Really upsets me.

Aurora
Joel sent me a link to a story about the shooting in Colorado this morning.
First, total shock and horror. Just…horrific. I can’t really synthesize any thoughts on the situation.
Second, previous gun control post.
Third, I don’t mean to make this about me (it’s *obviously* not), but this has honestly been one of the major fears in my life. Every time (every time!) I go...

It is absolutely insane to me that gun control is even a “debate.” Can’t even get started on this one….

– I was looking through the Chicagoist “about” page and this is the “Special Thanks To” section a.k.a. “all the people that have but no longer write for Chicagoist.” It is an incredibly impressive list.

I started a new tumblr for just personal “work” (or rather, most likely just snapshots from my life). I found a bunch today whilst searching for other photos for work and realized if I don’t blog them they just languish on the computer. So, here. Nothing special now, but if so inclined, follow along.

I have always had an extreme distaste for The Animals and their version of this song because it was released just months after Nina Simone’s FAR SUPERIOR rendition came out. Even with the...
Oh man. I had such a great time tonight. 11 fabu women and dancing at 694, liars club and the whistler (amazing).
Was also called “silly sexy” and “fly as hell” by a Christian Bale lookalike that I danced with (who was admittedly slightly frighteningly intense, much like c bale).
I shall consider this eve a success.
