Maybe it's from watching Sicko with Maya a few days ago, or living in the South, or maybe this happens every summer, but I've been feeling more nationalistic than usual. So far I've only been expressing that nationalism by listening to less international music and more American bands, but hopefully someone from NSA will pick up on this and give me that most American of rewards: a job.
Yeah, the whole job search thing got demoralizing pretty quickly. I had a hard enough time spending an hour and a half writing down bullshit until my hand aches when I knew it was gonna get me closer to having a college degree. It's another story altogether when I don't even know for sure if it'll get me any closer to that "Telephone Service Representative" job I've had my eye on.
On the plus side, I just snagged a bunch of They Might Be Giants and Talking Heads cassettes and a VHS copy of Total Recall, all for under 5 bucks. Oh yeah, and the predictive text function on my new cell phone is pretty good.
