Alibelle, I hope you have somebody lined up to go see the Ice Princess movie with Michelle Trachtenberg.
Actually, I do want to see that, but that is exactly the sort of movie that is difficult to talk people into, for some reason. Oh well.
Night.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
Transformers don't have prostates! Maybe the Dinobots. Metallic dinosaur proctology, it's comedy gold.
I'll take the Rachel Weisz in the middle, thanks.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Heh. A Chicago realtor who enjoys creative descriptions:
There's so much light, it's like heaven opened up in your apartment [link]
a decadent deck [link]
Great balls of fire this place is hot, even hotter wtih the fireplace [link]
This parking spot comes with an apartment, how convenient [link]

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Someone earlier said a thing about Janeanne Garofolo which could have been construed as negative.
However, it does not matter. That someone is dead to me, now.

I would take Rachel Weisz in the middle of anything.
Wait...
Rachel Weisz is quite attractive. Howver, she should not stand between me and Janeanne Garofolo.
Not that there is anything between me and Janeanne Garofolo but the better part of a cointinent and few decades of age.

I will IMDb's height for Janeanne Garofolo later. First, I need to investigate what in the world "gut-rehab" means from those craiglist links.
'Cuz, the term is disturbing.
(Back from IMDb: 5'1" -- Only two feet different. Practically a match. )

From some of the rehabs I've seen in progress, I think they strip the building down to little more than the structural stuff and rebuild from there. It probably saves on some permit issues (as opposed to demolition and starting with a whole new building), plus most of the old brick buildings just look cool.

Old brick buildings do look cool. However, it is kind of like that soda commercial where the rusted Chevy has a cool interior remod, but with bricks instead of rust.

That's what tuckpointing is for. All the brick is part of Chicago's identity, and the old buildings have some great detail work that is less likely to happen in new construction. I love that restoration is such a big thing here. And I don't have to drive my apartment to work.

You have to drive to work? The theatrical life is a hard life.
(I work at home. My morning drive consists of stumbling down the corridor to the coffee pot. )
