things are good. things would be GREAT if i had some money, but it seems like everyone is in that position so i can't really complain. things would also be GREAT if some lawrencians who shall remain nameless would just move here already (i'm including katie and patrick in that category even if they aren't lawrencians).

things i appreciate about chicago right now:
-leaves falling from the trees
-random cuban independence parades
-dogs, dogs, dogs
-a wide variety of restaurants to choose from (costa rican to barbecue to french to smoked gouda mac n' cheese)
-courtney, wink and walt
-friends that i haven't seen yet but feel comforted knowing that they are here
-the fact that i don't feel weird staying in on a friday night to drink three buck chuck and watch 'harold and maude' for the first time

how are things with you?
