I've been having some trouble concentrating on my "work" lately. And by "work" I mean learning JQuery and MVC, so I can put together a better résumé / portfolio to find a new job.

After a day of doing chores, and trying to avoid contact with my room mate (he has the flu, poor bear), I went to dinner tonight with the delightful mdarnaud at El Zarape Mexican restaurant.

Well, jquery by its nature isn't fully OO (javascript is sorta kinda OO, but not like Ruby or LISP), which means you're going to be shoehorning Proper MVC in some places. This will inevitably result in some spaghetti code, but proper form will keep it at a minimum.

The wonderful thing about using a real OO language and MVC is you can have a fully working app, stubbing out all the functions in literally moments. You can then, in an orderly fashion, code and insert each module, without breaking anything, ever. This entails thorough planning (like Pre Vis in movies/TV), but you want to do that anyway.
