Chicago Update

I moved to Chicago 13 days ago and so far, so good. I'm having a lot of fun here, meeting new friends, and organizing/furnishing my apartment. The weather here is actually much nicer than North Dakota too. On average, it seems that the temperature is approximately 20 degrees Fahrenheit warmer compared to how cold ND has been over the past few weeks.

The first few weeks have actually been really hectic, as I've had to go shopping for every single piece of furniture I thought I needed for my place because all I was able to fit in the vehicle I came to the city with was my clothes and computers.

Finally I'm getting to the point where I'm nearly finished furnishing my apartment. When it's all done I'll take some pics and post it to the blog. I now have a bed, dresser, nightstands, couch, kitchen table, computer desk, lounge chair, bar stools, end-tables, 55'' LCD 1080p flat-screen HDTV + Bose sound, and a PS3. The only things left on the list are a TV stand (already ordered, just waiting for it to arrive), lamps (also on the way) and getting around to buying random kitchen cookware, dishes, and utensils. After that, I should be set.

I absolutely love my place. The view is pretty awesome. I'll put some pics at the end of this post of the view from my apartment.

The people here have been great as well. I went out again on New Year's Eve with my new friend Tony and his friend. We ended up bar hopping and had a good time.

Poker is going a lot better as well since those last two tiltposts I made in my blog. Basically, now I'm back on track and having a great month so far.
