "talking funny," i.e., stigmatized divergence from perceived norms of pronunciation and usage. But works of dialectology like ANAE make no such value judgments on language variation. It's a shame, then, when reporters only hear what they want to hear.

I think what got my goat about the story was that the coworker was in no distress, not crying, not injured, not shaken up, not nothing, and the house was in order and the husband was just cooking Sunday dinner so there were no signs of a fight or of either party being upset. They weren't saying everything was okay now, they were saying that nobody had called from that house. It seemed like the cop was unwilling to entertain the thought that he had the wrong house.
And, of course, because it's my friend and her husband so I am all protective and shit about it. And because CPD has a fairly shitty history with racism and stuff so I'm always hyper-sensitive to those things.

He was in a garage band in high school called the Mystique. He played keyboards. I keep hoping I'll find something we can agree on. When I first found that out, I got all excited and started listing bands and singers I thought he'd for sure know about. He hadn't heard of David Bowie. He had, however, heard of the Zombies. We agree on the Zombies I guess - and the Animals. But he never listens to that stuff any more.

I was laughing at work today because I was working on this story about devices that are supposed to make airplane bathrooms more sanitary, and there was a quote from a doctor who was like "It's all a bunch of hocus pocus. But if you're a hypochondriac, it doesn't really matter what I say about it anyways," and it was such an odd quote for a news story, because it's like he's sulking about it, and everytime I read it I started laughing. Same thing with the quote yesterday about the study that found that health care quality is essentially equal for Americans of all races, and the author was like, "No matter if you are black, white or Hispanic, you will receive the same mediocre level of care."

What kind of devises are designed to make airplane bathrooms more sanitary? Things that prevent people from peeing all over everything? Dudes should just sit down in airplane bathrooms instead of trying to aim through the turbulence and weeing all over things I need to touch when I wash my hands.

The food is kind of overpriced, I might agree with that. They've always served food there, but they added a larger room and expanded the menu about a year or two ago -- so I wonder if the review is saying that they shouldn't have bothered with that and just kept it a cozy coffeehouse? I like that you can order alcohol there, although I usually feel like I'm the only one who is.

sure it's possible. the alcohol by volume is the same as any other beer but all that water makes my hangover the next day much more tolerable. when i used to drink 10 newcastles a night i'd be out of commission all day the next day. now i'm just out of sorts for a few hours. i figure it will take me 8 bottles of pbr to get shitty. just gotta stay away from demon gin.

1. Em writes for Dusted, so maybe he parlayed those reviews into writing for P-fork.
2. Uncommon Ground - polished feel to it, easy to drop 25 bucks on eating and drinking so it's yuppie in that way for dinner (though there's no cover for the music and you can just get a cup of coffee if you want). I like playing there because of the intimacy of the room, the decent sound, decent feel, booking guy is nice, and they pass the hat around, which can mean better $ than a club gig.
They've got 3 acts a night there, so there'll always be some lousy acts there, but if you know what you're going to see, it can be great - I saw Eleni Mandell and Dallas Wayne both play great shows there for about 5 people.

ME TOO!
The problem, however, is that 8-9 beers usually makes drinking whiskey from the bottle seem like a fucking terrific idea. Like, possibly the BEST EVER IDEA YOU'VE EVER THOUGHT OF.
Also, ME TOO!
I feel like cheap beer gives me a worse hangover than fancy pants beer. Like, when I read Otto's post about getting sloppy on PBR, my head started to throb a little in anticipation. But maybe I'm just conflating PBR-drinking with the straight-from-the-bottle-whiskey-drinking that PRB-drinking inevitably leads to. Because whiskey straight from the bottle... now that's a hangover.

2) I know the Orly's you were all talking about.
3) I will go to your shows.
4) I have shows of my own, but not because I'm in a band. I'm an improvisor, taking classes at Second City, so I have regular student shows there. Which are free. This is just to vary things up and confound the image of Chicago as the home of "white males with guitars" and nothing else.

I will likely have to compromise that on this job. But I will do my damndest to at least convert them to tables properly marked up with CSS. "Transitional layout," they call it.
But it's so simple! If it occurs only once on any given page, it's a id. If it occurs multiple times on a page, it's a class. What is hard about this?
They became unrecommended so long ago, I'm amazed anyone still knows how they work. I don't.

