well, sometime between when i last checked and posting my post yesterday, i got my response from the teaching staffing people...there's a "networking event" in a couple weeks (annoying due to how i'm gonna have to finagle getting out of work), and so they tell me to login to my application to sign up...but then i login and there are no events listed for me to be able to sign up for...so uh, i thought it was moving forward but now i don't know what's going on...
anyway, today's been active...Mary Beth and i went to meet Josh for lunch down in southaven near where he works...we tried that german place, Mary's...we were excited having found out there's a german place in the area a while back, now that we went it's a little disappointing, i mean, it's not bad but not spectacular...i guess it's adequate for a strip mall german restaurant...it was fun hanging out with Josh...anyway, then we decided to do the few things that one can do in southaven (which is go to like two bookstores...) at the goodwill i picked up: The Divine Comedy by Dante Aligheri, Life and Fate by Vasily Grossman, and The Faber Book of Contemporary Irish Poetry...at book haven i picked up Following the Equator: a Journey around the World by Mark Twain...then back into town, i'd finally tracked down the goodwill bookstore that's in memphis so while in the spirit i figured we'd go there, it was pretty swell, i got: Exemplary Stories by Miguel de Cervantes, The Recognition of Herman Melville (an oldish collection of criticism), A Hero of Our Time by Mikhail Lermontov, The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain, Black Swan Green by David Mitchell, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, Everyman by Philip Roth, The Cement Garden by Ian McEwan, The Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares, True at First Light by Ernest Hemingway, and Rickshaw by Lao She...okay, yeah, enough with the damn books! then a swing by target and i picked up a keyboard stand on clearance for $10...and yeah, that's the driving around of today so far...
