Swings

...are awesome. I wish the playground across the street from my apartment had big kid swings, and not just tiny toddler swings. Of course, that has not stopped me from hanging out in the big red plastic one for the past 2 days. It's the only one that I can actually fit into, without tiny leg holes. Except it's not much of a swinging experience since it only sits like a foot off the ground. But still.

It's getting warmer outside more often. Makes me miss this time last year, where I was beginning my daily poolside routine. One day I even took my laptop out there and picked up a wireless connection. Pretty much the highlight of my life.

What happens when you really, really like a certain place but you really belong with the people in a difference place? Which one do you pick? (I don't actually know which people I belong with, but I'm pretty sure they are not the ones in the place that I would choose.)

Once again, the Discovery Channel is a depressing trap. I never doubted that there were aliens, but Stephen Hawking thinks they might already be colonizing the universe?? By harvesting the energy of an entire star with millions of mirrors?? Fantastic. I really need to find a more uplifting Sunday night activity.

I'm going to Chicago next weekend. So soon! Time flies when it's sunny outside.
