A Quick Update. Cos I'm Just That Damn Busy.
Had a really productive weekend so far.
Thursday we went on a bus tour with a bunch of Yelpers to see various sites around the City of Chicago where Hollywood movies were filmed. It would have been a bit funner had it not rained, but we still managed to have a good time...and only paid $17 for parking at the Rock n' Roll McDonald's where the bus picked us up.
After the tour was over I took Greg to PK testing where he was supposed to start part one of a three-day taste test (which he was unable to make the last two days :(). We ate dinner at a nearby restaurant, Brandy's and went to Golf Mill to see Terminator: Salvation.
Friday, we got a late start (argh alarm!) and wasn't able to get to the Mayhem on Mansfield garage sale earlier than 2 pm. This was a huge sale with a ton of props that the owners previously used as a Halloween haunt in their neighborhood. I heard it was pretty big and scary and I am disappointed that it is no longer going to be run as of this year. Boo :(. Well we got outta there around 2:30ish and figured that an hour and a half would be sufficient to get all the way from the ass-end of the South Side to the ass-end of the Northwest Side, totaling 40 miles. But nooooo, we managed to get trapped in a horrific maze of streets and for some unholy reason traffic was backed up for miles. So in a nutshell, G. didn't make his appointment and now he won't get paid. Argh. At least he wouldn't have to take the bus on Monday.
We decided to go to Pita Inn and see the 7pm showing of Drag Me To Hell, which turned out to be a pretty awesome flick! Sure it had some gross-out moments, but it was what Greg referred to as "comedic gore" lol. After the movie was over, we decided to go to the casino because I was fairly wide awake and we ended up winning two dollars lol. This was after we nearly lost twenty, but G. got four Hermans on the Munsters slots so he ended up making his money back plus more :).
I worked Saturday, Sunday and today, that's about it for now.
EDIT: Almost forgot!!! We went to North Center's Ribfest on Sunday night after I got off work. It would have sucked more if a nice couple hadn't given us their last five food tickets that they couldn't use. So we ate a snack for free :).
I also got the world's greatest keychain from The Onion's booth. Their logo on one side and on the other "My Other Keychain Is Also A Piece Of Shit" ;).
