FICTION OF THE NINJA KIND

Rachel Alexandra won the Woodward yesterday against the boys again. The fifth grade 1 race in a row. Fillies are really burning up the racing world. I would give so much to see her and Zenyatta race against each other. Or, in a really cool world they could rule the Breeder's Cup in October by having Zenyatta run the in the Distaff (Zenyatta does not run against boys) and Rachel in the Classic and they could win win win. Oh yes. Sadly, Rachel is not running in any Breeder's Cup race because she doesn't like the surface. So this Woodward was no easy win for Rachel either. She only won by a nose or so, but it was sweet, wire to wire and Macho Again couldn't catch her neither could Da'tara. Some familiar names in that field. So this makes my weekend.

Also on the up is still Leverage. I don't talk about it as much because it's cute and fun and not a show I'm obsessing over but I like it a lot. So much love for Elliot, Hardison, and Parker. This will be the last week of Leverage for awhile. Summer TV is ending and fall TV is not close enough.

Things I Will Be Watching This Fall
1. Dollhouse-I like it enough to watch the second season especially after Ephitaph 1 and with all the BSG cast members they're going to have me thinks it will be amazing.
2. Not Sarah Connor because people are stupid and cancel the show I'm really going to miss
3. NCIS-MAYBE. I've heard spoilers that make me really unhappy with this show. I mean as in I may stop watching on my own personal principles of not supporting a show that treats women the way this show does and thinks that it's okay. There is no excuse for a show that constantly promotes that women will always die over men due to being incompetent, traitors, and that because they're feminine they're deaths are more upsetting. I just think it's disgusting and it's really making me not enjoy the show anymore.

I think it's it. Woe is me for there is almost no fall TV. Ideas?

One more week until True Blood is over and I can swear myself off of such shows. yay. But I will miss Eric and Pam and they're snarkiness. Oh Teacup Humans. I laughed my ass off.

I spent the weekend concerned for my job. Then I found out they were hiring yet another group of people. Suddenly I'm not so concerned anymore. I really do want to figure out what I want to do for a career though. Right now this job is good enough and it is a challenge in some ways, but there is something missing. Maybe it's the feeling of being challenged by my peers which for the most part I'm not. They are great and fantastic people most of whom I like, but they're not challenging in the same way other St. Olaf students were. So I'm really trying to focus in on what I want to do next. So far the only realistic option I see is Teach For America because it both affords me a job and would forgive some of my student loans which I feel like I'm going to need.

The other option is to try and take the State Department Foreign Service Test. And to show how that is only a tiny idea that is just starting to filter into existence I say that I'm not even sure if that is what it is called. So these are two ideas I need to play more with while looking into some other options.

Sarah Connor Chronicles and NCIS info under the cut for the disinterested.
