The most wonderful (and at the same time maddening) thing about this “job search” phase I’m stuck in is the extraordinary amount of free time I have (because, after all, there are only so many jobs I can apply to in a day). There are so many things I wish I could bring myself to do during this time to be more productive in all areas of my life, but I’m just not there yet. Instead, I do things that won’t help me at all in the long run but are still kind of fun.

I read a pretty sweet article the other day (http://mashable.com/2010/12/14/new-facebook-profile-hacks/) about the creative things people are doing with the new Facebook layout. I decided to kill an entire evening and try my luck at making my own! I went with a Christmas theme because I am a staunch Christmas traditionalist.
