JP3D & LAX
I must say, it looked great seeing it in the big screen. When the movie came out in 1993 I did not see it in theaters – so it was also kind of cool to be able to say that now I’ve done just that. In addition they digitally remastered the whole film and it looks great in 3D. Granted the movie hasn’t changed at all- nothing like that… but it was still nice to see. It came out this month and is currently in theaters.Afterwards we decided to take a trip to the ocean. We rode down route 133 – a straight shot to the ocean from our location. We stopped at Laguna beach before driving down to Dana Point. All in all it was a nice 40 mile drive across a strip of the SoCal costline. Stopping in Long Beach we walked along the sandy shore out under a pier and took in the views. Along the way my mom and I were wading in the water up to our knees. I must tell you, walk 2 & 1/2 miles in water up to your knees with the waves coming ashore and you will get quite the workout. My legs were feeling it that night into the next day! That’s for sure. After stopping for dinner in San Pedro we made our way back.That nearly brings us current, because all was quiet until yesterday. Early in the morning at 3am we were up and getting ready to go to to the Airport. I didn’t get much sleep the night before- if any… so needless to say I was a little groggy.
The LAX entrance with new lighted tubes all around the place, it looks good. The airport has been renovated while adding new terminals. We dropped off Maryia and she was on her way. She is flying to the PNW to visit her family and wont be back til the 20th.Umm, other than that? I was excited that Game of Thrones was back on TV. I also have come to the conclusion that my brother at this point in his life doesn’t feel his family (and the very least me) is much of importance or a priority to him. He tends to let me know by not replying or not answering me when I text/call. I feel like I can do nothing other than give him what he wants. A distant relationship at best.On the job front, I keep applying to many places and don’t tend to hear much of anything from anyone. Wait, you said the unemployment level went down??? No comment. I have to keep going at it – eventually something 10.6%
It was staring across from me as I ate.
Poking fun at me. Teasing me. This newspaper- the headline and all.
It read: ‘Unemployment rises to 10.6%.’
Yep, that’s right. No need to adjust your glasses or the screen. The unemployment statewide is steady at 9.8% (tied with RI for the worst in the country). Meanwhile LA county its even better rising from 10.4 to 10.6%.
Congratulations, you are one of the few. One of those not in the 89.4% of workers… No, you my friend should be headlined… in a picture on this newspaper no less.
Ick.
I have to keep telling myself things will improve. They have to, right? This can’t be the extent of things for me can it? Of course not- yet so often it feels like it is.
Truth be told- things are pretty bad on most of the west coast when it comes to the topic of unemployment. California increased, Oregon while they didn’t increase, also didn’t push any lower and economic indicators don’t show much will change for small markets. Seattle? Who knows. Not much of a chance ending up there, at least not anytime soon, or anything that I can see.
What to do? Might be able to have a job similar to ILS pretty soon. That would bring in a small sum of cash, but somewhat of an influx is better than what is currently happening.
I don’t want my posts being all about jobs and whatnot… But if they are about anything else they’d end up being protected or simply deleted altogether.
I did figure out why all my job interviews were coming from the OC. The unemployment there is just 7.1%!
It’s scary when you question purpose, or anything else for that matter.
It’s frustrating beyond belief. What a struggle.
I guess that’s all for now.

Daylight savings time starts Sunday (tomorrow) at 2 am and will remain that way until Sunday November 3rd.
For most of my life I grew up in Arizona and did not have any time change what-so-ever. I do remember taking trips across the border to CA and enjoying the time change. Now I am on the other side and the time change is nearly here.
I don’t mind it. Now-a-days technology makes such things so easy. My phone and computer will update the time by itself. The only thing in the house that won’t automatically change time would be the stove, the hanging clock and microwave. That’s not so bad.
Here is a video from a channel I follow on youtube. It breaks it all down… and gives some neat facts too.

So it rained yesterday with temps in the 40’s and by Tuesday it will be sunny, warm and in the high 70’s to low 80’s.. how crazy. I looked up the weather for AZ and they’re in for a bigger change. 40’s to 90’s. Ick. No thank you.
Things have been seemingly productive the past few days. My mom and dad have both been bed-ridden with flu like symptoms. Maryia and myself have been taking care of them up until today. It’s been nice actually. We have pretty much had the whole place to ourselves and have been in charge for meals and everything else. I can’t say that my favorite thing in the wold is taking care of Willie, but hey. Ya do what you should do.
Maryia and myself have gone through the garage stuff 110% and are now a total of 90% done REPACKING nearly every item we own. We await a purchase on a larger container to hold some frames and larger items- then we will be complete. It is a nice feeling… now I go and in the garage I feel organized. Everything is labeled on what is inside, if its fragile and the weight of the container. Weight? Yes, we have even labeled the containers to light, moderate, heavy and super heavy. I wish we didn’t have any super heavy containers- but what can you do.
My consolidation on my emails is going very well. I have pretty much gotten rid of all my emails (minus my oldest). Hmmm, come to think of it.. I don’t know why I blogged about that. But I did.
I suppose that means I don’t have much else to update on. Still looking for work – in all places. Still waiting for the phone to ring.
