Geez Louise! Ewoks Must Live Here!

Photobucket
Megan and I went to the Mushroom House for a holiday party thrown by The Children's Agenda.  Stolen pic from wikipedia.  More on the house at:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_House

Photobucket
Another stolen pic.  But, the house is for sale for only $799,900.  Price reduced $300,100 since October.

What it looked like in the dark when I rolled up after work...


Photobucket
The mosaic fireplace


Photobucket
Now that's a bathroom


Photobucket
The hallway connecting the "pods."  So, if you needed to have something repaired, who would you call; a hobbit?

Tree support

Here's a bedroom.  Now, this house has to come with the furniture because you would never be able to buy furniture for this place because there are no 90 degree angles and the furniture could never fit into another house that isn't a mushroom.

Fountain in the livingroom

Back to the fireplace

This is in the "lounge pod."  This is a giant cherry wood sculpture thing.


Photobucket
The Hobbit entrance.  It was a crazy house.  I left having way more questions than I had going into it.  Questions about plumbing, heating, and other maintenance.  


Photobucket
Thanks to Julie, I have some new paperwork for my projects...


Photobucket
This is Louise.  She looks freaked out because she is freaked out.  You would be too if you sat on a desk that has a nerf missile launcher on it.

Cat playing with the mouse

Cat in the box


Photobucket
I think she's trying to escape by using FedEX


Photobucket
After a long day, it's time to crash on my paperwork.  


Photobucket
That's it until xmas.  So, hope everyone has a good one.

Everyone Goes Coo-Coo Bananas When They Arrest My Neighbor

Our Governor (my neighbor) was arrested today. Apparently, they arrested him for being "a politician." Doesn't every politician use their political power of monetary gain? Anyway, read up on the man I saw shopping at Toys 'R Us: http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/blagojevich/1321300,rod-blagojevich-illinois-governor-custody-120908.article


Megan's work, American Instutute of Architects - Chicago, had their x-mas party at the Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies a few nights ago. This is their new building. It's facade is designed to look all busted up or something in the front. Think Robocop futuristic.












Inside at the party


They had some kind of cool looking display. Unfortunately, this is as close as I got to it.


LOBBY BLOB!!!




I love my neighbors (not Blagojevich this time) with their decorations. Halloween was pretty good too. I think they add something new everyday. Since I took this, they have added a life-sized Santa Claus and a music system.


Decorations at the fire station on Elston near Sacremento


Our Charlie Brown x-mas tree. It has a couple of gifts under it now. Thanks Katie!


This customized stocking was part of Megan's gift last year.


Which meant, this year I had to customize a matching stocking of my own...

Not too much going on here other than cold, snow, and lots of x-mas parties. I have five or six x-mas parties at work. The first is tomorrow and it should be good. Nick and Katherine's is on Saturday. There's probably a few others I'm forgetting about at the moment. Plus, I have to do my x-mas shopping still. Another reason why Thankgiving and Labor Day are the best holidays ever. Still trying to figure out the x-mas plans. I think I need to eat something.

xoxo,

Mike
