sweet home chicago, full day #001:

- slow, sleepy late-ish start
- but still earlier than i wake up for work
- weird how that happens
- putting some lights on the tree
- listening to the velour family christmas compilation
- please ignore me sounding like a complete idiot doing that whole ho, ho, ho santa thing at the beginning
- sometimes the studio brings out the goofy in you
- trying to plan out the day
- insert running joke about my family making plans
- il forno's pizza
- oh my gosh it's even better than i always think it is
- so so so so so sososososososo good
- off to chicago
- everyone else must have had the same idea
- traffic traffic traffic traffictraffictraffic
- finally get into the city just a little too late to go to the museum of contemporary art
- i guess that will have to wait for summer
- hopefully i make it home in the summer
- h&m
- so very many nice blazers and coats
- exerting as much self control as i can muster
- still spent a lot
- that's right
- i bought more stuff for myself
- before getting any christmas shopping done
- because i am kind of a bad person
- sometimes
- stop at a weird downtown best buy that has very limited options of all the things i am looking for
- so my christmas shopping continues to be foiled
- but i do have some ideas for friends finally
- lame-ish ideas
- but ideas nonetheless
- (unrelated: the word nonetheless is awesome)
- eating at a random italian place that was nearby that i don't remember the name of
- tasty
- but, please, water guys, refill my cup with mostly water next time
- and not so much ice
- it will lead to less refilling for you
- cause i can drink a glass full of ice and a tiny bit of water very quickly
- off to see a movie
- cutting the time close
- park at the first lot we can find
- just enough time to get tickets
- "just so you know there are only 6 seats left so you may end up separated"
- well, we can just go to the showing in lincolnshire
- when the public parking lot sign says $14 for an hour or less, they mean it
- even when that or less is like seven minutes
- what a racket
- back towards home and the movie
- black swan
- whoa
- seriously
- home after a long day
- my old room has been repainted and gotten all new light fixtures
- it's a little weird
- but it looks a lot better
- too bad my mom never wanted to renovate while i still lived there
- super high pressure shower
- one of my favorite things about home
- like, so strong that i have a red circle on my chest afterwards
- i love it
- favorite home made cookies
- and ovaltine
- quite the way to end a night
