Guess where I am this week?
Chicago!
I spent the weekend in the city with my mom, grandma and aunt, where we ate delicious food and saw Wicked on Saturday afternoon. Wicked was awesome–and I did not even fall asleep. Usually when I see a musical I get drowsy and my head bobs at least once. I loved the book and wasn’t sure how it would translate into a musical, but I was really impressed. I even got teary a couple of times. Poor, green, misunderstood and framed Elphaba.
Now I’m about 40 miles outside of Chicago, where I’m in Project Management training until Friday. I can’t say exactly where I am, but let’s just say that there are a lot of trees, and grass, and maybe even a farm or two. Very secluded. Behind gates. When my mom and brother dropped me off on Sunday evening, my brother was expecting white-clad men to meet me at the car and push me inside in a wheelchair. It’s corporate training, damnit! I swear! Although I realized tonight that my room looks like the hospital room from this creepy movie I used to watch as a child called Anna to the Infinite Power. It was about a girl who discovers she’s a clone, and is sent to a “facility” for testing. Maybe they’re watching me…

Hey, at least everyone gets private bathrooms now… I remember having to share the hall one during Analyst training. *shudder*
Enjoy your stay at the “facility”!

Secondly, I have been TRYING LIKE HELL to remember the name of that scary movie from my childhood. Thank you thank you thank you for reminding me of that title! I guess it helps that both you and I are into the creepy sci-fi/fantasy stuff. I should totally send you some of those paperbacks I used to read in high school.
I think it’s funny that you can’t say where you are :o).
Also, the foie gras was awesome. Didn’t realize how “rich” it would be, however. My stomach didn’t take to it all too well, but it was great tasting. I can’t believe I ate that much duck. Amy was impressed too. Pictures forthcoming.
