I got really excited today. I stepped out to buy a book, and I finally felt the Chicago wind beat down on me. It was sooo wonderful, and made me miss Minnesota, but at the same time, it reassured me that Chicago is going to make a damned fine new home. It put me in such a good mood to be enduring the elements again in a big coat with scarf, when ( Read more... )

Never done one of these before, I don't think. Oh well. Fill it out if you want to. Make me laugh and you'll win a prize. Do it awesomely serious and you'll win a prize ( Read more... )

Today I was going to go job hunting, but the L was down for a bit, so instead I went back to the apartment and did some homework. Jon called and we went to the Art Institute and bastardized their donation policy by only giving two dollars when the suggested admission is $7-12. That's why you don't give people a choice, because poor college ( Read more... )

So today I didn't work out (who would have thunk it?) and spent it revising for Tutoring today and finishing homework for tomorrow. Tutoring is awesome. Dolly, my tutor, is a really good at tutoring, even if she is a bit socially awkward. I think I'm blowing her and my Fiction Writing teacher away with my dedication. I don't think they get many ( Read more... )

I'm am dead tired, probably still recovering from Sunday. I have a fair amount of homework, but only two hours of tutoring tomorrow, and I have all the work done for that class.

And it is unto these untold times that specifically one cannot completely place that in which he holds most dear.

Did you read that? How unnaturally full of verbatim? Yeah. Fuck Dickens. I can write just like him.

I fell asleep at around 3:30AM. I wouldn't really like to say "fell asleep," but rather, pass out in spite of all the noise that was happening in that fucking apartment. People showed up about at the time I went to sleep, and this did not please me. This did not please me at all ( Read more... )

Last night, I went up to Megan's, and Bob n' Megan came over. Bob had the mad fly hook-up, so then we went to Improv Olympic to see a rock opera, that was sooo fucking hilarious. Holy shit. Chicago has an awesome stage scene, no matter what. This was twenty times better than anything Comedy Sports ever has done. Think about a cast of 10 people ( Read more... )

I'm keeping a paper journal now, too. It's encouraged for my classes, and I find I really love having it around with me ( Read more... )
