Sunday night happy time!
I'm not in a politically cranky mood, unusually, so I will have to get back to moderate Mark's comments on my last post. I'm surprised the issue of my lost nice red dress shirt doesn't excite as much passions as my discussion of anti-terrorism policy. They both are equally relevant, in my view.
Instead I'm going to list some socially promising things to lull myself to sleep on a Sunday night with false hopes of achieving inner peace.
1) My Spanish classes start this week. It's a small instruction program with a class size of maximum 6 people. It's my first serious pursuit of enrichment beyond what's in my degree program, and I hope to at least meet 5 likeable people out of it, as well as gain some language skills that could make me more marketable. Muy bien! Tenga una reserva. [other Spanish words]
2) Next weekend is Intonation Music Fest! And because I volunteer I get free tickets for both days and a t-shirt! I don't know what I'll be doing really, but maybe I'll be hanging out with bands or something, going to stores buying them everything they demand to propertly do a kick-ass performance. I hope they don't make me do anything illegal. If possible I will see what pictures I can get and post cool ones up here.
3) Finally, I want to be vague because I always raise my expectations about these kind of things, but at the last Jewish community event I went to Friday night, I met someone nice who seemed to have reciprocated my desire to have substantial conservations with new people, and this person later on expressed interest in meeting and doing a general tourist thing, since we are both relatively new to Chicago. She was pretty friendly with a lot of folks at the event, so I don't know what to make of it, but if I get to hang out with a Jewish lady outside of a synagogue setting and find out more about them, that should count for something regardless of what it leads to, right? Any of my female friends want to poke and prod and tease?
So it will be a great balance between new activities and the productive drudgery of work this week. I'm looking forward to it.
Now where's my red shirt dammit! I can't work the charms with a freakin' tan short sleeve!

So, we are heading to Chicagoland on Friday, but, as usual, we will arrive pretty late. Where is the Music Fest? Downtown Chicago...? Let us know, and we will see if we can join you. Oh, also, how long will it last (all day, everyday, etc)? Good to know, because we were unable to make it to the IMAX two weeks ago, and plan on seeing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory there this time 'round (if you would like to join us). Let us know!
