i went to the red lyon on wednesday and the brooksider tonight. i'm getting my fill of douchebag bars. yay for me.
quote of the millennium:
"remember that bitch in high school who never let us pet her therapy dog?"
and later....
"well, she shouldn't have gotten such a cute therapy dog if she didn't want us to pet it."
so wise.

I GOT MY FIRST INTERVIEW!!!
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:
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.

for today's class, two topics of discussion. respond to at least one topic.
a) what do you think about a four day work week? would you rather work four 10-hour days or five 8-hour days? i know that some of you don't work full time but my life with a full-time job is really similar to my life in high school (7:40 to 2:40 and then 10 hours of work a week and practice/meetings for some bullshit almost every day).
my co-worker jen said "hell yes, i'd work three 12-hour days if they'd let me". i don't know about that. a 10-hour day sounds ridiculously long but i would tolerate it if it meant i'd get a three-day weekend. i used to work 10-hour shifts at express and i spent the entire time on my feet, so it wouldn't be that bad. plus i think it'd save energy and certainly gas, as well as other expenses like paying for lunch if you have to eat out for lunch. i think it's a good idea.
b) help me plan my trip to chicago. seriously. i went once when i was 9ish and did the whole touristy boat tour of the river/go to the top of the sears tower/go to the hancock tower/go to the museums/go to nike town/go to miracle mile/eat some pizza. when i was 14ish my mom and i flew up for a day and covered most of the art museums. other than that, i have very little experience in chicago.
so help me discover the city where i plan to spend the next few years (at least). my mom is very into art galleries/art museums but other than that, she'll want to continue with the tourist crap and i'm not so into that. give me some ideas and keep in mind that i'll be traveling with my mom and my sister (at times).

i just wrote out this ridiculous blog about how i just found out about the death of an old associate's brother and it reminded me that i need to stop being such a miserable ingrate and then i observed that EVERYONE is a miserable ingrate. i deleted it because it had this air of superiority, like i was super awesome because "i'm not complacent" or something and people who think that their life is hard because of trivial crap like the fact that la prima tazza doesn't have sugar-free strawberry syrup are lesser beings.
bullshit.
we all have our faults. i have several and my biggest is a combination of being egocentric and depressed about my situation. sure, i have some things in my life that have been difficult for me to deal with... i also spend a lot of time whining about my own trivial crap. i'm definitely not better than anyone else. so i'm going to remember that and work to stop being judgmental AND to stop being so self-concerned. great.
i'm trying to think of ways to redeem this blog....

- http://dickipedia.org. it's pretty funny. read it. i enjoyed this part in particular (from flavor flav's entry): "Interestingly, a valid argument exists that Flav is entirely responsible for Public Enemy's popularity among white people who, in 1988, might have been initially turned off by Chuck D's black nationalism, but ultimately enjoyed dancing rappers in funny sunglasses." sigh. too bad that i unfortunately know from experience that chuck d is a dick too.

- okay i'm not getting anything good from stumbleupon. sorry. um...i got a haircut this weekend.
- i think i'll just call it a day and submit this entry as one of the suckiest entries evar. I WIN!
