hey wake up! so heres all the big news in chicago. my bike was stolen last week. Michael's bike really. i meant to email him to tell him it was gone, but i'll get to that sometime. mara and kristin if you run into him let him know. i broke my key off in the lock one night after work last week and couldn't get it off the fence it was attached to. it was already 6 o' clock and i had to be on my way home, so i figured i would get a hacksaw from the warehouse handy man the next morning and saw the lock off. unfortunately by the next morning the entire thing was gone. it's cool though, jenny took me to a bike co-op and i got a new, sweeter, ride. the new cruiser is a silver schwinn that goes really fast and stops on a dime. all for 65 bucks. not bad.

my hairdresser irene's apartment was broken into last weekend and they stole ALL her stuff, including some hairwax that she had bought for me. i can't help but feel partly responsible since i never went to go pick up the wax. if she hadn't had such a stockpile of yummy hair goops in her place, maybe it wouldn't have been such an attractive place to rob.

work has had an amazing amount of screwups this week and last. this place is falling apart. i'm confident that at SOME POINT we'll get our shit together and start doing stuff right again though....

who wants to ditch the nuthouse madison for halloween and come down to chicago? i may be back up there for a night in october to go see the 446 - theres a lot of people from chicago going so it would be easy to catch a ride.

okay now someone else's turn!
