Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Oddly, part three is on top, with parts two and one below.
Managed to get down some chicken soup. It seems to be staying. Still feeling icky, though.
I think I will be doing indoor stuff today. The sky is grumbling.
Dammit, I was going to grill.
Lunch, lunch, lunch...am hungry.
Weird/cool building: [link]
A daring piece of architecture for The Loop area, Aqua comes off more as a massive sculpture than as a residential block in the crowded heart of the city. The name "Aqua" is in keeping with the nautical theme most of the buildings in the Lakeshore East development have: The Tides, The Shoreham, The Regatta, etc... But while those were conventional skyscrapers, Aqua is special.
At its heart it is the standard glass box we've seen before. But protruding from its surface are undulating concrete balconies resembling ripples or waves. This is an appropriate homage considering the building's location near both Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. But the ripples are not without challenge. Much like each wave in the lake, each floor plate in Aqua is unique, thus construction is unusually complicated. And for homeowners, not all units are equal. While some people may have a balcony up to 12 feet wide, others will be measuring theirs with a ruler rather than a yardstick.
Ozzy Osbourne Pulls Prank at Madame Tussauds by Pretending to Be His Own Wax Figure
Ozzy Osbourne recently pulled a prank pretending to be his own wax figure at Madame Tussauds in New York’s Time Square, scaring the crap out of the museum’s visitors. It was a promotion for his new album “Scream” which comes out June 22nd.
Heh.
OMG, I posted this before watching the video. It's pretty funny. By far the most common reaction of fans is to scream.
Huh. I think it looks pretty cool.
Aqua is a very cool building to look at. I still wish the Spire would get built, but it looks like it won't progress past a hole in the ground.
Here's my current first world problem -- I just found out that a hotel around the corner from my house apparently has an awesome roof top pool. But it's only open to the public on weekdays, and only if you pay $40. Or $20 after 3pm. Pfui. Now I'm going to scheme on how to sneak in, of course.... And/or get someone I know to stay there!
