of course it's best to attack at the source, but it's also fun kicking ass, and yes, maybe if more women fought back it would help tp change men's opinions of whether or not they can get away with it.

krav maga is great--a great workout, self-defense techniques that work, and a nice confidence booster.

sorry it took so long to respond to you. you posted something in my journal asking which chicago sushi place i liked. currently, i love kamehachi on wells (an old favorite), and i love ringo on lincoln. eugene, the owner is a nice guy. family run place, great food. no hassle. check 'em out if you haven't. if you know and good places, i'd love to hear about 'em.

That was your cue to get up and hug and cry and everything, I guess.

I don't get the Mormon/Isrraelites thing, unless you want to argue that all Christians are somehow Israelites . . . eh, you should have just thrown food at him.

the cheap booze was due to being connected, not drinking crappy stuff

which is all the mo better

definitely we need to eat soon. any of those places sound good to me, especially spring, blackbird, and arun's

I'm going through that one right about now, throwing out Stacks of Things and trying to get organized. I haven't heard of the band/music/etc. you mentioned, but I had a hankerin' for some Willie Nelson while running with the cows.

I've been delving back into Twin Peaks and Kavalier and Clay in the past few weeks, oddly enough.

I'm kind of in the same boat as far as Chicago restaurants go. I've only lived here about 16 months, and I just haven't had the time, money, or the right companions to do as much restaurant exploration as I used to do in Dallas, where I had an army of friends that made a lot of money and liked to eat nice food.

I haven't been to Azula; I'll definitely check it out, because I share your opinion of local burrito / taco stands -- they just aren't as good here as they are back in TX or CA, and I live in / around Wicker Park

Yeah, if you want to do some restaurant exploring, I've definitely got a list of places I'd like to hit. Some are pretty expensive, some not so much.
