Dear Self,

Looking at the job listings is indeed incredibly depressing. But you have to keep doing it until you find a bloody job and can move on with your life. Being miserable about the mess you've made of your life in the past six months really won't help, and will in fact, only make you feel worse. I know you're not listening to me, but at least I've said it.

Take up cooking. Convince your friends they need to buy you a few groceries, and cook like mad. It might make you feel better to do something, and it's way too damp to be cleaning.

Do not think about how the rain reminds of you of Brno.

always yours,
Amanda

I love election season. One commercial shows a Senator's roadside sobriety test, which he failed miserably. Another shows our governor bullying a female state trooper who pulled him and his buddy over for speeding. Not to mention all the ads demonstrating how every Texas politician has some shady connection to Enron. Jezismaria. Voting is no longer an exercise in civic duty, but a crapshoot between different flavors of evil.

Thirty minute showers are a joy.

Tomorrow, as part of Liberal Arts week, there will be festivites between Calhoun and Parlin. I hear there will be food, and perhaps I'll wear my pin.

I'm ravenous, and Melynda shouldn't leave her Twix in the fridge to tempt me... argh. God, the Lenin zombie never fails to make me laugh. "Must... crush... capitalism..."

intern day in the advertising department!

Because these remind me of working on the paper, and every time I want to say, "Did they let the interns do this?" Horribly funny, even if it makes one depressed about the state of national politics. Laugh anyways. You need Flash to view these properly.

The DNC ad that started it all.

The GOP riposte.

God save us all from these people.
