- Rachel had asked if anyone had seen WallE, and I have. Here's my take on it: I went with my friends Mike & Catherine (a married couple), and my friend Terry (a single 30-something guy). It should come as no shocker that Catherine and I loved the movie, and the boys were less than thrilled with it (but I do find it interesting that Mike now tells everyone who asks about it that they should definitely see it, interesting). Not only is WallE the character cute and adorable (and very reminiscent of Number 5 from Short Circuit) it had a good message: stop global warming or else we'll all end up really fat (??). It was a sort of in-your-face Public Service Announcement. I wasn't too thrilled with that part, but I do give them props for making a movie about robots, with very little talking extremely interesting and entertaining, because let's be honest folks, that's hard to do!
- As I mentioned above, my job search has not being going so well. I think I've tapped into all of the potential jobs out there in Cleveland-land, and with no luck. Which really puts me in a rut. I try not to get down about it, but it's a bit depressing. I come back to Cleveland thinking that things are going to be a certain way (living in my own apartment, with a job, and well on my way to being in a relationship) and exactly NONE of those things have come to fruition. Perfect. My thoughts have always been that I don't' feel like I can make a steady enough income substitute teaching, so I felt good about getting a desk job. But then it came to my attention that getting a desk job might not be the best idea, because once I put my resume out in the teacher-work field next year and I have this giant hole for this school year, it'll look pretty bad. So now I'm stuck. The latest thing that's been milling around in my head is to substitute with a job in the evenings (puke), and then in the spring start working towards my masters degree. Thoughts, feelings? I need some guidance!!
- Having a baby around is one of the greatest things in the world. Mason is such an even tempered little man. It's hard to believe that he will be 2 months old tomorrow! He's trying to be such a big boy -- he holds his head up for really long stretches of time (like 15 seconds! that's long in baby land!), he tries to "stand up" if you put his feet on a hard surface, he's smiling on his own (not just gas smiles), and he's developing quite the little personality. It's truely amazing how such a small package can be such a great blessing!!
That's about it. I know, life is boring, and that's why I've not been posting -- but I'll try to do some more interesting things and then I'll post more -- haha!
Maybe one day I'll post about all of the books I've been reading -- because let me tell you, I've been reading A LOT!
