I had an interview this week for a teaching job with Childtime Learning Centers this past Tuesday. The area manager really wanted them to call me in for an interview, apparently. They’re looking for a lead teacher who will most likely get promoted within six months. I think the initial interview went quite well. I got along great with the director and it seems as though I will definitely get called in for a second interview. Though I don’t want to get my hopes up too much in case it falls through. Getting a great first interview doesn’t mean anything, really. In any case, I hope the second interview is set for Monday. That’s Columbus Day, and my husband has the day off. That means I wouldn’t have to drop him off at work at five in the morning just so I could use the truck for that day. :tired:

Speaking of Monday, that’s also the day that McCain and Palin will have their “victory rally” here in Virginia Beach. I honestly don’t care if I get hate mail or whatever for this, I have to state my opinion. Sarah Palin is the worst possible candidate for vice president ever. I’m sure the only reason McCain even chose her as his running mate was because he thinks that having a woman on his ticket will help him obtain the disgruntled Hillary supporters. Well, as Sharon Osbourne so elegantly put it, we’re not that stupid. As much as I do want to see a woman in the Oval Office, there’s no way that I would vote for Sarah Palin! She may be the vice presidential candidate, but that’s only a heart beat away from becoming the president. If Sarah Palin ever becomes president, that’s the end of America as we know it. That woman reeks of stupidity and ignorance. Claiming she has foreign policy experience because she can see Russia from her backyard? Please! :yuck:

Now, I’m not claiming that I’m an Obama supporter, or even a McCain supporter. I haven’t decided yet on who I’m going to vote for this coming election. I’m watching the presidential debates and news to help me choose. This is the first time I’ve done heavy research on both presidential candidates in order to make sure I’m voting for the person who shares my values and goals. However, the more footage I see on Sarah Palin, the more she makes me want to vomit. She puts women like Hillary Clinton, who are knowledgeable about politics, to shame. She never answers questions directly, even the nonpolitical ones. :annoyed: I’m sure you read every single newspaper and magazine out there, Sarah, but can’t you name at least one? How people can even support that woman is beyond me. Yes, she is pretty and all that…but when there’s nothing upstairs, it’s kind of pointless. It’s like Barbie and Ken are running in the presidential race. :???:

Ugh, but enough about politics. It’s bad enough my mother and I are having heated debates about it when we talk to each other. She doesn’t like Sarah Palin either, but she hates that I “speak so ill” of her. Spare me, mother. :sarcastic: It is funny though, because my neighbors give me funny looks when they pass by and hear me arguing with my mother in rapid Spanish. :haha:

So much to do today! I’ve made a to do list, but who knows if any of those things are going to get crossed off. It’s hard to pull myself away from the internet and be productive. :razz:



So I was watching the MTV Music Awards last night. I usually never get to watch them, but this time I just happened to catch it this year. Here are the highlights from the show, or rather, the things I found most interesting about it:

  • Coldplay - their performance was absolutely amazing! “Viva La Vida” is such an awesome song. I can’t wait to get my hands on their album! June 17th!!
  • Smoking a Joint - James Franco and Seth Rogan’s “smoking a joint” stunt they did when presenting the award for Best Summer Movie So Far was really lame. I’m guessing they were probably smoking regular tobacco using rolling papers, but I thought it was kind of annoying that the cameras panned out during the whole thing. However, you’re able to see that footage if you go to MTV’s website. The whole time I was watching that clip, I was thinking how gross it was that they were passing the “joint” back and forth and exchanging spit. I’m such a germ freak, I know. :sarcastic:
  • Best Comedic Performance - I don’t know about you, but the term “comedic” doesn’t really come to mind when I think of Johnny Depp. While I do admit that Captain Jack Sparrow’s antics were quite funny in POTC 3, I was rather shocked to see Johnny Depp win that category. He was up against some really tough competition, including the ever-hilarious Adam Sandler. All the nominees were quite good, with the exception of Amy Adams, of course. He really is a fantastic actor; however, it was quite shocking. It boggles my mind, really. I mean, he was up against Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, and ADAM SANDLER FOR CHRIST’S SAKE. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get over that. :???:
  • The Orbit Commercial - I honestly wish I had a link to this video so you all could see it. I could not stop laughing when they showed the monkey humping one of the awards! It was just so fuckin’ hilarious. Humping monkeys amuse me to no end. :sarcastic:
  • MTV Generation Award - First off I have to say that they definitely gave this award to the right person. That man is such an awesome asset to the entertainment industry. He’s given me more ab workouts than my personal trainer did at my old gym! The song he performed was the most egotistical thing ever, but only Adam Sandler could get away with it. Also, Rob Shneider is the only person who can ever get away with wearing a bright yellow spandex suit and a long ass wig in order to dance horribly onstage. :lol: The only thing that bothered me about the whole thing was the fact that they picked Tom Cruise to give him the award. :eek: The speech sounded forced and monotonous. Oh, and what was up with the whole “Sandman” thing? Yes, I know that’s his nickname, but it doesn’t sound cool at all when it comes out of Tom Cruise’s mouth. He sounded like my dad when he tries to be hip by saying, “Yeah, that’s cool man!” :confused: Also, there was no need for him to be saying Adam Sandler’s middle name a million times. It just sounded so weird. So formal. So unlike Adam Sandler. Tom Cruise was definitely not the right person to give this award. They ought to fire the person in charge of choosing those people!

So anyway, those are my thoughts on yesterday’s Movie Awards. It’s the stuff I found most interesting, although you probably won’t think so. :sarcastic:

I might not be able to update for the next few days. The cable is being cut tomorrow, and who knows when I’ll be able to get a connection going again. Hopefully it won’t take too long, but I guess only time will tell.
