a dead bird

i went to chicago on friday. i have to say it was a pretty good time.

so there's a reflective sculpture thingy in millenium park. i can't remember what the real name for it is, but apparently people call it the bean. anyways, we were walking around it, and we noticed these girls screaming. a bird had run into it, and was dead on the ground. i found the whole thing pretty hilarious. i think that might make me a morbid person, but whatever. we went to the art museum after that, and i think that was the fastest i've ever gone through a museum. i'm a really big fan of art museums, so there was a bunch of stuff i wanted to see. we only had twenty minutes after the tour to look at whatever we wanted, so i had to quickly weave my way through the museum to find the paintings. the painting to the right is actually enormous. we have a coffee mug with this painting, so i've always wanted to see the real thing. i also saw some jackson pollock stuff, which was pretty exciting for me. there were a few other paintings i didn't have time to see, so i'd kind of like to go back some day. after the musem we went to this spanish restaurant, which was all right. i was too afraid to eat the octopus. the suction cups were still on the tentacles! we left after the restaurant. the bus ride home was a lot longer than the bus ride to chicago, and i eventually had nothing to do. this caused me to play pokemon for way too long. i guess i still don't understand the appeal of that game. and what kind of name is wigglytank?
