remember how i said that i'd post any major updates? well, here's a fucking humdinger of one. after 18 years of cohabitation, leff and i are doing the civil union thing on monday. we're not having a ceremony or reception or anything but we do have to say some things in front of an officiant so we'll take lots of photos and vid of whatever bonkers shit we get up to at city hall and after. maybe i'll post some of that here?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
so, hey, no, before you ask there is no pregnancy involved. this is just to firm up legal things for the state (wills, health insurance, boring life shit, etc) so, to reiterate, THERE ARE NOT ANY CHILDREN INVOLVED AND THERE NEVER WILL BE so, like, stop. 😂</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">once again, this piece of paper changes nothing, not even anyone's last name but it sure will make things like being able to make choices in emergency situations easier. so hooray! HOORAY! hooray? (no, it's a good thing.)</span></div>

we did find a couch, btw. just got to see if it will fit cause someone (me) forgot to measure the space before we went to the loop.<br />
<br />
since we were nearby, leff and i popped over to <a href="http://www.christkindlmarket.com/" target="_blank">christkindlmarket</a>. (i have a lot of catching up to do in regard to holiday stuff in chicago since i was down for the count with pneumonia last year.)<br />
<br />
anyway, christkindlmarket was just as crowded as i expected it to be. there were also a lot of brats!<br />

i've heard a rumor that it will go if the thompson center is torn down. it would be a shame, really. i've always had a soft spot for this goofy old sculpture.<br />
<br />
not gonna lie tho, i kinda don't care if the thompson center gets razed. dunno what they'd do with such a huge empty block but, and i am not alone in this sentiment, i wouldn't miss it. it's very, um, <i>berlin</i> GEE I WONDER WHY (helmut jahn designed both the thompson center and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Center" target="_blank">sony center</a> at potsdamer platz (<a href="http://glitterpissing.blogspot.com/2014/02/four-cities-two-weeks-berlin-day-7.html" target="_blank">i wasn't really a fan of jahn's when were were in berlin either.</a> *shrug*)<br />

just...blah. i really like what jahn did at o'hare! just not this particular building. or, you know, sony center.....ha hah...<br />
<br />
MOVING ON, we walked down randolph cause i wanted to try to find the old heidelberg restaurant building cause the fact that this tiny building still exists in the loop is just crazy. it's a tea shop now but, for a while, <a href="http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1997-11-28/features/9711290001_1_steak-tartare-meat-painted">i guess it was a steakhouse</a>? idk, i saw footage of it from the 30's on youtube (AND I CAN'T FIND IT AGAIN ARGH) that showed the original clockwork figures moving around on the quarter hour. you can kinda see where those would have been located above the clock face.<br />

do click through on the thorne room link. it's really hard to get a good pic of the miniatures cause of the glass, so, please, if you are AT ALL interested, check out their professional photos.<br />
<br />
leff and i still have to head back downtown for <a href="https://www.themagnificentmile.com/lights-festival/">mag mile lights </a>and maybe also to see the <a href="https://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/dca/supp_info/tree0.html">tree in grant park</a>. <a href="http://maggiedaleypark.com/things-to-do-see/skating-ribbon/">ice skating at the ribbon</a>?? oh! and on the way home, <a href="http://www.lpzoo.org/zoolights-presented-comed-and-powershares-qqq-invesco">zoo lights</a>! (i think they also have new holiday mold a ramas too. lol)<br />
<br />
what can i say? i kinda like the holiday season in chicago. it feels...right? stay tuned for more ~soft holiday stylings~.

the premise is simple, if you see a heart painting (or two or three) in your little library box, please take it and let me know at rakkadeer+takeheart at gmail dot com (include the number on the back of the painting in subject line) so that i can replace it with another. </div>

it's just a little bit of encouragement in what has been a very, very rough year for many. anyway, if you live in chicago or have friends/family here, please be on the lookout/let them know! thanks!</div>

if you are in town for kodomo matsuri, this is an event that i will force you to attend if only for the food. (there were demonstrations and an entire craft area but it was very crowded and i was hungry.) all the food was incredibly fresh and delicious and i can't wait until next year when i will also get a teriyaki dog.<br />

