Shades of Green

Days go by, and still I think of you....

(sigh) The search for employment continues....Well, to be fair, August isn't exactly peak employing times, but still, it's been a tough search and I'm still crawling through the murk. Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I think I'll go eat worms....

It's interesting how the week has gone by and I've done so much, yet accomlished so little. Between looking for jobs, setting up college tour appointments, researching colleges, thinking about applications, and writing stuff for NSquad, I've had plenty to do. And yet, despite actually doing all this, I feel like I've gotten absolutely nothing done. Maybe it's time to add SATII stuff to this growing pile of crap. I have been meaning to whip out the old Chem book and study that, but after going through a quarter of Highsmith and absolutely bombing the SATII Chem, I'm not so eager to do it. (sigh) I wish I knew more Korean so I could just go ahead and ace the Korean SAT IIs. That would be the easy way out, and I'd have no problem with it. Instead, I gotta bust my ass off one more time. (Sigh) This college shit better be worth everything we're putting into it. I mean, I'm sure it is, what with the whole preparing and educating you for the profession of your choice, or for life in general, or both. Unfortunately, it's difficult to see that when you are stuck in the same boring town and the saming boring school for a good chunk of your life.

For those of you who care, the mole was Bill. And I knew it. Even before I went to all those stupid reality show fan sites that found like every single clue pointing to the identity of the mole. How did I know it was him? Two reasons: One) He seemed to be messing up more of the games than other people. By the end of the game, the only other person who had caused nearly as much destruction as him was Dorothy (who won, by the way), and she seemed like she was trying way to hard to actually be the mole. Of course the mole wants to appear as if he's trying hard, but if you saw the show, you'd know it wasn't Dorothy. Two) Bill is old. Who would ever suspect the old guy of being the mole?

I really hope The Mole comes back for a third season. This show has gone through a lot of hardships, starting with a horrible timeslot, which resulted in it being taken off the air for almost 9 months, and ending in a more accessible timeslot, but up against American Idol. It was a really intelligent gameshow, and had a lot of moments of suspense, intrigue, and drama. I've said it before, but The Mole is one of two reality shows that I would actually consider being a part of (the other being The Amazing Race). If I had one suggestion to the producers, it would be to make better games. Although the show was a lot of fun, some of the games were kinda boring, especially after hearing about the kinds of games that the first season's contestants had to do (I never saw the first season, except the very last episode). Also, don't give out such "blatant" clues to the identity of the mole. Although the general public would never catch on, never underestimate the power of the obsessed fanatic who will go through each segment frame by frame and scrutinize every detail until he finds the hidden clue pointing to the identity of the mole and shares it with the entire internet.

(sigh) I was also supposed to go to Marine World today. (grumble) Stupid people....Heh, I understand when scheduling conflicts appear, but it's kinda frustrating to have it pushed back til Monday. I mean, we were originally supposed to go last Tuesday. (shrug) That's the way the cookie crumbles, I suppose.

Oh yeah, and EVERYBODY should visit Yes, the opening cartoon is kinda scary, but once you get past that obstacle, you'll discover an absolutely hilarious and endearing universe with all sorts of unique and funny characters. It might be a wise idea to skip the opening movie, and simply click on "First time here?" when you get to the main menu. After that, feel free to explore! I LOVE STRONG BAD!!!!
