Snowy update.

Cost of parking at Midway airport: $58.50
Cost of getting my car towed and ticketed if they declare a snow emergency in Evanston when I'm out of town: $100

Cost of being frustrated because neither of these are good options because I am poor poor poor: priceless.



In other news, my boyfriend is TEH AWESOME. He bought me eggplant and daikon radish papyrus from Hiromi Paper...AND he got me the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Pop-up book that I'd been drooling over! I posted about the pop-up book over on the Kilgarlin blog.

Economic recession be damned - let's go get retail therapy!

I couldn't stand the guilt and just pledged $10 to WBEZ, Chicago Public Radio. They had Ira Glass calling people's houses and asking them why they hadn't pledged! Such a thing terrifies me...so I gave them my support to avoid making Ira Glass sad.

Then I went and bought myself another pop-up book, called ABC3D. It was only $12! And it was featured on BoingBoing! Here's a video..it's fantastic! I am so not addicted to pop-up books, honestly, I swear! I can quit whenever I want...!
