What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

Smile: Got Zelda 64 3D in the mail. The game looks really good!

Frown: I am terrible at it. I'll never finish this game no matter what system I play it on.

don't feel bad: it's not you who is terrible, it is the game. I've tried it multiple times and yawwwwn.

Are you talking about Ocarina of Time 3DS? Where are you currently at?

I'm not that good of a gamer but I had no issues with OOT and found it a lot of fun. I still need to complete the Wii VC. I'm currently at the Ganondorf's castle.

[AppleQueso]

I have played OOT so many times over since its release that I could probably beat it blindfolded at this point. I still play through it at least once every year or two.

I'm not sure I'm capable of looking at the game objectively, but I like to think that it's still the most overall well-rounded of the 3D Zelda games.

Funny enough, I have zero interest in the 3DS remake. Nicer graphics don't mean much to me, and it doesn't look like they've really added or changed much of anything. Something more along the lines of REmake would've been awesome.

I remember I had that Z64 disc that came with Wind Waker that had the Master Quest on it, but I never played through it.

Hell, I never even played through the Master Quest on Zelda 1.

6-7 applications over a month is not very many if you're really trying to find a job. You should be doing 6-7 per day if you're serious about getting a job.

With this economy and our current technology, twenty applications a day would be the minimum. Your best bet is always a connection you found through networking, but job search sites (although they usually lead to nothing) allow you to send your resume out to hundreds of jobs with just a click.

Doesn't unemployment require you to apply to at least two jobs a day?

I had that disc too, I only ever played Master Quest up until the Fire Temple though, for whatever reason.

the MQ version of Jabu Jabu's Belly is really strange. Cows everywhere....

Two a week, actually.

And if you knew the area, you'd know that I can't just ride 10-20 miles since I'm on the highway and not many parts of it have bike paths and I have no intention of trying to ride my bike on the highway with the cars. And if it takes a bus an hour to get there, imagine how long a bike ride there would be.

You may be too concerned about limitations and also may be putting the cart before the horse.

Use these simple steps:

Apply on-line
Follow up to see if your application has been reviewed
Request a phone interview
If you pass the phone interview, prepare transportation for face to face interview
Ask employer for confirmation of employment, take out a loan and get yourself a cheap form of transportation

Easier said than done, I know, but don't let a lack of transportation be a source of lack of attempts.


Smile: It's triple coupon day at Harris-Teeter (grocery store) and the couponers are out in full force. I only needed to pick up a head of lettuce, but I stayed in the store for around fifteen minutes to see what these crazy women with coupon binders were purchasing.

In short: Crap.

I'm having hot dogs and a tossed salad tonight (baseball!) so trust me, I'm not on a culinary high horse.

But woof, who needs a ton of Kraft Pasta Salad/Rice-A-Roni/Pepsi Products/Mac&Cheese/canned Chili/Doritos/Hungry-Man Dinners/etc.?

If they are buying the food for a food or homeless shelter, awesome. Good on them for trying to help. But if people are actually taking this stuff home and eating it all the time...eww. We all have our vices, but no one should provide their family with a near infinite amount of Pepsi Max.

Smile: I think that this is so funny:

That girl really has a way with words!

My favorite line in a missive full of classics:

"If you're reading this right now and saying to yourself "But oh em gee Julia, I've been having so much fun with my sisters this week!", then punch yourself in the face right now so that I don't have to f*cking find you on campus to do it myself."
