About Me

Hey there!
I'm Dan Lugo, a twenty-three year-old who is 6'1'', 145 lbs., and barely in shape. I do my own grocery shopping, and I cook. I live in Illinois, a crazy place where driving on the median is not only appropriate, it's encouraged.
I write songs far too often. I've put out two CD's, the latest of which is Defy the Stars. It was the latest step in my musical adventure. Critics have this to say:
"I put it in my CD player and it's like happy rays of sunshine!" - Sloaney of Beth (/bethbathandbeyond)
"Most CD's kind of sound the same all the way through, but yours is different almost every track. It keeps it interesting. I like that a lot." - Joe Mann
"It's my favorite CD!" - my mom
Enough about that. I'm in grad school now. I'll be reading a whole lot, which is good because I'm a closet nerd. The unfortunate part for many friends (and for myself) is that I moved to Chicago. Here is an ode speaking to that lament:

Nov 21 - Snow?

I can't tell if it's snow or not, because it's too dark out, but judging by the tops of the darker cars in the parking lot, there is certainly a light layer of white out there. It could be frost, thou...

Nov 9 - Why stop at bagged cereal?

Today I realized just how good of a deal I get when I buy bagged cereal. Really, you get about twice as much for the same price. Granted, the toasted honey-oat scooters may not be quite as sweet...

Nov 2 - Blog TBA, and, um... something else

After the responses I received, I'm thinking that I don't currently have much readership. That's okay. I do actually (surprisingly) have a blog idea that is, possibly, the only one of its kind, a...

Oct 30 - Who wants to be creative?

Yeah! Two within a week! Sweet. First, I really badly wanted to write an album and release it. Then, I really wanted to write a book (which I don't know what to write about). Right now, I want to hav...

Oct. 27 - The Half-Way House

5 down, 5 to go. Semesters happen real quick around here. Or should I say, quarters. We only have class for 10 weeks. Yeah, ridiculous. Highlights of the last couple of weeks: Last Wednesday Paul and...

New Music. Not Mine.

Hey!!! Last Tuesday I strained something in my leg that made me limp for a few days. It's pretty much okay now, but it kinda hurt to put my leg up on the chair just now. Moving on, I've been enjoying ...

Oct 5 - Catch up

Wow, that time went fast. Okay, so the Cubs lost last night. Mark this as the first sports comment ever in one of my blogs. It was sad. On the flip side, I did try a local wheat beer at Taylor's Brewi...

Sep 24 - Blog about food and call for recipes

Buenos Nachos. Today I was putting on my shoes and realized that my calves had definition that normally wouldn't be there.* Those who don't know me might think that I am increasing in muscle. Those th...

Sep 20 - Stabbing Handward

Yo! Today was a good day. While making a sausage, egg and cheese bagel for breakfast (that's right, I cook), I stabbed my finger with the steak knife. It went right into the meat. Of my finger. It's o...

Sep 14 - Fulfilling Obligation

Hey! Since I am now 1,250 miles away from home (according to Katie's odometer) I feel that I must fulfill an obligation to blog, as if anyone really cares what's been going on. Here's a list of the im...
