Chicago hugged me today.
It was a very hot, sweaty hug, but a loving one nonetheless.

On September 5th I'll have been living here a year. I remember feeling like the city hated me when I first moved, but I am developing a love of the city that's more than just an enjoyment of living in it. I'm starting to feel what I can best describe as ( Read more... )

Fall is the best season. Thanks for playing Spring, Summer, and Winter-- don't try again. It'll always be Fall ( Read more... )

Both of the interviews went well, and I'm feeling optimistic. :)
I cleaned the entire apartment and did laundry also.
My brain is fried.
