Job Hunt, Part One
I say that we make more friends by things collectively despised.

Being twenty-three & a recent graduate, with plenty programs under my belt, I have a lot of experience with baring my sins on paper. I also have a few years practical experience writing legibly on teeny test tubes from so many science labs. But the two...

Day ten -- A dream you had this past week...
The most vivid & memorable chimera to ever step out of my subconscious came from the week that I moved to Minnesota last year. You could say I was jolted by the substantial change in scenery, from balmy Myrtle Beach to well, equally balmy Midwest, from living with my biological sister to sharing life with three religious Sisters. I was also drinking extra coffee for transitional balance.

Lint is a shell's best friend
MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON from Dean Fleischer-Camp on Vimeo.
Meet a shell voiced by SNL’s Jenny Slate, who is smart, confident, hang-glides on Doritos, skis on a man’s toenails & dreams of owning a dog. I loved watching this.

Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger from KY State Fair →
“It actually starts to taste like a hamburger after the first four or five bites…”
Holy glaze, is this for real? The day I’m told I have days to live, I’m going to find one of those drive thru Krispy Kreme’s in the Deep South & order one of these straight from my motorized chair.

See you all tamale!
I just watched the season five finale of The Office & about peed my pants. It’s called “Company Picnic”, in which all the branches get together for food & fun. Dwight meets up & chats SPF with his best friend Rolf, Charles patronizes Jim for old times sake & Michael almost tells Holly that they are soup-snakes. I remember not liking it a whole lot last year...

Pam Beesly: Do you want me to beat him up for ya?
Jim Halpert: No, I shouldn't ask you to do stuff like that. You should just do it.

Things worth missing:
In the next week I will hopefully be on my way to a second year of service in a volunteer program. I was sitting on the porch steps tonight, craning my neck for a better view of the stars overhead & out of a bubbling appreciation for them I began to form a list of things I know I will miss:
Stars. Once upon a time, my town only had two stop-lights. Then suburban-sprawl happened, that dang...
