This Is The Thread Where I Say.......Part Seven!

I SO want to do this.

I regret to inform you that effective immediately, you will no longer have Chris P* to kick around. He's had enough, and will no longer consent to take it.

Please forward his final check to the address in your personnel files, and have a nice life, suckers.

Sincerely,

Luna

The problem is either that (a) I'm a pussy or (b) I care too much about this place to screw them over. But I'm constantly exhausted and depressed because of this stress and I'm bored and there is a better land!

I'm trying to stick with the "check only a few threads every once in a while" approach. But it's a black hole, it is...

Less talk, more travel.

Let's not lock it till we break 5000!

Yeah, I miss you guys too. I haven't updated my blog in quite a while either. I rarely check email. And I even forgot to turn on my phone for about 24 hours so I had all these messages from my family. Whoopsies.

I reak (sp?) of smoke from going to the Canasta show, but it was a lot of fun. I saw jaymc and kenan two weekends in a row! Crazy.

This morning, Nick and I went on a huge adventure in the Gold Coast a.k.a. Fancy Town and also saw the Chicago HIstorical Society Museum or whatever it was called.

My job is fine. The workers are all disgruntled, but also they've been there for a really long time. I just feel like, hey, I put in my time so I get to live in this great city. It's worth it.

Hi Sarah! Glad to hear your job is working out okay.

I felt the same way. Not much of interest in the Halls of Dead Stuffed Things. Even weirder: the botany wing (and it is a wing) was made up of fake plants. I can understand having so much respect for animals that you don't want to cage them, but plants? That's just laziness. A million square feet of museum, and the most interesting there is rocks. Oh, and that car that got hit by a meteorite. To be fair, I hear their scientists are top-notch and do renowned research, but the museum itself was a bore.

The aquarium is better. The planetarium is very cool, if you're in the mood to learn stuff. I haven't been to the Museum of Science and Industry yet, but I hear it's great, and I'm interested for the building alone. It's a stone replica of one of the plaster buildings of the White City, and it's in its original spot. Neo-classical gaudiness at its finest. They say it set architecture back 100 years.

I'd really love to address each and every single one of you and try to evince some kind of regular chattage type thing, but it's been an age and a day since I last kept up with this thread and so it would probably take an age and a day for me to type up that post. Besides, I'm fairly certain none of you would want to go through a post the size of a novella.

I've got Livejournal too -- have I mentioned that before? Yes? Have I pimped it enough on this forum? Maybe? Ok, let me just send it over the edge then.

De-Lurking in the Modern Age (my probably over-solipsistic journal)

There you go. Now you can read all the possibly overdramatic yammering I keep off this forum. ;)

Take care, you guys.

There's a slight wisp of a movement among Portland bands to get clubs to start shows somewhat closer to advertised times, but the only places where it's been successful... have moved to 4-band nights. Sheesh!
