Man... Chicago. It seemed so foreign when I first went there, but now I find myself attached in various ways. The city, the people, the atmosphere. And not just to the friends there. I find myself saying "pop" and "bubble tea" and missing Joy Yee's and the neighborhood and the accent that I can never quite catch. Today I was in Stanford at a jazz thing and ... it was weird, man. College vibes, but not *my* college, y'know? Not as sunny as here, but a more vibrant color and geekier people. I wonder, when people ask me where I'm from, should I say Chicago or Palo Alto? I guess it's currently about even.

But yeah, the jazz thing was quite cool. Only thing was that I've decided I can't sit in auditoriums to listen to music. I need to be doing something, like sitting back and sipping something. :D

I also got a backpack today. (Cat, Alexis, stop the snickering. It was a functional bag that had laptop section included! for $20!) I also visited old lady today, which was fun, if short. Also translated the next bit of the Wig Saga for Kelly. (Which, incidentally, involves another nasty person and another threaten of lawsuit, but not at all related to me). All in all a good day.

Man, wish I can dance like the people on tv. Or at least not feel like a fool. :D
