- Body Worlds, currently on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, is pretty damn cool. Once you get over the initial reaction that what you are looking at were once living people, it’s impressive. Most impressive was the display on the circulatory system. Never before has a concept that was for the most part a bunch of red and blue lines on a chart of the human body more real.
- Old Main Street, also at the Museum of Science and Industry… not so much.
- Yay for the Chicago Skyway going to I-Pass.
- A significantly larger yay for the slow but sure process of me merging what I would consider the best of my life now with my “old life” from when I was living in Illinois. I don’t think I had made a conscientious decision to separate them before, but for some reason, I never actively tried to mix them. Strange, because the people I continue to associate from Illinois (as well as those in Illinois I only see every now and then) were pretty fucking cool, and to be able to start to share that (and me when I’m around them) with the people I care about now is satisfying.
- While I did have a bit of a “freak out” when I started to really analyze how much shit I had to get done before deadlines started to hit, I feel like I am really making some significant progress knocking that shit out. My progress over the last week has been really solid, and while it is difficult to keep up that kind of pace, I’m very confident that I’m making it happen. I just need to push hard and ride this wave as long and as hard as I can. Getting shit done feels good.
- I had a strange moment where I revisited (unintentionally) a part of my life via DVD I had put behind me. As I was watching the old band I used to work with, I started to remember a lot of the great things about it. Often, we focus on the bad, but as you get some time away from it, you get some decent perspective. If I think a little harder, I remember some of the difficulties, but really, in the end, I’m glad I was there, and I’m more glad to be associated with (and working for) the program.
- My hand writing has gotten significantly worse. Probably because I type everything and never really have to write anything anymore, just writing one page of stuff is strangely difficult. I recall being in school and taking copious notes with ease. I’m now officially a pansy.
- These things are like crack: crazy addictive. You’ve been warned.
