Growing up with Chicago as one's back yard is a sweet deal in a lot of ways. That skyline. Those hot dogs. All those amazing museums. For me, childhood is marked by weekends at the Museum of Science and Industry. A behemoth to kid-sized me, the building and the endless wonders inside loomed large ...
Chicago List: Neighborhoods
One of the biggest things about Chicago I've had to get used to is how spread out everything is. Manhattan is jam-packed; not an inch of that island goes unused, and there's a train to get you to every corner of it. While I lament the distance between my fantastic apartment and my even more amazing ...
After the free-form, the list
This post, you'll be glad to know, is the the more organized result of some very healthy, very necessary free-form writing I just spent some time on. You see, my move back to Chicago happened so quickly, and so soon after having made it out to NYC, that, while I do not regret the decisions that led ...
Watch This: Amy
She had an intimate relationship with music, like it was a person...she would die for it. In ten or twenty years, my kid siblings may come across Amy, the new documentary that chronicles Amy Winehouse's meteoric rise to fame in the first years of the millennium, and watch it much the way I recently ...
Watch This: Six by Sondheim
I am always watching something. If it's not a film for work it's a series I haven't seen yet. If it's not a new theatrical release, it's a doc I've been meaning to get to. If it's not on Netflix, it's a DVD I snagged from the library. It's always something. I was poking around HBOgo recently (as ...
Bit of a facelift
Took some time today to refresh this space. Not only was it long overdue, but I'm hoping it's the new energy I need to get back to writing more. What do you think? Sitting in my drafts folder are posts to recap my trip to Europe, a few film recommendations I'd like to share, the local exploring I've ...
Reykjavik, part 2
*Editor's Note: I'm writing this several weeks after the trip, life and all kept me from getting this sorted before now. The quickest way to watch a week go by is by having a fantastic one, and by the time our return flight to Reykjavik and the States rolled around, I could hardly believe it was ...
Return to London
*Editor's Note: I'm writing this several weeks after the trip, life and all kept me from getting this sorted before now. By the time we got back to London on Thursday night, it hit me how quickly this trip was flying by. Just a few more days in London before heading back to the states via another ...
Next Stop: Dublin
*Editor's Note: I'm writing this several weeks after the trip, life and all kept me from getting this sorted before now. When this whole trip was still in the planning stages, Libby and I agreed we wanted to fit in as much as we could in the short time we had abroad. So after settling on London as ...
Next Stop: London
*Editor's Note: I'm writing this several weeks after the trip, life and all kept me from getting this sorted before now. After a lovely if whirlwind day in Reykjavik, we got ourselves up before dawn to catch an early flight to London. We'd planned our travel so that we could make the most of our ...
