Thoughts from CHI(lly) TOWN

Some noteable things about Chicago:

-It's COLD here in the mornings (have I mentioned that???)
-They have street signs on the interstate showing the way to neighboring states. We dont have that in the mass of land that is Texas. And I'll tell you why; there's no need because you can travel for 700 miles and still be in Texas. Blah.
-Their taxi drivers think you should double the speed limit and talk on cell phones, all the while ignoring EVERY law of the road. It's frightening really. And seemingly death-defying. I'm scared.
-It is the stereotypical big city: complete with a constant jack hammering sound from the building construction, people ALWAYS honking, rows and rows of tall buildings, underground roads, a huge homeless population, upscale shopping, scary ass cab rides, traffic traffic traffic, Starbucks EVERYWHERE.
It's just like being in a freakin' cold version of Houston. But in a good way :)

And also, after several days of forkin' out cash for cab fare, I call bullshit on Carrie from SATC taking cabs everywhere she went. No way. You never see that girl on the Subway...what's up with that?
