My movie cannot be done due to the bizarre fact that the music periodically goes out for a noticable second. Which, knowing I could do better, decided not to comprimise on my one perfect-as-it's-ever-goin g-to-be copy (since there are so many glitches, most of which beyond my control).
So I guess it will never really be done until Fall, but I got one that had only one music glitch in it so I can send it to one or two people, like the copyright office...damn copyright office... Yesterday, my degree came (as usual, I didn't check my grades, so I assume I passed everything) as did my Looney Tunes DVD set. And I applied for a job at the Palo Alto Sheraton, and someone said they had almost filled the job I applied for (which is probably just as well because I don't see a lot of people wanting their cocktails delivered to them by the pool in January) but based on my experience I would be good for another job. Supposedly, someone will call me to arrange a phone interview. However, I have a sneaky suspicion they won't... I got up early this morning to attempt to knock out the movie thing (it was cool and overcast this morning, made me wish I was going on a 700 mile drive to the next state, or going to Disneyland), and was tired at around two, so I took a nap, and I woke up and I'm still tired! Current Mood:  groggy
edit: Sandy Gonzales from the Sheraton just called. Further proof that pessimists are sometimes plesantly surprised. |

Yay! I am actually almost done with the movie I started in Fall!
I'm committed to do working on it tonight and tomorrow, and by then it will be wrapped up! Don't know what will happen after that. Probably nothing. But at least I can honestly say that I completed one of the goals I had for this summer, which was finish that thing. Current Mood:  almost getting somewhere
Edit: Just finished the sound effects! |

I started to think that maybe I could buy a book for Jeremy (and me too), a life-after-college book that might give some tips not found in the books my dad loaned him for people that are not the snowball in hell Jeremy apparently is.
But then I started thinking it was just another technique to try failing at, what if it just turned out to be a waste of money building up our hopes once again only to have them be shattered. Then I started thinking that we were going to have to live in a ghettoey apartment how we would never be able to have any fun that didn't involve free movies how I am never going to graduate for real because I will never be good enough to actually pass the portfolio revue and how much everything is just going to suck and how nothing will ever be good again... |

Not much to report.
Figured out that Century is screwing me by calling me in more than scheduling me. Definetely time for a different job Went home for my mom's birthday which was rather uneventful and spent much time in the pool/spa. Just got back. My dad is going to kick my ass to finish Sven's Adventure in the next week. I think I'll just do it in one marathon go tomorrow. As some may know the Pirates of the Caribbean ride was "updated" to include characters from the films. While as a Disney purist I'm not sure it was a good idea, my brother found a website with new pictures from the ride including this one which I found rather amusing: 
Well, I was amused... Incidentally before the Johnny in the barrel was Johnny it was a cat in a barrel of fish, and before it was a cat, it was persumably naked woman hiding herself and hoping that the pirate in the foreground (who has never changed much) would give her back her clothes. I need to go grocery shopping/job/apartment hunting. Current Mood:  this

Well, despite much more work experience, including some at Macy's, a degree, and in my opinion just seeming more confident than the other jobseeker, they decided for no apparent reason (at least I wasn't given one when I called back) to go with her instead. Of course we both had one different and one same job on our application so I also don't know why they couldn't've put me in the other job.
I wonder why it is that Jeremy and I are so cursed? Jeremy can't get a salaried job. I can't pass the portfolio revue, get out of having to pay a totally unfair speeding ticket, or get a job with decent hours. I am more and more convinced that God hates us. Current Mood:  bitter

Since my last post a lot of things have happened.
I lost my 1GB memory stick. I have no idea where. So now I'm most likely out a rather expensive piece of equipment. However, as luck would have it, one of my mom's cousins gave me $50 for graduation which should cover it (and then some, I hope...) I got sick of looking at the ugly cardboard box in the middle of my living room so I put a tarp over it and took it back out, now one can't tell it's a cardboard box. Jeremy and I saw Lake House yesterday which got rather confusing at the very end. I still would have liked to have understood why things were happening the way they were. Because of that stupid movie I forgot to turn my ringer back on and my potential manager left a voice mail saying rather cryptically, "He wanted to discuss my interview." Well, I've never had a rejector call me back...? I really hope I didn't screw it up because I didn't get back to him right away. Oh, yeah, and I got a graduation present from my parents, a big TV! It is amazing! It seems so huge! and it makes the stand that had two speakers and a CD rack on it seem so small! It is so nice! Gotta go to work today. Not overly excited about it. Supposedly, somebody got fired for failing to "upsell" which is convincing someone that after spending between $7.25 and $9.75 per person, to spend .75 more cents on that popcorn that is just one size bigger is not that big a deal. And I don't like it because nobody needs that much popcorn, we all know they are already getting ripped off, (especially when you consider at Target for $1 one can get roughly a medium popcorn and a small drink, no "extra butter tho), and aside from job security for a job where I only get one day a week, there is absolutely no motivation for me to upsell. If I got that 75 extra cents that would be one thing. At least at Macy's for opening a credit card account (also something I find objectionable because it's only done so Macy's can personally monitor your spending and more credit cards = more chances to get your idenity stolen not to mention racking up more debt). I just need a job where I have no conscientious objections to anything they make me do... I never felt that way at the WB, or at Parkview. I never really felt that at Disney World, they did enough other stuff to which I objected... Current Mood:  hungry

