So, last night my mom came into town.  We ate some ambrosial Giordano's deep dish spinach pizza.  Then today, which is her birthday, we went to the Lincoln Park zoo.  It was actually a really nice day for it.  The zoo was pretty fun, except it made me realize how much I hate children.

Then, as we were waiting for the bus home, out of nowhere, ( Read more... )

So I did this shoot for a hair studio today.

I've been excited-slash-anxious about it, because they were gonna pay me $450 dollars for it, and the photos were gonna go on their website (check out their prices, to give you an idea), but it ended up involving a lot more work than expected, so instead I got $600!!!!

And pizza

...I'm a swing voter.  I'm liberal, but I'm not a democrat.

But all I do is listen to NPR all day and get increasingly mad at the RNC.

I ( Read more... )

Fourth of July is something totally different in Chicago.  A city where not only are fireworks legal, but the city that boasts the largest population of Puerto Ricans this side of the Mason-Dixie.

I mean last night I stood in the street and literally, literally there were at least 8 explosions for every passing second within earshot.  And I was even ( Read more... )

I'm overdue for an update.  Sorry.

Comfest was pretty fun.  Although I don't remember much of it. 
However, I overscheduled my visit by a day, maybe two.  I don't have the option to not be working.

Speaking of, I'm stupid broke.  I don't make shit at my boring job, and I don't have very good job security there for various reasons.  Partly because I ( Read more... )
