I am now (inofficially) employed. (Contract will be in the post this week) !!!

Here's the inside scoop:

I had a look around one of my job-search websites and found this nice sounding job ad so I sent my CV. Soon after that a nice lady called me to invite me to her agency so that I could register. I went the next day and she said she'll send my CV to the company and hopefully that would lead to an interview. The next day she called me to say they wanna meet me. I went there today at 12pm and had to wait quite a while but that was ok. The company is based in Wimbledon and my job is called: Purchasing Support Assistant.

The interview went quite alright, the first part was a one-to-one with a German girl (I guess she was my age or bby's age or somewhere in-between) and the second part was her and two guys, Managers. We got along quite well and I left at about 1:30pm.

I then went to pick up some stuff at Sainsbury's across the road (muhahaha) and went home. And I called the nice lady from the agency to tell her how the whole thing went.

At about 3:40pm I got a call from the nice lady from the agency telling me that they offer me the job. They really want me. YES!

I'll start on 04.06.07

Bank Holiday May

Nev — 2007-05-07T21:05:00Z

Hello. This is what we did today:

Woke up quite late. Went to the Covent Garden Gym at about 12:30pm. Had Lunch at Wagamama...hmmmmmm. Went to Waterstone's and then had a coffee/hot chocolate at Costa. Then we went home. Nice. :D

Yesterday, my bby and I went to meet his mate + girlfriend. We met at the Southbank...somewhere along the river for Lunch...and ended up at Zizzi at Butlers Wharf. We had white wine and nice pasta and dessert..yummay. Then we parted andthe two of us took a bus to Holborn Circus cos bby wanted to go to Camera World. But we ended up being tired and all that and went home. Looong walk.

On Saturday, we went to Costa, walked around the shops a bit and then went shopping. After being home for about an hour or so, bby and I went out at 5:4pm with our cameras...then we met Mike for Dinner at Wagamama and then continued our Photo Tour....until about 12:30am.... (see Flickr for a few pics)

Nice weekend.

My mum just told me that she'll be in London from 17 may until 19 May with a friend. Nice. :)

Fairness?

Nev — 2007-04-27T21:21:00Z

When someone tells you they bought their fantastic technic tool just for themselves, because they wanted something for themselves and nobody is allowed to touch it apart from themselves...

...and then goes and lets their brother play around with it!?

When someone says they're interested in what you have to say or what you show them (online for example) but when you actually say somehing or show something to them just says 'Hm' and walks away...

...but has hour-long conversations with their brother about everything and nothing?????!

I dunno what to do?! :'(

A Review

Nev — 2007-04-25T12:19:00Z

Accompanying Mike, we went to see 'Explosions In The Sky'from Austin, Texas who were supportet by 'Gravenhurst' at the London Astoria on 19 April 2007.

Before that we had dinner at 'Miso's' HOT!!! but yummay.

Entrance was at 6:30pm and we arrived at about 8pm or so. The ladies had a special 'line' at the doors (you know, where they search your bags etc) "Bodysearch Darling!!!!" Ow. O_o

We went upstairs to have a better view and better air and oh...more space. The stage was set but nothing happened. It felt like ages before finally a guy came on-stage who started fiddleing with the e-guitar. I was annoyed cos I thought it was the technician guy who was testing the instruments and sounds etc. but nooooo it was 'Gravenhurst'! Ahhhhh! 3 guys who looked like college geeks or the roadies...you choose.

The songs were alright, singing was lame and the show itself wasn't very exciting, but the drummer was mad! I couldn't stop watching him! Awesome!

Then they finished, took their instruments with them and after a few minutes 4 other guys came onstage. It was 'EITS' and yeah...they set up their own stuff with a little help from the roadies (or whoever those people were). Then they started.

Well, what can I say:

Music Quality: Excellent
Sound: Excellent
Show: Non-existent
Special Effect: Great
Singing: Non-existent
Excitement Factor: 0-1

It was good music but it was unfortunately boring to watch. I dunno, I'm a visual-type and I need to see things so when I'm staring at 4 guys playing their instruments then that's exciting for about 1 or 2 songs. Btw...it was one long song. No real breaks in between (which isn't bad but when everything sounds alike then you sort of lose track)
The last song was the best one. It also featured the special effect. You can say:

Nomen est Omen

The Marshall Amp "exploded".
(Pop up..it's the top part of the amp) It made some interesting sounds and then started to emit smoke.. A funny change. Looks like that's it said the guy who had caused it. Ah.

That wasn't the only problem though. The bassist lost his cable 3 times and whilst dealing with that he lost his bass due to a belt failure. Aww.

Hm..so I guess the whole thing was interesting to see and hear but I prefer this type of music on my Mp3 player or Stereo or so...in the car, in bed or in the bath..somewhere where I can relax to it and where my mind can drift away..

Sigur Rós btw play similar gigs BUT with the big difference of providing visual "feedback". And singing..

There you go

Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.

Set The Fire To The Third Bar
Snow Patrol feat. Martha Wainwright

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from here to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

And miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

The Weekend

Nev — 2007-04-02T10:33:00Z

In one of my last contributions to this blog I told you about bby being totally absorbed into "mountains" and stuff. Well, last sunday he dragged us out to Kemsing in Kent for a walk...

He spent hooooouuuurs on the saturday before to find a good walk and to plan it all out and all that and it was really getting on my nerves, especially when he was talking over my film again <_<

Anyway...so we left Central London at about 9am, arrived in Kemsing at about 10:45am and started walking at about 11am...

We walked over fields, farmland, along roads, up hills, through forrests and down hills...

We watched jeeps and 4x4s driving through mud in a little forrest and walked past horses on an open field (only two but HEY..never done that before!) and in the end we went to one of the two pubs (The Bell) for lunch. The boys had Sunday Roast Lamb and I had Lemon sole with new potatoes and vegs. Yummay.

We took loads of photos which I will "make public" as soon as possible..

oh wait..there's one photo I can show you now:

Yeah baby!

That's me wearing my scarf as a turban. The wind was cold and it was more a storm than a wind so I decided to wrap the scarf around my head and to check that I don't look like a complete idiot I took that picture :p

On the way back we stopped in Otford to have a look at the universe. (<- clicky) Interesting but not mindblowing... besides, the wind that day was soooooooooooooooooooo cold. *brrrrr*

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As you can see on the right that's a Delorean! We saw it while walking from Costa towards HMV about a week ago...

Of course we didn't stop to look at it like other people did but that was just because bby felt "weird" and said it was "wrong" to stop cos that would look sad or something along those lines.. *sigh*... <_< That's also the reason why this pic isn't that great (apart from the shitty quality of course ;) ) cos I had to take it while walking past... pah!

That was also the weekend when we made Tapas...yummay..we're so making that again soon... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Anyway...that's it for the moment...read ya later!
