summerrrr

Obviously I've totally slacked at posting, but I am back to the grind. Being in KC was relaxing and I had some good times with friends such as Amber and Ali.  After KC I finally made it back to Chicago so now I am here trying to get on some kind of schedule but that's pretty hard since its summer and the whole point of summer is not having a schedule. I've been doing a lot of walking Bradley, riding my bike, and hanging out with Laura and Suzy. Some highlights of being back have been seeing Monika and Chadwick and eating at Chicago Diner all in one night (their vegan "milk"shakes are amazing), going to see Katie A. in her new band Bromance minus the getting really lost finding the venue, seeing Crystal Castles for free at Double Door, actually the best part of that was the free part but also the actually getting in and the sweaty uber excited kids parts weren't too bad either, and group bike rides are always nice.  
The weather has been pretty amazing lately, little to no humidity and in the 70's or low 80's.  Yesterday was a perfect day, slept in, went on a good run, layed out on the roof with Reas and Diana, helped Kenton move, hit up pizza metro with Kenton and pooch, saw Curt and Josh play at Sonotheque with Laura and Suzy, went to Rodans, ran into some friends on Milwaukee and came home.  Down points of the evening were that I got a flat on my bike and lost my favorite sweater but those things are easily fixed. Anyhoo I got my job back at Feast which is good news for the pocket book.  I am actually excited to work there again, mainly because its really easy and I have a super flexible schedule. Tomorrow is free day at the Chicago History Museum so I think I am going to hit that up.  I want to go to one of the museums once a week this summer. Kelly and I have a thing called Adventure Wednesdays where we do something interesting in the city and just have a fun day, so I am adding another day to my week which is Museum Day.  I just want to get in as much fun and adventuring as I can this summer because its my last one. After this its all business and no fun. Anyhoo here are some random pictures from my daily goings on. 
View from the roof. I am going to be hanging out here a lot this summer.



This is where I hang out a lot in the morning. I watch people ride their bikes down the street and the cars slam on their brakes because they didn't see the speed bump. 

Puerto Rican Fest! Its officially summer in Chicago.

Crystal Castles. We waited in line for 30 minutes for this business. Good thing it was fun, and free.

Kelly is going to kill me for putting this up here, but I think she looks cute. I missed this lady lots while I was gone.

Ali is hiding and Amber is obviously having fun. Alex just wants to know what's going on.
