David Hasselhoff

So, I was reading US Weekly yesterday, when I came across this profound statement by David Hasselhoff:

"I'm proud of shows like Baywatch and Knight Rider because it's about saving lives, not taking lives. I think [the entertainment industry] is responsible for a lot of world peace."

Needless to say, I have since included the quote in my Facebook profile, and I feel even more substantiated in my secret admiration of Mr. Hasselhoff.

Psych!

I just thought it was funny and thought you might agree.

Yesterday I applied for a dozen jobs or so (for about the fourth day in a row), and I'm getting to that point where it seems that finding summer employment will be totally unsuccessful. I really do have hope, but it's frustrating nonetheless. And since I have about twenty-some dollars in my bank account and a piggy bank to my name, it seems ripe time to have a steady income again. Suh-weet.

Last night I watched Curb Your Enthusiasm with Matt. We watched 4 episodes from the first season, and they were funny as all get-out. I'ma keep watching them this summer because they make me laugh.

In addition to watching Curb Your Enthusiasm last night, my mom decided she would indulge Matt and me in a little story time. This more or less consisted of her telling us about the duck she had as a child, which she appropriately named, "Quack Quack." Apparently, the duck, Quack Quack, would wake up at 5am every morning to walk my grandfather two miles to where he met up with his fellow Lockheed employees to drive to work. Then he would walk back to my mother's house (which was essentially a tin tent with an outhouse on 5 acres of fig orchards) and wake her up around 6am. The story pretty much ended there, and it made my night.

Today I have already applied for a few jobs, and I intend to apply for a few more even. I am also going to take my father to the grocery store, so he can wheel himself up and down the aisles and get re-stocked for the next little while. After that, I have to help Bob paint my mom's new office downstairs in the house. I'm pretty excited about that. Not!

(And I keep thinking about my lovely Smith ladies...)
