i am so fucking tired from work, 10:30 to 6:30 today as night cook (i know its not night but the kitchen closes at 6:30 cuz old people go to bed at 7). this wouldn't really suck if i didn't have to work the same shift tomorrow and the next day, and then go in for 7-3 aide shifts the following 2 days....thinking of my biggish paychecks isn't really consolation since i won't get the money from this for another couple weeks and i'm tired NOW. oh well....i've got cookies in the oven to bring to a LAN party. i know i'm dead tired but i won't be able to fall asleep for hours anyway so i thought i'd do something nice, being an awesome girlfriend does require some maintenance. :P

much scariness was discussed on one break at work today, a couple of the residents have hooked up and apparently one of the administrators found them locked in the library together....these people are OLD. its nasty. the nurses were discussing what to do to avoid that happening again and figured they'd just end up in the woman'd room cuz her roommate's been in the hospital for like a month, but the roommate's family might come in to get some of her stuff or something like that and that would be awkward to say the least....anyway, ewwwwww.

i had an interview at one of the Portland Goodwills last week, it seemed to go well, the manager said she'd make calls Friday or Monday. i talked to my boss today tho, she called to make sure i didn't need anything (one good thing about my job is that everyone is willing to help each other out...well, almost everyone) and told me she'd gotten a call for the reference and she'd call them back Monday morning, which i think is a bad thing cuz the manager at Goodwill may have given the job to someone else while she waited but who knows, i'll stick it out till the end of Monday and if i don't get a call, its back to distributing resumes....again.

i watched Spun last night, it was stupid as fuck. a lot of it was obviously copied from (or "inspired by") Requiem for a Dream. but only the drug stuff, like the closeups of needles and intravenous shots and dilating pupils and shit. then there were the retarded sex animations, any time anything sexual happened there were gay sexual animations (not gay homosexual, gay stupid). and i didn't give a fuck about any one of the characters, in fact they all annoyed me to the point that i wanted bad shit to happen to them, tho i was not disappointed in that respect. and Brittany Murphy as a coked up stripper was just ridiculous, and annoying.

last night i went to dinner with Emily and her friend Nick, who's the most kickass Bowdoin student ever. he hates the rest of the students because they ARE snobby rich kids. he's an actor who hates theater people, too - it was nice to hang out with an actor after all these anti-theater years, he's hilarious. he's also a vegetarian and he spent time in Australia/New Zealand working on an organic farm, during which time he was vegan. for dinner we went to the Sea Dog brewpub cuz my mom had told me they had some tasty vegetarian stuff on their menu, and did they ever. you all should go there just for the artichoke spinach dip, its one of the tastiest things i've ever eaten, comes in a way yummy breadbowl too (which was compared to the eggs in Alien by Nick, but whatever). they have veggie burgers and fake chicken sandwiches too, and a lot of the stuff on the menu would've been just as tasty sounding if the meat was left out. so hooray!!

well, my cookies are done and i don't have much else of importance to say. wheeeeeee.
