My kind of town...

[severin]

Chicago was amazing.  Life is amazing.  I have definitely decided that I am going to start applying for some jobs in Chicago (I will still apply to jobs in Madison as well).  I was able to see everyone I wanted to see (minus one person who was kind of hung over the whole weekend), and I got to eat Greek food and sweet potato fries at Clarke's and Armenian food, which is pretty much just like Georgian food, which I miss immensely.  (Seriously, why hasn't Georgian food caught on in the States yet?  It's amazing.)  And I had mini-adventures, like helping out projecting/running concessions at a classic film showing, and getting hit on by weird crazy old men.  And going on the El (I <3 the El) and getting stuck in a turnstile (I also <3 the word "turnstile") and having to swipe my card like three times.  And all of my worries were for naught; I really should just learn to relax and let things happen and not spend a whole bunch of time being anxious about stupid stuff.  And I went to the Museum of Science & Industry and saw all the trains! (Yay trains!)  And sat in an old cable car!

Can you tell I am excited?

I would like to share some quotes from the weekend that I found amusing:

S. [comes home, everyone is grinning stupidly] "What's going on?  You guys look like you all got trashed last night and fucked each other or something."
His gf: "Yeah, we didn't exactly get trashed..."

S's partner @ store, to employee: "I bet when you signed up for this job you didn't think you'd be fucking one boss while the other beat up two women at the same time in the next room over."

Dean of camp: "Yeah, I had two cats, and [her partner] had two cats, so now we have four..."
Me: "It's like the Brady bunch!"
Dean: "Yeah, the lesbian Brady bunch.  Lots of cats."
