Hello world! Are you there? Is anybody listening? Ah, I don't really care... this blog is not my livelihood. HOWEVER, it is fun! WOW!

Ok, so here's the deal. I moved away from Chicago in order to save money. I'm now in Madison, WI which might as well be another fucking country. It's THAT different. Where to start? Oh, they actually air a lot of political ads, which blows my mind because that shit doesn't happen in Chicago. IT. JUST. DOESN'T. And that is great. Honestly, if your vote is swayed by a commercial, then you clearly don't know what the hell is going on. The End.

Also, hippies are everywhere. I hate it. AND everyone is a dork. It's true. Dorks and hippies. Madison! We put dorks on bikes! (Miles came up with that slogan, I think it's pretty catchy.)

OK. I got that out of my system.

Miles and I did get to do some exploring yesterday.  We discovered this really awesome (maybe Tex/Mex) restaurant right around the corner from our place. I had these really delicious tacos called EL Cubano. It was a marinated, shredded pork taco with pablano mayo, spicy cheese, and pickled celery that just totally rocked my world. They also had a complimentary salsa bar (Miles lost his mind over that) and some of the best guacamole I've ever had. It's called TACO PALACE! (Which is almost as good as Taco Town, but still a pretty great name.)

I've been spending a lot of time in the apartment, so I've been able to do some work!

  2. Kate! I didn't even know you had a blog! I want to become a CCE follower! That means I get to hop on my bike and ride around behind the CCE tour bus, right? Maybe that's what all the hippies in Madison are doing.

    Your sketches are beautiful-- I love #1, #5 and #9 especially. Please keep updating!
