Small Miracles and Some Lyricals

Maybe it was a good idea for me to post the other day!! In regards to "The Amazing Job" that I was laid off from temping at, I received a request for my resume through my temp service. Two hours later, I received a call to come in for an interview on the 28th!! I'm so excited, but also very nervous. I really hope I make a good impression with them, maybe they'll hire me on full time! That would be awesometastic, because I really really really loved that job, and I miss it so much. All of the other employees were awesome, and my managers were great. I'm really hoping this goes well, because I would hate to have to go work somewhere else knowing that someone out there is working my stumbled upon dream job and might not appreciate it as much as I do.

So to keep myself in a pretty good mood, I've been listening to music that I grew up with, as well as some new stuff. The bands include She Wants Revenge, Bowling for Soup, Eve 6, and recently James Vincent McMorrow. Yeah, I know it's a pretty strange range of music, but I'm pretty diverse when it comes to listening and enjoying music. I like James because his music is kind of melancholy, but with a soft relaxed feeling to it. Just a touch of happiness, and it feels like something very fragile that could break if the wind were to blow too hard. I really love his style a lot.

As for movies, the latest movies I've watched have been "Going the Distance" (which was fantastic and I highly recommend) and "The Crow" (the first one). I haven't seen any of the sequels for The Crow, but I've heard mixed reviews for them. I still plan to watch them however, so I can judge for myself whether or not I like them at all. If you haven't seen "The Crow", it's the original comic book turned movie that turned out amazingly well. It's not corny or too far-fetched considering the comic it is based on, and the cinematography and costume design is fantaaaastic!!

For reading, I re-read the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter novels by Laurell K. Hamilton. I haven't read past Danse Macabre, but I do plan on it. I do recall trying to read the one after Danse Macabre, but I couldn't get past the fourth page. I'm hoping maybe this time around I'll have an easier time making my way through it, because the series really did start out great, and I don't want to have to give up on it like this. D:

In regards to video games, I've been playing a strange combination. I've mostly been playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and considering I'm a girl it's been a little odd, especially now that I have a microphone. However, I'm actually getting a lot better at it, and since you can mute other players if they get out of hand and you still want to play in that particular lobby, I haven't had too many issues. I've also been playing Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and Devil May Cry. Skyrim is amazing! The graphics are just breathtaking, and the storyline is easy to get into, even if you've never played any of the other games in the series. They had some issues with saved data and trophies getting cleared out, as wells as the game freezing or lagging very badly in some towns. They have patched it however, and it seems to be doing a lot better now. I haven't had any of the issues I was having previously when I played, so I'm happy in those regards. :D
Devil May Cry is an older game, but still pretty good. If your not familiar with it, it's from the same company that made Bayonetta, and the games have similar combat systems on them. Considering the time DMC came out, the graphics are very good, and the story is decent so far. I'm not finished yet though, so I'm not going to pass final judgement on it yet.

Well, those are all of the things I've been doing recently to keep myself busy. Other than that, not much is going on. So, what have you been doing recently? Have any recommendations for me? I'm always open to new ideas and different things. Here's to hoping that your day is awesome!! See ya
