Well, fuck.

Subject: Thank you - from National Instruments

Dear Matt,

Thank you for taking the time to interview with us regarding the Tech Writer position available at National Instruments. After careful consideration...

We all know how the rest goes. And fuck again, Danny didn't get the job at NCSoft. So now we're both up shit creek with nowhere to paddle (or live). Riverside, here we come.

Oh, but this — this is really comforting: my free will astrology horoscope was SO spot on!

This will be a bad news, good news kind of week, Aquarius. But the bad news will be small in proportion to the good news, and may even be necessary for the good news to occur. For instance, a mosquito might keep you up all night. That, in turn, could lead you to call in sick for work, spend the day rethinking your whole life, and decide to make a dramatic move that will change everything for the better.

Where do you want to go in the coming week, Aquarius? Who do you want to be?

Aquarius would have just liked to celebrate the nation's birth without spraining his ankle again. (Five times and counting this year!)

Except for movies and video games, this summer sucks.

UPDATE: Fucking great.

The Denver Nuggets have zeroed in on San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili as their top priority in free agency if their long-shot pursuit of Kobe Bryant falls short and are believed to be planning to make a huge offer to Ginobili in the coming days, league sources tell ESPN's David Aldridge.

Anyone else want to punch me while I'm down?
