August Rush


It's been like a million years since I last poster here, so here's one of my typical update posts. (In time I'll also review my latest sega genesis purchases as well). So I've been working at PETCO for a little over a month now and that's been going quite smoothly. It can be pretty demanding with all the duties like; cashiering, restocking, taking care of all the animals, bagging crickets, cleaning and assembling cages, tuesday and thursday night freight and all the other small jobs, but at least I can say there's never a dull moment. I'm learning a lot anyways but I mostly prefer just working the front register and occasionally "closing" animals, you know like feeding them as the store closes. I'm not really too interested in talking about right now but you get the idea, seems like a pretty good first job and hopefully it'll give me plenty of diverse work experience, hurray!

I'm currently registering for what I hope is my last year at BCC, now officially Bellevue College according to the latest packet I got, so let's hope I can get enough credits for my associates. After that I still plan to transfer somewhere else for an additional two years or so to finish off my next degree. I've got a few ideas for different schools and talked to BCC counselors but I'll wait till I'm sure of something before I divulge any info, it seems very possible that I can finish my education in state.

Been pretty bored with a lot of the music and current movies I've been checking out lately, though I have high hopes for District 9. Seems like there might be some good stuff coming out next month with a new Ricky Gervais comedy The Invention of Lying, a new workplace comedy from Mike Judge Extract and that quirky looking new Matt Damon/Steven Soderbergh film The Informant!, so hopefully they'll be something good out of those. I'm still waiting for an album I can really embrace this year but who knows what's coming and when. Jet has a new album coming out next week but I'm keeping my expectations low due to the lameness of the lead off single. Lately I've mostly been listening to some older 70s bands again like The Raspberries, not to mention I've been revisiting the music of the Fab Four once again for you know what, awesome.

Still hope to get in a few more shorts and video productions before the end of summer. AJ and I are going to be working on a faux horror movie trailer he's been wanting to do for a while. I've been pretty much putting it off but we brainstormed a few weeks back and I think it could be very funny. We might film some stuff this Saturday if anyone's interested.

That's all I got for now folks, so just keep on keepin' on, Ottteni out.
