Work all day, more money for play :D

Yay! I've finally scored a job..well...at least until march! Which means I won't have as much time to blog, but at least I'll have money to pay off my student loans. Hopefully I can keep on working there for many more months. Please cross your fingers for me as I would like a full-time occupation :) Have any of you guys gotten lucky on the job market lately? It's tough, but I believe the patience usually pays off if you work hard enough!

Frenchiiiiie!

One day, when I've grown up (don't! just don't!) and settled down with an apartment of my own I plan on purchasing a dog. For some years I've thought about getting a Parson Jack Russell terrier...but they are like dogs with ADD on ecstacy! So after doing some internet research (a.k.a. Google) I've decided that the dog for me is a french bulldog; they are cute, small and have big ears just like me so we can look like a family. I have already lined up lots of silly names for him/her :) Like Doug, Croque Monsieur, French Fry, Boo, Booey, Derp, Tuborg, Pooch or Zelda! Anyone else have good doggy names?

C is for cookie and cookie is for me!

Instead of buying candy for my saturday evening fun I decided to bake cookies after a recipe from www.passionforbaking.com. So tonight I'm munching on brownie cookies with a peanut butter frosting. A tip: there is only need for about 80% of the frosting from the recipe as it is extremely filling so don't bother making the amount stated! They are really good and the cookies are good on their own as well! Yummy :) Anyone else baking tonight?

Hunger Games

On the 23rd of March, the film adaption of the popular young adults novel "Hunger Games" hits theaters. As I am a literary geek I of course had to read the book before I see the movie. Saturday night I downloaded the kindle version and yesterday I downloaded the second book in the trilogy! Sometimes I get so involved in a story I need to finish it all in one sitting (Chronicles of Narnia had the same effect on me). From what I've seen of the trailers the casting seems pretty spot on so I'm excited to see what Panem and the arena look like! I guess I'm really into futuristic dystopias at the moment considering I fell in love with "Ready Player One" before christmas. Guess I'll be downloading the final book any day now ;) Anybody else reading the Hunger Games at the moment? Excited about the movie?

A hairy situation

Everyone's been there...the moment in your existence where no matter what you do with it your hair pisses you off! Even my hair seems to be getting sick of itself as instead of bouncy curls and waves it just hangs listlessly past my shoulders. Sadly my favorite hairdresser has dissappeared so I need to go hunting for a new one and I am dying for a dye job! A major dye job...I'm thinking a copper red or something along those lines. Any suggestions? I'm deadly pale so most colors work for me...and I am not going blonde! Mostly because I don't have the money/patience for the upkeep. Does anybody know any good hairdressers that are good with hair and don't charge a fortune? I think my hair might be depressed so if anybody can get me a good hairdresser who can work as a therapist as well I will reward you with a hug!

Mac, mac, mac, MacGyver!!

At my gym they keep showing re-runs of MacGyver, that awesome action show from the 80's that I remember so fondly from my childhood! All of a sudden I'm back to being a fangirl and swooning all over Richard Dean Anderson while warming up on the elliptical machine. Awesome guy who uses the weirdest things to get himself out of trouble! Outwitting criminals with a paperclip anyone? Swoon away...

Break a sweat

This is a rant, so if you don't wanna hear it go to youtube and watch puppy videos instead! I have finally become the kind of person I used to hate...the kind that actually enjoys working out and feels bad when I miss my workout session *hanging my head shamefully*. So yesterday I was at the gym and am getting ready to shower when this sixteen year old skips into the changing rooms. Girlfriend was wearing a sweater and there wasn't a drop of sweat on her forehead!? Now I was wearing a Nike Dri-fit (<3) shirt and I was dripping! Ok...so some people don't have hyperactive sweat glands, but still!!She was wearing a goddamn sweater and NOTHING! I'll admit, I'm not blind, I see the youngins' hanging around the gym all the time. They usually walk around in little groups (herds is what I call them) and while one guy/girl is using the machine the rest stand around and talk. Whereas I used to hang out in coffeeshops or somebodys livingroom at that age it seems like the gym has become the new hangout. They might as well start selling coffee and putting a couch by the elliptical machines! Note to self: get better headphones so I can run without constant giggling in the background!
