If I still lived in Chicago I would only use public transportation, but it is not easily accessible or reliable in the city I live in.

That stinks, but it isn't your fault. Break the bad news with a lot of positive suggestions.

Yeah, I'm lucky for living in one of the best cities of the world transport-wise.

And of course I couldn't get back to sleep (although I tried) and most of the day so far has been meeting after meeting. Not complaining, but it is going to be a loooooooon Monday.
My guess is that's because that's what was cool/popular when you were 12.

Or maybe because I dress like I'm 12 during the weekends. When I took my wife to see WRECK IT RALPH I realized I was wearing a green hoodie, with the zipper just low enough to reveal a Spider-Man t-shirt, a Brewers hat (logo circa 1989), jeans, and a crisp pair of black and white hi-top adidas sneaks (aka my regular lounge around wear).

I asked my wife if she was embarrassed at my thrown together outfit and her response was "If we run into anyone I work with I'll say I'm taking my retarded cousin to see Wreck it Ralph".

She's a keeper.

Yep. I remember when a group of us had to make a video for our English class. We had the perfect location for one of the scenes all set up and filmed it. But once I played it back later, I realized the microphone on my video camera was way to sensitive and made the one car driving by sound line a semi-truck :? Needless to say, we had to scout out a better location and re-shoot. No one was happy.

But, hey, at least she's got you to do the editing. All we had at our disposal was a VCR :lol:

:D Had a pretty good day, looks like the teachers are going to go pretty easy on us for finals. Other than English and Physics that is.

:( I thought dreaming meant you were sleeping well? Apparently not, as I've had dreams for the last week straight and I wake up tired as hell each time. Its killing me...

That's why we have DVRs. Time to get one (or build your own) if you don't have it.
Nearly sixteen years ago, I spent one Christmas season working at Toys R Us. To this day, I still recoil when I hear Wham's "Last Christmas" and Carney & Wendy Wilson's "Hey Santa"...<shudder>
I do like the Hey Santa song. Bought it on ITunes over the weekend. I find myself listening to Holly (XM radio holiday music channel) this time of the year instead of my usual alternative rock channel.
