Nothing special, but I saw my first Chicago rainbow (albeit a faint one) today. I snapped off a couple for posterity:
Today's rain stopped a couple minutes before sunset and for a minute or two I got to see a full on rainbow, arching from one side of the horizon all the way to the other...
Here's the other side. Looks like there's a pot of gold at DeVry "University"! Ok that was mean. Anyway, I posted two photos since I lacked a sufficiently wide wide-angle to get the whole thing (I'd say I would've needed about a 150 degree field of view, yikes).
Instead of finding gold at the end of the rainbow I found a side of Popeye's cajun rice. Close enough.

Poisoned
Ugh I got nothing these days. I've been battling a mild case of suspected food poisoning.
At first I thought, how could this happen? Then I remembered that my previous 3 days of eating included pho tai in Little Saigon, chicken and lamb shwarma in Bucktown, buffalo meat with pomegranate sauerkraut, duck sausage, and reindeer in the burbs. So really, how could it not happen.
I don't quite remember the last time I've considered myself sick, so I guess it was bound to happen. Anyway, I've been feeling like shit and not having much motivation to move. Here's hoping I feel better soon so I can get back to eating random game meat.

Jump
I've been kind of busy these days with a lot of nonsense, so haven't really had much time to take photos. However, I did pick up a low-endish 25mm prime that I'm itching to try out. The image quality isn't that great but the lens is about the size of an Oreo, so it's all about the portability with this one. We'll see.
In the meantime, here's a scan of a ~10 year photo of me (taken by Chuck):
I don't remember the name of the river we were jumping into or even the year this was taken. All I know is it was somewhere in the upper peninsula of Michigan and that it was damn fun.
