I got bored while watching the Grammys tonight and made myself a portfolio website for my writing. Check it out if you’re interested/bored/a potential employer that wants to pay me to write things for you.
Watching the Grammys
Rob: What's the name of that Miley Cyrus song?
Me: Party in the USA?
Rob: Yeah...I will admit that song is sort of catchy.
Me: WHAAAAAAAAT THE FUCK!??! HAHAHHAAHH

The Bagel

The Bagel - Restaurant & Deli 3107 N Broadway St., Chicago, IL Neighborhood: Lakeview
The Bagel.
Although The Bagel has been located on Broadway Street in the Lakeview neighborhood since 1992 (with another location in Skokie), Rob and I had never heard of it until recently. For shame, really, because this authentic Jewish deli and restaurant is quite good and...

I guess now I can say I’ve been (sort of) published in the Village Voice. An adolescent dream come true.

Really. Everything. You don’t have any, you know, favorites…. no? You just listen to “whatever’s on the radio”? Oh my God. How about Owl City? You like that one song by them, huh? How about Ke$ha? You think she’s catchy? How about the yowls of a domestic tabby being raped by a Scottish wildcat? Get the hell out of here. I bet you have 300 bands on your iPod and...

Superdawg Drive-In 63633 N Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, IL Neighborhood: Norwood Park
Superdawg Drive-In.
When it comes to eating hot dogs, Anna and I have a strong allegiance to the ever popular Hot Doug’s; but today we ventured north to Norwood Park to check out Superdawg. This Chicago establishment is family owned and operated and has been in business since 1948, making...

Birrieria Zaragoza

Birrieria Zaragoza 4852 S Pulaski Rd., Chicago, IL Neighborhood: Archer Heights
Birrieria Zaragoza.
For the unaware, “Birria” is a Mexican goat stew and it also happens to be the only item on the menu at Birrieria Zaragoza, a hidden gem of a restaurant tucked away on the southwest side of Chicago. Recommended to us by some friends of ours, Rob and I knew that although...

Roger Ebert on no longer being able to eat or drink.
This is super poignant. Also, I dare you to get through it without going to the kitchen for a snack. I made a little plate of cheddar cheese and cornichons, because there is nothing else, besides milk and eggs and condiments and scary NYE leftovers, in the fridge. Which is sad, but not in the same way living...

KnockBox Café

KnockBox Café 1001 N California Ave., Chicago, IL Neighborhood: Humboldt Park
KnockBox Café.
It was a blistering cold day in Chicago, so Anna and I decided to head over to the Humboldt Park neighborhood this afternoon to try out KnockBox Café for the first time. KnockBox is a wonderful, eco-friendly, and cozy café that is situated on the corner of California and...
