And actually, I really like it. I was worried I wouldn't, since they needed me to work pretty much only nights (5:30-midnight, or 6 to midnight, depending on which store) and I'm not much of a night person. The first week required a lot of napping. Also, sometimes I make overtime--since I live closest to the main store (aka 5-7 minute drive when almost everyone else is 20 or more) sometimes I get called in earlier to help the day shift if they get suddenly overwhelmed (they're usually much, much slower than night shift, day shift has 1 worker, night shift 3-5). And if I go in early enough (usually by 3-3:30) they tend to let me off early if they can, which I don't mind (the last hours of both store's nights is mind-numbingly dull after you finish cleaning)
I also get 1 dollar more than minimum wage an hour plus a share of the tips (one night there were 4 people working and I got over 9 bucks just in tips--seriously), do not have to clock out to eat dinner if I don't leave the premises and do so in under 15 minutes (and if i do want to leave, there's a McDonald's across the street and a KFC a bit down from it), I can take a short break without clocking out and on busy nights my superiors have been known to MAKE me take those breaks (one even made me sit outside with my iPod for seven or so minutes since we'd had an hour long rush).
I don't mind the cleaning--it help me stay awake (and there will be cleaning in this ice-cream store, let me tell you--kids, Formica tables, teenage tourists--you get the drift). I'm mostly cleared to work register, but the supervisors still prefer to be close in case I make a mistake (I apparently make less of those than a few new hires who have been there a bit longer though--yay!) and need help. I get 1-2 samples of ice-cream if I want them (usually don't but some nights I need 'em).
All in all, it's a good summer job. Though as the boss pointed out, all the summer hires get fired in August (don't mind, have college). Still, I think I'm a prime candidate for next year!

My New Tumblr Blog: Evil Can Be Dumb Too
Hi everyone! In addition to my normal blog, I have made a new one: Evil Can Be Dumb Too http://www.tumblr.com/blog/evilcanbdumbtoo
So, does everyone know that immortal quote by Dark Helmet?
"Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb."
Now, the way most people refute this is by pointing out smart heroes (or heroes who seem dumb/naive but aren't actually), which is why the TvTropes page "Good is Dumb" has the counter-page "Good is Not Dumb" but I think we can go further and funnier:
This blog will have evil people doing dumb things. Send me suggestions if you have them (and I'll send clarity emails if I don't quite understand it so i
I Had a Dream about the DC Reboot
And it was oddly awesome.
See, there was this bit where Nightwing was watching Robin for the night, and they ran into the Outlaws and there was some fighting and bantering and they realized they were on the same side for this thing and worked together. That's kind of like the prologue.
Because THEN Dick noticed that Kory hasn't said much all night and he finds out she doesn't remember him (like, at all) and is crushed ("not even as pals? Come on!"). And Roy and Jason feel seriously bad all of the sudden, since they're sleeping with an amnesiac who's actually their friend who doesn't remember them but always loved this guy right here that's
Genderbending and Superhero Costumes
Have you ever noticed that when a character is gender-bent, their costume changes radically? Now, sometimes that would make sense, like with Wonder- Woman (no man would ever wear that) or any male character who normally goes shirtless. But I've noticed that with genders getting bent more and more in the random (they happened more often during one-offs in the Silver Age), there seem to be some unfortunate implications popping up on both ends.
Woman to Man:
Yes, there are less of these, but there are a few things to notice:
1) It will either be insanely more masculine than what the character already wears, or will still stay fairly feminine
Won't be on for a bit
Okay, my computer had a weird issue: it couldn't order stuff from amazon. That was it.
When I was at work yesterday, my mom took it to this guy in our town who fixes computers. He's done good work before, so we thought he;d know what was wrong.
I don't know if he fixed it, becuase I can no longer acess the internet. Or microsoft office. or itunes. or make it do anything really. And he took of Vista and put on XP. So, it doesn't work. At all.
Note my fury.
So, this is a quick note while I'm on my mom's computer. I'm hoping it will be fixed by the weekend. My dad, who's more computer-savvy thatn my mom, is going to take it in on Friday, sin
