Def Jam Fight for NY or Job Searching

Rob and I rented Def Jam Fight for NY on the Xbox a couple of days ago... It's a freakin' great game. The graphics are awesome and the fighting is disgustingly brutal. Controlling like the old N64 wrestling games (which were the peak of the genre in my opinion) it's a fast paced street fight with rappers and celebrities playing the roles of the characters. Henry Rollins, Flava Flav, Snoop, and a bunch of other people I've only passingly heard of. The coolest feature is definitely the story mode, which doubles as a create a player. You start off as a wus and build your repetoire of moves and strength as you go. To impress the crowd, you need to dress in style and buy some huge bling. Seriously, you buy bling. Rings, watches, chains, bracelets.... It's like a cool dress up game! You can also get tattooed and get tones of weird hairdos. The guy me and Rob created was named "Icephat" and was a tattooed monstrosity covered in diamonds and dressed in business attire. He had a pimp hat on too! By the end of the game, you dominate everyone, so it's a touch easy... In fact I beat it already. The story was definitely interesting though, with Snoop playing an evil gangster who's trying to take control of the streets from your boss through underground fight clubs... I would totally recommend trying the game out, if only for two of the specialty matches; the subway match (where to win you must throw your opponent in front of a speeding train) and the SUV match (where you must total your opponents SUV to win)
I started to casually look around for another job while I wait to see what happens at Greyhound. I had an interview at the People Bank for a position, but it became quite clear to both of us that the job was not a good fit for me. It was a territory manager for an exterminating company! The online description had nothing in common with that... The lady, who was super nice, said that she'd keep me on file because they occasionally get jobs that were more in my area of expertise and interest.
I spent a ton of time getting my visual scrapbook (a photo essay type thing) ready for my class and I was all pumped to show it.. My pumpedness was diminished when I saw how much more work everyone else had done... Some people made mini movies and crazy photo albums full of stuff! I was under the impression that we were not to use words at all but some people did (and the prof didn't seem to mind at all... errrghh). Some of these people were all into video editing software and whatnot and totally made me feel like a hack... What I did was decent enough I guess, but the damn thing wouldn't play on her laptop... It couldn't open .EXE files... What the fuck?!?!?!? Who ever heard of a cpu that can't open .EXE files.... How the fuck does it run things then???!!?? So no one in class got to hear my musical choices that included Leonard Cohen, Iron Maiden, Ben Folds Five, Alice Cooper, New Order, and Oingo Boingo! Then again, maybe it was for the best, since I was seemingly the only one who didn't use video... Interesting thing was she said in class that she wanted photo essays, even though the handout said you could do video or whatever.... I thought that I was doing what she wanted, but NO...
