Back to life...back to reality...I spend way too much time at work, but I'm hoping that will change...please, let it change. When I'm not at work, I'm usually singing...or sleeping. I belong to a couple of different choral groups in the Chicago area (meaning Palatine) and it provides a nice break from the daily grind. Some things about me...I am obsessed with everything Cubs (2008 is our year, man...we'll just make it a solid century), collect movies about baseball, watch the TV shows Alias and religiously, sing and/or whistle along with commercials on the radio in the car(really just to annoy my friends), talk in a weird Minnesota accent when I've had too much to drink, and constantly wash my jeans with stuff still in the pockets. Oh, and I have this annoying habit of comparing every situation that I'm in, or even one that I just hear about, to something that happened in a movie or TV show. No one has ever called me on it, but I could see how it could get irritating if you're around me a lot...kinda like that episode of Seinfeld when Jerry........

John Cusack. No - Mark Grace. yeah that's it. Just to tell him that I named my car Gracie, but she died. Twas a sad day.
