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?

hired. by the breast cancer place. i'm not sure what else. but i start on monday.

i bought a megabus ticket for thanksgiving weekend that i'm going to have to reschedule (because my parents are flying me to kc for thanksgiving). i think i just have to reschedule before the trip happens and i think i can reschedule for anytime. so if anyone has any ideas for things coming up in like january and beyond that i should come back (and if someone can pick me up?), let me know. weeeeeee.

we are here.

i am writing you this note from the logan square library. i am typing from a computer in the children's section. i am wearing a suit and waiting for courtney to print her resume and then we will go get hired. we better get hired. i want to buy some furniture.

courtney and i keep going to specific restaurants to eat dinner and they are always closed when we go. friday night we tried to eat pizza but ended up at handlebar (again). saturday night we tried to go to the cozy corner diner but ended up eating mexican. last night we tried to go to irazu (or something costa rican) and ended up eating at penny's. it's been quite an experience.

i really miss everyone.
