stormdogWhat Stormdog did is going to do on his winter vacation:
I'm going to see an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Photography called One Wall Away; Chicago's Hidden Places. I heard about it on NPR and it's exactly my thing!
-Oops; I guess that's going to be either the 20th or the 21st; they're closed for a while after that! I suppose it could be the preceeding Saturday or Sunday too. I want to bring my camera with and take some train and city pictures. I'm going to poke around to see what else there is to see and do in the area while I'm down there too.
I'm going to leave Kenosha really early in the morning, hopefully at a time when there's snow on the ground, to get to Gary, Indiana by dawn so I can get pictures of the abandoned church in that beautiful golden sun-barely-over-the-horizon light but with an austere winter atmosphere.
I'm thinking about leaving similarly early to get to Bong Recreational Area by dawn to take pictures there. I'm not sure on that one because I don't know the park well enough to position myself in a good place in the dark. Hmm. Same goes for Petrifying Springs; I'm not really there very much, unfortunately.
If anyone would like to do any of those things with me, company would be lovely! They are all free. I have every day from the 20th of December through the end of the year off, except for the 26th. I'd generally prefer doing these things on weekdays, but let me know when would work for you.
I'm going to do more work on the library. I just bought a nice, all cedar plank bookshelf from Goodwill for $15 that's just waiting to be filled.
I'm going to clean the computer room, living room, and bedroom.
I'm going to patch a few holes in the plaster walls, and a few cracks and holes in some old wooden door frames with all the stuff I bought at Lowe's a few weeks ago and haven't made it 'round to using yet. I'm also going to finish putting plastic over the windows if I haven't done it by then.
I'm sure there's more stuff that I'll think of shortly.
I can has vacation now? *Tries to look like an loldog*
I dropped off some computers at my dad's school that are going to some of his students who can't afford them. I have another monitor to give him, but I haven't been able to get a hold of him tonight.
Tomorrow, Andrea and I are going out to see Enchanted. It sounds very smooshy and romantic. I'm looking forward to it.
On Saturday, we may be going to meet up with people for Golden Compass. I'm not quite sure what's going on there yet. Hopefully that will finalize itself tomorrow.
And I guess that's it for now.
