city gurl loves her sundays

the warmth is here for as many weeks as we can wrangle it and Agent99 is out in the elements. weekend = uninterrupted hours outdoors from here on out. when all is right with the breezes and wheezes, i can still love chicago. kicked off the free time with sushi on thursday @ blue fin with the lovely and talented, sam shaber. she was breezing through town on the way to gigs in colorado ultimately, and stopping in many a midwest town in between. really enjoying getting to know her and am certain she's going to do really well with our bookings this year. had a great american smokeout on friday with Namaste in her pimped out crib. we're in that telling the stories of our lives part of our budding relationship right now, so there was stories aplenty to spill while we rotated from balcony to porch to kitchen throughout the evening. even as a gemini/cancer cusp child, we are eerily similar in our fanatic ways. we a funny pair already. charged through multiple loads of laundry on saturday and then had smokey time with Woonsocket before our mishap attempt to take WeeBeastie to the beach. right after she arrived at my place, the sky exploded thus rendering WeeBeastie a soaky dirty dog within a few steps from our place toward my auto. when i asked for Woonsocket's opin on whether the canine would destroy the interior with funky paws, she shrugged and said, "hey, your car, your dog, your call.' i made the call to leave that nappy hound at the crib. we then went on a search for sushi that put us at the chicago chocolate company on randolph having covered strawberries on their patio while waiting for the sushi joints to open for dinner. we sat outside at izumi and had a great roll new to me: a hawaiian with mango infused unagi. it was all sunshine and smiles during our meal, so the day turned out well and we got some good strolling in around the warehouse district instead of the sand. raced home to get ready for the debut of two of Wry's plays that he won top honors for at this year's vitality playwriting festival @ speaking ring theatre. i remain convinced that he would thrive in this city -- and my hunches are thus far proven correct as he was telling me of the contacts and promises for future work he received from these peeps. hope this is the beginning of more visits from him. i really love seeing my peeps achieve their dreams. and that leads us to today, my very fave day of the week. slept in heavily then took the Mole to City Coffee for his daily grind. walked WeeBeastie around the northside lake area, then drove down to a new southside beachfront and ran her shanks. shot some "dog takes on skyline" photography with a new roll of color film (my first in two years). back home for porch patrol then shopping @ the angrytown victoria's secret and the whole paycheck. an absolutely perfect day.

now, if you'll excuse me, it's almost sun-up and i need to mah out and create a collage of hair products in my universe for my shampoo focus group tomorrow.
