Also, kind of freaked out after reading a link from the Gawker website the other day. Apparently, this group of "scholars" believes they have cracked the "Bible Code," which is basically just reading into symbolism. Anyway, it's not like I'm even in the area by any stretch of the imagination, but they claim that between yesterday and Monday someone is going to try to destroy the U.N.

That's right. The U.N. building in NYC. And they're supposedly 98% sure.

What scares me isn't the "threat" of a building being destroyed (because I'm 98% sure they're crazy), but that this group truly believes that they can figure out symbolism in a definitive way. Symbols are there for a reason. If the text even is symbolic. Maybe its allegorical. Or maybe its literal. Or maybe JUST maybe, it's not meant to be cracked by some group of overly self-assured scholars.

Oh, and they claim to have taken out ads in NYC area papers warning residents of the impending doom. Even a press release.

Creepy.

Senseless Acts of Vanity

Job searches can be so discouraging.

In the past week I've been to more interviews than in the rest of my 3 months of searching. People are calling for first interviews. I go to the interviews. I even bought a business suit. And still nothing. The jobs I really want have scheduled interviews for next week. These are NOT located in the general area that I reside in (thank god). Now I just have to wait. Wait to win the lotto.

On the positive side of things, Smokey and I are having a rummy death match this weekend.

Welcome to the one of millions of aimlessly narcissitic blogs around the world. I can't promise that this will be any more or less entertaining than the others.

In my mildly exciting world, today I learned that the minds of some people work in frightening ways. For instance, let's pretend that a fifty-plus man who is hanging around a diner discovers the twentyish cook is gay. Well, one might assume said man would think something along the lines of "Well, that's nice" or "Where is my omelette?" This was not the case. Apparently, learning that a woman one has made slight conversation with is a lesbian, and even has a girlfriend is cause for brainstorming. This man proceeded to ask whether the cook would be interested in some sexual experimentation. Not just with the man. Not just the man and the cook's gf. But in a FOURSOME. That's right -- an orgy. Because this is completely normal to ask a perfect stranger who wants nothing more than for you to eat your eggs and go. Things like this make me wonder just how many people out there are this deluded. Think about it. The fleeting fantasy of a pansexual orgy is one thing. Actually thinking it might come to fruition is quite another. Thankfully, I learned of this story through hearsay. Witnessing it first hand might have been too much.
