I Made Beef For Dinner

Buck, my car, is broken. Very broken. It still works, yes. But, one of my parents put a dent in one side, and my mom last night somehow scraped the right-hand rearview mirror off of the car. Well, it still hangs by a few wires, but it's no longer functional.
I would like to note that my car is in worse shape (and has been damaged more) with my parents driving it around than with me. I'm a youth, shouldn't it be the other way around?

Today I had an interview with Lattitude, a media marketing research company, for a summer job-ish thing. I really, really liked it there. Totally wonderful atmosphere, and they do something that actually interests and excites me! Oh, and one of the guys working there is fresh out of college, and looks like that punk-rocker in "Bring It On". Soooooo cute, was I gawking? And he was wicked nice, talked to me for an hour.
Crossing my fingers.

Fred, my computer, is also broken. I was dumb enough to not realize that a virus was passed on from some other computer to mine. Craig tried to fix it all evening. It still has some issues. We may have to erase my computer's memory. I'm devastated.
Worked out at Fitness for You. Going back to the Y probably.

Life here in the burbs is.......quite compelling.

The flight back from London was a long 7 hours. I didn't sleep at all because the sun followed us the entire way back to Boston. I read some of "Cloud Atlas", ate too much (Virgin Atlantic food is great), and watched 2 shows. "Good Night, and Good Luck" was wonderful, I really applaud that cast. "Sex Traffic" is a 3 hour show about human trafficing in Bosnia/Sarajevo. I was really into it, super interesting. However, 20 minutes before it ended, the plane turned off the screen for landing. Damnit. I swore a bit.
I was immersed into immediate culture shock. I heard Texan accents in the customs line, the weather was hotter, and CNN was on the TV. I didn't remember American news on CNN being so sensationalized and NOT IMPORTANT! Honestly? I don't care if the Royal Family watches American Idol. I really don't.

In more recent news....
I can't believe it is so difficult to find a job here in Massachusetts.
I have put my name back in with the temp agencies, because I've applied to millions of internships and other paying jobs, and none of them have pulled through.
Luckily, Melissa at Officeteam seems hopeful. She likes me a lot, and says that she's been really pulling out the stops in trying to help me find a job. God bless.
I went to a job interview today. Much to my dismay, however, it was a company that sells Kirby vacuums door-to-door. Not OK.
On a seperate note, finding apartments in the city for fall semester is nearly impossible right now.
I have so much stuff to do this summer!!!
In other news, I am glad to be driving again. And with Buck (my car), nonetheless!

Welcome Home

Back in Massachusetts.
So jetlagged.
Going to bed.
