Themes From The In Crowd

"La vita vivente sulle prime linee" Living life on the front lines... Musings from a Midwest Girl...

D.U.N.Z.O and DUNZO was it’s name-OH.

The tune of “BINGO” has been in my head all weekend…why, you ask? Because my delightfully pocket-sized roommate has been singing everything to that tune…his name, my name, my little brothers name…anything we come across and subsequently it was sung on “That’s So Raven” (ie the best show on TV) so the song got even more “street cred” and it has been non-stop ever since.

The move is over…finished…finito. Everything is finally in our new apartment and although nothing is really unpacked, our lives can somewhat go back to normal. I am not on the verge of tears and Brett does not have to walk around on eggshells in my presence. No more worrying about Annie our bitchtastic landlord, UHauls, boxes, cleaning, primer, blah blah blah. FINISHED! I would invite you all over but our dining room has been taken over by boxes and our living room is only slightly more presentable. Soon though…soon.

I was very happy Saturday night when, after a long evening of watching nothing but the Disney Channel, B and I were able to hop in our newly decorated shower (not together you freaks), get ready, and scoot on down to Minibar. It is literally at 40 foot walk and there we were…Flirtini in hand…enjoying a nightlife that does not consist of 3 homeless men, the Jewel and Jake’s Chicken Hut….the new neighborhood welcomed us with open arms and we stumbled into those arms and gave it a big alcoholic kiss. There were some delightfully hot men at Minibar and the best part about Minibar is that you never know which way the cookie will crumble. There are quite a few straights in the ol’ M.B…so I am never quite sure if a man is looking at my chest because he actually likes it or because he actually wants it for his own after he gets the “operation”. J Either way the bar is always super fun and on Saturday night I had two of the hottest men (with accents) tell me that I was like a “Spring day” and they just “loved me”. They also loved each other, but I really appreciated their kind words!

On the best note of the night…I got to meet two people I have adored from afar for the longest time.
Byron was at Minibar and Svenny was at Sidetrack. I was so excited to finally lay eyes on these very very good looking and delightfully funny men! It was a night of fantasticness all around!

I really think that our new neighborhood and close proximity to everything good will be excellent for B and I. I need a revamped life. I have had a hard time feeling passionate about anything lately. I need to find something that I love and hold on tight. (finding someone I love would be nice, too). I think that a resurgence in a social life will cause the domino effect that I need. Here’s to another year in Chicago, a great upcoming summer, fun plans, more travel and lots of new friends!

A amare di vita! (to loving life!)
