it's a job with a huge company in chicago (not my #1 most favorite job) and the interview (by phone) is in late september (by then i'll know the status of my other applications). let's just say it was a big relief. i was beginning to feel invisible. i've applied for 34 jobs as of 8:27 p.m. yesterday.
sometime back in march, my digital camera broke. i'm super lazy AND couldn't locate my warranty card (the lens jammed?), so i didn't send it in until last week. it arrived yesterday and i can't tell you how happy i was! i have two other cameras (my mom's ol' canon rebel and my fisheye) that both use film and it's been a real pain to get the photos developed.
anyway, i wanted to take some pictures but i haven't been doing anything exciting recently, so i could only take two:
a) my new hair, cut last saturday by hannah
as you can see, i have fully embraced the natural wave (which has, in the past two years, turned into natural curl). the best part is that it looks pretty good without doing one goddamn thing to it. in fact, if i try to blow it out or mess with it too much, my hair loses its curl. this is awesome. less work = more better.
b) a picture of jon's cat franz. you can't quite tell because of the red lighting, but dude is fat. you might think that me calling franz fat is ironic because my cat is fat. BUT my cat is also four and weighs two pounds less. franz is less than a year old and weighs 14 lbs. jon has him on a diet so franz is starving and yesterday tried to eat my purse and a slice of pizza. poor little guy.
SOOOO thanks for the suggestions on chicago and keep them coming. my sister is taking a class and second city and apparently gets free tickets to one of their shows so that's exciting. so far i plan to hit up:
- chicago pub lib
- quimby's
- earwax
- the shedd (i didn't mention this because i figured it was obvs)
- hyde park
- lula
- myopic books
- udupi Palace
ending points
1) i want these to be real, especially AIDS: the gay plague and BIRDS: they are fucking everywhere.
2) this is so true for me. the "random article" button is the new crack.
