UPDATING: this entry to say I got an interview! Keep those fingers crossed and thumbs held that Sprat may just yet re-enter the ranks of the gainfully employed.

It's next Fri, though so I'm going to be a bit of a nervous wreck all week, I'm sure... surreal

Clicking: send on another job application email. It's with a local independent theatre company whose work I...

Continuing: to job hunt. I didn't get that last one. A shame 'cos I could've done the work with my eyes closed and it paid well. frown

Are you hunting in the academic job market? If so, I can't wish you luck--what you could really use is a miracle.

There should be a smiley or something up there to indicate I mean that jovially and not as a total Mr Downerpants.

theyre all lyrics from refused, the lost patrol, and the (international) noise conspiracy. i have a lot of other text tattoos, too, all over me, and those ones are other lyrics and quotes from books, because im a nerd like that, haha.

did you find out yet?! i hope its a yesss...
lyxzen:
that tattoo is AWESOME! its cute, haha.

the quotes i have are:
"if i cant be beautiful i want to be invisible." (chuck palahniuk, invisible monsters)
"we're behaving like insects" (douglas coupland, generation-x
"war is peace / freedom is slavery / ignorance is strength" (orwell, 1984, of course)

and im figuring out what lines i want from cats cradle, catcher in the rye, the celestine prophecy, and possiblyyyyyy another coupland book, hey nostradamus.

im a sucker for words -- something you can surely relate to, haha.

Hello hello. Had enough of the academic life?

How long until you're meant to finish up at uni?

I've been frantically busy, including with a postgrad student who doesn't have a clue. Those are not fun.

Living: on the poverty line. My scholarship has finished. frown

Wearing: new boots I bought in Melbourne. White and faux military - storm trooper boots, I call 'em. love

Counting; down the days 'til the 13th. I'm going to be 30. surreal

Writing: 2 pieces for publication and a (really incredibly boring) history chapter of the thesis. Words words words everywhere. And some are pretty good, even! smile
shayne:
Happy Birthday xoxo. Hope it brings you oodles of money and success and more hot footwear

Rushing: around like a crazy creature. I'm going to a Performance Studies conference and to the gay and lesbian archives in Melbourne over the next 2 weeks. Lots of organising to do and I'm running way behind! If only this fucking conference paper would write itself I could be out purchasing warm, funky clothes which will no doubt be required in cold, drizzly Melb.

[Edit]

Mis-typing: a bunch of words lately. Words I use all the time, too. Like 'queer' which, from my fingers, keeps coming out with two Us and only one E and 'lesbian' which can come out as any combination of those letters: 'leisban', 'lesbain', 'lesiban' and so on. Seriously, it's kinda embarrassing. I think I've added all the various fuck-ups to my Autocorrect List...

Hating: "Old Time Rock 'n Roll". Hans (my Drag King buddy) chose the film Risky Business for this week's Song from a Movie category. It's a boring, boring song. I hate it. But the routine is good and should do well.