Ok, but understand, guys -- I haven't been some PC zealot from the start. I went through a phase, when I first started using Apples on a daily basis, when I was totally enamored. The OS is brilliant. The interface is crazy intuitive, even if it unwisely sacrifices processor power for stupid shit like shadows behind windows. And there's lot of little shit like that. Of course, there's lots of little shit like that with PCs, too.
I think what convinced me more than anything was that the $1800 iMac G5 that I was using every day blew up. Fried. Overheated terminally. And we brought it to the Apple store, and they said, "Oh, yeah, that happens." WELL WHY IN FUCK'S NAME DID YOU PUT THE PIECE OF SHIT ON THE MARKET, THEN.
Apple has a recent history of this. Rushing things to market that should not be there, only because people will buy them. The recent Intel chip thing is an example -- so I get more speed out of Apple programs, but anything that I would actually USE has to run in an emulator? Fuck you!
― Joe Polniaczek (kenan), Saturday, 18 March 2006 20:06 (nineteen years ago)
i don't like apples for the hardware anyway: it's the os. it's so vastly superior to windows that i'm willing to pay more for the hardware to get it. and besides, if you were actually serious about being a dork, kenan, you'd be using ubuntu or some other *nix system.

I'm not serious about being a dork! I'm serious about having the programs that I need to run as quickly and painlessly as possible. And of course that includes Adobe programs, which are huge, and despite what the box says don't run really well with less than 2 gigs of RAM. Apple will charge you anoth $500 for 2 gigs of RAM. I can find a PC that comes with it, plus a lot more hard drive space, plus exactly the same processor. Fuck an Apple, seriously.

InDesign is beyond my ken.
InDesign is an improvement on Quark in almost every conceivable way. One of the cleanest, best programs I've ever used. But it's nothing without Photoshop and Illustrator, so you need the suite to do anything serious. And the suite sucks processor and memory like you cannot believe.

I'm afraid of running "alternative" systems, only because my living is so based on things that, as far as I know, only run well on XP and Mac. I never want to be in a situation where I cannot mail someone a simple document, because it's not in MS Word and that's all they have. People mail me this kind of shit all the time. I don't want to be that guy.
Admit this, at the very least. Buying a $1500 Apple is like buying a $1500 Tag Heuer, when a $500 Seiko does the same job, is of the same quality, and looks not a lot worse.

w/r/t file compatability -- open office purports to be totally crosscompatible with MS Office. but you're right: this is fine for personal stuff, but in a business environment, you've got to be able to guarantee that things are gonna open.

I think Big Star get on my nerves because: 1. For a "POWER POP" band, they aren't very powerful or even particularly catchy; 2. Their songs have too many parts and just generally seem unfocused, which to me is the opposite of what pop is supposed to be. But yeah, I liked some of the other songs you guys mentioned too.

Todd, I wish I would have known you were at the show! I ended up not going. It's like this. I was taking a nap (ie: sleeping for about 2 hours) on the futon. Instead of waking me up, Nick settles in beside me and goes to sleep. Finally, he wakes up and says, barely audibly, Hey, are we going to that show or what?
Did I whine to you guys about my old gynie? If you would like to read a huge rant, please continue. Well, I found a new doctor but haven't visited her yet and I just realized this weekend I was out of pillz. I had left messages with my old doctor as had my pharmacist. All I needed was ONE MORE PACK. She only lets me have 6 months at a time. So finally I march into her office. I have to wait FOREVER, just so she can bring me back to her office at yell at me! She was like "WHY ARE YOU WASTING MY TIME?! YOU ARE NOT MY PATIENT!" This is after it took them forever to find my file and they kept saying I'd never been to see them before (yeah... THREE TIMES I've been there...). She says I'm not her patient because I sent three different requests to have my records sent to my doctor (which they never did - and that was @ the new year). It was awful. She just kept yelling and making me defend why I want to start going somewhere else. Then she tried to say I owed her $ because my insurance wasn't paying. It turns out she was sending requests to my old insurance. So then she said I owed her for all the visits out of pocket because I didn't give her my new info. I grab my file from her and turn to the page with my new insurance info I gave her a long time ago. THEN she says I owe her $1000 because it's my deductible. I point out on the sheet that's for hospital visits only - I just have a $25 copay. She says I can't leave her sight until I pay up. In the end, I wait while they call my insurance company so they can hear exactly what I've been saying all along. So, yeah. In the end, I WIN, but it was OFF THE HOOK RIDICULOUS! Thank you for your time.

