Whew.

Trying to find a job is probably the most aggravating thing. I wish it was like back in the day were you just show up and they’re like “I love your moxy, kid” and then you’re hired. Oh well. It looks like I’m going be doing some temp work, I think it works out perfect. It’ll get me some experience and god knows maybe one of the companies will be like “I like your moxy” and hire me. all I know is that I want moxy to be part of the process.

“This Year” by The Mountain Goats. This song is so earnest and true. “I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me” who hasn’t been there? It’s the sort of thing that makes you incredibly hopeful and also completely heartbroken. Whew.

I woke up early with Matt this morning. After seeing him off, I watched the Today show. Now, I’m not a "home maker" or really an adult so maybe I just didn’t get it. But Matt Lauer and Al Roker are just too queer. And I’m not talking about being gay, they did a faux performance of “tandem men’s rhythmic gymnastics” that was just so odd. I knew it was supposed to be funny but instead it just made me cringe. I don’t know maybe I am the one who is getting too old for this shit. So I turned off the TV and took a nap. It was so great. Oh man. If naps weren’t such a waste of time I wouldn’t feel so bad. But they are and I do.

But the Olympics, huh? People are going crazy over them lately. I don’t know if it’s because the USA is doing pretty good, or I’ve just been that oblivious 4 years ago and then 4 years before that. But things I’ve learned from the Olympics:
Communist China is scary, sad and amazing.
People get pissed over gymnastics.
Michael Phelps is God on earth… in a Speedo body suit.
Bob Costas dyes his hair.
Jamaicans are fucking fast.

I watched Rushmore yesterday. I think definitely one of my favorites. “Yeah I was in the shit” “She was my Rushmore!” “Tell that Mick he just made my list of things to do today”

Oooh. Whew.
