Will My Madness Ever End?!

Well, today I actually went to an open interview at Black Bear.  They're opening a new store here in Motown because the other is doing so well and there was a space available.  I'm not much into doing food work but at this rate anything is better than nada.  So I thought it went well.  I tried to play myself off as awesome (of course we all know I'm just crazy....) and it seemed like he really liked me.  So fingers crossed!

If I'm not hired there the hospital did call me today to set up an interview for next week!  Yay!  Union and health benefits!  But we'll see..... *shifty eyes*

I also got an email back from another job I applied for saying that the job doesn't open till August sooooo..... yeah..... But they'd like to have an interview with me if I'm still interested when the time comes.  Duh!  That one's silk screening.  On glass!  Why the hell wouldn't I want it?

Anyway, after working today in the 90 degree weather and the interview where there was no AC I decided I wanted a treat.  Thought smoothie.  We have fruit in the freezer that I need to use.  I wish I had fresh canned peaches because those were the best, and mix the juice in and yum.....  So I have orange juice to work with. Boo because that is worth 3 points alone for only like 1/4th a cup or something.  Bah.  But I had a crazy idea.  They have crazy tea flavors now,  why not add tea to the fruit?

Welll....... it kinda worked.  I have more of a frozen dish than a smoothie until it melts that is. lol  It's quite good.  You can taste the fruit but smell and taste the tea as well.  It's not that bad really.....  And it's worth nothing!  BWAHAHAHAHAHA!  Nothing I say!  I did add 2 spoonfuls of no cal sweetner but meh.  That counts for nada too.  Now to finish my treat and spam crap.

Book Review - Ready Player One - Ernest Cline

Ready Player OneReady Player One by Ernest Cline
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In a world where the virtual reality is more common place than reality itself, there's another game that's being played. One that's a giant riddle in a realm that's immense and its winner takes all.

Wade's only way out of a world that seems to be slowly dying because of pollution and economic downfall is the OASIS system created by James Halliday. The same James Halliday that hid an Easter Egg (something hidden in the game where clues are given as to where it is) in the system that could make the dreams of the finder come true. Millions of people were searching for it and Wade was one of those who searched for it for five years. Then it happened, he figured out the first clue. Everything changed after that.

I adored this book. It was new and something completely different. I loved the references from all fandoms. Throughout the whole book I was thinking, I know that one and that one and that one! The twists and turns of it all kept me riveted to the story and I just had to know what happened in the end. And I wasn't disappointed.

I would definitely recommend this story to others.
