Comment on Chicago via Instagram (Part I) by Cheri Lucas

My visit to Chicago 6 (or 10?) years ago is hazy. All I remember was the heat and wandering to Wrigley (but not going inside) and then staring at A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatteat the Art Institute for a long time.

I need to return and linger.

Nice images!

I find it fascinating that I can carry an empty water bottle through security, I can carry an empty stomach through security, I can carry a stomach full of water just drunk from my water bottle through security, but I can’t carry a water bottle full of water through security.

Personally, I long for the day when I don’t have to put my liquids in small plastic baggies when going through security. I mean, really?

I can’t even put into words how ecstatic Jason’s work makes me feel. It’s the feeling of kindred spirits who meet for the first time and finish each other’s sentences. He is a modern day Joseph Campbell in a sense, pointing out the remerging patterns of our development and collective consciousness.

When I first bought a MacBook I thought I was free from the yoke of Microsoft. Then I tried to write a story on Pages, save it in .doc format, and open it in Word. The result was less than awesome.

For everything besides actual word processing I could see how Word would be a gigantic pain in the posterior. Do you have any experience with open office?

Each time I’ve allowed myself to get close to a guy acquaintance, one of us developed feelings. All of my guy friends have admitted that they have wanted to sleep with me at one point or another. That doesn’t happen with my female friends. If the thought of sex crosses your mind, it’s not a friendship, it’s something more.
