Get Up On It!

Haven't had a good Get Up On It post in awhile, so here goes:
Get Up On:

1. Potbelly’s chocolate chip cookies. Along with cheeseburgers and reality television, I am a conossieur of chocolate chip cookies. And these are delicious. Not just kind of good, but really good. The best besides homemade any day. Even most homemade.

2. My Chicagoist post today. You kind of have to read the comments from my first Printers Row Book Fair post, but my post today is sarcastic in about 80 different ways, and I love it. I even got kudos from my editor dude.

3. Black Cherry Citrus Fresca. It is refreshing and delicious and no calories.

4. Soduku. I know I’m a few years late, but seriously, this thing is killing me!

5. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. Best book I’ve read in awhile. I ate it. Which means I loved it.

6. Getting your bike fixed for summer. Riding your bike makes you feel like you’re 10, and its great exercise. Get up on bikes.

7. El Tapatio’s lemonade. The food is good, ambiance is nice if not too busy, but their lemonade is like nectar from the Gods. It’s delish.

8. Lincoln Square/Ravenswood. Since our landlord is getting married (eventually) we’re gonna have to move out. Although I love our apartment, I’m looking forward to moving back “home” to Ravenswood. Quiet, pretty, cheaper, lovely.

9. Proof. The movie with Gwyneth. I’m sure I would love the play more, but I saw the movie first and really enjoyed it. Fascinating stuff.

10. Heath Ledger. Just cause it’d be fun to get up on Heath Ledger.

Right, it's totally addictive.

Eventually the foreshadowing at the end of EVERY chapter can get frustrating, but what a fun read.
