Naw. Didn’t excite me that much the first time. Pretty standard by-the-numbers family conflict stuff.

Genesis?!

Genesis is planet forbidden!

## I go not!

I haven’t watched since about the middle of June.

Why is Canada orange on my map?

Pinky red? You commie bastards!

Speaking of whoresons, have I mentioned I was fired this past Wednesday? I spent the past few days filling out applications at a few places and I was given a one day assignment at a car auction today. I got to spend six hours driving around about eighty friggin’ Stratuses and a handful of SUVs and trucks. Based on that experience, I’ve decided that no matter how down on my luck I get, I’ll never be a valet. EVER.

Except maybe if I move to Peoria, Arizona. 😉

You applying for a job, **Aes**? I don’t know… our current valet is a hot young woman. Maybe if **Kn\*ckers** or **Viva** applied… 😉

Seriously, you have my sympathies. Most temp work sucks. So much of it is mind-numbingly dull or will really beat you up physically (or both). Hope something good comes your way soon.

Is Commander Riker a Valet now? I knew he should have never accepted that promotion!!!

Which means she’s almost certainly got a boyfriend or a fiancee or a husband or something already. Grumble grumble.

Mmmm. Jello. Is that the kind with the bits of fruit in it, or do you prefer yours straight up? Or in shot form, perhaps?

I wasn’t even aware that they **made** valet-flavored Jell-O™.

They do, but it tastes more like a taxi driver then a valet.

Sure I’ll be your valet! But I’m taking water aerobics now, so I might just drive your car into the nearest swimming pool, where it’s cooler. 😃

Crap, **Aes!** I was wondering how the interview had gone, but I won’t bother asking now. ☹

Well, I’ll be late to the party this semester; got another Wed. night class that won’t get out till 9:30 or so, and then I’ll have to watch the tape, but if I’m too tired I won’t post till the next day, and are you still following this conglomeration o’ sentences?  
I mentioned that I have a Wesley, but he seems to be a decent kid, so I guess I won’t remove him from the class. 😃  
I also have a Honey. I’m expecting Sugar, Darling, Dear and Sweetie any minute now.  
And I’ve got a Babatunde. I just like saying it. And typing it. Babatunde! Babatunde! Babatunde! Can you tell I still have water on the brain from water aerobics? Shouldn’t that be watrobics, since we weren’t in the aer?

```
 The two reruns this Wed. are good ones. Then just a few more to play with again until somebody starts the new threads.

Oh, yeah… by the way, I do have an interview for a job tomorrow at a different temp agency. I don’t know what position it might be for but I asked them only to give me full time work. Maybe I’ll get lucky and get to be one of those office drone types that also has access to the 'net. That’d rock. (Pfft… yeah, right. That’ll never happen. It’ll be some sort of crappy manual labor job. Blargh.)
