Get me out of here

I've been trying to find a job in either art or design because I graduate in April and it'd be nice to know my options. Utah has zero opportunities. There is a staggering lack of art museums around here. The only design job I found is for Bassett Furniture. I don't want to be a salesman. I don't do well with sales. I want to work for an actual interior design firm where I actually design, not sell existing furniture and just help people arrange it. Graphic design jobs are everywhere, interior design is nowhere. We need to move to Dallas. Or New York City or somewhere equally job-equipped. Or I need to open my own business, but there's no point here because we're moving to some unknown state in a year and a half. My mom is gathering up a list of all the architecture firms she used to work with while she was working here. Hopefully there will be a design job somewhere in there.

It's Jeremy's birthday tomorrow. He'll be 25. He's getting golf clubs (fairway woods, not a whole set of clubs because that's crazy expensive and he already has a set), a bowling ball, and an iPod nano. I got a bowling ball too because there's no point in getting one for one of us and having the other use a ball that doesn't fit their hands. Hopefully I'll like bowling more with my own ball and my own shoes (I can't wear bowling shoes from the alley--gross). We joined the Tucano's birthday club for both of us, so we each get a free meal for our birthdays. That was fun. But Jeremy is saving The Spaghetti Factory for his birthday night dinner because their free birthday dessert is out-of-this-world better than the ones they charge for. It's amazing.

Apple is coming out with a new shuffle in 2gb. I have a green, pink and silver one already (one for the gym, one for rock and one for pop music). I caught a glimpse of new colors, but now I can't find it anywhere on the internet. There was a fantastic plum colored one that I feel a need to purchase. I'm hoping they actually do come in that color. If so, that'll be my "favorite songs" shuffle.
