we're off!
Wilco is the only thing that could make me go back to the wretched state that is Wisconsin. Sorry, people who live in Wisconsin. Don't take it personally. I'll bring some cheese back, I promise, if they don't detain me.
Tuesday, July 30, 2002
yay! and ugh...
ugh:I still need to pack, and seem to be coming down with some type of cold thingy.
yay!:Brian is probably going to get to go to Madison w. us for Wilco tommorow. Biz, we'll try not to be too sappy. I'll leave the rose petals behind.
Oh my dear gods im tired
I'm listening to R.E.M.'s
Reveal (i can't update the pic). this is a sure sign of my insanity. Does the album suck? hard to say, this is probably the third time I've listened to it since its release.
anyhoot, after we had our lovely dinner party I ventured ti the hideout w. clare, and stayed way longer than i should have, as im so fucking tired im typing whatever. im not even drunk, im just asleep i think, and I have so much going on this week, argh.

"we can go drag racing with that damn bed, those straps are so badass" -Clare
oh dammit all to hell.
I'm in love. There, it's out there. I'm kind of scared. I didn't think this would happen. I was kind of enjoying being slutty. Sorry kids, no more random sluttiness. I'll try not to let this turn into a sap-fest though. I think I'm going to throw up. It's a good kind of throw up.
I've fallen
ouch. okay, not really ouch, it's kind of a good ouch. some things feel good when they hurt, like better than if it wasn't there to hurt in the first place.

whee, shopping!
Sooz n I decided to prove our girl scores and went shopping. It was kind of hot and icky though. We have matching shirts though, which should make it really hard to tell us apart, since I know there was some confusion there anyways. Chokk is here this weekend for Wilco, so that should be cool...we can pull a switcheroo on him.
We finally got our Raspberry Cider!
Sooz n I finally got our rasperry cider at Jakes, after stopping by Spin for the
Chicago Kings show. I was feeling the woman love going down there, so we didnt stick around too long. The cider is good, it's not like over raspberry-y. Sooz got the rope lites up, which means she's easier to locate on the skyline, and I can't run around wearing them anymore.

Things that make my job interesting.
Kathy beat out the rhythm to "Funkytown" on my butt with a paddle today.
I'm going to pack, I promise.
just as soon as I'm done typing.
I'm confused...
The Sex Change Test for Males
How "typically" female would you be if you had a sex change?
Your score = 65
What does your score mean?
While your attitudes and behavior are not completely in line with those of the "typical" female, you could probably pull off a fairly smooth transition from dude to dame. You've got enough "female" in you that you can imagine behaving, thinking and living in a more feminine way than you do now. Either that or you are simply broadminded enough to relate to the womanly perspective, and can see the value in giving up some of your masculine ways. Hurrah for androgyny!
I'm moving..again.
I should start packing. not sitting here chatting with slev. listening to music. eating baked doritos. thinking about someone. playing with my steve irwin action figure. or at least watching a movie.

Ebert gave it two stars
I'd say I agree with his review, actually. He gave it a so-so.
oops, no update
We were going to go to the Minus 5/Tuatara show, but by the time we got done, um, dilly dallying (?) decided it was probably too late, so we ate and went to see Sooz who really wanted to go to the Rock n Roll McDonalds, since she has a view of it from the 34th floor. I don't think we'll be going back there, as the life size non accurate Beatles really disturbed her.
I guess I should clarify 'we' is Brian and me. we're sort of, whatever..um. I'm somehow digging him depsite the fact that he has math trophies.

Boy's Penis Stitched Back After Donkey Bite
RABAT (Reuters) - Surgeons have managed to stitch back a Moroccan boy's penis after it was bitten off by a donkey, the official MAP news agency reported Thursday.
Professor Mouaad Mounir, chief urologist at Ibnou Toufail hospital in the southern city of Marrakesh, was quoted as saying the operation on the seven-year-old boy was carried out last week.
He said the operation had taken 45 minutes and was successful.
MAP did not say how the donkey managed to bite off the boy's penis.
A source at the hospital confirmed the agency's report, but declined to give further details.
Donkeys in Morocco are used for laborious work on farms and garbage collection and are often subject to harsh treatment.

good morning
hi. I'm kind of drnk now. And while im sure i have sworn to you, gentle readers, a few times in the past, that I would never ever post drunk again, well, i just have to. Tonite was one of those insignificant nites, with a lot of other people, that was deep down significant. I was totally doubting a few things in my life that are probably major and i was having trouble with on my own, but i think with the intervention of others I'm totally cool now. Almost. Later on today, I would think. I think it's all going to make sense then, for now anyway. Thanks to everyone who has put up with me now, the best is yet to come. I think I have a plan, after 6 months of sleep walking.

