I never realized how weird I feel if I go out without my glasses until this past weekend. I went the weekend without wearing them because I've been experiencing discomfort in my left eye. When I went out to Best Buy on Saturday it definitely felt like I was missing something. It's odd how those things matter so much when you don't have them.

I will be starting work this week, so that should be exciting. It will be good to start again because I'm starting to get a little bored just sitting around the house doing random tasks.

As promised, here are some pictures of the view from my place. Click the picture to make it bigger.




The webcam also points in a different direction than both of these new pictures, so take a look there too to see that view.

The Cubs are currently in a 6 game winning streak in which they have been hitting very well. The pitching has been pretty good too, except for a few games. The other night the Cubs let 5 or 6 runs score in the 9th inning. They blew a 5 run lead and then had to win the game in the bottom of the 9th on a Soriano 2-run single. It was pretty exciting though. It seems like this team is finally starting to get good, like they are supposed to be.

There really isn't much new with me. I've just been working and hanging out. I started riding my bike to work now, since it's not that far away. I'll probably do it every day now as long as it isn't really hot out or any chance of rain.

Cubs play the Brewers this weekend. It's a pretty important series since the Cubs can narrow the Brewers lead on the division. Also, both teams are really hot right now so the games should be fun to watch.
