books are better than boys

I live in Chicago but I'm an east coast girl at heart. I like bicycles, beer, and books.

Caught in the act.

Caught in the act.

This past week I’ve been in bummer city. From Friday to Saturday I had a comically awful twenty-four hours which included getting stuck in an elevator for thirty minutes (which is neither as fun nor as scary as I thought it might have been, just incredibly boring/frustrating). But I am sure that no one wants to hear me whine about it (and a big thanks to those friends who already did).
Things haven’t been all bad though - my new computer should (fingers crossed) be here next week, the Bears game on Sunday was great (minus Cutler’s injury), I saw Big for the first time (the Josh-Susan relationship is super creepy, right?), got my hands of a copy of Infinite Jest (Infinite Winter, here I come), and in just a few hours four glorious days of vacation begin.
p.s. Look at me, kind of smiling in that picture. I think it’s true that smiling can make you happier.p.p.s Current mantra.

It’s about time for me to consider chopping off all my hair again. It generally happens with little notice, in winter, on trips to New York, in someone’s kitchen.

There was this one time I decided to talk on all of the phones, all at once. I should add this picture to the ol’ resume to illustrate my superior multitasking skills. It’ll fit in nicely right after “Makes the perfect taco.” Oh, no, maybe right before, because nothing can really follow, makes the perfect taco, can it?
