Since I dont have the Cubs to depress me anymore, I now have the 10 o’clock news. Which is actually more depressing. But whatever. At least I know the news now “shooting on the South Side”…”economy in turmoil”…yadda, yadda, yadda…let the distraction commence!
I am loving Fringe lately–although it does require my undivided attention which seems to be lacking lately–It’s been on my DVR for three weeks now, and I just sat down to watch one episode and ended up watching all 3 of them. Just love everything about it. The complicated storylines that always seem to be answered by the end of the show, but not without a tease for the next show…the digital location title pop-outs (I am a typography-geek at heart)…Josh Jackson and Anna Torv….I just love it all. Good thing too…they just renewed it for another season. Thank goodness–I hate watching new shows that ultimately get cancelled (see Raines, October Road, Women’s Murder Club…etc.)
I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t even had time to blog. Part of me thinks that’s good. Part of me thinks it’s because I need a laptop to tote around (anyone want to buy me a MacBook Pro?), but another part of me thinks signing up for park district classes three times a week was a little overkill for this non-committer. But whatever.
In the past few weeks, I ‘ve seen Seal and BB King perform live. I’ve found out my dog might have a thyroid problem (enter Oprah joke here), and I’ve discovered that my wardrobe is not ready for the change in season. A series I work on at work has been nominated for a Chicagoland emmy, which means the red carpet is Saturday, so go me. And I am kinda hating on my apartment and neighborhood right now, but I don’t really have any reason too (although, maybe I do–see below). When I am super busy, I always complain that I have no downtime, and am constantly raccoon-eyed. When I have nothing to do, I can’t sit still and am constantly complaining that I should be doing something…and am raccoon-eyed. Is there no justice in this yin-yang universe?
So I always check this website out that chronicles the happenings around where I live. So here is a post I came across yesterday:
Breaking News: Decomposing Body Found In Uptown Sewer
I’m sorry, WHAT!?!??! Where the hell do I live!? The article in the Sun Times is sketchy, as is the actual case. Dead bodies keep showing up in my neighborhood, and it’s freaking me out. And the sick thing is, I have yoga in that park district building. Ick. I’m like on that CSI show where they find dead bodies in the sewer which was really a mob hit covered up by the fact that it was at a newly renovated kid’s park where the mobster’s daughters play. Ick. Ick. Ick. Me no likey. I need to move. Damn economy!
That’s all for this distraction. Until the next one, have a good night!
