Um. I just applied for a job at Hot Topic. I don't think I'll work there. I just did it out of desperation. And I don't think I need to be that desperate yet. But maybe I do.

AIM IM with ashleyblewer.

I have an interview at Hot Topic on Sunday for a manager position. Shoot me now. And then make a T-shirt of it, so I can wear that to my interview.
and btw, I think that might be the funniest thing I've ever said, which means I'll have to repeat it for the next two weeks. I'm so desperate. But in a self-deprecating, not really desperate kind of way.

This is where I used to work

Puggle

Oscar and I went into a pet store at the mall on Saturday. A puggle is now the cutest dog I've ever seen. Except for any dog I've ever had. And my aunt and uncle's Samoyed puppies.


And Rufus, the bugg (pug-Boston terrier mix) next door to my parents.

What's up with designer dogs? I'm pretty sure Rufus was just an accidental mutt. But seriously. Labradoodles? Puggles? People are paying way to much money for cute, glorified mutts.

Destroyer of brownies

I baked brownies last night. They were still warm when Oscar called me from Crazy Horse, a bar on W. Kirkwood, which is apparently a B-town staple. I left the brownies, uncovered, sitting on the counter. I almost had a mini-heart attack on the road. Oh shit, Destroyer's gonna eat the effing brownies. Only, Destroyer's 700 miles away. *mope* But I met some nice seeming people. They talked about photons. Like torpedoes? Nope, like real photons. Fortunately, I decided not to go the endearing ditz route by saying something about futons. Eesh.

Fuck Quark

Fuck Quark. Go InDesign. Whyyyyyy did I have to choose InDesign. Gah

Bloomington, IN

We made it, safe and sound. I love Panera for their free wi-fi. And tasty sandwiches.
Driving slowly saves a ton of gas. I stayed behind Oscar in the Penske truck (half the price of U-Haul), and of course he couldn't go very fast. So I got around 35 mpg. Which is good for my car which says it will get 32 hwy.

And so, Friday at half past noon, I arrived at our apartment. Thirty minutes later, Oscar arrived, and the (horrible, I need to drink more water and start weight training) unloading began. About four hours later, we returned the truck and came home with a frozen pizza (which we almost burned). We might also have a default restaurant. Macri's Deli. They hand bread their mozzarella sticks. They have homemade spinach artichoke dip with actual chunks of artichoke. So delicious. Anytime someone comes to Btown, I'm taking them there. Except Ashley, because I'm not sure of their vegetarian options. We may have also found our Chinese take-out place. They're a little pricey ($10 entrees) for take-out, but they have these spring rolls that are pretty close to the ones at Thai Taste in Spartanburg.

On a home front note, my brother wrecked the Camaro, and is lucky to be alive, much less minimally injured. The car, despite appearances is totaled, as the frame was bent by a tree. And since my brother is okay, I can mourn the loss of the car.

I'll post pictures of apartment soon...ish. My aunt and uncle gave me an unbelievable camera as an early birthday/going away present.
