hey everyone.  i’ve got a few pictures of illinois from when i went downtown to cheesecake factory.  basically my sister hasn’t seen her friends mimi or monica in a long time, so they decided to meet in chicago as there are more things to do there.  i asked to be dragged along, and it’s a good thing i did, because we ended up going to target where i bought some new incredibly cheap headphones to replace the incredibly cheap headphones that broke recently.

here’s the chicago skyline from the target parking lot.

we then went over to the cheesecake factory under the hancock building, where we had to avoid falling ice and incredible crowds.  i saw lots of abercrombie clothes.  i saw some hollister clothing, which seem to be carbon copies, or at least in the same spirit (of paying lots of money for no reason).  the day you show me an abercrombie boy/girl who’s not a self-centered dick/airhead is the day i eat my words.  literally.

here’s the pretty looking hancock tree:

and that’s pretty much it.  here are my dad and sister sitting in our kitchen.

sorry about all the lighting issues.  i think i’m good at centering objects of focus, but bad at dealing with lighting.

anyway, next time i’ll post pictures of my office’s christmas party and the guy from i love new york 2, cheezy, who i happened to work with.
