La la la

I think I am probably going to spend more time in Crerar and the Reg this summer than I ever did while I was still in school. Figures, eh? Still no internet in my apartment, nor the apartments of anyone else I know. So, here I am, bored and in the library trying to come up with decent cover letters. Especially for this one technology job that requires an entertaining cover letter... hopefully I'll be able to take care of that, because it'd be fun to work for a random gadget selling company.

One thing I forgot to mention yesterday was what I found in the shared backyard of my apartment complex the day I moved in...


chicken?

And, ironically, this is the first chicken I've met in person that hasn't been behind bars. We're debating whether it's for eating, or egg-laying, or just a pet. It's pretty big, so I'm guessing, unless it's for a very special occasion, it's not for eating, since they would've eaten it by now. If it was a for-eating chicken, I'd be sad, because I'll probably get attached to it, despite its toe-eating.

In other news, my apartment finally has hot water. It hasn't had hot water since I moved in Friday night, so I will finally be able to take a hot shower tonight. I can't wait. Apparently the water heater was so old it was unrepairable... that's nice to know. But, hey, it's Chicago. Most of the apartments are old.

And now... back to my job search. Here's hoping something turns up soon.

Ok, I admit that I stumbled upon your journal because I was searching for people interested in "writing." I've been missing having other writer-friends in my life, so I thought I'd make some connections with some scribbling folks. Hello, I'm Lou. I was just wondering if it's ok for me to add you. I promise to try to be interesting.

GOOD LUCK! Also, that is the angriest looking chicken I have ever seen. Lock your doors and windows.

AUGH. If I have nightmares, I will cheerfully blame you. (It's a great picture, though.)
