Where Am I?

What is this strange and magical land with its green borders, witty textual phrases and crisp aroma of impending Pulitzers?

Oh, right, it's my blog. I haven't been here in a while so I kind of forgot what it looks like.

So obviously I've been kind of MIA lately. I just had to take a break. A few pop culture/food/media/Chicago things had flashed into my radar, pulsating every so lightly with mild interest. I have been trying recipes (107 down!), listening to new music and reading great books , but I just couldn't commit any of it to the page/monitor.

Blame the bazillion degree weather or the Food Network. Both would be slightly accurate. Really, I just didn't feel like it. Sometimes you just have to take a break from writing; you have to get off cruise control, pull over and just be a tourist in your own strange little life. Luckily, batteries have recharged and I will getting back on the road soon. Stay tuned.
