Had a good though occasionally dull winter break. Slept two hours before getting up loading the car, and moving back to the loop on Sunday. When I got there, I soaked last night's jeans in the bathtub so the vomit wouldn't stain. Yes, I had to move my jeans 80 miles before I had time to clean them. Bacardi 151, I love you but I hate you.

Looking forward to break, yet not looking forward to break. Feeling for the first time like I'd be missing things when I'm not in Chicago. And can't get further on the band when school's not in session, of course. Don't know what I'll do with myself. Wondering how early I should come back to the dorms - 2 weeks ( Read more... )

There are people filming a Hollywood movie down the street. The trailers are marked by the character names "Sophie Deveraux" and "Parker". Do these names mean anything to anybody?

I'm mourning the 7MB or whatever on my PC back home that's probably lost to the ages. I don't even remember what all there is that got lost on it, and I don't know if that makes me feel better or worse...as everyone knows I have this big hang-up about forgetting things, so I write down everything funny everyone says so I can remember "hey that was ( Read more... )
