oh man. hilarity has ensued.
lets start with saturday (this day isnt that funny). i played as an emergency sub for a soccer team that plays on the near west side of the city. i scored a goal and had an assist, and it looks like ill be playing saturday mornings with them from now on. after that i drove home and went to a chicago fire game with my family. the fire won 3-0 and it was a good game to watch. afterwards i made the trek back up to evanston with a bunch of food.
sunday started off well with frank giving me a wake up call saying 'im down the street, open your door.' i let him in, and then we returned fear and loathing in las vegas and ate buffalo joes. after that we watched slamnation and just caught up, which was a lot of fun. draper and harrel showed up around 5:30. we hurried to dr.wax and adam managed to find 160 dollars worth of records in 10 minutes. i bought the new brother ali album 'shadows on the sun' which is really damn good. when we got back, we couldnt resist the swings. so we all swung for a while, then ended up filming a mini-documentary about a swinging (b-boy) crew. dedicated to justin. haha. this kid justin, who i guess is my neighbor, he was at the park and kept getting in our shots. he couldnt jump off the swings like us though, cause his knee was hurt. we soon found out why. he was the clumsiest kid ive ever seen. he was climbing onto the fire truck while adam was doing an interview up there, and i told him to back up out of the shot. so, he sat on the fire hose reel, which spun around and dumped him on his head. it looked painful, but it also looked very funny. we stopped to make sure he was ok, and he insisted he was. so we began the interview again while he got off the truck. turns out he wasnt very good at getting off the truck, he slipped on the wheel, fell on the back end, and then fell to the ground. haha, man, that kid has problems. we finished being overly creative and started walking towards the el. the kids parents were on his front porch and the dad yelled 'are you punks corrupting my son?' we just laughed and kept walking, because we didnt know if he was serious, and we didnt want to wait aroung to find out.
so then we saw hot hot heat by wrigley field, and harrels girl got away. i swear there were at least 200 kids in my friendster network at that concert. we got lost looking for wilton street, we wanted to catch the end of the non existent atreyu show so we could get our dose of metal friendly hardcore. but we just ended up coming back, and working on the newest mpc te joint "girl got a way" feat. (mf) drawstring and francis brownstone (aka harrel and adam).
during this time something funny happened on accident. harrel went to the bathroom (not the funny part) while draper and i sat in the living room. adam (my roommate was eating at the kitchen table). here is how the converstion went:
matt: i think adam is already in the bathroom.
draper: no, he's not, he's right there.
matt: oh, what are you doing adam?
adam: i'm eating.
matt: what are you eating?
adam: your sister's salad.
silence. no one has gotten the joke yet, because it wasnt a joke. i had brought home leftovers from a restaurant, including my burger and my sisters salad. once it set in though, we laughed for 10 minutes straight.
today, i trekked all over chicago location scouting for my film with marc smith. while walking to navy pier, i saw two pretty funny vehicles. the first one was an "Emergency Blacksmith" truck, and the second was a 'training bus.' on the training bus, there was a bus driver and then 6 other bus drivers behind him watching him drive. i also saw the oscar meyer weinermobile. at navy pier, i saw a girl that looked exactly like catherine starks, and it turns out it was her, but i didnt say hi because she was with a little boy and i knew she didnt have a little brother or a kid or a reason to be in chicago. not making sure it wasnt her was my regret for the day i guess.
brandon got really pissed during socom match play tonight, and quit to run off with nancy to amc cantera theaters. i called her to find him and they were on 59. they asked me to check what movies were playing at 11 and i found out that no movies were playing after 10:15. so they just went to steak and shake, which reminded brandon and i of a funny story that i will now share.
once upon a time, brandon and i saw a late movie (possibly memento) at cantera. afterwards, we needed to go to the bathroom. so we pulled in to steak and shake. we parked, and then we realized that we didnt both want to go into steak and shake and walk straight for the bathroom. so we decided to go across the street. we parked at a gas station. i went into the gas station and brandon went to white hen. we both went to the bathroom, and came back to the car. this is when we realized that we had both bought the exact same pack of gum. and that we were gay.
oh yeah, haha heres something else. so on the northwestern hereandnow site, there is a community crime alert at the top. hereandnow the article usually warns us of someone beaten or robbed near campus. but man, this one was just funny. im not making fun of what happened to this woman, because it is bad, but come on. here are some excerpts:
"The offender informed the victim that he was going to hypnotize her and then did so. He then spoke to and touched the victim in an inappropriate manner."
"The offender who fled the area was described as a white male, approximately five feet, six inches tall, medium build, dark hair, with bad acne and approximately 20-25 years old."
haha, watch out for that kid, he has hypnotizing acne. haha. is this funny to other people? or what...
thats it, i guess those stories arent that funny. but they were enough to keep me going on living.
