So I'm graduating this May and have been horribly behind on searching and applying for jobs.  Last night, I sent my resume to 4 different jobs, went through a list of 50+ companies that do what I'm interested in to find those that have local branches (only about a dozen did!), and found several places to keep an eye on in case they ever post a job.  Progress, yes, but still behind.  At least that's what I thought . . .

I got a call this evening from one of the jobs I applied to (totally wasn't expected it!).  They said that they had already done first round interviews, but wanted to talk to me since I had the kind of background they were looking for.  They then proceeded to give me a first-round interview over the phone right then and there.  Um, yeah  . . . I was soo freaked.  Not only was the interview over the phone, which is kinda hard, and not only did I have absolutely no notice (and therefore, no prep time), but this was my FIRST EVER interview!!

I really hoped they liked me, cuz this job would be awesome.  She did say she would talk to the president to see where she wants to take it since I'm a late addition and that they would let me know by the end of the week.  That could be good, right?

 

*and I'm still kinda shaking from the adrenaline high*

going through fanfic withdrawal
bones, b&b
[info]jagladymac

Alright, I admit it . . . I'm addicted to fanfic.  Ridiculously, completely, it's-taken-over-my-life addicted.  Now this is not a new development in any way, shape or form.  But I have just realized the last two days how often I actually refresh my lj and check ff.net (while mostly bad writing, there are some great writers there) for new fics. Since ff.net has been down, I have checked it constantly every 15 minutes (when I'm online).  No joke. 

This is bad, right?  I shouldn't be doing this, should I?

*whimper* Why does it have to be today that it's down? I'm stuck at school for 4 hours, and I'm not only caught up on school reading, I'm actually ahead!  ff.net is usually good for a little entertainment at least, but no . . . I have nothing to read now (except fics I have saved that I've read already, but, while they are good, my brain craves newness).


god, i need a life . . . or a significant other . . . or chocolate.  if i can't have fic, i'd settle for any of these.

 Ok, so I decided to give In Plain Sight a chance.  It was decent, but honestly, there were some scenes where my mind just screamed "hey look it's Veronica Mars re-incarnated!"  Those scenes were funny, but they simply didn't have the awesomeness of Kristen Bell.   I may have to watch a few more eps (on re-runs of course cuz ARMY WIVES returns next week!!) to decide if I want to commit or not.

Any of you out there watch it?

Oh, and I'm totally a dork, because I downloaded the original DOS version of Doom 1 today and spent a few hours playing it.  God, that game brought me back . . . ah, the good old days of DOS.

So . . . tonight's SGA . . .

spoilers )

*headdesk* Seriously?!?

Ok, so I was on Fanfiction.net just now and while on the TV Shows page, my eyes just happened to glance at the number of fics for Hannah Montana and noticed that the number for Hannah Montana is almost the same as the number of fics for Bones.  And it has surpassed the number of fics for my first fandom, JAG.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?????

Don't get me wrong, I think Miley is just a bundle of cuteness and pretty, and I loved her dad when I was growing up (I swear I'm not as old as I sound), and I have all her songs on my computer b/c they are a huge hit for the girls I babsit (and I admit most of them aren't half bad), but SERIOUSLY!?   

The long-running JAG and the awesome Bones are just so much more fic-inspiring!!  It will be a sad day in life when the number of fics for Hannah Montana outnumber those of Bones.  (I am too scared to even go to the fic page b/c I know who the target demographics are and how much drama and bad writing they have in RL *shudders*)

I guess I can take comfort that both the Stargates still have more fics, but it's not much comfort . . . 


(in honor of this post, I did indeed put on a HM song, though . . . pathetic, I know)

So, I don't know if someone has already mentioned this nifty little fact, but I was watching some youtube clips of Bones a couple weeks ago and noticed something funny about one of the characters.  I checked the credits and found that my initial guess was right . . .

Did anyone else notice that Tessa from Bones is Cutthroat Bitch (or Amber if you prefer) from House?

For some reason, this seems exceedingly funny to me and somehow fitting.

Anyway, I just remembered tonight that I never posted this little tidbit of information for anyone else to enjoy.

 Life is just . . . guh, it can't be a good sign when my mind is so tired that it can't find a sufficient word to finish that sentence . . . but oddly enough I can still spell a word like 'sufficient' when I normally stumble over it at least once.  My mind never ceases to amaze me.

Anyway, mind is on overload due to midterms, turn-in assignments, projects and reading up the wazoo.  I am trying to squeeze more work than normal in this week because I will be away this weekend and won't have time to do it then.  The bad thing? This week was already worse than normal because of projects and midterms.

I am so tired already, and it is only Tuesday.  This? Is not good.  I really just want to close my eyes and sleep but I can't.  I still have to sit through a meeting and then drive home.  It is already dark outside and that is not exactly condusive (no clue on the spelling on that one) to staying awake. 

AND I'M MISSING BONES TONIGHT!!!! So very sad.  No clue when I will be able to watch!  I think I will cry now . . .

When did Tuesday become a Monday????
bones, b&b
[info]jagladymac
Seriously.  If someone could answer me that question, I'd give you a million bucks . . . or well at least a substantial part of my savings, which isn't much sadly.

