Cat's Official Week:
      In honor of my job at the movie theater, we'll make this one Blue Slushy Week.

Topic 1) Let's Go to the Movies?: - By Me
      Yeah, ok...a cheap ploy to get a date, but I'm pretty sure I can get some friends into a movie for free.  We've got "Shrek" playing!  Woohoo!       The sad thing is that I'm actually kinda sick of the Carmike.  Popcorn sucks, and some of the people drive me nuts.  But I'm still willing to take some of you guys to a show.  And free popcorn if you bring your own bag!  < barf bag, for me>
      Oh yeah, now I remember that I was gonna write this article about my second day on the job (which was Tuesday).  I showed up at 11:15 as I was told to.  When I got there, I was completely shunned by all the other workers.  Less than a half an hour in to it, I was picking up some really bad vibes from this stoner-bitch-looking girl.  She made me feel like the biggest idiot in the world for not knowing how to run the popcorn machine (remember, it was my second day).  I thought she just hated me, but when I overheard her dissing my friend who was responsible for getting me the job, I realized that this bitch just hates everybody.
      So the whole day, I sat there on a bucket doing some summer reading while this one Rastafarian-looking manager stood in the corner and stared in my general direction.  (Tuesdays are not very busy movie days.)
      But by Thursday I had actually made new friends.  So instead of summer reading, I amused myself by laughing at other employee's antics.  Like Randy's straw mohawk.  You can really tell we make minimum wage...

Topic 2) The Lack of Mac: - By Val
      Why do people hate Mac computers?  I decided that I was going to buy a burner.  I had a pretty good check ($160), my sister had $80, and my mom was going to pay me back for it.  Good deal, right?  Wrong.  We went to Best Buy to see if they had any good ones (our requirements for a burner: Mac compatible and a  firewire [connects you directly to the computer instead of through a separate port and makes thing go much faster]).  Well, they had a big selection, many of which had firewire.  But did they have Mac? you ask (though by now you've probably figured that our for yourself... I hope)?   No, they didn't.  We asked the sales clerk if they had anything else, that was Mac compatible, and he said "No, we don't carry Macintosh products."  WHAT?  Is this insane or what?  Doesn't he know how popular Macintosh computers are now that iMac came out?  Do they know how much money they could be making?  No, they only care that the majority of America uses IBM compatible, so that's all they care about.  Idiots.  
            I'm sure (from past experience) that many other store will be the same way, and I'll end up buying the burner through a Mac catalog.  What a bother.

Topic 3) Urban Legends(?): - By Divya Nair
      At the Sesame Street Theme Park (I didn't know one existed either) A man was arrested for assaulting Cookie Monster.  The joke part is that the man claimed Cookie monster was tickling his Elmo!       A disc jockey from a San Jose radio station recently claimed that Justin Timberlake and Skank-Whore Extrodianire, Britney Spears were involved in a car crash where the skank died and Justin was left in a coma.  The truth is the DJ made it up and is probably gonna be sued shortly.  Personaly I was hoping the part about Britney was true...oh well!

Bye Bye Bye,
 Divya
