Amazing what a difference a week makes! This past week was filled with more bandwagon packing than a Ford pickup full of migrant workers. I guess all that trend chasing wore everyone out, because today the cblogs were barren! I had to double-check my calendar, make sure today wasn't Saturday. Not that I'm complaining! Today's recap was a breeze! I wonder if it has anything to do with folks going back to school.

Speaking of school, I haven't mentioned this before but I've been trying my darndest for the past year to become a math teacher. I did plenty of tutoring in the spring and I've got another tutoring gig starting in October, but it's all peanut money. I'm still looking for a full-time job. I almost got one back in December at this charter school, but since then I haven't had so much as an email response from anyone else. I just need something to do during the day. I sometimes think about crawling back to the Barnes & Noble I worked at during high school, but that place frightens me.

But that's my problem, not yours. Your problem at the moment is to run! Run far away! The rhythm is gonna get you! Run!

*- BulletMagnet, after reading this musing, I have three words for you: "Hire an editor." I mean... God damn.

*- The Ratchet & Clank screenplay is hitting the home stretch!

Math teacher! That's awesome. I wish you luck with it. Have you tried some subbing? From what I hear, subs are in high demand right now. Might be something to do as you continue to look for a full gig.

And thanks for the easy recaps!

Depends. Past a certain threshold, I have a habit of beating children. That only happens when the kid is being a little bitch.

Good luck getting a full time job, I recently became unemployed (literally because I didn't shave...) I am also having a difficult time, I heard its really hard for teachers right now, and thats a damn shame. I may have to do some "crawling" back to former employers as well.

'Rhythym Is Gonna Get You' was awesome because I used to watch the movie Stakeout endlessly as a kid and that song seemed to be the only one on the soundtrack! Dr. Beat was used as a sample by UK dance artist Mylo a few years back...and it friggin' rawked. I don't even like dance music either.

Also, you filthy yanks really did miss out on some awesome videogame TV shows. Thankfully you were spared the nightmare that was Gamesville. Yeeeeah boi, down with da kidz!

Thanks for the recaps!

The wifey was a math teacher for a few years, noble pursuit. Good luck in landing a permanent gig -- The kiddies need you!

I'd hire one, but you know how the economy is these days. ;) Thanks for the recaps!

Thanks for the recaps!

... I have a lot of catching up to do on the Ratchet and Clank thing... he churns them out way too fast! (but they're an awesome read if you followed from the beginning!)
