Puppy Land: Land o' Pee Puddles

The new puppy has arrived.  Lina is a little fluff ball who has many talents such as screaming, peeing from excitement, eating Bradley's toys, and a never ending supply of energy.  Aside from the screaming (which I didn't know dogs could do) and the pee, she's an adorably amazing little pooch.  I should note that Lina is named after Angelina and thus we have Brangelina. Bradley is so enthused, ha.

Besides puppy time, school has started again. I am just finishing my first week and I've already had a quiz, a paper due next wednesday, and two project drafts due next week. For those of you who think college is easy, then maybe you want to take my place. In addition to the whole school business, the video shoot is coming along slowly but surely.  Lack of sleep, school, new puppy problems, and the million things that need to get done for the shoot make for zombie Sarah. Luckily though, I haven't gotten back into drinking too much coffee or red bull, so far I am good on my black tea and fruit. We'll see how long that lasts.

Mom and Dad came into town last weekend.  We went to the Chicago History Museum, which was something I had wanted to do all summer.  They have a life sized Chicago dog and lots of other neat treasures.  

Moms.

Bikes!

Siblings.  Where's the finger Reas?

He's going to kill me later.

Bradleys!

Lina!

6 AM, getting ready for school.

So, its not like my life has been terribly busy but its either been really exciting and fun or I've been really tired and napping, so that's basically why I haven't updated this business. My friends are fun, Bradley is still cute, summer is awesome, and the bike is treating me well.  Last week was Lollapalooza which I like to pretend doesn't happen (sorry to those who like it). Anyhoo, as my friends and I were avoiding the downtown frenzy we went to Rainbo.  Its a bit of a hipster haven so I guess we shouldn't have been surprised to run into Jack White there, but as an added bonus Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl was there (he's also in a band).  Basically Jack White pretends like he knows my friends and I and then bought us drinks and hung out.  It was pretty exciting if you ask me. 

In other interesting news I am working on Evan and Antoine's new music video with Joe and Shayssa and a bunch of other kids.  Not that I know a thing about music videos but I am responsible (more so than a lot of kids my age) so I am production manager and my job is to make sure we're on schedule and yell at people and stuff.  The job is perfect if you ask me.  I am Ari Gold, ha.  We shoot the video the last weekend of August and it should be pretty crazy/interesting/fun.  I'll be sure to take pictures of the shoot and post them. But anyhoo, here are a few pictures of pretty much nothing. Just some things I've shot that I like. 

Chicago looking over the highway. Favorite bike ride. 

Chicago had a hurricane the other day, it was either that or a sign of the Apocalypse.  Diana, Bradley and I hung out in the stairwell after the tornado sirens went off and then went back inside when we heard that the roof door was open and people yelling.

Work, I've seen some interesting things from this window.
