a celebration

so i got the good news about my new job, and it was time to celebrate. what would monday night have in store?

i meet up with danny and we hop in the chief and motor to home depot so that he can return some curtains. since customer service is not a priority at the depot, this fiasco lasted about 20 minutes. to pass the time, i browsed the lighting section for a couple of 3 inch recessed lights, for the kitchen.

...the party was just beginning.

then we took a trek out to naperville and got caught in some traffic due to power outages en route. we made a stop at tiger direct. for those of you not in the know, tiger direct is not a strip club... it's a computer/electronic store for super nerds. danny had to return some sort of nerdy wireless device, while i played 3-d computer chess on a 42" flat panel lcd monitor. it took danny over 30 minutes to get through this mess, which gave me enough time to beat the computer... on novice.

...time to rock out.

we buried some hot dogs at the naperville portillo's, before heading back to the gonq. we ended up at buffalo wild wings for a couple beers and some texas hold'em on the ntn machines. there was a fantasy football draft going on, so we pretty much berated all the teams for making horrible decisions. danny won the hold'em tournament and then footed the bill, and the celebration was over.

...i know, i know. crazy motherfuckers, aye?

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.
