So, the interview on Saturday was a little misrepresented. It wasn't really an interview, more of a career fair like thing. I was told they'd phone in 4-6 weeks if a position opens. Tuesday is Sportscheck...which, if my recon is still correct, I know at least 10 people that have/still do work there...but things change, people leave...so I might not be right. meh

Tomorrow is the beginning of the summer semester...I don't really care...Comp Sci (again) is the least of my worries. Though I don't think it's a good idea to get cocky again...that seems to lead to failure. Saint and I are going into town on tuesday to hang...as we have nothing better to do. I really hope she gets wenesday off somehow and can see the Student Writtens...as I don't want to go alone(again). Wait a minute...she does...she didn't in the fall, but she had her hours changed...yes! Saint originally wanted to have a picnic...and I hate picnics...like the black death...so much...I can't explain why...one of those repressed memory terror deals.

MASH units no longer exist...they are now called "Clearing Stations". They still are giant collections of tents bringing in wounded helicopters(the UH60L is the chopper of choice, replacing the Huey)...I think the changes should be noted in a war story...which I'm working on...the dialogue is pretty stupid as I just have generic soldier one through 5...no real history, working on it. I think the opening starting with that Grad scene is too dramatic...I should find a better use for that one. The scene is still valid.

Well, that was off track...

So good ol Kenward...I think I'll enjoy the class. He seems a very easy going guy and must be 3rd generation at least because his english is excellent. A little geeky, but what do you expect in a Comp Sci Prof? There are more group activities and that's good and bad. Good: I have an edge pretty much knowing what's going on before it happens. Bad: I hate groups, but I made the best of it. As I left, I noticed a familiar face waiting for the class after(which is a 3 hour Comp Sci 1100), she was in my Comp Sci class in the fall and I was under the impression she killed in that course...brunette with green eyes and glasses...so I don't feel that bad about it anymore...though, come to think of it, I never really did.fficeffice" />

I had an odd dream. It had a covert op/freelance vibe to it, I was in a blackhawk chopper and it was crashing(but in slow mo) I was told to clip an emergency parachute to my belt and get out. But before I could pull the chute', the Blackhawk came to a complete stop and I stepped out to the ground and ran across a shopping center parking lot I knew. I ran towards the street corner as a teammate was running towards me. Later I caught up with Graeme and a young women and he asked me what I was going to do, I said I was heading back to the theatre to get some gear, I can't remember what he said, as we walked, suddenly it became a bus and we were going through a narrow brightly lit tunnel, the bus made a tight corner and I woke up. Why can I remember that I was wearing a black suit with matching shirt, gloves and a toque? Weird...I can see where the suit, the chopper, the bus, the theatre reference and the shopping center came from...but everything else is random as hell. What does it mean?

Saint is dealing with some future issues, so our plans for tomorrow are postponed. Somedays I wish I could be of more help to her. We'll try to hang out tomorrow and she says she might come to the Student Writtens, though she has work the next day. I told her it starts at 7 and Dennett has long since learned his lesson and doesn't let 100 plays run for 20 hours...Most likely 2...which wouldn't be that bad. I just want someone else to be there...Jenny is acting in two plays...we joked that she could be cast with her dizyogtic twin bro in a sequel to a super hero farce done last year as the wonder twins or something...I wonder if that idea ever panned out? I talked to her last night and at the end of the conversation I said something like "I'll make the time" but then she bailed out...the rest of the line probably would have gone "I'd make the time for you"...he he he...I still got something left in me.

Tomorrow, Interview...I heard that they just hired an associate of mine and he's now flipping through a 50 page book on shoe ID/classification...cool? I wouldn't mind that job...as it sells something I can use...I have little use for pet stuff...maybe cat litter every now and then. but shoes, shorts, weight gloves, weights!...yumm...Oh well...we'll see...

Did I mention the KSA says they'll cut locks after the 28th...of April! Mine's still there and nothing was in it anyway...I was going to renew today, but the entire KSA infrastructure is shut down, even the lounge! They open on the 9th...So I hope everyone is taking a break...even the people that cut the locks...Ironically, it's not that quiet during Summer Semester...give it a week...people will drop left right and centre...I guess with lounge closed, people filter out to other areas and gives it the crowded look.

Yeah, I'm done...MASH and bed...I hope....I haven't been sleeping well...when I do...I dream...