Haven't written anything in awhile. So here is some recent goings on.
It turns out that the girl that was training was not the one I don't like after all, however, given that I only have one big day next week (although I have had 3 extra days I was not scheduled for, including one 8.5 hour shift yesterday) I'm glad I sought employment at Macy's. Had one interview at Valley Fair, had a second at Oakridge, promised they would call back tomorrow morning, and of course they didn't. Decided I'm going to spend my $50 good-anywhere gift card on a $50 set of Looney Tunes DVDs that I have been asking for every Christmas and birthday and never gotten. It has Rabbit of Seville, Duck Dodgers, and the greatest cartoon ever made, Duck Amuck, just to name a few. I desparately need to paint. I haven't done it for about two weeks. I planned the next two big driving trips I want to take. One takes a southern route to Philidelphia, and the other takes northern route that goes to Boston. I really want to drive somewhere. Seeing Cars (based mostly in a vintage Arizona town right on Route 66) twice hasn't helped those urges any. And as soon as we get a Prius, and jobs that will allow us to take 3 weeks at a time off we'll be set! But in the meantime, I just have to find 7 other people between the ages of 18 and 30 to go with me on a European tour and my trip will be comped. Speaking of Priuses, I saw Inconvinient Truth which is not the most wildly entertaining film I've ever seen, but for sure the scariest. Unfortunately, the only people that will see it are the ones who aren't denying that there is a serious issue. Current Mood:  warm

Did I write about the little annoying gnat who trained the same day I did and our first day she was bossing me around and I was about ready to snap her little 17-year-old lookin' four-eyed neck like a twig?
Yes, I did. Anyway, as I previously mentioned I have worked probably a grand total of 4 days, they always want to schedule me for my one big day (despite a direct request for more hours) at the most inconvinient times (ie tomorrow during my SJSU registration appointment...think they could schedule me during the stupid TDP reunion? Nooooo...) Jeremy calls me from work and tells me this little bitch is being trained in money meaning she has probably got a helluva lot more hours than me and even though she hasn't bothered me lately, I still hate her. The stupid uniform (which although not as adorable as my Disney World costume at least it was much better made than my Century uniform) are a good enough reason to quit Current Mood: irritated

This summer it feels like I have done nothing.
I haven't animated anything yet, (mostly because I haven't gotten the tripod my dad promised me yet), I haven't painted in two weeks, I haven't traced at all, I haven't been to Palo Alto to draw, I still haven't finished the scrapbook I was bitching about last week, my apartment is still a mess, I've barely read any of the media books I got at the library... The only things I have done is come home twice, see six or seven movies, work only enough days that I can count them on hand, draw at the zoo once, and cook two decent dinners. And I look back and think, "What have I been doing all this time then?" and I have no freakin' idea. Seriously, I haven't done anything and I am not really sure why! Current Mood:  rather confused

Oh, goody. Now I've caught my mom's cold...
I wonder if I can just give this book such as it is to somebody and slink away without having to explain why only one semester is done and something about a Scratch Disk being too full to do anything in my Photoshop For Morons Current Mood: blaah

Wow.
I am so not going to finish tonight. I could pull an all-nighter. But since not only is this not something I want to do, it's not something that will negatively effect some long-term portion of my life if I don't. So, the other people will talk shit about what a slacker I was. To avoid that, I hope I can blow them away by how above-and-beyond I have gone and knowing this is a trend I intend to continue, maybe they will be more forgiving. But otherwise, I don't care. |

Wow, I really don't want to make this scrapbook!

Party was fun. Got lots of checks.
Mikes birthday was fun although I didn't get to see him quite as far gone as I would have liked. So I'm walking out of the movie theatre pondering how much The Break-Up sucked (I don't think I laughed once) and a girl from my fratority spots me in the parking lot and reminds me that the TDP reunion is tomorrow and she wants to the scrapbooks of all the pictures from the last 3 semesters that I haven't been doing all along. Well, at least now I have a project today. Although I would rather be painting... Stupid alumni reunion. At least I managed to get out of it by saying I wasn't sure if I was going to have that day off...which I do...because I only have one stinkin' day again next week... Current Mood:  annoyed

Party was fun.
It was nice to be home for awhile. Mike's birthday was fun. Didn't get to see him as drunk as I would have liked. Do I want to sit here and either read or draw/paint and watch TV, or do I want to go and watch The Break-Up simply because I can? I wish A Prarie Home Companion was out already. Current Mood: kinda bored

I lost. Seemed like about 10 people's officers didn't show up, but mine did, of course. There is just so much about this thing that is unfair.
I hate cops so much. And I abhor San Mateo county; it's barely worth shitting in. In fact, that is about all I plan to do for...awhile. I hate my life. It feels like there is very little that is good. And that if there is a god, he is a bastard because he never seems to tilt the world in my favor; I can't get anything I want that is really important to me. And I will continue to hold this belief until I see some evidence to the contrary... Anyway, I hope someone shoots that bastard. Current Mood:  angry with the world

Second edit from the previous entry: My boyfriend/fiancee/star whitness has known since fucking February that my court date was June 2nd, 1:30pm. Do you think he bothered to request an evening shift instead of a day shift...? Nooooo... Do you think he can get it changed now at the last minute...? Nooooo... Further proof that not one goddamn thing could work in my favor. Of course, him being completely ignorant to the fact that I really need him doesn't mean a goddamn thing... current mood: incredibly pissed as hell

As I sit here on the eve of my court date rehearsing my testimony where I will try and get out of a speeding ticket because I was unfairly picked out of a crowd while trying not to break the law I can't help but thinking what douchebags cops are, and how shitty life is and how neither Jeremy nor I can get a damn break, including this potentally little fun expense and the expenses to follow, all because of one little shithead douchebag cop!
Current mood:  nervous and pissed
Edit: It would be nice to think that assholes always get what's coming to them. But that is probably not the case; people tell themselves things like karma exists, "everything happens for a reason" to attempt to justify why shit happens to them. However, if it were true, I still wouldn't have the pleasure of being there to see it though. The only thing I do believe is what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. If this is true however, it makes Keith Richards the strongest man on earth... |
