Chicago: Shockingly Prompt

That should make for some interesting remix titles.

i think we already came up with names for like the next three records but i forgot them all. eric don't forget that you make music and albums too, don't give all the good names away

OK, I will write that record then. I may need a rock band to back me on the closing track.

Proposed track listing for next FFs record, based on one post from Kevin earlier today:

hidden track: noon on sundays.

4) Do not pull your jeans up over your knee as it is swelling. It will be difficult and painful to take your pants off later.

so you injured yourself while pantsless huh? i think we know who had the best weekend.

Here is the disco/funk band from that ILM thread: http://www.myspace.com/codebreaker

some things transcend language, i.e. deej is packing some SERIOUS heat.

si

yeah, i recommend green mill. last time i was there we watched this blazing chick in the front row make out with her not-so-attractive boyfriend for like an entire set. crazy.

xp, nice

i kind of want to do something fun ... and active? pool maybe? ping pong? i dunno.

on the other hand green mill is east = near lake which is fun for walking and bullshitting*

*with esp-eng dictionary

air hockey

se habla (un poco), deej?

(obv I am quite rusty)

i speak less spanish than she speaks english

I totally enjoyed using Spanish last week. I was in kind of an enviable position, though, since I was able to bullshit in Spanish to a waiter, cab driver, or tour guide, and then if I didn't understand their response, Krista would just translate for me. We had a tour guide at Machu Picchu who spoke only broken English, so we said "go ahead and do it in Spanish." She spoke pretty slowly and clearly, so I actually picked up the gist of most of what she said, which was nice.

maybe i should get a girlfriend who speaks spanish to go on this daet with me

going to language school in Mexico for ~3 mos. is one of the top options on my list of Things to do with my Severance Package

threesome w/translator

yes
or i could accompany you and translate, $25/hr

(threesome NOT INCL)

how much more would that be?

joeks, not always funny.

well, it's depend.

I'm imagining Deej and his chica on a couch, Amanda in an armchair nearby translating.

well, it's depend.

classic!

honestly, assess her english abilities.
i'm curious.

could she: disagree with you if you said something she didn't agree with?
could she: speak in a string of 3+ sentences?
could she: tell a story in the past tense?
could she: talk about hypothetical situations?
could she: make joeks?

if so her command of the english language far out strips my own.

where is she from?

Guatemala

could she: disagree with you if you said something she didn't agree with? depends how clear i am in saying it
could she: speak in a string of 3+ sentences? hmm
could she: tell a story in the past tense? hmm
could she: talk about hypothetical situations? hmm
could she: make joeks? yes

How late is the zoo open?

zoo break-in is a good daet activity

her name isn't jenny, is it? (just wondering, because if she were my student i would flip OUT)

more questions:
does she use must/can/could/would?
does she use past/present/future?
does her vocabulary extend past what she needs for work?

if your answer to any of these questions is "si" i think her english will be ok for your date. she probably could use someone to practice with!

Deej (pointing): Rhino.
Chica: Rhino.
Deej: Polar bear.
Chica: Oso polar.
Deej: Penguin.
Chica: Pingüino.
Penguin: Haga su movimiento, hombre.

por favor

yes exactly. Two trains, or a train and a bus ride, and either way a good long walk to and from... that is a car place.

i guess we all learned something here today

something about sensitivity to others' feelings

something about inadequate public transportation. :(

YOU HURT MY FEELING!! I'VE ONLY GOT ONE BUT YOU HURT THAT ONE!!!

can i borrow a feeling?

I went to City North for the first time the other day. 1:10 worth of bus travel, on one leg of which a guy and girl got into a fist fight punched each other in the mouth.

Whoah, Chicago has ALL the excitement.

She wanted to see Deception, he was adamant about Harold and Kumar.

Ha.

The guy got kicked off the bus. What a fracas. He pulled her hair, then she she got mad, he immobilized her so she couldn't hurt him. Then the real drama started.

immobilized?

plus there's the whole "four more hours of work" thing to contend with.

This Cut Copy record is getting me through the rest of my shortened day. Bliss!

the transition into rodents should be easy enough... how are laurel's bath rats doing lately?

i missed the story about bath rats. my own mousie hasn't showed up since dobs took him/her out to play that one time.

rats are big
their tails are totally unacceptable

I would ask for a delete, but that's just me. I would also ask for a delete of the post asking whether you should delete.

alphahydroxy acids - from what i understand, don't bother, there are plenty of "home remedies" for wrinkles that are way better. Squeeze an orange on your face every couple of weeks, that's an exfoliant and there's no theories about how it might kill you one day.

I signed up for RCN cable internet. $16.95 a month for a year. They were nice enough. The rep told me there would be a $44.95 install charge, and I said, "Can we waive that?" and a few clicks later it was lowered to $24.95.

"immobilize" = holding her arms by her side and ignoring her screaming, "LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" for about 10 minutes.

jesse, we've been pretty happy with RCN so far.

the internet at my office is so unreliable, verizon actually makes comcast look good. there's another company with the same name (it's a common greek word, apparently) in new england somewhere that didn't pay their verizon bill last year. they cut us off and insisted we paid the $5000 we owed. this went on for months, with no internet, of course, while we provided ample evidence that we were not the same as the late-paying people. and the service is down every few weeks. they stayed with them because verizon was the only provider allowed in the building, and now comcast is coming in and even though i loathe them, i think we should switch.

poor toby is sitting on a runway in newark. (airplane, not fashion)

I think I go to City North 14 maybe once a year. Webster Place even less than that (last thing I saw there may have been Match Point with you guys). I see a lot of stuff at Landmark Century and Century Cinema in Evanston, River East 21 is good for after-work movies that Kr has no interest in seeing, and I probably see at least a couple of movies a year at the Music Box and the Davis, too.

New thread perhaps?

i 2nd dan's new thread idea.

this fucker is too unwieldy when i have to load all the messages to look for something anyway.

Chicago is an October Sort of City Even in Spring
