Things To Do Before I Blow This Popsicle Stand

26 January 2010 at 08:39 Comments off
  1. Dream road trip: Breakfast at Lou Mitchell’s, follow old Rt. 66 to Los Angeles, stopping at any roadside attraction that looks amusing. Drive up the coast along Highway 1 and then Rt. 101 to Seattle. Turn right, take I-90 back home. Breakfast at Lou Mitchell’s again, and this time, eat more beignets. Total length: about 7k miles. Best done in a rented convertible with really good speakers.
  2. Go to White Sox spring training. Scheduled for this March! Woohoo!
  3. See the Grand Canyon.
  4. Go to the Du Sable museum, which I never got around to visiting despite living two blocks away from it for two years, and I feel pretty bad about that.
  5. Spend some time up north. O Canada! VIA Rail across the country. See the northern lights in Manitoba. Eat poutine and go ice skating.
  6. Throw a big party so all my friends can drink up my booze collection. There will be cupcakes. And confetti. OH YES THERE WILL.
  7. Oh yeah, get accepted to grad school.

What else? There are other things on the list, I’m just drawing a blank at the moment. Will add to this if I remember them.

(You know what’s not on the list? Freaking Disneyworld.)

emigration, life goals, lists, moving none

  • Some day, I will learn not to make a yummy rare steak for dinner, then sit down for an episode of CSI. That day was not today. #
  • Hooray! Homework: nearly done. For now. #
  • Doing laundry and homework. Think laundry actually wins this war. #
  • How gleeful am I that “Don’t Stop Believin'” charted at #7 (Journey) and #3 (Glee) in Radio 1 Chart show? RIDICULOUSLY, OTT GLEEFUL. #
  • @smokes70 @seanware BECAUSE I COULD! (I went to the CSO and wanted to dress up my jeans.) Also because being 5’9″ is SUPER FUN. in reply to smokes70 #
  • Hey, @Ipstenu, is it Flatmate who wants to make soap? Poke me when you get a chance. #
  • Need to do homework, not browse for grad school programs. Booo. #
  • @christensen Wait, really? It’s not just, like, someone cracking a bad joke like I would? in reply to christensen #

  • Heading out to add liquor. This should be fun. (…for everyone watching me try to walk.) #
  • 5 Jokes About the Eagerness of Spineless Democrats to Cave on Health Care in light of Scott Brown’s Electoral Victory. http://is.gd/6TRA8 #
  • The only way to enhance the spectacle of me tottering around in 4″ heels tonight would be if I add liquor. #
  • @beth825 Detour? Ah, come now — Scully’s singing isn’t that bad, surely! in reply to beth825 #
  • Seriously, the fresh organic strawberries I splurged on at the shop last wknd were a great choice. These are insanely delicious. #
  • Doing homework readings and listening to @WFMTclassical – waiting for them to quit talking about Barber’s “Vanessa” & actually play it. #
  • Sometimes the food on http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/ is entertaining (Cherpumple Pie?) but often it’s just sort of disturbing. #
  • Here’s a first: coming home from training feeling sort of unfinished, and doing more workout at home. #
  • If you liked the Tribune’s Good News page, you may also like the (Toronto) Star’s Acts of Kindness page: http://is.gd/6St3S #
  • The thing about Saturday morning workout appointments is, I know I’ll be happy after, but dragging myself there can be pretty rough. #
  • I just read Address to a Haggis aloud to myself in a Scots accent. I couldn’t fool an actual Scot, but pretty sure I could most Americans. #
  • Currently obsessed with this notion of doing grad school in the UK. Not least bc moving to Scotland to do it might be cheaper than staying. #

  • @tzikeh Wait. JT did Hallelujah? I’m vaguely terrified now. in reply to tzikeh #
  • @ebertchicago Never do that again! in reply to ebertchicago #
  • Well, that flirtation with gnucash was … brief. Guys, the goal is to crash *less* than Quicken. #
  • Today’s first: emailed a request for a prospectus for grad school. Eep. #
  • You know, I really thought that after Evony was so soundly mocked for their “Look! Boobies!” ad campaign, the ads would go away. Not s’much. #
  • @cst_sox Images I didn’t need! in reply to cst_sox #
  • @Ipstenu Well, you’re also an Indians fan. Not much love there for him, I’m given to understand. in reply to Ipstenu #
  • Noooooooooo, Thome, don’t do it!!! We still love you! #
  • @Ipstenu Yeah. I can’t do anything about it at work, though. This poor laptop is going to have a very short lifespan from all the zaps. in reply to Ipstenu #
  • @smokes70 Knoppix cd? in reply to smokes70 #
  • Office is very hot. Everyone complains. I open a window. #
  • I am so unspeakably, incalculably tired of static electricity zapping the shit out of me whenever I touch anything this winter. #
  • @BrentDPayne Oh, it’s super cool! I went on a job interview there once, years back, the art displays were fantastic. in reply to BrentDPayne #
  • @tzikeh Oy. A world of WTF on that one. in reply to tzikeh #
  • I need a palm tree and an umbrella drink if I’m going to marooned here on this lonely desert island by myself. #
  • @jkknorr I don’t care, as long as he takes the Bugatti Veyron Mouse down it! in reply to jkknorr #
  • Happy Friday! #
  • Two hours playing practice poker with T. We are both locked and loaded (for really low stakes games)! #
