my thoughts exactly.

this is the first time i've ever gotten shut out in a presale and usually get VERY good seats in the presale. i guess it all depends on the venue and what they are able to make available. the one thing i give wilco a thumbs up for is that they don't release the entire venue in presale. Bob Dylan and Neil Young both do this and the shows sell out before the tickets actually technically go on sale, making it very difficult to have any chance of getting tickets if you have a meeting or some other non-fun thing to take care of during the presale.

me too! i was in and at the ticket page by 10:01am and no tickets available. grrrr. maybe there really wasn't a presale for that one. hmmph.

i received my gift yesterday! very fun and a big thank you to my secret gift giver!!! [am making my way to the post office by end of week this week to send out my gift!]

here's a couple suggestions with those ingredients: simple pasta dish (as long as you have access to olive oil) very straightforward: cook pasta, chop up the cheese into small chunks, mix into a bowl with lots of salt, pepper, and other spices, and olive oil. It would work best if you had mozarella and not cheddar, and would be even better if you had a tomato, balsamic vinegar, and an avacodo. cheese quiche (as long as you have access to flour) more complicated. make the dough: 4 cups flour, 1 1/2 cups butter, 1 egg, 1 3/8 tsp salt, 1 tbs lemon juice (can be left out or a white vinegar

that's perfect! thanks!

to the chicagoans (or frequent travelers): does anyone have a great photo of the mass transit system in chicago that they would be happy to share with a really good non-profit? something along the lines of the elevated tracks nestled in between buildings?

last year's show was so much fun! hope i can swing it this year too!

this is probably already posted in here but just in case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWWil-9oUK4 i think it's brilliant!!!

i'm happy to see "sad eyed lady of the lowlands" made it.

i will be putting up the Christmas Toy (as that is how the cats view it) this weekend. It will be interesting to see if the 1year old climbs it like he did last year when he was a little over 1 month old. I'll have to dig up the pics of that. pretty hysterical.

i always find it interesting to see people unhappy about how much Wilco charges for concert tickets. Especially after I recently paid over $175 for 1 ticket to a non-wilco concert.

no twiggy. she's probably leaving because she doesn't think heather should have gone either. heee heee.

oooh exciting!

i say #3. and bjorn was right about my last list.

damn it, i was going to say that.

yeah. i sorta see that. but she'd have a personal asitant getting her to her go sees. i think seleisha is gonna win. i really want jenna and chantal to go. wait, maybe deep down i have something against blondes and never knew it! i miss the little dog, but doesn't everyone love having Twiggy on there now!!!!

that makes it a very special treat!

that article is very interesting. this was in the post today: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...id=sec-politics who'da thought, Lott a Kiss fan.

i find it interesting that the initial news reports of this said the offense was punishable with 3 month jail time and this new article now notes that it is 40 lashes and 6 months jail time. my hunch is that if she is convicted (which is extremely likely, remember the guy that got caned for graffiti in asia) she will never see the light of day again.

(i started a new thread in tongue-tied lightning just for Tyra)

clearly you're not a fan. either that or you secretly are a fan, but trying not to blow your cover. America's Next Top Model (see Letters to Santa thread for more appreciation). Tyra Banks.

I thought this would merit its own thread after the shift in topic in the Letters to Santa thread. Seriously, Heather gone. Anyone else bothered by this?

wow! what a small small world!!
