What to say about this week? Well, for me it was a week of unemployment, since I finished classes at Scottsdale Culinary Institute on July 25th. You would think that a week's "vacation" would be awesome. But since I'm used to starting my day at 5:00 AM, I found myself restless by 11:00 each day, wondering what the hell I should do with myself for the rest of the day since I managed to check everything off of my to do list. I have a big job interview on August 7th, so please put some positive vibes out into the universe for me.

As for TBP, it's been another great week of news you can use. Here's the best of the best.
