How come I end up where I started? How come I end up where I went wrong?
In case you were wondering if it's possible to significantly improve an opinion of a movie by playing Iron & Wine in the final scene and Radiohead during the ending credits, the answer is, apparently, yes. Thanks to those excellent musical decisions, I almost enjoyed Twilight. But to be honest, even they weren't quite enough. The book was okay. Entertaining and an easy read. But the movie... my goodness. Horrible. Of course, that's not to say that I won't read the second book and see the second movie. I probably will. I don't expect anything good from either, but somehow I have a feeling that I'll end up doing both those things.
Probably because I very much enjoy vampires stories, even if they are sparkly and ridiculous. Even if I'm aware that the show/book/movie/whatever is bad, I continue to watch. For example, Moonlight. What a stupid show. But am I furious that it was canceled? ABSOLUTELY. It's a good thing I discovered True Blood to fill the void. Luckily that show is actually good, vampires or not. I was beginning to think that this addiction of mine was a problem.
Anyway... I was away at the beach with my family from the 11th to the 25th, hence the lack of updates. Not that I update all that frequently, but... yeah. I'm using that as an excuse. The vacation was great. I haven't had that much fun in Sea Isle in years. I guess I've learned to appreciate time off more. I played board games with my family, and sometimes Brett's friends. JC actually beat my mom and I at Scrabble. So embarrassing. And the weekend that some people came up to visit was AWESOME. I'm so glad they came. But it's good to be home, I guess... and back to the real world.
I haven't been able to find a new job since I lost the one at Target. I'm going to fill out more applications tomorrow, but at this point I'm running out of reasonable places to apply. I might have to settle for a job almost an hour away, which would be terribly inconvenient when school starts up again. Oh well, I'll figure it out. Maybe the economy will bounce back.
