Serendipity

Back from Mexico. Wedding was great, seeing family was great, not understanding spanish...not so great. And I did get a little bit sick near the end. But overall, a good trip.

I don't have any days with the reindeer until next week, so today I went window shopping with a friend. I dragged her into the Apple store and we played with the iTouch and iPhone for about an hour. Holy crap they're awesome. 16 Gigs, however, is not enough, much less 8. But it was so friggin' cool. You can browse the net on any wifi, it has a special youtube feature, scrolling through lists is megafun with the touch feature, and the iPhone even has a built in camera. Oh so cool. Unfortunately I don't have a spare $400 lying around. And really it's just a cool techno-gadget that's not necessary. But dayum.

Also? I saw CSI 8x07. SO sad. Need something to cheer me up and fic isn't doing it. Going to re-watch the clip. THE clip. Because bee proposal makes it all better.

I went on a trip to Portland for a week to visit some friends. Had a fabulous time, and immediately upon returning finished my move to Simi Valley to live with my friend and her family (for reduced rent). Being as my pet-sitting boss is back from vacation and I no longer work at Universal, I now just work 2 days a week. There haven't been any long-term jobs I've been interested in, but today I found a fabulous short-term job. The LA Zoo is hiring reindeer keepers to care for 4 reindeer over the holidays and supervise their interactions with the public. I would LOVE this job. It's caring for exotic animals AND interacting with the public, which is what I want to do.

BUT, the job starts Novermber 18. Novermber 15-24 I'm going to Mexico for my cousin's wedding. I debated for a long time whether I should go, and it would kill me if I didn't get this dream job because of a wedding! Ugh. Every time I read the job posting I want the job more and more. It sounds like so much fun. So, we'll see what happens.