If I may recommend another Chicago jazz record, Ted Sirota's Rebel Souls is really good. It's got Jeff Parker and Jeb Bishop and goes from Ornette-ish stuff to afro-beat and synth-vamps. He plays in the Saturday night organ trio at the Green Mill too, has to be one of the best drummers in town.

and, my nose . . . i really like it. i think i've wanted it pierced since i was 16 or so. i really loved the woman who did my piercing & I wrote her this gushy thank-you card b/c i'm a cheeseball.

i wonder if many people assumed i already had my nose pierced since no one at my soccer game noticed it at all last night. i think my mom is a little freaked out that it will make me less employ-able.

The grind is important. Go to a coffee shop and ask for coffee ground for a press. Starbucks is good for this, usually. And I think you have to use off-boil water.

Also, dudes, w/r/t coffee: my roommate has tipped me to the TODDY. It's a COLDBREW method that apparently produces extremely delicious coffee with significantly lower acidity levels. I've quit coffee, but this sounds good all the same. I guess it produces a thick coffee "extract" that you just add hot water to and bing: coffee!

-fill the pot with press-ground coffee up to the top or middle of the first metal band (that holds the handle on). Most presses I've seen have the band in the same spots
-fill nearly to the top with water.
-put the strainer on the top and let it sit for 4 min or so
-press slowly down
-enjoy, rinse, repeat

here's the thing: twice now, at the bottle, I've seen shows with lineups like this:
(1) Local Chicago band, pretty good, good mix of uptempo and non(2) More well known (inter)national band, playing SOFT WHISPER BABY QUIET MUSIC. how do i shot buzzkill(3) Headliner, restores energy drained by (2)
I know billing often has to suit the popularity of a given band (even if only because that's what people expect, and thus plan dinner accordingly), but it's infuriating to get jazzed by an opening act, only to get put to sleep by a second. I want a clear narrative arc to my evening, ppl, is that so much to ask?
this was like the Books opening for Diplo wtf.

After finally making my first dentist appointment(s) in years, I find out that my insurance only covers consultations and cleanings, no x-rays or extra work. I upped my insurance, but it doesn't take effect until May 1st. My appointments are in April, so I still have to pay out of pocket for stuff. As I write this, it seems like re-scheduling is the obvious thing to do, but after all this time I'm kinda antsy to follow through and get my teeth fixed.

yeah northsix! i actually ended up leaving before d&g but everybody else was fantastic. as far as internship thanks for the dfa heads up, i'll check it out. right now i'm talking to someone from astralwerks which is in a pretty similar vein i guess since they do dfa distribution

sex and board games sounds just about peffect.
i lived on sargent street (#9), which has since been condemned, I think.
i hadn't heard that about tstock, though, no. hardly surprising, really. i'm amazed it was never as dangerous as it had the potential to be.
DON'T MIND ME GUYS, JUST PATHETICALLY RELIVING COLLEGE.

J, how do you do this without sounding like a total dork? I need tips. Also, what's your myspace? Mine's /differentcinematography. I need friends there, 'cause I just started and it's all about high school people at the moment.
Also, so everyone knows what I did today: I ate Chipotle and went to Half Price Books and bought Dune, Cee-Lo's "Soul Machine" record, and movies by D.W. Griffith, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, W.C. Fields, and PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE!!! W.C. Fields is amazing! Spring break is good. No alcohol or joints yet, though. I really want to get high and go see an Omnimax movie. Does anyone know what these are? Like, not IMAX, Omnimax. The ones in the dome.

True, but when the speed limit is 55 you can only go 70 w/out risking jail or crazy tickets. But when it's 70 you can go 85, which is much much better.

My cell phone is so old school that I can receive text messages but have no way (other than the context of the message) of knowing who sent it. So I received a few "merry christmas xoxo!" "happy new year xox!" messages that are unsourced.

