TV for the Unemployed
I watch a lot of TV. I don’t have a lot of shows on my schedule, but I leave CNN on almost all day when I am home job hunting. I don’t leave the house much as I can’t afford gas or food out. My issue: commercials… they depress me! I see commercials about investing, …

Red Headed & Hopeful
This past Friday, I had an interview at the exact department of Disney that I had been wanting to work out since I started working for Disney in 2006! It’s Brand Management – for the whole company! Not only do I meet all of the qualifications and have the experience to do the job, I …

Almost Thursday!
Holy crap, where did the week go? I have so much to do, yesterday! I can’t even figure out how to go back to Monday and get more shit done. It’s not like I am working! I really need to get some photos edited and some post cards made to market my photography. I also …

MLK Day
Today is MLK Day, and the day before Inauguration Day. I can’t believe that we finally will have a new President tomorrow! Though times are really rough right now, but having a great President in office will mean that intelligent decisions will be made that will help people in the long run! I’m so excited! …

Tempeh Cheese “Steak” Sandwiches
I made this amazing sandwich tonight! I am super full now too! Most of you know that I don’t eat meat. I also hate onions. I rarely cook with garlic these days due to the overwhelming after-taste. I like my food to be yummy, full of flavor, filling, and contain lots of nutrients. I am …

Food for One
Over the past year, I have been trying to learn how to cook more vegetarian items. Sadly, I’ve encountered much failure, though I have come up with a few great meals. What I really want to learn is how to cook tempeh, firm tofu, seitan and quinoa without soy sauce or having to pan fry! …

I Want a 5D Mark II and a Massage!
I shot a reception tonight, and it went very well. I got some great shots, but having to use 800 ISO in low light conditions with a 40D is just not giving me the quality I want! I really want a Canon 5D Mark II. I know that I could easily use 800 with that …

6pm
It’s almost 6pm, and I’m exhausted! I didn’t sleep well last night. I finally passed out around 2:15am. I couldn’t get out of bed til after 10am. Not good. The cats were pissed! After breakfast and some job hunting, I jogged 2 miles on the elliptical, which was great! Lyse & I then called my …

What Day is It?
I woke up this morning and headed to a staffing agency in Arcadia for an interview. They really like me, and they didn’t make me take those annoying Office tests. They don’t get Project Management positions often, but now I’m on file… so, we’ll see! I had lunch with Bobby, then spent the next two …

A New Day
I woke up at 9:30am today, which is good for me since I’ve been going to sleep after 2am almost every night. I started job hunting immediately, having some cereal during a quick break. I sent resumes and emailed recruiters until 3pm, stopping quickly for lunch around 1pm. I cuddled with Gracie for a short …

Week Day, Weekend, Same Thing…
When you are unemployed, it’s hard to tell the weekends from the week days – especially when your partner is off work on vacation. I spent the last week sick with an awful flu. I am recovering well, but am still a bit light-headed and weak. I can’t believe it’s already a week into January! …

Favorite Movies of 2008
In order of release, here are my favorite new movies of 2008 (that I saw). I am sure there are other amazing movies that I should see, and there are many on my list that I still want to see from this past year; but, if you have any in mind to recommend to me, …
