About Me

I know this has been said before - but now I know why they call Chicago the "Windy City." (Okay, so it's not Ann Arbor.) I am a "crackberry."If you haven't read "The Kite Runner," pick it up - It's a great book! The word "word" is cool. Word. My new favorite purchase is the "Sex and the City" box set. So UofM lost to OSU :( They are still damn good! I'm back to studying for the GMAT, so if you have any recommendations, let me know. I could eat Hazelnut gelato everyday - even in the Winter. And I've discovered the best Hazelnut gelato in Chicago which is right next to work! All is now good in the world.

My Interests

Traveling (especially international), running (along the Lakefront when it's not subzero outside), sushi, reading, good music, Kinder Bueno bars, dim sum, bubble tea, margaritas with Patron, Propel w/ Calcium, Marge's hot fudge sundaes, and of course rice.

The movie "Apocalypto"...

is as bloody, violent, gory as the critics say. If you think Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" was violent, this definitely tops it! I had nightmare's after watching this one. But, I do think it wa...

Ode to Bus .60 Blue Island

If you live in Chicago or the Midwest for that matter, you're waking up to a wintery mess! I'd like to give a shout out to Bus #60 for allowing me to be in the windy, wet, cold, snowy mix for a t...
