jim's bachelor party

yesterday was a long day. we started out by meeting at timmy's place, and taking the longest cab ride ever, to 3637 north sheffield, the location of the ivy league baseball club. it was my first cubs rooftop game and it was quite an experience.
it was the perfect weather for the game, and just being outside in general... bright and sunny, but not too hot because of the slight breeze. after getting up there, food and drinks are free, so tim and i decided to drink a beer an inning. we were also able to eat like kings... devouring bratwurst after burger after hot dog. to top it all off, the cubs beat st. louis six to zero and i believe that the bulls beat the heat in the first game of the series.

dan, tim, and i went back to tim's to change and we met up with emer and took a cab downtown to espn zone where jim and the gang were busy drinking. we had a big group dinner and finally, jim was starting to feel a little drunky.

he ended up puking right outside of the ballet, our final destination. and since i know you are smart... i think you can guess what ballet we went to see. let's just end it by saying that i think jim had a memorable day, and really, that's all you can hope for when celebrating a bachelor party.

giving thanks

last year, erin and i spent thanksgiving at cammie's place in the city. it was an intimate gathering of cam's close friends. i made some baked mac and cheese that i was very proud of... it was delicious. but betsy broke my casserole dish on purpose, because she had her own mac and cheese she wanted everyone to eat. just kidding, but i dish really did break, and it really was betsy's doing... accidentally, on purpose. heh. anyways, this is the first thanksgiving in 5 years, that i haven't spent with erin. very strange, and sad too. i've found myself reflecting on the friendships that i've made over the past couple of years... thinking about the people who come into and out of our lives so quickly. as you may be able to tell, i'm a nostalgic little fuck. i live every day like it's a big event. i try to treat those i've just met, like they're my best friend (unless they're a complete douche bag). i get sad at the end of the night when i have...

who sings that?

so i saw this jcpenny commercial today and i noticed two things... number one, jcpenny's marketing department or the ad agency that's helping them, has been doing a great job trying to improve their image. kudos to them. number two, they've been using some great background music in their commercials. i know that regina spektor sang one of the older ones, but in the one i saw, they used the song " all that i want ", by the weepies . and by the way, i don't know if you pronounce it weep-ies, like freebies or wee-pies, like levi's . anyways, i think that if you don't watch tv a lot, you pay more attention to the commercials, and in this particular case, the soundtrack was delicious.
