I Should Have Known They Would Say 'Nein':

It's been a couple of weeks of inactivity, I know. Nothing terribly exciting has been happening to me. Well, not until this past weekend, when I spontaneously decided to go to Montreal. It all came together quite quickly, and worked out pretty well. I crashed at my cousin's place, which was really nice. Got to hang out with Marie and observe her sushi eating habits. How the roe got in her hair, we'll never know. We also went to see "Love Actually", which is a hilarious movie starring every British actor on the face of the planet and is not as sappy as one might think. While the "many stories linked together" concept isn't new, the interesting twist is that not all of the stories have a happy ending. Go check it out. Oh, the guys in the audience need added incentive? It actually has some porn in it.

Here's some relatively depressing news. I got a rejection letter today. From Kraft Foods. Located in Munich. Yes friends, I had applied for a job in Germany. It was quite exciting for a little while, but they ended up saying nein to me after all. They even sent my resume back. It's like they want no recollection of me whatsoever. I learned soon after I had first sent off the application that in some countries, it's common to send a photo of yourself along with your personal information as a part of your resume. Maybe they thought I had something to hide by not sending them my mug shot.
