In less self-involved news, Becky and Rachel and other lovely if little-known people where here this week and it was fabulous. I love having Marlboro-ites in my city, it helps me remember that Marlboro is just as real as Chicago is. That might not make sense but it is an important thing for me to hold on to.

Only 12 days until I leave and only 6 work shifts left. I don't exactly know what's going to happen next but I trust it will be better than this lame ass excuse for a summer.
