THE JO-TEL … illegal blog downfield

Jo-Tel South roommate Hilary-related link dump.

Her relatively recent foray into the world of ego-blogging is now linked under Friends and Fambly.

She also has a show on blogtalkradio. It’s today at 4:00 PM PST. If you’re bored at work, listen in.

Giles, one of my closest homeboys from the Chi, is the undisputed king of the following things: relaxing, barbecuing (his annual BBQueens (he lives in Queens) draws bbq enthusiasts from all five burroughs), and being late to shit because he was making himself a sandwich (he worked in the best Italian deli in Chicago to further hone his meat-stacking and condiment-slathering skills).

And this summer, he’s gone and gotten himself a shore house in Seaside Heights, Jerz where he can put all these skills to use every weekend from Memorial to Labor. Much like my feelings toward Callum Best, I’m not sure whether I should be jealous or disgusted with him. If any of you have never seen the episode of MTV: True Life called “I’m a Jersey Shore Girl” you owe it to yourself as an American to watch it. I’m pretty sure they even did a follow-up. If you watch this episode, perhaps you’ll better understand my conflicted mind state.

But the picture’s he’s sent already (they got their house a few weeks early. Shit doesn’t start going down for real until next weekend) look pretty cool and hopefully, he’ll send us a few good stories that we can post during slow periods.

Also, there’s this: njguido.com

And while I’m here, and before I forget because I’m trying to recount the weekend for a much-needed post, here’s something else that needs to stop: people who are not prohibitively old or on crutches riding elevators only one floor. There is an epidemic of this in my building. Can this practice possibly be defended? Argh.
