things i lack: self discipline, security, self control, organisational skills, tactfulness, grace, sleep (due to lack of self discipline and control)...

it could be worse?

So I gave in, and now a part of my soul can be found at www.myspace.com/rindarindarinda. Now that's it there tho, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with it. I can't even work out how to change the background. Useless.

I haven't read a whole lot this year, but I thought I'd just go through the few things I have and comment on them, cos I've been ( Read more... )

Ok, after my rant about the half asian "community" a few entires ago I think it's worth mentioning how completely thrown I was today at work. There was some new girl, and she went up to Z and the conversation went something like this:

New Girl: Hey, what nationality are you?
Z: I'm half African, half English.
NG: Oh yeah, I could tell you were half- ( Read more... )

There are quite a few things I'm excited about at the moment. Firstly, discovering the movie Linda Linda Linda - yes, they got the spelling wrong but everything else is just so right! A movie about a all-girl high school rock band, soundtrack by James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins), cameos by the Ramones... it couldn't be much better. I can't wait for my ( Read more... )

I don't think i've ever had so much I wanted to write and so little idea of where to start or how to write it. The whole time i was in Vietnam i was thinking of things i wanted to write here (can't kill the geek) but it just seems like such an effort to try and recall what i was thinking and feeling at the time and try to record it. I think I'll ( Read more... )

well it has been a while since i wrote in here, but there weren't really any happy thoughts to write about and you all know i'm just not to the type of person to want to inflict my mediocre-ness on to other people (:P) so i just shut my mouth. maybe. ok i may be talkign shit because i'm extremely tired and kind of jittery for a vietnamese coffee i ( Read more... )

I wish I could have said that to some customers last night. I grew up watching fawlty towers as a work of fiction but if working in a crappy hotel restaurant for two and half years has taught me anything it's that there are people who are actually like that. Some people seem to take it upon themselves to make their lives and everyone around them as ( Read more... )

Zomg! I finally found something that sums up how I would review 'Lost In Translation' perfectly, and also everyone who has ever told me they've had a 'Lost In Translation Moment' in Japan:

Fourth year! When I first enrolled in my course, I thought it was only 4 years long. And 4 years sounded like forever to me but damn they've gone fast. The fastest four years of my life. They say time goes faster and faster as you get older. Scary thought. Thankfully I have my doubts considering this week felt like it lasted forever. I'm so tired ( Read more... )

This semester i have three 9am starts. 9am starts make me a bad person. They wouldn't be so bad if i could get into some kind of going-to-bed-early sleeping pattern but work makes that pretty much impossible. Oh well, it could be worse. I could have 8am starts ( Read more... )
