Tea, not exactly, hot chocolate to be more precise. I met up with my old friend, whose in town for the holidays. It was so nice to see her and catch up.Also, because she is a hat lady like me, I had to show up my latest vintage find. IS THIS HAT NOT AMAZE? I absolutely love it. I saw it at a vintage shop by my house AND HAD TO HAS. I convinced santa to bring it for me for Christmas, and wallah her it is. I know its a little wild, but each day I feel my style getting weirder and weirder. I think I'm channeling my inner Eva Fontanelli, my newest muse.

How was everyone's holiday so far? Get what you wanted? I just wanted to spend it with friends and family, and I think I may have gotten my wish this year.

PS. I got a hair cut, IT NEEDED TO BE DONE. I know its sad to see the curls hit the floor, BUT I FEEL SO SPUNKY with my new hair, can't wait to show you what I've been up too!

we all float on ok

well, the other day the boy and I said goodbye to one of my longest friends from college. She's moving all the way to New Orleans. I still remember the first day I met her @ a wendys talking about how much boys suxxxed, haha,, now we're both in relationships with guys we both really like. Both in interracial relations, as well! I love cultural mixing!

Anyway, the goodbye was short and sweet, we grabbed some drinks at intelligensia, and walked through millenium park. When I started school this year it felt weird that she wasn't there. But I'm happy she found her place. It seems that a lot of my friends are finding our place, which I am happy about. We can't all stay side by side forever. I'm just counting down the days till I'm back in NYC. Seriously....chicago is LAME in comparison. :'(

too much light makes the baby go blind

before i left for europe earlier this month I went to go see TMLMTBGB with my friends in Andersonville. It was my first time seeing this chicago classic show and it was throughly enjoyed. Most of my chums have seen this show before but as for me, dave, and another friend it was our first time.

The show consists of 30 plays that are 2mins each. They hang the plays up on a clothes line and you shout a number and whichever they hear first they jump up and pull one down. The goal is to see all 30 plays in 60 mins, but I think we all about 20. Most of the where pretty good, some where interactive (two of my friends got pulled in) and others fell flat. But you can't expect to have 30 perfect 2 minuet plays--can you? Regardless it was a delightful theatre experience, and I would definitely see them again (they change material every month, i believe)

It was also sweet seeing my friends before I left for europe, whom i had for 6 years now (which is a miracle by anyone's standards...) Despite that they are all male + girlfriends, I'm just happy to have people I trust versus looking for that perfect female friend. But I digress, I need to get back to work. I'm working from home today because I just need one more day before I head back to office life!
