Cooking

Went out this morning, and got a ton of supplies. I’m planning on cooking dumplings for most of the day. I’ll try to update later on, but I just haven’t been in the mood. I’m a good two days behind – sorry about that. But hey, it’s a holiday weekend. You shouldn’t be in front of a computer. I just…

Goodbye Rena

We may have met at one of Justin’s birthday parties a year or so ago, but I first recall talking to Rena at Kent and Christine’s wedding. At the actual ceremony, we both noticed we had the exact same camera, which was pretty neat. I got to hang out with her a bit, when a bunch of us played Grand…

I Don’t Feel Tardy

Sorry for the late updates. Haven’t done much today other than putz around the apartment, but I’m heading out for a bit this evening. Kent and Christine are throwing a farewell party for Rena… and that starts in about an hour. Perhaps a shower is in order. :| I’ve got some images from last night to post, but just haven’t…

Night

Chelsea and I had plans to go to the Adler Planetarium tonight. They were going to have telescopes out on the South Lawn, and invited folks to stop by to see Mars. We hopped a few trains, and had a nice walk through bits of Grant Park to get to the Planetarium. We got a bit turned around a few…

Day

On arriving at the Clark/Lake stop, I stepped onto the street to see this. Nothing spectacular, but for as long as I’ve been getting off at this stop, there’s been construction. It’s a bit odd to see this street without all the planks and scaffolding. If nothing else, it was neat to pause and really look around. Too often, I’ve…

Ants

I was over at my friend MaryAnn’s after work, helping her take some photos for her cello. She’s trying to sell it, and needed a few images to either put up on e-bay, or place into a flyer. We hung out briefly, but I headed home soon after (and she headed to an appointment she had to keep). A bit…

DJ Format: The Hit Song

Saw this on WH. Thanks to Corvis777 for posting the link to ruben.fm. Check out the video highlighted below, DJ Format’s "The Hit Song." "Hittin’ harder than a family of starving, steroid-injected Mexican Quintuplets armed with crowbars smacking the shit out of a candy-filled piÒata… on their birthday."

Moderation

After lunch, I got an invite to go have a few drinks before returning to work. As tempted as I was, I ended up declining. Which sucks, because that would have been a lot of fun. The past few nights (and even tonight), I’ve had an itch for a beer. Not a "Gee, I’d like to get blotto drunk" thought;…

Anthony’s Birthday

Lots of birthdays this month. Today, we celebrated Anthony’s day by heading out to Portillo’s – a big honkin’ group of us, actually. I didn’t take any photos because I felt slightly more self-conscious. Plus, Justin had his camera out and I felt like I would make things feel like some sort of papparazi geek fest. We got into some…

For Some Reason

On my walk to my car, I looked up and decided I wanted a picture of this building. No real reason; I just felt like I wanted to take a picture. As I was walking along, I felt this urge to stick my hand out and feel the stonework. I wanted a photo to capture the moment, as much as…

Deb’s Birthday

To celebrate my boss’ (Deb’s) birthday, Rey took the whole Interactive group out for lunch. We went to Bob Chinn’s which, incidentally, is about a rock’s throw away from the Mart. The name, I must admit, threw me. Everytime I heard "Bob Chinn’s," I thought it was a Chinese restaurant. Inside, the only Asian person I could see was me….
