gnat does something impulsive (and nobody is surprised)

besides the whole, deciding to move to chicago thing, which i think also falls under the "gnat does something impulsive" umbrella along with piercing my nose and going to france sophomore year of college.

but i digress.

i sent my camera back to the manufacturer today, the warranty isn't quite up and the lens is finicky so everything looks blurry and out of focus when i turn it on. hopefully they can fix it and send it back. in the meantime i thought it was a damn shame to do this big move without a spiffy camera to record it all, so i hopped into bobby the silver sentra (who is a little miffed that he is getting left behind in favor of much crappier and less drivable weather) and made my way down to best buy where i promptly bought the most beautiful little point and shoot canon digital camera you ever saw. photos to follow (taken WITH the camera, not OF the camera).

today was my last thursday/funday with patty and the other kids. tomorrow is my last day of work - we will just have to see if i survive.

AND i just found out that not only does taste of chicago, an entire festival just about food, start the day after i get there, but also that BELL BIV DEVOE of hideous pant legend is going to have a free concert mere blocks from my apartment. to which, of course, i say YES PLEASE!

pictures of my dirty dirty dirty apartment (and of bell biv devoe) to come later.
