went downtown last night…it was cold…and i think i inhaled about half a pound of wool from my scarf. mmm…wool. so yeah, yesterday a few of us wandered to Chicago and walked around. it was pretty uneventful but it was okay. a lot of stores close really early…even the sony store. boooo. i wanna go to the Sony store and look at the flatscreens. ah well…i think the walk in the bitter cold builds character…and if it doesn’t, we’re all screwed.
