No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Nicole, I'm making some just in case reservations, so if something grabs you, tell me and I'll set it up. We'll see how it goes.

Also, yay Nicole in Chicago! I was thinking of asking Ellen if she wanted to come up.

Eh, gotta keep looking. I have oak cabinets, but black is fine. Wire shelves. But I'd love doors.

That's the Loop, basically. Or South Loop.

Going on the restaurant list, the only ones that would be problematic travel wise are the ones that just show directions, e.g. North/Northwest or South/Southwest. Lakeview is probably a $12 cab ride. All others are walking or less than $10 cab.

Post has been marked. Thanks, brenda! I am there Feb 24th - 26th, so all weeknights, but would love to see you. I'll ping you once the work schedule gets hammered out a bit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had a big lunch and am just now hungry for dinner. Well, it's too late! Maybe a cracker.

Punishingly Intricate

I did Disney marathon last year! I was just thinking how I was glad I didn't have to do it in this weekend's cold. Or do it this weekend at all. I do need to start running again though or at least walking.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I just got an early reservation link for Chicago Restaurant Week. 3 course meals, $32 bucks.

We did that in LA in Oct. Lucked into an amazing meal, truly amazing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

UCLA just rebuilt their main hospital a couple years ago and put in pneumatic tubes. I don't think they're going away any time soon.

Spent a few hours hanging out with SyFy movie actors. Man, those guys can talk shop. Now I know why they date amongst themselves. I shouldn't talk trash, the guy whose birthday it was was very nice and funny. I might have snagged an invitation to an elk BBQ.
