i kinda want to live until i'm a villan...do i get a cape?

so finding a job sucks. especially in this economy.  i've applied place after place, both in my major and not, and i never hear anything back.  i try calling up, but nothing.  i did get an interview at KEYE, the guy liked me, but there is no money in their budget to hire me because the boss suddenly pulled out at the last moment.  it doesn't work in sex and it doesn't work with jobs!!!  but i've applied at other places, and now i hope to be doing temp work.  and the temp agency woman i spoke to today said i should keep my job at starbucks.  (shitshitshit!!!) and so i'm kinda scared i'll be in over my head in working 4 or 5 days with a temp agency and 2-3 with starbucks.  i really want to quit that job.  like really bad.  i'm tired of taking out trash.  mopping.  dealing with bitchy customers and employees.  being on my feet ALL THE TIME.  being bored out of my mind most days.  making mocha.  making frappachinos.  i didn't get my degree to stay there.  and i can't stand it anymore.  i mean, i can if i have to, but Krusty wants out!  so let's hope everything works out.

so the past few days i've been working out twice: once in the morning as a three mile run, then riding my bike in the afternoon to work, which is around 7 miles.  i think that's good...right?  i love working out.  yes, i am aware i am a freak.  i have realized that if i don't work out, i become restless and cranky.  it's my drug!  Mono took me out, in that no caffeine, no alcohol, no sugar and no working out made lauren go crazy.  but now i'm back to all four!  hoo-ray!

today i rode my bike and met up with the parental units at the alamo drafthouse near my apartment to see the Dark Knight again.  it was still very good.  i was still blown away by the multi-layered story, the beautiful editing and cinematography, and the brilliance that is Heath Ledger.  i actually cried twice during the film.  ugh, it's so good.  but all this comic stuff (which, congrats to DC Comics for giving Marvel a run for their money!) has made me want to start reading graphic novels.  i read comics as a kid since there was a comic book shop near our house. (are we shocked i read comics?  no.  it fits.)  i've heard way too much good stuff about them to really pass them up.  i figured i could start with the watchmen.  even before the movie my uber nerdziod friends talked about how kick ass it was.  so.  yeah.

on another note, i've been trying to get this sftp site thing to work so i can upload music and start blogging on indieball.com, and it isn't and i'm extremely frustrated.  i feel like a n00b and like i dropped the ball, but i didn't!  i even freggin took a programming class and skooled all those CS majors...what the hell?!  this crappy crap crap crap of sftp and its hatred of mp3s is starting to get to me.  i'll figure it out, but i'm gettin' cranky.  maybe i should run...
