Oh ba de, Oh ba dah - life is going on.

So. The job search = continuing.
I've applied at a few restaurants, a banquet catering service place, home depot, caribou coffee, and a catering company that specializes in pig roasts.  Some are promising... I'm low-key banking on this pig roast gig, we'll see what happens.
All in all though, this being unemployed thing is kind of nice... Not that I'm trying to stay jobless or anything, but I can't really remember the last time that I haven't had something I had to do - whether it be go to work, go to class, do homework, etc.   I haven't not had a job (with the exception of first semester my freshman year) since I was 16 and although I definitely/hopefully won't be jobless long enough to get used to it, maybe I could?

Here's a recap of what we've done since we were given the big F-fired.
Last Wednesday, the majority of my roommates and I went to the Twins game.  We played the Boston Red Sox & WE WON!  It was student night so tickets were only $7, and hotdogs were only a buck a piece: limit two.
This is Megan, she's from Wisconsin and a random for the summer as well.

These are a few more of our roommates and us by the field. The Twins play in the Metrodome, so its baseball inside... crazy.
Sorry it is sideways, but this is Jack- He swares up and down the Twins will win the World Series this year:  "Twins 09' - you heard it here first".

On Friday, Kramer and I did the critical mass in Minneapolis.  About two hundred people were there, along with many, many police officers on their bikes.  The critical mass has a history of violence all over the country, but in 07, the c.m. in the cities became a little out of hand as the cyclist began to beat the cars with their u-locks and the cops began to beat the cyclists.  So the message has changed a bit and instead of yelling "f**k cars" we all now yell "Happy Friday!" to everyone in passing.
We rode for two and a half hours straight all over the city and probably around 25-30  miles.  As we pulled back into Loring park, where we started, only a fraction of the group that started ended together, everybody else had pulled out along the way.  We were dead tired when we got home, but felt very accomplished.  Only three girls finished, and I was one of them... it was cool.

On Saturday Kramer and I decided to go on a little day adventure, and we got in the car to drive to Minnehaha Falls.  The park is located right outside of the city and has miles of bike paths, a restaurant and the best part, the water fall.  
Here is Kramer by the falls.
Here is the falls themselves, it was beautiful.  
Then we rented this bike/car thing for an hour to ride around on the bike paths.

I would say that we look very cute in it, buuut - it was much more difficult to ride than we would've thought.

So as you can see, we're having a good time.  Minneapolis is a great city, now if only we could find some income. 
P.S. - the hot sauce at taco bell was back to being orange... it is crazy.
