Job Hunting

I hate job hunting. I've applied and/or called over a dozen places so far without much of a response. I've hit up Half Price Books, Lone Star Comics, Movie Trading Company, the Independent School District (as a substitute), and various other places. A flew places are looking for summer help, but I'm sure they'd rather higher a high school kid or a young college student that will take minimum wage without much of a fuss. Though at this point, I wouldn't put up much of a fuss either. We'll see how it goes.

I'm probably going to enter Slamdance's screenplay competition... if I can't scrounge up the $40 to apply.

Saw Baby Mama and Iron Man this last week. Baby Mama was the Mother's Day movie. I really wanted it to be funny, but it just wasn't. All the best moments are in the trailer. Hopefully Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will get better material to work with in the future. Can't really say anything bad about Iron Man. I really enjoyed it. I thought Robert Downey, Jr. did a great job. And if you haven't seen it yet, stay until the end of the credits to get an extra chance to nerd out.

Picked up an application to the Rave while I was there.

Had some Pho Ga at a new-ish Vietnamese place just outside Ridgemar Mall. I think it's called Pho Little Saigon. Good stuff, and the staff was really friendly. They don't have as many options as some other places, but they have the basics. I recommend it.
