Mahoooooootwoootfruuuuiiiit....

I'm baaaaaack from vacaaaaation! Here are the things that I learned while visiting the lovely Lake Michigan.
-No matter how much you Febreeze the couches in the rented beach house, they will obstinately continue to smell like mouse urine.
- It's darned cold up there.
-Falling asleep in the sun for 3 hours without waterproof sunscreen can result in a wicked all-over burn. Owwie.
- Cable television is glorious! Watching Nick at Nite until 2 in the morning...an Ace of Cakes marathon... Lifetime movies...the joy, the joy!
- Michigan City has an astounding lack of teenage boys. Go figure.
-It's called "The Windy City" for a reason. Don't wear short skirts while touring Chicago unless you want to pull a Marilyn-Monroe-holding-dress-down pose every few seconds...
-"Screwdriver Sandpiper" will be found hiding underneath the scarf on your bed.
- Sitting on the railing of your room's own personal balcony is a great way to spur sketch inspiration.
- While Chicago is marginally scary, it has some great record shops.
- Getting a mocha in Chicago is surprisingly darned hard to do. Jeez...
- Pardon my sacrilege, but Sufjan Stevens is the Lord Almighty.

Jeez. I haven't been on the computer in a week, and yet I'm getting the whole "Get offline go outside Nyah" thing...and I'll be outside for a week, computerless, starting tomorrow....arrrrrgh.
