Well, first is first, a couple friends of the house came up from Baltimore and Richmond - Jane, Elise, and Gabe. I have only hung out with Jane a couple of times, but she's badass, so it was nice to see her. Elise (also badass) and I met when I went to VCU and have known her for a couple of years now, I think. Gabe was a new one; he turned out to be a pretty cool guy. They came up to see the Thom Yorke show...well, it was his "supergroup" Atoms for Peace. It includes Thom Yorke, Flea, Nigel Godrich (Radiohead producer), Joey Waronker (who has apparently has played with Beck, the Smashing Pumpkins, and R.E.M.), and Mauro Refosco. Since I am poor, I didn't go. Anyway, it was nice seeing some pals from home.
Bigger news - a job. I finally landed a job through a temp agency in the Loop. I work for J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. doing data entry stuff. It's pretty intense, I had to get fingerprinted and an F.B.I. background check, I think. It's not super interesting, and I am not allowed to disclose what I do, which I find kind of weird.
In between these things, I have planted a few herbs. I planted Genovese Basil, Rosemary, and Fernleaf Dill. The Basil has already sprouted a few baby plants, in a week or so I need to thin them out. The Rosemary is sprouting very slightly. I haven't seen any tiny Dill plants yet though. Soon I will be planting Kale and some other stuff. It honestly might be slightly late in the game, but oh well. I have also been riding the rollers fairly often. Well, I rode three times last week, and this week since I have been working at about 7 A.M. I only just got to ride today. Anyway, that's pretty much what I have been doing, nothing really all that exciting.
