QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) I have give Arcade Fire a shot today and I find them incredibly boring and just bad. I'll list my stations by preference. 97.1 104.3 100.3 105.9 101.9 103.5 96.3 93.9 99.5 97.9 Haven't turned on 93.1 or 101.1 in a long time. Ever since my commute became enormous, I can't handle any of those stations anymore. It's mostly 670, but if I want music, it's usually 93.1 . 93.1 is the only station out there (that I've found) that plays psuedo indie rock (decemberists, mumford & sons, etc). If there are others, I don't know about them and would love to find out.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Feb 9, 2011 -> 04:57 PM) I have an bachelor's and master's in accounting and can't find a job! No intern experience is killing me I think (and the economy) I'm currently in an MSA program right now (While working full time in another field). I'm trying to figure out when to make the jump into an internship and out of my "real job". I go to a fairly small school and I know the network isn't going to be great. I also don't know how interested I am in a public firm, too many of my friends got burnt out real quick. Overall, I'm just confused on how the hell I'm going to use this master's degree when I'm done, haha.

Slowly turning into a completely lost season. Just brutal.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 10:29 AM) "Community" week to week is one of the best shows on TV. I love that they took the success of the paintball episode and ran w/ it. Instead of being just another show - they've made it outrageous.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 08:58 AM) AT&T wireless users, what are your thoughts on your service? I posted on Facebook that we were thinking of switching to AT&T, I got 11 responses. Of those who actually have HAD AT&T, 4 were negative and 4 were positive. The rest of the comments were people who "heard" AT&T was bad. If you are in the city - AT&T blows. My wife would get 1 bar in our apt and 0 bars while at her job in lincoln park. She just switched to verizon and has 0 issues.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 2, 2011 -> 03:54 PM) Finally finished Parks and Rec season 2, Thanks to Netflix streaming. Maybe my fav comedy since Scrubs season 8 ended. my friend made me give this show a 2nd chance. Absolutely hilarious. We watched all of season 1 in one sitting last night.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 2, 2011 -> 02:37 PM) Um, I just went outside for the first time and shoveled around my car and made a path up to the house. Wasn't that bad with the snow being so light since it hasn't settled yet. But I have for the first time come to the realization that I might not even be able to make it to work tomorrow either. Our streets have snow 4 feet high and I don't see any snow plows in sight. Darn. this. I park on a side street in the city and it hasn't been plowed yet. I spent about 30 minutes shoveling around my car and whatnot - but the problem is it's still surrounded by 3 ft high drifts and the plows have yet to push more snow against the car. I already emailed my boss and let her know that it's a good chance I'll be working from home tomorrow too.

plows haven't hit my side street yet in the city. Useless to start shoveling until then.... Hopefully they come before this all turns to ice and I can't leave my house for the rest of the week.

The commute time from O'hare to downtown was 18 mins when I headed home at 2......it's 101 minutes now. bad

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jan 31, 2011 -> 01:54 PM) I think I had 3 or 4 of them at ISU in Normal. Central Illinois gets some nasty ice storms. I went to U of I in 07 when we had those 2 snow days . It was an awesome experience to see everyone just walking in the middle of the streets in the middle of the day.........and murphy's was PACKED.

QUOTE (QuincyStandback @ Jan 30, 2011 -> 10:54 PM) I hope it snows like the dickens, so it gives me an excuse to sit inside and play video games. I'll be "working from home", which really means I'll be doing the above.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 11:29 AM) couldn't care less about the SB I'll never understand people following a league for the entire year, then as soon as their team is out of it, they don't care about anything in the league all of a sudden. IE: a ton of people said they "didn't care/watch" the mlb playoffs/world series this year.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 10:17 AM) Is it wrong that i enjoyed parts of "Perfect Couples"? The Olivia Munn couple needs to be toned down as they will get old fast, but try and do it without down sizing Olivia Munn's screen time. Hmmm I thought it was bad......really bad. All of the characters were too loud and way too annoying.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 10:30 AM) My wife, daughter and another friend are going to the Linkin Park concert next Wednesday at the UC. A friend of my is driving them in and since I'll already be here, I'm just going to me them after I get out of work. So my friend and I need something to do while the other 3 are at the concert. Is there anything fairly close? wicker park neighborhood is 2 miles away up ashland. Tons of restaurants/bars there. I'd recommend: Piece - AWESOME pizza/microbrewery http://www.yelp.com/biz/piece-chicago Smoke Daddy - BBQ Place http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-smoke-daddy-chicago

