..Brewers baseball. Rocking out. Biking on the lake. Sailing in the lake. The lake. The 42nd Ward. Contemporary art. Sleeping. Hangin' with the In Crowd. Wandering around the neighborhood. Shaking my ass. Sushi. Architecture. Watching the Illini lose. Keepin it real. Dessert. Staring at maps. Traveling. When not traveling- planning my next adventure.
Music
..Rock! Foo Fighters, Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver, U2, Godsmack, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Korn, Disturbed, Rage, and so on...
The best music throughtout history has been created by people on drugs. From absinthe-sipping composers to Jimi Hendrix to Scott Weiland.
Movies
I like stuff like Michael Clayton and Arlington Road. What genre would you call that? Conspiracy-theorist-psycho-killer-thriller?
Television
..Lost, Family Guy, Entourage, The Daily Show, Sex and the City, I Love Lucy (which may be 50 years old, but is by far funnier than any current sitcoms), CSI, Seinfeld, Survivor, Anderson Cooper, those Chicago architecture shows on channel 11, Len and Bob!
They're not necessarily my favorite shows, but I would kick a lot of ass on Top Design, The Amazing Race and Dancing with the Stars.
Books
..Read "The Devil in the White City" if you haven't already.
About me: I like to drive with the sunroof open and the radio cranked. I always get the window seat on airplanes. Between May 2007 and May 2008, I will have flown 50,434 miles, including 36 happy hours spent in business class of a United 747. 747's excite me; single engine planes terrify me. I'm on a quest to visit every major league ballpark (11 down- plus 3 at spring training). My passport has stamps from Japan and the Czech Republic among others. I drink martinis. Someday I'll get a dog. I'll only live in a city on the water that has a MLB team. Skyscrapers are beautiful. My desk is the cleanest in our office. I usually wear heels. I'm full of contradictions in that I highly dislike status things like Louis Vuitton purses, but I am highly attracted to men with status. And, I'm totally a city girl, but the happiest years of my life were spent smelling the aroma of the South Farms. The landscapes I am most comfortable in are canyons of glass and steel skyscrapers and lush tropical beaches. I feel a strong connection to Chicago, as if I was here before. Like from the 1890s-1920's. Then, I was probably gunned down for bootlegging.

May the Chief dance forever...
Who I'd like to meet: Exciting news- I just met Mayor Daley, so I should remove him from the list. That just leaves Scott Weiland, Tom Morello and Clooney.
okay, so after thorough examination of your site...you might possibly be the coolest person ever. We must travel together! I love traveling and I need a traveling buddy.
Until a few days ago I would have agreed... but now it sounds like it could be Chet Edwards...
My phone hasn't rang yet today... they may have found some funny pictures somewhere or something... I knew I wouldn't get past the vetting process anyway...
What's up Paz! Hum...hell yeah! I LOVE(D) them. For some reason I don't even remember their Planetfest performance as much as their shows at the bar on Green St. Was it called Mabel's? That place rocked. HUM rocked. Dude, you're a Sox fan now? Nice. Stay cool!
I love your "About Me" writings. I also dig on the scents of South Farms. Cities on lakes with MLB teams are the ONLY cities that I even count! That's why I hope Portland, Oregon gets a team or else I can't move there (or can't count it).
ok i fucking love you and i believe you may be the only person who didn't black out please tell me what the hell happened at the end of the night everyone i talked to can't remember LOL messes!
Hey Gingi, so good to hear from you :) Yes, I will be posting more photos. It just takes so much time to pick out the good ones, I really took a lot of them. I didn't want to miss a minute of my trip and wanted to capture everything on camera. I think I will appreciate it when I'm old :)
Just got back from Boston and NYC. I became a Red Sox fan :) I loved Fenway Park. It reminded me of Wrigleyville in a way, it also is very small. My cousin from Boston is a Patriots fan and she invited me to come over again and go to the game with her. Can't wait for that :)
How have you been? How's life treating you? We should go out for cocktails soon.
