You know there's a H&K II, right?

I missed the preview, but Courtney said they go to Amsterdam.
― Jesse, Saturday, 18 August 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago)
Please, why would I not know that?
― Jeff, Saturday, 18 August 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago)
They try to go to Amsteram

Hi guys.
― dan m, Saturday, 18 August 2007 20:24 (seventeen years ago)
the man always sleeps on the outside to protect the woman from intruders.
I sleep on the outside. I handle the intruders, and Jeff handles the under-the-bed monsters, which come up from the side closest to the wall.
Collette, I don't know you, but Knocked Up annoyed me. To be fair, though, it also made me LOL a lot (the Paul Rudd (who I know now is not Paul Riser)/curly haired guy relationship (which, right on HS, it is the total focus of the romantic comedy in JA's movies) was truly hilarious). So I guess it depends on how analytical you're feeling. Maybe get really drunk first. That's just good advice generally.
Also, Collette, hi. You've met my husband (Jeff) but not me since I was all studying and stuff when you all went out. I look forward to meeting you one day.

Hi Dan Martin.
I think I want to do something. I don't know what, though. I'm antsy and borderline depressed but I can't put my finger on why.
― Jenny, Saturday, 18 August 2007 20:28 (seventeen years ago)
Maybe all the air show noise is unearthing subconscious childhood fears of nuclear attacks.
Actually I think it's because I am faced (again, god) with the old "climb on the food obsession/WW/deprivation bandwagon and fit into that suit" (this will be the third time I've outgrown and then re-fit into that fucking thing) or "just be fat and buy a new one, already" dilemma. It's not helping much that I'm hungry for lunch.
― Jenny, Saturday, 18 August 2007 20:32 (seventeen years ago)
Will you all still be my friends if I end up circus fat lady fat? Because seriously, I beginning to realize that's a possibility.
Wow. Feminism, vaginas, weight problems, and cripplingly low self-esteem. I sure am cramming a semester's worth of ILX chatting into one morning!
― Jenny, Saturday, 18 August 2007 20:34 (seventeen years ago)
Jenny I'm going to send you an email (about this very thing)!
― horseshoe, Saturday, 18 August 2007 20:42 (seventeen years ago)
I ran! I timed myself on 5k, 27:53 from Cornelia/Broadway to North Avenue. I ran back, but a lot slower. I was slowed by air show crowds.
― Jeff, Saturday, 18 August 2007 21:30 (seventeen years ago)
I like running in the rain.
Will you all still be my friends if I end up circus fat lady fat?
Is this a trick question? Because of course the answer is yes, but... is that the answer you want?
Don't ask those questions.
― kenan, Saturday, 18 August 2007 22:02 (seventeen years ago)
I will have no friends fatter than Divine. That's where I draw the line. So don't get fatter than Divine, and you're golden.
;)
― kenan, Saturday, 18 August 2007 22:03 (seventeen years ago)
whatis happening
― dan m, Saturday, 18 August 2007 22:18 (seventeen years ago)
Is anything happening tonight?
― Jeff, Saturday, 18 August 2007 22:51 (seventeen years ago)
hi jenny, i look forward to meeting you as well. i think this weird weather contributes to weird feelings. i'm also a bit antsy today, but don't know what to do, plus it's so crappy out. i think i want to take a nap, but know i wouldn't sleep tonight if i do, which isn't good.
dan, are you planning on going to anymore footie games this year? the USA/Brazil one is a bit expensive, but i'd be interested in going to a normal game.
― colette, Saturday, 18 August 2007 22:56 (seventeen years ago)
Watching the Fire Beers somewhere? Probably after 10.
xpost Yes, not the one next weekend because of my sister's wedding, but any after that!
― dan m, Saturday, 18 August 2007 22:58 (seventeen years ago)
Kr and I are going to August: Osage County tonight. Text me if something happens later, but the show won't get out until like 11, I suspect.
― jaymc, Saturday, 18 August 2007 22:58 (seventeen years ago)
Courtney and I are formulating a plan. As of now it consists of the following:
1. Go to a bar. 2. ??? 3. Profit!
Okay, not really number 3. We're trying to decide on a bar. Something that isn't awash in smoke would be preferable.
― Jenny, Saturday, 18 August 2007 23:05 (seventeen years ago)
if anyone's still reading this, i'm probably going to a bar tonight with some chapel hillians. somewhere down around by me though - WP or Uke V.
― stingy, Saturday, 18 August 2007 23:31 (seventeen years ago)
seeing the thunderbirds at the end of the air show, while "proud to be an american" was playing over the PA, actually made me a tad bit emotional! am i a wuss or what? they also played limp bizkit's "rollin" while the thunderbirds did rolling maneuvers.
― stingy, Saturday, 18 August 2007 23:33 (seventeen years ago)
Play formulated. We will be at Galway Bay (NOT Galway Arms, although if Galway Bay is no good, we an always run into Galway's lovin' Arms) at 500 W. Diversey at 8 pm. Be there or don't be there.
― Jenny, Saturday, 18 August 2007 23:39 (seventeen years ago)
Sarah and I are going to see Cococoma at Ronny's I think.
― n/a, Sunday, 19 August 2007 01:27 (seventeen years ago)
wow what a nasty goal by blanco!!
― stingy, Sunday, 19 August 2007 01:52 (seventeen years ago)
This is the reason that don't want to run with you. You do things to excess.
― Jesse, Sunday, 19 August 2007 04:15 (seventeen years ago)
