I'm catching up on The Chicago Code. I just watched episode four. The part where they're at the bar disarming the second bomb, that they say is on Jackson? Yeah, that's Hubbard and Wabash. And I know that because a) I walk past it every day, and b) I walked past them while they were on a break from filming that scene, and c) the bar (Blue Frog 22) has the address printed on the outside.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Watching The Chicago Code on tape-delay. Delroy Lindo is so much fun to watch as Alderman Gibbons.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Last week's episode I knew every single guest actor credited after the titles. I've worked with all of them within the past two years. Go team, local actors!

I love that you can never tell how much he knows. So you basically assume he knows everything. Although I don't know whether he knows Liam is an undercover cop. Maaaaaaybe he does. Maybe he doesn't.

Episode six of The Chicago Code. There's my office.
At this point, I have to keep watching the show just to make sure I'm not in it.

Ha!
Unrelatedly, I miss Terriers. God, that was a good show.

I didn't even notice that in the article. Now it just leaves me feeling like someone saw my underwear.

HOLY SHIT: McGill's MBA program went from under $2000 a year to $29,000 as a tuition jump within one year!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
McGill was seriously one of the best bargains in quality education out there. It was $600/semester when I started and $1200/semester when I left¹. I'm not sure how the MBA program managed to stay so cheap--I imagined it had crept up in the 20 years since I was there.
I mean, it was one of the top 15 universities in the world at the time, and we had a shitload of American students there because it was cheaper for them to be international students there than go to their own state schools back home.
¹:Oh, the ruckus at the raise! One of my best friends chained herself to the outside of the Registrar's Office in protest. Given that I'd lent her a semester's tuition just beforehand and she was also shamelessly abusing bursaries...I mean, she just showed up at this McGill office and they gave her money...I had medium to little sympathy for her.
