Gran Turismo came out today on the PSP.

Gran Turismo gets me really pumped. I grew up on Gran Turismo. It's the reason I bought a Playstation. I remember spending my 8th grade summer holed up in the sweat locker that was my room playing Gran Turismo 2. My thumbs grew caluses . Gran Turismo 3 made me buy a Playstation 2. My thumbs were leather. Gran Turismo 4 made me a recluse summer 2005. That was roughly 5 years ago, and I've matured tremendously as a person; in all aspects.

WHERE IS GRAN TURISMO 5?!

Monday

Best thing all week. It's Monday, and I'm sure of it.


Watching it reminded me of this sticker. My dad bought it when we moved here. I didn't realize those funny waves spelled something til well into middle school.

FYI, Mickey's telling you it was 95 this afternoon.

Assistant Transportation Engineer Job Market...

So today I got an email about a job I applied for. Or so it seemed.

Hi Donson,

I am checking in on your employment situation. If you are in the Banking/Mortgage job market or if you are seeking career contacts in the Hacienda Heights area, please visit this site...

This employer-like email was obviously generated by information I submitted to one of the several job search engines by an algorithm someone was too lazy to program to sound more human-like. "this site" links to a linkedin-like job networking registration page.

How are there more job search/professional networking sites than there are jobs? I sign up for a new jobsearchnetworking site every time I apply to a job. I essentially have to submit 2 sets of information for every 1 job. Consequently the movie Brazil is not as far fetched as I thought. This is ridiculous and depressing.

I'm sick of this world we live in.

After declining ratings, Fox eventually decided to cancel the show, with one of their major reasons being to make room for the Family Guy spin-off series The Cleveland Show, which will be King of the Hill's ultimate replacement.

I lifted this embeded version off of Daniel's blog; it's fun.

Inglourious Basterds was really good.

It's a Youtube binge.

bacon.

Is anyone else sick of this internet-bacon phenomenon? Bacon's good, I get it as part of my grand slam, but come on. I realize internet memes are for the most part pointless fun, but there is nothing entertaining about seeing bacon on the internet. Cats? Fine, I get it, they're photogenic and lend themselves to funny captions. Piano cats? Even funnier. Ironic wolf t shirts? Also fine, they're funny, and best of all you can't get them at Urban Outfitters.

But bacon related objects/products/images? NO. NOT FUNNY. It's also pornographic, culturally insensitive, and leads to heart disease. I know it's delicious, that's why it's on my plate where it should be, not on the internet. I log on to see cool amazing stuff I probably won't see in real life, not breakfast. If you think this internet bacon craze/blogger crutch is funny, please get off the blogs and reassess your life.


life update:

I'm still looking for a job, preferably in transportation and planning, but really in anything that pays better than retail. On the bright side I have been reading, working out, watching movies a lot more than I did in college.
