Busy Busy
Employed again.
I have a job again for the first time in a year and a half. I hate the whole finding a job process, whether its combing through want ads or being interviewed. I hope this is the last time I have to do it and this place will be the last job I have.
I also got to go to a couple of baseball games this weekend which was nice. It had been about a month in between games and I got to see two premium contests the past couple of days with Clay Bucholtz and Josh Beckett tonight.
Bucholtz came into town two days after appearing at the All Star game and its not everyday we get a guy in town with a World Series MVP on his resume so the crowds were big both nights. Thats a blessing and a curse, since the loud mouth drunks come along with the crowd.
Getting late and I am bored with this.
Later.
I can take a deep breath and start to relax.

Gasland: A film by Josh Fox
Gasland: A film by Josh Fox
If you get a chance, watch this documentary that is available on HBO on demand.
Fucking scary man. My moms place is on well water and its horrible. It smells like sulfur all the time and got even worse when a wood chip dump was put in just down the road from her. Who knows what kind of chemicals that those wood chips were soaked in and then in turn seeped into the groundwater that my moms well is on.
She has no available hookup for a water system other than the well, so she is kind of stuck with the current set up.

Whale Wars
I love this show.
Not because I am a big fan of saving the whales. Nah, I bet whale meat is delicious and would jump at the chance to have a nice whale steak.
I love it because the hippie pirates that are the "stars" of the show never fail to put their incompetence on display for the world to see. No matter what tactic they try, its always fails.
Why cant they get a further range radar ?
They are surrounded right now by harpoon ships, why dont they take that opportunity to refuel the Ady Gil ?
They have all the harpoon ships around them, instead of actually shooting whales and your looking to scatter them by attacking one ? You have blatantly attempted to damage other ships by prop fouling and the Japanese are the people acting aggressive ?
Next week the previews are showing that one of the boats they are using to go after the whaling ship gets rammed and cut in two.
Must see tv.

Spokeo
What a cock tease.
They show you just enough information to make you curious as to what other information they have available on me.
Is employment information available from any application filled out with my email address ? Can they make it known that I have a Barnes & Noble Frequent Buyer card or that I shop at Wegmans for their delicious garlic tuscan bread ? Does it have my shitty credit record and traffic tickets on there ? What the fuck..how are these guys making a buck off of my name ? Am I not entitled to a piece of any search done on any of my information ?
I suppose I could be proactive and search on that info.
Later with that though. I just recently discovered Comfort Eagle from Cake, and I love it. I dont think there is a bad song on the whole disc.
I might go and check out a roller derby match sometime. It seems like its a scene where a bunch of Suicide type girls are hanging out. I can always use a little bit of new whack off material in case the internet ever crashes dontyaknowandIthinkyado.

Breaking The Cherry
Lets see how this goes.
I have started a lot of blogs and they never last very long. I quickly lose interest and they are forgotten and then deleted three months later after when I remember them.
The reason I am starting this one is unclear also. I am unemployed.
Still.
After a year and a half.
The last six months I have been going to the local technical school for web site design and maintenance. Now..I have always been the first one of my immediate peers to grab onto the newest technology, but I am in so far over my head with the stuff I am learning its not even funny. I used to laugh at my mom for not being able to change the clock on the VCR and now the woman that is supervising me at my current internship gives me the same look full of pity and hope every time she asks me to complete a job for her.
Oh yeah, thats another reason for the new blog. I am an unpaid intern right now as part of the class. So far the internship has consisted of me making a rather bland poster that describes myself.
That piece of artwork can be seen to your right. What can I say, my trump card is always self depreciating humor. If I cant find something else to rip on or express my disgust in, I turn it inward.
Julie, my internship supervisor gave polite chuckles when she reviewed it and told me it wasnt bad in the same tone that you would tell your two year old that his or her crayon scribbles were ranked right up there with Van Gogh.
After that task, after they determined that we at least knew how to turn on the computer we have been asked to design a site for an upcoming baby expo. The details given on requirements have been sparse, and they must be really hashing it out because after that request last Friday we spent pretty much the entire week just sweating in the loft, seemingly forgotten.
That free time has not gone entirely wasted though, as I have gotten a couple of good sniffs for dead end jobs that I am going to end up hating eventually.
Meh, it is what it is.
