its 90 degrees out
i’m enjoying a cold cup of tea while people watching from my apartment in downtown chicago. i bought this cheap allegro tea from whole foods last week for only about $4, and i’m just now trying it for the first time. its a light, floral tea, and yes, i do have classy mason jar cups. i’m also enjoying my extensive decemberists playlist on itunes.

currently i am reading my little war by flemish author louis paul boon. its one of...

footloose
here’s my new shoes from nordstroms. they might be returned very shortly because after walking from cody’s apartment to the train station, my feet were bleeding (and no, i’m not exaggerating, my feet literally bled). maybe they just take a while to break in. or maybe they’re no good. either way, they’re nice to look at.
