soggy
I'm supposed to run in the Ch@se C0rporate Ch@llenge tonight. Unfortunately it's supposed to rain all fucking day and night long. Fortunately, the only people running are a few associates and some secretaries (partners must only like events where it's guaranteed that they will be able to chat up clients without breathing heavily).
It's hot, it's humid, this weekend is supposed to be even hotter. But I'll be in Vegas where although it will be even MORE hotter than Chicago, at least it's a "dry" heat, whatever that means.
We didn't have air conditioning growing up and think what you want about michigan being in the great white north but Detroit gets fucking hot and humid during the summer. I remember being like 11 years old (which coincided with the great drought of 1989, so not only was it 100 degrees, we had to suffer through never ending news reports about how we didn't have it as bad as the farmers who were losing all their crops) and laying in my second floor (heat rises) bedroom in August, sweat forming a halo on my pillow, thinking that I would not live til morning, that my brain would be cooked crock pot style in my skull by then. that was a wet heat, i guess.

under my car seat
under my car seats i found:
1. a bottle of aquafina, half empty
2. some change
3. directions to the schaumburg ikea printed off of mapquest
4. a packet of windex wipes for the car (particularly for the rearview mirror--i don't like when it gets all fingerprinty)
5. a maroon short sleeved blazer with shoulder pads.
re no. 5 above: you're getting it back. you know who you are. just wait.

liquor. tacos. yuppies.
I've decided that the best thing about our place is that we have a huge liquor store a block away. take your normal chicago store front liquor store or new york bodega and multiply it by four, and that's what we have. plus it has a lot of polish beers because polish people own it, and you know c. loves her EB and Zwiec...
a block away in the other direction is a mexica fast food type restaurant open until 4 am. hot damn.
