How's the weather up there?

Posted: 9/28/04 at 10:18am

I swear that's the first thing my father (age 83) asks when I speak to him on the phone.

The weather here (Chicago) today is BEAUTIFUL! 61 degrees, 10 mph wind off the Lake, and completely overcast... PERFECT!

Fine. Make me jealous. Right now it's cold, but it's going to get HOT.

I both love and loathe the state of California.

Pouring rain, hot and sticky here in NYC.

I just can't deal with sticky. What is the freaking point of humidity, could someone tell me?

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

I agree.. humidity sucks.

I freakin' hate humidity. I'm consoling myself with the fact that this is probably the last humid day until next year.

"How's the weather up there?" I get asked that frickin' question at least once a week. I'm 6'4".

Oh, christ! I promise I will NEVER ask you that if I see you!

Well the weather is great here in good ol' west texas. It's cloudy with a bit of sprinkles falling from above and the temperature is pretty good :) But still, i would much rather be in NYC

SOMMS, why WHY do people think asking that of tall people is just so freaking hilarious? How have you not punched someone?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Chicago. I think it is such a beautiful city, and the architecture is the best. Plus, it has great theatres, dance companies, yadda yadda yadda! Chicago is where I'll be heading if I ever get out of this hell I like to call college. I also like the fact that it's a more loner-friendly city, unlike New York.

I agree with popcultureboy, i think it's about time that you deck the next person who says that to you.

"I LOVE LOVE LOVE Chicago. I think it is such a beautiful city, and the architecture is the best."

I agree good architecture.

"Plus, it has great theatres, dance companies, yadda yadda yadda!"

I don't know about that. The Lyric Opera of Chicago is fantastic (MUCH better than the Met) The Steppenwolf is also good. We also have the Second City, but after that there's not much.

"Chicago is where I'll be heading if I ever get out of this hell I like to call college."

Where are you going to school?

"I also like the fact that it's a more loner-friendly city, unlike New York."

That's very true

See, It is a great city and, it's a clean city too. Don't get me wrong, I definately don't want to live in Chicago FOREVER, but I want to spend a good ten years there.
I'm origionally from Atlanta, but I just transferred to New Jersey City University.

ewww.... Atlanta.

Chipper Jones... If my name were Chipper I'd have to kick my own ass!

True. Chicago is MUCH cleaner than New York. Everytime I go to Manhattan I'm amazed at how FILTHY it is.

Case in point: 1am on Saturday night. I'm walking down the street and restaurants have put their wet garbage on the curb.
10am.. I walk down the same street. The garbage truck has come and picked up the trash, but the nasty garbage juice remains in the gutter to fester in the Sun.. say it with me people... "Street Sweeper"

And let's not forget the thousands of post-it-note sized ads for Phantom lying on the ground EVERYWHERE

LOL! Yes, Chipper is a horrible name! Just imagine all the drunken fans screaming "Chipper, Chipper!" Although, I think most of his fans are eighteen year old girls who want to carry his children.

Are they called Chip-ets?

Anyhow if you want to be a Chicagoian repeat after me... "Cubs beat Braves... Cubs beat Braves"

Ha! If you want bad baseball names, try being Coco Crisp.

Okay, Coco is a nickname, but still. Pretty bad. And I had a friend who used to giggle every time someone mentioned Albert Pujols.

But anyway, what kind of an asinine thing is that to ask a tall person? Oy. Of course, I was (am) such a dork I would get picked on for that in middle school rather than the fact that I was short.

Jesus Christ, my family is going to kill me for this one... Cubs beat Braves...Cubs beat Braves! There you go, I said it!

very good. I'm proud of you for that.

I hate the Atlanta Braves almost as much as I hate the San Fransisco 49ers.
