unemployment still sucks. i went to a waste of time job fair at highmark yesterday. maybe that'll pan out.
going to call some research studies today. i need money to feed my ridiculous appetite i've somehow cultivated lately. (i'm trying to put on weight to hibernate.)
philip pullman's his dark materials books (the golden compass, the subtle knife, and the amber spyglass) are all downright amazing books. I read them all this week and my roommates think I am silly for always being in the same position on the couch. these books blew my mind though. i wish I would have read them as a kid when they were first coming out. i would have lost my religion and believed in magic. (oh wait, i think that already happened in middle school.) anyway though. they blew twilight series out of the water for my favorite books i'm obsessed with lately.
i don't have much to say other than that. watched about 11 hours of football this weekend. (steelers!) i watched part of the eagles game in a bar by myself and talked to a respectable drunk man a few years younger than my parents. i felt alone and like a tourist in my city. he talked about pittsburgh when he was a kid and i felt very much homesick and like i don't belong here. he bought me a yuengling and told me i was alright.
