It was an exciting game. Too bad we got our butts kicked. Hey jocks,
fyi... Drunkenly spouting sports stats on the Metro on your way home
does not make you sound smart.

Uh oh!

Guess where Little Miss Scared of Heights is temping today?

Seasons Greetings from the CTA!

So maybe they put the "sit" in transit, but the CTA sure knows how to do
Christmas. I had heard about the "Holiday Train" and seen it on TV, but
it is much better in person.

I was tired and cranky after rehearsal today and waited for the L for
what seemed like an hour. Suddenly this obnoxiously decorated train
pulls up with bells ringing and holiday music blasting and an open air
train car with elves and Santa just sitting and waving. It was surreal,
I was at the L station, minding my own business, and Santa just pulled
up in front of me.

At first I was like, oh crap. This is so irritating. I get annoyed by
obnoxious Christmas stuff interrupting my day. But I stepped in and I
couldn't stop smiling! They had thought of everything. Even the
advertizing banners and the seats were Christmas-y! And CTA workers
were handing out candy and facepainting the kids! It was so over the
top and I loved it! Strangers on the train were all talking to each
other and everyone was laughing and taking pictures with their camera
phones.

Best Christmas experience I've had in years!

From Time-Out Chicago

SUPER(SIZE) HERO The media’s obsession with the weight fluctuations of skeletal starlets like Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan is merely one example of how riddled we are by unrealistic, unattainable body-image expectations. But the newly formed comic group FatCo is here to save the day with a dose of reality. Its first sketch revue, titled Fat in Flight, up for a short run at Donny’s Skybox, is an unashamed take on the large lifestyle. The show focuses both on the repercussions of society’s fat perceptions (for example, Southwest Airlines requiring “certain” people to buy two seats) and the cast’s real-life struggles to fit in. Individual scenes are funny, albeit fiercely personal—a woman who spent her youth duct-taping her waist; another who was dropped during a trust fall by peers afraid to catch her; a male actor who’s always cast as the fat friend, never the lead. It’s sometimes unsettling to see these situations play out, but they accurately reflect the world in which we all live. The Second City Skybox, 1608 N Wells St at North Ave (312-337-3992, http://www.secondcity.com/). Sat 16, 9pm. $12, students $10. See Comedy listings.—Steve Heisler

Movin On Up!

Free-lance style short-term temping is so fun for me! Look at the view
out of the office I'm at this week! I'm never going to get used to that
elevator though. I don't know how people can think its ok for your ears
to pop that many times a day!

These are views of the Merchandise Mart across the Chicago River from
me, and the Sears Tower across the rooftops.
