Good morning you lovely lovely people!
I'm in a rare good mood today in spite of things, as I saw an old friend for coffee today. He and I had worked in a trade counter (he was my boss), and became friends after exchanging quotes from films and books at each other for days. I hadn't seen him in years, and seeing him made me happy. He bought gifts too, such as American Mcgee's Alice, Discworld Noir, and Tron ! We caught up in a local coffee shop for about an hour, then he had to go on and quote up a job he and his father were working on. I hope I get to visit him again soon.
Elsewhere in life, I've been trying for yet more jobs (there really can't be that more to apply to in Reading!) and trying to find time to draw. Given that I'm moving out and unemployed I've had little time for this, but last night I put everything off so I could sit down and let the pencils dance for a while. I felt so good to just disengage from the bullshit of the last few months and put my imagination down onto paper. I came out with this after about two hours
Not my best, but I was happy with it regardless. Hope I get time to develop it more and make it into a pretty doodle!
Its not all rainbows and unicorns here, as you might have guessed. I keep getting turned down for jobs, and its taking its toll on my confidence and morale. Motivating myself to get up in the mornings was hard enough when I was employed, but now I'm having to try and remind myself that if lay in bed and do nothing I'll just rot. I can procrastinate all I want about the economy and lack of qualifications, but in the end if I am not looking for work, it won't appear. Its my partner I feel for the most. She's alone where she is, and always asks when I can be with her and how long I can stay... It breaks my heart to not be able to give her a solid answer.
Sorry, I know its alittle depressing to read all this. Lets have some music, shall we?
Such a wonderful film.
Right, I'm off to dive the 'net and fight crime.
Ta ta.
