You Know, This Is Why Communism Failed
So I live in condominium tower a few blocks from the lakefront, a mostly older population but what with retirements to milder climates and, frankly, deaths of some of the more elderly residents, the demographics of the building are changing. One of my good friends in the building is a retiree named John Ivicek....

A quick note for all the people I met and re-met at the get-together on Saturday night. First off, many thanks to our generous hosts. I'd like to be able to throw parties of my own but in my 520-sq.ft. phonebooth of a condo, it'd be like a party in a dorm room. So I'm sorry I can't return the favor....

Smells like a diaper full of Indian food
I understand that SG is, generally speaking, not the community to go talking sports. Yes, there are sports fans, even amongst the punk rock girls, not just the guys who fancy them, and there are discussion groups to cater to us square pegs. But there's something, a feeling, that I must express: There's...

oh yeah, sorry I was AWOL like that, but I was feeling really bad. Still not back to normal, but I'm gonna see my doc tomorrow, hopefully I get some different stuff. Right now, I'm basically surviving my headaches on Bayer, which isn't the coolest thing to be hooked on. Or so I'm told. 
peachs:
It was really great to meet and hang out with you last night, I hope we can all get together and chill again relatively soon!!!
I've been neglecting my connections here on SG and want to send out a signal flare on the ol' homepage but don't have a compelling topic to write about. So I'll take a page from my good friend BernardShakey and present a list of general interest
- Top Five Varieties of Cheese
- Gouda The flavor is smooth and easily appreciated even by those without sophisticated or...

i'm lactose intolerant and three slices of cheddar killed me, even with a bunch of lactaid. swiss is relatively safe. but everyone's been rubbing the milk products in my face today, from gelatto to cheese. damn you! avenge me, son, AVENGE ME! no really I love cheese, but I don't like to feel like my stomach is imploding in some mystery of space/time. Old Amsterdam cheese is one of my all time favorites, and that's a Gouda, right? In a Gada Da Vida? I got in the Gouda! I love the pepper cheez but not the horseradish. i prefer not to touch a horse's radish.

Somedays you see something, an article in a magazine, a story in the newspaper, something on TV, or even out on the street, that just puts a restful smile on your face.

As for me, I've given up hope of a birthday party themed in its fashion, I just hope that someone would make a pointed reference to me during Prime Minister's Question Time

sweet, thanks for the heads up on the groucho movie fest. I'll probably be somewhat bed ridden tomorrow, so i'll be sure to check that out.

AHH a remake of nthe Paul Muni film. I haven't seen it but the original is really a fun film, gotta love Claude Raines.
I totally know that feeling of strange remeberance. There was a film I think I saw as a kid, I can even remember my baby sitter talikng about it, and there was a drive in by a freeway entrance ramp that played it and I saws a the same clip every day my mom picked me up from daycare. Can't for the life of me find jack shit about it from remebered description.

That's a great tv show idea!
Sorry for any confusion. I just took it off the calendar. Thanks for the heads-up. You must have been left out of the last email, but it was rescheduled for the 29th and then, well, you know the rest. Email me and I'll make sure you get put in thenext invite mailing. oJAEflo suggested doing it by private email and then taking it off the general listings.

Yeah, really odd timing on that story. He got the guilty verdict a few weeks back, then this. It's weird how things work out like that. When I first heard about this, I wasn't sure whether to be really sad or or somewhat gleeful. Of coure, in reality it's always sad when someone dies. But this guy is definitely scraping the bottom of the barrell here.

Mine have been wicked bad as of late. To be totally honest with ya, it didn't really go away, it's still lingering a bit. I'm a ahead of you on the sedation thing, I took a couple NyQuills earlier, which knocked me out for a few hours. Helped a bit. I'm actually not much of of an Alky, just on special occasions. Like days that end in Y.

R.I.P. Coach Walker; Your Like We'll Not Soon See Again

Yeah, I heard about that on the radio this morning. So tragic, and so young, as you pointed out. 
Quite the analagy you made there, mules and cars. I would probably be more understanding if it were an animal. But it's a manmade contraption, so I have no qualms in hating it's oil slicked guts.

Test Results Are In
Some people are suckers for internet chain letters, some people genuinely think Bill Gates is really going to send them a check for $125 just for forwarding junk emails, I just can't get enough of internet personality tests. Myers-Briggs, Enneagrams, whenever I take one I get this soothing feeling like someone is massaging my temples.

I like the one's where they tell you what superhero you are, or what actor is most like you. Those are fun. Plus, a new one seems to pop up every freakin' day. take care

I probably forgo writing something here half a dozen times for every time I actually do. Simply because so many of the things I might say would make me sound like a crank. But now I've got one of those "What Really Grinds My Gears" rants welling up.

Get Over Yourself
If there is one character trait I simply cannot abide in myself, something that causes me to regard myself with profound disgust, it is self-pity.

Yeah, on second thought, you were probably right about Streetcar being Brando's film. I just fell in love with Leigh in the movie. Probably blinded my judgement. And about Leigh's mental health: I don't quite remember specifics from that book, but I do remember that she recieved electric shock therapy for some sort of diagnosed mental issue. Might have been bi-polar, but the negative effects of that therapy only worsened it. There's a part in one of David Niven's memoirs where he describes a scene where a woman is sitting in room watching a television. Not realizing that the TV is switched off. Her real name wasn't used, out of taste, but it was revealed later that this was actually something someone witnessed of Vivien Leigh. Weird stuff there.

the fallin' is what bike riding is all about. It's pure folly that we roll around on these small vehicles solely at the whim of rotational inertia to keep us alive. But I love to do it and I need the exercise. My left knee needed a good stretch too.
