On the flier is a full-color picture of him... out, standing in a field. He hands me his card, which is a baseball card. His phone number is "Richard". For fuck's sake, his name and phone number are both "Richard"!

What a dick.

After a few days of nail-biting and anxiety my drug test clears, and the promotion that I've been offered after only two months of employment is official.

Amazon.fr has all my account information from Amazon.com.

This is very dangerous as I have had a hard time finding good and/or fun contemporary fiction in French.

I'm sorry, Mastercard.

You could do worse than to start with this.

I'm so sorry, bumble.

Someone on the El put a bag next to her so it was taking up a portion of my seat. I sulked all the way to work. I really wanted to say 'Nice Bag' when I left the train, but I refrained, realizing the futility of it all.

[hanging head in shame] Yes.

Seriously, two more days on there and Mastercard'll be fixin' to up and hunt me down like a dog.

Fuck off, The Euro! [excitedly jumping up and down and making obscene gestures East] You don't like my American dollar? Fahg you!

Whimpers, trudges back, considers selling kidney.

The most interesting thing I've done in days is to listen to this import CD by The Ex, playing with an orchestra. It's called Ex Orkest 'Een Rondje Holland.' The orchestra is well-used, in interesting ways. A lot of the time that sort of thing seems to fail.

after a long frustrating week of mishearings and hating the world of education i finally got a sensible answer from some guy at edexcel saying i would only have to pay 30quid for all of my results, not per subject as some shrimp had told me.

i just called up admissions at the faculty to see if i could work them and still be considered even if my certificate was nowlikely to arrive later than the day of enrollment. i spoke to an awesome tutor who asked me to tell her my results OVER THE PHONE. i did and she said she'd arrange an interview for me.

WTF? is that all?!! no, really, they still need my certs which they will get now but about 10 mins after speaking to this tutor, i got a call and now my interview is next wednesday!!!! hooorahhh!!!!

i can't wait to stuff this job!!! whooop!!!
i'm celebrating in brighton next weekend if anyone's around!!! i'm so happy.
