jobs, crosswords, movies, ewan mcgregor

[cali]

So I've been applying for jobs. So far I've applied to Apple Store, Origins, Aveda, Anthropologie, and Good Vibrations. I really want to work for good vibes, but it's been a week and they haven't called me yet, so I don't know what to think. Also, I'm thinking about applying to the Mayor's Office of Protocol. Would that be weird? I'm thinking yes, but it could be interesting.

Onto other things: the more of a real life I have, the less inclined I am to post to livejournal. It's sort of a pattern with me. And real life has been hectic of late. Randomly? I've been doing a lot of crossword puzzles. I'm getting so good at them! The New York Times puzzle still foils me, but I swear someday soon I will be able to fill in at least half of those answers.

Fandom stuff: I watched Shattered Glass the other day. Hayden Christensen is really good in it. What a fascinating story. I also watched The Notebook because Ryan Gosling is a hotass. I was pretty much blown away. Rachel McAdams didn't look anything like she did in Mean Girls. That was the weirdest part, but the movie was good. It's such a beautiful story.

Lastly: The Adventures of Pete and Pete's first season is out on DVD. I bought it for $26 and I can't even explain how utterly cool this is. Do you guys remember this show? It was so fucking weird. I have no clue how the hell nickelodeon approved it. Seriously. All those old Nick shows were wonderfully offbeat. But Pete and Pete takes the cake. What other kids television show could have gotten, Steve Buscemi, Iggy Pop, Adam Smith, Janeane Garofalo, LL Cool J, Patty Hearst, Michael Stipe, and Hunter S. Thompson? Their list of guest stars is insane. I miss those days, man.

Okay, really, the last thing: If I were to start uploading episodes of The Long Way Round and sharing them on a weekly basis would you guys be interested? There are 7 episodes total so I'd be posting them over 7 weeks so that I can conserve my bandwidth. But the upside would be Ewan McGregor on a motorbike for 7 glorious hours. Alternatively, you could download the giant 2 and a half gig torrent, or I can mail you the episodes on a dvd if you can pay for postage.

episodes on DVD YEAH i would pay for postage PLUS I GIVE YOU FREE SEX.

another one of my friends applied to good vibes, too. they haven't called her back. :( she wants to work there for the discount, because she's been having "a dry summer." her words.

working for the mayors office, koooooool.

ren and stimpy, i think, has to be, hands down, the most insane.

Where should I send them? Or do you want to be extra brave and like, have coffee or something?

I'm feeling better about the good vibes thing now, knowing that they haven't called someone else too. Maybe they're just really slow at hiring. I just want to work there cause it's worker-owned and I think it'd be fun.

Gavin Newsom is hot in that weird politician sort of way.

I totally forgot about Ren and Stimpy! That show was nuts! It's log, it's log, it's big it's heavy it's wood.

GLEE. have you visited the embarcadero pier yet? wanna have gelato's in lieu of coffee? it would have to depend on my schedule at walgreens, though, since they like to have my shifts all over the place.

gavin newsom is totally hot. and newly single!

it's the happy! happy! joy! joy! song!

[theantimodel.livejournal.com]

I've been the the pier but it's been forever. I love gelato! (i totally wrote gelator first and doesn't that sound like a robot video game name?) I won't be able to burn the dvd until this weekend, but just let me know when you're available and I'm down.

I'd *love* to download them, but I have a monthly limit so I might get stuck...although one every week for seven weeks might be okay *g*.

[theantimodel.livejournal.com]

I don't know what your limit is but the files are the size of a regular hour long show (about 345mb). They're definitely worth seeing, I guess you could just try it and see?

Just randomly wandered here (The "Friends of Friends" feature of livejournal is pretty nifty when you're thinking of things to do while suffering from insomnia), but I have to add... Ryan Gosling IS one hot ass, and so is Ewan McGregor (... which is why I've been dying to see The Long Way Round). And, with that, I depart :)

[zzb.livejournal.com]

And just to add... Hope you don't mind if I friended you. We share common interests and political views, it seems.

[theantimodel.livejournal.com]

The long way round is brilliant, too. Ewan has got to be one of my favorite actors.

If you get an interview at the Apple store, let me know what it was like. I'm like *this* close to doing the same thing. And if you actually get a job there, let me please place an order for a PowerBook through you at discount. *not kidding*

I know the employees get an insane discount. :)

[crownzeal.livejournal.com]

Totally forgot about the Ewan eps--I'm going with the postage route!

[theantimodel.livejournal.com]

Cool, let me know where to send it and I'll burn it this weekend.

[theantimodel.livejournal.com]

The guy I talked to at the Apple store said they were interveiwing people right now and that I'll either hear from them soon, or not. He said that it took him 2 months to get an interview there, so I'm not really sure what to think of my chances at this point. I'd love the discount though, so I'm really hoping they call. I'll keep you updated on it.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I would *love* to DL them, but can't on my connection. Does your offer still stand? I would love to have copies.

[theantimodel.livejournal.com]

Absolutely, just let me know where to send it.

[fearlessdiva.livejournal.com]

Dude, I am absolutely *desperate* for the 7th ep, which I never got when it was floating around torrent. Can download no problem. Would trade you something if I had anything you wanted. Would less than three you forever.
