Stupid time, pass already!

Bored. I will be going to Chicago to see Jared on Thursday, and so it's all I can think about, and I just want the time to PASS already so I can finally be there with him. But the clock seems to be moving like molasses until then. In the meantime, since Bernie has gone home to Maryland for a week, I have neither my primary workout buddy nor my lunch buddy, so the day passes even more slowly.

It's not that I don't have things I should be doing. I should be writing the last article for the July newsletter for my internship, but being unable to think about anything but going to Chicago makes it tough to focus on that boring task. I want to work on Men of Respect, because there's actually something I want to write out, but I feel like I can't do anything for that until I get my internship work done. Aaaaand I'm not getting my internship work done, so I'm not getting ANYTHING done... grrr. Gotta buckle down.

There are also some trip-related things I need to attend to. I need to pick up my prescription before I go, and I want to find a little something to take to Jared's parents as a thank-you for having me. It's an Italian thing-- I joke that because we're such terrible guests, we have to bring stuff with us in exchange for our hosts putting up with us.

We might be seeing Wall-E tonight. I've got reservations about it, but I've heard surprisingly good reviews. We'll see. I feel obligated to see Pixar movies anyway. I'm more excited to see the second Hellboy, or of course the Dark Knight. It occurs to me that I would kiss somebody if the Joker said "I wish I knew how to quit you, Batman." Come on. It would be so perfect, and it's totally something the Joker would say.

This is a very disjointed entry. But my brain is plainly elsewhere.
