My last few days in the dirty Mil have been pretty damn fine, despite the mouth injury. It was pretty sad saying goodbye to my kids at the tutoring place, and two of them made me cards which was way cute.
Furthermore, "Hopscotch" (aka "Rayuela" if your inclined toward Spanish) is probably one of the greatest books I've ever read. I've been annotating like a mother fucker and wikipedia and my (NEW!) French dictionary are my new best friends. The margins are nearly full, and so is my mind! The protagonist believes that the only way to defeat the absurdity of the universe is to live an absolutely absurd life, which is just marvelous and I subscribe to it wholeheartedly. I'm REALLY excited to go through the second novel contained in the book.
Now I'm off to finish packing! Thank you, Milwaukee. You're eternally welcome to visit me in Chicago, or to just use my couch to crash.
Chicago, here I come!
Yours right now,