As an Irish, that means you're COMMONWEALTH, so you can probably get in on a commonwealth work visa and/or on a heritage-type visa. It's probably not all that hard - a matter of filling out the right forms, waiting, etc? Have to check the Irish and Cdn high-commission websites, I think.

The Prince album is funny. 'Love' is hot and 'Lolita' is pretty good, but 'Fury' isn't as good as the SNL version. Probably because Prince is playing live drums!

Pork Chops seared in my Special Sauce* Roasted red potatoes (w/ rosemary and sweet onions, a la toaster oven)Asparagus with pesto
Appetizer: hearts of palm with a little olive oil and herbs
*Special Sauce= olive oil, rosemary, honey mustard, sherry, salt, pepper. Used as a marinade and then reduced in the pan for use as a sauce.
Pretty yummy for top-of-my head cooking, and only takes

I have photos. I will post them eventually.
I only skimmed the first quarter of the thread, so here are my bullet points:
1. Hello new person from Hyde Park whose given name I have already forgotten. I like friends.2. Kenan, congratulations on the new job!3. I know HTML and think that tables are a viable layout option as long as you still have to incorporate inelegant hacks into CSS-based designs to get them to render properly in all browers. 4. I had a dream about Amanda last night. A woman I go to school with was pregnant and only in her sixth month but feeling really rough and you offered to let her pull on your leg, if that would make her feel better.
And here are my questions:1. What happened to Sarah?2. What is my new friend studying?3. How is everybody?

Setting up a cd release show has been a lot harder than I thought it would be, not that I'm the only one working on it. On the other hand, we do have lots of fun shows coming up. We could just start selling our cd in June or so and never have an official release, but that would be pretty disappointing. :-( WOE IS ME! End gripe.

Our new cd still isn't out because of artwork issues, but we found new guy (rather, I did, in a bar) so it should be released (without ceremony) in a few weeks. I'm already over this one, I'm neither excited nor disappointed. I hope we do something in the studio next time, but knowing this band that won't be for a long while.

God, that was a long post.
For a while there, I was worried she might make me drop my pants just to get one extra pack, so she could get another visit payment out of me, not that I would have done that. This lady, for those who haven't heard me rant before, is the same one who didn't warn me before doing a breast exam (ie: I'm sitting on the table with my clothes on, she lifts my shirt and starts squeezing away), never offers me a gown (last time I had to beg for a small sheet to cover up with), enters the room without knocking, and makes me come in every six months just for kicks (she didn't even examine me last time, just said, here for your pills?

I have an apt. with a new gyn in April. My old one was fine, just too far away, and I like the Swedish Covn't hospital people a lot so I switched to one of those.
I can't believe I forgot to ask this - John, how was your date?
And Sarah, I think it would be sad if you guys didn't have a CD release party.
Amanda, I think I dreamed about you because 1) through a hilarious mishap, I managed to scratch myself on the top of my nose and now have a big scrape on it; and 2) we didn't get home in time to vote yesterday and I have the guilt.
What do people know about Judy Barr Topinka?

Sarah - Good luck! Setting up shows sucks sometimes. As a believer in the idea that "if you're running for mayor and have 10 supporters, you hold your rally in a phone booth" - you guys could have a line into the street waiting to get into Cal's - or you could have a line down the street leading into your apartment, where you play three songs for groups of 6 people at a time.

While I recognize subtle variations in different regions (Georgia's drawn out vowels vs. NC's swallowed syllables vs. the midwest's nasally flatness vs. Delmarva's butchering of long Os and short Us), why do people in rural areas all over the country have similar accents?

I think the race between her and Blagojevich will be really interesting as a fight between personalities. Blago's sort of a wimp, all small and nebbishy, whereas Topinka has this larger-than-life, straight-shooter persona, topped off by that low, been-around-the-block smoker's voice. I remember when she was terrorizing Democratic candidates in DuPage County in the early 90s.

As for Prince... Me, I like the older Prince mostly and selected newer stuff. My favorite Prince song is "I Feel for You," covered with great success in the 80s by Chaka Khan. Prince's version is about a million times for funky, although it lacks the funny "Chaka Khan let me rock you let me rock you Chaka Khan" rap parts.

The thing I like about 'Gett Off' and 'Sexy MF', on the other hand, is that it seemed, at the time it came out, that Prince was listening to Bel Biv DeVoe and the like and was trying to one-up 'Poison' as a new-jack pop song with some rapping, hip-hop drums, etc. - and he did it!

