Dark Shadows

Well, lots has been happening! I saw Dark Shadows with my mom last night. It's pretty good if you go in expecting a cheesy movie. Plus Johnny Depp is fun to look at as always. Plus the little girl from Kickass was amazingly grown up! She has really nice legs, which made me feel creepy to realize... Then last night while I was trying to sleep two animals starting fighting outside. Sounded like cats. And it was crazy loud. My dog started barking and then climbed into bed with me and whined. He's an excellent watch dog as you can tell. My job situation is looking up. Currently I'm so bored at the Museum that I could cry. I just feel like I've seriously outgrown working at museums. I've been doing it for almost 5 years now. BUT I was surfing the web looking for new jobs and I found a nanny gig that would really work for me. I would be watching an infant girl 3 days a week and I would love that. Well, got 6 hours at DQ ahead of me and then some DND tonight! Whoop Whoop

HBO's girls

Ah this show...I love it intensely. Currently it's the pop culture item that feminists cant seem to agree on. On one hand, it is very realistic in how 20 somethings talk to each other, treat each other, adn just generally handle life. There are a few things though that aren't the greatest. For one, the entire cast so far is white. I would appreciate a bit more diversity, and also the clothing isn't accurate for what the audience is supposed to believe the girls are making. HOWEVER, that being said, the characters are amazing. Not since Buffy have I been so impressed with the creativity of the characters. Hannah, the main girl, has so much of my personality in her. She's awkward and insecure about her body and she's a feminist. The other characters are wonderful as well. One situation that this show portrays very accurately that many shows don't is the 'too nice guy relationship' I've been in one of these before and the show portrays it perfectly. Basically the man is so nice and always wanting to talk that the girl gets a little bored and starts asking him to be a little more assertive. She really wants to leave but she can't because, as quoted in the show, she is 'trapped in a cage of his kindness' Though I've heard people say that they think the girl is selfish I just think it's human nature. Anyways that's probably the most well written part of the show. Still at the cabin. The waves are hitting the shore quite a bit today. Looks like we're in for a storm tonight! Austin moves into his new place on Thursday. It will nice to have a place to crash where we can actually sleep in and not have to get up 30 mins early to drive to work. Plus he's just really excited. He loves his new job and really likes the money that he's making. He's got a wonderful work ethic, and I love that about him :) Shout out to Kevin! Who finally got his own blog :)

Catwoman

Ok, so I know that technically it really sucks but I enjoy the movie Catwoman with Halle Berry in it. What can I say? I like the whole cheesy superhero thing... Speaking of things I like that everyone else hates...the new justin beiber song, Girlfriend. or maybe it's called boyfriend? Idk, either way I really dig it. So there world! I DON'T ALWAYS AGREE WITH YOU!!! :D Spending another night alone at the cabin. It's pretty lame...I get really sick of the silence. I miss all my theater buddies and I'm already sick of working. Maybe that's just because I'm not used to it though. Or because the jobs are currently very boring. I just have to find a way to liven them up a little bit. Maybe it will get better when the actual summer hits. Then the museum will start to pick up. Austin starts his new job tomorrow. Looks like it's going to be 6AM to 4PM monday thru friday. Tough hours if you ask me, but he loves having a job, so I guess it's good for him. He'll be working putting together storm doors. Lots of shop work like he's used to. I just hope he has a great first day. Mother's day went fairly well. Spent all morning fishing with Mom, but didn't catch anything. Then I worked at the museum all day. It was a party. And by that I mean it was ok and I survived it. Well, ta ta for now.

SUMMERRR

Living at the family cabin in Oakwood for the next couple weeks until I can move into the new house. It's an ok situation, although there is no internet until my family visits and brings the hotspot. As is the situation now. Today is the only day off that I'll have for a few weeks. So I spent it with the family in Watertown. Went to the zoo and then to the old operahouse to have a DELICIOUS dinner! Got to randomly see Michael from SDSU. It's always wonderful to see him. Tomorrow is Mother's Day! Not sure what I'll do yet. Cross that bridge when I come to it.

First day of summer work

SO...blogger lets me see who is looking at my blog in terms of their location in the world, and it would appear that there are several people in India who read this...? I guess that's cool! Drop a comment and tell me why! First day of summer work was today. 9:30 to 5:30 at the Children's Museum. It's a good job all things considered, and it helps me build the ole resume. I guess the only downside is that a lot of my co workers are super hard to read. I can never tell if they are happy I'm there or if they can't wait for me to leave. It's not like the Pavilion where everyone was good friends. Tomorrow I start at DQ. Hooray for sexy fast food work. But a girls got to have some mindless work sometimes or she'll go crazy. Plus Dairy Queen can be fun. It's really low stress if you don't care very much, and that description is fairly accurate to me. I promised pictures from Austin and I's trip, so here they be!

This one was just a simple one in Reptile Gardens! I LOVE REPTILE GARDENS SOOO MUCH! :D

Back!

Gah so I haven't been using this for a while. And this summer I'm going to try to pick it up again! Robert has informed me that it saddens him that I don't write anymore, so here it goes! Got a second job at DQ for the summer! So even though I'll be uber busy I will also be uber rich. So that's fairly exciting. Plus I miss the screw around atmosphere that DQ afforded me. So that should be fun! Austin and I just got back from a vacation! We went to the black hills for the weekend to blow off some post finals steam. We did a lot of things (wink wink) but the best was probably going to Reptile Gardens! There were of course a shit ton of animals to stare at and I loved every second of it. He's the first person I've been who is as much of an animal nerd as I am. It's really fun to be able to share that with someone. Pictures of the vacation will be posted eventually. Gotta go work at the Children's Museum tomorrow. I've found that my new favorite thing to do there is paint faces. I asked one little boy who was probably 12 how long he'd been there and he said 'well in this dimension about 3 hours...but in an alternate one who knows??! Maybe one millisecond!!' and then he asked me to paint a sea monster on his hand. Needless to say, I was thrilled and wanted to adopt him :) Totally addicted to the new HBO show Girls. It's SO GOOD and the writing really touches me. The main character, Hannah, is so true to what real life is like, and I adore that. Plus the general humor of the show is dark and honest which is my very favorite. Been struggling with lots of inner demons lately. Sometimes I wonder if I made a mistake not transferring to USD. Maybe things like old flames holding grudges wouldn't suck as much. But alas, I chose to remain. And as they say, I made my bed now I gotta lie in it. I've been elected President of Campus Women's Coalition again as well AND I've also been elected to serve as an at large senator for SA. I'm pretty excited about it all. I'm hoping to make a difference for the students. Well, I gotta crash before my early mornin' shift. NIGHT!
