Oh yeah, duh. Let me check with the boss and I'll let you know. (and by boss I mean Allison, I could care less what my real boss thinks)

Marion Street Cheese Market would be the first option off the top of my head. They have massive bloody mary's. Shame I don't like them.

Mike - I have a floating holiday that needs burned before the 31st. Only issue is Allison won't be working from home that day and needs the car. Welcome to come to Oak Park if you'd like.

Work is weird right now since I'm at the very end of my current role. Last week was absurdly busy but I find myself with much more free time now. So today I worked remotely and ended up cleaning for 3-4 hours in preparation for an early family Christmas dinner we're hosting on Saturday night. I'm totally Allison's housewife. On a related note, I completely loathe washing glossy hardwood floors. Swiffer a section, get on my knees and wipe dry with a towel (this should be easy, Steve). Repeat 30 times.

Looks pretty likely that Jeff and I will split our doubleheader. Seattle D/ST has been that mountain waiting to erupt ever since they dominated the Packers in the hail mary game.

Damn. One of the rare jazz guys I could listen to at any time. No mood required. RIP.

Happy birfday Gene! Miss ya man.

In Portland now. Holy fuck Voodoo's donuts are way too big. I was full after one Maple Bacon Bar.

Happy birfday Haj!

Well I sure had a birthday worth remembering. In only four hours we covered the majority of the stuff we wanted to do at Pike's Place Market. That was followed by one really amazing beer store and one really amazing Belgian-inspired beer bar. Thanks everyone, as always. I'm undeserving of such good friends so I'll just shut up and be grateful.

Same not sure how I missed this. I foresee much Cantiloons in your future. Happy birthday friend!

I didn't even notice the bump until Vicki's latest post. Happy thanksgiving to my favorite group of people!

Awesome CJ!

In league 1, I'm likely rolling with Carson Palmer the rest of the way. Anyone interested in Stafford? In league 2, I don't really want to wait around for McFadden any longer. If anyone's more patient than I am, let me know if you want him.

Crystal Castles - III Yay, been looking forward to this one for a while. Not too bad so far.

Happy birfday Nums!

Looking forward to pics of your woody!

Couple of other belated Happy Birfdays to Chris and Mikey! wow I really am sucking with keeping up on birthday wishes :/

Happy belated man, x2 on what Nate said.

You deserved the win Shelly. My team was atrocious, and I had a huge advantage with all the points you left on the bench. Technically still have a playoff spot in both leagues, so I just need to hold on.

The way they animated that sequence, the punch is so ridiculous that I actually did find it funny. It's like her face was a sponge.

Haha, Akira is actually the only Anime I've ever liked. I first saw the film back in high school but never owned it. I don't think I mentioned it to Allison until very recently but she had never heard of it. Either way, there's plenty more about me that should have made Allison run for the hills. I'm dumbfounded by my luck.

This is pretty sweet - Right Stuf (an online anime retailer) just listed the rest of their stock of Akira on blu-ray - http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/qTCob-7QdOxaGRqzPl/browse/item/82348/4/0/0 If you're at all interested, act fast. This disc is OOP and can cost a great deal more than this on FleaBay and elsewhere.

^ Darn. With Jim out, my guest bed is free. Marc - you want it?
