new year, new you.

as for above, that's what i keep hearing, and i'm sure you do too. so my new year's resolution is to blog more...just kidding. if you thought leaving you hanging for two weeks was bad, how did you feel about the two months?

the past two months in review...living back at home has taken some adjustments. it does have it's advantages though. mainly, free food, no rent, free gym membership, free cable...you get the drift. thanksgiving was wonderful as always. definitely lots of turkey, mashed potatoes, pies, etc. involved there. christmas came and went as it always does. some surprises on christmas morning, but mostly just the formality of opening the gifts i've already picked out. don't get me wrong, i like picking out my gifts and genuinely love christmas and everything that comes along with the holiday season. but, ever since i cracked the case on old mr. claus, christmas isn't as magical as it used to be. the fam took the annual trek up to cincinnati for brief holiday merriment with all the relatives.

as for the job search, not so much. the economy is just as terrible as i left it. i will most likely be devoting the next few months to babysitting as nothing else seems a terribly viable option. it took me about, oh a week, to figure out that this job thing isn't all it's cracked up to be. as an effort to defy the economy and unemployment i decided to apply to grad schools because taking out thousands of dollars in school loans sure beats unemployment. i'll reveal the details all in good time.

on a lighter note, i slightly enjoy being unemployed, minus the whole lack of money thing. i have time to work out everyday, catch up on tv shows, and watch lots of movies. i'm slowing working through both entourage and arrested development. i've also been watching far too much glee (which i am obsessed with, btw). i've also got a nice stack of books just waiting to be read. i recently finished the brief wondrous life of oscar wao by junot diaz. currently i am reading the glass castle by jeannette walls and her fearful symmetry by audrey niffenger (author of the time traveler's wife--one of my top 10 favorites).

obviously this isn't a full account of the past two months, but let's be honest, not much has been happening these days. i promise not to neglect the blog for two months again, regardless of how boring things may seem.

happy 2010!
