Have a cup of coffee and a catch up

September 5th, 2008

Well it’s been a busy week in the camp this week, applied for three different jobs, I’m focusing on Government jobs because thats what I’ve done for the past fifteen months or so.  Government jobs mean bloody selection criteria, selection criteria leads to frustration, frustration leads to anger, anger leads to hate and everyone knows where hate leads to.

That image really cracks me up, no one considers the nameless Storm Trooper’s hopes and aspirations.  I was talking about selection criteria though and unfortunately that has been sucking up my time.  I have been posting over at my posterous site though generally everyday, had to suplement old stuff in with the new stuff:

  

I’m really happy with the Iron Man pencils and I’m going to add ink to them after I finish my hot cup of java and chatting to you.  The Robin drawing is my background for Twitter too.

Speaking of Twitter, I had a major culling of people I follow on there.  I got sick of seeing conversations that I wanted to contribute to and then being ignored so I just got rid of them.  I also noticed that there were such a huge number of ‘how to blog’ people on there that I was following and frankly there is only a certain number of ‘make movey writing good titles’ posts I can read before I wonder about these people who blog about blogging about blogging.

I am of course not infallible so if I dropped you from my list I apologise and if you send me a message I’ll add you back straight away, anyone who comments in here will get added automatically generally too.  I do also want to send a big word up to janetwheeler, kathleenjoy (permission required to view) and gamerbabe360 who always converse with me despite neither reading this blog to my knowledge.  They are good salt of the twitter earth people.

I had to set aside the speed reading book, though I have increased my speed by about 75 words per minute, job applications come first unfortunately but I’ll try and finish the activities by the end of the weekend.

I have been playing World in Conflict though whenever I get the chance, picked the game up for $8 at K-Mart!!!  It is brilliant, fun and challenging, if you like RTS then I highly recommend it!

Still reading Saga of the Seven Suns book one - it is really really good.  So much detail and so many characters.  No I will not be going over to fantasy books though, it’s as close as I get (which isn’t that close!).  Trying to track down a copy of City of Ember but Australia doesn’t seem to stock it so it is off to the import shops.

Started watching the new 90210 series, I can easily get hooked on this, I’ll write about it when I finish the two part opening episode, found myself grinning though when the ‘revamped’ 90210 theme played over the credits.

Upgraded Wordpress to the latest version, had to go through and remove all the weird generated characters.  

Also have officially made Chrome my default browser.

Well that’s about it for me, finished the coffee, I hate instant coffee but it went down alright, how was yours?
