Experience an Asset

Boredom. It Haunts me. Everyday. Jobs seem to be scarce, and it's not like I haven't tried. I gave out probably 30 or more resumes, plus I went and tried to talk to managers. I also called back a few places to see what was up only to get a 14.5 sec interview which consisted of:
"what kind of experience do you have?"
"well I worked at a drug stor-"
"restaurant experience."
"I have never worked in one, but-"
"well I'm sorry this isn't the job for you , we need some one with experience."
"ok, thanks for your time" (more like wasting MY time)
Not to mention the fact that she was a complete Bitch the whole time who was not dressed in any manner to run a business. I mean there's casual then there is track pants with Crocs plus a sweater with a kitty on it and unwashed hair. Also, how does one gain restaurant experience if you need restaurant experience to work in a restaurant?? I'm pretty sure if I did happen to get a job there I would have called the health department. All the places that were hiring in the area were indeed restaurants so they indeed hired people with experience over me. My last hope is Wendys. Come on WENDYS!
It may turn out to be a very boring summer, and 0 income summer. woo.

Oh movies...

I didn't watch the MTV movie awards because MTV is dumb and I have developed a strong disliking for it. Anyway, as it turns out Twilight cleaned up. Of course. Now I haven't watched the whole thing, but I feel as though the movies running against it had a bit of a hill to climb. Almost every kid between the ages of 10 to 16 love that movie. I don't even think they know why they like it. Probably because it's cool. I'm not saying it's a bad movie, I just fear that people are going to close themselves off to real movies. Movies that get you right in the gut and tear out your insides with emotion. I probably will watch Twilight one day, and who knows I might even like it (although Buffy vampires are better hands down).
Real movies are out there, but you have to look for them. A good place to find them is in the 70's and 80's. I love old movies like The Exorcist, Ghostbusters, The Bluesbrothers, the Rocky Horror Picture Show, etc. They are basically movies that will never die.... I watched Stripes with Bill Murray the other day, AH sooo good. I recommend it. Good fun humour, and classic actors. Old movies are like fine wine they only get better with age. Watch Stripes.
