Accomplishments of Unemployment

Yesterday I made guacamole from scratch. A feat I've accomplished before, but usually it's for a reason such as a party, gathering, Mexican Night, what have you. This time, I made it because as a member of the Unemployed Elite, I have a lot of time to fill and need feel the need to fill it productively (on top of the hours spent on cover letters). So, in honor of this idea, I made it a goal to try to accomplish one seemingly out of the ordinary feat per day and document it. On top of my unending search through all the websites, newspapers, and emails for a job, I will attempt to do something I've been talking about, thinking about, and meaning to do at least once a day. The plan is that this will continue after I finally accomplish the job deal.

The other day I made a bracelet from the Valentine's Day Friendship Bracelet Kit Zack got me. Yesterday I made guacamole. Today I made fudge (and I think it's low fat fudge, because I used low fat items, but that could really mean nothing, so who knows, but it'd be fun to pretend that it's not as bad for you as it could be...but I digress). Let's see what I am able to accomplish!

It's definitely not professional, but I like it.

What is now left of my guac. Mmm!

My Unemployment Crutch is the Disney Channel

An interesting thing has happened in the last month and a half of my unemployment adventure. Whereas some of the unemployed turn to alcohol, food, perhaps a semi-illegal substances during this time period, I have turned to the Disney Channel. Yes the Disney Channel. I'm talking about all of the Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana...), Wizards of Waverly Place, Sonny with a Chance, High School Musicals 1 and 2 (HM3 is far too big to simply be played on the actual channel) ridiculousness that has infected the youth of the new millenium has now, also affected me. I know the story line of Wizards of Waverly Place, and I know the Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez are in fact best friends in real life. In my defense, I'm not a huge fan of those twins from Suite Life of Whatever, or of the Jonas Brothers (show or otherwise). But, I understand if that's not much of a defense. This might not surprise some because of my admitted attraction to Zac Efron - which has somewhat waned - but it is a surprise to my Law and Order, CSI: Las Vegas, How I Met Your Mother loving self. Somewhere deep inside, I have the desire to be constantly cheered up by attractive actors in bright colored studio televsion sets with the ability to wrap up a problem in 30 minutes or less. And this desire is being filled by the Disney Channel. I'm sure there's some sort of psychological issue there. Oh well, I'm sure there's a Disney show about it coming right up.
