Flakey Nails

So, hokay, I'm waiting for a call from a company called Daedalic Entertainment for a PHONE INTERVIEW this afternoon.

I'm scared.

Its for an internship, they make point and click adventure games (like the Monkey Islands and Broken Sword - man I want Broken Sword for my DS!), which is coolio, cause they use more traditional means of animating things, which I'm scared is going to become even more of a rarity in years to come because of this bloody 3D business - although I went to go see Ice Age 3 t'other day, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it; but this may be because Simon Pegg voiced one of the characters in it, and that just makes my fan-girly heart sing!
Anyway, the point of this post is to basically say I'm freakin' terrified. We shall see how it goes. I've never done a phone interview before so at least it will be interesting (and potentially very embarassing, oh well).

I've purchased a graphics tablet for myself also, as I've been relying upon my sisters for far too long. I tell ya, those graphics tablets are no cheap thing. Woo mama. (Which is why I had to just STOP myself from buying Professor Layton yesterday...I think I just like going into these shops to test out my endurance. I honestly stood there, with the game in my hand for about a minute, mulling it over. But one day I shall own that game. One day.)

I'm going to London this Thursday to visit my friend Sarah, and to hopefully see the amazing and stupendous Adam Buxton. Oooh. How exciting. And scary! I've never been to Lon-DON before. Ooooh.

So basically this is a week of trying new things, it would seem...

He flies through the air with greatest of ease!

WoooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!
...
Woo!

Yeah. I basically did that exciting little entrance cause nothing much else exciting has happened since last I came on here...
Lets see, what have I done??

>Gone the Job Centre - and it was awful, just AWFUL I tells ya,...ok, it wasn't that bad, I like using the printy machine things cause it makes me feel like I've actually done some work when really all I've done is poke a screen for 10 minutes but oh well...
>APPLIED for some jobs - which at the moment I'm on a high over, cause like 'wOAH, I'm actually doing something!', but this may wear off quickly....
>Got pooed on by a bird....thats putting it lightly, it was more like a SKY ATTACK OF FREAKIN' GIGANTIC AND SLOPPY AND 'OHMYGOD ITS SALTY' proportions......IT WENT IN MY EYE!.....MY EYE! Oh the agony! It wasn't cool.

And seriously...they're the only sort of practical, active things I've done....Oh yeah, and I've been clearing out the loft, which is like a sauna in this weather, but now nearly everything is boxed...which is good...But now the only bin bags left to convert are ones in the far corners of the loft were I'm convinced all the scary insects are lying in wait for me...so I'm saving them for another day.

And zat is zat.
(Psst, I'm also considering buying some web space to make my own website on...but yeah, we shall see!)


And I almost forgot, an amazing video to round the post off with!
