Depressed, bored, and bumming around the house.
No job yet, and no real prospects.
Second-guessing all career and life choices. Whoo.
Watching too much Gilmore, working on little projects, should maybe do some writing.
I need soup. Or pie. Mmmm, pie.

If only...
I had a few thousand lying around.
Building my wish list for kitchen stuff, and it ain't cheap.
Knives, pots and pans, some appliances, china... I dream about Henckels.
*large sigh* Someday...

I gots a blog
So, trying this out over xanga. We'll see how it works.
Well, it is the beginning of July, over a month since the wedding, and six weeks since I graduated college. Whoo. I'm bored and jobless, waiting to hear back on the applications I've sent out. Looking for a restaurant job, or another baking job. What do you do with an English/History degree? Go work in a kitchen! The good news is I'll be sticking around here and NOT moving to Memphis. Actually got my apartment set up, move-in will be August 30th (free pizza and beer for moving volunteers!). I am so excited, since I'll be in the area I can get my season pass to RenFest this fall, so awesome. And staying around all my friends will be beyond great, I already have dinner parties planned in my head.
Well, most of the people who read this will have been at the wedding (hi Shawna :p), and I don't think I can say enough, thank you for being there. It was wonderful, I don't see you all nearly enough, and I loved "getting down" and partying with you. Other than a few hiccups and the one notable drama queen, everything was lovely and perfect. Wedding pictures are up, if you lost your info card the site is http://www.phoenixphotoduo.com. Click on wedding/portraits, then proofing, then scroll down until you see our names.
Ireland was, well, interesting. Gorgeous, and very green. The trip could have been planned better, and I do wish I had spent more time doing that. There were a few hotels/cities that should have just been skipped, and I would have liked to spend some more time in other areas. We were also kinda lazy, and added to being disorganized, probably missed a lot of stuff. But there were some great things. The weather was very kind, only a little rain, mostly beautiful partly cloudy days with 65-70 degree temperatures. Getting around by bus and train actually wasn't too bad, though we saw more of the countryside by bus. And the castles were awesome - even the hyped-up Blarney Castle. We actually stayed in one of the few castle hotels, Kilkea in county Kildare, beautiful country, and a very fine castle, built in 1150 or something. Renovated, of course, and it was awesome and definitely the best splurge of the trip. Didn't see too much of Dublin, but did fit in some of the sights. And we did the Dublin pub crawl, which was fun and I didn't get too drunk. The trip turned me on to spiced rum and cokes, which are expensive in Europe by the way, since you have to pay for the shot and the coke, which will run you 8-9 euros. Visited Boston on the way back, damn I love that city - I still want to live there, or at least visit once a year.
So, that's a good-sized update. I'll talk to everyone later.
