Half pictures, half words. I'm living in Chicago for the semester and want to document what happens. I'm a junior in college, art major, relentless dabbler.

It's been so long, oops!! We've been to a lot of shows for arts sem. We saw Peter Pan at the Looking Glass Theater which was amazing! Then Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind...this is becoming a tradition for me, I think. I'm joining the crazies that go every month, it was so great! The amount you pay to get in depends on what you roll on a die. The show is comprised of 60 plays in 60 minutes. Some are serious, some are funny..it's just fantastic. Also fantastic is my ingenious discovery of how to stand playing cards up without knowing how..(purposefully vague so you won't steal my idea). Anyway that is what I will be doing all afternoon for a stop-motion assignment. Playing cards.

Honest to Blog



Happy November!
I think the best way to get down what has happened this week is to just list list list.

Critical Mass-last Friday of every month. Imagine you're on a nice leisurely ride. Now surround yourself with hundreds of costume clad riders yelling "happy Friday," then put yourself in the middle of downtown Chicago, stopping traffic wherever the ride may go. This is someone riding in a banana suit. And me.

Halloween-Please do not try to wear a lamp. I can tell you that it is no fun and rather dangerous. That is the last time I will try to be the leg lamp from A Christmas Story ever again!

SOFA TONIGHT! compliments my boss's parents' insurance company or something! Words cannot describe. Lets eat some free food and look at cool stuff.

Happy Halloween!

Best costume/vintage shops ever off the belmont red line stop. Where else could you find a 2-piece outfit made of glittery plastic? Nowhere, that's where. Perfect mix of the traditional stupid packaged costumes that are fun to look and absolutely crazy clothes that make being anything on Halloween possible.
I'm still trying to find a lampshade for my costume..I'm being the lamp lamp from A Christmas Story. I may have to commandeer the lamp in my room as a last resort.

Circus class at the Actor's Gynmasium, I finally got my leg up..and stuck up.
Trip to Threadless offices. So many shirts!

Ouch.

How is it that I manage to avoid burning myself all day long in a hot glass shop, then burn my hand on the oven making pizza at home? 2300 degree liquid glass? No problem..but 400 degree itty bitty oven, WATCH OUT folks!!!

weekend is almost over.

I thought about writing a eulogy for this weekend because it was that good. It's sunday night, now. Kaitlyn, Leigh, and I are watching really cool stuff on youtube. It's just one of those really good nights. It's raining outside and it's the kind of rain that is so gooooood to listen to. sooo gooooood. Leigh and I went on a fantastic bike ride all the way up to Loyola today. Turns out, the lakefront bike path does not go all the way up..we thought it did, and it was pretty sad when it ended. All in all it was a good day.
Also, I ate Indian leftovers and honeycrisp apples.
