Half dead [22 Dec 2003|06:13pm]
[ mood | sick ]

Luckily the doctor my grams used to go to was willing to prescribe antibiotics over the phone w/out an expensive office visit. Then by some stroke of luck, they only cost $10 to get. So now I'm on Penicillin. I hope it works.

Now if it didn't hurt like hell to breathe amongst other things.

Hope you're all well. I can't read your entries today.

You know that forward going around about "Wrigleyville Barbie" "S/S Barbie" "Oak Park Barbie" etc.?

Well Eric just read a few of them off onthe radio, and now he has a contest for who can guess what Barbie he just read but didn't give the town name too. Amazing how spam has now made it on to the radio. Ugh.


**edit**
Incidentally it was Lake Forest/Kenilworth Barbie that won this chick $100 Am/Ex gift check and $100 Fandango dollars.

The dip that caught an in-play foul ball in the Game 6 Cubs vs Marlins matchup just auctioned it off last night for $92,716. He's already given all money/gifts to charity that he's received. Wonder what he'll do with the money this time.

The guy running Harry Carey's restaurant got the partners together so they could win the auction. They did, and Feb 26th they will destroy the ball (in honor of Harry) in whatever way the Cubs fans deem (sp?) it should be. Cubs fans are invited to write in how they want it destroyed or visit the restaurant. A panel including Eric and Kathy is going to judge the best way. Well they were invited to be on the panel by the high bidder. We shall see.

For allyou that could care less about Chi baseball just ignore me! ;)

Local Radio show....WTMX.com [15 Dec 2003|04:51pm]
[ mood | contemplative ]

**cross-posted in [info]chitownsuburbia**

So today I was doing my regular thing at work. As I type endless amounts of data into the system (shite system it is), I have the Eric and Kathy show on. Melissa was commenting on Train's song "When I look to the sky" and about how Pat and Train need to "pick it up" a bit. She basically wanted some more happy, peppy, fast and less mellow tunes. So this bothered me a bit since I'm a big fan of Train and the song. Mind you, the radio cut sucks. It really does. The CD version is faster and far better, but it sounded like she hadn't heard it before. So I decided I'd email her. Afterall, it's on the website, and they daily talk about getting and reading listeners' emails. I never dreamed I'd hear anything back, and at best I hoped she MIGHT read it or be informed of it so she would give the CD cut a try.

Well what do you know? About an hour after their on-air show ended I got a reply. How cool is that? ;)

I of course felt really compelled to reply.

"Yea moron. When pigs fly."

I mean really. For one, I'm not an Ebay member. Anything has Ebay and Half.com on it. But it amuses me greatly that I was just on Half.com today updating my inventory. And I hate to break it to these lovely scammers, but Ebay doesn't suspend accounts. They suspend or delete inventory, but not accounts. Sad thing is, thousands fall for this shit daily.

And it occurs to me I never mentioned we have a cardboard standup of Rhett and Scarlett in this office. Every time I walk in I think it's a real person. Ok I'm done now...Back to sneezing...

[ music | Sore throat and headache....grr ]

So I meant to post this two days ago but forgot. For those that don't know, I have been temping at a food bank while I look for a job. Part of my job is to keep track of who donates, how much, address changes, etc. So we get the money requests back after the bank cashs the check and such. Anyway, people randomly write on there stuff like "Don't sell my name", "Take me off your list", "Only one request per year" and so on.

The other day I got one from a real piece of work. Obviously this person is out of touch with the real world.

"STOP THIS SHIT! THIS IS DISGUSTING! CLOSE ALL FOOD BANKS NOW! THE ECONOMY IS GOOD! THEY AREN'T NECESSARY!"

Verbatim. Can you believe the gall, stupidity, ignorance, etc.? I wish I could deck the person. I think they should get a stern letter back detailing why our food bank had to get donations and such for a new building with a bigger warehouse because the demand/need is growing every day. Stupid shit.

Congratulations on making Gryffindor!

Basically, you're brave, daring, chivalrous, and pretty much.. an all around good person. Of course, some see you as a goodie-two-shoes. But hey, it's true! You're really good at winning, and normally always come out as the hero. Everybody likes you.. except, maybe, the Slytherins. You're too perfect. No, really.. You're too perfect. It's annoying to watch you win, repeatedly. Oh well. Be proud anyway.



Gryffindors to Remember:

Harry Potter (the boy who lived..)

Ron Weasley (red hair, vacant expression.. we love weasleys!)

The whole damn Weasley family! (stop mating, already!!!)

Hermione Granger (you annoy me.. you know too much)

Albus Dumbledore (yeah yeah.. we all know this)



i'm in gryffindor!

Your outlook on life is dark.

I don't remember all the details, but last night I dreamt of [info]darksyde78. It was eventful and interesting. That much I can say. I wonder why I can't recall the ending of it. Anyone else forget their dreams if they don't wake up during them or talk about them? Anyone never remember them or perhaps always rememeber them?
