That's My Way of the Pirate!

talkingsoupJulie, I will never again bug you about how you never update your LJ. Now I understand. You really don't have time for anything else when you work from, like, 9-5. Not that I work from 9-5, oh God, at least I hope not (don't have my schedule yet). But the training sessions the past two days have literally been from 9-5. Yesterday was hell because it was nothing but this woman talking about everything under the Nordstrom sun. Today was a little better--we spent the first four or five hours going over register stuff, then lunch break for two hours since we let out early. I bought a bunch more clothes because I realized I have about two nice shirts that are wearable. Anyway, after that I was supposed to shadow another employee for three hours, but that didn't pan out really. I hung around the register in Men's Sportswear for about five minutes with another girl who'll be working there too, and then the guy told us we could leave if we wanted. It's another 9-5 day tomorrow, and then we should learn our general schedules. There's a sale next weekend that we have to be there for, after that I guess it depends on the scheduling and stuff.
But, oh well, woot, I have a job and am making money for sitting around listening to people talk!
There was a bright spot yesterday, however, oh yes there was. Pirates!! I was literally bouncing up and down as we waited in line (me, Liz, Lindy and Liz's mom). The theater had at least eight of their theaters entirely devoted to Pirates 2. So many people dressed as pirates, too--funny, not very original though. And the movie? The movie, you ask? *zomgflailsqueedie!!! It was INCREDIBLE! AMAZING! SPECTACULAR! KICKASS! AWESOME! And every other adjective you can think of. Oh man. Orlando acts better in this one and Johnny is better than ever. The effects and the acting and the music and the cameras and EVERYTHING simply roxored!! It was also darker than the first one. And characters, Elizabeth especially (grrr...) revealed sides of themselves you never knew they had. Questions are answered!! Drama! Caribbean witches! Comedy! Ghosts! Friends reunited! Friends betrayed! And there's a Kraken! And cannibals! It has everything! EVERYTHING, I SAY! Even an ending that will leave you wringing your hands in anticipation of the third one, which doesn't come out till next year, DAMN IT! The ending was...well, there's no words to describe it. You'll understand when you see the movie. And I want the soundtrack! Better than the first movie all around!
Even the previews were awesome! They're making a Transformers movie! As in, live action, Transformers movie! I mean, that's just awesome, even though I've never actually seen the show. Giant fricking robots! There were others that I don't remember right now that looked awesome too.
All that's left is to see Snakes on a Plane when that comes out. Hooray!
There was even a moment in Pirates when Will reminded me of Naruto, the way he's always saying "I don't go back on my word!" That's probably just because I'm a dork though.
Between the movie and jobbage I haven't had time at all to read or write or watch much of anything. Did manage to read Peacemaker 3, though. It's strange and kind of saddening to read it and know that they'll eventually be defeated. History is catching up with all of them, Okita Soji in particular.
Dude...the very LAST Kenshin comes out this month. I read 27 in the store the other day. Duude...I can't believe it's ending. I can't believe 27 left us where it left us! Pleeease let this one have a happy ending. Anime/manga too often has sad endings.
It was weird going straight from a spacy, oddball version of Saito to a "fuck you all", distant Saito.
No time to write lately. Will do tonight! I've got a plan for what happens from here until they leave Tamara, so woots to the beans.
Also need to finish KH sometime soon. I wanna rent the second one.
