today i'm hearing: jens lekman -- your beat kicks back like death
today i'm thinking: there is way too much going on

It's been a super-long week. I've gotten the day wrong so many times, I'm not even going to try and guess what day it is.
I'm going to Chicago tomorrow! Yay! I'm nervous. My train leaves Friday afternoon, and I've somehow managed to guilt Randy into taking me to the train station. I'm pretty pleased with my powers of persuasion. Hopefully I'll be able to get from Union Station to Fullerton without tragedy ensuing. This is the true test of my city savviness (or lack thereof). Friday night will be spent hanging with Paige until we both pass out. Then I have auditions on Saturday morning. I've almost got my monologues memorised. I'm so very, very close. Again: let's hope tragedy doesn't ensue. After that, the day is ours to do with as we please. I'm expecting some serious Chicago adventures. Or we'll just find a cafe and sit around and talk all day. That's cool too. Then I come back to Carbondale Sunday morning, hopefully with time to spare for Journeys and The Wire. It's bound to be exciting and kind of exhausting.
Between now and leaving on Friday, however, I have a shit load of things to do. I've got to pack, for one, and make sure that I have enough crap on my computer that I can spend my twelve hours of train trip writing my English paper and doing any stage management/dramaturgy crap that I can get done. I was hoping to get some stuff mailed out, but I have a feeling I'm not going to make it to the post office this week. That will just have to wait until early next week, I guess. I'd also like to get some goodies together for Paige. Presents are awesome. Finally, I've got to clean up my monologues fully and pick audition clothes. Hopefully Chelsea will help me with that, but we'll see.
My other challenge for today is figuring out how to work the VCR so that I can actually watch Lost!. Bastard television, you shall not defeat me!! I hope.
Have I mentioned how super-stoked I am to see Paiga? 'Cause I'm super-fucking-stoked. I will more than likely pee.

I know you will have a great time with Paige. Travel light, less to worry about. At the audition just be yourself; you are pretty much perfect even if you worry about things sometimes. Let loose the hold of the ego and just be in that moment as authentically as you can. Give Paige big hugs from her Urbana people. We love you both.