Thing is, NW is supposed to send out admission letters and shit NEXT WEEK. I've already spoken to D about the problem (the people that can actually help are at lunch), and there's pretty much zero chance that my transcript can be processed and even in the mail by Friday.
Admission to post-bacc programs generally consists of being to get things mailed to the right place by the right time -- so I've already screwed THAT up. They're not particularly interested in the contents of my transcript, they just need to have it before they can give me an OK.

Technically, yes, that is still the plan, but I thought I'd cover my bases here in Chicago and at least have the option of staying here with friends/band/etc., especially now that things are "taking off," so to speak.

Because each phoneme can be broken up and articulated separately, even though they're elided to sound as one? (And whereas /sh/ doesn't really contain distinct elements of /s/ or /h/?)

They also have that sound, but are not spelled with 'sh' -- it's a sound and it's represented orthographically in a variety of ways depending on what language you speak.

This is confusing, I know. What I mean is what other consonant phonemes are not represented by a single letter in the standard alphabet?
― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 21:12 (nineteen years ago)
th can be voiced or unvoiced, with (unvoiced) or these (voiced)
words like change and switch contain an alveopalatal affricate, t+"sh" which is represented thusly in the IPA
"zh" is another affricate, the voiced version of t+"sh" and you will find it in words like elision, derision, decision and rouge.
Does that answer your question Jaymc?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 21:18 (nineteen years ago)
Is it accurate to say that the tongue/mouth movement used to produce the "d"-ish sound in the word "water" is the same as lightly-rolled "r's" (in Spanish for ex.)? Apologies for the non-technical explanation.

So I had to skim. Despite yummy linguistical content.
I wish I could get passionate about ancient and medieval history.
This is basically why I'm going back to school. But I'm not into the battle stuff so much. I'm more about, "What did they eat?" Classics = the closest thing you can get to studying sci-fi/fantasy but it's all true!

More on man-dates:
We were testing you, really, by making you wait until 3:30 to address the latest from Times reporter-laureate Jennifer 8. Lee, in which she discovers that two straight men can indeed be friends! Just follow the simple rules of man-dating:
Almost all men agree that beer and hard alcohol are acceptable man date beverages, but wine is risky. And sharing a bottle is out of the question. “If a guy wants to get a glass of wine, that’s O.K.,” said Rob Discher, 24, who moved to Washington from Dallas and has dinner regularly with his male roommate. “But there is something kind of odd about splitting a bottle of wine with a guy.”A stretch, sure, but there is something kind of weird about two guys and shiny, smooth, rock-hard wine bottle. Amyl nitrate, sure, no problem. But wine? That’s fucking gay.

I was not aware of there being a term for this. I see it all the time at my work. And the men do indeed share wine.
What's up straight dudes? Man-purses, man-dates, man-ginas now man-dates????

I prefer hanging out in a bar or watching TV to a quiet dinner when I'm with another guy I'm not romancing, especially if he's gay. But I have some intimacy issues.

AND THEN I CALLED ANOTHER CO-WORKER WHO MAKES THE MONEY I DO. I PREDICT THIS YEAR I WILL OWE AROUND $4,500. OUCH. I need a good (crooked?) accountant, stat.
I should have been saving receipts like I was told (apparently servers can count eating out as "furthering education" and buying booze as same. and buying black pants and white shirt and any black shoes as uniform expenses.)

This is what I was trying to get at with the battles thing.
I went to see my little brother's pop/punk/rock band play tonight in Covington, Kentucky. Their name is "Jonuh," which is very lame. But they were a lot of fun, as was one other band with a horrible name. Neither of them screamed (I hate that shit), and when I thanked the lead singer of the other good band ("famous," i.e. they are on Vagrant) for not doing so, he said, "Oh, I hate that shit." Good guy. My roommate (here with me from Chicago) and I left during the band that we stayed for because they looked like Guns 'n Roses, except for the bass player who looked like the Goo Goo Dolls. They sounded appropriately horrible. Fuck bad local bands. Also fuck annoying friends who whine about you not accomodating them on YOUR spring break when you brought your fucking roommate who she is in love with home, goddammit. But that is another rant.
Wrens are playing at Schuba's fairly soon with Tapes 'n Tapes. I haven't heard the latter. Are they good? Does anyone want to go?
Alright, it's off to eat egg nog ice cream and watch Hustle & Flow. Much love. Oooh, I almost forgot: I found the first My Morning Jacket record for $9 used today. They are probably my favorite currently existing band. I was pumped.

