In chicago!

Yay, I’m here. =)

Thursdays are always my long day, and tacking a plane trip on to it does nothing to make it shorter. Starting off with godawful early gymanstics, staying seated for most of the day, and carrying lots of heavy bags around when not seated, sitting on a plane which (again) sits on the runway for inordinately long span of time, then sleeping on a couch has left me a little sore, but still glad to be here.

Stayed up late talking with my wonderful host . Sadly, that may be the longest span of time that I get to see him this trip, but we shall see. =)

Also unexpectedly ran into Seth, whom I haven’t seen in years, on the L. He was getting off a stop before mine, I was checking out the station signs and there was the uncertain eyes meeting, so I took a longer walk than necessary, but had the opportunity to get ribbed by him about my housing instability. I would still be very amused to introduce him to Seth Kingman (friend from cmu, and long time minneapolis resident). I can’t help but dread the abuse by wit I would suffer were the two ever to meet, but it would be terribly entertaining. =)

Today I will continue to lounge for a bit, post several entries I’ve been meaning to get around to, grab some food at the Blind Faith Cafe, then head down to downtown to use the library’s wireless and hang out with Ellen (of Simon) when she gets free. Then more Joel time. And tomorrow I’ll probably go swimming with the smelts, hang out with and who sadly won’t be joining me for the concert later in the evening, go to the concert, come back here and get ready to go back to minneapolis.

Brief, but enjoyable. And it’s so much warmer here. Why, I bet it’s barely below freezing outside. =)
