am currently nearly all packed up and ready to take the el straight to lovely, scenic, and convenient (HA HA OF COURSE I LIE) o’hare international airport, where some nice people from american airlines are going to let me ride on their shiny airplane all the way to dulles international airport. from which i will then depart, go visit some friends for a couple of days, and then eventually return back home.

in other news, i really like saying “dulles.” dulles, dulles, dulles. dulles! isn’t it a fun word? dul-les! dul-less! what a great word. what a great lot of sleep i’ve been missing out on lately if i’m this entertained by the name of an airport. i’m going to be offline the whole time i’m gone. i’m more than a little frightened by the prospect of how much email will await me upon my return. also, please, chicago, IT’S OCTOBER TWELFTH. STOP SNOWING, FOR THE LOVE OF PETE. turn off the wintertime! this is not cool! i was late for work this morning because i couldn’t remember where i put my hats and gloves when i moved into this new apartment! okay, y’all. now i am just sitting here wasting time online writing a nonsense-filled blog post in order to avoid finishing packing. i must finish packing. i have a 6:25AM flight. i must finish packing. NOW, SABRINA!
