So this time last month I was sitting in a theater watching The Two Towers for the first time at the midnight premiere. Now I’m listening to the soundtrack, which I just found out was almost ineligible for the Best Score Oscar cause it included themes from FotR. Silly Academy. It’s over 88% original music! Sigh. I’ve seen TTT four times, and I think it’s time to see it again…it’s been over two weeks now…and tomorrow, wouldn’t it be great if TTT wins some Golden Globes? I hope it wins…
The first track meet of the indoor season was today. Haven’t heard how anyone did, hopefully well. I went to the mall to get something for Mom, and I shopped around a bit, mainly for boredom, and found some nice sweaters. Anyway, while I was shopping, I realized I didn’t really have a need for anything, cause it’s not like I had to dress up every weekend after a track meet. And it made me sad. I miss it. Oh, I don’t miss the practices, but I miss the people. I miss being in shape. And whatever Alex might say, I am getting some poundage. I should take that tap-dance class if only to be doing something semi-athletic.
While at the mall I did one of those surveys they’re forever pestering you about. This time I actually got to do something fun, and like I said, I was bored. Gave me something to do. So I got to watch the trailer for the second Lara Croft movie. Now, I saw the first when it came on cable. It’s an ok movie, nice action, and I have to admit it’s a nice change to see a female action heroine, even if she is heaving her amplified bosom too much for my taste. Just so you know, I’ve never played the game in any of its forms and I really had no clue they were going to make another one. This one looks interesting from what I saw of the trailer, and if asked I might go see it. Otherwise I’d probably just wait till it came out on cable. Makes you want to be an actress, though. Cool moves, nice costumes, exotic locales (or at least sets that look exotic)…although give me Middle Earth over the Middle East any day. Or Allehara. Just once I’d like to have a day like Jennifer Gardner or even Ms. Jolie.
So are you thoroughly confused now? I graduated with a major in biomedical engineering, and then I told you I wanted to be a writer or web designer (had you noticed either of those already?) And now I’m telling you I want to be an actress. Ah well. Dreams never hurt anybody.
Maybe someday. I’ve got a long time ahead, if it is right that He should think so 
Oh, and I wrote more last night. Moonstone is coming together. Car’etol is cool. Intuition. Go check out the layout at aspire II, cause I’m proud of it. Good night.

Job application frenzy
StandardGeez. It’s weird, how you can just click a button and have your resume sent off to companies in Florida or Virginia. God knows what I’d do if I got jobs elsewhere than Missouri…it would be fun, leave the nest and all that, but scary at the same time. But the good kind of scary. I just hope I get *a* job, somewhere. Web design sure would be nice, eh? Maybe I should post some of my writing so those people looking for technical writers could read it. Yeah.
Starless-Day.net a great site 🙂
Friday Five, back with comments
1. Where do you currently work? A stem cell lab at the Washington University School of Medicine.
2. How many other jobs have you had and where? This is my second real job in eight months. Sigh. And I need to find a new one. Second at WUSM, fifth at WU. No, sixth, if you count the fly lab job two years ago. Drug Emporium. Grone cafeteria. Betty Shew Paper Art.
3. What do you like best about your job? It’s technologically interesting and challenging. The people I work with are really nice.
4. What do you like least about your job? I’m clueless. Still.
5. What is your dream job? Web design for a biomedical engineering company. Famous Broadway actress for musicals. Discoverer of a cure for cancer or Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. Maker of a bioartificial organ. Writer. Something “creative and analytical.”
Ironic how this comes up now when I need to get a new job.

A GREEN Dragon Lies Beneath!
I took the Inner Dragon online quiz and found out I am a Green Dragon on the inside. My Inner Dragon is the embodiment of Nature and the Earth. Greens spend almost all of their time below the canopy or just above the treetops in tropical rain forests. Not a bad life considering every other creature in the forest looks up to me, figuratively and literally. I speak the language of every animal and plant in my domain and know most of them by first name. If people mess with my forests, I’m more than happy to wail on their puny butts. Because of my protector/caretaker role, I am the Earth Elemental dragon.
Naturally my whole life pretty much revolves around the other couple million species I keep an eye on, but that’s not my whole dragon. I also like to like to impose my steadfast will on others, commune with Nature, and lobby governments for alternative fuels and conservation. My favorable attributes are gemstones, mountains, caves, soil, respect, endurance, responsibility, prosperity, and purpose in life. Folks shouldn’t get the idea I’m a hippy pushover though, because my breath weapon is a nasty Fire/Acid combination. Maybe I should invest in a hemp shirt reading “Don’t knock my smock, or I’ll clean your clock.” *wink*
