good

sat came to town and found an apartment and a job. and i am very proud of him for that. mainly because it took me forever to find a job. some say i still dont have a real one. but that kid has his head in the right place and i am very very proud of him.

i did my best to entertain him but friday became crankypants #1 and canceled any plans i made. we ended up hanging with crescent and co for a bit, and then meeting friends in wicker park for a party. which was weird. but highly amusing as well.

the weekend was really entertaining and full of booziness, but also a bit enlightening. i'm working hard to better myself in a lot of ways, recently... and i am starting to see the outcome of such. not just physically (really, barely physically). i'm actually sort of happy. for now! so, hey way to go me. and way to go friends for bringing me up, rather than down. its about time.

saturday i went to a party. and drank a lot. and played rock band. and, yes, sort of had the most fun ive had in a while. which is odd, considering. theres a lot of silly backstory to this but it doesnt matter, the photo accompanying this entry makes me laugh a lot.

BOOOOOO

i dont blog anymore because i am annoyed at the weather. no, infuriated. i mean, its silly to get so pent up with something you have no control over, but this chicago winter has been the worst i have ever lived through... and that i can recall.

its constantly snowing. constantly! and i know you are saying to yourself, but gena you love snow! i do! but not ALL THE FUCKING TIME. and not so much snow that it makes just the 10 foot walk to the el dangerous and impossible. and, when it isnt snowing, its thirty degrees below zero. or some shit like that. so cold! my body is freaking out from vitamin d deficiency and my plants are all dead. no sunlight, no happiness.

saturday it reached 40 degrees and i wore a skirt i was so ecstatic. by the time david and i finished our AWESOME (at kuma's) lunch, it was snowing. FUCK. YOU. WINTER.

NOM NOM NOM

on saturday, by some random chance, we ended up at a korean bbq.

now, i've been pretty much obsessed with korean bbq, as a theory, for the last three months but have never been. because it was impossible to get a group together or, actually, anyone together to go. "no i swear itll be awesome!" i'd say. "oh, youve been?" a friend would ask, "...no" i say dejected and then storm off. though this usually happens in email or gchat and you cant really storm off on the internet. but i sure as hell try.

so, anyway. this was the greatest meal i think i have ever had. it was so much fun, and plentiful, and delicious. i didnt know what most of the things i was eating were, but i didn't care. i want it more and more and more and more. right now, in fact.

hey, you guys. lets go!
