Today in Targets around America, was the release of the new Star Wars Episode III toys. As the clocked neared 8am, a growing crowd started to accumulate outside our doors and they rushed in when the doors opened. Most were normal looking people. There were some father and sons, but mostly it was guys by themselves usually late twenties to early thirties scrambling to the the new Yoda or Chewie actionfigure. Then there were these two people and man and woman dressed like Jedi. It was quite a site. They had dark brown robes, the same brown pants and a reddish shirt. The guy sported a bright green mohawk, funny, I don't remember and Jedi's having mohawks. Anyways so they all swooped into the aisle and loaded up on action figures and any other item that had a Star Wars logo attached to it. I'm surprised they left anything. One guy looked like he bought every action figure character, and at $7 each, he was shelling out some major cash for these things. Well thankfully, after that group things settled back down again and we could resume our boring jobs.
Other events in our life right now is that Justin has applied for a job in Nevada at a gold mining company. Also, our friend Sarah has also applied, this company is hiring about 20 people and no experience is required. Well they both made it through the application process and the phone interview so now they are getting flown to Nevada. Sarah is going firstI think she's leaving next week and Justin is leaving when she returns on the 13th and he'll be back on the 17th. Our hope is that both Justin and Sarah get the job so we can all move in together. It's really hard not to get our hopes up, we keep talking about "the move" we even have both our parents recruited for moving. I hope this goes well.
In other news, after two years we finally got to turn in out ghetto $20 cell phones and get new ones. We each got a different one, but both take pictures and can play real songs as rings. We made sure that Verizon has service in the area that we could be moving too.

Good luck with the gold mining job prospects. I'm excited for your phone! My Verizon 2-yr plan ends this July(?) and I'm hoping to upgrade to something cool. Right now I have this ginormous Kyocera phone that could double as a remote control.
Sorry Rayna, I never got e-mailed your comment so I didn't see it until I got Kates comments. Anyways, you should get a $100 off your next phone so you'll beable to get a pretty sweet one. Yeah we had Kyocera phones also, that must have been the starter phone when both signed up for our plans.
Yes, we really want this job/move. It is time to get out of Fargo, we both hate our menial retail jobs and theres nothing holding us here, except that my paretns and almost all of my relatives live around here. My plans for Nevada is that if we live in Elko, NV which is the main mine i belive is to go to the school they have in town. Right now it is a community college, but it services such a large area that the HR lady from the mine told Justin that it will become at 4-year in a year or two. So if it is possible, go to grad school there, but if there is nothing available I would pick up a complimentary degree to Paleo like Biology.
LMAO at those geeks!
You know what's even more fun, though? Messing with their jedi minds.
When the 2nd movie came out, my friend and I went to the theater and cut in front of all those star-wars costume wearing nerds, just for fun, and OMG! It was seriously a galatic battle, waiting to happen!
Cant wait to do it again when the 3rd movie comes out.
