Stormy Wednesday

Currently in the middle of a storm. I was downtown for my Indian Art & Architecture summer class and I just made it back in time before the torrential downpour began. Lucky me! I must say it's sort of lovely, staying in watching the lightshow through my big windows in the living room.

Anyway, I decided to make a quick and easy dinner: curry udon. I used S&B Golden Curry roux, fresh udon noodles, a splash of dashi broth, chicken, carrots, onions and green onions. Yum!

I thought about heading to the 30th floor roof deck to snap a picture of this rainbow, but decided against it when I saw more flashes of lightning. Instead, I went downstairs and nearly got knocked over by the strong winds outside my building! The sky was dabbled orange-mauve in some parts, blue in others. Very lovely.

In other news, my big brother moved to Jakarta for good yesterday. He gave me those cubes and little green jars to keep, it was part of his apartment decor in Philadelphia. I like them!

Summer 2010

Ginger tea, a pair of beautiful red soled heels, and two good books. I am happy. I start summer school on Monday, and I am actually looking forward to learning all about art and architecture in India.

The weather has been so strange. For the past few days, I've had to leave my apartment with a light cardigan, which is okay, but hey! It's summer! To love or to hate Chicago's temperamental weather? Anyway, tomorrow should be warm, so I am going on a little picnic girl-date by Lake Michigan with my friend Brie! I even made fresh ginger iced tea, so excited
