So when it comes to landing a job in communications, getting The Washington Post to publish an op-ed you wrote for a client is a very good thing. I showed my portfolio to a woman who heads the pr department of a non-profit, and she was impressed. I might embark on her same career track -- do communications at a non-profit for a year or two, and then move to a pr firm or larger company.

If you know of any D.C. openings in pr or communications, let me know and I'll forward you my resume. Do not take this as an opportunity to obtain my address and phone number, Boi from Troy.

The apartment situation is looking up, too. I'm trying to find a place in Columbia Heights or U Street, so, once again, forward me any leads.

Today Agatha was kind enough to give me a winning Pepsi cap rather than throw it into the garbage, so I bought the most random mp3 from iTunes: Mariah Carey's new single, "It's Like That." Um, okay, I'll tell you what it's like: a big fat steaming pile of shit. Augh. When it comes to Mariah's career, somebody needs to make like Terri Schiavo and pull the plug.
