come enjoy the concrete beaches of chicago
they actually have those. its rather odd. anyway, im home from the windy city, and i thought i'd just go ahead and share some things i learned on the trip. so here it is:
THINGS I LEARNED IN CHICAGO
1. Much of said city smells like a toilet.
2. Not all homeless people behave strangely, but some of them do. And how.
3. It is totally possible to achieve a certain degree of euphoria with only a strobe light and some paper. Er-- a lot of paper.
4. I wish i had a million dollars.
5. Queen Street West is not the only magical place of its kind. Proof? Belmont.
6. Blue is a very good color.
7. Lots of people really like the movie "Ferris Beuller's Day Off." myself included.
8. Help ever, hurt never.
9. People will pay a lot for something they really want, even if it is disgustingly overpriced. Darned minibar...
10. Getting new things is exciting.
11. I can still run 4 miles.
12. I like blues.
13. I still love Jamba Juice.
14. Jamba juice makes lip gloss! (I bought some).
15. You can get used to almost anything.
16. I have mixed feelings about cities.
17. DC changed my sentiment towards cities.
18. There's a lot of cool stuff out there.
19. Our family really knows how (and how often) to vacation.
20. Talking to fish is enjoyable.
21. Dolphins really are that brilliant.
22. There's this animal called a sea dragon. It looks a lot like a sea horse except more dragon-y. And one species of it looks like a plant. It has LEAVES. It's amazing. THIS is an actual PHOTO!
23. Levi jeans are cool.
24. You can't get a frappucino with soy milk.
25. A smoothie can easily be a meal.
26. Subways are a good idea.
27. Basically, my feet hurt all the time.
28. Every girl should own pure silk pants. I do!
29. I love urban outfitters.
It was a very educational trip.
OH, and i think i might have found my college. Anderson University. Went there today, very cool.
music: blues, bien sur.
by the way... i stayed at the House of Blues hotel in Chicago.
