Of course I do. Then I just have to concentrate harder. Or ask Kr for help when I get home.

I don't know who Joey Greco is, but I'm sort of weirded out now by the fact that you sometimes call me Lil' J.

We meant to tell you guys earlier. Sorry, Nick.
― Eazy, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:24 (seventeen years ago) link
Eazy and Sarah Jammerman had a baby?!
xpost
― Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:24 (seventeen years ago) link
Yeah, I like the name! Although I don't know if it is pronounced with an E sound or an I sound. Also, I had a dream last night that we were hanging out with the baby in Cr1ss3y 6 and K3rry wouldn't shut up about The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
― jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link
It can be playmates with mine and 3van's kid.
― Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link
I'm going to go post that on their blog now.
I just emailed eric to congratulate him & ask for tips on how to pronounce it. That is a HILARIOUS dream, dude!
― sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:26 (seventeen years ago) link
I know, right? Like I said on the blog: "...he kept interjecting to talk about how everything we were doing and saying would've been scripted if it were a "Fresh Prince" episode."
― jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link
it's pronounced with a hard E. So, K-eye-lee
― sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link
You mean a hard I.
― jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link
Yes. i is tired.
― sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link
It's like Ms. Minogue, essentially. Not what I expected, either! I thought "ie" would be pronounced as in "believe" instead of as in "cried."
― jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:37 (seventeen years ago) link
that kid is nothin' but last names. apparently it's eric's mom's maiden name.
― sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link
K!3ly is not in the top 1000 names for any year of birth in the last 150 years.
― jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link
shocka.
― sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link
"K!3ly" pronounced like Minogue means your parents are bad spellers. That's embarrassing.

that would be more correct, yes
― kenan, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:50 (seventeen years ago) link
I don't think it's bad spelling if it's the kid's grandma's maiden name! Still, I do think she'll be subject to having her name mispronounced for most of her life.
― jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:57 (seventeen years ago) link
yeah, i guess it's nobody's fault.
― kenan, Friday, 3 August 2007 22:00 (seventeen years ago) link
Sounds like great-grandpa's fault if you ask me.
― Eazy, Friday, 3 August 2007 22:02 (seventeen years ago) link
For not changing the spelling of his last name?
― jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 22:03 (seventeen years ago) link
Oh, it's his last name? I thought it was the first. Then it's the fault of the gatekeepers at Ellis Island for not Americanizing their name so that the kid in 2012 kindergarten won't have a hard time.
― Eazy, Friday, 3 August 2007 22:07 (seventeen years ago) link
What a day.

Blackberry's really do drive me crazy.
It's like Oak Park thinks they are too good for the Chicago numbering system.
actually nick this dates back to before chicago had annexed the village of austin (now the austin neighborhood, but previously it's own town) to when the city limits were miles to the east. a lot of western burbs changed their numbering systems when chicago began annexing surrounding locales, oak park did not wish to be annexed and never changed. you may also notice that division is the 800N block in oak park as well as they use lake st. as the dividing point for north and south.

I r bored on a weekend nite again. I think I'm going to go to Sm.Bar in a while if anyone's interested.

I had a fancy wristband to go to a priv party at the Hideout with T. Leo and the main Spoon guy DJ-ing but did not go, nor did I go to The Go, but I saw Sicko (v. good) and talked with good friends.
Kevin, is this your stuff?
― Eazy, Saturday, 4 August 2007 06:56 (seventeen years ago) link
Spoon guy is a notorious dick, anyway.

I had to wake my neighbor up this morning because I locked my keys in the laundry room. I really hope this is the dumbest thing I do all day.

The first one she did was something about mini-sundaes. I don't know what the second one was.

― chicago kevin, Sunday, 5 August 2007 22:50 (seventeen years ago) link
OK, I can get that someone might use quotes for "emphasis" (I can't remember if italics or boldface are options on Craigslist--even if they aren't, you still have CAPS) for key words like "vintage" and "now," but why "view" or "schedule"??
― Jesse, Monday, 6 August 2007 00:40 (seventeen years ago) link
"walk" to metra, like there is a large contingent in the neighborhood who do summersaults down western to the train or something. "view" the apartment seems to indicate you really won't see it, maybe they'll just drive by the place with you and slow down. "schedule" perhaps means they won't really show up and the nudge and wink implied by "after" august 8th says to me that there still may be tenants residing there when you move in.
― chicago kevin, Monday, 6 August 2007 02:08 (seventeen years ago) link
Even the "vintage" is scary.
― Jesse, Monday, 6 August 2007 02:46 (seventeen years ago) link
"vintage" = decrepit in my experience.
