So, whats up with this Hot Coffee thing?

Quick update to job situation: Had car sales training last Monday and Tuesday. While money may be good, I don't seriously see myself doing that. Having to be what I consider rude in order to make money is definately not what I want to spend significant time doing. I had an interview last Wednesday with the Toyota dealership in Burlington. I don't think it went well at all (funny that what should have been the easiest interview I've had felt like my worst). Haven't heard back from them or from where I was trained yet (they have a vested interest in my getting hired. . .if I don't, they don't get paid for my 2 days of training). Honestly, I really want to get ANY kind of job so I have a way out of needing to be hired at a car dealership. I'm currently finishing up writing some cover letters for tech support jobs at Elon and at Wake Forest. Maybe I'll get some kind of call back soon. I hope.

Now, onto other things. Mainly, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. I've been playing this a lot on PC. Its far more fun sitting in front of my computer than in front of the TV and PS2 (not entirely sure why that is). I will admit that I downloaded the game just so I could see what the whole deal with the "Hot Coffee" mod is, because I couldnt stand hearing about it in the news, seeing Rockstar get the blame for everything when seriously, nothing is their fault. They left code in the game, that wasn't implemented in-game, someone hacked it and distributed the hack (Rockstar has nothing to do with distribution), yet its Rockstars fault for everything, especially when a 90 year old grandmother wants to sue because she bought it for her 14 year old grandson. How ridiculous is that? I could go on forever about this I think but its late, so we're saved for now. But I really can't stand the fact that the game has been pulled from shelves, re-rated, and now millions of taxpayers dollars are going into a useless investigation against Rockstar. BAH!

Maybe I'll write some more in a few days, relating to job status maybe if something happens.
