Home

I'm home. Not many other people are home, so it's sort of boring. I'll be back in Chicago around New Years (plus or minus two days). I have my old cell phone number, so you'll no longer obnoxiously get my little sister when you call (and hopefully I'll stop obnoxiously getting text messages from her 14 year old friends at some point). They're not actually all that obnoxious, I was just going for some parallelism. If you're in A-town, give me a call.

Opera


Forgot to post about the Opera we went to. It was called La Somnambula (The Sleepwalker). The story was pretty thin (girl sleepwalks, pisses off fiance, happy reunion), but the music was good. The actual opera house was incredible, and we had great seats in a private balconies, which was basically made us awesome. I left early with Crys, cause she was/is sick, and stood in the rain and nuclear-explosion-sounding-thunder for a while to catch the bus, only to get back just 20 minutes ahead of the people who'd stayed the whole time. Va bene, allora, whatever. It was a fun time.

Leaving in 11 hours for London. Leaving for home in about 40.
