Sorry I have been virtually absent for two weeks. I'll try to keep up now that work has moved into the slow time.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:32 (twenty years ago)

No one should have to apologize for their lack of ILX-ing.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)

Isn't that an awesome album cover? It's their disco album, from 1979. Gets one star on AMG.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:35 (twenty years ago)

It is, indeed.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:37 (twenty years ago)

Does anyone want my black bean soup recipe? Because I have to tell you: it's really good. I wish I had the sort of house that could accomodate a large dinner party so I could cook for bunches of people all the time.

Were there any singles from Chicago 13?

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

None that charted. Apparently, it was a big whirlpool of suck, and if there were any justice in the world, Peter Cetera would have offed himself before this was ever even conceived.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:41 (twenty years ago)

Manda, I'd like that recipe. I love Crescent Dragonwagon's Cuban Black Bean Soup recipe, but I'm always interested in other black bean recipes.

jordan, i'm pretty sure i mentioned galactic pizza as a place to hit in minneapolis. maybe not. regardless, i'm a giant fan of their food, philosphy & costume wear.

kenan: you *did* hang out with public radio people. you totally met me for lunch that one time during my internship, remember? also, i realize i don't really count as a public radio person, but i am sometimes. sort of. does that count for something?!

p.s. please say yes as it's been a very stressful day.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:43 (twenty years ago)

kelsey, you rock, radio or no.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

food, philosphy & costume wear.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:45 (twenty years ago)

hey kelsey, remember when that girl tried to chat you up because she considered you well-connected? yeah. you're in there.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:46 (twenty years ago)

what?! i can't say that?!

― kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:46 (twenty years ago)

thanks kenan, by the way.

oh! and amanda!

― kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:46 (twenty years ago)

I just didn't know what you meant? Costume wear? Are they all dressed up or something?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

That's what I said, they dress up in SUPERHERO COSTUMES and roam the city!

Kelsey, I must have missed your mentions of that place before, but it sounds awesome. Surely a good reason to move there.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:56 (twenty years ago)

if you look at the homepage, you'll see the typical bright blue legging things they wear. also: capes.
when leaf & I had one of their pizzas delivered, they did it on bicycle. then again, leaf lives mere blocks from galactic pizza!!!

― kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

Bizarre.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:58 (twenty years ago)

yet wonderful.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:59 (twenty years ago)

Oh yes.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 29 August 2005 17:59 (twenty years ago)

you're all like pixies or something

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

Ignore this if you're not interested in soup:

(First, there is no recipe, really, i don't think. my friend told me about the orange juice part from the moosewood cookbook.)

Cut up some red bell pepper and onion. Usually one of each. Saute it in some olive oil with a small spoonful of chopped garlic for a few minutes, until it's sorta mushy.

Add
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup orange juice
1 spoonful of cumin
1/4-1/2 teaspoon of either cayenne pepper or ground chipotle pepper or the spice element of your choice. use more or less depending on what you like. i like it spicy.

Cook for a while, then either use a hand blender and blend it in the pot or use a cup and blend small batches in a regular blender. Put it back in the pot. Add a handful/cupful of frozen corn. (after blending) Cook some more. Add other stuff if you want.

Add salt if you want. Eat. It's spicy and sweet and good the next day. And easy to make. And cheap. This will make enough soup for three modest servings.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

(Hey Kels, did you read my article?)

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:02 (twenty years ago)

i did.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:04 (twenty years ago)

(And?)

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:07 (twenty years ago)

(Er, e-mail me if you like.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

i dunno. it feels too weird to read about myself.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:11 (twenty years ago)

Yeah.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:13 (twenty years ago)

that was funny. you guys are having this awkward conversation and i'm in the corner shouting about bean soup.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:17 (twenty years ago)

haha.

I sang this with a group of guys for a "cabaret night" in high school. I guess I should mention this on the Gay Musicals thread.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:31 (twenty years ago)

ha! dan was in a barbershop quartet in high school too and i've not yet let him hear the end of it.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:33 (twenty years ago)

I have met exactly one Chicago public radioperson, and that is Gr3t(h3n H3lfr!(h. She's saucy. You totally care about this announcement.

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:35 (twenty years ago)

i wanna read jaymc's article about kelsey. is it up on the interweb?

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:37 (twenty years ago)

ack. it makes me sound like i was really difficult to converse with.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:44 (twenty years ago)

You are difficult to converse with, but only because everyone gets lost in your eyes and flustered.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:45 (twenty years ago)

i don't remember how to do the fancy link thing:

why kenan! i believe that comment belongs on the flirty thread!

um, thanks!

― kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:47 (twenty years ago)

Do you guys ever listen to DJ Lil John on WGCI 107.5 fridays @ 5pm? Cuz you should, you know. I bought one of his mixes at gr@m@ph0n3, we played it at n@te dey0ung's farewell party and it was awesome. I'm still sore from dancing.

― deej.., Monday, 29 August 2005 18:48 (twenty years ago)

deej, i picture your life as one non-stop dance party. is this far from the truth?

