I am officially sick of being unemployed now. It’s the most boring thing in the entire world. Also I have zero cash money.
Just got back from a job interview. It didn’t go too badly I don’t think… I didn’t say ‘Girl Power’ at least. Not entirely sure I convinced them I was the best person for the job either though.
I’m currently watching ‘Diet Doctors - inside and out’Â (Channel 5 copy of ‘You are what you eat’ - luckily lacking in irate Scottish ladies bollocking people). It entirely baffles me how people can be so utterly ignorant about food. It’s not difficult; if you eat shit food, you get fat. It’s that simple. Plus, healthy food is nicer. I just don’t understand! The girl on here used to eat 9 burgers a week. That’s more than 1 a day! Ick.
I’m off to Arran tomorrow - exciting!
Isn’t RIP a weird phrase? It’s essentially saying “I sincerely hope that, after your death, no-one digs up your corpse and performs some kind of puppet show with it/kicks it a bit” or perhaps “I hope no-one causes a fuss in the graveyard and disturbs your eternal rest.”
I just thought I’d share that thought.
Also, is it just me that gets weirded (I know it’s not a word) out by everyday things sometimes? I got very peturbed by a straw the other day. What’s the actual point? Who invented it? Why?!
Today is the day 300 comes out in the UK and I am very excited. It looks super excellent. It is also the closing date for applications for the minster job; slightly less exciting but it does mean they’ll put me out of my misery soon.
I’m going to Arran with my parents in 9 days as well. It’s my favourite place in the whole wide world and I’ve been every year of my life so far (sometimes twice) so I couldn’t miss it this year.
It looks like this:
I may be forced to miss it, however, if a job presents itself. This would make me very cross. Speaking of jobs, I should really go have a shower and then go to Reed and get them to find me some form of employment instead of doing this…
There’s an advert for Always on tv at the moment and the woman on it has a very strange bottom…
I recently found out that my housemate Jonathan is moving out, so I’ve been on the hunt for someone to move in with. I seem to get a lot of emails from really strange people with very broken English. Not that I would have a problem living with a foreign person; I’m sure they could speak English much better than I can speak their language, I’d just like to know what it is about my house that’s attracting people I clearly have nothing in common with. However, some normal people have replied (at least I think they’re normal) so we’ll see how that goes.
More adverts… Imagine being the Dulco-ease woman. How embarrassing.
I’m very excited about the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. It looks excellent. We can only hope that Shredder and Krang are in it, along with Bebop and Rocksteady.
Why is all music coming out at the moment so rubbish? It’s all very dull, they seem to have completely changed the meaning of the word indie and now it involves wearing very tight jeans, pointy shoes and having a very inflated sense of self-importance. I wish some people would make some good music I could dance to.
The theme music to the O.C is one of the most dreadful songs I’ve ever heard.
I haven’t posted on here for a while. Mainly because my life is at somewhat of a standstill, with no job to speak of.
My ice cream maker did arrive though, which was pretty fucking cool. I made vanilla ice cream with crushed Dime bars in it and it was the sex. Duncan spent a little while gazing at it saying ‘I can’t believe you made this from scratch’ which made me happy, not least because he doesn’t even like vanilla ice cream. So yes, I am incredible.
That picture was on Google image search when I searched for ice cream. It’s no wonder he’s looking so upset - Nobbly Bobblys are revolting.
However, what they don’t tell you on ebay when you’re buying hugely underpriced ice cream makers is how much bloody effort goes in just to make it. Not only do you have to make what is essentially vanilla custard, which is difficult enough, you then have to chill it to 8 degrees before even putting it in the ice cream maker. This is all after having to chill the bowl for at least 24 hours beforehand. I thought these things were meant to make life easier, not make me waste an entire day fannying about making desserts. Although I suppose saying the day was wasted is a bit strong - it’s not like I had anything important to do.
Also, my Be-Ro book came, which was very pleasing. I don’t trust any book as much as I do that one for baking. It was only £1.50 with p&p as well, which I think I’ve mentioned before but am still very chuffed about.
I really should stop procrastinating and actually apply for some jobs now. I’m applying for one at shoe-shop.com. I’m hoping I’ll get free trainers. That would be nice.
