New Jersey and Death (Not Related)

New Jersey and Death (Not Related)

First, here I am in Chicago and I'm freaked out of my gourd. Have you ever read Devil in the White City? It's about the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. During the Fair, this guy started killing single women who came to Chicago seeking excitement and glitz and glamour. He got so sophisticated as to construct a house of death - hidden passageways, secret doors, and a ventilation system to release noxious gases. He would rent rooms to female boarders / guests. And KILL them.

Well, here I am at this hotel which was built to house guests for the World's Fair. And it's totally creepy. It is dark and slightly run down, the halls are narrow, the celiings are high. There's an opulence to the lobby that totally evokes a different era. And all i can do is think about the house of death from that book.

I tried to go and work out in the hotel gym. I scoped it out decided that eating cookies, reading, and watching movies (not all at the same time) would be better for my health.

Second, the results of a quiz:

You Are 74% New Jersey!

You are definitely Jersey. Well done, my friend. You are most likely from this great state, and you fit right in. Odds are, you love being Jersey!

How New Jersey Are You?



I really wish I scored higher. :) I'm proud to be from NJ. But proud enough to work there? Uncertain.
