With hands thrown up in the air in a pose of "Why - Why!" I am trying not to submit to the overwhelming feelings of self-doubt and defeat, but it is getting really hard.
Instead I will share some of the things that have made me smile over the past few days.
1) I have completed just short of 12 of the 17 pattern repeats of the first half of the center panel of my Blind Assassin Stole.
Reason Number 314 of why I love to knit: Waiting is no longer done in vain. Regardless of my disappointment in not having a job I do have something very beautiful to show for my fret filled weekend. I love this stole. The Silk/Cashmere looks and feels wonderful. I also feel like a little fairy knitting with the triple zeros. There is one (okay 12 so far - eventually 34) bit of Wabi Sabi - one stitch in each pattern repeat is suppose to be a slip, slip, slip, knit 3 together - I have just been knitting 3 together like the stitch 6 rows below. Its okay, its the Assassin's Wabi Sabi. 2) My wonderful roommate Dan found this hysterical cartoon, Unicorn Planet. You can watch the first two episodes here. Dan and I especially enjoy singing the theme song. (Heyyy!) The episodes are really short and stream right over UTube - you won't regret it.
3) I was annalysing my account with blog counter and found this link in my "Top 30 Referers" - http://www.google.fr/blogsearch?hl=fr&q=sundara%20cherry%20blossom&lr=
Which brought me to a query done on Google: Recherche de Blogs. It was a Google Blog Search site - in French. After a Google search of "Google blog search" I found "Google Blog Search." I think this is pretty cool - and since my French is tres mal, it's a good thing I found the English version, right sisterjaan?
4) I had a wonderful time spinning with Tawana, Hila, and Tomo, from Sit N' Knit New York's spinning meetup on Sunday. It is so wonderful doing something that you are truly bad at with people that you truly like! Oh, not to worry drop spindle of mine, I will master you yet!
Tomorrow I am going to buy a new pair of "inteviewesque" walking shoes and begin planning my mission to bring - in person - my resume to every ultrasound department within an hour of my apartment. HEYYY! (If you watched Unicorn Planet you would have sung along with that!)

Yay for spinning! The stole is looking gorgeous. Sorry to hear about the job. It just means that something even better is going to come along.
I can't wait to see you Saturday and show you the fruits of my labor...and yours!! I know the right job will come your way!! just keep on knitting. Wish I coulda been ther with you guys and your spindles...
Allena Beth - So sorry Maine didn't work out for you! Evidently - they suck. Something good is coming your way. You are doing a great job of staying positive! I hope Feathers, Tom Cruise, Cadillac, and the gang from our neighborhood (you know who I mean) work their magic and make the stars align for you... soon.
hey homegirl. so much about the job search is impersonal. you are going to be an amazing addition to an office or hospital. I have no doubt in my mind. I miss you and love you.
let's give it up for feathers..
ooooh cadillac
Tom Cruise
please be assured that I have spread this joy around doha (well, the one bar that is within walking distance of our horrible desert oasis) and have taught many to sing the theme song.
pure genius
I am so sorry you didn't get the job. But, I love your Blind Assassin stole. I also loved the Blind Assassin book--I hope you eyesight doesn't deteriorate by the end of the stole!!