It's not Important -- but it's a reasonably entertaining one-man-struggling-to-chase-his-dreams type of movie. I liked it.

No. I thought it was last night and I HATE DESTROYER. Kind of. In any event, I think not.

About H&S-- I heard that it was important at a screening of a movie about prostitution. Doesn't it glorify pimping though? And make the pimp out as the victim and the hero and the hard-working man? When in fact I learned that they are big fat exploitaters with funny hats?

In Europe: "Doctors in training will work a maximum week of 58 hours until 2009. From 1 August 2009 their maximum working week falls to 48 hours."
In America: "Residents routinely work 75 to 100 hours a week and often 36 hours straight without sleep."

If I were you, I'd have quit by now. Which is not to say that you're a chump, but I don't think I could handle that. I have so much trouble motivating myself by the end of the day I can't even imagine working another 2 to 4 hours on top of that. Also: do you ever sleep? Also also: you get paid the SAME? No, seriously, that's why I quit my last job, because they were going to make me work 50 hrs/wk with no commensurate pay increase. Sorry, that's not how I roll.

Most people do. But if I was working 12 hours a day, that would just make me want to go out more and stay up later, because I wouldn't have any time to myself.

Wait, which is the Original Pancake House? Mitchell's, or Walker Brothers?
Our's is just called The Original Pancake House, so... I don't know? I had cherry crepes and a scrambled egg. It was good.
I really want egg nog ice cream. Is it left over from the holidays? I would like to watch H&S too b/c I hear it is Important.
It WASN'T left over from the holidays. Kroger was just selling it in their freezer and I had to throw down on that shit. I LOVE holiday flavored (i.e. egg nog and pumpkin) stuff. It bothers me that so many people hate on egg nog, too. It might be even better as a flavor than as a beverage.
H&F was good, although I expected the story to cover more of his life. As far as Important... eh. As far as the pimping goes, he's definitely portrayed as a victim of economics/circumstance, but he does keep saying how he hates pimping. And he doesn't exactly have misogynistic relations with his women. Although he's not exactly an upstanding feminist or anything either. I have confusion about these issues in my own life, not exactly with being a misogynist but more with feeling like I have the male equivalent of "white guilt": "male guilt"?
Did you know that...
Yes, yes I did. Because my father switched careers to go back to med school when I was in third grade. He WAS biochemist, now he's an oncologist, but only after YEARS of debts and moves and school. He worked many a marathon shift. It was kind of fun to say, "My dad's at the hospital," though. But my parents stayed married and now they have a pool, so it turned out okay. I guess I would say it's good that you're going now, Evan, instead of later. Do you know what kind of medicine you want to practice? Also, Northwestern, eh... pretty... pretty... pretty nice!

I often like working b/c I know I'll just get into trouble if I don't work. 2 summers ago I worked on the Odysssey (dinner cruises -- docked at Navy Pier) and worked 65 hours a week most weeks. Exhausting but fun. And $.

"Duder" reminds me of JALG, which is a great thing.

I'm talking about the shitty, fat, drunk, dreadlocked hippie wanna-be moron kind of frat boys, not so much the preppy stuck up ones. There was pretty much only the former at my school...
Still, interesting. Could this mean that frat duders really are a bunch of repressed homos?

Oh, that's not the point I was getting at.
I was thinking more along the lines of gay men internalizing frat boys' attitudes and ways and rather than waiting for someone to give them a rape drug, they do it themselves.
The first part (gay men trying to be like those who oppressed them, historically) is nothing new of course. The gay male gym body and butchness etc stem from trying to be become the power figure. a;lskj;asgdlkja;sdlhgoin

Is "18 Musicians" downloading in parts? Because it's really one approx. hour-long piece and should only be listened to that way -- you have to listen to how each section ebbs and flows into the next. I have the original 1978 ECM recording, which keeps it as one track on the CD, but subsequent recordings may vary.
