Chicago, day -2
May 31st, 2008
I’m going to Chicago on Sunday, and I’ll be gone for the entire week. Luckily, I’ll have my trusty laptop, with its non-working left mouse buttons (both of them) and a duct-taped wireless card. Can’t get more cheap than that :3
Today is day -2, tomorrow is day -1, Sunday is day 0. Sunday is day 0 because we won’t actually be in Chicago until Monday. It’s going to take a while to drive up there. I’m not exactly sure what we’re going to do when we get there; I tend not to pay attention that well to those kinds of things.
For the trip, we acquired another Robert Rankin[rankin] audiobook from our local audiobook purveyor (the library). It’s 13 hours long. We’ll be doing good not only to listen to the entire thing, but also to comprehend it. We’ve listened to two other titles by Robert Rankin on long road trips, and both were pretty demented, but still hilarious. His voice is great for the book style (British), and so he plays a good role at reading his own books.
I’ve always enjoyed audiobooks that are read by their authors. Heck — the authors know how it should feel; they wrote it.
I’ll have my git repo of my website code, so I’ll most likely be working on getting those templates happy.
And yes, Fedora, I’ve put my name on the vacation list.
