If I could talk to Obama...

Okay, here's the thing. Instead of trying to find out who to blame while the oil keeps gushing in to the Gulf, why don't we just go ahead and clean it up and THEN figure out who pays compensation? I don't care whose ass you have to kick, I care that there has been virtually nothing done in over a month and a half because you're trying so hard to make yourself look good. I'm tired of the "well it's not my mess" mentality. It IS your mess because it's here in America and it's affecting American jobs, wildlife, and ecology. I was taught growing up that it didn't matter whose mess it was, there was still a mess and it needed cleaning up. It's deplorable that you're using this time as an excuse to pass a new tax bill for "clean energy." Well use some of that energy you've got and clean up the Gulf.

Baking Time

Not as cute as these, but I'm going to try for some heart-shaped, rose-flavored pink sugar cookies that would make Cori Jo proud. I'm kind of excited. Hopefully my parents get used to my silly baking hours. But hey my car battery is dead, I have to keep myself entertained somehow :p

Still nothing...

The job front looks a little grim currently. All the opportunities I thought I had are falling through, as I kind of expected, but I'm trying to stay hopeful. I still haven't heard back from Anthropologie or THQ since I applied last week. Anthro even gave me an interview on the spot, but I was definitely wearing a tank top and sandals and was NOT prepared for it. I think I screwed that one up. THQ required you send in your resume with a cover letter, but they do not post this on their website where you apply.

Oh well. I'm thinking I'll apply at Coffee Bean again so I can get free caffeine, lol. I actually really liked that job for how much I complained about it.

In other news, I haven't really done anything since I got home. Except maybe cleaned a little and realized the amazing amount of absolute CRAP I own. I hung out with my friends some too, which is always entertaining and awesome. I never realize how much I miss them until I get back.

Registry

In light of receiving Tim and Allison's wedding invitation, I decided it was a good time to start making a list of registry things since I'm always hearing how hard it is to decide on things. Plus, I like to be specific about certain things. And just generally prepared...
