at 10:57 this morning, i started to write yet another whiny blog.

between 10:58 a.m. and 3:09 p.m., I:

• talked to courtney on gmail
• talked to whitney on gmail about american idol auditions
  
• found my DREAM JOB (for serious this time!)
• started to plan my trip to chicago at the end of august (i haven't been for almost nine years, so if you have recommendations, GETATME)
• stumbled for about an hour (edit: on stumble upon, not because i'm drunk!)
  
• found this picture (it's kind of the story of my life...):
  
• read about auburn and alabama and ku football, all my teams are ranked in the top 30 (well technically top 25 and alabama is 26....because that's how preseason rankings go)
  
• remembered the link that i sent annie and my mom yesterday
• had a nice phone chat with my mom
• looked at more pictures of air force ones that i want to buy
  
• remembered that last week, i wrote on this very blog that i needed to STFU and do 'less whining'

okay! i'll stop it now. i have two months here and i want them to be good (just please don't get mad at me if i'm quiet or if i want to stay home and just lay on the couch because if i don't get the chance to whine i at least need to have a little lazy time to myself, accepting my awkwardness...okay?).

before i move, i will try the eucalyptus sauna. at least once.



it is so hot. i cannot wait for sweater weather!



good news! my parents are finally getting rain (they've had 1/4" of rain since early may). thank you mr. hurricane!



the end.

i'm for real starting my krapp's last tape project this year. there's so much that i don't want to forget. turning 24 seems like good place to start. i'm also going to start doing an oral history for my family. does anyone know anything about recording phone conversations? i don't really want to put someone like my grandpa (almost totally deaf) on speaker phone and tape record him that way. also, does anyone know how hard/possible it is to convert an audio tape over to a CD? or just record onto a CD? anyone?

gabe leaves tomorrow. jason leaves thursday-ish. julie leaves next week. i feel like that kid who walked across the stage but didn't get their diploma because they have to go to summer school. i'm leaving but i still feel like it's a little late. ah well. october is my favorite month and hopefully it will be a great one this year.

i have officially applied for twelve jobs.

i enjoyed the lightning this evening.

i think i might wear my peacock costume on friday. maybe.

goodbye gabe! have a safe trip!

i need to watch more 30 rock. hulu.com here i come!