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:52 (twenty years ago)

Happy birthday, Sarah!!!! It sounds like you had a good weekend and I am very happy that you did!

― pullapartgirl (pullapartgirl), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

Kelsey, you were just in a particular place at that time in your life. I was, too. It's not meant to make you look bad.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

kelsey --

i get lost.. in your eyes--and I feel my spirits rise

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:57 (twenty years ago)

...like the wind, is this love that i am in?

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 29 August 2005 19:00 (twenty years ago)

xp I mean, I don't even remember what that argument was about, tbh.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 29 August 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

Skipping 1792 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

probably better to be a bit too paranoid about such things than too casual with personal stuff when you're presenting your portfolio. (so, yeah, what everyone else is saying). the ilx link probably is best done without as well.

looks really good! (well, yeah, that too, what everyone else is saying xp)

― Juulia (julesbdules), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:29 (twenty years ago)

HEY: what happened to giboyeux? Is he still lurking around? We met him that one time and then he disappeared. Did we frighten him?

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:31 (twenty years ago)

Jordan -- that was an hour??

Yeah! A CRAZY hour!

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:32 (twenty years ago)

the ilx link probably is best done without as well.

yeah, i think removing the ILX link is a splendid idea.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)

Hm. I wonder how I can work this. I've kinda built it INTO the site. You guys are right, though. I don't want God and everybody reading my website.

But I don't have another server. I suppose I could put it up on Bookslut. Would that be weird?

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:37 (twenty years ago)

I think it's time for http://www.hirekenan.com.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:41 (twenty years ago)

Thing is, I've done so little writing on this site that I could easily back up the database and delete anything that's not tech-y. I kinda DO want people poking around the site, just to see the structure of it and all. I built it, and I'm proud of it. I am not especially proud of the writing. The blog exists just to be designed.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

I would hesitate to put anything work-related on a website with the word "slut" in its name.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

I think Jessa and I have diametrically opposing tastes in a lot of reading material.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:45 (twenty years ago)

i think you should put the commercial stuff in the front and the more personal "fun" stuff toward the bottom, since cars dot com is fairly conservative in its design, from what i can tell. they're probably looking for someone who can be flexible in that regard, with more- and less-commercial looking stuff.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

ps - i don't know squat about design.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

im coming late into this poetry convo.. but this is a scrap of one of my favorite poems, "time zone" by brenda hillman

--I hate being out of your time zone.
It hurts like being matter
when light got called away, at first,
... first we were darkness, then we were galaxies,
traveling too fast too far for me to call

throughout all that space goodbye
my twin my half
of the light, goodbye my little bit famous--

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

xpost Good suggestions all.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:49 (twenty years ago)

mango + cayenne pepper + salt is so good it honestly makes me feel a little bit drunk.

i only put stuff on it if it's a little underripe, which this one was.

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:58 (twenty years ago)

Amanda -- have you had the pico de gallo at Rique's? I was telling Kenan about this the other day: mango, jicama, cucumber, cayenne pepper, and lime juice.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:00 (twenty years ago)

I think Jessa and I have diametrically opposing tastes in a lot of reading material.

Oh no. You not another Candace Bushnell fan, are you?

There there. We can get through this together. *hugs*

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

Amanda -- have you had the pico de gallo at Rique's? I was telling Kenan about this the other day: mango, jicama, cucumber, cayenne pepper, and lime juice.
I sure haven't, but DAMN that sounds good. I have a cucumber in the fridge here and I should have eaten it together with the mango. Unless that's obscene?

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:05 (twenty years ago)

No, I don't like Candace Bushnell, but a lot of Jessa's comic reviewers just seem too...earnest and too interested in indie stuff and seem to have the FEAR of DC and Marvel titles. I guess I'm just used to the tone of ILC. I think Maddie would be a good addition, so that she can enlighten everyone about Dino-Rachel.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:11 (twenty years ago)

Rique's pico de gallo is so easy to make at home, even I have done a decent job of it.

Kelsey, I bought some of the deodorant you were talking about at Lush today.

― pullapartgirl (pullapartgirl), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:13 (twenty years ago)

what do you think (so far)?

― kelsey (kelstarry), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

That might be the only issue, is that Jessa's stance seems to be "review comics on the same level as normal books, without all the fanboy baggage". That's cool, but when you like mainstream stuff (as Maddie does) you can't discount continuity completely.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

Hey, guys!

I've been so busy the past couple of days at work. I guess that's what happens when you have a 3-day work week after a 4-day weekend.

Today at lunch, CIH was talking about her daughter non-stop, who just started at a very private, fancy pants high school. Apparently, she's REALLY popular, but also open-minded, so she's not mean to the geeks. And her mom (CIH) advised her not to go with any of the geeks to the upcoming dance (because they will obviously all ask her), but not to be too hard on them, because geeks are smart and she might need them on her side to help her study at some point.

I got food from L0ve's for lunch.

