Poor Aussie Bastard/The Interview

Today's Workout
Time: 30:02
Distance: 2.75 miles
Top Speed: 6.1 mph
Calories: 284
Weight: 163.8 pounds
Long story short, I got the job at Bookbuyers. 9 bucks an hour to be the media guy, which is quite a bit less than I would have liked, but the owner and I see very much eye-to-eye on a lot of things. I'm guardedly optimistic that it will turn into something sustainable, even for the "low" starting pay. We all have to start somewhere, right? The rub is one night and one weekend, because they need it. I have a problem with this, but then again...we'll see where it goes and whether or not I can swing it. More about it all later. But for now, I'm gainfully employed, doing pretty much exactly what I want to do.
In other news, Steve Irwin is dead. I won't go on a long diatribe about it because there are a lot of people who already are. But goddamnit, do you really think it's good form to say "He had it coming" and shrug? Do you really care that little about other human beings, are you *really* that jaded and cynical? More than being a celebrity, he was a person, and I really hate seeing the passing of someone treated with such callousness. Really, people, have a heart.
In yet other news, went to Paramount's Great America with my lovely otta and a certain big green![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
duncanroo. Rode almost everything there is to ride, and Duncan vehemently enjoyed me screaming the entire time. You'll have to ask him about it, I'm sure there are stories already floating around. It was an absolutely fabulous time, though Jiminy these people are expensive. Afterwards, Duncan took us out for sushi/teriyaki at a neat restaurant called Midori. I really don't think I could possibly have as much fun in another Japanese restaurant; the owner was just...unparalleled. He *makes* that restaurant (even though the food is really excellent as well).
There's a lot more I'd like to say, but it'll have to wait for later.
