In Indianapolis. Will make it to Chicago sometime this afternoon. Ambiguous when I get proper internet again, but then again, the advantage of being an adult is that I can take off and find a wifi enabled coffeeshop if I have to.
Really really really exhausted. Note to self, if ever mum suggests a road trip after two weeks of day camp without at least a day of rest, smack her around a bit.
Went to Young's Jersey Dairy, which is a memory from so far back I didn't even have a livejournal last time I passed through. Got "trash" as my ice cream which was vanilla died a *vivid* purple, with chocolate cups with assorted interesting fillings in it. The raspberry filled ones were my favourite. Also played on tractors and chased cats and admired goats. Was a good stop.
I have been reading in the car, which is one of those sentences that the majority of you probably looked at and went "so?". But let me emphisize my point here --I, for the very first time in my entire life, have been reading in the car. I have been reading, and not feeling queasy and puking. Oh frabjous day, the whole carsick thing that has plagued me my entire life has finally ebbed!
So pretty much as long as I had daylight yesterday, I was tearing through books --a couple of KoDT collections, "Autobiography of a One Year Old" (which I had read before and heartily enjoy) and a collection of Cory Doctorow's short stories called "Overclocked".
The Doctorow I had to put down halfway through --I was enjoying them, and from a relatively uninformed perspective, I seem to largely agree with his open-source ideals. But *man* is he militant about it. Sometimes I just want to read a stupid sci-fi story without any serious message about how OH NO THE WORLD IS GOING TO BE RUINED OH NOOOOOO!
(This may be why I read a lot more fantasy than sci-fi)
At any rate, I am currently reading "Alcatraz and the Evil Librarians", which is totally fun so far, and very silly. AND, might I add, mindless fantasy without any great message to it. Based on the first sixty pages, I recommend it, especially to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
currentlee, who is not a thing like any of the librarians in the book, and who I am now of course totally suspicious of, as all librarians seem to be evil.
And now I think I go drive us most of the way to Chicago (Chitown? Chi-town? Chee-towne?) so I'll catch you lot later. Bai!

MOOP!

Re: Evil is just live spelled backwards...
No, the glitch seems to be the username displaces to the end and is substituted by the viewer's username, at least at viewed on a user's friends page. In the entry, the link's username is kdsorceress.
There I figure this was the target of the first part: http://currentlee.livejournal.com/

Shit-Towne?
(I've only ever been to O'Hare in Chicago, and judging a city by its airport is really unfair. On the other hand, it's a /really/ unpleasant airport.)

Chicago is one of my favorite cities - enjoy!

The kindle has helped immensely with this as I don't ever have to move the book to switch pages, so I just figure out the right way to orient my head and body and just go go go!
