Procrastinating Begins Early
Two posts in 10 days, not impressive. I'm doing my best though, and tonight am trying to finish up homework while nursing a warm Genny Light (it's an acquired taste only western new yorkers can appreciate). Definitely an interesting week, with our Sox winning the dirty "Daley Way" last night. Now everyone's going to complain, every win we have mired with controversey, I only hope the boys can hold on. Ozzie please please please bring us to the big show.
Have become enamored of Jack Spicer, a poet and Alex Kotlowitz, who's "Never a City so Real" is, at times, a love letter to my city, Chicago, one I believe is truly deserved.
Went down to the Lithuanian Museum on 6500 S. Pulaski to write piece on Tuesday. They had to turn the lights for me; they locked the gift shop when I walked into the museum-ish area. To be completely honest, I had no idea where Lithuania even was. I mean, the general area, Eastern Europe, I knew that. The history is fascinating while tragic, and Ron, who volunteers in the library was too sweet and offered me magazines and brochures to take home, to spread the good word of the country his parents left before he was born.
This weekend should be fairly interesting; got an invite to a baptist church on the south side, olivette, by the drummer in the church band, he says the keyboardist used to play with Miles Davis. My Buffalo Bills take on the Jets on Sunday, Tuesday is the Decemberists concert, Thursday starts tutoring at 826's Boring Store and then there's only 29 days until I leave for Ireland. Woo hoo.
