Random Thoughts Thursday 47
Lots of thoughts this week that are materializing in to nada… lucky for you guys, that means you get some short bullet points!
- I had the most bizarro foggy (cloudy?) run in Chicago today! I left my office expecting to see a Chicago skyline like the picture on the left below… instead I saw the view on the right.
- Which summer blockbusters have you seen? Mica and I were talking about this last night and I was trying to remember… I’ve seen Elysium, Man of Steel, Star Trek: Into Darkness, Pacific Rim, World War Z, Iron Man 3, Pain & Gain (that should probably not be on the list). Did I miss any, Steven? Just kidding. You don’t read my blog.
- Ha ha. Speaking of Pain & Gain, I saw it the night before I did my first ever one-on-one personal training session, and in the movie, they were talking about supersets and other personal trainer jargon that cracked me up (and got me pumped up for the session).
- When I saw my snister last week I tried on my bridesmaids dress! Yay! It fits! I like it! It covers up my wacky back tan! AND! It was super affordable (she bought them)! Only downside… I want to wear it NOW and she said no. Ha ha!
- The highlight of my afternoon has been a “Minion” blimp flying around downtown… of course, I can’t get a decent picture of it on my phone!

CBsays you should have called him to go run. He says I’m lazy and too sore from last nights 800’s to run properly with him (including sprints, sudden stops and other antics)
I have not seen any movies…
I can’t wait to see your beautiful bridesmaid dress!
I ran by the street where the Chicago Veggie Pride Parade was and thought about how we gave you a ride home! I should have run over to your place and asked for CB. Can he open the door?
😀 Maybe I will share a pic in email when I try it on! I owe a pic to Gina 🙂
I haven’t been to the movies in uhhhh probably 2 years. Yeah. We never go. I’m lame.
I want to see the dress!! Or does it need to wait to be revealed till wedding day?
That is no lame! It just must not be your thing! We are just really in to movies!
I will send you a pic the next time I try it on! 🙂
Man of Steel, Pacific Rim, The Heat, and Despicable Me 2. Not many movies this summer. Wanted to see Trek and Red 2 but never did.
I hadn’t even heard of Trek! I kept seeing the same previews OVER AND OVER. Like for that dumb RIP movie and Wolverine. We were going to see Red 2 as well 🙁
So the fog today? Insane. This morning I felt like I was running through a horror movie. I was literally 5 feet from the water and couldn’t see it. Crazy. The views from my office are cool though!
I wish I could see the minion blimp! I love Despicable Me (haven’t seen 2 yet though).
YES! It was so crazy! One of the guys who took my class tonight works in the BCBS building and had some WAY schweet pics of the fog on his phone. Did you get any?
AH I need a minion blimp! When is he coming to the suburbs?
Also, what was your favorite summer blockbuster?
Ha ha ha! Do blimps ever go out there? That would be cool if he did.
Hmm. None of the movies were that spectacular. I would probably be most likely to watch Iron Man 3 again (which was originally missing on my list – I added it in!).
We had a lot of fog here today too. Most of the schools closed for the day. We were just in Chicago at the beginning of August for vacation and I can’t imagine what it’d be like with fog that dense. Crazy to see your picture.
I saw Iron Man 3 and Hangover 3, and that’s about it. I really wanted to see Star Trek and Gatsby, but never got there. I have no excuse, the movie theater is right down the street.
Oh a minion blimp, just another day, right? LOL The fog is weird! We had that too. This weather is for the birds. Or the alligators. Or someone other than me.
Star Trek and Despicable Me 2 are the two big movies I’ve seen this summer. Just saw The World’s End last Sunday (funny and odd alien-themed comedy)
I tried to get outfit photos the captured the fog but it just didn’t work. It was pretty foggy up high downtown on Wednesday night, too. Crazy!
Looking forward to seeing you in the bridesmaid dress!
I’m jealous of your movie experience! I haven’t seen any of those movies yet!
No more back tan exposure? DRESS FAIL! how else will people know how much vitamin D you get??
we saw the blimp too!
Did you like Elysium? I want to see it, but I’m just not sure I’ll have time to fit it in. Maybe Red Box. Maybe.
And yay for covering up “wacky back tan”!!! Woo Hoo!
I mostly enjoyed it, and only got a bit bored in the end… you can totally wait for Red Box 😉
The fog was awful when I was driving to work! However, I have been loving all of the rain lately:)
I haven’t seen any blockbusters. So sad. However, I am dying to see The Butler!
Oh, I love the minion flying around! What was it there for? How cute!
I am guessing it was just an ad? Very fun way to do it!