In chrono order-SportCheck interview...meh...they said by friday. What's promising is the fact they have a 6-3am shift set up as the store is under renno...which is perfect for me....Oh about that associate of mine getting hired, wrong...I should really listen to people more. But the interviewer asked the most awkward question..."Tell me about yourself." Well...I had one thought kicking me in the back of the head:

"Don't mention guns"...over and over again. So I managed a few things...but I don't like talking about me...to other people...ha...(what the hell do you call this?!)...so that was a flubbed question...the one that saved me? "What would your best friend say about you?" A wuss when it comes to matters of the heart, but loyal to a fault...then I whipped out the big guns...anecdotes...all the suitable, non acting ones...Paramedics, pregnancy tests and fire extinguishers. So I left a memory with the guy...now, I just hope it translates positive...

Saint phoned up later and we had dinner at Hatto's and hung about. She on a make up kick lately and spent at least half an hour (before the store closed) looking at stuff. I don't get it...like never...make up that is...it's like most use a make up shotgun these days...(sigh)We watched Dogma...which she didn't get and thinks Alanis Morissette is weird...and she didn't get Silent Bob...(sigh)...can't all be violent gore feasts in my movie top ten...I remember at a time the new Romeo and Juliet, the Big Hit and The Cube were in my top ten. Oh have times changed. Right now Saint is making...get this, bracelets...with my mom's scrapbooking beads...yeah...I know...she said she'll make one with "Jenny" on it...whoopie? I think I'd die...I had my first Slurpee of the season...mmmm...orange...it's the small things...

Tomorrow, day II with Kenward...I think I'll like the course...it's not a bad topic...it was just that horrid prof in the fall...ugh....evil...

Maybe not so in chrono order...I arrived early for the interview(on purpose)...i camped out at the nearby Starbucks(THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!) and wrote for a while. Like actually dedicated ideas and spec sheets...flushing out characters. It was cool...I wanted to buy a magazine...but nothing jumped out at me...meaning that I didn't want the Maxim or Stuff...and any Star Wars Fan boy mag would just cause me to full revert...and that's bad....the store I was at used to sell tactical handgunner...but suddenly stopped...now all they have is paintball rags and bow hunters...that sucks...come to think of  it. There's no such thing as Tactical Handgunner Monthly...I think it's just Handgunner and it's a bi quarterly...(sigh)...it's also too American for my tastes...but that's a given for a Handgun magazine...written magazine...(sigh) Saint got this...candy gel...that looks like my hair gel...but my hair gel smells more like apples than that crap...we had one our classic moment in the Sev today...the "you can only have one" thing came up again...to show how bad that candy gel was...Pyro wouldn't even eat it....

Ok, I'm done...Saint's right here...doesn't mean anything...she knows everything

She's a soy vanilla latte in the evening
Sipped slowly, savouring the conversation
Monkey laugher breaks  awkward silences
Goofy socks fling through the air
She's comfort, tranquility and confidence

Well, it was the final episode of "Third Watch" tonight...it went out with a bang...like with incendiary grenades. The "Where Are They Now" voice over was a little cliché, but I guess that you can't be different when ending a show. Everyone that could, hooked up with each other and there was a wedding and everything...ooer. One thing I have to say: SHE PULLED THE PINS IN HER POCKETS! I hope Saint saw it, she'd enjoying the ending with Bosco doing what Bosco does best. 

Still no word from any business. Consider it a lesson learned: people won't hire babbling fools. I'm holding out until monday. Then it's another day of looking. 

For some reasons, the Ipod data was copied on to Pyro's Mini...like all 1330 of my songs. He wasn't too happy. He should be so lucky to only have 150 songs. I had to rebuild a collect at 445. Imagine if that happened now. I think I'd have a heart attack.

As a family favour, I'm working at another garage sale. I think they are perfect studies of human behaviour. This time it's being headed by one of my aunts...and we all have to be there at 7. I don't know how Pyro got out of it. Oh, that's right, he gets out of doing anything because he refuses to do it. Only if I had that willpower(or that pigheadedness) lazy stupid fucker.  

I watched "George Lucas in Love" a couple days ago. It's a fan parody combining Shakespeare in love with Star Wars. Lucas has an asthmatic dorm mate that wears all black and doesn't like him. His roommate is a pothead name "Benji" that talks about this "All binding cosmic force." Lucas' prof talks backwards...it's really funny. Like a million injokes a second. "Hey George! Look at my new duck! I named him Howard!"

