OH MY GOD I AM THE WORST BLOGGER EVER.
I recognize that this blog has been stagnant as of late, and I promise that I plan on rectifying that soon. I have all kinds of ideas, and all kinds of CAPITAL LETTERS and unnecessary punctuation!!!!?~ that need an outlet.
But today I had an 11 hour work day. And tomorrow starts early.
Things you guys will soon hear about:
1) I got a kitty!!!!!!!!!!1 meow.
2) I have some deep-seated glass-is-half-empty issues that need to be blogged out.
3) I want to give teenagers some advice
4) My summer Happy Place, which I promised you last winter.
So, for realz, blog posts are coming. Don't give up on me. This has just been a particularly busy time at work, so my time spent at home has been rather anti-computer screens.
I have two ways to make it up to you. Both are courtesy of Adrienne, of course.
1) Selleck, Waterfall, Sandwich
2) Pinup RDJ

A Whole New Look, That's Where We'll Be. A Thrilling Chase, A Wonderous Place, For You And Me
New blog look! This one's got a little more personality in it than that bland olive did. I like it. How 'bout you?
Don't get too seriously settled on it. I might keep it forever, I might not. Most of that is dependent on whether or not I can convince Adrienne that amongst all the people who are willing to pay her in real money, that a coffee and a cwoissant from a friend who wants her CS skillz is also quite valuable in its own way. For now I am working on WHY that is...I'm going to have to ponder.
In the meantime, perhaps an angry, farting whale will convince her?

People I Saw On My Walk To Millenium Park
1) The second large-chested African American woman this week using her cleavage as a cell phone holster.
2) A gay couple deciding that they would visit Dollywood this year.
3) A family of Germans. The blonde sons were wearing matching Rugby shirts. On the back instead of someone's last name, it just said "COLLEGE".
4) A crazy homeless woman wearing leather pants.
I don't judge. I just observe.

Last Thursday: A Story In Pictures
Thanks for reading, guys! I love you all. Feel free to follow on Facebook for updates and other things I say when Joe isn't around to absorb my random comments. Also feel free to pass along to others. That's how this whole internet thing works, I hear.

Coming Soon: A Story In Pictures
I had an idea for a post yesterday called DO RIGHT in which I talked about companies and politicians and how they need to DO RIGHT and not be total dickwads all the time.
It was just one of those days, you know? Where nothing huge and terrible happened, but every little thing built up until I burst into tears because I had walked a block too far from my el stop. I wanted to make a cartoon about it, as I am wont to do, but I was too emotionally distraught all evening to do it. But I'm giving it some distance, and I'll post it soon. Hopefully it will be funny in retrospect. Plus it does involve yogurt, bruises and my slow and painful demise. So yeah. Should be a good one.
In the end, the thing that calmed me down was this video. Because I'm Emily and I use 70's Gonzo to cheer me up when I'm feeling blue.

The Job Saga: Tentative High Fives All Around
Let me preface this by telling you that I just ate some old spaghetti sauce and since Joe is gone this week, if no one hears from me for a while, I may or may not have just given myself food poisoning. Just a head's up.
So for today I give you an update on my employment status. SO MUCH FUN, I know. I know. The thing is, they love me at this internship. I am the best freakin' intern they've ever known to exist (paraphrasing.) They want to hire me. But--
*HERE'S SOMETHING NO ONE'S EVER HEARD BEFORE*
--they're on a hiring freeze. Wah wah waaaaaaahhhh. Is anyone else getting really tired of this whole economy thing? I mean, it was all fun and games a year ago, but come on now. Let's all go out and buy a pair of jeans and kick-start this puppy on up, hmm?
Anway, they DID manage to keep us (me and my partner) on for two extra weeks. And we'll see what happens after that. Gunna try all I can to keep myself there. Because, honestly, I really like it. Everyone is awesome. I'm learning a LOT. I'm selling a sh*t ton of ads. And, let's face it. If I get to be there full time...
THIS GETS TO HAPPEN
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer
....eeeeeeeer.
...eer.
So I'm keeping my fingers crossed, bowing toward Mecca, getting in some girl time with Mary, fasting a little extra during Rosh Hashanah, shaking my fist at religious billboards (or whatever an Athiest would do to make good things happen...try?) because I'm serious about doing all that I can about this.
Sorry for another short post. I'm in the process of writing one tentatively called To The Class of 2003: A Rewrite. It might take a little while. In the meantime, won't you be my Facebook fan? then you'll know when I actually post something! And get bonus Sesame Street clips! Good times all around, and that's no jive.
OH! And I'm also enlisting Adrienne to help stop this blog from being such an eye sore, so watch for that.
