Chicago: customers are advised to allow extra travel time

That Gentlemens Quarterly that had the advice about Horatio Sanz and tucking in also had a profile of Matt Damon that made me like the guy. It's funny how that magazine puts actors on the cover who clearly hate to be interviewed and refuse to talk about their personal life, and then the profiles end up being about trying to get these guys to open up, and they don't. But Damon has a great line when he says that if the news is going to cover the price of a John Edwards haircut, they should cover the price of Bush's flight suit, too.

x - haha, drunkthelete.com

I am ALSO going to see Matt Damon's mantots tonight.

I get the impression that matt dam0n is a decent guy.

I'd probably rather go out drinking with him than Affleck. He might be boring, but Affleck would be obnoxious and probably ignore you while getting the phone #'s of all the girls you want to talk to.

I've heard good things about the movie! I'm excited what with the mantots and all...

i think you're right about the beers. although, matt might be the guy who sits back & just lets the ladies come to him. his wife is very hot.

He talks in that profile about how Affleck learned the hard way about the perils of overpublicity, and how if people know a lot about your personal life it's going to distract the audience from seeing you as a character in a story. It's as if they were equally strong actors with different personalities at the time of Good Will Hunting, and then they took very different routes not in the movies they chose but in the way they publicized themselves outside of those movies.

Affleck must've had a hard time watching The Departed. Boston movie without him.

He might be boring, but Affleck would be obnoxious make me want to beat him to death on sight

fixed

if people know a lot about your personal life it's going to distract the audience from seeing you as a character in a story

that's sooooo generous, though. Affleck has done a very poor job of managing his career apart from his personal life as well.

i can't believe i have two hours left of work today. these days are draggin' on & on.

I was trying to remember what movie I saw where he did a decent job in a small role, and then I realized it was Smokin' Aces, so never mind.

I'm going to fucking wreck you! That's to all the weak ass bitches. Sure I forgot who the fuck I am and people are trying to kill me and I'm not 100% sure why, but that doesn't mean I won't put a pen through your fucking hand or pound a book into your trach Vic Mackey style. Sometimes I get confused or have episodes. Then I start speaking in foreign languages I didn't even know I knew how to speak. Then there's time for fucking people up again.

Oh so you got a car now? Fuck that shit. I'll ride a moped and still fucking wreck you. You think you can stop me? You can't even contain me. Try to shoot me. I dare you. I'll make you miss and then jump out the window in shame. Fuck that, in fear. The moment you realize you fucked with Jason Bourne is the moment you jump out a window because you don't want to get fucked up by me. Thats right bitch.

See my movie.

This is good, from Hopper's blog - Stevie Wonder doing "Superstitious" on Sesame Street:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ul7X5js1vE

i misread that as "hooper" as in "Mr. Hooper" and then I remembered that he died.

poor ol Mr. Hooper

Speaking of Hopper...

The only thing everybody at Lollapalooza has in common is the willingness to be painfully gouged for a ticket. Even crowds that might seem a bit more like-minded (at Pitchfork, para ejemplo) make for a grim and dystopian scene

... no one at the Reader knows Spanish well enough to change that to "por ejemplo"?

also, that is a jammin version of superstition

Yeah, I love that clip.

LOL they speed up like a motherfucker by the end

where is jeff beck?

Has anyone been to the Great Taste of the Midwest Beer Festival in Madison? I may be performing there next weekend....although I'm not sure the guy fully comprehends our show. I mean, from what I know, small children are at this festival.

Yeah, my band plays there every year. :>

What is your show? I don't see many kids there, just wasted parents.

ps it's a great time

Burlesque...that's why I'm confused. At least one of the other dancers and I are game for the gig, but we need to find out details. We can definitely modify to make it more family friendly, but it's still gonna be burlesque.

family-friendly burlesque is an oxymoron, no? Or at least not much fun. :(

The group does have some numbers that are straight up dance numbers, no clothing whatsoever removed, and a couple of us sing. But since several of the other dancers are unavailable next weekend, this would probably be strictly solos.

Hmmm, it's basically a bunch of drunk Midwesterners drinking unlimited beer in a sunny park during the day. Maybe it would be weird, but there's a pretty great vibe there, so I could see it working out fine.

(the website says kids are allowed btw)

What kid wouldn't love watching some pole dancing and "Pour Some Sugar On Me" with a corn dog and some fries?

that's not burlesque, either!

ISN'T IT

hahahaha that's straight up stripping

It depends on how the corn dog & fries are used.

that's not burlesque, either!

Tell that to Amber, Angel, Montana, and Quinn.

...

oh, you said Quinn.

the name Montana still instantly makes me thing of Montana Wildhack from Slaughterhouse 5.

hahahaha

not Hannah Montana?

you know me better than that.

Take it to the Teenpop thread.

hey i only sorta learned who this hannah montana is but apparently she's huge! there are even s1mplicity patterns with her name on them!

DID YOU KNOW: she's Billy Ray Cyrus's daughter?

That I did know!

and she's disney's pawn, no?

I don't know who you people are talking about.

I'm trying to wean myself from "cheating" on crossword puzzles, but it's not going very well. I can only seem to complete one w/heavy internet assistance. :(

there are support groups for cheaters like you.

xxpost Yep.

We are talking about Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray's 14-year-old daughter, who appears on a Disney Channel TV show called Hannah Montana in which she plays a girl named Miley Stewart who performs as a pop singer named Hannah Montana. In real life, Miley Cyrus skips the middleman and performs and releases albums as Hannah Montana. Shit's huge among the tweener crowd. And certain ILXors.

I do crossword puzzles on the train, mostly, so I can't cheat.

But don't you ever get stuck and frustrated?
