You mean a hard I.

Yes. i is tired.

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."

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.

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.

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.

Chicago's "cozy" summertime weather.

I dreamed that I went back in time and was hanging out with Prince when he was in high school. He was lookin pretty greasy back then, in case you didn't know.

"Good" Morning.
I posted an ad for a bass on craigslist and I might actually sell it tonight, which means I won't go in the red before payday. WOO HA.
― KitCat, Monday, 6 August 2007 13:43 (seventeen years ago) link
:(
That sucks. I feel that, though.
― kenan, Monday, 6 August 2007 13:50 (seventeen years ago) link
Wait. What sucks? I WON'T Go into the red. This is GOOD.
― KitCat, Monday, 6 August 2007 13:54 (seventeen years ago) link
Is it the big heavy bass?
― Jordan, Monday, 6 August 2007 13:55 (seventeen years ago) link
Oh, I thought it was bad news to sell a guitar.
― kenan, Monday, 6 August 2007 13:55 (seventeen years ago) link
You've got another bass, right?
― Eazy, Monday, 6 August 2007 13:56 (seventeen years ago) link
Yep, Jordan.
It IS a pretty bass, but it's too heavy for me anyway. PLUS, Nick has the exact same bass in a different color, so it's kind of silly that we have both anyway. If I didn't need the money, I would keep it I suppose, but it's not like I'm selling my pink SG or anything.
Yeah, Nick's got a bass and I've got the sparkly one.
― KitCat, Monday, 6 August 2007 13:57 (seventeen years ago) link
Anyone else who liked McLusky should really check out Future of the Left. It is the new band that has the singer and drummer from McLusky, and it is really awesome. Sounds a lot like McLusky, but maybe slightly poppier? Really really good.
― n/a, Monday, 6 August 2007 13:58 (seventeen years ago) link
It would not be a "good" morning otherwise. I'd have to be REALLY bad off to sell my sparkly bass.
Nick, I put that on my ipod this morning but then couldn't remember what they were called so I couldn't find it when I was browsing the artists. THE DUMBEST!!!
― KitCat, Monday, 6 August 2007 13:59 (seventeen years ago) link
Listening to Le Show this morning on the way to work, and KCRW left the pledge drive in there for the podcast. All of it. So, literally half the show was gone. Not that I can listen to Harry Shearer drone on forever, and GOD the comedy bits are so so bad, but he does read news I might otherwise have missed. I like it when he reads the trades. Anyway, no show this week, just a pledge drive. :(
― kenan, Monday, 6 August 2007 13:59 (seventeen years ago) link
Nick: hot tip. Thanks.
There are a few songs on the myspace page, to which I linked.