"You wouldn't wear that tshirt to a Los Lobos concert, would you?" -Xmike
On the fence, huh?
The Sex Change Test for Females
How "typically" male would you be if you had a sex change?
Your score = 40
What does your score mean?
While you could probably blend in fairly well with the male species, certain behaviors would reveal your true femininity. You've got a sort of androgynous approach to life, which means you're don't fit the male stereotypes to the T, but you're not 100% a typical woman either. This is probably a good thing - you can likely relate to both genders and understand the rationale behind characteristic "female" and "male" conduct. You're sitting on the fence!
I finally saw the Goonies
I think I'm about 15 years too late though. I was more impressed by the epic two part Cyndi Lauper video for "(Goonies R) Good Enough" which features a bunch of pro wrestlers dressed as pirates and such.

I'm an idiot!
Donna pointed out I really should have said something about thumbs in my Ebert daze...oh well. Next time I will just walk by and give him a thumbs up.
Yawn
I'm just exhuasted from last weekend and the heat and such. Party tommorow at Delilah's though. I should be well rested by then.
Look, I'm writing a movie review
Austin Powers:Goldmember takes dick and fart jokes to a whole new level. Question is, did this level need to be achieved? Eh, why not, we can't be all serious and artsy all the time, can we? Beyonce "Destiny's Child" Knowles wasn't as horrible as an actress as I feared. Like Mary J. Blige might have gotten on my nerves. Anyhoot, worth it at least for proof that Matthew Sweet is still alive.

My Ebert experience
Xmike got us passes to a press screening of
Austin Powers:Goldmember (review later), and the first thing I said was "I bet Ebert will be there!" I am an Ebert groupie..I always read his
reviews online before I lived here, watched his show, and thought the episode of
The Critic with him and Siskel was the best thing ever. So as we're walking to the theatre, I see an expensive SUV parked with a really obvious vanity plate and say "that must be him" but Xmike is all "No, he wouldn't have a plate that obvious." Lo and behold, there is Ebert, sitting in the theatre! Dreams do come true!
My Chicago Dream Comes True
I saw a movie with Roger Ebert. More later...
HOT!
It was kinda hot today. Skipped DBT because Sooz figured we'd bake, she was probably right. Celebrated her bday by watching the Noggin Channel and going out drinking with anyone who was not wussy enough to not go out on a school nite. thus, I am sweaty and tipsy.

Me:yeah, we sell the kits, they have different size tubes.
c:well, how do I know what size I need?
m:measure it around?
c:how?
m:try a tape measure? or a piece of string, then measure that
c:you sound like you done this before
m:no, I don't have a penis.
c:so how do I measure the length?
m:tape measure?
c:well, where do I start from?
m:I don't think there's a standard of measuring a penis, but I don't have one.
c:oh thanks.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOOZ!!
Here is Sooz and I the first day we met, back in November, being all touristy. Anything I have to say will sound sappy and insincere, but she is one of the bestest friends ever, and I'm glad she's here now!
Reflections
this site isn't as interesting as it used to be. It's all me-centric. I'll try to restore it back to its glory days, really.
uh, my purity score test is down to 52%. Yegads.
Yuk
I just closed the store, which gets me home at 1am, and I have to open it tommorow. I guess I got in enough partying yesterday though, and maybe I can leave early enough to catch Drive-By Truckers.
I think I'm going to marry my AC.
Saturday, July 20, 2002
Have you ever
just wanted to put yr arms around someone and not let go for a while? I did.
well, that was a day part 2
Being the social butterfly that I am, I wasn't about to let the nite end with merely a Wilco concert, my "token black friend/neighbor/co-worker" (as Xmike calls her) Tickey was having a birthday party! Sooz was not up for late nite partying so it was just Brian and I. We showed up around 3am and there was still some partying left to be done. While all the special brownies had already been consumed there was still booze. And Play-Doh, and a snake. then we left.
nothing else to see here, kids. move along.
well, that was a day!
or
Wilco:drowsy!
While the day could have been a complete disaster after mistaking someone else for Dick, thinking he ditched us, and hitching a ride with Brian instead and getting stuck in numerous traffic jams, and not getting to the show until midway through the openers...it was anything but.
First off let me say I saw no warning as we entered Indiana. There should be some really huge sign, or an oreintation given that you are entering a state that seems to have little else going for it but a lot of corn. I guess it produced some okay people too, though it's a bit ironic that one okay person from there in particular was allergic to corn.
I need to thank Mark, Dick, Jackie and Theresa for squeezing Sooz n Me up front. ("I'm short!" Sooz would yell whenever Mark called for updates.) Jay Jr. also did show up to claim his Wacker 'o' the Year Award. I still don't think he's any closer to getting 100 on the stalker quiz though.
The show started out much like all the other shows I saw on the last leg of
the tour, opening with "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" "War on War" and (I
Need A) "Kamera (as Jeff called it). I wasn't too excited, but then they
played a version of "Sunken Treasure" that is a bit more like the solo
accoustic version that was very cool.
Some jackass (or 2) though totally fucked up "Reservations" at the end by
yelling out stuff about Tweedy not rocking anymore. It was the last song
before the encores, and he left the stage without saying anything.
So, they came back and rocked! The new version of "Always in Love" was
incredible. they closed with (as Jeff called it afterwards) "Once in Germany
Someone Said Nein" which had the handful of us up front who had been to the
solo shows going nuts. Sadly, the coughing was not in it.
All in all though, while I as doubting my sanity in seeing them 3 more times
on the tour, I was completely convinced by the end of the show as to why I had
to. that they can take a song you've heard a bunch of times and renew your
enthusiasm for it is pretty cool.
I Am Trying to Break Your Heart
War On War

