¡Lo cogí!

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.

Referendum signs

Well, we started with this:

My English teacher wants to hang it on the wall for prosperity.
Then they fixed it...Kind of...

The pro-referendum signs are spelled correctly, albeit a bit vague:

Think a little

Six hours ago I left a meeting for seniors at the high school. There some guy told us that--in short--if we threw money at his company, he'd give us a bunch of useless stuff that we'll throw away right after we graduate. And it seems like lots of morons do as he says, because he threw money at us. "Hey, you know what I just said? Great, here's fifty bucks." Unfortunately, he didn't throw any at me. Maybe he knew that I'm cynical and was going to laugh at the meeting. But, they had everything: booklets for photos, graduation announcements in case we're too lazy to make our own--which probably wouldn't look any worse--and everything you can think of with the words "Seniors 2008" on it. I was almost surprised that they didn't have tampons.
In better--but less humorous--news, this afternoon there was a bad movie day at the library. We had tonnes of movies, of all varieties--black and white, 怪獣映画 (kaijū eiga, or Japanese monster movies), and the cheapest of the cheap; but we only saw two.

The first was The Valley of Gwangi. What could be better for a bad movie day than one about cowboys and dinosaurs? But some folks were talking during the dialogue, because it was a bunch of boring clichés. But in the end they learned how to watch bad movies: you mock the dialogue, not only the special effects. But everyone laughed at the final scene: the dinosaur follows the cowboys into a huge church in Mexico--because, of course, he wants to eat the people in the church, rather than those at his feet--and after a fight, they burn him to death. In the street, people watch, happy that the monster is dead--it's very touching, if you forget about their church. They don't care that their centuries old church is burning down, and in the desert, that fire isn't going to remain there forever, and--wait, a stone church is burning down? Eh, who cares?
Afterwards, since that was so wretched, we watched Night of the Living Dead, since that was well written. But, that was it. So I checked out Rodan.

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).

Thursday, May 31, 2007: Perfect.

Well, mum hasn't payed the electric bill. for the moment, we're staying at her boyfriend's house. She spends when she is depressed--and she's never been good at finances. So the pups are at home, and we're going to put them in a kennel here, once we get it cleaned out.

But, on the bright side, school is out. I've gotten a Spanish four book to study. Come autumn, I'll be ready for AP.
