Pops for Champagne and The Shrine

Hey ppls,

I checked out 'Pops for Champagne' and 'The Shrine' last night for my besties bday.  

'Pops for Champagne' is the cutest little champagne bar.  The waiter was just as cute too.  He was this funky old man with a bow-tie.  There is a bar in the middle and booths all around.  There is also a chance to catch some live jazz too.  The place is really cool and quaint and i suggest that everybody check it out.  The website is http://www.popsforchampagne.com/ and im sure going to go visit again sometime.

The Shrine is a nice lil spot to boogie and drink.  Its not too small and not too big and well kept.  Not once was i scared that i was going to get shot, slapped or ran over.  It  kinda reminda me of a 'darker' Funky Buddah lounge.  One thing that impressed me was at one point i heard a security guy tell a girl to put her shoes back on, lol.  All in all as far as clubs go it was a cool spot. The website is http://www.theshrinechicago.com/ and id check it out if you're still into clubs.

I.C.E. theaters a.k.a. 87th

Smh... Where to start...

So Sunday my best friend and i decided to go to see 'Couples Retreat'.  We'd been trying to go see it all weekend.  We usually go to the AMC in river east but because she has her car we decided to go to the movies on 87th for the free parking, but boy did we pay...  Having been already trained by the AMC downtown, we promptly arrived 20min early because the movie was recently released and we were sure there would some type of crowd... We walk in to purchase our tickets from the ticket booth that is literally about a foot away from the main entrance and we are greeted by one of the most unhappiest women known to man. 
From there we went to the consetion stand to order TWO items... 'The BIGGEST coke you have and a box of raisinettes.'  We recieved a box of raisinettes and a smile, therefore we had to re-order the coke which was the entire reason for us even going to the stand...
So now we go to the theater, we hand the tickets to the man and he say 'O the theater's not ready yet'... It was 7pm and the movie started at 7:20! So we took this oppurtunity to 'people watch' and boy did we see... First we saw the security 'check' the womens purses as they went into the theaters... like really 87th? Has it been that bad??? Then we saw some of the most hot mess wearin ppl that have ever crossed state lines. It was so bad until at one point i looked over at my dear bff and her mouth was WIDE open in shock, LOL.  I wish i would have taken a pic of that!!! So finally around 7:15 the theater is ready, we walk in and us and two other ppl were there, THATS IT!!! THEN we sat there for about ten minutes (after 7:20 which was when the movie was suppose to start) in silence... nothing on the screen AT ALL! No music, mo commercials, no nothing! So finally around 7:40ish the first commericial comes and it is 4 black teens on a bus stop talking about sex and aids... i just shook my head. That would have never flew downtown! So the movie starts and its still us 4 in the theater... as the movie progress about 3 more couples came in, smh. I wont even start about CP time. It finally dawned on us that all the black people went to see 'Black Dynamite' and could have cared less about this VInce Vaughn movie...  We know next time though... free parking at 87th aint so free!!!


Just as empty as ever 10min AFTER the movie was suppose to start...

Just relaxin with her feet up cause it aint like she could accidentally kick anyone...

Screen just as blank as ever!!! Post time to start!

My house can't be your home... I dont think...

Hey Jodi,

Ok so im married with 3 kids and i am happy. I love my family and wouldnt trade them for anything in the world. But i am a young father, and our 10yr anniversary is coming up. Ive never cheated on her (during our marriage) and i dont plan on it. Now i say all this not say this: My ex has fell on hard times and needs a place to live. Although we have remained friends throughout the years, the sexual attration betweens us is undeniable. Whenever i havent found an excuse not to see the ex and we do hang out, i always have to cut it short so we dont end up admiring the ceiling fan, nah mean Jodi? Now on the one hand she is me friend that i dont care about and i wouldnt want anyone living on the street that didnt have to. On the other hand she'd be too close, and i know she still has feelings for me and my penis still has feelings for her vajayjay (as you ladies call it now) and i dont know how thats gonna work... Also my wife doesnt know that we ever hooked up. So what should i do Jodi? Would you let your ex move in with you and your husband? Help me out here!

-dont wanna sex the ex



HA! Ur funny 'dont wanna sex the ex',

Whenever a man goes on like you just did in the begining that means not only have you thought about sexing the ex, your penis is pretty pissed at you that you are having second thoughts! LOL! Ok so you and your ex are homies and she needs a place to live, so ironically this woman that still has feelings for you looked towards YOU. Does she have any family she could stay with? Friends? Co-workers? Strangers? I mean hell... Why would she not exhaust every option before you anyways? If i was her i wouldnt wanna see you all hugged up with the wifey and the kiddies with the big white picket fence, naw ill pass. I would first see (and make sure) she has no other options... Then if she has no other options I would see if any of your friends could house her... Its really not a good look to have the ex in the house with the fam, but if push comes to shove you have to do what you have to do. Now here is the elephant in the room, ur wife dont care if she stays with you??? Even if she dont know yall use to freak she has a nootch! Like dang dude, you got it like that? Maybe you need to givin me advice, ya dig? Lol. Putting that aside, i would say avoid it at ALL cost. Its something smelling fishy to me about this situation and you got too much to loose to get caught up. Smell me?

And as for if i would let my ex move in with me and the hubby, i doubt the man i marry would even let that go down, at least without a fight... literally...

Let me know what happens,
Jodi~
