Jeopardy Audition!
So I got offered another Jeopardy audition in Chicago on May 28th. Just booked my ticket flying out the 27th and back the 28th. Anyone out there in Chicago I could crash with for the night? Maybe want to hang out the night of the 27th or during the day the 28th, since I'll have time to kill. -

Tuesday -- sunny, 80 degrees
Forecast for Thursday -- ice pellets, 35 degrees
Sorry for all the commenting on the weather lately, but it is this sort of thing that definitely draws my notice. -
Wintertime
The first snow fell in town overnight and this morning. November 14th. It has never before been so late in the year before Denver got its first snow. We usually start looking for it at the end of September, and if there still hasn't been any before the middle of October, we deem it an unusual weather year ( Read more... ) -
End of the Beginner (Sample pack)
I finally reached the end of my Beginner's Sampler Pack of perfumes about a week ago. I'm already starting to forget some of my reactions to some of the scents, so I really need to get these last 7 reviews down ( below the cut )
