Ok several thoughts....
1) What is up with blogger selling paraphenalia? I know that Blogger is a huge trend (I even know some people who went to blogger parties-- ha ha ha), but sweatshirts? I'm thinking that is going a little bit too far.
2) What is up with the rain? Will it ever stop? I am from a desert and didn't know it could rain this much. It is starting to be depressing, and not just because it is rain, but because I finally have an apartment building with a really nice pool that I can't use. I tried one time, but it started raining while I was swimming and the life guard made me get out. Remind me to never move to Seattle, but speaking of lots of rain:
3) I love Japan! Yesterday AEON gave me a job offer to teach for them in Fukui-ken in Japan. For those of you who know about Japan, that is in the prefecture below Ishikawa-ken. I'm very very very excited about this. I will be leaving for Japan October 24!
4) I am leaving my current job at the law firm (today is my last day), and for the rest of the summer will be working at an IT firm in Tyson's Corner. I'm also very happy about this new development. I think there are some hard feelings at my old job, but honestly my bosses never treated me well enough that I care if they are unhappy with me now. They have given me so little responsibility (aka none) or respect that I don't feel like I am even inconviencing them by leaving. My main boss has given me nothing more interesting than shredding paper since I came back in January. Some of the paralegals have given me better projects, but if my boss has nothing for me to do but shred her old paper then there is a problem. She also behaved very unprofessionally when I told her I was leaving, so I think that reaffirms my decision more than before that this is not someone that I want to be working with or for.
5) My last thought is that I love my friends. Randomly there were lots of people in my apartment last night, and I realized how much fun my friends are. I think that it is going to be hard to leave everyone when it comes time to go to Japan, because I've realized that most of the bonds between my friends and I are based on conversation (we are debaters). E-mail just isn't the same. The conversations play off of eachother, puns are made (sometimes very bad puns), but it's not the type of relationships that would necessarily last long distance. I will have to consider this more deeply before continuing to write about it.
On to the fun part: Amusing jokes about the democrats (not original, but funny none the less. the only thing missing is a few Kucinich jokes)
"Florida Senator Bob Graham announced that he is running for president despite the fact that he went through a double-bypass earlier this year. Political experts don't give Graham much chance because his campaign slogan is 'I'm a little healthier than Dick Cheney.'" —Conan O'Brien
"Well folks it's started, the presidential race. Democratic Senator John Edwards of North Carolina, who is also a personal injury attorney, has announced he is running for president in 2004. Good slogan too, 'Elect me and there will be one less lawyer.'" —Jay Leno
"According to a new CBS poll, 66 percent of Americans cannot name a single Democratic candidate running for president. The other 34 percent are Democratic candidates running for president." —Jay Leno
"Did you hear about the controversy surrounding the Joe Lieberman campaign? Turns out years ago he may have experimented with charisma." —Craig Kilborn
"There was a big grease fire at Al Sharpton's office today. Apparently, his hair got too close to the space heater." —Jay Leno
