Welcome to August, the month where I still whine about summer ending and going back to school in September, even though I'm not in school anymore, and it's only August 2nd. I guess old habits are tough to break. Anyway, this is it. It's the final chance for finding a teaching job before another new school year begins. Chances are, it won't happen, but I'm way past feeling sorry for myself. In some ways I find it to be some sort of sign telling me not to do it, which would have been more helpful had I known 3 years ago so I could have graduated without going another year for teaching. So life continues mocking me and everyone else. I hope to visit Point Pleasant at least 2 more times before summer's over, as well as getting up to Boston if all works out ok. Should make for an enjoyable month at least. Kim & I already want to go to Curacao for our next vacation, whenever the hell that may be. First comes job, then money, then paying off debt, then saving money, then vacation. In my world, conversely, the pattern goes: vacation, hopefully job, never having money, you only live once, why not enjoy yourself and be broke before you have major responsibilities.

Ramble on. I finally used my aim account again, but it made me upgrade before I did anything, and I haven't noticed much difference. Saw The Village on Saturday evening, but wasn't impressed. I thought it was slow and I knew what the "twist" was before it was revealed at the end. I'm not a film critic either, but usually I'm easy to appease. I've watched some truly awful movies and didn't complain too much, so compared to the likes of Going Overboard or, say, Star Wars Episode I, it was pretty good. The idea was interesting, but the movie did not do it much justice. Oh well. Two more movies to catch before the end of next weekend that shouldn't disappoint.

I purchased the new Hives cd and the My Chemical Romance cd the other day and like both of them, but I also purchased the Roots new cd and was disappointed because the show was so good compared to the album. I must say, I still enjoy music, but my knowledge and purchasing has dropped off since my days at the music store ended 2 years ago. I don't think there will be a correlation with me buying drugs at my current place of employment and a decline after I leave however. I'm in the mood for Doritos.
