Just a couple of random and sundry as I ride home on Ye Olde Oxforde Tub:
Random the First: Is anyone in the Chicago area able to give me a ride from O'Hare to the Event Horizon on Monday (Dec 22)? I will be landing at about 1:30pm. I can always take a taxi if necessary, but I would not at all object to saving fifty dollars! I can sweeten the deal with offers[*] of dinner, foreign gifts, undying gratitude, sexual favours, whatever...
Random the Second: Being largely cut off[**] from most of mass marketed media, I only recently learned that a film adaption of Will Eisner's The Spirit is soon to hit the cinemas! Whilst I have never actually read any of the Spirit comic books, it has been on my [rather considerable] reading list for some time. After all, Eisner was one of the greats! It does not hurt one bit that Frank Miller has written the script, either! I was poking about online earlier to learn a little more about the upcoming film. It sounds like it has potential! I also was looking over the visuals on the promo posters -- one in particular managed to grab my attention...
Random the Third: I really need the powers of Jamie Madrox, especially for New Years Eve! I think I have about six different options on the table right now. Even restricting myself to the Chicago area still leaves three possibilities! Want to do all of them! Need more Nomad![***]
[*] I will be leaving the Event Horizon almost immediately to drive to New Jersey. However, I will be back from Dec 31 to Jan 05 and can make good on those offers then.
[**] Quite happily and voluntarily.
[***] Yeah, I know -- I have friends, pity poor Nomad! I am certain that somebody on my f-list is cueing up the world's smallest violin...

i would like to put in my request for Nomad time on the 4th, as I will be in Iowa from the 31st through the 3rd. It's possible that i will come back early on the 3rd and will be available for dinner, or evening festivities.
(This is also all contingent on the weather.)

And speaking of random...
Ironically, my sister and I will probably be driving right by O'Hare on the 22nd, depending on when the imminent snowpocolypse allows us to leave Michigan. If I was driving myself (and therefore more prone to random) I would assay to be your taxi service (and also receive certain items!), but I'm not. Regrettably, my sister isn't one for side trips.

With you coming into O'Hare on the 22nd, I am confused about cat care schedule. Do you still need me to come in on the 23rd, if you are going to be there on the 22nd? Or should I come in on the 24th or 25th?

Wow, 6 options for NYE? Popular much?
Too bad I don't live anywhere NEAR Chi-town since you're offering sexual favors. I have to remember that's a viable offer next time I need picking up at an airport. lol
Safe trip over the pond.

*I am "suffering" from the same problem (I've at least now narrowed it down to one city). So if nothing else we're being serenaded together...**
