Sorry about making up words in the title, that’s annoying, I should quit that.  So I started walking towards the hipster-downtown part of Springfield in search of food.  For some reason I walked into an Irish bar instead.  And for some reason the Irish bartender was Korean, which was weird…but she was hot.  I drank frosty cold beers for dinner and made idlechit-chat with the 24 year old girl.  She was impressed that I knew she was Korean (she brought it up btw and by impressed I mean that she wanted me to tip her) and knew nothing about anything that I did with my life.  I finally ran out of money and had to go to the atm.  Then I found myself at a little Italian deli, wondering why everything had to be so damned ethnic.  For some reason the Italian deli was playing the best of Journey - this did not make the nasty burger go down any easier.  I finished up and started walking back to the hotel, except somehow I had gotten considerably farther north than I had been before…still confident that I could figure it out, I walked.  And walked.  And turned.  And then walked some more.  I finally admit to myself that I am lost so I pull out the navigation device on my phone and tell it to take me back to the hotel.  It got really pissed at me that I couldn’t go much faster than 3 mph and gave me wrong directions out of spite. So I finally just walked into a Subway sandwich place ordered something I didn’t want and called a cab.  While I was telling the cab place where I wanted to go the “samwich artist” snickered.  Then she asked me if I knew where I was.  Then she asked where I was from, apparently to tell her friends where really moronic people who call a cab to go 8 blocks originate.  I told her I was from Cleveland.  I finally got back to the hotel, watched the Bunny Ranch thing on HBO (what a bunch of weirdos) and fell asleep.  I woke up this morning with this weird fat lip phoenomenon, but otherwise ready to go sit in a uncomfortable chair and listen to some guy talk about actuarially required contributions.
