So I had to quit Barnes. Over the past week or more since my last post, Barnes kind of grew on me, but it just grew into this huge impossible problem. There was no way I could work off of three different work schedules. So right now I am going to work at the Webster Square Starbucks and the one at the Pheasant Lane Mall... which ironically, worked out perfectly. So I get to be neighbors with Kallie. Working at the Pheasant Lane Starbucks is hillarious though. Its so dead that all the partners make up these games and it just reminds me so much of the Olympics episode of the office. Anyways, there is this game where we throw large chunks of ice into the big bucket on top if this rack in the back room. We also have 3 of the old South American promotion monkeys around the mall, one at Starbucks, one at The Body Shop, and one at Crabtree and Everlyn. Ours is named Henry... I dont know why, and the one at the Body Shop is named Chen Chen, after Crabtree and Everlyn's #1 banned shop lifter. The one at Crabtree and Everlyn is named Henryetta, and she is Henry's girlfriend. Right now Henry and Chen Chen are in this huge war I guess? Anyways, this crazy girl at my store got all of her little brother's GI Joe stuff and dressed him up like a real warrior. This is kind of embarrassing. Its funny working at the mall because you know about everyone's shit. Mall gossip is amusing.
Today I bought a ton of stuff from Barnes since it was the last day I could use my discount. I bought the Finding Nemo soundtrack because I got to meet Thomas Newman and its really cool to apply all that he spoke about in his seminar to the actual score. I also got the Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack because I really like the quasi-lattin stuff in it. Im also working with this girl who has a brother that graduated from Berklee in 05, and now he works for the BSO and Tanglewood. This is reassuring.
So we watched Babel last night. It was really good. Depressing- to an extent- but good. I was thinking about it all day at work, and it makes a lot of sense after a while, especially with the help of my bible studier Kallie... haha. Thinking about it now, it reminds me a lot of these plays by Ionesco that we read in literary rebellion last semester. His plays were all absurdist and they all focused on the complexities of human communication. Communication in the sense that we fail to do it so often, but also in the sense that it is a miracle how often things actually work so effortlessly. Anyways, its good. Go see it.
