My nose is a runnin'

Long time no blog.  Lots of things have been going on and are in the works for the near future.  I had my last day at Feast on Monday.  It was oddly sad when people came up and gave me hugs and said how great it was to work with me.  Who knew the end of my hostessing career would be something that would make people say they'd miss me.  Anyhoo, in place of a job I am now volunteering at Inspiration Corporation in Uptown.  I am helping cook food and do other odd jobs.  Hopefully though I'll get more involved soon with their newsletter or some such thing.  Also this week I've been blessed with a lovely head cold.  Blowing my nose all through Rhetorical Criticism today wasn't embarrassing at all.  

In exciting and relieving news I've turned in my graduation application AND I finally got around to declaring my photography minor.  Long story short, I was cutting it so close that I didn't think they would let me do it but a'las that Communications major has paid off and I talked (tricked) them into letting me turn in my minor.  So now a big weight is off my shoulders and now I can take care of business.  

This next week thought is exciting.  I am going to KC tomorrow for Fall break. I've got some doctors appointments to take care of and some major lounging with Murphy to do.  After some hopefully relaxing days in KC another Casey with be in my life.  The lovely Casey Cusick is returning to the Windy City and I expect nothing less than a top notch visit from her.  But enough of this writing.  Here is a large photo update on things dating back to the summer.  

Once upon a time it was summer and Kelly and I hung out at Pontiac.  Its been getting down to the 40's and 50's lately and it definitely feels like summer is gone.  Bring on fall layers.

Look closely at this picture.

I'll help you out a little.  This gem of a human being was walking down Damen.  Imagine trying to enjoy a meal after seeing that much skin.

The Bowman family does the bean.  It was bound to happen.

Redbull Fluvog. The most boring thing I've ever been to. I should have booed. 

Photo shoot set up. The pictures ended up sucking a lot. Go figure. 

Lina helped.  Actually she was probably busy pooping underneath my bed.  

Lina and her baby sleeping while she's wearing her sailor outfit. 

Dan and I went to the Hideout Blockparty.  We went late but made it to see Ratatat which was pretty good.  Although I would have liked it better if they had played in an inclosed space.  The sound just escaped and took away from the atmosphere.  

Dan.  He took me to see the Chicago Fire play the LA Galaxy.  The Chicago Fire won and beat Beckham. 

This was the best I could do with Beckham shots.  He was amazing looking per usual.

DJ Dan playing nothing but the finest. Including 50 cent. Just kidding, he's better than that. He played that as a joke yet I am still concerned that he owns in on vinyl.
