goodbye glass house.
My time at Lookingglass has come to an end. Some highlights from my last days on the other side.
My friend who got cold.
The view from the archive room.
The view from the conference room.
How I do.
95th Floor
Sears
Empty restaurants have become pretty to me.
That time I saw UFO's descend upon Chicago.

I love Sutcliffe Pharmacy. If I ever followed through on reviewing places on Yelp, I would rave because:
1. The pharmacists are so nice and overly-concerned & attentive, as is only good and right.
2. They also have a great, Cracker Barrel-style selection of candy.
3. Most importantly, S'MORES IN A BOX. A dream I didn't realize I had.

C'est moi?
Modality: MutableVirgo's symbol is the virgin, and is often considered a shy, "lady in waiting" personality that is a little naive. Though Virgos are seldom celibate, they often keep their personal identity intact throughout their lives. This composure is virginal in nature.Virgo's symbol is sometimes shown as a woman carrying a sheaf of wisdom, representing the harvesting of wheat at the time of year of the Virgo (late summer).

if i am dead or missing
I wanted some Law & Order-style crime drama, but it ended up being the profiles of sisters from an abusive family whose choice in men continued the cycle of abuse. I learned about that lesson from Oprah a long time ago. The lady can write though, her story just wasn't all that interesting.

fall movie line-up
Not that I ever actually go to the movies, but if I did:
INSANITY
I stopped watching when he hit a nerve.
The Crush + Center Stage + Virgin Suicides = A+
This seems like a birthday present to me from the universe. I love owls, I love IMAX, and I love 3-D. Plus, Emilie de Ravin is in it & I like to support Lost alumni.

mellow yellow
I sold this bike:
It was the first big-purchase I ever made, seeing as I spent the entirety of my sixth-grade graduation money on this bike. It was a huge disappointment though, because the bike I ordered was Army Green and this one was Fire Engine Red. I was too excited to wait for the right one to be shipped in, so I said ok to red. That was a decision I regretted for the next decade or so. It was a good bike for Delaware, the Valley, etc., and the places I used to ride with my dad while he ran.
During the period in York where I was bored/crafty and bored/painted-everything-yellow, I made over this bike:
(I forgot to take a before picture)
My family vacationed most summers at Ocean City, NJ, and those vacations always included early-morning bike-rides on the boardwalk. One year, my mom really fell in love with the boardwalk biking and my dad bought her this bike so she could ride all year long. She didn't really ride that much, so let me make it over from blue to banana while in York. It is a better bike for city-riding than my old mountain bike. I broke it in yesterday riding to Staples, and today riding to T-Mobile/all along the Lake.
The other bike will always have better memories,
but this one is so much prettier.
Biking in Chicago is a new kind of stressful,
but someone always hammered into my head to look both ways.

roof wars
Holly Oak: Wilmington, DE
Holly Oak will always be my favorite roof because the millions of perfect hours spent there would be really hard to outshine.
Washington House: Newark, DE
The fact that my mom's condo in Newark had such a nice roofdeck (or 4) was a really nice surprise.
Nice tomato plants.
The second mermaid chair I have encountered.
The Markle Residence: New York City
My roof in New York was one that I heavily occupied. One of my favorite things about that roof was that I never had to share it with anyone. It was usually just me, my bag of crap, and a phone. I made so many phone calls to so many people...my sick dad, phone interviews, my oldest & newest friends. The best thing was the view. To describe the greatness of that view would be like trying to take a picture of lightning. That roof had three stories that you had to climb terrifying ladders to scale, but that was a baby price for getting to hold on to that view for a minute.
Oh hello, so very sub-par cell phone pic.
West Sheridan: Chicago
This Chicago roof has a lot of other people on it all the time, which is not awesome. But it does have a great view, in a completely different way than New York. To the left, you can see the Lake & to the right, you can see the Cubs stadium.
First impression.
Right-on baseball face.
Pretty sun.
