Living.
I've been in Chicago for a little over a week and have finally gotten the internet in my house and my bicycle. I've been more or less a shut in this last week partially because all of my friends are either busy, sick, stressed out, in love, or some dreadful combination and partially from my lack of internet access and being not able to find out cool goings on (and how to get there). The result of this is that I've been doing a lot of drawing and sketching out ideas for new projects (look forward to accounts of edible emotions, ghost cities populated by spies and transvestites and transvestite spies, and an assinatrix sleeper cell consisting of Little Debbie and the Morton Salt Girl). I've also been watching endless Twilight Zone episodes with Lily (and drinking a fair amount of wine).
My room and apartment are nice. My room is modern and catches the afternoon/evening sun really well. Our living room is a bit cluttered with boxes but our salon/screening room is pretty brilliant and once we get a couch should be perfect. The apartment is located in Humbolt Park, the buildings on either side of us are filled with families and a few blocks away is a decent bar and a cafe. Apart from this, it is relatively isolated (which is fine) and the arrival of my bike has opened things up considerably for me (I'm about a 45 minute walk from any super market and the buses are unreliable, but it's only a 5 minute bike ride).
I'll post my new contact information later this week in a filtered post (or series of e-mails).
Best,
Tess