Anyways, today was my Monday.  I must have stumbled into a time warp or something because that could be the only explanation for how today became Monday.  This was my day:

I took a test.  I thought I did well.  I found out that half of my answers were not what the teacher was looking for (even though her answers had nothing to do with the questions asked).  Strike one.

I got a test back.  I didn't do as well as I'd hoped (but there is still some hope with the curve system).  Strike two.

I took another test.  I studied several hours today and over the past few days.  I thought I knew what I was doing.  The test had 4 questions.  I got two right, one half right and one completely wrong because that question was on a topic that had been covered for 5 minutes in one class out of weeks of classes on this test.  Strike three.

In all the test-commotion, I forgot to eat until 8 pm, and now I have a headache.  Is there such a thing as Strike four?

I think I'm going to go to bed early and forget today ever happened.

*sigh* Mondays suck, even if they are non-Mondays.

 I don't believe that the following statement has any spoilers for the latest Atlantis ep, but I will preface by saying it is about the latest Atlantis ep:

Ronon and Teyla in almost matching leather (in the first scene) is just hot and love!!

That is all.

ok so i said i was determined not to post anything about heroes until tomorrow, but i'm weak. so in compromise i am going to post two little things now and if i have time tomorrow, i will post more.  i don't think there are any real spoilers here.

1. hiro's reaction when he saw kensei's (did i spell that right?) face for the first time was absolutely priceless! i just want to give hiro a great big hug for some reason.

2. molly walker is just awesome, especially in one scene -- and those that have seen it, know which one i am talking about.  wow i kinda got chills in that one.

overall, the summer wait was totally worth it, except now waiting a week until a new episode seems like forever!


tomorrow i get to watch BONES, HOUSE and SVU (that is if i get my work and quiz done in time, which i hope i will).  i really can't wait!

this week is gonna rock!

HEROES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[info]jagladymac

i am not ashamed to admit that one of the main reasons -- ok, let's be serious, THE main reason -- i even got out of bed this morning was the fact that HEROES comes back tonite!!!!!!!!!  so very excited (a little too excited because it is making me feel like i don't want to work which is bad).

i am also not ashamed to admit that i am so in love with most every male on that show (yes, even sylar who is hot in his intense evilness).  and i have total girl crushes on ali and hayden who are just completely gorgeous and talented beyond belief.

ok i think my little admiration party is over but i still can't wait!!!

STANDOFF!

[info]jagladymac
I forgot just how good Standoff is!  I haven't been watching the last couple of weeks b/c of SGA, but I decided to watch them on line last night and I am in love again!  God the chemistry between those two . . . I can't even think of a word to describe it.  

Bad thing is now all I want to do is watch the eps online and I can't today cuz I have to work.  Guh, work is no fun sometimes!

So school has been out for awhile now, but I have only been working for about 2 weeks so far.  It's not a bad job, just kinda hectic, but what job isn't?  The only real downside (and a sort upside at the same time) is that I have to live on campus for two months after having lived there the past two years already.  The good news is I have my own room and my own fridge/freezer (which is nice b/c the food does NOT improve over the summer at all!)

I just found out that I get to go to California for a week at the end of the summer to visit my family.  I literally have only seen them about 7 times in my life (and I have more in common with them than my dad's family who I see at least 3 times a year, go figure!).  AND my grandpa wants to take me, my mom, my brother, my three cousins and their families to DisneyLand (which is just awesome, no matter what age you are)!!  And, hey, I may even get to meet my aunt that I have never met.  It is going to be an interesting August (especially since my brother wants to take me to Six Flags the week before we go to CA).  

I think I am going to love this summer (especially since two of my best friends are living and working on campus with me)!!

Ok so spring break is winding down and all I can say is I wish I had two more days to sleep and actually do all the school work I had planned.  Seriously I never actually did any real work, and now tomorrow I will have to study my butt off to get everything done, and I will be dreaming for the next week of getting all the sleep I didn't get this past week.  Spending spring break at home is never a good idea for me.  I spend all my time doing chores for my mom, watching tv and surfing the net instead of reading what I want, sleeping in and getting ahead on all my work.

Anyone else think it is a little unfair that it is my spring break yet my brother (who is not in school) is the one who goes on vacation (to the bahamas no less)? 

I REALLY do NOT want to go back to school tomorrow!

bored . . .

[info]jagladymac

i find myself utterly bored with life right now.  i have stuff i can do but it isn't due for another week or two, so i can't seem to find the motivation to do it.  i have stuff i should do because they're due in the next day or so, but it is such a little amount of work i keep putting it off.  so i'm left with the blah feeling of wanting and needing to do something but not actually having the motivation to do it.  it's a vicious cycle i keep constantly circling.  it's really no fun.

i found a fic that i posted once on fanfiction.net and if i get around to editing it better, then maybe i will post it tonight.

till next time

(oh does anyone know if spamalot is any good? i'm going to see it tomorrow and wondered if it is worth the trouble of using the free ticket or not)

Hello anyone who may be bored enough to read this! I am completely useless when it comes to stuff like this, but I am going to try (don't expect too much variety or too many updates because life is . . . well life, ya know?).  I don't have much to say right now so that's it for me now.

(I really only posted this so I would have something on my lonely, lonely journal)
