job woes

i've been consumed with trying to figure out what it is i want to do with my life. for a long time i thought i wanted to be a children's book editor. and now that i'm a children's book editor, i'm thinking i have possibly made a mistake. granted, it would be different if i were working on the new gossip girl book, or at least some kind of goosebumps-like series. or cookbooks--that would be fun. instead, i'm editing titles to teach kids to improve their reading comprehension and problem solving skills. SNOOZE.

so i've made a list of the things i like to do, in the hopes that i can get a clearer idea of what career i should pursue.

-internet shopping
-internet stalking
-shopping
-reading
-cats
-cooking
-looking at engagement rings on the internet

clearly, i am meant to flounder aimlessly through my life, trying on careers that will eventually be so boring that i'll contemplate sticking sharpened pencils in my eyes for entertainment value. is this my fate? this sucks.

my day so far

this morning i saw rachel dratch. then after art school confidential at angelika, sarah and i saw jon voight. sarah got his autograph, and i think she got a little mad at me when i accidentally creased the corner of the signed color copy of jon voight's head.

then i went to crate and barrel and bought a vase. because i needed a fifteenth vase.

lionel is starting a new medicine that the vet said would "restart his nervous system." sounds scary. but his obsessive tail-chasing is really problematic. if this doesn't work, we'll have to hire a cat behaviorist. fucking ridiculous.

dinner tonight at counter with evan. and tomorrow sue, ali, and i are going to shopsin's, the most delicious weirdo brunch place ever. i feel like i've been going there a lot lately. so many people haven't been and it's just too good not to share.

i want to move. i don't know if brooklyn is far enough. i want to move to kentucky or missouri.
