i got a love that keeps me waiting

I've been dancing around my apartment like an idiot all night to the Black Keys' "Lonely Boy". If you haven't seen this video, then you should. Because I basically looked the same.

this is...

...what 75¢ mac 'n' cheese looks like.
a.k.a, how I'm drastically saving money this month.
a.k.a, a stomach ulcer waiting to happen.

Not letting work get in the way of spoiling my Halloween spirit.

After an afternoon of watching Dexter, I decided I needed to get out of the house. I found this little guy enjoying our (possibly last) day of warmth.

the fatal lozenge

The Tourist huddles in the station
While slowly night gives way to dawn
He finds a certain fascination
In knowing all the trains are gone

over the weekend

Warning: extremely photo heavy post

This weekend I had one of the greatest people come in for a visit. Sacha and I met on our very first day of orientation at Wooster. First we were neighbors in Douglas Hall, then acquaintances in Russian, and then the pretentious kids in Intro to Photography. We've been friends ever since. I hate living so far from her, but I'm glad we got to spend a short time together after not seeing her for a year and half (!). Love you, Sach!

Mmm, fall.






So happy that I was able to take someone to my favorite place in Chicago.






Drunk on a bus.


After a particularly annoying day at work, I came home and had these as a surprise. That girl is amazing.


Sach obviously got the superior waffle.

I have a lot of pictures of Sach taking pictures...

holy shit

It's 11 o'clock and I don't have a picture yet. I've been making everything spic 'n' span in this dumpy apartment for my weekend guest!

craft night

I can't ever be productive on my days off. Forget everything that I should be doing, I just want to do arts and crafts.

chicago fall doesn't exist.

Stacy H and I had grand plans to for pumpkin picking, but it's slim pickins' in this city. We had a busted trip up to Ravenswood, but we didn't let that damper our fall spirits.

This is Pepper. Well, her official name is Pepper. But she normally goes by Meow Meow.
Or Pooper.
Or Cat.

bad habits

When I'm under great amounts of stress, I develop a lot of bad habits, and poor eating is definitely one of them. The other day when I had Lunchables for dinner (actual dinner), I realized that I am an adult, and I should probably eat like one. So the other day I marched myself up to the Trader Joe's, walked right past the Australian licorice and chocolate covered [insert equally delicious food here] and bought myself some actual ingredients to make actual food. I did all right for a day, but after copious amounts of Tootsie Rolls at work today, I came home and sat on the couch (I've been trying to eat more at the table, but obviously failed in that aspect as well) and just ate chips and salsa. No, probably not whole grain tortilla chips, and the salsa doesn't have chunks of fresh vegetables. But you know what? It was fucking delicious. And then I watched more Party Down and now my language has gone to fucking hell. Oh well, so much for ridding myself of all my imperfections.

And Elliot is now safe at home, with a new logic board, courtesy of Apple. Unfortunately, I guess when I don't have a computer for editing purposes, I guess I don't really care about taking pictures, because I fell way behind. A couple are missing because they were on my red Canon, but as you can see below, it has ceased to be. It's gone to meet it's maker. It is an ex-camera. Oh well, nothing really interesting happened anyway. Trips to the graveyard, bus excursions, and liberated feet that no longer belong to the shoe department!