On the road Again!
Should be leaving shortly to go witness the wonderfulness that is wilco in Indianapolis. I hope they do the "Once in Germany someone said Nein/I'm a Wheel" song. And poor places. (hey, it worked last time)
I hate my sister!
No, I'm not singing classic 90s Juliana Hatfield, Mary called to tell me all about her DC Neil Finn experience which included a "World Where You Live" sing along AND someone shouting for "Iris" which he deemed post modern crap! Two hours, sigh. Fucking Park West! I HATE YOU! (park west. I don't really hate my sister. I think I put that song on a mix tape I made for her back then though. Deep down, I'm thrilled she had an excellent Finn experience. Mine was far from sucking, I don't want to sound ungreatful.)
and because of that
I'm listening to Ryan Adams again. what has gotten into me? 10 points to anyone who knows where the Ryan Adams pinup is in my bedroom.

Quote of the day
"Was there butter and ham on it?" ~Tickey, referring to me eating a salad.
I am making it a point to eat healthier. I feel like I'm going to die though, it's miserable. I want junk food. I think I am subsituing junk food for happiness. I'm not really unhappy though, frustrated in some ways. But is eating junk food really a solution to my emotional frustration?
and is it fustration or frustation? i am so lacking energy I'm not bothering to look it up.
I may die.
I ate a salad.
But really...
why AREN'T sloan more popular?
it's a good thing my downstairs right beneath me neighbor is xmike, becasue my dance workout to "Keep on Thinkin'" probably would have had any other sane person pounding on their ceiling. Nicole is going to see Sloan in Buffalo instead of wilco. give Patrick my love...if there's any room left after you give him yrs, heh.
Update
Now listening to Sloan's
Navy Blues, possibly their best album. Why don't more people like these guys? Most people seem to downright hate them.
so this thing is working all weird like
I can't edit my now playing...which is probably a good thing since I'm listening to Ryan Adams'
Heartbreaker and I don't want to lose my cool cred by advertising that.
oops too late.
anyhoot, wilco tommorow! no watch changing either.
Day 4
As of last night, Brian said I didn't smell too bad.
Last one for now
What's Your Theme Song?
sam, your theme song is I Will Survive!
The fiery confidence you normally keep under wraps blazes in your eyes every time your theme song turns on the table. People stand back and wait to be impressed by youówhether leading a project team, or firing up for a girls' night out.
Was anybody hurt?
I'm coming in tonite (decided on Mike Ireland and was able to see Wilco on Conan too) and there was a loud argument coming from Tickey/Garrett/Mark's place. Xmike touched on it in a comment, but I don't know what was happening.
anyhoot, Mike Ireland was great, and the Wilco performance of "I'm the Man Who Loves You" totally didn't suck. Jeff Tweedy's soloing was not embarassing. It might even fool people in to thinking they rock. (I'm kidding there, really...)Seriously, it was rad.

I just want to see Wilco dammit!
I was emailed a warning about the time zone difference, but then found out that SOME of Indiana doesn't do Daylight Savings Time. Did anyone else know about this?
Here's what I learned.
Sporadicness
is that a word? anydamn how no fits of brilliance here. My deo is still at Sooz's (hey, you going to be up tonite? I guess buying a new one would be easier...) It's hot today, but my AC is working fine. No ice cubes spitting out of it at least.

