Here are those pictures

It's been awhile since my last picture post. A lot of crazy events have taken place:

Above: We went to our friend Karen's play which was really fun.

Above: Afterwards we went to the Kit Kat club in boystown. That was really fun too.

Above: The next night was Seans Birthday party. It was really emotional, but really fun.

Last night I played poker for a whiskey ad and fell asleep. No more explanation than that.
I have so many great pictures that no one can see yet because I lost the cord that connects my camera to my computer. Oh well, it just makes them more historic. I will add in pictures that I find online that I think are relavent to the subject Im talking about. Like this one...



So the CSC has had a gig opening for the Trash Town Boys, and it has totally reaffirmed my love for everyone on that team. Everyone is so supportive of each other, and I just feel so comfortable playing and dancing with them. I just want to move into a cabin in the woods with them, and when we run out of food I want them all to eat me alive.



I used the grill my mom got me for my birthday and we had some really tasty hamburgers. It was the perfect day for it, 70 degrees and sunny, then the next day we hit 40 again. Makes me want to complain about it...



But instead ill post this hilarious clip art...

I love clip art so much...



I call this one "Facilitating the Handshake"

Chicago on pennies a day

Im sure a lot of you reading this blog are thinking "Chicago sounds great but it must be super expensive." Hmmm, you have a good point, but:


Case 1: Village Discount Thrift in Roscoe Villiage


Anthony Clutches his gently used items.
I found this amazing gem!
Our total on 5 vests, 3 shirts and a pair of pants was 8 dollars.
Case 2: Artemios Bakery in Wrigleyville



Guess how much these tasty pastries cost me:
...
The answer is 3.10.
So if you eat pastries all the time and wear other peoples discarded clothes, you can live on pennies a day.

So the company I bought my new camera from canceled my order because the camera is now discontinued. This may be more than a mere canceled order, but a conspiracy.

Fact: When I first moved to Chicago I used to work at Ritz Camera (Ritz and Wolf camera are the same company)

Fact: I resigned the day I got a new job. The higher-ups threw a fit.

Fact: WolfCamera.com is where I ordered the camera. I happen to know from a pretty good source that they have plenty in stock and that the model is not discontinued.

But despite the corporate machine trying to keep me down, I fixed my old camera for the time being. Which is for the best because I keep losing money.

Nice Weekend

Friday we had our last reading... Kind of sad. But there is other stuff going on that should keep our group together: a potential sketch show, the New class, and just plain friendship.

Saturday I watched VCU lose to Pittsburgh. I was a little sad about it, but I am still so happy that we eliminated Duke. Plus VCU is growing more and more as a school, which means more money, which means they should have an even better team next year. Who knows. It's weird, because I have more school spirit now than I ever did when I went there.

Here is a picture that I find very amusing:


ever feeling grumpy, this site will cheer you up.

Go RAMS!!!!


Amazing, totally amazing! Such a great game, and for me a major emotional roller coaster.

We were at Leona's (a relatively quiet sit-down restaurant) for my belated birthday dinner and the game was on. Right near the end I got super excited, and started to tear up. When they won I broke down a little. AMAZING!



AMAZING!


What makes this event even more sweet is that I dislike Duke intensely.

Go Rams!

My new eyes

So I just bought a digital camera. Here it is:


It got mixed reviews from different websites, but it was cheap and I really liked my last Nikon. From now on I will be able to show you my world, through my eyes, which means you will get to see a lot of this:


Also, I explored the basement of the building I work at. It is amazing. Secret passageways! Im serious! Basically it is an underused jewish childrens museum, and there are little passageways that lead you down long corridors. They usually lead to to other parts of the museum but Im hoping one of them leads here:
