wow. i have been a bad, bad blogger lately (though tommy's been a mad blogging machine lately, hasn't he?) i have my excuses though: parents and little sister in town for the past few days; work; and, uh, more work. i think as the quarter gets into a better rhythm, i'll have more of the delicious blogging time. that said, here's a few thoughts, bullet-style:
the great bathing suit terror of '06 is finally over: i have made a purchase! (in the oddly-named shade of black tulip.) you are all relieved, i know.
the shoreline sightseeing one-hour architecture river tour can now be highly recommended by someone with impeccable taste, ie, me. it's a bit costly at $25, but quite worth it. i've somehow managed to not fully realize up until yesterday on the tour how absolutely gorgeous chicago is. my parents and sister were smitten with the buildings.
also recommended: the stained glass museum down at navy pier. i took about one billion pictures of the beautiful windows, but my camera battery is le dead, so i'll have to upload them later.
best moderately-priced italian food i've had in chicago thus far came at angelina on broadway and addison (thanks to peter for the tip). it also helped that my parents paid. hooray, parents.
speaking of italian, the post had a nice article on the town of bolzano near the italo-austrain border. i swear to god, this robert camuto dude is copping my style. first he writes on my dear matera, then puglia, then bolzano. i've been to bolzano twice, and you can see some photos here.
i'm going to be all bloggy in the next few weeks. i have a lunch with the lovely sarah b. coming up, then an unfogged meatup. and, of course, the original blogger-friend will be coming for a visit. april is looking exciting!

Oh, I forgot to comment on your last bathing suit post...I was going to recommend the j crew bathing suits. Yeah, j crew is kind of annoying but their selection is fantastic and the suits are well-made (I like these bottoms a lot.)
oh man, those bottoms are cute. i may just have to buy a second bathing suit for this summer. i suppose i am willing to make that sacrifice.
you should totally find someone with car and take your swimsuit to indiana dunes. it is faboo during the summer.
