Windy

My travel plans for the summer are coming into focus. Minneapolis and New York City next month, and in July I’m heading back to Chicago.

What I like about Chicago: Improv. The extremely large McDonald’s. Barack Obama. Millennium Park. How a single slice of pizza there is enough to feed four people from a third world country.

I love the vibe. A lot of people have said that it’s like New York with less bite; I think there’s still plenty of bite but definitely more nice.

If the two were restaurants, New York would be the place where the food is exquisite, the waiter exhibits a snarky contempt for you (and wants to know what the fuck you lookin at), and the floor is sticky. Chicago on the other hand is a sports bar / rib place where everything’s good — and there’s a lot of it — and it’s fun and comfy and a Bears game is always on. They’re both different but lovable experiences for me.

My Xbox is finally going back to Microsoft to get its fix on. I’ve been really pissed off without delicious GTA action. It makes me want to go out there and activate some IRL GTA action. It’s a good thing I’m mild mannered.
