Hello again...

So it's been a while, dear readers. All apologies. No, seriously, I mean it. ;)

I've had my three interviews with my hagwon and I'm really excited! I should know this week if I am going to get a job offer from them--but I'm positive I will :) As interviews go, I pretty much nailed this one out of the park! I just wish I were leaving in August--even though I am now allowed to spend more time with my friends and family. I just want to get there and start making money. I am currently looking for a job that will hold me over for six months. Sigh. I've applied to 4 different locations of Starbucks (and I'm not even a fan of their coffee) and to a Sylvan Learning Center. Sigh. We shall see what happens. I will certainly keep you updated.

Last night I went with one of my besties to see a theatrical adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. It was awesome!!! The Lifeline Theatre specializes in bringing novels to the stage. And they're great at what they do! The tickets were reasonable and it was a really intimate crowd. Most, if not all, were fans of the novel and the driver of the shuttle bus (it's an odd place to put a theatre so they have a parking lot a few blocks away) even said that Neil Gaiman had come three Sundays ago! How fab is that? I know Gaiman comes here a lot for readings but to see an adaptation of one of his books is really cool! Mad props to Mz. Stoj for buying the tickets :)

Some books for you to check out:

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (duh!)
Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris


Some films to watch:

Away We Go (if you haven't seen it already)
Toy Story 3
