exhausted from beating a dead horse

Perhaps a new approach is called for in my quest for a job, preferably a job that incorporates my education and natural bents. So I'm travelling down two new avenues to see where they lead. One's a little bizarre; the other is reasonable. I have a growing affinity for dead ends. But, God is good: AP came to my rescue. When a Mad girl has got your back, you're covered. Within two hours of our conversation, she had produced results. I like it. We'll see if a job materializes, but her help did function as CPR in my hope department.

My brother framed this segment of my life in terms of spiritual odyssey instead of the frame I've been using: dismal failure. It's beyond cliche to talk about letting go of what you thought your life would look like so I shan't.

I watched two movies AGAIN today. I saw WALL E with the chief in a theater; then we watched Casino Royale. AP laughed when I said WALL E lacked nuance, but it did. It's cute not profound. It's overly didactic: be sure to strap on your metaphor helmet-- it's an avalanche zone. And, I saw Casino Royale in the theater twice when it came out. I like it. The action sequences were amazing on the big screen and lost some of their umph on our TV screen. But, I noticed some connections I missed before.
