Vertigo

It was the end. Maybe not the very end, but 'an' end.

Adventure, The bean, Life

Every city has their ups and downs. The longer you visit, the more downs you start to notice.

You can take the expat out of Japan....

Starting my first *vacation* in god knows how long with a hangover and a compliment on my shoes.

tokyo

It's so fascinating reading what others have written about Tokyo on this platform. It's been 6 years since I left and I've been having random flashbacks ever since.

I wonder if she realises the advantage of only having to pack single shoes.

Anxiety has three states: solid, liquid, and ethereal. It never quite goes away, but merely changes form.

Art, Chicago, Today's Sunrise

Good morning Chicago!!!I never tire of the fascinating morning watercolor creation.

A great journey that everyone makes is existence.We are made of star stuff they say. Truly remarkable of the diversity on this small place we call home.

Night light. There's something about being up when the rest of the city is asleep. The silence. The freedom.

Life, Prose, Mixed feelings

When you're sick food taste bland. It's unfortunate because food should lift your spirit and be your comfort when you're feeling low.

Winter, Snow

Winter's last hurrah.

Rain

The sound of rain at night

Since I can't be in Paris right now I'm bringing Paris to me.

City Self.

nature, Landscape

There are the Chicago beaches you see in B-Roll footage of Lake Shore Drive, and there are neighborhood beaches.Those shots of the overcrowded scenes at Oak Street and North Ave Beach, densely nestled at the north end of Michigan Avenue, are perfectly fine. But they are a small slice of the grander beachfront along Lake Michigan. "The Lake front by right belongs to the people," declared the Plan of Chicago.

Blue sky

Prose, Travel

Towards where are these figures marching, without arms, without heads, without souls to inhabit them?

Prose, Travel

If you were with me, we would've been the only two souls in the park. Instead I was alone, with the waves and the lighthouses nearby on the lake and the broken clouds above.

Green Room last night at the Castle Theater. Perfect bachelor pad.

After living more than two months in this beautiful city, I finally went for a run in my neighborhood.

"There's really something about the way the sun hits the buildings here, don't you think?"

The big sleep

Chicago, Lake Michigan

Pratt Beach has such a wonderful atmosphere. This past Sunday, the lake was still and serene, with no wind.

Drinks, Travel, america

Back in America, where a martini isn't a big glass of vermouth, and the glassware isn't glass.

Chicago, Weather

Weird weather all day in Chicago. Sometimes it results in rainbows, like the Radiohead album. (Yeah, I went there.) Enjoy.
