Mojo Majik: Not Just an Ordinary Video Store

[x] I have a funky feeling my car will break down today along side of the freeway. The car is making a loud noise and seems to strain when changing gears. Transmission no doubt. So what do I plan to do about it? Fill it up at the BP and get a car wash, of course. I want to look good when I break down. I'll throw some sneakers in the trunk. Maybe a box of Cheezits and a water bottle. Who can pay for a check-up this close to vacation? Especially if it *is* the transmission? I don't want that hanging over my head while I'm sunning on the beach . . . I'd rather cope with the situation as it smacks me in the face.


[x] On another note, if I survive this week without making a complete mockery of Higher Education, I plan to finally do some serious job searching this summer. Yes. Perhaps. Seriously, I should. I'm considering the . . . Travel Industry. Sadly enough, the freelance copyediting job I sent for this weekend turned into a wash. I simply have no training in that area. Honestly, I don't think I will ever be able to truly focus on anytype of career without some meds, either. Bothersome.


[x] I had a horrible bike accident this weekend. Yeah. I was teaching some little kid how to ride his bike by leaning over him, holding on to his handlebars, and pushing as fast as I could run. We made some good speed. Until the kid accidently slipped on the pedals and put the brakes on suddenly. My first thought? His soft body would provide a nice cushion between me and the asphalt. My second thought? Aiiigaaaaaaaarf--don't land on and crush the kid! I twisted my hip, fell on the bike, and punctured my leg. Huge contusion. People were staring. The kid scuffed his palms and one knee. Meanwhile, I almost DIED.


[x] Have you been listening to "This I Believe" on NPR? My instincts want to mock it, but I think it may ultimately be a thoughtful way to provoke a wee bit of unity in [deep gravel voice] "a divided nation." What do I believe? Is it similiar at all to my neighbor?


[x] I'm off to the office today--must be there by noon (not likely at this rate). The last week of classes is simply so drawn out! I don't believe that anyone wants to be there. We are all finished. I'd rather compose my reading list for the summer--any suggestions?
