I'm back on campus and about to go to class, but I can make a quick post.
Saturday I hopped the train to Chicago to meet Kimmeh and hang out with her, bellpickle, and Ryu. Kimmeh's aunt and uncle are awesome, very nice, very funny people (the kind of relatives I wish I had) and were awesome and picked me up at the train station. :B Then we went to the Museum of Science and Industry, wherein we met up with bell and fooled around for a few hours (Ryu joining us about halfway through). If you've got me on Facebook you can see photos and the like.
My favorite part, though, was eating dinner, because let's face it, food and friends are a great combination. We ate at Ed Debevicks, which, as Ryu put it, has a wait staff that fly the line between "customer service" and "lawsuit", which is actually better than it sounds.
I took a video while at the museum, and yes, the lighting is bad, so just shut your faces. It's not funny or intelligent, but it starts off with Kimmeh on a pole, so:
I wish I had more cohesive thoughts, but I'm fighting off this terror of going to my Intro to Vis Comm class and having to go, "My name is Ginger, and I'm a PC." Groan.