It was a reasonable pace. I don't go fast at all. Basically I shuffle my feet for 6 miles.
― Jeff, Sunday, 19 August 2007 06:12 (seventeen years ago)
I'm just stubborn about stopping.
― Jeff, Sunday, 19 August 2007 06:15 (seventeen years ago)
Total Time (h:m:s) - 00:27:53 Pace (miles) - 09:21 Moving speed (mph) - 6.4 (avg.)
That's reasonable, you're just slow. Get the glue off your shoe.
― Jeff, Sunday, 19 August 2007 06:21 (seventeen years ago)
Riding bikes around at night while slightly drunk is funnnnnnnnn 'cause there are no cars.
― dan m, Sunday, 19 August 2007 07:18 (seventeen years ago)
Those of us with wheels should take a mass ride together sometime.
― dan m, Sunday, 19 August 2007 07:19 (seventeen years ago)
yes
― kenan, Sunday, 19 August 2007 07:20 (seventeen years ago)
I think I made up a song driving tonight that could be the big breakthrough hit for 'nasta if you will allow in an outside songwriter collaborator.
― Eazy, Sunday, 19 August 2007 07:32 (seventeen years ago)
I ended up at the only open bar in St. Helena, California, which had salt-of-the-earth wine country dudes and Jenna Bush types and a band that did "Mustang Sally" and "Running Down A Dream" and then had a special guest gal singer who did full-on rock versions of "You Oughta Know" and whatever that I'll-take-your-breath-away song is by Sarah McCloughlan. It's likely that none of you wish you were there, but it was an interesting mix.
― Eazy, Sunday, 19 August 2007 07:34 (seventeen years ago)
Eric, write a song for the FFs. Actually, the song on my myspace called "Wrecking Ball" was my attempt at writing a song in the Er1c Z1egenhagen styley but like most of my attempts to copy someone I don't think it really ended up sounding like an EZ song at all. It's basically a country song.
― n/a, Sunday, 19 August 2007 13:44 (seventeen years ago)
When I have timed myself on the treadmill (I usually do the 5K program) I average a 12 minute mile--I don't dip below 5 MPH, and I go up to 7 or 8 for a minute or 2 at a time. 5K is more than enough for me.
― Jesse, Sunday, 19 August 2007 14:29 (seventeen years ago)
I need to find motivational running music. So far I have found that In Utero is the best for running ("Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle" is good for motivating me in a high speed push, as is "Scentless Apprentice") but I am afraid I'm going to wear it out.
― Jesse, Sunday, 19 August 2007 14:31 (seventeen years ago)
I'm interested. We've actually been working on a song that was written by T0ny S@ck3tt (of W@rm On3s), and while it's sometimes hard for me to maintain the same level of investment in his song than in the ones I've written myself (since for me, the best part of being in a band is seeing stuff you randomly made up become actual songs performed in front of people), it's still a good song, and it takes us so long to write songs that having a whole structure just given to us (even though we still have to come up with arrangements) is welcome.
― jaymc, Sunday, 19 August 2007 15:00 (seventeen years ago)
Well, being sick is good for losing weight at least. For 3 days I've had barely any appetite and have been reminding myself to eat, and I'm down 3 lbs from my last known weight. And it's not water weight, since I've been chugging pint after pint of water and juice.
Worth it? I kind of think so.
― Jesse, Sunday, 19 August 2007 17:04 (seventeen years ago)
This is extreme.
― Jeff, Sunday, 19 August 2007 17:06 (seventeen years ago)
I just want a runner's physique.
― Jeff, Sunday, 19 August 2007 17:16 (seventeen years ago)
Wow. Interesting, but so dumb. I mean it's encouraging to know the limits of what a body can do, but even a fraction of what he's doing will have a net effect of damaging the body.
I liked the Krazy Glue recommendation though.
― Jesse, Sunday, 19 August 2007 17:18 (seventeen years ago)
I'd rather just work myself to death and keep a bad cold. My 4 pack is at about a 4.25 today.
― Jesse, Sunday, 19 August 2007 17:19 (seventeen years ago)
August: Osage County was great, btw. Jesse, you should find a way to go if you can (I think it closes next weekend). The letter from the artistic director in the program contains the following passage:
"The patriarch is an academic and a poet. And an alcoholic. The matriarch is a wife and a mother. And a drug addict. Does this recall that other towering family of American drama, the family of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night? Does the exchange of insult and dependence in the Weston family recall the pact between Martha and George in another great American drama, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? So be it. These allusions ... are being consciously invoked by Tracy to encourage our reading of August as a drama of not only one family, the Westons, idiosyncratic in their personalities and relationships, but also our reading of the Westons as emblematic of a characteristically American family."
― jaymc, Sunday, 19 August 2007 18:11 (seventeen years ago)
I would rather be fat than sick right now.
― Jordan, Sunday, 19 August 2007 18:37 (seventeen years ago)
i.e., I finally succumbed to the cold I've been fighting all week and I hate it. Last night was worth it though, KJSL got offered the New Year's Eve gig at the place we played.
― Jordan, Sunday, 19 August 2007 18:39 (seventeen years ago)
Thanks John, I'll make a note of it.
― Jesse, Sunday, 19 August 2007 18:50 (seventeen years ago)
fat is definitely better than sick. crazy Jesse.
