Negative Waves, Issue #111

November 17th, 2005

This week’s Negative Waves once again has me silenced. It appears I’m burning out and have beers to drink, wars to wage, “Lost” episodes to see, an incredibly busted Treo 650 (so everyone, if you have my 408 number — call that one instead, get it from someone, or email me because I’m not going to get text messages), and a boss on vacation that I have to do meeting sit-ins for, and so — my triumphant return to the column roster will have to wait because my life is freakin’ chaos.

The Mikes hold it down this week.

• Matt starts distributing the whupping in the Editor’s Note as usual and gives you the overview. NW’s been at it for 6 years now. That’s a long time.
• Mikey’s hell-bent on becoming an internet celebrity, but see that pic? Mikey’s in the clink. Want to know why he went to The Big House? Don’t you want to know why he uses the word “asscheeks” so much in his column this week, “My Time In The Slammer“? I bet you do.
• The always prolific Mike Chesta has been playing entirely too many XBox games lately. This week, he has a review of the James Bond game, “From Russia With Love” from EA. I have two questions: 1) What is with Chesta’s hang-up with James Bond, anyway? 2) Is he going to run out and get an XBox 360? I wonder.
• Mike also tackles his street in the Lincoln Square neighborhood on Chicago’s northside and claims that he’s “residing squarely on the fault line between gentrification and Damnation Alley.” Why, Mike, WHY? Find out what the big deal is on his column, “My Useless Street.”

Well, that’s it. I think Mikey’s upset at me. Here’s some of the IM exchange going on right now:

Mikey: You didn’t get your column in?
Me: nope.
Mikey: aw!
Me: :(
Mikey: i was all excited to read it.
Mikey: hrmphf.
Me: i’m SORRY!

I only have one thing to say… Man Handel!