This explains a lot.
- What Type of Flirt Are You?
I took this one to compare to the other one, the results are not as promising.
So, did you hear the one about the funny flirt? You probably have, because it's you! Being a Silly Flirt, you know that laughter is often the quickest way to someone's heart. Your conversations with "potentials" are always peppered with the latest jokes and catchphrases, and you'll do anything ó including humiliating yourself ó to get the object of your affection to crack a smile. Just make sure that your quest for yuks doesn't blind you to other flirting approaches. You don't want to be stuck in "pal" purgatory. Sometimes a soft brush on the arm or a lingering look wins more points than even the funniest story. We're not saying you need to jump in someone's lap tomorrow (unless you think it might get you a big guffaw...), but a little directness could take you a long way. Still, until you're ready to expand your act, it's great to keep 'em laughing.

Wilco Lyrics I Have Lived Part II
"I was maimed by rock n roll"
(from "Sunken Treasure" on
Being There)
I think this was posted about as well. Back In January or February I saw Bennett & burch at the Abbey Pub and was so wasted I did something in the ladies room where I ended up with a giant lump on my forehead right above my right eye. There is STILL a lump there. If you want, I'll let you touch it. The lump that is.
Wilco Lyrics I Have Lived
In honor of Wilco Week here is the first in this new feature:
"Kiss and Ride on the CTA"
(from "Far Far Away" from
Being There)
The event was actually posted about a few months back but in a nutshell I had attended a party with someone whom asked if I wanted to make out whilst waiting for the Red Line. We briefly went at it on the platform at Wilson I think, then boarded the train.
But moving on...
It's a Wilco week! The band is on
Late Night with Conan O'Brien Wednesday, then I get to see them for the tour opener in Indianapolis. YAY!!
Neil Finn @ Park West
I did not pass out or embarass Lane too much at the Neil Finn show. In fact, I only got misty during "Don't Dream it's Over" which was Neil solo accoustic with an organ. You can hear that damn song 5 times a day on ezlistening and drown it out, but to hear it at its root is amazing. while he didn't play my favorite song "Distant Sun" he did do a great handful of Split Enz and Crowded House stuff. I think I appreciate the new album a little bit more after hearing the songs live, they have a big sound which translated really well live. I counted nine people on stage during one song. No special guests, but I think that might have distracted a bit from my first Finn experience so I'm not too sad. Definetly better than my first sexual experience, and first R.E.M. show.
Sunday, July 14, 2002
Holy Poop!
I GET TO SEE NEIL FINN TODAY!! AIIIEEE! I've loved him since 1987.
And Wilco Friday. I might not make it through!
Bikes!
So we're out on the deck, minding our own business, when out of nowhere there are thousands of cyclists riding thru downtown, at 2 in the morning! I told sooz n chokk it was the welcome parade I had arranged for them. I don't think they bought it.
It's a little disorienting at first going to sleep with the Sears Tower looming over you. With more booze I should get used to it.
I feel way better!
Heading out across the city in my pajamas. should be an adventure.
Oh, and I nominate Jay Jr. for Samorama Wacker of the Year.
Saturday, July 13, 2002
oh woe is me
The problem with havng an entirely public forum like this though is you can't say specific things about specific people, ie "______ is really rad" or "____ is really creepy" because blank might be reading, and you don't want blank to think you're coming on too strong becasue you have this public forum and they may be embarassed or think you are a freak (Well, as if that's not abundantly clear by what I post here.) I guess this is the price I pay for popularity, not being able to speak my mind. I may have to get a random page somewhere under a fake name so I can get all this stuff out. Or I should get a whole new set of friends who are luddites, and bitch about them here.
gods, the grammar here was atrocious, I do apologize. I promise not to do this again.
They're here!!
wahoo! pool party on the 34th floor! we'll be the nekid ones!
Mass Update
Saw Dolly Varden and Trophy Wives (aka Vigilantes of Love) last nite. I don't regret not seeing Bennett and Burch, they'll be back in August. I just hope I wasn't too stupid afterwards...
Sooz n Chokk are in the air over Kansas as I type. Kansas or Nebraska anyway...some rectangle state. I'm on my way to Midway to greet them.
Neil Finn TOMMOROW! Hopefully Lane will have recovered from his birthday by then. I'm curious if he made it to the White Stripes show.
hi
I'm posting this only becasue I have an audience who want to see the magic happen. So there.