Have ' 01 Honda Accord w/ only 60k miles on it. I got it from my grandma in 05 w/ 6000 miles on it. Hooray grandma cars. Will run this thing into the ground. My wife has an '06 Focus, nothing exciting. However, once my accord goes out, I will be getting a newer model Subaru Impreza. When I worked in a rental car branch, those were my absolute favorite cars to drive. They handle so well.

penn state gave them plenty of chances to take that game over in the 2nd half, but there was just no offense to be found. bad.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 02:26 PM) So fun radio is Bernstein yelling things like YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!! YOU CALLED FOR THAT??? THAT IS A STUPID STATEMENT!!! STOP BEING STUPID!!! NO I'M RIGHT AND YOUR OPINION IS WRONG!!! at a caller? They are the only show I listen to religiously. And that's solely because they are the only show that will make me laugh out loud at work constantly. They are completely unique from other shows. Sure, Bernstein can take things too far some times, but he's usually correct in what he's saying and trying to prove dumb sports thoughts wrong. I'm sure everyone listens to sports radio for different things, but I listen to it to be entertained. If I was just looking to be informed, the internet helps me out w/ that.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 02:45 AM) I always think the commercials for Giordano's are very bad. The commercials makes the food look like s*** and the owner of Giordano's looks ridiculous every time he holds up that tomato. To make matters worse, he started wearing a really bad toupee. In the older commercials, there were lots of "regular" people doing a really bad job of acting, I even remember seeing some chick take a bite of something then raise her arms up in a "yay!" victory pose. And in the newer commercials with the owner wearing the bad toupee, the food they show looks like home-made food in aluminum trays rather than restaurant-quality food displayed on plates. Really bad presentations. :-/ the chick was hot.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 03:04 PM) The horrible food wasn't convincing enough? pre-commercial, sometimes you would be forced to go there w/ family and whatnot. post-commercial, that is one of the only restaurants I will make a fuss about not going to if I'm in a big group. The commercial we are talking about was the gilligan's Island parody. We were at a bar w/ all the different march madness games on at once and that commercial was on every game, so you heard it roughly every 5 minutes.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 08:35 AM) I need to pick that up. I was absolutely obsessed with the one on PC (and Playstation) previously. If they kept the gameplay relatively intact, it's going to rock. That's the best racing game I've ever played (NFS Hot Pursuit of the late 90s). I remember loving that game on the PC. This was before a 3d GTA, so it was really the first of it's kind. Those spike strips the cops would lay down were the worst.

I got accidentally drunk before a final once. Luckily, I was a senior taking Geology 100 for a gened credit.

What's the best Hot Toddy recipe? go.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 11:32 PM) You need to check your birth date/graduation date I WAS SPEAKING IN GENERAL. I'm 2.5 years out of graduation and in place I never thought I'd be.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 09:05 PM) I would say to keep your mind a bit more open. There are a lot of things you think may suck that are actually pretty interesting when you have your own stake in the claim. You probably will find the stuff you think is interesting kind of sucks. 2 years later I wouldn't have imagined how interested i'd be in internet start-ups and planning on going back for an MBA. This. 5 years after college, I would bet that almost everyone is somewhere they didn't expect. Myself included. You don't have to have your life figured out by the time you're 22.

PUMPED. especially at that price.
