Love the opening image, but this is a pretty domesticated thread title.

michael assbender (Eric H.), Friday, 23 September 2011 16:52 (fourteen years ago)

the 20 minutes i spent this morning browsing online shops for cardigans may or may not have had something to do with it

I approve of domesticated cardigans.

Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Friday, 23 September 2011 17:14 (fourteen years ago)

i don't like cardigans :(

lex pretend, Friday, 23 September 2011 17:20 (fourteen years ago)

J0rdan S., Friday, 23 September 2011 17:20 (fourteen years ago)

cardigans are okay but they are kind of weird -- i don't plan on wearing them anymore

prefer sweaters

J0rdan S., Friday, 23 September 2011 17:21 (fourteen years ago)

yeah, sarge, I can't imagine you wearing cardigans with skinny jeans.

So tell us about Chicago life so far.

J0rdan S., Friday, 23 September 2011 17:25 (fourteen years ago)

the thought of wearing a cardigan now is about as savory as licking a cat's face.

Cardigans will start looking delicious in late October or November; the humidity is near 100 percent today.

today when i was walking to work feeling overly chilly i said to myself "ah, it feels like december 27th in miami... except it won't be 65 degrees by noon"

When spring rolls around, weather like today's will mean bars and restaurants opening their fronts, and half-naked hordes of runners, bikers and loiterers descending on the lake shore.

Je55e, Friday, 23 September 2011 19:18 (fourteen years ago)

I hate when people are shitty to others about perceptions of the weather. I hope I didn't come across that way.

Je55e, Friday, 23 September 2011 19:19 (fourteen years ago)

you in your autumn sweater

plax (ico), Friday, 23 September 2011 19:20 (fourteen years ago)

Perception of weather is more correct than actuality of weather. It will feel warmer in the spring and that's it and that's all.

michael assbender (Eric H.), Friday, 23 September 2011 19:25 (fourteen years ago)

i take a lot of pleasure in talking about the weather. it's soothing.

runaway (Matt P), Friday, 23 September 2011 19:36 (fourteen years ago)

I've never worn a cardigan. Also, it's like...finally summer here.

The Reverend, Friday, 23 September 2011 19:36 (fourteen years ago)

Anyway, it's not cold in Chicago today. And if you think it is, then it's time to sack up, ladyboy.

Je55e, Friday, 23 September 2011 20:55 (fourteen years ago)

It's 80 here today. Enjoy your fall weather.

The Reverend, Friday, 23 September 2011 21:21 (fourteen years ago)

84 here :/

sons of menarche (donna rouge), Friday, 23 September 2011 21:33 (fourteen years ago)

and getting up into the 90s next week? ugh.

sons of menarche (donna rouge), Friday, 23 September 2011 21:34 (fourteen years ago)

57° here. Heavenly.

Je55e, Friday, 23 September 2011 22:29 (fourteen years ago)

I feel like I missed summer :( I only got to experience about a month of summer weather this year.

getting a haircut for under $40 in a gay neighborhood is predictably impossible!

J0rdan S., Saturday, 24 September 2011 18:34 (fourteen years ago)

what, are you going to pay $40 for a buzz cut?

corey, Saturday, 24 September 2011 18:44 (fourteen years ago)

FUCK NO

J0rdan S., Saturday, 24 September 2011 18:45 (fourteen years ago)

but also not a buzz cut

J0rdan S., Saturday, 24 September 2011 18:45 (fourteen years ago)

I'll cut your hair for free ^-^

corey, Saturday, 24 September 2011 19:14 (fourteen years ago)

do you know how to cut hair?

J0rdan S., Saturday, 24 September 2011 19:14 (fourteen years ago)

I've been cutting my own hair for years and cut my old roommate's hair fairly often when he still lived here. All I can do is the short back/sides faded thingy.

corey, Saturday, 24 September 2011 19:24 (fourteen years ago)

I buzz my own head. At this point, I am not my hair. (Because my hair is not.)

michael assbender (Eric H.), Saturday, 24 September 2011 19:34 (fourteen years ago)

I cut my own hair and it's fabulous.

The Reverend, Saturday, 24 September 2011 19:46 (fourteen years ago)

my hair looks horrible if I try to do anything with it but buzz it into oblivion

Whatta big faggoty night and morning.

- Went to some friends' gay-themed sketch comedy show (they got picked for Chicago's sketch comedy fest!)

- Reconnected with a guy I went on a couple dates with at the show and over drinks after - it didn't work out btwn us and he has a boyfriend now, but I like hanging out with him, and his boyfriend is awesome

- Guy and boyfriend were with a friend who had clever facial hair, interesting piercings, and general punk aesthetic (read: hipster) and after I mentioned his mustache, he kept kissing my cheek. I'm trying not to be smitten, but damnnnn, the mustache and beard were soft and fuzzy like chincilla.

- Made nice with my stupid frenemy who cut me off for no reason from January until September. Made nice in a naked way, unfortunately, but still, a good thing.

my boyfriend made an appointment this morning for us to get our beards trimmed at a men's salon we'd never been to, and he also booked a haircut for me. as soon as my barber started cutting my hair i began I knew something was wrong. barber spoke barely any english, obviously didn't know what he was doing, started cutting my hair without washing it, so it was dirty and dry as he cut, THEN he washed my hair, and then BLOW DRIED MY HAIR WITH A ROUND BRUSH, and then resumed cutting it?? and THEN without even asking me, pulled out a can and covered my head with hairspray! i am fairly fussy about my hair to begin with but i got so upset, tho i managed to contain my dissatisfaction while i was in the chair while stopping him from doing any further damage.

swear to god i had menopausal lady newscaster hair by the end of it. i didn't even get my beard trimmed, i didn't want that dude going anywhere near me face with a blade. the woman at the front desk was nice enough to take $10 off the cost of the cut because i explained how unhappy i was with it, which is good because i had to get it fixed at a different salon later.

my hair looks much nicer now. and my boyfriend's beard is beautifully shaped and trimmed, the lucky bastard.

that is my story for the day.

i think this is serious (elmo argonaut), Saturday, 19 November 2011 23:38 (thirteen years ago)

I watched Weekend: was disappointed by the poignant ending and a couple of the conversational riffs but otherwise a terrific film, precise in depicting the ways in which gays feel most uncomfortable when our straight friends are being most accommodating, and photographing these men in their flats in twilight.

I know, it's in my queue, but I'm saving it for when I'm in the mood for heaviness. These days I've been watching mostly Peep Show and Mitchell and Webb.
