Just Throw a Brick

Well friends, here we are, over two weeks later again. I'm really losing steam with this blogging thing. Chicago's been in a heat wave recently, so I spent all of yesterday sitting in front of our window AC and cursing the heat/humidity. It's awful. I am counting the days until Christmas. But then again, that's nothing new. Happy -Remember how in the last post we went to a Sox game? Well, C filled out the survey they sent after, and they gave us some free tickets! Sadly, they're the same night of the Opening Ceremonies in Rio. We'll have to watch them afterwards, I guess. But our game will have fireworks, so that will be fun. -C is an official intern for City of Chicago! Well, he will be as soon as his fingerprint and background check come back clean. We spent a few hours at the outlet mall last week getting him some more nice collared shirts and ties for him to wear. He'll be working on some really cool projects, with real-world data! This will be a gre

Well, as promised, we attended a White Sox game on the 4th of July at Cellular Field. We didn't take as many pictures this time, but it was still fun. Baseball in person is MUCH better than baseball on TV.

It makes me feel like I have more of a purpose during the game, as opposed to sitting and doing nothing. Plus, you can use the margins for doodling! At least, I do. Happy Things: 1. Usually it's just me and C at games. This time, we had C's friend K with us, which was fun. He bought bacon on a stick and let us try some. It was great! I also got popcorn (obviously.) 2. The people selling stuff in the stands sell a bigger variety of stuff than they do at Wrigley. The only thing you can get in the stands at Wrigley are hot dogs and beer, but at the Cell you can get popcorn, co

Anyone else just having a bleh day today? I think mine stems from the fact that the Fourth is coming up, and that's usually such a fun holiday in Utah. I miss living so close to the Stadium of Fire (although with Tim McGraw headlining this year, I'm not as sad. Haha. My hatred for country music is still strong as ever!) Oh, you want to know what I'm jamming to now, you ask? Well, it has been awhile since a music post... What K is Listening To Now First off, these all come straight off my Spotify "You Can Do It!!!" playlist. I play it whenever I'm driving to work, because I need a ton of motivation to walk into work sometimes. 1. Left Hand Free, alt+J Well, my left hand's free... I just want to say, first off, that I totally knew this song/loved this song/listened to this song WAY before Civil War came out. #hipster First it hit my Pandora, then it hit a Suits episode. Ah. Suits. Coming back soon! 2. Lean On, Major Lazer  Blow a ki
