Chili Cheaters

[aodha]

I attended a Chili Cook-Off this weekend and was robbed of first place. Ahhh well, I know in my heart that I won. I actually tied for first, but had I voted for myself I would've clearly won and would have received the coveted red and white striped toe socks. Such is life. It was a pretty good weekend. Experimenting with my recipe was fun, I've been all about the cooking of late for some unknown reason. The White Sox continue to amaze and astound me, don't know what's going on there, but for the sake of South Side pride and the annoyance of Cubs fans every where I hope they win. I'm really looking forward to NaNoWriMo this year. I'm much more organized and motivated, and it's actually been hard to not write yet. Hopefully I can keep that spirit going through the whole month. I really want to start being more serious about photography and need to get motivated to that end. My camera is ticking me off, I'm tempted to just chuck the digital for awhile.

The trip to Manhattan was outstanding. I only have shitty camera phone pictures unfortunately. I'll post the one good one I have later.
