As the summer turns to shorter days and longer sunsets, I begin to miss the nine o'clock sunsets and the allure of summer, the outfits, the possibilities, the heat. But as the start of another school year looms closer, so does the re-emeergence of my school friends. One of my friends from New York came back this week and me and another mutual friend immediately took advantage of his return and whisked off to out favorite haunt, White Palace. A favorite diner of ours that is conveniently open 24 hours. It is always there for us at 2 am when we need a break from painting, or sewing, or weaving, or when we need food and there is nowhere else to go. I have been there so many times that I don't even need to look at the menu, its not like I can just tell the waitress, "I'll just have the usual."(I've always wanted to have a "usual"), but I almost always order the Midnight Train (a belgian waffle fries and chicken strips) and a strawberry shake. It is golden carbo-load deliciousness and I love it.
We took his shiny white cadillac down to White Palace, and I realized I hadn't been in a car since spring break (thats like a bit more than two months). Even then I was only in a car from from the train station to a friends house. I haven't driven myself in almost a year when I got my license. I am not a big fan of driving, I prefer public transport whenever possible, and when you are driving its so much harder to absorb the scenery.
Anyway I'll write more about our cadillac adventures later... once I've recovered from one.

When I graduated from high school, I moved from the security of my Sacramento suburban home, to the great city of Chicago. Chicago has given me some great opportunities, friends and experiences that I interpret here on my blog. It gives others a look into the way I think, and experience life. My blog is a peek at my mindmap, or spidergram if you will.
