So I've found that there is actually a blogger app that I can download on my phone that actually works! I'm going to start doing posts from here until I manage to save enough money for a computer.
I'm actually moving into my new apartment here in Chicago in a little over two weeks, which is pretty exciting considering I won't be completely broke all the time.
So when I stopped posting here in early 2011, I was still living in Maryland. In July of that same year I visited San Diego for the first time and realized that the food scene at home wasn't going to cut it if I really wanted to get as far as I possibly could in my career. I moved to California May of the following year.
Two months before, however, I took a trip in March '12 to Chicago alone to meet up with my friend Killer B. We met working together at a place in Baltimore, but 6 months later she returned to Illinois where she was from to finish school.
I was blown away by the city. I had been to New York several times, but there was something different about this place. It seemed cool without being annoyingly so. I like to imagine I'm the same way, but I'm not so sure (yet some people still feel I should dial it back with my outfits, example above).
I spent the summer in Cali, sold my car, and moved here almost one year ago. My rent was crazy expensive, but it was a really nice apartment. Stone floors, 50" tv, 13' ceilings... $1060 a month ._. I cannot afford that. Moving from a place where I paid nothing to live there, and having this be the amount coming out of my bi weekly pay was a huge shock. But, I signed the lease so I had to pay for 12 months.
I honestly would've brought this site back sooner, but I've pretty much been eating spaghetti-o's and cereal for a year. Not to say that I haven't had a lot of fun and eaten some really great stuff here, it's just that most of those things were at work or work related, so I couldn't really say too much about them anyway.
So here we are. One year later. One more to go, then it's off to someplace else. This is no longer just a food blog, I'm changing the theme again. Haven't quite figured out what that new theme is yet. I'll get back to you on that.
Incoherent rushed before work post over! Disperse!
