Mr. Good Cat...Bad Dog

i love the movies...
we'll get to that in just a bit

so i had my interview today. it went well. it was just the first one though. i have to wait and see if the call me back in a week. then i would go in for another interview, and they would decide whether to hire me or not. *sigh* i hate waiting : ) the guy aksed me a few questions and i answered them. he said everything seemed fine except the fact that i think i'm gonna be in school this fall. you know, the whole invest in training you and then you're not here to work for us thing. which is COMPLETELY understandable. i just need money is all... oh well, we'll see what happens. it's not like that's my only option.

daniel and benita left for, ummmm, Abilene, i think. they will be back tomorrow night. it has something to do with the gifted kids. whatever. i'm okay with their absence.

oh yes, the movies. well first i went to dinner at houlihan's with andy. i love that place. the food is amazing. i had the C...something salmon with red mashers (potatoes) and steamed broccoli. oh wow. then for dessert was strawberry cheesecake and cappucino chocolate cake with ice cream. oh yeah, we had potato skins for appetizers and i had the tuscan bruschetta salad. again, that place is amazing. after that i hit the highway (I-35) south to olathe for a movie with christina from the gun store. by the way, i miss driving on the highway. i love that too. i just set it on cruise, rolled the windows down, and cranked up some Hot Hot Heat. it felt goooood. so i saw Lucky Number Sleven. it was very cool. much like Kill Bill, but different at the same time. i reccommend it if you like the whole asassin-most-of-the-cast-dies-by-the-end kind of thing. that and josh hartnett in a towel for 20 minutes. hmmmm.

anyway, i had a really good night. driving around is fawesome. but i can't do it too much of course. $$. driving back home alone was kind of lonely though. it's nice to go home with someone.

Happennings

so hello all. hope your days are going well. lots going on around here in the J.C.

first of all i am soooo in love with this spring weather. wow! i just want to be outside all day long. i recently purchased a new polo shirt from old navy that totally captures the essence of spring right now. ok now i sound like a crazy hippie. good times.

speaking of crazy hippies, we recently studied the pop art movement (starting in the late 1950's) and learned about something called Happenings. it was defined as: an assemblage of events performed or percieved in more than one time and place. it's material environments may be constructed, taken over directly from what is available, or altered slightly: just as activities may be invented or commonplace. A Happening, unlike a stage play, may occur at a supermarket, driving along a highway, under a pile of rags, or in a friends kitchen, either at once or sequentially, time may extend to more than a year. The Happening is performed according to plan, but without rehearsal, audience, or repetition. It is art, but seems closer to life. okay, so not that you really cared to know that much, i just wanted to explain it thuroughly. anywho my whole reason for that was to tell you that my art history class is staging their own Happening at JCCC. our teacher is going to have her car washed, drive it across the street to JCCC, pour chocolate pudding all over it, and we, the students, are going to lick it off. I KNOW!!! crazy, yes? well i'm very excited. i'm not exactly sure why, but i am. there will be lots of pictures i promise. oh, and it's going to be May 2, at 2pm in the upper east lot of the Carlson Center.

we also had a discussion in class today about defining "art". how we define it, how others define it, should/can it be defined. all that sort of stuff. i guess you kinda had to be there (there was much talk), but i'm sure you can ponder this to yourself or ask some of your other friends.

now back to more "concrete" things. hahaha, i'm so funny. i had put in an application for employment at the Kansas Sampler about 2 weeks ago. i hadn't heard back yet, and several people told me that i shoud call to check on its progress, so i did. well the man looked it up and suggested that i come in on friday the 21st for an interview. yay!! i'm excited and nervous. i really need a job for this summer since gas is so blow-my-brains-out expensive and i have a weakness for the "Buck". lol.

in other good news, kate's uncle mike thinks he might have some cars lined up for me to test out so that i can buy one of them. pretty cheap too. things are looking better.

i'm gonna call Pittsburg state friday and see how things are going regarding my acceptance/FAFSA/blah blah blah. same with Emporia. some days i'm scared about it and some i'm really looking forward to it. we'll see...

i heart the following: Prison Break (Wentworth Miller), the Raconteurs-jack white's new band, weezer's song "this is such a pity", the Wicked soundtrack
it is sooooo almost summer. i can't wait for everyone to be driving around with their windows down so that i can sing obnoxiously loud broadway tunes in their general direction.

stay tuned for more updates from the J.C.

Beginnings

so hey everyone...ummm my name's sarah and i'm a crazy cat lady. my therapist says this will help me uncover my inner cat so that i can finally be one with them. ok, so not really, but you never know. right now i'm trying to find a job, a school, a car, a buttload of money for all of those, and some friends for the summer. let's just say i'm not getting warm. ugh. boof, this is gonna be one of those oh look at how sad my life is things now isn't it. this is what happens when you don't have real ppl to talk to so they can tell you to quit feeling sorry for yourself and shape up. or something less like that but generally the same. well i'll try to stay away from that while still expressing myself...or whatever. more later.
