Our laptop wouldn't run away. Nick gives it alot of attention (especially since he's been playing this old computer game on it).

he loves it too much

kenan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

he may have loved it to death.

kenan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

like I almost did when I was 4 and had a pet duck.

kenan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Whatever, Lenny.

Laurel, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:15 (seventeen years ago) link

The rabbits we're gonna get... I get to tend 'em.

kenan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm going to chill out the rest of the day. It will be a fun night. Hope to see some of you at the show! (also, if mula is a factor for anyone, I can get someone on the guest list, just call my cell early)

omfg it's hot outside

kenan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi. I have 20 min. till quittin' time.

Jesse, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link

a regular 9 to fiver!

kenan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link

It's definitely awful outside, and the a/c in the building is not keeping up.

Jesse, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, it's stupid, retarded hot. Weather.com says it's 90 and it "feels like" 102. Whatever you think of heat indexes, 12 degrees of added value is indicative of something... something sinister.

kenan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

perhaps more sinister than Ferris Bueller

kenan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Thank God I'm not *just* doing 9-5 and I still get to pick up restaurant shifts, because I'm still on a cash-based personal budget. Which reminds me...payroll has yet to sign me up--oh wait, *I'm* payroll...

Jesse, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

i am withering in this heat. have since retreated indoors to ac after spending a sweltering few hours wandering around the crotch, ducking in and out of stores to stay cool.

robotsinlove, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

the crotch?

kenan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link

north/milwaukee/damen

robotsinlove, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

oh yeah, i've heard that before.

kenan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:47 (seventeen years ago) link

that's a great name.

hi, mark!

sweet tater, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:47 (seventeen years ago) link

So what, does that make like Ak|ra the taint?

dan m, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I will be here until 9 tonight, if anyone wants to hang out with me. :>

Jordan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know what Ak|ra is, either.

kenan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:53 (seventeen years ago) link

In an AIM conversation like 2 seconds ago, I told a friend that I'm going to be here until at least 7.

dan m, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I like my version a lot better.

kenan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 21:59 (seventeen years ago) link

So, Jordan, working late sucks, eh?

dan m, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 22:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Dan. Yeah.

Jordan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 23:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I went out and got my dinner (crappy burger & fries), and ate it, so now the fun part of the evening is over.

Jordan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 23:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't even get to eat until I leave. I scraped up the last bit of hummus from my lunch with a fork 'cause I'm out of pita.

dan m, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 23:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I have baby carrots.

jaymc, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 23:12 (seventeen years ago) link

You should share with Dan.

Jordan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 23:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Argh, now M and K are going to the bar to drink beer and watch soccer :(

dan m, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 23:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I got a call from a friend who wanted to go to dinner, he lives in NYC and I think it's his last night in town. :(

Jordan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 23:25 (seventeen years ago) link

A friend keeps telling me she's going to take me shopping at Akira. Why is there no address on that fucking stupid website?

Jesse, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 23:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Or am *I* the one who is fucking stupid?

Jesse, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 23:44 (seventeen years ago) link

One Yelp reviewer has this to say of Akira:

My guy friend bought a jacket from here for $100. that made him look so hot, I actually considered giving up the poon. Then I came to my senses.

That's a dirty trick Akira for Men.

Jesse, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 23:47 (seventeen years ago) link

The jacket wasn't that great, obv.

Jordan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 23:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Or am *I* the one who is fucking stupid?

OK you're really setting yourself up there.

There are like 4 Akiras in the vicinity of "the Crotch" referenced upthread. Hence me asking if they are the taint. I think they're all on North Ave.

dan m, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 23:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I could never wear anything from their men's store in a million years. Too tall, wide, fat, built, take your pick. Their clothing is made for wee men, even more wee than H&M crap.

dan m, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 23:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I wonder if I could make it work.

Jesse, Thursday, 23 August 2007 00:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm going jean shopping at lame places this weekend, after buying another pair of cheap Levi's that don't really fit and that I don't want to wear.

Jordan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 00:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm still at work.

Jeff, Thursday, 23 August 2007 00:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Just about to go, not soon enough...

Dunno if I'll make the show, I've gone and gotten myself a bit of a headache and I am completely frazzled from my day. I hate getting old.

dan m, Thursday, 23 August 2007 00:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Good.

Jordan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 00:41 (seventeen years ago) link

i need some new jeans.

deej, Thursday, 23 August 2007 00:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Why is there no address on that fucking stupid website?

duh, because if you were cool enough to go there, you'd already know where is was

kenan, Thursday, 23 August 2007 00:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Time and a half rocks. I'd work 80 hours a week if I could.

Jeff, Thursday, 23 August 2007 02:59 (seventeen years ago) link

That's why I hate being a salaried employee, there's no real overtime. That and getting paid monthly.
