When she was my age, she was dragging me around Chicagoland giving me cultural experiences on weekends. I occasionally do a reflection on how much cultured shit I did as a younger person and am deeply impressed with all the art and cultural experiences I had. For real, I went to so many theater productions and museums and exhibits!
Hell, we were members at pretty much every major museum in Chicago (bar MoCA) and I have seen so much art. Especially for someone who kinda hates art.
It's to the point where I've mostly run out of cultural experiences around Chicago? Like, yes, new events and exhibits exist, but if you hand me a list of "things to do in Chicagoland!!!", there are like, maybe five I've not done at least once?
And when I was a kid, I legitimately hated getting dragged around as much as I did. I wanted to stay home and watch tv/read a book. And I am 100% glad mom took me to all those events and educational things because I can now, as a grown adult, stay home and watch tv/read a book with the full smugness of someone who's Done That Shit At Least Once.
Though, I really do want to try the Lao restaurant that opened down the street from me. I have not actually tried Laotian food, so my goals for the summer are as follows:
1. Eat at the Lao place.
2. Jim Shoe sandwich.
3. Akutagawa at the Fullerton Restaurant.
4. Bone-in Porkchop sandwich at Jim's Original up on Western.
5. Beach.
6. MoCA? Maybe?
