Today, at the Un-conference and final day of Blogher07, we talked about writing good headlines to attract more readers.

I think this will attract the hell out of you.

At around 2.30m today, 15 minutes before my scheduled Chicago Historic Architecture tour, I looked into my safety pack hanging around my neck and realised my ATM/debit card was missing.

The last time I’d withdrawn money was two nights ago at my hostel.

To the person who picked up my card and tried to use it, your toenails will now grow inwards for the rest of your life. Enjoy.

Needless to say, I panicked. The tour lady must think me extremely rude to be talking into my cell trying to deactivate my card while she tried to talk into my other ear (they have these remote mike/earphone thingies they use on their walking tour so they don’t need to yell over the traffic and other Chicago street noises). It was a very stressful experience no doubt.

I’ve checked my account. No million-dollar withdrawals, so we’re good. But it did ruin my two-hour tour, which I’d spent worrying about whether someone was robbing us blind.

Does it only happen to me, or have you guys ever experienced bad stuff happening on the very last day of your holiday?

Anyway, I have loads of new pictures taken during the tour. It was very informative. I wished I’d paid more attention though.

About Blogher07, I’m just going to leave the recap for when I get home since Live Writer is still not posting properly for me (so if you get multiple posts from me on your reader, I apologise). As for the rest of my stay here in Chicago, I’m just going to grab some dinner now and spend the evening lying down quietly next to my bags because clearly, I cannot be trusted.

I feel blue.
