AUXILIARY AUXILIARY PIZZA MEETUP
posted September 7, 2011 8:31 PM RSS | iCal | +googleCal
Wed September 21 at 6:00 PM, Pequod's Pizza
2207 N Clybourn Ave, Chicago, IL, USA (Map & Directions)
Folks I am as serious as a boring lawyer commercial heart attack with no explosions. We are eating pizza at Pequod's and everyone is going to have to explain the bathroom Gandalf. In conclusion: Pizza. Pequod's. Eating. You. Me.
Not in that order.
I always say shakes-peh-here-ian. So the word "here" is in it.

I refer to this phenomenon as the Chocolate Ghost. For a while I had no idea that there was a chocolate factory on the river so my natural assumption was that there was a fragrant spirit who haunted the river on weekday nights.

While living in LA, I once saw a sign-waving guy on the side of the highway in a full Count Chocula costume. I am not sure what was on the sign he was being paid to wave -- probably a car dealership -- but it was definitely not for chocolate cereal. It must have been 115 in the shade that day. Poor son of a bitch.

Wow, that's a horrifying thought. Thankfully I keep all my good stuff at my boyfriend's place, where I do all my "real" cooking. (I like to avoid getting pet hair in my food, you see.)
The craziest thing is that the apartment isn't even that clean! She fixates on the damned spice jars and ignores the massive tumbleweeds of pet hair that come blowing out of her room every time the dog moves.
Speaking of which, her dog got sick this weekend, and I totally cleaned up four shits and two pees that the roommate wasn't home to run interference on.
And did I tell you she instituted a chore chart so I can "prove" to her that I'm actually cleaning stuff?
SO FRUSTRATED.

Yeah, I had heard about that, but it sounds kinda sketchy?
It seems like just a group of guys who ran the "official" one got together and decided to throw another one. It seemed - when I looked at the facebook page - to be kinda half-assed. Also, it's in the Pilson area, which I don't know at all, really. Certainly not well enough to be wandering around the back streets alone (cuz you always end up alone eventually). Frankly, I just wouldn't feel safe. Andersonville (where the one earlier this year ranged over) is not Pilson, you know? I'll wait for the real one next spring.

I got a text from my roommate a few hours ago saying "hopefully [dog] won't be sick today. She hasn't really had a solid poop yet tho."
That's almost vomit!
Also, how long does a dog need to have the shits before it's time to take it to the vet? Seriously...I've never had pets, so I don't know. But this poor dog hasn't been right since Labor Day. (Apparently she ate something weird at a picnic?) If I had the poops for a week straight, I'd go to the doctor.

They make one-person-sized-pizzas--which are perfect if you want anchovies and no-one else does. Until your anchovy pizza shows up and suddenly everyone wants anchovies and then it's not enough pizza and you have to be sad because there is unexpectedly not enough anchovy for everyone.
