Shepherds Quake at the Sight

So, I'm listening to Christmas music on the radio . . . in fact, right now is a Neil Diamond rendition of "Silent Night." Which is odd, because as my mother once pointed out, Neil Diamond is Jewish. That makes me sad, I won't lie--because I like Neil Diamond a lot . . . and with my faith, I hate to think that good people out there don't believe in Jesus. A lot of people might think that's silly, but I just want everyone to end up with . . . life.

Hmm. So, not to get too awfully sappy, I'll change the subject. There is an alarm clock somewhere in the house that is going off rather loudly and very annoyingly. Judging from the volume of the noise, I'd have to say that it's coming from my sister's room.

I was right. I was about to get up to turn it off, then my mom came up and did it instead. *Shrugs*

You know what Christmas song I really hate? Well, there's a few, but at the moment, it's "Last Christmas" that's pounding against my eardrums like a cheese grater. Ironically, I'm too wrapped up in writing about it to pick up my remote to change the channel. Yeah, I have a radio remote.

Okay, I finally had to turn it down . . . any version of this song at all makes me . . . I don't know, I just hate it.

So, today is Friday, and I'm rather excited about the fact that "The Princess and the Frog" is coming out today . . . hopefully it will be as good as the Disney movies I loved all my life. Probably not, but it's bound to be better than all those Pixar movies. Don't get me wrong--I liked Toy Story, and Monsters, Inc. was cute, but it got to the point where seeing just one more three-dimensional animal/robot/bug strive for equality in life without even being given so much as one musical number would've caused me to lose complete interest in any sort of cartoon movie again. No offense, animated motion pictures. Well, maybe a little offense intended.

Okay, I obviously don't have much to say that really matters. I'm sure I'll be back when I think of something to say. To anyone reading, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Love,
Me


P.S. - Update - To anyone following my incredibly fascinating journey of applying for jobs and not hearing back from anyone, my agenda for the coming week now includes:

- An interview on Monday morning,
- A possible additional interview next week if I get a second call from another company I talked to yesterday,
- A lunch scheduled with a new advertising contact (for networking purposes),

... and my information is on file at the staffing agency for anything else that might come up. Hopefully the interview on Monday will go well, because it's at least advertising related. Fingers crossed.


P.P.S.: For anyone wanting to feel particularly happy, dress up when you don't have to. Yesterday, I wore a skirt, tights, boots, and cute jacket just to go Christmas shopping. It was wonderful. And bonus . . . people are nicer to you when you look nice and act more confident.