I can barely see to type because my glasses are all wetted up and I'm just in such a fucking girly mood right now and you know how sometimes you feel so isolated but you know your not and you;ll get up tommorow and everything will be okay. Dammit, it was supposed to be all about you and it turned into me. You've been in my life since I set out on my own almost a year ago, and I'm totally greatful for that. I'm so glad I met you at the Pearl Jam convention, or whatever it was we met at.
Happy Birthday Lane

Fun with Spellcheck
Sooz's comes up "Sousa's"
All's nearly right with the world
the dishes are done, everyone's keyboards work, I have glittery lipgloss, cool lights and am kind of tipsy, and have nothing to look forward to but TWO DAYS OFF IN A ROW, and other assorted craziness over the next few days. Now, if i just don't piss anyone off between now and Sunday night, and everyone gets along...well, watch this space.

-my boss, after I made a comment about a cute nerdy looking guy, making fun of my defense of the office iMac that he has threatened to destroy so we can buy a pc.
I need to come up with better headlines
Anydamned how, my roommate borrowed my new keyboard and never gave it back, hence the late posting. I am off for two days after work tonite so I am hoping for some hardcore chilling/partying. This is going to be an insane weekend, I already sense it.
THREE DAYS 'til Neil Finn!
One week and a day 'til Wilco! (of course that's not the same as Neil, as I'm getting close to 20 times for Wilco now.)
I think I'm leaning towards Vigilantes of Love/Dolly Varden for Friday.

success!
The new used keyboard works okay. It's kind of clacky though. and all outlets are functioning!
sheesh
the entire post below was made by cutting and pasting (using the file menu) as my keyboard died, and my roommates is only good for a few letters. I picked up a new used one, which will hopefully work (I'm at work now). To make matters more annoying, a fuse in my room blew, and I couldn't access it! I had ten octopusses on one plug, including the AC, but I think all my plugs should be working now. huh, that sounds weird.
anyhoot, busy weekend coming up, lane's birthday, Neil Finn, Sooz moving, any number of good shows on Friday nite...I better rest up.

"Totally Crushable!"
Crushabilty Quiz!
Congratulations! You've got that special something that makes the other sex swoon. You're approachable, but not clingy; you stand up for yourself without being standoffish. And if you're reading this thinking, "OK, why am I not dating anyone then?" it's probably because your crushes think you're too good to be true! Be patient -- they'll come around eventually.
I so identified with the question about a crush not liking Buffy. I will "Keep watching, but cool it with the demon-slaying references. You're TC." TC?? Huh?

One Week 'til Neil Finn!
woohoo! In LA he was joined onstage by Grant Lee Phillips and Johnny Marr. We'll probably get Jon Langford in Chicago ;)
Set yr VCRs for Tues. 7/23 8:30pm and Tues. 8/2 8:30pm. (oh what the hell, I'll remind you). It was a ton of fun dancing on the show, going through the El-Train Line and such.
Also saw Kelly Hogan at the
Hideout tonnite. It's supposedly her last show for a while, she's taking some time off. I think it's well deserved, becasue I know some nights she's singing at two shows. The opener, Pardner was a lot of fun. The opener opener Nora O'Conner was fabulous as ever.

A Reflection on the July 4th Party
In a room where 3 or more stoned people are present, the Outkast CD will always be in heavy rotation.
I don't even OWN an Outkast CD.

I am now the proud owner
Of the
Pussy Snorkel. Don't quite know what I'm going to do with it yet, I guess it's just one of those things that's funny to have lying around. Hell, maybe it's only funny to me.
Nine Days 'til Neil Finn!
Today's Neil Trivia:Wendy and Lisa (of Prince and the Revolution) are on Neil's "new" album.
That was a great party
When there's some random guy asleep on the deck who wakes up and starts weeing, it was a good party. fist fights over what version of trivial pursuit to play are also a plus.

Wahoo!
Closing the store @ 8. Cookout at my place!
My apologies
...to anyone Lane prank called last nite using my cell phone I foolishly left at Delilah's whilst making a burrito run. It will never happen again.

Ten Days 'til Neil Finn!
Today's Trivia: Yes, Crowded House had more singles than "Don't Dream it's Over". They weren't just some 80s one hit wonder band. (Hope that doesn't sound too bitter.)
Happy Third of July!
Party at Delilah's tonite, since I have to work on the 4th. I think this means I miss the free Hootie and the Blowfish concert. Drats.

Neill Finn Countdown!!
11 days until I see my favrotie solo artist! I will celebrate by providing you with a piece of Neil trivia everyday:
Neil's midle name is Mulllane, and Crowded House's original name was the Mullanes. wow!
Congrats to "jerkus"
...for scoring 100 on my test. I have a feeling you are the sme person who got 100 on the last one though, I think you are getting help from someone! :P
Swordfish!
finally grilled swordfish over at Lane's. Dominick's is having this weird sale, so I also ended up with 3 packs of weiners for the price of one, two giant cans of beans, two apple pies, two cool whips. We should be set for the 3/4th of July.
