… are rocking the free wireless at Chicago’s most lackluster of hospitals, Resurrection (on Division St.).
One of our rough-and-tumble softball teammates has, in fact, taken one for the team, and will have a freshly relocated shoulder to show for it. Stylebaby and Cerealmom were voted most likely to have a car, and thus drove said [...]

6 reasons you know your day sucks (and its only 1 PM)
Posted in Gramma's Handbag on September 26, 2007 | 1 Comment »
6. The two cups of coffee you’ve already downed are making you irritable, unpleasant and incapable of working
5. You are snapping at interns for no reason
4. Your body temperature won’t stabilize (if you started lactating it might be menopause…two decades early)
3. Going for a walk (a.k.a. bitching for 30 minutes to your stylebaby) doesn’t help
2. [...]
High Fructose Corn Syrup: The Next Generation

This is quite possibly the grossest thing ever. This bucket was just sitting on the sidewalk, all full of syrup, waiting for some child to fall in it and drown.
Drown to death in “Bear’s Glucose” brand corn syrup.
UGH.
Around Town.

Some young hooligans defaced a defacement of the current president. If you can’t quite make out the scribbling, it reads: “I am stiped.” and “Fuke you : [drawing of a bird being flipped].”
This phenomenal creation was donated to Working Bikes by a pair of thick-armed and flaxen-haired women driving a red Saab convertible. The [...]
A Stout and Savory September Stew (ohhh, alliteration!)

I like cooking a great deal. In my spare time, I dream up culinary concoctions, and, though I am a busy person, attempt to make at least one solid meal per week. Last week’s special was a citrus-lavender stir fry, complete with cilantro and red cabbage slaw and garlicky couscous. It was a perfect [...]

DURR for DAR
Posted in Gramma's Handbag on September 19, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Portland-based cartoonist Erika Moen has a really amazing webcomic called DAR. It’s angsty, unconventional, confessional and all around lovely. She’s been working on it on-and-off since 2003, and it’s been great to watch her simultaneously grow up and evolve as an artist. Erika’s got a real knack for capturing the simple pleasures in life, as [...]

Is it so naive to think that independent media outlets like Pitchfork could usher in an age of more inclusive writing, bucking the old media’s reliance on whiteboy reporters?
Yes, it is.
According to the research of a Gawker intern named Sheila, Pitchfork has a terribly depressing amount of female writers with more articles published by dudes [...]
Dick Daley, Master Blaster
Posted in Urbanal on September 18, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Stylebaby’s excerpt from a Gaper’s Block graffiti thread got me thinking about how our fair city is blessed with Mayor Daley’s notorious graffiti blasting team (which some might say, much to the Mayor’s chagrin, has really stifled “street art” in Chicago). A quick googling turned up the Mayor Daley’s Graffiti Blasters wikipedia page, which [...]
