.:reflections of twilight:.

I was watching Mona Lisa Smile last night, and I was struck by something during the wedding reception scene. I think Tori Amos has a cameo! I had to do a double take. I was like, "Wait a minute? Is that who I think it is? It looks like her." *listens a bit* "It sounds like her!" I watched the second showing just to be sure, and it was definitely her. So I was oddly pleased. She's even on the soundtrack. I would've squeaked, but mom would've looked at me funny.

Well, the job fair went pretty well yesterday. There were a ton of people there. I think it was due to the fact it was also advertised on the local radio station. I didn't have long to wait, actually since I was called up fairly quickly. The interview itself went pretty well, I thought. I didn't stumble over the answers to the questions like I thought I might. I didn't feel as nervous as I thought I was going to, either. So now I have to wait and see if they'll call me back.

Mom and my aunt are going to go out to a pottery store tomorrow morning (and possibly elsewhere). They don't get to do much together, so I think it'll be nice. Then sometime tomorrow we definitely need to get groceries. The cupboards are dwindling.

And now I am off to hunt a pic of Ayame on the phone for my newly "adopted" lil' bro pathseeker.

Trivia of the day: Since housecats are clean and their coats are dry and glossy, their fur easily becomes charged with electricity. Sparks can be seen if their fur is rubbed in the dark.

We have these feathery toys called "Flutter Balls" and Ori likes to chew the feathers off of them. The other two (well, mostly Moon), just plays and pounces on them like cats tend to do. Like I said. Fruitcakes.

Well, my trip to the pool yesterday didn't go as planned. For some reason, it was closed. Now, the hours are from 8AM to 10PM and I went sometime in early afternoon. I went to go to the office to ask why it was closed, but the office was closed as well. I may try again either today or tomorrow depending. But I'll be sure to look and see if it's open first...

I have to print off some resumes for a job fair my mom's work is having tomorrow evening. I also have to get my "professional clothes" out. I'll go, but I'm not counting on anything. It'll probably be mostly secretarial stuff. Now, I have nothing against medical secretaries as a profession, I just don't think it's right for me. I've seen what all my mom has to do. It's not so much the hard work. I can handle that, it's the phones. I loathe talking on the phone. I think it has to do with my voice and the fact it's difficult for people to understand me over the phone. Sometimes even in person. Plus, I always sound awkward and flustered when I have to talk to someone over the phone. *shudders* Which is why I want to primarily focus on data entry, where all I have to do is sit at a desk and input stuff into a computer (kinda like what I do here, only I'd get paid for it).

Mom had a rough day at work yesterday and it's always a bit tense whenever she comes home. I'm all Ms. Avoidy because I just figure she doesn't want to talk about it. And then I feel tense because she feels tense and it's just a general heaviness in the air. I wish her boss would learn to appreciate her more. She works her ass off for him and he's all bitchy about something that she has absolutely no control over. I'd ask her to work somewhere else, but with the hours she has to work for him, it means more money which we need. Plus, she's been working for him for almost 8 years and not a lot of others really want to work for him because he's usually so difficult. So, I hope today will be much better for her than yesterday was.

Trivia of the day: Parsley is a common herb of the Mediterranean area and was well known to the ancient Greeks. They considered it too sacred to eat. Romans did serve it as a garnish and to improve the taste of food. They believed it had special powers and would keep them sober.

Thanks to everyone who gave their support to me as I was in my doldrums yesterday. I really appreciated it.

Things are better today. I mean, the situation hasn't changed, just my outlook. Of course, I could relapse and find myself down in the dumps again, but time will tell.

I may -- may-- have a possible job. A potentally cool job. A guy who's in the praise band at my church owns a guitar shop. He actually makes and sells guitars (and I think other stringed instruments as well). He needs some help in his shop to ease the workload for him somewhat. I've been mulling it over and I think I'll talk to him on Sunday and see what it entails before I commit myself or not. Of course, I know next to nothing about guitars, but I think I can learn.

There's also a job fair at the local community college. I may pop on over and take a look. Of course, I cave to correct the typos on my resume that someone made for me. I mean, how professional would it look if you hand someone a resume and you have 'available' misspelled on it.

My car sitch is still somewhat iffy. Mom put some anit-freeze in it this morning. I'm not going anywhere today (unless I go to the job fair thingy), so I'll have to watch my gauges and stuff. Tomorrow I have to take grandma to her volunteering and I'm gonna tell her that we can't go to anywhere else, really.

Quote of the day: "If my hands are fully occupied in holding onto something, I can neither give nor recieve." -- Dorothee Solle <-- actually yesterday's quote, but I didn't feel like putting it up.
