Bottle Shock

I think I am going to drink a bottle of wine tonight. It has just been one of those lifes.

In other news it's Tuesday and I have two DVDs coming from Netflix. I should be receiving Talk to Her and a disc from Season 4 of The West Wing.

So I've got that going for me which is fabulous. I also would like to finish Watchmen tonight.

Monday Monday

Another work week has started. Yay! Well not really yay but whatever I guess.

This weekend was not that exciting. I caught up on The Real World: Brooklyn. Those people are crazy. I also watched a fantastic movie from the 90s called "The Paper." It was one of those movies from childhood that I really liked but needed to rewatch. And then I realized, why was I watching these movies at a young age? I also saw Manhattan which was definitely good. I love Woody Allen movies. They are just so good. I loved Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Things I need to figure out to be living life well:
1. Taxes. I need some help. H & R Block is too expensive so I am going to have to find a better cheaper solution. Because honestly I do not trust myself to file correctly.
2. A way to make it to Spring Break in one piece. Life in general is stressing me ouuuuuuuttt. I need to find a constructive way of dealing with this. Which rules out stress eating which I have been doing.
3. What I am doing for Spring Break. I think I have just personally ruled out LA. I think I am headed North.
4. A ride to San Jose on the 16th. Coming back to Illinois for a wedding will be so good for my life.
5. The future. I only mildly stress out about it now. I had a week wherein everyday was like, I was on the verge of having a panic attack.

Oh to be a movie star

I took kind of a break from my weekly movie going experiences. I cannot even remember the last movie I saw, which is so weird for me. I think it was, "He's Just Not That Into You," and that was like Feb. 15th. So this is like a big thing for me. And now since I have not been in awhile I have accumulated a list of movies that I want to see. The list includes (these movies are accessible to me in the surrounding area):

Confessions of a Shopaholic
Fired Up (I still love cheerleader movies)
Race to Witch Mountain (I am in need of some good summer action movies, I am awaiting this summer's Wanted)
Watchmen (First I have to finish the graphic novel)
Che Part One and Two (I'm intrigued)
The Class (Entre les murs)
Last Chance Harvey (But also I have never been to the movie theater in Pacific Grove, and thats the only place it is playing currently)

So basically these aren't a lot of have to see immediately movies. I mean I would like to see Watchmen in the theater. I am also excited for Amy Adams' new movie to come out. I am pretty pumped. Is it just me or does anyone else get her mixed up with Isla Fisher?

Growing Pains

So I've got options for August. I am trying desperately to sift through my life and figure out exactly what it is that I want to do. I mean ultimately i think I would want a career in non-profit or even the government. But for right now what do I do?
I can always do the traditional job search. Looking at listings on craigslist as well as idealist.org. I am also trying to decide if I would like to stay in California. If I did I could possibly do another stint with AmeriCorps. I am also wondering about becoming a teacher. There are programs here wherein you can train to become a teacher. But I dunno if I necessarily want that for my life. I am also considering teaching english abroad. The program that Scotty is doing seems promising. I am also wondering about moving back to Illinois. I would like to. I could do another year of AmeriCorps there too. I am also thinking that I might want to do the internship my cousin Amanda did. But ultimately I feel like the natural place for me to go that serve my interests would ultimately be Washington D.C. But who knows.

It is just so hard trying to figure out my life. I dunno the time the now apparently.
