I finally got a job! I've been looking since the beginning of the summer. It's at Cragun's, as a dishwasher. Okay, so it's only a trial employment, but still. I have to trim my beard for this job, so I'd better keep it! Oh, well--at least I don't have to shave it off completely, and I've already gotten rid of my red spiked hair.
And afterwards, I saw a sign there saying "no through traffic." I was so excited to see decent, competent spelling that I almost went through it, not realising what it actually meant. Whoever decided it was alright to use "thru" should be shot. In my opinion, it's like having a sign that says "STOPZORZ LOL ;)!!1!~~" One of my dreams in life is to make a fast food place with a drive through.
At any rate, it'll be nice to have some cash flowing in, assuming I can stop myself from spending it on Transformers.

Translations
Alright, I've procrastinated long enough: here is the translation of my previous two entries:
Saturday, 13 October, 2007: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore Generally, I write my blogs like I obtained them: I start in Xanga, and then copy and paste it into Yahoo 360º, MySpace, Gather, Blog City, Blogger, and finally Gaia Online, but now I'm starting with Gather because I'm in school, and the others are blocked.
I'm in school because yesterday I worked until midnight on my homework for history class. I had to write an essay about the first kings of Buddhism, Christianity, and IslÄ?m. I had a month in which to do it, but only started it last night, after book club.
Sorry I can't say more. Tomorrow? I don't usually write in Spanish when it isn't necessary, but... Monday, 15 October, 2007
More?
Well, it isn't tomorrow, but I wasn't sure of what I was going to write for you. And this raises a good question: do I have Spanish-speaking readers, and do they want to read more from me? I have comments on these entries, but do they come back to read more? If you want, I can write more, but I don't think that I could--or would want to--translate it all. I already am not going to translate it into Latin any more.

Sukorambure Powa!
Well, I got my blog transferred to another site. This one's called "Gaia Online." It's really neat: it's sort of an online community where you can get a house and car and play mini-games like "fishing" while talking with your neighbours. You also get to make your own little chibi avatar for it. I really like how mine turned out. You but clothes for it with a sort of currency called "gold"--which I suppose makes it not currency, but actual money--which you earn for nearly everything. I think I'll improve my house next. Now I just need to set up and transfer my past entries to that Live Journal page I got.
Ivan's been having bladder control issues as of late. He's been pissing on the floor after only an hour inside--sometimes even less. I hope he doesn't have a bladder infection.
In other news, I'm almost done downloading トランスフォーマー Zンーン(Transformers: Zone) (I'm not sure how "Znnn" spells "Zone," or why they used a Latin "Z.". That was the last G1 (original storyline) cartoon, cancelled after the first episode. In it, from what I'm told, they take nine of the coolest Destrons (Decepticons) from the previous series and kill all but one of them in a matter of minutes. But, Dai Atlas looks cool. The sad thing is that I can't find a subtitled version: It's either a shitty fan dub or the original Japanese. This is the Japanese one (hopefully it will make sense without understanding the dialogue).

Saturday, April 28, 2007: Well, well, well.
Opening night went pretty well. We had more people than seats, and they did laugh. Of course, they missed half of the best jokes, but that's their problem, not ours. Afterwards, we got flowers from the tech crew--I'm not sure why.
In other news, I caught a mouse! Not just any mouse, though: this mouse has been living in my room for a couple of weeks, and I have been trying to catch it for nearly as long. Although I didn't catch it per se: it more so caught itself. Alow me to explain: While I was in bed, I heard some rustling in the corner of my room, which worried me, as it was between my Transformers and my National Geographics, both of which I wanted not to be damaged. So, I got a chip canister which I had ready for the moment, and went over to the rustling, only to find out that the mouse had fallen into Lucia's old habitat and couldn't get out! I was overjoyed. Now I have to figure out what to do with it. I think that I'll end up keeping it, but I'm not sure. However, I definitely won't let it go: that would defeat the purpose of me catching it.
And now for another one of my sporadic English lessons: Lesson Nine: Pronunciation of the Letter "a" before the letter "g." This, like "borrow," I believe is a local problem, but one which must be addressed. You see, here people will, quite regularly and intentionally, make the letter "a" long before "g." Therefore you get "baig," "faig," "draigon," et cetera, to the point at which you either burst out laughing or roll your eyes as soon as they start talking. Honestly, Brainerd, there is nothing special about "a" being preceded by "g," and acting like there is sound about as bad as pronouncing "r" as "w."
