casual ultimate » signs of the coming apocalypse

this post has been coming for a long time but now.. i cant stay silent any longer.. a bebe opened on damen. seriously. i mean i guess where else makes sense for that carnival of spandex and plastic rhinestones but across from cans? but still.. it is definitely the last nail in the bucktown coffin. marc jacobs? ok. bcbg? er.. club monaco? wait.. but bebe.. this is it people. the end is near. watching pre-teens with fake tans stroll out of intermix with a bag on their arm that costs more than my rent is just your average saturday afternoon at this point. i suppose the gentrification gods threw us a bone with the whole dairy queen / orange julius complex but just because you give me sprinkles doesnt mean someone shouldnt stage a protest outside of skankwear international. how do those women smoke? their clothes are mostly plastic and certainly flamable…

there goes then neighborhood. time to move to logan square.

in other news.. the new batman is quite good and much scarier than i thought. plus they flip a semi truck on south lasalle which is amazing to witness even on film. the olymipics are coming which is ore exciting than i expected. we are t - 7 weeks to the wedding and things are floating along. and last but certainly not least.. it sounds like everyones favorite team of speedo wearing gentlemen made it to the finals this weekend at sandblast so congrats to those dudes (if they still read this..) hey someone should post about sandblast. i want to hear all the play by plays.

alright.. gotta go. their unveiling a new gladiator.

im pretty sure this is a post about nothing but here it is anyway. so guess what? swimming is frickin hard! i went swimming for the first time tonight in preparation for the half triathlon in july with the cnd ladies and.. yeah. at least during the running part you can stop and walk if you are tired.. if you are beat and in the middle of the lake i don’t really know what you do. float? lets hope so. i hope there are some lifeguards. also i am going to try racing at the velodrome soon. which should be terrifying. i hope there are some lifeguards there too.

in other news.. ms. ultimate was in town for the last couple of weeks and it was wonderful. we went out on the town last weekend with the viking and t-brizzle.. just like the old days. drinks. dinner. ice cream. criticizing the outfits of everyone in lincoln park. seriously though.. we saw some lady wearing black and white leopard print shorts and black suade boots with fringe on them. this prompted our new category ’signs of the coming apocalypse.’ also in this category would be the appearance of an intermix on damen in wicker park. its getting dangerous out. fer realz. also we went and saw the ’sex and the city’ movie even against our better judgment. it was good but im glad we brought small pink cans of champagne.

the wedding is coming right up. best thing? we get to go taste cake this weekend. yeah cake. i love cake so much i want to take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant. um… anyway. its exciting. 3 months to go before im mrs. casual.
