I was careening around the intertubes and found this:

I'd say its about 70/30 to get stuck in dev hell, or fail in the American market but then pacific rim made almost a half billion counting oversees sales...

I never did see much of the original series' or books but they sure looked cool. I had the PS2 game though, but i never beat it. The fact that it was about mech that turned into  jet and i was hunting alien giants was kinda badass. I recall i went looking for the series but got sidetracked by captain harlock.

My grandma died earlier to day, just slumped over waiting for breakfast, passed out in mom's arms and never woke up. I was at the library at the time, I get back about noon and EMTs and police are swarming around the house asking questions about how she died... being that she had a doctor phobia, like we say you need to see a doctor, she'd throw a fit like we asked if she wanted scorpions in her pants, she wasn't under observation or some shit like that so i'm watching them grill my mom on her eating habits, why she's not on meds and bunch of shit... The irony here is that we actually did manage to convince her to get checked out by this place that does house calls, took reconnecting with an estranged son to do it but like a few hours after we started making calls to verify the health care shit, she just dropped dead...

So here's the situation, for the past decade or so I and my mother's lives have basically revolved around trying to keep her out of a home, from our daily scheduled which revolves around here eating habits, to the places we live(accessibility), to the jobs we could take(someones got to make her a sandwich and tune in her radio make sure she dont fall...). Her death leaves us with a lot of free time in which to pursue employment, however the loss of her pension leaves our household with a gap in income. We have prospects but it may be going to get rough round here for awhile. I haven't been on in prime time as much as I've wanted to lately, been getting some quick rounds in the daytme or latenight, but now I may have even less time.

Now I got to ask a huge favor, as i said basically staying home to look after the family has left me with a spotty work history and a lack of references. I'm sure there's entry level work around here, but most job applications ask for contacts that aren't related(which when you're sole goal in life has been to make ham sandwiches and meatloaf and make sure gram doesnt trip on the way to the can and fill the free time with stompy explodey robots you don't really come by...) so I was wondering if there's any chance I could use some of you guys as references.

If anyone has advice or wisdom at this point I could use it, shit's getting bleak...

If only #1 in the list came in Christina Hendrix instead of "olson twin circa 2000".... though #3 does have it's.... charm...
