The Good, The Better And The Meh

It's been awhile since I did a full CD review on here so let me tell you about Kelly Clarkson's new All I Ever Wanted. It's more and more awesome with every listen. It's not as good as her previous two albums. She has less writing credits with this album so it's less personal or "personally personal" as it contains genuine emotion but in the more generic sense. The sensible side of me wants to say the songs she actually did write are the best but I really can't say that. My favorite tracks are "All I Ever Wanted", "My Life Would Suck Without You" (Which she didn't write) and "Already Gone" (Which she co-wrote with one other). I know this can't be the first example of an album that combines phat (which is in Firefox's vocab apparently) beats touching lyrics throughout the entire album but it's the first I've thoroughly enjoyed.

Yesterday, our final movie was The Spirit. It was very good but the cheese factor was worse in places than Black Scorpion. I learned several things. Scarlett Johansson could wear the dorkiest shit and be hot as hell. Her upcoming turn as Black Widow will be awesome even if she flubs every line! Conversely, Eva Mendez is not fugly by any means but she needs wardrobe assistance I think...Finally, Samuel L. Jackson somehow puts out the same damn performance with every movie and it's hit or miss. Here, it works well...Honestly, I preferred Sarah Paulson in Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip then here but overall, again, I enjoyed this...

An update into the more personal. The university is interviewing their candidates and hope to make a decision by the end of the month. I'm hoping it takes longer as I wasn't contacted but that's just me...

The second agency I tried, or the first non-sketchy one if you prefer, turned down my query as wasn't what they were looking for right now. I had high hopes for this as the others on my list are more well-known and probably would be even less interested. I don't know what I'll do...

Also, my parents and I planned to go to Canada at the end of the month but then we realized that new law took effect and I now can't go because I don't have a passport! I had hoped to start the process and went down to my local PO but only the main branch does this. I found a website for an expedited one but unless I pay a lot of money even that wouldn't be ready... Argh!

Random Comments Into My Life

We did yardwork yesterday. I picked up a lot of sticks. Home Depot sucks on a Friday morning. My father and I went to get a new gascan for the mower and there was only one employee around to help us...and she didn't know anything about how these new fangled gas cans work... So due to a bank error when I reset my bank account so I could accurately keep track again, I had like a hundred dollars less in my account than I thought so my last bill payment put me in the hole. This would've been all right and easily fixed if I had been paid for the last week of my mailroom job but, oddly, I still have not been even though it's been weeks. I don't know if I can accurately convey how infuriated this makes me. If it doesn't happen soon, heads will roll! Also yesterday I re-watched the Enterprise episode "Regeneration"; this time with audio commentary from the writers. They made some valid points I hadn't considered on the issue of if this episode screws with...

Remind Me

Remind me to complain how boring and unexciting my life more often because as soon as I did, it got really exciting really fast. Last night, we had four visitors arrive from Korea. They like ziti and garlic bread. Go figure. They will be staying until Sunday night. I told my mother (AKA Hyacinth Bucket) she was making way too much salad but did she listen? No. Now we have this huge-ass bowl of salad in the fridge...What's really irritating is first the fork we use to serve catfood went missing now Susie's dish is missing as well... Tomorrow, I have a physical to prepare for my surgery then I go to my orthopedist's to fill out consent forms. Woo Hoo! I hope I can find time for a haircut as well because... Friday, I have a job interview at a library in Massachusetts! It's a reference job but I also will be conducting a book group. I've never done that but it sounds really fun. Sure, I'll be stuck reading many book that sucks but isn't that what book group i...

Your soul is bound to the Second Totem, Luna: The Wolf . Luna appears as a pair of coral colored wolves. She embodies empathy, nurturing, insight, and warmth . She is associated with the color coral, the season of spring, and the element of wind. Her downfall is pathos. You are most compatible with Doves and Ravens. Which Animal Spirit Totem Are You? brought to you by Quizilla I think I only clicked one of those qualities; maybe more. Odd but at least I'm not a Cockroach...