Can you tell I'm avoiding something? Saint and I talked about a bunch of things. One thing to come up was the Student Writtens next week. I've decided to go only if Saint can make it. That'll make my life a lot easier. What comes with the Student Writtens is a conversation with Jenny. Saint gave me her view on the whole thing. Despite all of Jenny's positive attributes, she can be a little closed minded(borderline ignorant un accepting!) I don't care. The rice thing is workable too. But is it wrong to want to change somebody? Saint says, no, it is simple adaptation which is necessary. I think there is something inherently wrong with it. One must be understanding and accepting. What do I know? Little if anything.

My first college summer has been a hoot so far...at least it can only get better...right?

Mood: ---

Saint and I hung out yesterday, she needed to pick up something for her mom and needed some company. I ended up getting my mom a potted plant and the Phantom Movie DVD. We ended up at starbucks and I had a full java chip frap and a cookie and wanted to die shortly after.

As I've said before, garage sales are the most interesting human studies...you can pretty much do any social science...Sociology, Criminology(3 years olds showing an early devient career), Psychology(parenting styles, mental dieases and other conditions) and statistics work. I could have had enough to write papers for years! What made it interesting is that I decided long ago to unload my Star Wars figures. During the last one, we never advertised that we'd be offering them. This time it was directly stated in the ad. We got a few lookers...most were a little on the ignorent side...they asked me if I had any Anakin Skywalker...nope...I'm not buying anymore...though Pyro and I have been discussing the idea of getting that General Grievous figure just because. I said I'd only consider it if he came with 4 sabres and 4 arms! Curse that Clone Wars cartoon!!! LucasFilms people say he won't fight like that during the movie...that's depressing...another group bought two or three...and had no idea what they were really getting...meh...not everyone can be a mega fanboy... One kid bought about half my stock and promised to buy the rest when he had the money. Soon after it was all over I realized that I had just given my cellphone number to a hyper grade 8 bent of clearing me of all my Star Wars figures...so sad....I had three missed calls on my cell this afternoon. So who knows could it have been...but I have a feeling I'll here from this kid everytime he gets 10 bucks. I'm going to give office hours...god forbid I get calls at odd hours...and class hours...this is why I'm getting caller ID on my next phone...if I get one...Speaking of Star Wars...Neither Saint nor Jenny has actually seen any of them...(sigh)...I guess I'll start em off on Sith and move to the other 5 films. I had a long conversation with Jenny last night...1-3am...she informed me that Angel's Amy Acker is going to be lead in a CBS show called "The Unit" which from rumored sources is suppose to be a crime show and a special forces unit...so wait...Amy Acker (who is hotter than sin) part of a Special Forces Unit...yay! I was going to cry tears of joy. The reason Jenny knows all this is because people in the Whedon Fandom tend to keep tabs on the actors (ALL the actors) that have been on the shows. Like she was psyched that the Mayor from Buffy season 3 was going to appear on a story arc of Enterprise. She's sat through awful movies to see Christian Kane (ie Taxi...the Fallon remake!)...it's a level of dedication I both simultaniously admire and fear....Saint can't swing the Student Writtens...that's not good...oh well....

Insulted...how my mom described her feelings towards my job search...I've hit 6 places so far...well...4...still doing the paperwork for the last two. I've been told I should have at least 20 done by now...right...though now my mom has a theory that I'm agoraphobic...well no...I'm not afraid to go outside...I'm afraid of people out there...people I might know...people that will judge...Yeah, as of now, I'm probably half of the DSM IV...why I won't run on Friday/Saturday nights...

I've decided against any of my better judgment to hit the Student Written's tomorrow, by myself on foot...It's pretty much the last time I can go to the theatre without seeming weird. I'll try to more social and group up with other Alumni...I can't be anti social all the time...I'm not...just with people I know...and don't like...now that makes sense...But I'll plaster a grin on my face and make conversation with people that wouldn't talk to me for 5 years in high school but assume it's ok now...and they were acting people!

You can tell I have issues with this sort of thing...but Agoraphobia? We'll have to see about that one. Somniphobia, Pediculophobia...and if fear of intimacy has been classified...that one too...despite it being something I want bad, I'm scared of it. It's probably because I have to give in to let someone else in...

 I'm going in early...hitting the gym to work off some of this tension about tomorrow...Jenny...that's what it's all about...we had a pleasant conversation tonight...I was glad I was able to have it considering I couldn't get  .NET Passport related items, gmail, or 20six to load for the past two days. A complete format solved it and I'm just getting it all back together. I think the last one was in April...

