Just As Exciting As I Sound

So, the big plan that I devised yesterday didn't really work out. Well - parts of it did - I got in my car, I got a resume, and I bravely crossed the street. Upon approaching the door, there was an obstacle I hadn't really thought of. The door was locked.

I shouldn't have been surprised. This is midtown Memphis, and lots of offices keep their doors locked. (When I worked downtown last summer, we didn't keep the door locked, and sometimes, angry homeless women would come in and yell at us for no real reason. That creates an environment not really conducive to working.) I stood there for a minute, feeling a little dejected. They probably also keep their doors locked to keep out overzealous, unemployed recent graduates. We can be dangerous, you know. I decided against just slipping an unsolicited resume into their mail slot and slinked back across the street to my car.

I'm feeling alright today, though. I've applied for a few more positions, and I'm really trying not to worry about it. My Big Memphis Freakout can't get the best of me, or I'm going to miss out on all of the fun things to do around here.

Last night, in desperate need of some fun, Colin and I went to the P&H for open mic stand up comedy night. Yes, it is just as risky as it sounds. Three or four of the comics were really good. Unfortunately, they were strategically placed at the very beginning and the very end, forcing the rest of us to sit through an hour of porn jokes in the middle. All in all, it wasn't too bad, and Brandon, the host, is really great.

Tonight will be a little different. I'm about to out myself as a super girlnerd here, but damn, if I don't love some Gilmore Girls. Anyway, tonight is the series finale, and I (like most people with ovaries and some of our significant others) are really pushing for a Lorelai / Luke reunion. So, while Colin and my other friends get hammered and answer questions at the P&H Trivia Night, my friend Linsey and I will be on her couch, munching on junk food and making "awww" noises. It's going to be awesome!

For now, though, I've got to go rotate my laundry. The ratio of clean underwear to dirty underwear was a little disproportionate.

cleanliness is admired,
