Now lets go over why you would have to be insane to accept it.
1. It was sent as a reply to an email I sent about two weeks ago. The grammar in the email is middle school level at best.
2. The ad on Craigslist didn't specify where the job was located. It turns out its in Chicago.
3. Their "application" is a personality quiz like the type you would find on Facebook.
4. I found almost no evidence this company actually is legit. The only reference to the company I could find on google was the company's official site. The site looked like it was done in geocities.

New Post
So I was on here and realized that I had not posted anything this month realizing that this would probably make people very angry, I figured that I should probably write something. As I am writing this it is approximately 60 degrees outside right now. While I would like it to be 70 like it was yesterday, I figure I shouldn't complain, as it is still nice for this time of the year. I can't wait till it gets to be 85 everyday. I also want feel that I need a bike for days that are sunny and warm. Walking takes to long and at least with a bike you can not only move some what fast, but it also gets you in the sun, resulting in a tan.
Tonight is also pub trivia at Uisca. In case you haven't been following, we have steadily been getting better since we started and now usually get 4th or 5th place. However, last week 2 out of 3 of our regular team mates didn't show up, resulting in a second to last place finish. Hopefully we do better this week. I even got the book that the quizmaster uses to create the questions so hopefully some of the facts are in my mind at least a little bit.
Another thing that more people should do is go to the theater. It makes you more cultured and you will be able to stick your nose in the air, knowing that you are better then the uncultured swine that sticks with theater of the screen (i.e. movies like Fast and Furious). Speaking of Fast and Furious, I plan on celebrating its release by glueing a shitty looking, miscolored spoiler onto the back of it and speading to the nearest theater. Yay Corollas! Anyways, back to the theater. I went to see performance of "The Lost World" and "War of the Worlds". Both plays were based on radio performances of the stories, meaning that there were no props except for the costumes and everyone read from the same scripts that were used during the original radio broadcasts. They were all directed by the Q. I'm sure the guy has a real name, but it is irrelevant of the fact that he is an omnipotant space being and therefore beyond such mortal traits like names.
On the food end of things I have decided what my final meal would be if I ever get a terminal disease or sent to death row. It would consist of a slightly dry Pad Thai, Mandirin Chicken from Trader Joes, and a rack of spare ribs. Maybe a huge plate of shellfish as an appitizer. In fact, someone should get me this right now.
Welp, I don't know what else to write right now. I suppose I could give some theories on sasquatch, but I'm kinda mentally drained right now. I know I say this a lot, but I'd like to write blogs more often, maybe branch out into short articles some times. Also, if anyone knows of some good Alt. History novels or cool sci-fi books I would be thankful.

WTF Snow
So just before I started writing this I looked outside and it was snowing. 20 minutes later and it is now sunny outside. What is this? Can't the weather make up its mind? What happened to the good old days when it was just drizzly and 50 degrees all winter?
Anyways, I now have no job. My last day was Friday and I am now among the unemployed. Though it may seem cool at first not having anything to do, I am already bored. I would like to take a trip somewhere, but I am now faced with the prospect that I have no money to make said trip and that I should instead save what I have in case it is awhile before I can find another job. Not that its gonna be as easy as it might have been when the economy was good, but I figure its best not to think about stuff that you can't control. Hopefully I will be able to get a job that uses the degree that I went to college for. I'm not even against getting an entry level job that paid the same as what I made a Circuit City. I figure then I would at least be able to work my way up.
Speaking of my old job, now that the company no longer exists I feel that I am now able to more freely talk about some of my experiences when I worked their. Especially under liquidation. I might go into more in my next post, but for now I will leave you with this advice. Never expect that you will save anything going to a "going out of business" sale. Everything will be more expensive compared to when the store was in business, no one will give a shit about you, and you can't return anything even if it was broken when you bought it. Don't like it, don't bother arguing, you are shopping at a place where many of the employees relish finally being able to be assholes without repurcusions (SP?).
Anyways, I kinda have a writers block now, but now that I have time I will be able to write more. I'll think of more stuff to write tomorrow and maybe give a Watchmen book review. I would be nice to review something.

Short things from this weekend.
-While in Seattle for my brothers birthday, we came across a sign advertising the "Seattle Mystery Bookstore", of course written in a spooky font. While you think a sign advertising a mystery bookstore in spooky letters would contain books about Sasquatch, ghosts, and other mysterious things, it instead contained nothing but mystery novels like you would find at an airport newstand. Misleading advertising? I think so.
-I found some crack, or at least it looked like crack on the floor of a bathroom in Pike Place Market. I hope the person that lost it gets it back.
-The underground tour is nothing more then a tourist trap. The pictures always made it seemed like you would go deeeeep underground with nothing more then a flash light to guide your way. Instead, you go through crawlspaces that look like they are renovated every six months. Also, you are lead into a gift shop at the end that sells crude bumper stickers. In my experiences, if a place sells crude bumper stickers, it probably fits more into the tourist trap catagory then the museum catagory.

This story makes me sad...
The Final Goodbye: Shea Rests in Pieces
I don't know why, but I will get a little depressed when I hear about famous old landmarks getting torn down. Especially when they are replaced by a parking lot and a stadium named after a bank.Wednesday, February 11, 2009
Last weekend..
This weekend, I went to Seattle to partake in the many films of the Science Fiction and Fantasy short film festival at the Cinerama downtown. All of the films were very well made and entertaining. They are more then I could ever do and many of them would make could feature length films. However, for about 75% of them the classification of "Science Fiction" is suspect. A short about an anthropomorphic hose does not fit into my vision of the future. To the festival's credit, it was advertised as a sci-fi/fantasy festival, so maybe they were trying to fit more into the fantasy side of things. It wasn't a total loss however, as one film about time travel asked a question that I have always asked. Is it gay if yourself from the future gave you a handjob, or is it masturbation. I choose the masturbation. Notes from the Acrid Plain with Burton Hoary, Vol. 7 was probably the best film. I suggest everyone look for it on youtube.
In closing. I had a good time and Devon is lame for not coming to see it. For my friend Jon's interpretation of the events, go here.

Links I came across tonight.
Because i'm so totally web 2.0/social networking, i'm gonna try seeing how easy linking works. Consider this a test for the future.
1. RESPOND TO SOULJA BOY!!!!
First of all, I just want to say that I am very proud of the fine young man that Lil Bow Wow has become. Absolutely nothing is cooler then tatting yourself up with shit no one can even see unless they are right next to you. I for one am very much looking forward to where this feud with Soulja Boy.com is going. Hopefully Soulja Boy can answer back by buying a bigger lambo.
2. This
Letting myself revel in nerdom(sp?) for a minute here, I think this article is amazing and I wish that EVE Online was a lot easier to play. It's too bad that the interface boils down to reading spreadsheats all day, because absolutly destroying an entire in game organization and stealing everything from them sounds amazing. Forget spending 8 hours grinding leggings in WoW, I for one would rather spend that time conning someone out of the life (as in game life) savings.
