Skewed Results

So, I had two minutes to kill and I just took a simple Beatles quiz. I mean, this thing was so simple that I'm sure anyone could take it an get 100%. They told me I got an 80%. I DON'T THINK SO! I even check my answers... they were all correct.

This is just one more example of why I love to hate the internet.

The Pain of Conversion

The Importance of Simon and Garfunkel

Second Generation Beatles Fan

Friday afternoon was a delightful experience. As soon as I finished my 2pm class, I went to stake my claim on a spot as close to the dedication cermony as I could get. But, I'll be honest, I didn't want to be up front (too many news crews could have captured my mug), so I hid behind the front row of student spectators. For over an hour I stood and waited (with my eight pound American lit book in my backpack), almost getting rained on a number of times. It was still fun though. I got my "Dave Came Back. I was There." pin (and one for the roommate as well). My only regret though was not buying a roll of film for my Nikon. Instead, I brought a camera that I got free from sending in UPC codes to Pop Tarts. When Letterman came onto the stage, I started taking pictures frantically, because I knew that people were going to get in my way once he sat down. Well, I must have been a little too frantic because the camera totally quit on me. I put it away, hoping I could salvage the film inside later... and that did NOT happen. The film had completely rolled out of the can and was useless because the light hit it.

But it was a good thing I didn't take my Nikon because I stood at the bus stop and got soaked trying to get home. Everyone will agree it's my fault for being anti-umbrella, but I say to you: "When the rain comes/they run and hide their heads/they might as well be dead." Throwing Beatles quotes out always helps strengthen my argument.

So anyway, I've been scouring Facebook for the past two days gathering up pictures that other people took of the event. I would post some pics on this entry, but they are not my property, and I want to respect the photographers (I did however get some prints for my scrapbook). It's sad, I know but had I had the proper equipment, I would have had similar pictures.... well, except for the lucky few who got a lot closer to Letterman than I did. But that's okay. It's still something to tell the grandkids one day, along with my Avril Lavigne/Bowling for Soup concert story and my Jason Mraz concert story... and I think that's it. Maybe not... I'm sure there must be more celebrities than that... but I'm sick (you'll say it's the rain, but I know it isn't) and my brain isn't working properly at the moment.

Tomorrow: Interview.

Nervous? Yes and no. I mean, I've already interviewed once for the job... I just have to do it again. I just didn't know that there were two interviews for retail positions. I guess there is. But it's okay... the more experience, the better. At least that's what everyone else says. Since my interview last week until now, I think I've lost five pounds worrying. Maybe I should worry all the time! No, that's not good...

I watched Wingspan last night. It might have only been the second or third time that I've watched it, but it's amazing. I love Paul and Linda's love story and how they made family life work while still accomplishing all of their goals. The only thing missing? Well, a lot I'm assuming. You can't really explain away ten years in 88 minutes. I wanted more gaps filled in. I mean, the Beatles Anthology is around ten hours... and that covers around ten years, more or less. That's what I wanted to see from Wingspan.

Script Frenzy is going well. I'm finally successful at something. I only need 10,000 words by Friday and I'm at 6,363 at this moment. I should be finishing my script and not blogging, but there have to be breaks somewhere, right? Then July comes, and I have to revise. That's the part that gets really frustrating. I have such a hard time revising without collaboration, but I don't want to put my friends through that... who wants to read the first draft of a full length script? I don't even want to do that so I can post reviews on Triggerstreet!
