Chicago: customers are advised to allow extra travel time

wtf greenlips

ha ha ha
What photo did you use, Jordan??

apparently one where he was deathly ill

In an issue of Gentlemen's Quarterly that I read last week, they had two photos of Horatio Sanz and showed how tucking in one's shirt benefitted the appearance of the larger man.

That's to show that I'm red/green colorblind!

yeah, but being a slob is all part of being a fat slob

Ok, sorry for the old question, but what do I need to do exactly to show my i-tunes songs on gmail?

I am listening to "Gaucho" on vinyl. In a couple of hours I'm going to check out the MLS program at that college. Crazy!

Have an IM client that 1. supports gchat and 2. cooperates with iTunes. It's much easier if you have a Mac.

Ah well. It's a PC at work, and I don't go online that much at home. Guess it wasn't meant to be.

I will just TELL YOU.
I'm listening to When Doves Cry right now.

i was nearly expecting part of the vadge wall to be inside that fish's mouth.

Nick is having a smartypants day.

NICK If you wanna talk about MLS you should talk to my Dan. He got his papers from UIUC. Unless you're committed to going to Gaucho University...

I listened to When Doves Cry like 3x yesterday!

I am listening to the new Richard Thompson, which I like just fine, stop making fun of me, it's not dad rock, ok fine eat me.

I am taking a class on sunday to learn how to make my own clothes!!

Are you going to make clothes out of sound art?

ha! two different classes but i like the way you think, homey.

ooo jealous

i wish i had the patience for that. i know i know practice blablabla but i keep thinking that if i were to excel/be competent at sewing i would have had to produce something more than a stuffed kangaroo* by now.

*made in 8th grade in home ec class

sound art clothes sounds a little skimpy

CLOTHES OF THE FUUUUTTTUUURRREEEE

My sisters and I are doing the $15 xmas present and then a homemade gift again this year. I can't decide what to make. HOW CAN I TOP MONKEYS??

One of my current bandmates is a Richard Thompson fan.

lol penis spam: Chicks always whooped at me and even gentlemans did in the urban water closet!

This just in!
Holiday by Madonna is a long song.

I have been meaning to make you something, actually. It probably won't happen very soon, but when it does WATCH OUT!

I'm going to make a purse to take to a wedding since I can't find one to match my dress. Sarah, bags are EASY to make!

i was asked what i do way upthread, then disappeared - i am researcher/production scheduling assistant/office admin/writer for a non-profit and also do freelance writing (lol ilm) so anything writing/secretarial/research oriented? i dont know what this is considered. bullshit office job?

Amanda, the only reason I'm committed to Gaucho University is that it's the only Chicago-area program with ALA accreditation, and I don't want to move.

Really, K? I gave J0dy this idea for her towel printing project, but...
For a while now, I've wanted some sort of bag to hang on a hook in my
bedroom where I would put delicates that need to be hand washed. I
have lots of lingerie, but it would especially be nice to have in the
winter for my bazillions of pairs of tights that need to be washed by
hand. That way I wouldn't have to find them all in my dirty clothes
when I'm ready for them. So basically I was thinking it would be cute
to make some lingerie bags.
Maybe I could make those myself and also make some for mom and sisters.

I like Richard Thompson/FC/Richard+Linda. He good. One of the only non-trad songs Shirley Collins sang was a Richard Thompson song -- 'Never Again.' Beautiful.

I just had a sort of bad experience making a "square" for this "support pillow" for my preggers friend. I was overwhelmed by pressure and realized I do not like to produce on demand. When inspiration calls, I answer, but sometimes I just want to scream COUNT ME OUT OF THIS MESS. Anyway my square was an abomination and I felt bad about myself after mailing it off. Who needs that shit.

PS NICK YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MOVE ASK ME ABOUT THIS

"Dad's Gonna Kill Me" is a great, great war song. And he sounds more like Nick Cave than ever on it, not just the voice, but the buzzard plucking out dead men's eyes and stuff... it's a little on the dark side.

OK Amanda I am asking you.

I emailed you already so as not to bore people.

Sarah you could totally do that! I made some shoe bags for myself (so that I can shove my shoes in my bike bags w/o getting everything messed up) and I'm guessing you would just make a slightly larger version of that. I closed with a plastic toggle & cord but honestly, zippers aren't difficult either. The other thing you could do is buy ready-made bags you like & embroider something fun on those . . .

do you have a sewing machine or are you looking to do stuff by hand?

I should have taken you to my favorite crafty peoples store when you & nick were in town!!

By hand!

My craftiness is very limited. I'm excited by that stuff but suck at it. I can only handle really small projects.

Deej, if you want to help a thriving nonprofit org apply and get some grants and get paid on a commission basis, if that's anything that suits you, I might have a lead.

ha!

Eric is an old black man with pink hair.

Eric: where should a group of 8 eat dinner in st. paul?

I emailed you already so as not to bore people.

I would not be bored by this.

I think that you could totally make those bags by hand. It will take a bit longer, obviously, but they would be so charming! You can do a draw string closure or a button or anything like that. I would avoid a zipper w/o a machine only because frustration could run high but it's do-able. Or explore the world of embroidery! You could do hankies or napkins or lingerie bags or travel laundry bags (one could be for "clean" and the other could be for "dirty" or something like that). . . . or kitchen towels or pillowcases . . .

I'll forward you the email, how about that?

Khyber Pass or, if you want to splurge, Heartland is fantastic ($30 for three-course prix fixe veg menu - maybe higher on weekend nights, but very good value for what you get). Other than that, Dara Moskowitz knows best.

You know those bags you put bags in? That are cloth and gathered at the ends like a piece of wrapped candy? Maybe I could find some blank ones and then put a design on them somehow.

THANK YOU!!! I knew you'd have some good options. Sadly, one of the people we're eating with is the pickiest eater I've met since my 5 year old self, so I'll leave it up to her.

Also: I'm totally on your team wrt Dara. She's awesome.

I just read her recent review of Dave & Busters. I mean, here is this James Beard award-winning food writer, really knows her way around cooking and wine, and she goes to this place and has a great time. I really can't think of a music writer equivalent of her. She's the best.
