IBM Building & Trump International Hotel and Tower, River North, Chicago

A couple years ago I used to walk past the Sun-Times building every day on my commute to and from work. Then it was demolished and construction on the Trump Tower began. I have many photos and updates on my site, but when I got laid off from that job a couple years ago, my regular updates ended.

Recently I’ve started going to the gym 3 times per week. On the way home my walk to the train follows much of the same path I used to take on my old commute. One night I stopped to admire the Trump Tower as it stands now. When the Trump construction site was just a hole in the ground, I’d turn and look up at the IBM Building, and I could not imagine that the Trump Tower could be as tall as it, let alone taller.

I press refresh so obsessively on the FedEx tracking page that I knew the second that my new laptop was delivered. I ran up to reception and was like “where’s my shit!?” and the receptionist was like “whuh? I don’t have anything for you” and I’m all like “oh .. really?? then what’s this box!?”

Have the new iBook here plugged in at work. Everyone in the cubes around me was teasing me that I was being like a little kid on Christmas morning. .. which I was. I recently just got a new laptop at work too because my Dell laptop decided not to recognize the hard drive any more. They replaced it with this black IBM. It’s pretty nice…. for a PC.

Can’t wait to get home and start transferring data and customizing and everything. I don’t really need to get any work done today… do I? .. come on!!! I’m kind of dreading finding old CDs with my software on them, though.

Btw, Shanghai, China to Chicago, IL in 3 days.. no too shabby.
