I may have good news on the job front, but I don't want to write about it and perhaps jinx it till it happens. In this shaky world of ours, I'm not going on anything till it happens in real time. Talk is cheap and action is the only thing that really counts.

Check this book out, The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shin. I read this book whenever I'm looking for a new job, and it helps, it really really helps somehow.

I wonder if San Francisco Supervisor Matt Gonzalez's announcement that he won't run for reelection is just some ploy to get his supporters to beg him to stay in politics. Talk about a great way to get publicity.

Announce your leaving politics forever, have your supporters start a campaign to beg you not to leave, and then tell the media how everyone loves you and supports you too much for you to leave. Announce your triumphant return to San Francisco politics.

We shall see.

I was on the 41 Union bus that goes through the Marina tonight, on my way to a roastery to buy coffee. A chick gets on the bus with another girl carrying a Coach shopping bag.

The two women sit down and the chick takes a shoe box out of the bag, and starts to show her friend her new Coach brand flip flops, ie rubber slippers. They're called the Carin Sandal.

Okay, so I know it's like Coach and all, but $70 for rubber slippers with a 1 1/4 inch heel. Come on. How Marina girl can you get?

I spent most of the weekend in bed with allergies. I'm getting desperate, and if the allergies won't go away I'm going to try Claritin. Claritin can be bought over the counter now, and everyone I know says it's great.

I have a second midterm exam for my film history class on Thursday, so I did end up studying on both days. Still it's so not fun to cooped up at home afraid to go out, because being outside makes me sneeze and stuffs up my nose.

The hot weather here is such a drag for my allergies. But I'm not the only one. There are a ton of people at work complaining about their allergies as well.
