Bucktown

We left the office early on Friday to walk around Bucktown, where the streets are lines with interesting shops, cafes and a really good french restaurant--where dinner was. Around the area was a club where the Rolling Stones used to play! I thought the place was quite lovely. I won't mind living in the neighborhood! I am grateful for a lot of things, and another thing to be grateful for is to have a boss who is not only brilliant but would go out of her way to catch up, shop and hang out with you even if she (1) is flying out for a conference the next week, (2) finalising the objectives, aspiration and personal development plan of her global team and (3) throwing a birthday for her three year old next day.

Bulls

I'm so glad I caught the game tonight.

Good things come in three. First, there were really good baskets made tonight.Second, I got my three seconds of fame, only because there was a cute kid sitting beside me holding a sign that said I love the Bulls!.And because they made it to a hundred, I get a free big mac too! :)

lucky

I don't think I'd have the energy--or ability to write about what I did for St. Patrick's, but I'm happy to post what I have to remember the day by.

somehow...

this old city is starting to grow on me.

love is like an onion...

...flaunting its fabulous form on top of the middle seared scallop on my dinner plate :)

I can't say enough wonderful things about my dinner, I however won't bother typing about that because I don't really see the point.

I've posted instead, this masterpiece.

Chicago Theatre

This one here just scream CHICAGO--almost quite literally. I was hoping to catch an interesting act.

Sarah Silverman was on last week--but sold out.

Janet Jackson is on this week, but somehow I don't really feel like listening to Again in this condition. That condition being seemingly having acute bronchitis.

Let's see how I'd fair next week.

BEAN walking around

I had some time to walk around on Saturday and decided the first thing I wanted to see was the bean.I'd hear people say all the time "Who makes a giant bean and passes it off as something brilliant?", maybe not those words exactly. But something close. I heard similar comments too when I was there.I thought it was genius. For one, it is a gold mine of photo ideas!It is very clean and sort of a good modern twist to a seemingly old city. I LOVE IT.I tried to get a good bean photo, but this was the best that I could get. Oh well.There were some skaters too! What was fantastic though was that Rick Astley was playing in the background! NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!

in too deep

Someone told me that UNO was the original deep dish pizza and Lou once worked there....

I haven't tasted UNO, but if it is better than Lou's that that should be terribly good, as I'd literally walk miles to get another one of Lou's ;)

a little heat

I thought this was the cutest thing! A sure way to heat things up--a little ;)
