Excuses

So this morning I wake up at a reasonable hour and sign into Gmail to get a start on my job applications. What I find is an email from Laura alerting me that for only $386 I could take a four-day vacation in Hawaii (and since I'm unemployed it's the perfect time to take advantage of this). A quick gChat with Pam and she has convinced me to help her try to get World Series tickets by constantly hitting refresh on this link. Seeing as vacuuming is more appealing than writing cover letters, Hawaii and the World Series have clearly won.

Preview of posts coming soon (hopefully):

• Ozzy Osbourne: Live (sort of)! in Concert
• Beautiful photos of Deception Pass (yes, AGAIN! you know you love it . . .)
• A Masshole makes a pilgrimage to the homeland
• Cecil's latest adventures in random employment

The Power of Positive Thinking

Clearly because of the non-blog color change (and with a little help from a few clutch hits from Pedroia and Youkilis), the Sox are headed to the World Series after coming back and winning three straight to clinch the American League pennant.



Believe.

Centered

It's Almost 3 pm

And what have I accomplished today?

• Made ramen
• Ate ramen
• Investigated how to make worm bin
• Thought about updating résumé
• Showered
• Made "To Do" list

How's the Job Search Going?

Thanks for asking. I'm so glad you did. Please, can we talk about what a failure I am? Although I did get an interview offer today. Ok, fine, so the subject of the email was "UPS is Hiring Seasonal Driver Helpers." Maybe it's a sign.

In other fantastic news, the Sox lost tonight, 4-2, despite that fact that Shaw is now on our side. This means they'll really have to step it up tomorrow night as the Indians now lead the series 2-1 and I'm starting to get nervous.