(that is my m.o. openings, smopenings i'm all about the panic of last day viewing)<br />
<br />
confluence 20+ was the third edition of a traveling exhibit (milan, hong kong, seoul, chicago) about hong kong design. i knew this was going to be good but i didn't realize HOW good.<br />

christ, i love this holiday.<br />
<br />
edit, 11/4/17-- i tried putting the stupid nagel head in places that might scare leff (on the mirror, in a cabinet, etc, etc) but nothing worked so i decided to turn it into a kite simply cause its disembodied head reminded me of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rokurokubi" target="_blank">rokurokubi </a>. i gave it a twine neck/string to accentuate the yokai-ness of the thing and also some andy warhol dollar signs and glosticks cause they made it tackier.<br />

most of my photos from sacred heart didn't really come out (it was crowded, my lens was foggy due to torrential downpours lol). check out <a href="https://www.instagram.com/leff.out/" target="_blank">leff's ig</a> if you'd like to see more!<br />

after a quick stop at home to change clothes (i wasn't kidding about <a href="http://wgntv.com/2017/10/15/nonstop-rain-causes-flooding-in-chicago-area/" target="_blank">the downpours</a>.), we hoofed it to <a href="https://openhousechicago.org/sites/site/st-ita-roman-catholic-church/" target="_blank">st ita</a>! i almost went to the cathedral a few weeks ago when the<a href="http://wgntv.com/2017/09/26/faithful-pay-respects-to-relics-of-st-padre-pio/" target="_blank"> st pia relics were on display </a> but, despite having taught at a catholic school, i still get nervous about how to behave in those situations, so i waited for open house. <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">¯\_(ツ)_/¯</span><br />

i'll probably be making more pumpkins this year as i can GET THEM DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE (heart you, chicago!!) but until then, why not enjoy<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNsFdzRP-vM" target="_blank"> this animation where pam fixes the baby</a>? (i love it almost as much as chicago!)<br />
<br />
edit 10/15/17-- final pam is no more. 6 days after carving she started getting mushy. poor pam. you will be missed.<br />

speaking of tours, <a href="https://reservations.scjohnson.com/Info.aspx?EventID=16" target="_blank">sc johnson is offering free ones of their campus</a> in conjunction with the biennial. OF COURSE i signed up asap cause you cannot go frank lloyd wrong when you're standing in a frank lloyd wright building. (did i make that joke when i went to price tower? prob.(lol, <a href="http://glitterpissing.blogspot.com/2012/08/10-states-in-7-days-oklahoma-arkansas.html" target="_blank">i did.</a> of course.))</div>

on the way to the bus to racine. seriously. how can all of this be gratis? (it is tho. no catch.)<br />
<br />

<br />
it takes about two hours to get to racine from chicago. on the way, we passed <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois_Tollway_oasis" target="_blank">the tollway oasis</a> where we stopped on our move out here and also that cheese cave near six flags where we didn't. fun fact: i had not left chicago city limits since arriving here in june of 2016!<br />
<br />
you know the real draw of the sc johnson wax campus, right? hell yes, the interior of the admin building! <a href="https://www.loc.gov/resource/highsm.15571/" target="_blank">here is a sanctioned photo of the interior</a> cause photos aren't allowed inside. you just juuuuust see some of those beautiful columns in this pic. that space was just SO wonderful. i wish i hadn't left.<br />

i also love the tower. am i weird in liking flwright's towers slightly more than his prairie houses? (yes)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
again, no interior pics were allowed. the most interesting part of the tower is the fact that you can't see out of it due to the leaky, glass rods. (wright found racine to be ugly and thought views of the city would spoil his buildings. (all frank lloyd wright buildings leak.))<br />
<br />
another big name architect is on the sc johnson campus. yes! that is norman foster! as far as i can tell, fortaleza hall was built to house a replica plane (i mean, fine. whatever.) but what i like most about it is how the curves mimic those in the wright buildings.<br />
<br />

hey, protip here-- if you are booking the tour through the biennial, try to do it on the weekend as another wright building is included then! yes! we got to go to wingspread! (i kept calling it <a href="https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Wingull_(Pok%C3%A9mon)" target="_blank">wingull </a>bwahah (it is not a good spot for pokemon, in case you were wondering. 😂))<br />
<br />
anyway, wingspread is now a convention center.<br />

oh! on the second floor in the left hand wing, there was a weird framed paper bathing suit. these used to be handed out to guests who had forgotten theirs. (the pool was under construction at the time of our visit.)<br />

it was nice to be able to wander on our own at wingspread after being on rails on the campus. very peaceful and a great way to end the tour.<br />
<br />
one last tip--on the way up, a pit stop for lunch at oh danish bakery is included. (you *do* have to pay for your lunch but, hey, that's fair.) pick up a kringle or FOUR. they're delicious. (we got cream cheese and cherry.)<br />

until then, can recommend with big enthusiasm the pumpkin pie kit kats! surprisingly amazing especially when considering that this is an american flavor and not a japanese one! it's not overly sweet and has a big pumpkin pie spice hit right off the bat. </div>
