Not a whole ton going on round these parts for me. Classes start up next week and I have an orientation for the School of Education at Loyola tomorrow after work. Hopefully those will bring some talking!
In the mean time. Here is a ridiculous video that Caleb showed me. Not my fault if you're slightly offended!
... So, there you goes!

Equality Apparel Returns Again!
Alrighty folks, so once again I have decided to keep moving forward with Equality Apparel. With that, I have some new designs that I would LOVE your opinions on. Remember, these are (more or less) concepts and are subject to change. Also, I probably wont do the designs on a white shirt unless people really liked them in white. Also also, although shown on V-necks, crew necks are still quite an option.
Let me know what you think! Please give each design a 1-5 rating. 5 being the best, 1 being the worst.
Any comments/opinions you have on the designs would help me out a ton! Thanks so much in advance!

My Little Lunch Spot
So when it's nice out and I get the chance to leave the office for lunch I found this great place to eat. It's right next to the Art Institute (I feel I may have talked about this in a previous post now... oh well). It's set back from Michigan Ave. with a nice "berm" of trees/fence-ish. It's also set into the ground further removing it from it's busy surroundings. The trees throughout create a canopy that makes it its own little space in the city. On top of all that there is a large fountain in the middle of it all. The white noise is just enough to drown out the busy street just outside.
There is some pretty good people watching too! Here is a picture of my nice, relaxing lunch spot.

New Fav Pizza
I had a craving for pizza while at work today and decided to order some for dinner. I've ordered pizza one other time from a place right down the street from my apartment but wasn't too impressed. Figured I'd try something else.
Looked online to see what my options were and found a Sarpino's a block or so away. (granted I had it delivered but it was free delivery!) First off, they take 15% off just for ordering online! They have 53453 deal options. I got free garlic cheese bread! Anyway, on to the actual pizza!
I opted for a "gourmet" specialty pizza. I got the Pesto Lovers... just wait till you hear what's in it!
On a side note, I had planned on going to the gym before the pizza got here... but 1) it was raining, 2) I took a longer nap than I thought I was going to, 3) I was determined to 3 star the first level of Angry Birds... fatty ho!

Floor...
So remember how I was telling you my first A/C unit was leaking all over my floor? Well, this is what the aftermath of it is.
Yeah, mind you at first it was just a huge bump on my floor. Until I woke up yesterday (still kind of a zombie) and forgot about it... my foot did not appreciate it. Sent this photo to my building peeps. We shall see if anything is to come of it.

Meet Gloria!
I am happy to introduce you all to a Miss Gloria!
As you can see, Gloria is my new, and beautiful, HTC Trophy. She is a glorious Windows Phone and I love her dearly!
She is the replacement for the replacement of my poor Norma (my old Chocolate Touch that died). I have a feeling that Gloria and I are going to have quite the love affair together. Between her Zune software, X-box Live games, 2093840423958043 available apps, and BEAUTIFUL interface (the home screen whatnots), it's going to be a great couple of years.
So here's to us Gloria! May our love only grow with the OS upgrade coming in a few months!

A good lunch hour?
Hey there my adoring fans!
So I decided to walk over to the Borders on State Street during my lunch hour. I figured I would see if they had anything worthwhile still left before they close forevers (mega sad day). They didn't really have all that much, although I didn't look through the books too hard. I was mainly looking at the 50% off blurays, which I got Moulin Rouge and HP Chamber of Secrets, so that was good. Now comes the other part... while walking on State Street, which is basically a mini Michigan Ave, I wentpast into the Aldo that happens to be having their clearance sale right now. I did this with the Aldo close to my house but they didn't have the pair I had seen online that I liked and simply figured I would be done with that. Well, didn't realize there was a State Street Aldo until now. They had the shoes, not my size though. Then they threw out the whole free shipping if you order from the store... oops.
So yeah, I went out to get some movies, and ended up with a cute ass pair of shoes too!

What the hell day?!?
Okay, so the day started off kind of shitty, not gonna lie. I've been having some issues with my A/C unit the last couple of weeks. Its been dripping and leaking water all over the place so I put in a work order once and they came but of course it had stopped and was all dried up. Well, I wake up this morning, swing out of bed, and splash... I step into a pretty big puddle on the floor. Now it had done this before but not NEARLY as bad. This time it had flowed under my bed where my shoes are and soaked a lot of them... including my nice once I got from Italy. Not Cool. So was late getting out the door because I had to get all the water up off the floor.
Work wasn't bad or anything, I just had nothing to do. I actually (and unfortunately) managed to discover the awful/awesomeness that is The A List New York, which is essentially the Gay Housewives of NY on Logo. So yeah, I watched that all day... I'm so bad I know. Left work and it was hot out, nothing new. Just wanted to get home to a hopefully fixed A/C unit...
Alrighty kids, so they indeed came to fix my unit. Even replaced it... however, they replaced it with a 15 year old (tag said made in 1996) piece of crap. Now my first one, although leaky, was pretty new. It had a nice digital control with an energy saver mode and everyone, which I used constantly because I enjoy being energy efficient most of the time. Back to the new old POS. First, it's ugly. It has a crappy foe wood front. Knobs that have the option of "hot or cold" and "hi or low." In order to have the vents not pointing at the ceiling I have to jam a pen in it. Now the best part... it doesn't blow out cool air for shit! I was sitting on my couch with just my undies (it was warm and I didn't feel like putting cloths back on after getting out of my work ones) and was still sweeting... my couch is a whole 10 feet away from the A/C unit.
So I do my venting to the obvious peeps (Mom, Caleb, Facebook) and then what happens... the damn power goes out. Now my first reaction is "crap, that old POS blew the freaking fuse!" Did my additional ranting to the peeps, then decided to investigate further. Apparently my entire block managed to lose power. So now I'm at the boy's place because he has power and A/C that works great!
Oh, then on the way to Caleb's place my phone decided to freeze every 4 seconds... fabulous.

