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.

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....
