I got a head with wings, I got a head with wings. I can see so far away, I can see so clear. You would not believe the view up here. I got a head with wings. Now I'm floatin aruond up here way above the clouds, so high above the ground. And the only thing that holds my head to the ground, is this one little skinny string. I got a head with wings. I can see so far away, yes so far away. I can see the shadows fall across your face. I got a head with wings.

And just like that, I'm back in Champaign again.

Actually it wasn't quite that easy. The drive down was arduous as my windshield washer fluid was frozen and all along I-294 they don't plow very well, they just use lots and lots of salt. So most of the drive I just wouldn't use my wipers at all, and when the build up of shit from people cutting me off was too much, I would drive along side a semi so the water splashed up on my window and then I'd use my wipers real quick to get the mud off and then turn them off before the salt in the water started smearing across the window, and accelerate past the truck. Tada, clean window.

Sometimes I even impress myself.

Anyhow, break was fun but it was time it needed to end. Once just about everyone else goes back to school and I'm just kinda chillin' there with maybe a couple people, the break has pretty much run it's course. I'll be looking forward to diving into classes here on Wednesday as I really need something to get myself back on a human schedule again.

My parents started their little road trip to Tampa where they will spend a month or so. So naturally I had to set up my mom's old laptop to provide the essentials of internet usage on the road, and a recepticle for photos from my mom's camera. And, of course, complete instruction on how to use it for both of them. That pushing right up against the time I was leaving made things pretty hectic as it all boiled down to the zero hour, but I think it all worked out okay. And now it's done so I just have to sit back and wait for the phone call about how they are in Florida now and nothing works and it's all my fault.

So this weekend we are celebrating Joel's 21st birthday here in Champaign. His brother and a friend are coming to join Hans and I. We'll likely hang out and play cards at Murphy's and maybe run into Amy and her friends as today is her birthday and she plans on being at Murphy's as well. Anyhow, now that I'm unpacked and I have this written I think I'm going to relax for a while before people start showing up...

ah... relaxing...
