Thoughts for today
Garden
I have been getting my garden ready, which is much fun, and some hard work. I put some seeds in the little starter thing on Saturday, and the tomato ones are already so big that they need to be moved. They are tall and thin and ready to fall over, so I will get some soil, and move them to flats or starter pots tonight. What is up with that? I generally fail at going plants form seed for this reason, they grow up, way faster then they grow out, they can't support themselves and they fall over. I am hoping moving them, planting them all the way down fixes this. I very much need to finish my second set of side walk gardens this weekend, so I can plant in them in a few weeks. I know I am taking a risk starting so early, but if it works out, it will pay off, I will get tomatoes before it gets to hot and dry, so they will be lots and good quality. Or there will be a freeze and everything will die and I will have to restart the game.
Movies and TV
I saw Repo: The Genetic Opera a few days ago. It was quite good, I loved the costumes. And Anthony Head was amazing. I had only heard him sing on Buffy a few time, and I liked him there. Speaking of Buffy I have been watching that again, and I am in season 6, and still just as annoyed as I was the last time I watched it. How come the watchers council does not pay Buffy? They have tons of money, she puts her life on the line for their cause every day, so why don't they make up so fake organization, say she is the secretary and pay her lots of money, so she can keep being the slayer full time? It does not make sense for her to work fast food. Also why does Giles leave? The job of the watcher is to teach, help, and watch the slayer. He is supposed to say with her until she dies, and keep a journal of it for later watchers and slayers. They should send someone else if he does not want to do it, just for the journal part, it is like Joss knew where he was taking the show in Season 7, and decided not to bother with doing it correctly. Except for the sex scenes with Spike, Season 6 is horrible. Spike is they only thing that moves the story along, and Buffy spends most of her time whining and crying about him, flip floping between "I hate him, he is evil, I should not want him" and "It is wrong to use him". Why over think it Buffy? You have the lame even though you are my hero. I started watching Angel for the first time this week, and so far all I have to say is that sure is alot of Angel to deal with. I hear it gets better, but really a guy shots his teeth at someone.
Oh, started watching Citizen Kane last night, been putting that off for a while, because I was afraid it would be boring (lots of older movies are), but it is great so far, I am really interested in the story. I really wish I did not know the whole rosebud thing, that takes something away.
Job stuff
I am going to try to volunteer for the IRS doing taxes for low income people this year, but getting in touch with the right people is hard. I wish I had known about this sooner, it might be to late for me to get certified now. Nothing on the job front. I really thought something would come up in January, and it has not, and I feel sort of cheated. I know that is stupid, but it is how I feel. I feel like I did my part, so it should just happen. I put in the time at school, I made the good grades, I got the degree, I wrote the resume, I got some job experience, so now- Job. That is the way it works. Meh. I have been really, really depressed the last few weeks. I think it has more to do with this lack of job situation than anything else.
