THANK YOU!!! I knew you'd have some good options. Sadly, one of the people we're eating with is the pickiest eater I've met since my 5 year old self, so I'll leave it up to her.

Also: I'm totally on your team wrt Dara. She's awesome.

I just read her recent review of Dave & Busters. I mean, here is this James Beard award-winning food writer, really knows her way around cooking and wine, and she goes to this place and has a great time. I really can't think of a music writer equivalent of her. She's the best.

I want to have DM's babies.

I've really appreciated her approach to food & her writing is really fun to read.

I tried to do that Simpsonizer thing, but it didn't like the photos I submitted. Oh well.
― jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:08 (seventeen years ago) link
I'll be your wing man, Jordan.
― Eazy, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:08 (seventeen years ago) link
Also, in the non-productivity department, I keep trying to write this blog entry about baby names, but I just spent like an hour just inputting data into Excel, after which point I can't really justify ignoring my actual work anymore.

Did you guys do an automatic Simpsonizer thing? The one I did was piece-by-piece manual (hence the green lips).
― Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link
yeah, i did it all manual, too.

I don't have a photo with high enough resolution on this machine.
― dan m, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:17 (seventeen years ago) link
Mine was automatic, but they had options to revise stuff piece-by-piece aftewards. I didn't change anything though.
― KitCat, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:17 (seventeen years ago) link
yeah, that's the one
I tried putting this one into it, but no dice.

Eazy - i'm interested, altho i don't have much grant writing experience ... but how hard can it be? i'll take some info
― deej, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:20 (seventeen years ago) link
I did mine by scanning a photo. I tried customizing one first, but I think the camera don't lie.
Deej - send me an e-mail, or get my address from Jaymc.

I want a Dave and Busters FAP. Getting drunk and playing video games and skeet ball, I can't think of anything more enjoyable.
― Jeff, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:30 (seventeen years ago) link
mattttt had a birthday party there a while back. It was fun, but there were too many little kids around getting the games all greasy.
― dan m, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:32 (seventeen years ago) link
I'd go back, because I still have one of their cards with some game credits on it.
― dan m, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:33 (seventeen years ago) link
LOVE skeet ball
Do they have good girlie drinks?? If so, maybe I should have my birthday party there. Oh, xpost.
― KitCat, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:33 (seventeen years ago) link
Yes, they do. Answered my own question.
― KitCat, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:34 (seventeen years ago) link
skeet ball
Ew.
― jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:36 (seventeen years ago) link
I like the basketball shoot too. Much more enjoyable drunk.
― Jeff, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:36 (seventeen years ago) link
and the race games that vibrate.

That Simpson might have been accurate in 2003. I think in the photo I submitted, my hair blended into some tree branches.
― jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link
aw. The simpsonizer keeps telling me to come back later. :(
― kenan, Friday, 3 August 2007 16:59 (seventeen years ago) link
It's because I'm jamming the place up trying to simpsonize my family.
― KitCat, Friday, 3 August 2007 17:04 (seventeen years ago) link
See?
― KitCat, Friday, 3 August 2007 17:26 (seventeen years ago) link
hm. I figured it out. It won't work on Firefox for Mac.

Commission based grantwriting?! For shame on that non-profit! xpost

not Proops-y enough
― dan m, Friday, 3 August 2007 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link
Heh, your earlier one is much closer, Kenan.
Sisut, I don't know if they'd say "commission", but that's what it sounded like to me.
I like Sarah's photo of Jeff and Courtney at the c-hole tourney -- very athletic-looking!
― Eazy, Friday, 3 August 2007 18:02 (seventeen years ago) link
I was admiring that photo as well.
― jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 18:11 (seventeen years ago) link
Yeah, it was just my knee jerk reaction. Development professionals generally look askance at commission based grant work. Some argue that it's a clear cut ethical issue. But, at the very least, the grant writer runs the risk of getting paid absolutely nothing for their labor if the proposal isn't funded. Given that the reasons for not funding could be exclusively tied to the organization's performance and 100% out of the writer's control, it just doesn't seem very fair.

It's a mad house over here!! I think Laura Bush is dropping soon b/c the place is swarming with ginormous helicopters.
― sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link
Is she going to do a free-fall from a helicopter?
― jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link
It's doubtful John. Very doubtful.

I want to do another one where from the day I did the triathlon but it's super busy.
