By the subject line, I bet many of you think this entry will entertain you with my St. Patrick's Day dance adventures...but you are wrong! The Shamrock Shuffle is an annual 8k race put on by Bank of America, and takes place in downtown Chicago. It also happens to be the first race I have EVER run! 8k is roughly 5 miles in length, which made for a ( Read more... )

I was thinking about this the other day: we very often will suddenly come upon a memory of our college years, and have the urge to message the participants in said memory via cell phone or website. The problem here is that with such a direct form of communication, not all can enjoy in the memory. Whether the response to the memory is a belly laugh ( Read more... )

I'm not kidding with that subject line. 'Cold' does not even describe the weather here in Chicago right now. During the warmest part of the day today it was 1 degree Farhenheit, with a wind chill of -25. Right now the wind chill is around -30. When you walk outside, the first breath of air you take in your mouth completely stuns your lungs. Then, ( Read more... )

Any of you computer savvy people out there know much about external hard drives? I'm looking to get one to back up files, and store some music (a lot of music). I was just looking at Best Buy to get some price ideas, but realize I know nothing about reliable brands, or even the possibility of getting a cheaper one somewhere. Peace, love and ( Read more... )

I realized that I did not add Shana's wedding to my list of things I will see in 2008...but that's only because I didn't know the date, and I was thinking specifically summer weddings. I also wrote that entry at 11pm and I had had a few drinks during the Golden Globe press conference (anti climactic bull shit). Much love and apologies to the Shana- ( Read more... )

Once again, an immense amount of time has elapsed since my last entry. If there was ever a time in my life that this might change it would be now...because...I FINALLY bought a new laptop! After saving up some gig money, receiving a little christmas cash, and cashing in on a student discount, I converted to a real gay's computer...The MacBook! She' ( Read more... )

I just booked my flight (same flight as Last Cup) to DC for November 16! It's official, I'm in! and I'm peeing myself with excitement. Pretty sure I'm not marching. Anne and I discussed this and we're not sure we can make the rehearsal, don't want to pay for it, and don't want to be committed. Is anyone marching ( Read more... )

I will begin my entry as usual with an apology for being lame, and not posting for EONS. I guess there is a great deal to report, but I only a limited time to do so...so let's begin with ( Read more... )

Remember how in college I rarely cooked? I was king of sandwiches and frozen foods. After college, that never really changed. I can eat Morning Star Farms frozen vegetarian corndogs every day of the week. I still follow the directions religiously when making Mac & Cheese or Lipton flavored noodles. My skills in the kitchen = my respect for Paris ( Read more... )

I looked at my own livejournal today and realized that i have posted since March...for that I apologize ( Read more... )