Need of a Camera Phone
Yes, at the moment I am back in the stone age and have a loaner phone (because my Chocolate Touch took a crap on me... ew) without a camera. Now normally I really wouldn't care, I've never been on top of things when it come to the technology game. HOWEVER, since I moved to Chicago I have seen some ridiculous things and soooo wish I had a camera on my phone to discretely document the crazy/awesome.
Example 1:
The one night I was coming back from doing something (really don't remember) and waiting for the L to come what do I see, I guy in Birkenstocks, white knee socks... and a bath robe. This would have been a hilarious picture! But alas, I had the craptastic loaner.
Example 2:
On my way into work at the intersection right in front of my office there were a bunch of male models, all only in their undies and dress shoes/socks. Again, craptastic loaner strikes again.
I would LOVE to finally start my "Seen in Chicago" update to this here blog (which I really need to get better at posting in a timely fashion) but silly phone just wont work. There is hope though! Next week I should be able to finally upgrade my phone! My upgrade date is the 12th but the Verizon store said they might be able to do it a week early. I'm not sure why it's a "might" situation, this seems like a "yes I can upgrade it early" or a "no you have to wait" type thing, but whatevs.
Anyway, oh look, I have run out of coffee. Looks like I'm going to have to go back outside and get another one from Starbucks. Darn, I'm going to have to see the shirtless boys again!

July in a nutshell
Okay, so I realize I completely blanked out with the whole blogging thing for the entire month of July so we are going to do a quick recap! Here is July in a nutshell (but not like the squirrel I posted).
Month started out pretty slow still waiting for the new job to start. Painted my apartment at the end of June (as posted) so I was cleaning that up for a while. OH! I forgot that I am actually not too bad of a cook! I had random things that I had bought food wise in my fridge and I managed to put them together into some pretty rocking meals. One such meal was for a picnic Caleb (just friend at that point) and I went on the 4th of July to watch the fireworks at Navy Pier. If I remember correctly I made a chicken dish that was in a mushroom wine sauce thing. I think I even wrote down what all I did for that one too... no idea where it is though! Moving over to the fireworks I guess. They were okay. It was 15 mins of what was said to be matched with music. I am soooo spoiled by the Detroit fireworks! It was a nice evening though.
Lets see what was next. Alright, I guess we'll move into the boy department because some of you have been bugging me about that. So (of what I recall, I'm so bad) Caleb and I decided to officially start dating just after the fireworks. Our first date was to go see Beauty and the Beast the musical. It was not so great, the musical, not the date. Second impromptu date, was to see Peter Pan in the big tent the next day. He managed to score free tickets from a friend! It was awesome! Blah blah blah, we hung out some, blah blah blah. Ummmm (I'm going to regret this later I'm sure), I think we dubbed each other boyfriends the night we saw Harry Potter Part 2. If I remember right then, our "anniversary" is the day the final HP movie came out. At least there's an easy reference if I need one! Okay, that's enough about that! ^_^
What else, what else... oh right that whole job thing! So I have my own office! I think it's bigger than my room back home. My building is located in the Loop. It's a block east from Michigan Ave across from the Art Institute. There is actually a great little spot I found next to the Institute to sit down and have lunch. There are a bunch of spots to sit down and a nice fountain that drains out the noise of the city pretty well. Things have been going a little slow work wise. Granted, it's a brand new position and everyone is still trying to get used to me existing and figuring what my uses really will be. My boss assures me that once the quarter starts (which DePaul has 7 quarters... yeah) I'm going to be swamped!
Hmmm, what else was in July. Last week Caleb and I went and saw West Side Story. It was good. Some parts were hard to hear and they made some of my favorite songs be in Spanish... not a fan of it. Other than that I think that covers July... Hopefully I'll be a better blogger in August!

I bout died!
So I was catching up on my friend Jamiil's blog today at work (yes I look at other people's blogs rather than updating mine b/c I fail at blog-life). While on there I ran across the picture with the follow caption:
"I think my sink is clogged."
I... BOUT... DIED! I saw this, paused for about half a second, and BUSTED out laughing in my office. Shortly after I had the pleasure of showing my coworkers that walked into my office to investigate the mass hysteria. I therefore felt I had to share with my many (hahaha) adoring fans!
... So, there you goes!
