a bride in calcutta

[soundczech]

After months of insane boredom I'm finally starting a new job on Monday, as a Permissions Assistant at Cambridge Uni Press, finding images / negotiating to buy the rights for images for high school text books and stuff. It's kind of a relief, it's been a little under a year since I finished uni now, there's only so long I can cloister myself away from the real world without turning into the creepy kind of hermit instead of the nerdy kind. So I'm looking forward to it. HEY SOPHIE, NO USING ME AS AN EXAMPLE OF UNEMPLOYED ARTS STUDENTS NOW HUH. I have eyes and ears everywhere. Live the dream, Shitty, live the dream.

My mother returned from China last Monday with a host of pirated loot for me, including this complete Oz collection that looks more like a board game than a box set, a million other dvds, some S.H.E cds, a pirated copy of Cartoon KAT-TUN II You (she was really disappointed to find out that I already had another, real version, because she thought she'd found one of their cds that I'd have never heard of. Clearly she does not understand the fever of my obsession.) and this cd by some guy that I have begun calling "random old Chinese man". The twenty year old at the record store told her it was a great cd and I would like it. I suspect he was just trying to make a sale, it sounds like the Chinese equivalent of Willie Nelson or Kamahl or something. Probably he is some god of Chinese popular music and one day he will appear as a guest on SMAPxSMAP.

I've been reading a lot lately because I can no longer stand the flickering of my laptop screen (the power jack is busted) for more than twenty minutes or so at a time. When I am online I am obsessive compulsively refreshing Facebook over and over. foreword sends me like a billion sealions for my aquarium a day.

Today I saw a small child breakdance and it was one of the greatest moments of my life.

Congratulations on the Job!
My High-Five apparently had the desired affect!

What are your hours? Will I be seeing you as a regular on the Bus-Lines to Fisherman's Bend?
Heh, I doubt we can "do lunch" seemings my lunch is 2:30-3:30.

my best friend deleted his facebook for two days in a fit of stress last year (he let his messages and wall posts build up and people started angrily sending more in response to his lack of reply) and when the link to his name disappeared in my pictures, I thought he had ceased to exist for a brief disastrous moment.

congratulations on the jobbbb♥. :D

congratulations - now you have a job! :D

Once I saw a small child breakdance at Waterloo in London.

It was one of the more enlightening experiences of my life.

Oh, I remember when my dad bought this obviously bootleg CD. He was so excited; I felt kinda bad when I told him it wasn't a real copy. Even though it should've been obvious; the paper insert looked like someone printed it from their home printer except, you know, worse. I can only imagine what a bootleg Cartoon KAT-TUN II YOU CD looks like; for some reason it's really really amusing me...

BTW the picture freaked me out at first because I didn't know what it was. Though now I's just wondering what the hell your cat is licking. A blanket of some sort?

WONDERFUL WONDERFUL NEW JOB! I think you should post the first picture you get published :D a mark of fame!

Well.

Now I feel like the sort of person who still breaks up with their parters by leaving them a note in their coat even at 20... Granted, I do have a lamp in the form of a bunny in my room so maybe it's just suitable that I let Aki poke you for me.

I'm not sure I should leave a comment here but I couldn't figure out another way to say thanks for adding me and if I hadn't said anything at all I would have felt even more stupid. Even sort of creepy. So, thank you for adding me and letting me see the glorious Akame picspam!
