So I was thinking about winter, and yes, technically humans can survive just fine in extremely cold temperatures. On the other hand, you can technically eat bull testicles, but that doesn't mean I'm in any hurry to do that, either. What I'm trying to say is: do you think I can get a doctor's note that says I can spend the rest of the winter on my couch underneath a warm blanket?
Anyway, I realized that I did have something worthwhile to tell you all (hence the title): I'm going to be leaving tomorrow morning to visit my friend Kellie in Philadelphia. You may currently find yourself wondering, "Why in hell would you plan a trip to the Northeast in the middle of winter?" Well, I would like to answer your question with another question: where were you when I was booking the flight, you jerk?? Nevertheless, I'm under the impression that one's travels can be very interesting to read about, so if you're lucky I'll think of you and remember to take some pictures or something. Currently on the itinerary are:
1) A trip to New York City to visit with some of Kellie's high school friends and rock out. Ostensibly with alcohol.*
(P.S. I'm also currently accepting submissions on what's the least outsider-y way to refer to said city. "The City?" "New York?" These are the things that keep me up at night. I could also just take the same passive route I take with Lee's parents and just never directly address it.)
2) Visit to an art museum.
3) Dinner with Kellie's mom.
4) Visit to a medical oddities museum!
5) Watching the new episode of House that's airing on Monday night. (I'm awesome.)
Assuming I'm not too worn out when I return, maybe I'll fill you in on these and other adventures. On the other hand, have I mentioned that I still have three more grad school applications to finish by February? Regularly scheduled panicking will return on Tuesday.
*Shit. I just realized my mom is probably going to read this and worry. Don't worry, mom!
