Things have been hectic the past few months. I made little notes about things that happened to blog about, but I just keep twittering them instead of writing a whole post. So, instead of writing about a weekend or event or occurrence, I shall instead hit you with a number of random things I didn’t twitter about, was planning on blogging on, but instead fell by the wayside.

• Was sitting in line for a Star Wars panel at the Chicago Comic-con (aw, hell yeah for my geekiness!) It would be a while before they let us into the room. I pull out “A Feast For Crows” and start reading. Girl next to me goes, “I love that series!” I agreed wholeheartedly. “I actually just got this,” and she pulls out “The Hedge Knight” graphic novel. :O It was awesome. Yay for finding another ASoIAF fan… who also likes comics! Who also likes Star Wars!!! We then proceeded to make out furiously.
• During Lollapalooza, my cousin/roommate worked with Venuszine to interview some of the artists. Her and some friends did the video editing in the apartment, so it was really cool to see the process and effort put into the videos. I loved seeing the creativity and passion they were putting into something that other people will view and watch. Check out the videos here.
• Decided to go out to Wrigleyville on a whim. On the red line up to it, a guy approached this girl sitting in front of me and asks to see her tattoo. You could see a part of it exposed on the bottom of her back. She stands up, her friends giggling, and shifts her top to expose all of her back. The guy and his friends all exclaim, “DAAAAAAAAMN.” This is literally right in front of me, so I couldn’t help but smile. She had a floral type vine growing up her back. It was pretty cool.
• Girl approached me at the bar and asked me to watch her bag and her sister while she and their dad go out for a smoke. I struck up conversation with the girl, who is a triple major in sports management, French, and something-something. I can’t remember… I do remember that I asked her if she was a Cubs or Sox fan; I said I was neither but rather an Orioles fan at the best of times. She admitted that that’s the team she wants to work for—apparently it’s easiest to get your managing career started there. The sister who went out to smoke turned out to be the singer from the band that had just performed that night. I said something way embarrassing which I will not divulge here.
• Dan and I were walking back to the El from a bar (for Redskins fans!) and I was wearing my Redskins jersey. I kind of felt awkward wearing it all day in Chicago, but on the way to the station, a cute girl passed us by and gave me a thumbs up, saying “Go, Redskins!” I’m very glad to see there’s a good number of Skins fans out here.
• Went to a BBQ with some friends. We were harassed by bees. We had a can of spray butter, which we used to spray the bees, making their wings heavy. They would fall the ground, paralyzed. We’d then pull out the lighter and BURN THEM. OK, not so we, but two of my friends. It was kind of cruel, but damn I hate bees!

That’s all I can post on right now. Hopefully this’ll get me back into posting regularly again…
