John Calipari To Kentucky Winner Is "The Door" |... →
Today was just like any other day. I went to the Unemployment Office (again), grabbed some food for Taco Tuesday and then came home to apply for jobs.
Fortunately for me, the Calipari saga was heating up. The best part— a Memphis tv crew sitting outside of a door to the Memphis AD’s office. It was amazing. Whitney, a few other friends and I sat and watched this door for 4 hours. I...

Excellence
I did not win the plane ticket.
My good friend Jaime (I miss you, by the way) requested I say more about the job. It’s with a non-profit that seems to be in great standing financially. I’m wary of listing the name because the ED gets google alerts and I don’t want him to know what a freak I am, but it’s an organization that runs a large farmer’s market in town and is...

Stream of consciousness
I’m your you.
My cat and I need to lose some weight.
I feel lonely sometimes but not all the time, which means I have made progress.
I tried to look up some Lost theories today and got more confused. This show makes no sense.
What else have I done this week? Watched Sophie Scholl’s The Final Days (holy crap, you must watch it), studied for the LSAT, cleaned out half my room, took...

Unemployment, day something-or-another
I’m not actually sure what day this is because of my furlough last week, so we’ll call this day 4 since my first absolute day of unemployment was the 20th. Today’s the 24th, right? I don’t even know anymore.
So yesterday, I sat around and applied for jobs. I also deleted all links I had to things pertaining to my former job. This included deleting profiles to the...
Frenchies
I am at war with the French.
We have new upstairs neighbors who like to blare their techo music. More specifically, they have the bass turned up as high as it will possibly go. Now, by this point I would normally knock on their door and request that they turn down the bass. However, they’ve been nothing but rude to me and my friends since they moved in and I have to say that I’m a...

Unemployment Office
The SECOND the KU game was over (oh yeah…we won!), I jumped in my car and drove to the Chicago unemployment office off of Lawrence and Western. First comment— filing for unemployment takes forever. Bring a book. Second comment— everyone was in a very good mood. I imagined some Miss Trunchbull character hitting me with a whip everytime I had a question and I was very wrong. The...
Unemployed
Well, now I have closure. That’s good. I lost my job today, which is not good, but I can’t do anything about it. If anyone knows of any marketing/communications/Web site-related jobs in Chicago with a stable organization, please pass that info along.
Dream Job
Someday I’d like to write for a soap opera. Preferably for Days of Our Lives because I’m so familiar with the plot. I’d also like to retire from the writing job eventually and become a bartender.
Vincent is to my left, playing WOW. Courtney is to my right, watching the Youtube clip of Brad Pitt being hit by a car in Meet Joe Black. I’m reading about basketball teams and my...
A boy died
A boy died in Lawrence on Sunday from alcohol poisoning. He was 19.
It hit a little too close to home. I wrote a letter. I hope my words were considered.
Part baby
I have three baby teeth without permanent teeth underneath. I will always be part baby.
I am not cut out to be a mom.
I know a lot of people with birthdays this week.
Recently, a certain part of my life hit a snag and I’ve been in this weird limbo-state aggravated by rumors and paranoia and panic. I’m hoping this “snag” is resolved this week but it could not be resolved until who-knows-when and I am. going. insane. I was thinking about my mom and how I call her and cry and she calmly...
