In Soviet Russia, Livejournal fails you

rachg82Oh my goodness, is Livejournal going to actually work for me again? Don't you get my hopes up for nothing, hackers!
I swear, if the site craps out on me again while trying to post this, I'll…well, pretty much just pout, maybe slap my desk or something. But it'll be with gusto!
Anyway, I haven't had access to LJ since Sunday, so don't be surprised if I'm behind on any of your entries. I do plan on continuing my Best of SYTYCD posts too, but first I wanted to catch up on other RL/pop culture things before the site has a chance to go down again or something:
-I sent my resume to a few places online this week, and one of them asked me to come in & fill out an application in person, which I did yesterday. There were several other people there doing the same thing, and I screwed up by not bringing all the info I needed (there were certain questions on the app that I didn't think I'd be asked again, seeing as how they were made redundant by the resume. I *should've* expected that though, considering online applications always make you answer the same shit over & over, but I just wasn't thinking), so I'm not sure how confident I feel that I'll get a call-back for an interview. But the receptionist who spoke with me did say she noticed the revenue I put down for my sales position at Xerox (I made $250k for them in ink sales during the summer of '08 alone), and that it was "impressive", plus I know I'd personally have a hard time believing any of the other women type faster than me, so who knows.
-My current extension for unemployment benefits runs out this week. I think I could probably get another extension, but the whole thing stresses me out to no end.
-The job I applied to was downtown, which is a big part of why I want it. I just like the environment down there, and there are SO many good places to eat. To be real, the food is probably the biggest draw for me. Heh.
-I'm pretty sure I saw the folks from Leverage filming while I was there. Out of curiosity, I watched a few eps of the show recently, too, and it's decently entertaining. Kinda throws me though that all the street shots are Portland, but the skyline isn't. What's up with that?
-Speaking of food, I just ordered some, right? And I was feeling like being a pig, so I got a slice of cheesecake with my sandwich. But when the guy got here, he was all, "We didn't have any plain cheesecake, so we gave you two slices of oreo cheesecake." Score! Also, there was a random bag of chips. Not sure if that was extra, but it was unexpected. They lost points for putting lettuce & tomatoes on my sandwich though, which ALSO was unexpected. And unwanted. Ohh, how I hate lettuce. Let me count the ways.
-Remember how I was talking about the superfied gayness of Rizzoli & Isles recently? Well,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lytab5 was so kind as to provide me with this link: Top Ten How Is This Not A Gay Show Scenes.
On top of that? First off, Rizzoli spent the entire hour making scrunchy "eww, gross" faces at every man that came near her, fought tooth & nail to keep hergirlfriend "platonic" best friend from bumping uglies with the mechanic, & then when the date went sour (which: OF COURSE IT DID. Not because he's a guy--I see Isles as bi--but because, y'know, he's not her ~soulmate~ and all. Hee), she welcomed her back into her arms (no, wait, YES. Literally INTO HER ARMS) AND GOT RID OF HIM FOR HER BY PRETENDING TO BE HER LLBFF.
I'm saying, would you just watch this clip and tell me: HOW IS THIS NOT A GAY SHOW? Like, I seriously couldn't stop laughing & flailing throughout pretty much the whole hour, it was just so rainbow-tastic. And I doubt the network would really let them go there, not as the two leads (they probably think having two female leads at all is a big enough deal as it is, which I do get), but it's SO obvious that they're aware of the dynamic & are having fun with the shippers, which I appreciate.
Also: how much do I love Isles for her, "Well, that's really nice" response? SO MUCH. Hahaha.
-Was I the only one who was underwhelmed by SYTYCD last night? It may have been because I was just in a pissy mood though, I'm not sure. I do know Lady Gaga got on my nerrrrrves.
-I've decided I'm okay with the new glasses now. I do this almost every time I get my hair done, too. Change = HARD.
'Kay, that's all for now. If LJ stays up, I may do another Best Of post soon.
For my Vid of the Day, I actually have two. They go together, so it's not cheating (I say so). I'm not sure how many of you have Whole Foods stores in your area, but I do, and this shit cracked me UP. Heh. Shout-out to Odwalla smoothies, y'all!
