You can probably get a replacement frame on Amazon, or take it to a kiosk in the mall to be fixed. I replaced the screen on Mrs. W's phone not too long ago and it was not a hard job, although you have to make sure everything goes back in the right order. There are a lot of good walkthroughs on the internet.raj bigson wrote:Anyone know what to do when the frame of an iPhone gets bent? Apparently it can't really be fixed and the best the Apple store will offer is a new phone for half price. This is for someone else going through shit, not me.

I'm not much of a sausage eater but when I have eaten them in recent years I've gone to Franks n Dawgs rather than negotiate Hot Doug's hours. Maybe it's heresy to say, but unlike a decade ago, I don't know that Chicago will really miss HD's that badly. Just like Kuma's hardly has the near-monopoly they once did. Respect to Doug for going out on top.

I think that is one of the better reactions I've read about this today.
Some people seem confused as to where they will get a hot dog from now on...in Chicago.

People won't miss the garden variety hot dogs. I've actually never ordered one from Hot Doug's. People are more upset about losing the specialty & wild game sausages with fancy toppings. But there's at least the one alternative Raj mentioned, and other respectable copycat(s) will probably open to fill the void.Nick wrote:Some people seem confused as to where they will get a hot dog from now on...in Chicago.
I'll also miss HD's fries, which are the best I've ever had, and half the reason I eat there. Duck fat fries remain overrated, though.
I guess there's also Doug's personality and the overall vibe of the place (decor, faux history of encased meats, great music). Just a perfect little establishment, which suffers only from popularity.

I can't sleep but my eyes are too tired to keep reading so I guess I am going to just post at you guys real quick. I had a very annoying day. It started off so well because I got a really great night of sleep and then leisurely walked to class while listening to The Field while digging the amazing weather. Before class I ran into some doctoral students in philosophy that I've become somewhat-familar with (but not at all friends) and bullshitted for a bit. They ended up talking about the struggle of having to teach courses and it somehow devolved into weird rambling about Kanye West's misogyny. One of the girls was really pissed about it but I found it really obvious and boring that she would be. Not to say that obvious and boring observations don't always hold weight but I think we can collectively focus our critical lenses on something other than Kanye's proclamation that he would 'rather be a dick than a swallower.'
I went to class and my teacher was talking about contemporary poetry and how nobody cares about it. He wasn't railing on people as much as just pointing out what he thought to be some undeniable fact. Isn't hip-hop just contemporary poetry? So isn't poetry actually one of the most commercialized art forms of our period where artists like Dr Dre are now massive Apple executives or whatever…
Then I went to a class where I figured out that my teacher had a life-long infatuation with the philosophy of Ayn Rand and actually wrote an article about it for Salon. It's actually a really well-written article and his biography is somehow very endearing. I still think it is kind of stupid, but hey, whatever floats his fucking boat.
But really I'm just staring to think that I am either too crazy or not crazy enough to ever fit into a cohesive and meaningful social grouping. Sometimes I take my education really seriously (even though I'm just an undergraduate) and think that it is just a really engaging, important, and self-fulfilling activity. Other times I am confronted with dorks who couldn't be further removed from what I consider to be engaging or important questions and interests. It's weird. There is just something obviously priestly and ascetic about a lot of these 'professional' philosophers that make them really irritating and self-obsessed. I've totally exhausted all my philosophy courses in two years so I am looking for another major. Our English department seems kinda shitty and lately I've been thinking about Art History… (I don't know why).
I'd like to think that this will be a very productive summer for me. I will be spending all of my time in a massive, cosmopolitan city with an abundance of free time. I really want to check out the city, relax, and try to refocus my goals and pursuits so that I don't end up being actually unhappy in the future. Because overall my life is actually really cool and I'd like it to stay that way for as long as possible and get the most out of it that I can.
Yup.

