I hate that there is no snow on the ground, and that there probably won't be on Christmas.
2. I hate shopping. especially around the holidays. especially on Michigan Avenue. especially where there is a bunch of slow-walkers just a'wandering around when i am trying to stop at 5 different places all over the Loop.
3. I hate that i don't know what my boyfriend has gotten me for Christmas. jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06436294369179323485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139379.post-79067782001-12-13T16:01:00.000-06:002001-12-13T16:01:28.000-06:00I'm in love with VoiceStream wireless's commercial featuring Panda Claus. and one for some airline which features a rather rotund man scurrying across the screen making funny Three Stooges-esque noises. i need to watch less tv.

the reason i've not been blogging is that when i am on the computer looking for jobs. In the past few days i have sent my resume to playboy, the field museum, the planetarium, the gene siskel film center, the aquarium, the chicago historical society, the art institute, southern records, and then a ton of crappy places too.
i need a job horribly.

Friday:
I was late to the Superchunk show because "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" was on. I love Peanuts to death, especially Sally and Linus, so i got sucked in. I got to the Superchunk show right after The Good Life ended, bellied up to the bar and got a Budwesier and stood by myself people watching. I ran into my ex Sean, and his friend Shawn, and my friends from college, jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06436294369179323485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139379.post-71770392001-11-16T13:47:00.000-06:002001-11-16T13:47:14.930-06:00i just got my hair cut, and it's like Louise Brooks. it's okay i guess. eh.
i'm busy at work, and i hate it. i am posting this as fast as i can.
i'll have a good review of the superchunk show tomorrow, and the first trivia question where you could win a brand new cd posted on monday.
that is all, THE MAN is calling again. probably another memo that i have to redo for the 4,000th time. jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06436294369179323485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139379.post-71547562001-11-15T16:59:00.000-06:002001-11-15T16:59:42.000-06:00quick random things before i race my ass out of this place today....
**craptastic--best adjective for my day thus far. i'm leaving the 5th circle of hell in a few minutes, so craptastic will most likely be upgraded to "eh" for the train ride home, "whew" when i walk through the door of my apartment, and "par-tay" when i crack my first beer.
