Not good
So yesterday I was all excited because I finally found the disc that my resume was on. My sister made it for me and it (was) pretty spiffy looking.
Today...now actually...I try to open the pdf file, and adobe tells me the file is broken and can't be repaired.
My sister made the resume at her last job, so the original file is gone other than this disc. uggggggggggh.
Ok, anyway...
The snow has all melted and the weather is beeeeeaaauuuutiful here. I found this very exciting yesterday and talked Jonathan into taking me to Montreal's Chinatown. We go there and...It's the size of an average LA block! Nothing to see here! When the last Chinatown you visited was San Francisco's, Montreal will be a definite let down. No problem, we say, and head over to the old port near old Montreal. Now, last time we went it was mid-december, cold, foggy and empty. Yesterday? THE PLACE WAS A ZOO! Worse than Disneyland in July, no joke! I was totally shocked and overwhelmed. There's not even much there except some touristy shops, the kind that sell maple syrup and scarf's with canadian emblems on them, and a couple of pretty crappy street vendors. Some guy was doing some fire tricks with one of those torches made to be lit on fire and it was kind of lame after youve seen some of the stuff girls in the desert can do with flames on strings! Really, it was just confusing. People were just lying about. Maybe they view it as sort of a park? Jonathan says its cause there really isn't anything to do here and I think I believe him now. So we pushed our way through this apparently aimless mob, found a restaurant on a less crowded side street and ate steak that was good but more expensive than it should have been. At this point, I was disappointed and over fighting crowds for nothing so we went home.
We get back and decide to check out what's playing at the little indie theatre in our complex. We see they have "steamboy," the new anime from the guy who made akira and decide to try it out. Now let me save you a couple of hours of your life and tell you to avoid seeing this. I get that he was trying to do something new by setting this story in England around the industrial revolution, but man, BORING! A third of the way through Jonathan asks if I'd like to leave, but I am so fascinated by how bad it is that I decide to stay and see if I can at least grasp what the hell is going on. Not so. More explosions and big machines that defy physics laws (you can't defy physics laws in THE PAST! Sorry, it already happened) all leading up to the least suspenseful suspense of all time. What seemed like an eternity passed and the movie was somehow still going, so I decided at this point that no sense would ever come of this and left.
Way to have our attempts at fun fail at every turn! We kept a good attitude about it I think, but MAN! NO FAIR!
In larger news, I will probably be returning soon. I just have to muster enough will to actually buy the ticket. Turns out I missed the application deadline by even more than I thought I did. International applicants should have applied by FEB. 1! I left FEB. 9! Why do I even talk to counselors anymore? They always give me the wrong information. So that and no work visa means my visitor's visa is up in August. But there are only so many video games a girl can play before she loses her mind. We've beat Champions of Norrath (and Return to Arms) too many times to not be embarrassed about it I think. I also enjoyed Fable, but this is getting ridiculous. I do have a gym membership now though, and I want to get some good fitness in before I dont have a gym downstairs. I don't know, it's just hard to voluntarily leave here and do MORE long distance. What I would give to just be able to leave a toothbrush at my boyfriend's place. It's really fucked up to have to either live together or never see each other.
Ok, I think I'm done throwing my thoughts everywhere in an incoherent way. MISS YOU ALL!
