It's just a part time job. So what if it's the Gap.

It's true, I work part time at the Gap. I get great discounts and well, it's better then Walgreens. While I'm waiting for this jackass to get his butt in gear for my second interview at the sweet job I really want, I had to make some money. I've been applying like mad to other jobs for the past two months and finally this weekend, I get the job at the Gap. Then today, I get calls for two more interviews this Friday. One for a full time job and then another part time. What's taking so long people? Just hire me! Anyway, now I'm weighing all my options. Soon, I'll have a real life here again. It's all very exciting!

A couple of weeks ago. Matt, Christie and I hit the road and drove to Woodstock, IL to pick apples and to eat at the diner that Bill Murray sat and ate doughnuts at in Groundhog Day. Although the diner was closed, we still managed to pick a crap load of apples and enjoy the awesome weather. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Here we are in Woodstock's town square. Matt and I are waving from the gazebo in the square where all the Groundhog Day festivities take place.

I'm not sure if Woodstock does it anymore, but a couple years back, I went there on Groundhog day and there were all these cool movie related things to do such as watch the movie all day for free at the theater or take a tour of all the places Bill Murray killed himself. If they have it again this year, then I will probably go.

I plan on posting more Halloween related pictures tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Keep your head down and look busy. . .

Last night on the L, I was asked by a fifty or so year old woman with about 3 teeth if my name was Dale and if I went to high school with her. When I replied no, she asked me if I channeled Dale's energy. After replying no again, and hoping the conversation was over, she asked if she could draw me and she wouldn't charge me much for it. 2 things I learned from this interaction: 1) I look like I'm 50. 2) If you are keeping your head down, desperately trying to look busy while staring at a bottle of water, never give up and look else where. Keep focused and maybe the crazies will bother someone else.

Mike, Mike, Mike. I have been thinking about a Halloween Party long before I even moved back home. I went to a horrible L.A. party last year, and kept thinking about how much fun I used to have back in Chicago. However, since I have moved back, and into such a nice place - I'd even say the nicest I have lived in thus far - I think about how trashed my old apartment got after those parties and I get a little scared. Will I fuck up our nice wood floors? Will we rudely disturb all of our neighbors? And even more importantly, will someone knock over or even (gulp) break my collection of Kid Robot toys? The possibilities are endless.

Now, I know I am running out of time to plan such an event, but I want to speak to Christie (blogger and upstairs neighbor) one more time about it to see what she thinks. If it's smaller than my old parties, things should be fine, right?

Just as a short FYI- my interview today went well. It looks like I will be called into a second interview next week!

Just Checking In:

Sorry for my lack of blogging activity - this semester (my last, thank god) has been the most stressful of my academic career. I've had little time for friends, or even just kicking back to watch some TV. I keep trying to set aside a little time for bowling, but any gaps in my schedule are quickly filled by overtime at the office or school work. It will happen though, I swear.

Is anything going on for Halloween? Jen, are you continuing with the Halloween party tradition?

Did someone photoshop out the waves?

Matt and I went to the Indiana Dunes on Friday. I haven't seen the lake in ages and wow, is it flat. No waves or anything. So wierd. Here are some pics from our day.
