Extraordinary Gentlemen - SCN

Mike and Danielle took me out to see League of Extraordinary Gentlement tonight. I liked it :D Had some of the best CGI effects I've seen in quite some time. In fact, the movie was really all about the graphics...and the fight scenes. In that sense it was just a straight up action adventure movie, no plot just lots of explosions a lot of hand to hand combat. Which was just fine cuase...ya know...that's what an action movie is supposed to be all about.

I'm discovering that I really love action adventure films. I'd even go as far as to say that it's my favorite genre of movie. Seriously, you just cannot beat The Matrix, Con Air, The entire Indiana Jones trilogy. Those are just fun shoot em up, knock em down movies. Maybe this plays into my fascination with dead bodies, did I ever tell you about that?

I've realized that all of my favorite television shows revolve around dead bodies, for example: Law & Order, Buffy, Homicide, all the programming on Court TV. Without dead bodies these shows have no point. Now I dunno what all this says about as an individual but it is a little weird that I enjoy violence in my movies and death in my television.

But on to brighter and sunnier topics...

Teiwaz got out today at 3:30, and true to his word at 3:40 my telephone rang. I can't tell you how much better he sounded. His speech was coherent, his thought process was clear, and he sounded almost jubilent. He didn't accuse me of being part of the world wide conspiracy against him. He just sounded like his good ole normal self. It was very refreshing. He says the stay didn't really help him any but if what I heard today is any indication, then it had more of an effect than he currently realizes.

Ooo, just checked my hotmail and found a couple of emails from Theresa. I swear that woman is a god send. Not only has she taken the time to create a monster.com account for me, but she has been sending my resume out to people she thinks may be interested in it! How wonderful is that? So maybe instead of the 20 some odd resumes Mike sent out for me, including Theresa and her leg work, I might have gotten out close to 40. SWEET!!! I am so lucky to have come in contact with her. She truly is a wonderful resource and a great ally to have.

She also told me how Josh is doing. The Bar is a little over a week away and he is still flunking all of his practice tests. She says he is freaking out so bad. He's getting so uptight she's considering eliminating him. Hahaha. Well, at least I know why he hasn't called me. He said he'd call me before the bar but if he's as stressed as Theresa says he is, then I can understand why he hasn't. I hope he passes. He'll be crushed if he has to take it more than once. On the other hand, if he fails maybe he'll come down from his fucking high horse. Or it might just make him pissier.

I hope he passes.

I'm Lucky

Hi Livejournal,

Got an email from Josh's roomate Theresa last night. God bless that woman, she's been sending out my resume whenever she hears of a job I might be interested in. She also took the time to register me on monster.com without any kind of prompting. I swear this woman is a life saver!!! It's so comforting to know that there is someone other than myself who is crazy dedicated to finding me a job. Heh, maybe that was the entire purpose of meeting Josh, so that I could come in contact with Theresa. Oh wait, I forgot, I don't believe in fate anymore. In that case...oh what a wonderfully random occurence that I met Theresa. Hee hee.

I need to get on top of this whole emailing resumes deal. Since I discovered craigslist I've found all kinds of great jobs, I just haven't sent anyone my resume because I'm still unclear on the proper way to email it. Eek. I so need to get over that. I should just say fuck it and send them however I want to. *nods pointedly* Yeah...um...it'll take me a few more hours of convincing before I can do it.

I passed these two peoke in the street today. One of them looked like a short Chris Nelson, and the other was a brunette Sera Stack. Very weird.

It's gonna happen this week. Or at least it's suppose to. Oh man it BETTER happen. This laptop is on it's last legs. Mom SAYS she plans on going over to Mike's sometime this week so she can order my new computer. I'm beginning to wonder why the hell she feels the need to go all the way down to 28th street when she could just as easily order it from this house, from this very computer I'm currently typing on. I mean good lord, it's been a month since graduation and two weeks since I decided which computer I wanted. She needs to get on the ball.

Like I said, this laptop is dying a slow and painful death, and the one in Laura's room is nightmarishly slow. We could all use something a little fast and more reliable.

Not to mention the fact that I need someting to type my poems on. I need to start formatting the suckers so I can submit them to lit mags. I have a couple that are done and could be mass mailed out TOMORROW if I had the means to type and print them.

Unfortunately, I just recently realized how hard it's going to be for me to type during the evenings. We're putting the new computer (when it gets here) in the living room. Which means that from 7 PM - 12 AM on any given night, Mom will be blaring the TV and making it impossible for me to concentrate. Sure a computer is great for surfing the internet, but my primary interest in having one is so I can type and write. A writer is dead in the water without the correct tools. And while at the moment, it doesn't matter that I can't type in the evenings, because I'm usually up all night and can have quiet time after every goes to bed, when I get a regular job, my hours are gonna change and I'm gonna need those evening hours if I want to get anything done artistically. She may have to go watch TV in her room once or twice a week. Or I may have to learn how to block out the excessive noise. Or maybe we could find a compromise.

I'm still terrified to email my resumes out. I have over ten exclusively online leads for jobs, and I'm really qualified for all of them, but I'm just so afraid that I'll format my email wrong and be rejected before they even look at my resume that I can't even bring myself to send it!!! I can't stand this!!! I wish someone would tell me the rules!!! Then I could format and send, confident that I had done the best job I was capable of.

There's more but...I've lost my motivation to write. Thinking about things that scare you can do that.
