Job interview next week!  I feel good about this one.  I haven't done any new applications this month -- then again if I get this one I won't have to!

Oh, yeah, I'm also auditioning for a play next week.  It's Moliere -- The Imaginary Invalid.  What we would these days call a hypochondriac.  Moliere is an old French playwrite but he's supposed to ( Read more... )

Hello, livejournal!  It's been a while.

Right now I'm reading The Victory Secrets of Attila the Hun.  I started it because it's one of the best known stupid management advice books.  Basically, Attila is depicted as the CEO ("chieftan") of a corproation ("the Huns") and says things like "Because an ignored ally becomes indifferent or hostile, the ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas all.  Hope it was fun and family dramas were kept to a minimum ( Read more... )

Yesterday I found out that the Ouran High School Host Club manga had ended -- so, obviously, I tracked down some scanlations of the last seven or so chapters.  Seriously, these days, scanlations are higher quality than actual published releases -- probably because scanlations are done by fans but the companies that publish manga have to keep their ( Read more... )

I am now completely addicted to Spider-Man internet drama.  So, not only does the Spider-Man editor actively troll online, but the other day the sole writer on Spider-Man, Dan Slott, said fuck you to someone online.  Generally, people agree that Slott's outburst was provoked, but that doesn't change the fact that he was out of line.  I can't ( Read more... )

I had a dream the other night where Michael Jackson told me not to audition for more plays.  I mean, what the Hell!?  Why Michael Jackson!?

But, he was really nice about it -- basically, he asked me if whether with my difficult personality I should be doing such a team-oriented activity.  He was really classy about it, actually.  Suggested that if I ( Read more... )

I felt awful today...  Mainly because I single-handedly polished off two bottles of wine last night.  Hmmm, OK, I think it's time to enforce a "no drinkies" rule before I become an alcoholic ( Read more... )

I read Spider-Man -- yep, still getting Amazing Spider-Man after all these years.  Anyway, a recent issue brought back my favourite villain of all time -- the original Hobgoblin, Roderick Kingsley.  That is, brought him back for about ten pages before he's killed by another character who then becomes the new Hobgoblin.

Anyway, I liked the story, but ( Read more... )

Some good news: I got my results back.  A distinction for Strategic Procurement, a credit for Leadership (only two marks off a distinction, sadly) and a credit for Financial Management.  I have absolutely no idea how I pulled off that credit for Financial Management.  I must have done really well on the exam.

If I'd managed to fail a subject it ( Read more... )

Right now I'm engaged in an epic clean-up.  I've done under the bed (stuffing things you don't have an immediate use for under the bed is an effective short-term filing system that I wholeheartedly endorse).  Now I'm doing the cupboard.  A big part of this is throwing out pieces of paper that I don't really need anymore.  Hopefully the end result ( Read more... )
