It's simply full of books. Books and tapeworms.

Today I read a book OUTSIDE.

In other literary news, my good friend and one Crystal Lake companion who doesn't put, "books, what's books" into his or her favorite book section on facebook, Greg Agnes took on and conquered War and Peace earlier this year. Amazon.com claims the book is 1472 pages and I have officially put it on my summer to-do list. I am living in Naperville this summer and shooting for an apartment with a balcony so my Russian literature and I can enjoy marvelous Naperville summer mornings on plastic furniture.

The apple juice will be flowing.

The New Craze

I just hit a sixty-five yarder during Field Goal Tennis.

A Sport Revolution

Corinne and I invented a new game with our tennis rackets. It's called Field Goal Tennis. The rules are simple: try to hit the tennis ball through the uprights from as far away as possible. It's epic. We played yesterday on our football team's practice field and after 5 hits my elbow needed reconstructive surgery. I hit - in my estimation - a forty-eight yarder, but there weren't any markers on the field so we'll have to move on to the real field for more accurate lengths.

I liked the game so much that I had a dream about it. But in the dream the balls changed to metal objects that we were trying to javelin throw.

Living on a Mountain in a Cabin

I'm on a reading binge and would like some recommendations if possible. It feels good to finish an entire book while still taking 10.5 credits and working. Until my girlfriend and I can play tennis every evening with our Goodwill rackets, I will continue to read - so recommend away.

The Future

Go to maps.google.com.

In the 'search the map' section place this address:

E Wacker Dr & N Michigan Ave, Chicago, Cook, Illinois 60601, United States

When the address loads, click on the picture labeled 'street view'.

How cool is that?

A Box of Wine is in my Possession

Five of us are headed downtown tonight to celebrate our friend Jason Jamnik's 21st birthday. His lady friend attends DePaul and is kind enough to host us at her apartment. I hope she is nice and provides crackers.