― Kittens Licking Cakes (coco), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

I was actually going to maybe get some of the henna shampoo you got last time even though i've fallen in love with the blue seaweedy one & i'm now out of it.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:16 (twenty years ago)

And her mom (CIH) advised her not to go with any of the geeks to the upcoming dance (because they will obviously all ask her), but not to be too hard on them, because geeks are smart and she might need them on her side to help her study at some point.

!!!

...

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:18 (twenty years ago)

I'm sure all the geeks are just drooling over her and can't see past her facade.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:21 (twenty years ago)

(Kenan, I'm not trying to hate on Jessa or Bookslut, I do enjoy reading it, but I just think our tastes clash sometimes.)

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:23 (twenty years ago)

Kelsey - I haven't used it yet, but it's making my locker smell really nice right now!

― pullapartgirl (pullapartgirl), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:24 (twenty years ago)

Kelsey, how were the deadlifts? I did a leg workout for the first time in like a month yesterday and today walking is a biiiig chore.

― dan m (OutDatWay), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:25 (twenty years ago)

Continuing from the portrait trend a couple of days ago, here's a picture of me and Stevie Nicks:

HA! Nick! I didn't think it was possible to love you more, but now I do!

― Kittens Licking Cakes (coco), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

I saw that.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

Very well done, dude.

― dan m (OutDatWay), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

you guys are making my stomach hurt. it's full of salt, sugar and cayenne pepper, which doesn't mix well with gutbusters like that.

jenny, you have a locker? do you have a picture of scott baio in it?

― The Milkmaid (of Human Kindness) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:41 (twenty years ago)

< / pda >

I had a total OH GOD NO! moment a little while ago. I was making 700 copies on 2 different kinds of letterhead. When I returned, this thread was open on my desktop. I usually at least minimize it. Plus, it was showing my newest post again because there were several x-posts when I tried to submit it before. So, basically, anyone who walked by my desk in the past 15 minutes or so could have read what I said about CIH, and it would have been completely obvious who I was talking about. But no one said anything. And CIH is clueless. *BIG BREATH*

I've said it before and I'll say it again: J hates me. Even if she doesn't, she doesn't like vegetarians or people who read romcoms. Check and check! I haven't read any C.B., but I enjoyed watching SITC.

― Kittens Licking Cakes (coco), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:44 (twenty years ago)

I did them . . . but only with 20lbs. b/c I wanted to make sure my form was good. I can tell that they are going to awesomely kick my ass in the best way possible though. I think they might be my new favorite thing.
I also more than doubled my bench press weight, which I felt pretty excited about. Not that I lifted much to begin with, mind you. I'm a baby lifter.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

Kelsey, I can totally see you as a mom with twins lifting them like weights in your hands.

I'M TIRED OF STAPLING THESE LETTERS! IS IT THE WEEKEND YET?!!

― Kittens Licking Cakes (coco), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:48 (twenty years ago)

I have an even worse vice than Candace B. called REGENCY ROMANCE NOVELS. There. I said it. My friend Colleen and I used to read 'em like candy in college, but then purge ourselves by drinking red wine and talking about Marxism and such.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:48 (twenty years ago)

Also, how come Brokefuckingback Mountain isn't coming out until December?!! I felt like going to see it tonight.

Joce, you should write an over-the-top cheesy romance novel about marxists.

― Kittens Licking Cakes (coco), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:49 (twenty years ago)

My current fave trashy reads are James Ellroy novels, which aren't THAT trashy, but are really violent and are all exactly the same.

Speaking of Scott Baio, he's going to be on the new season of Arrested Development, which starts in 10 days!

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:51 (twenty years ago)

FYI: I would not recommend image-Googling "gay cowboy."

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:53 (twenty years ago)

Kenan, I hope my post didn't offend you. It's just that when my mom and sister were here, she passed us in the street and I was like, "HEY! HoW'S IT GOING?!" and she kept walking without saying anything. So then my mom and sister didn't believe me when I said I knew her and thought I was crazy for yelling at a stranger like that. THE END.

x-post - No way, Nick!

― Kittens Licking Cakes (coco), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:53 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I am working on one. It involves politics in the Austro-Hungarian empire and British empire in the 1850s. With lots of added SEX.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:53 (twenty years ago)

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― Kittens Licking Cakes (coco), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:55 (twenty years ago)

the cheering was for AD. I just can't wait.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

Ha, awesome.

I'm getting all amped up about this show tonight. I realized that I'm thinking of it as my symbol that everything is going to work out for New Orleans after all, after the misery of the last couple weeks.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

Yay for that too!

― Kittens Licking Cakes (coco), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:57 (twenty years ago)

My sister's boyfriend looks exactly like SCott B.

― Kittens Licking Cakes (coco), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:58 (twenty years ago)

I made a new thread.

Chicago XIV

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:59 (twenty years ago)

Ok, I have scoured my blog archives. There is no longer any mention of work, girlfriends, kittens, Ben Affleck, or anything else. It's mostly now about photography and web design.

And Chicago. It's also about Chicago. But nothing personal. I think it will be ok. And it's so pretty!
