Something funny-comedy, jokes and comics
Stressed out from work? Read some jokes, and have some good laugh.
- Conan O'brien is my favorite TV comedian. You can read some of jokes on his late night talk show.
Here is his supposed-to-be-serious commencement speech to the Havard graduates.
- Jon Stewart's The Daily Show.
- "America's Finest News Source" - The Onion.
- Classic Dave's top 10 list.
- Ph.D. comics - What life in Graduate School is like.
- Do you know what the word "misunderestimate" means? If you search on Google, it returns 73,600 results, but you cannot find this word in any English dictionary.
Here is why.
Something yummy-Chicago's food
I love food. Who doesn't?
Chicago is probably the city you want to live if you love food as much as I do. No money for fancy restaurants? No problem. Here is a list you want to try:
- Stuffed Pizza at Pompei. This is a nice but inexpensive place around UIC campus.
- Deep Dish Pizza at Connie's. It is located in the Bridgeport/Chinatown neighborhood.
- Roasted Sandwich at Potbelly. You can find an Potbelly sandwich shop at Taylor & Laflin.
- Polish Sausage at Bobak's. It takes about 15 mins drive from UIC neighborhood, but you will become their frequent customer once you try their authentic polish sausage.
- Italian Sandwich at Fontano's. You can find their store right behind the UIC main library. I visit there and grab my lunch almost every week.
Something precious-friends
Most of my friends already finished school, so they don't have the leisure time to spend on a homepage. I must have been studying in school for too long.
