New favorite thing: German chocolate cake. Holy fuck whoever thought of putting coconut, walnuts, caramel and chocolate cake together is a genius. I got a piece at Veggie Bite this evening and it basically rocked my world just as hard as the piece I got from Chicago Diner. I also got an Oreo milkshake, which I inhaled in the time it took to venture from Veggie Bite back to Danielle’s, a distance that takes roughly 3 1/2 minutes to walk. Temptations brand vegan ice cream kicks the living shit out of every other brand of soy cream that has ever been made since it actually tastes like real ice cream. I’ve decided I’m going to find a way to get Temptations ice cream delivered to me and learn how to make vegan German chocolate cake so I can be obese and happy. Today Heather and I met up with Mackie and went to the Lincoln Park zoo. It was freezing fucking cold so half the animals were MIA, but we still got to see the ones that had indoor habitats. Then we went to this place called Sultan’s Market and ate the most amazing falafel sandwich I have ever encountered. It was huge and absolutely delicious and was only $4. I really need to find a good place to get falafel in Boston because it’s one of my favorite foods and I only get to eat it when my mom decides every once in a while to take the time to make some. It was good to get to see Mackie once more before we left since I probably won’t see him until this summer where I’ll probably run into him at a show or at Andrew/Deanna’s place if we ever end up in Boston at the same time. Then Heather and I went to go see the Sears Tower, and we saw it from the outside but then found out it costs 13 fucking dollars to take a god damn elevator to the top and decided it was not worth the money. I’m leaving Chicago tomorrow and I’m totally ready to be back in Boston. This place is really awesome but it’s fucking freezing, I miss my friends and roommates and I can barely last another night at Danielle’s sitting in the awkward silence and blue light of the television they leave on but never seem to use. I really never thought I’d be so excited to go sleep in my mildly uncomfortable bed in the dorm. I talked to my mom today and she told me that my dad said sometimes JetBlue will let you hop on an earlier flight if there are open seats for free. I’m hoping we can hop an afternoon flight so maybe I can try to make it to the Roadrage/the nasty show tomorrow night.
I cannot wait to be back in my dorm and have Internet access all the time. Staying in a house for a week that doesn’t have the Internet has made me realize how much I hate life without the Internet and how sadly addicted I am to being constantly connected to information and millions of people. I love myspace and facebook and can’t live without it and am not ashamed to admit it.
Peace out Chi-Town, it’s been real.
