25: sleep to dream

I am lazy and still tired from the busy week, so I took this with Photo Booth on my computer, but then Poladroided it. I think this program is my favorite discovery.

I had a busy few days with lots of staying up late and getting up early. On Wednesday, I drove to Chicago and got in at 1am. Thursday was Thanksgiving and I stayed up late after the family dinner catching up with old friends. I spent Friday showing Alex and Adam around downtown Chicago, followed by a delicious steak dinner at one of my favorite restaurants. Yesterday Alex and I drove back, then saw ReadyGoes and White Light Riot at the (packed) Entry. We probably should've gone to bed instead, but we could not resist the RG/WLR combo.

23: thanksgiving

Okay, so this isn't really a self-portrait since my sister took it, but oh well. My cousin Matt wanted to be in my blog.

22: morning radio

I got someone to cover my radio show last night so I could go to the Weaver at the Loom/Low vs. Diamond/Barcelona show at the Varsity. I can't remember the last time I went to a show that early. It started at 6 and was done by 9. It was nice though because I had time to hang out with my roommate and hit the gym after I got home. The show itself was fun. I got to hang a little with Sara who I hadn't seen for awhile and I helped out one of her friends who just got a Nikon D60. Also, I adore Barcelona and they were fabulous. Listening to them reminds me of being in Australia, as their album was constantly on repeat during my daily bus commute to and from Parliament. They toured with my amigos This World Fair this summer, so I saw them a ridiculous amount (From Milwaukee to Minneapolis to Chicago to Madison to San Francisco...it was a good summer).

Speaking of which, I have not gone on any crazy music road trips this semester. It's weird. I haven't even been back to Illinois since Lollapalooza. I don't really miss it too much either. Minnesota has stolen my heart.

21: it's hip to be square

I swear I will solve this someday. I can do the top layer in a little over a minute though....

20: smile

19: mirror, mirror

Cliched mirror shot.

18: you are what you eat

I fell back in love with my Egg Muffin Toaster, a brilliant contraption that coordinates the toasting of an english muffin and the poaching of an egg. In the dorms, it was good, in a kitchen, a whole new level of amazing is possible.

Naturally, it broke a few days later. It has been replaced with an egg poaching pan, which is cool, but nowhere near as fabulous.

17: lazy

Photoboothed last night when I decided it would be a better idea to talk on the phone than work on either of the papers I have due tomorrow or even take a decent picture.

I should brush my hair before doing these, clearly.

16: ghost town radio

Another boring night in the station.

15: zoinks

13: i'm looking through you

I'm almost invisible.

11 & 12: don't forget the flowers, someday, i know you will

I did three yesterday to make up for days missed.

My boyfriend brought me dinosaur flowers. They are pretty and we are dorks.

10: hoping that we're gonna make a move to the left

Election Day. Voting = free cookie.

Four years ago I voted for Obama for senator and now for president.

9: another song the radio won't like

Where I spend my Monday nights from 6-8. Doing a radio show solo is quite boring. My co-host bailed. Grrr.

8: something looks different

redo of my first picture, this time with carved pumpkins (except mine is just wearing a hat since the roommates carved them while i was out of town). the lighting sucks, but oh well.