My girlfriend translated this text from Italian into English and then asked me to correct her errors. She told me that the sheer incomprehensibility was entirely due to the author's poor grasp of her own language. I've never met this woman, but I'm already terrified of her.
- Spoiler:
- “Agatha doesn’t dream any more” Berlin, May 2014
I am Agatha, 33, pregnant.
My partner, the father of my child, just whispered me he wants to organize a big event, we called it “the celebration of love”, we don’t believe in marriage as an agreement, we believe in love … (he smiles), he is handsome and loves freedom.
Freedom, as we understand it, means “I am free to be whoever I am and to make my life becoming my masterpiece, without anything being imposed from society”.
I always dreamt of a love on a caravan that could bring me worldwide, where one could love and procreate with the auspices of the Mother Earth…
And in the meantime I take benefit of waiting and take care of my garden until I can deliver my happiness.
I love you because I feel like this is the right moment, I saw you walking all the way with modesty, in places that are forgotten by prosperity but not by simplicity.
I want to live in a place where the main treasure is solidarity, humanity, where people listen to you and look you in the eyes, in a place where people have so much respect for each other.
I wish that thoughts were not like cages for the human beings but they seize the sun with they own body.
Thinking is useful only if it doesn’t grab our sights, otherwise one starts to be tormented and doesn’t listen to anything.
There is no need to promise eternal love, one should be free to love until one wants to, and we shouldn’t fear that someone else could steal the one we love, love doesn’t know possession.
We took a seat on a river shore, water was flowing together with our words.
Words that tasted like our future without knowing that.
I wish I could raise our child in a society where women authority is recognized, because in such societies where it is not in force, people suffer because of that.
If every person could give vent to his own discretions, if one could identify with a model which he feels like similar to himself, instead of tying with a society that force people to conform, then maybe such society could be prosperous, various, without taking account of conformity.
Love me until you want to, but try to nurture our love, taking care of it until the end. Let our child run in the meadows, let us love each other to love him; we are going to teach him to respect himself because through respect for himself, he will respect the others.
We will warn our child that the world is good as much as it is bad, but we are not going to prevent him from exploring it, also if that means to be wounded.
We will tell him that it is always better to tell the truth rather than pretend to be happy.
We will tell him that there will be someone to rescue him from every evil.
We will give him time to meditate the eternal moment of silence, so that he can communicate with his own interiority, because he should believe in it such as a superior God.
I would like to teach him the beauty of kindness and to be gentle with the gentle people and with the rude ones. We will give him strength not to conform, even when everyone else is jumping on the bandwagon.
We will teach him that it is better to leave money to those who got no creativity to live, and that money makes people avaricious and sad.
It would be nice to make him discover that different culture exist and that he should not fear diversity, but he should learn that different cultures are a strength for the society.
I hope he will be strong to those who are going to try to overthrown him and he is going to hold up his justice when he is right, not fearing the ones who want to see him doomed.
I hope he will learn to wait, to gather the best fruits, but also that he has the urgency to explore the world and never think that there will be the perfect moment to travel, every moment is perfect.
I hope he is going to make love to love, and that every known body doesn’t become something to thrown away, but that those experiences will help him in the final place where he belongs.
All this my son, I wrote before my sentence and your birth. I killed my father, your grandfather, he abused me. Because of his punches and his brutality when I was a child, my uterus is deformed. I will barely give you birth and then I will probably die, but I am peaceful, because I will leave you with your father.
I always thought I could not ever have children if I would not meet a person like him, because what I wrote are the values I want to leave you with and your father is going to be able to teach you when I am not there.
When you will feel overpowered from society because it wants you in a way you don’t want to be or to be together with someone because otherwise they are going to call you awkward, remember your mother, who, no matter what, carried a person who could share the same values, to spread them sincerely.
Have a goal, also if abstract, build it and don’t let other people to damage it, not even your father.
Remember that we gave you life, but you are a child of the world, respect it and don’t think that we are your only family. Broaden your experiences to other cultures, don’t fear them; there will be something of you in it, it might seem strange, but it is like that. Your above is where you are going to meet peace. Learn to stand up for yourself, even if someone considers you mad, because you believe in your ideas. They are going to be your strength and build your personality. You are going to be yourself and not what other people expect from you. Listen to every person, who wants to speak to you, but learn how to sift reality.
You will be born under a weeping willow, which is a positive symbol in Orient, it represents immortality and eternity.
My remains are going to be casted in the Irish sky, where years ago I met a beautiful Irish couple, who used to live in a village closed off to everything. People who lived alone, but their inner being could be listen to other people like few people are able to do. There I saw true love for the first time and started to believe in it.
So, before I say goodbye, they told me “Agatha, you don’t need to much money in this world, but good ideas, good work”.
To kill my father was not one of those good ideas I had in my life, but the sorrow was so strong and I wanted to make him suffer as much as he made me. In the end, nothing changed, sorrow never heals, but it will die with me.
You are going to be born and I see your father, who takes care of us and this gives me a lot of serenity.
The love I met during my journeys converted in the people with whom I decided to share a part of my life and those people are you and I could not ask anything better.
Your father promised us a home and I am pretty sure it is going to have wheels. This will permit you to continue to explore the world.
I understood that in front of death any mutation is possible, but in front of poverty of love we can hope in a change.
And so now I can stop to dream, this is all, I will close my eyes and sleep for eternity, dear son take care of yourself and the world.

One of the directors of my department is resigning. I should be in line to get the job but think I am going to be passed up for an outside hire.
I saw the VP talking to this huge 8 ft. tall looking black guy with glasses.
Motherfucker.

the range of emotions these last 20 hours have been plentiful.
saw Life Itself last night, and just now had to lay off someone - although I'd known that was coming for about 3 weeks. HR sure adds a lot of unnecessary stress when you've known about having to do it for this long before finally letting that person know.

Fuuuuuuuck. It happened again. Was encouraged to apply for one of my dream jobs, made it through three rounds of interviews, absolutely killed the final interview with the hiring manager, and I just learned that I was the fucking Runner Up. Again. Twice in five months.
I am so frustrated

That seriously sucks. Been there before too. To get that far is an exhausting process and I'm sure you'll be in the darkest of depths for a bit but will bounce back.
Interviewing for jobs / career paths are one of those things - especially for talented people - where I really believe "everything happens for a reason" so stay strong.

Thanks, Nick. Feeling better already. I mean, I have a great job in which I'm perfectly happy. And I am very encouraged that I am making it so far in these recruitments- I'm confident something will come up soon.

Yes we are, I like the idea of tying in 'I Can't Help Falling In Love With You', the choir, Pachelbel's 'Cannon in D' the lines about floating through space and time, getting strong today on a song that is on my favourite albums of all time. We're toying with having the Order of Service mocked up like the artwork as she's a pharmacist.

Have a company outing at a COO's house where there is a pool. Have been getting in shape for the past 3-4 weeks for this event to impress the young lady I mentioned in another thread who is likely to be in attendance. Have now been sick for 4 days and not much able to eat, nor work out, I have lost what looks to be, like, 50% of the gains I made.
Might just say fuck it and take a nap at the bottom of the swimming pool, whats the point in living.
