Things I did on my recent vacation:
Went to an East Indian wedding
Saw the Star Wars Christmas Special
Took (and did not win) the ghost-pepper chicken wings challenge at Bulldog's in Wauconda IL
Saw Gainsboroughs, Bouchers, Cranachs, Bouguereaus, Goyas and El Grecos at the Art Institute of Chicago
Saw mummies at the Field Museum
Bought a fine leatherbound edition of Vesalius
Saw "Vesalius Live" in the form of the Body Worlds exhibit
Went to a Goth/Steampunk store and spent the most I've ever spent on a shirt
Found the grave of Allan Pinkerton
Watched a bunch of silent movies
Read (or at least skimmed over) the full 5 volume set of Harry M. Hyatt's Rootwork books
Ate banana enchiladas (which were tasty enough but ultimately seemed to make me throw up)
Ate sushi on two different occasions
Bought a bunch of cheap artwork at flea markets (and wonder if I should try to resell them at the Santa Fe prices)
Ate the 3,000 year old cuisine of Armenia in a strip mall
Drank absinthe with the whole spoon dealy

tireoghain:
Were you as disappointed with the Christmas Special and Absinth as I was?
aristophanes:
Absthine was a disappointment; the Christmas Special I enjoyed, but then I kind of knew what to expect of it.
