job search/ Southern Fried Stings/ business news

Nov. 5 Job search: Well I'm back on the job search. I look at all the places I turned down in a month since I got that office job. I wasn't working for 2 weeks because they were checking my references. I did use that time to pitch my script. Then another 2 weeks of actually being on the job.

1. A store that sold kitchenware.
2. A data entry job.
3. A clothing store.
4. A department store.
5. This big company that's really far away.
6. A server job at a downtown restaurant.
7. A charity.
8. A kitchen helper job at downtown restaurant.
9. Another clothing store.
10. A store that sells gift baskets.

I'm not mad that I didn't do any of these interviews. They were all regular jobs, and not an office job that I had obtained. Also, even if I did get any one of these jobs, how will I know that I will stick with it? There are still a lot of jobs out there.

90210: There are some good things I liked about the latest episode. They did a story line about a straight guy experimenting his sexuality with a gay guy. On The OC and 90210, it's always a girl experimenting. Maybe because it's more accepted, but it's more common in real life.

Here's a example. Back in the days when I used to watch Cheaters, the girls who cheat on girls with other girls seem to be experimenting. As for the two cases where I see a guy finding out his boyfriend is cheating on him with another guy, all the guys seem to be 100% gay and not experimenting.

A good surprise is that a rich teen girl turns out to be a drug dealer. That's a good storyline. Then there's the surprise where Navid finds out that girl at school is porn star. N's dad is porn producer. Then Oscar redeems himself a little by helping catch the rapist Mr. Cannon. The week before he slept with Ivy's mom and Ivy to get back at Ivy's mom.

Throw in a little PSA where Teddy was smoking pot and driving. His friends Dixon and Navid get him to pull over. There's also continuity with the black female cop investigating Mr. Cannon.

Southern Fried Stings: I'm going to admit something to you guys. I saw the last 2 min. of this show. I first saw a clip of it awhile back when my little brother was watching it. It's like Cops and there was this fight at a wedding. Two guys knocked a table down as they fight. This woman grabbed the punch bowl and poured it on this guy during the fight.

Cut to a prostitute at a truck stop, and it's revealed the john is an undercover cop. She runs out really fast, and a camera crew is on her. Fortunately, my brother changed the channel. It looks like a train wreck with cops, and fights involved. It looks like I would get angry at it, and laugh at it at the same time. But I can't watch TV shows that are like that because it raises my blood pressure.

The last two min. I saw was a black female cop telling these two white girls to respect themselves because they were running around naked.

They arrested a naked white guy.
White guy: Don't tell my wife.
Male cop: He says that, but you know she's going to know about it when he calls her to bail him out of jail.

Now I'm done confessing. I remember talking to this guy about how I quit watching Cops because I get too angry.

Guy: I get angry because the people on the show are so stupid.
Me: I get angry because the people are disrespecting the cops.

Business news: On my job search, an IHOP (International House of Pancakes) is opening on Calgary Trail.

This is a couple of months ago, but Blockbuster has filed for bankruptcy. I read about how they're not doing well months ago. I though of: "When Blockbuster files for bankruptcy, not if."

Nov. 7 Miley Cyrus: I checked out her cd from the library today. I remember reading her in the newspaper saying that her cd is about empowerment, and not letting anything hold you back.

Nov. 8: I'm going to admit something else. Last month I tuned into How I met your Mother because Maury Povich guest- starred. It's not a bad sitcom, and my sister was watching it. I haven't watched Maury since 2006, but this must be a sign that I still like him if I watch a sitcom I don't usually watch because he's in it. He was doing cameos on the show like sitting on the bus and a restaurant.
