"You shouldn't be afraid of talking to people. That's why there's so many problems in the world. People are too afraid to talk to other people."
I've been searching for jobs and watching a lot of movie commentaries. Melissa form my church called me and I have a 4-day secretarial job next week. I'll make $160. It's not ideal, but at least I'm getting money for it. It'll give me time to read my book for school and I can just kinda chill. Plus, I started reading a book with a bunch of journalistic stories. They're pretty entertaining, and it was organized by Ira Glass- the host from This American Life. It's called The New Kings of Nonfiction.
I went to Leesylvania state park with my friend yesterday. I got a few pictures, but I was just glad to be out of the house and see my friend that I havn't seen in a while. He always reminds me to enjoy life a bit more.
I bought some more film. This time I know where to process it- and hopefully they'll be even better than the short-lived Italy pictures.

I ran for about 25 minutes before I started walking back. Well, I jogged. My breathing was all weird. It's fine. I got at least 30 minutes of exercise. You know, the recommended amount by the nation's health experts.
Good to see they're helping the country out. We're all quite fit and limber. Riiight.

When I got home I just ate a soft pretzel (ohhhh so good) and watched Pride and Prejudice.
Not I'm talking to someone I havn't spoken to in a good 6 months or so. What a douche. I think I'm better looking than him now, anyways.

Fail-again

Wow so I got my film from Italy developed. It was going to be (possibly) the best photos taken by me. Ever. The film was completely blank. As if I'd never taken any pictures at all. Needless to say I was a wreck. It has to be karma for breaking up with Robert during the trip. The whole experience couldn't be good. The pictures had to be ruined. The most important thing I came back with was destroyed. And that's how God evens out the universe. Woo. Hoo.
So to make sure it doesn't happen again I burnt the offending film and (funnily) took pictures.

Another person could translate the situation to mean that God doesn't want me to take photographs for a living. I would translate it to mean that he intends for me to go back to Italy. And also that I should choose a different theme for my portfolio. Which I will be required to do anyways. Yes, live is good.

But on a different note I saw Dark Knight last night and was amazed and disturbed. Heath Ledger had a good movie to go out on. I don't want to talk too much about it because I don't want to talk about every beautifully shot scene in it. Areh then let me borrow about 5 volumes of Batman and any other comic book I thought looked good. And then any comic book he loved because he put it on the pile. I temporarily traded about 9 volumes for the Watchmen because he doesn't have it right now.
So far, I've read 2 of my Batman volumes, eaten, eaten, watched TV, and made a plan to run tonight. Productive day.

Well

Yesterday Jessica and I planned to go to DC.
It was a bust. No need for embarrassing and sordid details.
POINT: we didn't even make it there. lol.

I don't even know what I'll be doing today. I really want to go find a job. But since Adam said my resume was crap, I don't even know if anyone will consider hiring me. i don't know if he said that to make Rob feel better or what. But all I know now is that I have no job. Whoopee.

I do need to get the pictures from the trip developed though. Hopefully they'll be better than the ones on my digital camera. Seriously, I don't even know what I'm thinking when I take some of these pictures. Most of them were for artistic purpose. But what do i end up with? Tons of required editing. So tried out iPhoto on my mac and it works pretty well. I just don't like editing on the computer. Makes me feel like a cheater. Or like one of those people who has to edit all their photos and think a picture with the contrast turned all the way up is deep and artistic. Bah. These are a few i liked. Some have color editing. Just for a certain effect.



Maybe more later. I need to actually do something today so I better get off now.
