Errands and Naps
Woke up today and went out to Trader Joe’s for the first time. I’ve had friends rave about this place, and now I totally see why. Easy to access and just a ton of great stuff (particularly a lot of the frozen foods). I’ve spent today lounging around the apartment. I’ve cleaned up a good…
Backyard, Happy Village
Today was Gretchen’s last day at her job. She’s been meaning to leave her position for a while, and finally took the plunge. A bunch of us met up at Happy Village to celebrate her last day. I was here a long while ago, back in January for Michael’s birthday party. But good lord, I…
Road Trip, Krazy Kaplan’s
In preparation for this weekend’s cookout, I decided to head across the border into Indiana for some fireworks. I’m not sure what the laws are here in Illinois, but I haven’t seen many places to buy fireworks. I’ve seen the plastic packages in grocery stores. I’m not talking about those – I’m talking real fireworks…

The Nerdiness Goes One Step Farther
More than a week ago, when I was at the Pontiac with Chris and Will… Will and I discovered we were both interested in chess. More than that, we discovered that we both knew about the Wicker Park Chess Club, which meets on Wednesdays at Myopic Books. The two of us made plans to attend…
Post-Work Pontiac
Hung out with Justin at the Pontiac, after work today. Both of us had a rather productive day, and we ended up chatting through a few drinks, watching the sun dip down below the skyline. There’s a party in the works for this weekend, if our plans hold up. Should be a fun one. :)…
*yawn*
Got up this morning around 5:30 AM, and took a 7:10 AM flight back to Chicago. What is it about sitting still for four hours that makes you tired? Not sure I understand that. I’ve had a blast the past few days, and as soon as I get settled again here, I’ll post some pics….
Hello Canada!
Travelling with Stu, up to Vancouver. Not sure exactly what we’re doing, but that’s a big part of the fun. Expect a ton of pics when I get back to Chicago.

Greetings from Vancouver!
I’m currently sitting in an Internet Cafe, on Seymour Street. The buses are attached to cables in the street, and I have yet to come up with a good explanation as to why the green lights occasionally blink around here. It’s 4:47 PM, and Stu and I have been in a car since about 8:30…

Hello Portland!
I’m in Portland currently, hanging out with Stu and Juliet. Doubtful I’ll be touching the blog while I’m away, but I promise you there will be a ton of stuff once I get back. Count on it.
Portland, Ho!
Did a ton of errands today, after work. Got some new shoes. Checked in on Nebula, as this was my last day catsitting. Handed off the keys to Howard. Met up with Chelsea, and handed her my keys so that she could cat-sit (it’s been a cat-filled week here). Hung out for a bit with…
