Ok, so I haven't retreated to complete board exile.

So after a week of a taking care of a son with Scarlet Fever(he's doing MUCH better and is with his father for the weekend), working 11 hrs yesterday and 10 today(including closing for my boss so she could go out with her family) I'm spending a chill evening in.

My night has included:

-taking a nice long bath
-keeping the new 5 mos old kitten off of our other cat(the kitten chases him around and pounces on him, our 2 yr old being his normally restrained self just hisses and retreats not once yet this week raising a paw to him!!)
-eating dinner

-and now having a couple of rum and cokes while watching disc 5 of season 5 of Angel aka my latest obsession(that and I have this insane hetero crush on Amy Acker aka Fred from the show)

I had to take a breather from Angel and I'm going to listen to some music. Husband is off rehearsing with band for their fri night show in Lansing and record release show next saturday( robotboy's PA Pilots are opening, if you're in Chicago this is the coolest place to be next sat)

Any one else having a nice evening?

Ok, then I'll assume you're all having really shitty evenings.

Fine.

Hi.

we went for a bike ride, then to dinner [cuban food]. no drinks though, as i'm still recovering from winter music conference.

just finished watching L 'Auberge Espagnole, and now listening to some music as well [roy ayers with joão gilberto on deck].

I'm broke, my knees hurt and I have to get up for work in 4 1/2 hours.

But I'm drunk, so that's not shitty.

I will cherry pick and respond to my own post too.

I got 4 cds at Tower for $33.

NP: Bruce Springsteen :: Darkness On The Edge Of Town

I got my new PT/2nd job on Friday, which means a big raise and a more flexible schedule.

Working on two newsletters and thinking about invoicing so I can get some more cash.

Thinking about buying some of these Jeep Teflon jeans so I can just dump shit on my lap and not bat an eye. Teflon fucking pants. Oh yeah.

I actually bought that movie a few weeks ago but haven't had a chance to watch it yet(see Angel obsession; I've been systematically been renting the last two seasons/monopolizing our Netflix queu for the past few weeks), so how is it?

Hey, Jen, I keep meaning to post more at GloNo but it appears there's only so much time to spend on a keyboard before it interferes with real world necessities. Maybe I can invent something to slow time or something.

i thought it was decent actually. makes me want to get out on a month long vacation of europe again. definitely check it out.

May be the ultimate Saturday night post..

I ate 3 dozen oysters and now am quietly drunk, listening to Decemberists' Picaresque on a rainy florida evening- life could be a lot worse............

where ya at? it was raining earlier here in west palm beach as well. fucking HOT out today, and i heard tomorrow will be 'round 88.

yikes.

Cleaned my house from top to bottom. Not in the mood to go out tonite.
I just got Deadwood disc 1 from Netflix today. Getting ready to watch it now.

Oh I am here now. And not doing much. I have to work a full day tomorrow, which I think is silly as there will likely be little to no shoppers, but if they want to pay me for lying on the floor and chatting with my coworker, I'm not going to stop them.

Johanna is pregnant again and I got a job offer in Cincinnati on Friday. We have suddenly considered relocating.

heading out to karaoke in a couple of hours

other than that, just playing cards online

congrats dude.

would you be stoked about relocating?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Simultaneous congrats and wha? You can't leave us! We may see you infrequently but we still love you and you can't leave chicago!

It's baby time though!!

My co-worker just had one two weeks ago, one boss is 4 mos along, and my ex-husband and his wife are almost 3 mos along(they haven't told charlie just yet).

I would be very excited about being able to afford a house to live in as oppsoed to our 1 bedroom condo. I would also love the opportunity to drop off the kid at the grandparents for once.

Thanks Jen. I would definitely miss the music scene and the whole gang. Maybe I could start a new club with Frank Grimes.

yer a card fiend. They're going to have to name a game after you one of these days.

I'm gonna go get a pizza hot dog and curly fries and then watch Cellular and probably read some comics, then bed time.

This is my lame night after staying out til 3am last night and having to work today.

a what?

Wow, congrats Timmy!

We are pretty psyched, but this thread wasn't supposed to be about me.

There's this hot dog place called Spike's in Boston that makes a bunch of different varieties of hot dogs. It's just a hot dog with sauce and melted mozzarella cheese on top. They've got a bunch of weird ones too that I'm too scared to try.

<---- not the pizza dog

Spent the day in NYC @ the Hardcore Superbowl.....Sick of it All, Madball, etc...
