Moving day was today. It’s interesting being in a different apartment, different set-up, different neighborhood. My room is smaller but feels bigger. I can’t explain it. I do have to say…I have a lot more stuff I have to get rid of, but I need to work on that when I actually have time.

My “productive” blog entry for today is a blog recommendation. For those who don’t know me that well, I am very interested in architecture (and in fact, planned to go to architecture school through most of my high school career). I wish I knew more about architecture because right now I see things and think to myself, “that’s cool. That’s ugly. That has some nice lines.” I really would like to learn more about technical terms and be able to actually know what I’m talking about (which reminds me, if you’re in Chicago anytime soon let me know and we’ll go on the Shoreline Architecture tour— very informative!).

Anyway, the blog Bright Lights Dim Beauty of Chicago is one of my favorite Chicago blogs. I like the Chicago treasures highlighted on this blog and the personal stories that the writer ties into the entries about her discoveries. The most recent entry (Sept. 21) shows one of the coolest houses I have ever seen. If DiDi doesn’t find a way to purchase this house, I will!