Speaking of Jenny...she told me someone she knew just dropped out and is now a long shore men...it was that Ryan punk she keeps referring to...the one Bre told me she had a thing for a while ago, though Jenny later told me she was over him. I think I mentioned it all in a Previous Entry saying it was analogous to me and the Skankasaurous...who I've only seen 3 times at Kwat...I'm lucky that way I suppose though the rest of her assorted crew is about...like that Carrie...god...now she's "pretentious as fuck"...Brit R is all Gung Ho that I'm coming to Student Written's...but she has to know I have other reasons for being there...I haven't seen Jenny since One Acts...in November! Now THAT'S insulting...to me...to her...I think I owe her a little more...even Bre agrees...and Bre thinks Jenny is off her nut...Murphy's Law..."Never Sleep with anyone crazier than you are." done and done...

Back to my "roots" (hackneyed!) when it comes to music lately...Mayer...mostly "Not Myself" and "Back to You"...I started to write a memoir scene about "The 14th"...then I stopped and realized that the day is so tainted I can no longer view it in a positive way....the facts are mixed with lies and fictions and things I wished happened. The after effects just make the whole thing worse...so let's just let it all go...

I think I'll skip MASH tonight and get some rack time...There is a MASH: Henry Blake Marathon on the 21st...Noon-Midnight...that's 24 eps! You betcha I'm watching that one! Unless I have something else to do...doubt it...even if I did...90% of the things I can put off...

Mood: Well...I don't know

So...um...12 plays...just under 5 hours...and of those 12 plays...2 of them has a plot and a story...the rest were just collections of scenes and they were all cliche. I guess a semester of Creative Writing will make you see things differently....I don't want to comment on them...It's not fair to the people I know and respect...Saint phoned half way through and asked me where I was. I guess I never told her I changed my mind this morning. Her sister was there and asked me if I had seen Saint in a while...I don't get that, they live in the same house...well, I guess I can get that, I went for a week without ever seeing my dad. We kept different hours.

Jenny was in like 4 plays, supporting roles ...she hung with me whenever she wasn't on though, that was nice. That's all I say about that one. Firefire Marathon this weekend if Saint has the time...

Speaking of Saint, she had asked me to get a student loan package for her...and this is the 4th of 5th time I've tried....in January I was told the 05/06 would be availible in May...being May...I tried to get one today...nothing...out in June...and they keep telling me that it's easier to file online. Saint tried that and she finds hard as hell. So I have no idea what to fucking do with the loan people. I keep getting the run around.

God this is taking a while...I'm cutting in and out...Tarantino is on Letterman...and is the biggest CSI Vegas fan in the world...he has seen every ep...I think he'll write a good one...duh?

Yeah I'm done...tomorrow I need to pick a printer cartradge and deal with my agoraphobia...

edit: 3:40
I decided to stay up and watch Memento on TV...I'm still working through it....wow..what a film...jeeze...

Anyone would be if they just spent the last 136mins watching the full director's cut of "ffice:smarttags" />Leon the Professional." If you know anything about this movie, you will know that a handful of scenes were removed after a disastrous test screening in LA. I've only seen the American versions of the film...this was European release...Ooooer. I had been meaning to get it for months, today just seemed right. The scenes really make the movie better and that's hard to do. Also the featurette with a Natalie Portman interview was cool. I haven't gotten to the rest of the features. I'm a little disappointed that the disc lacks a full screen version of the movie. Meh, I can make do. I still think that Natalie Portman is one of the "coolest" people in the world. She doesn't even consider herself Hollywood and admits she won't be acting forever. She's enrolled in Harvard Psych...now THAT'S attractive!

I was going to post an entry last night, but I couldn't get anything past a ridiculous title that would have had nothing to do with the entry itself. According to Saint's expert opinion on things and my debriefing of the Student Writtens, she has once again stated that Jenny is in to me. Sure...right...I think the thigh brush was a little childish on my part...and maybe she flinched for different reasons. I don't know. The fact she spent 90% of her down time with me...well...whatever. I was the one telling Saint every time she broke up that she'd find someone else...Only history will tell...speaking of Saint, she'd also flip over the added scenes in Leon...ie, Portman actually doing a job...(paint still)

I applied for an overnight stocking position at a Zellers...I was told they were "desperate for people". I want to use my sleep patterns to my advantage for once...I like "desperate"...Parentals are a little bent with the late night Skytrain rides that a job like that would involve...I said talk about once I get the job...

I may have remarked (here or to someone) that I didn't really like Rob Thomas' debut single from "Something to Be." I said it was too Marc Anthony. Anyway, I found a few others from the album and it's more like Matchbox.  Consider my respect for Rob Thomas restored.

Um...I don't know what else to really say. Jenny? Yeah...it's all good
