Damn This Wind!

so far i really love chicago. i have spent entirely too much money at the target across the street from the arena- but what the heck else am i going to do when i have a 5 hour break from work and cant go back to the train? today we had a dark day. dark day = day off! woo-hoo! i actually woke up early- 9am- did laundry, had a great chocolate shake at some mexican restaurant and went to see the movie, american gangster- great movie. i was asked how i can stand to have a cold shake when it is so cold outside- i think the high today was about 40. i informed the person that 1. we arent even close to the lakes yet, so they better prepare themselves for real winter and 2. i am from minnesota. i am back at the train now- casey and i are going to catch a bus- hop on the red line and go into his old neighborhood and eat dinner at a hole in the wall italian restaurant that he fell in love with when he lived here. tomorrow i have to go into work to muck out- alex said he would let me ride asia tomorrow!!! so i am bringing my camera and this time i can get a real picture- not just one on my phone! tomorrow night we are going to WICKED!!! oh man i am so excited for it- i should get back from work around noon- i think the plan is that we will catch the train into the city and go exploring. i really want to see field museum- so hopefully we have enough time to do that. the play is at 7. cant wait. well- time to go eat dinner
