the concert was wonderful. i had never been to the skyline stage at navy pier before, and it really is a wonderful venue. it seats a good number of people, and yet it still comes off as feeling intimate. chris even enjoyed himself as well, despite seeing a billboard on the way into the city that proclaimed, "everybody hates chris." what a horrible way for him to find this out.

we had drinks afterwards at one of the restaurants on the pier, then drove marcia and mark back to their car. once at home, chris went to bed and i stayed up watching an absolutely awesome movie that i had never heard of before. "rick" is currently one of the free movies comcast ondemand is offering, and it was dark, funny, well-written, and riddled with the kind of subtle ironies that require a second viewing, just to make sure you didn't miss something when you blinked. i recommend it to all.

today is the kind of lazy, sleepy day off that i haven't had in months and months, and i'm loving every mother freaking minute of it. i think i'll have a spoonful of cream cheese and then take a nap.
