    I live in a village, the type with Agatha Christie murders, with one strait and broad road to work/stores. After some speeding incidents the whole thing was turned into a speed-bump extravaganza. Mopeds are now forced to use this one as well instead of the cycle path.

    Not too shabby actually, waiting to hear back if I got a new position at work or not. I completely potato'd the first five minutes of the interview but after that I think I nailed it. :D

    Nice, I especially love the phrase "potato'd the first..." I am also in the process of considering changing jobs. Luckily I have a job so it isn't urgent, but I decided it was time to see what I was worth on the "open market'. I have interest from two other firms, but now I have to see how interested they are. :D

    Ugh, I've just watched the first two episodes of the new Berserk series and they've completely butchered it. Disgusting 3D CGI combined with some absurd 2D shading that has no business being in an anime, and if you can somehow manage to get past the horrible art style, you're slapped in the face with massive story skipping (like literally entire volumes) and pointless censoring in the one anime that really shouldn't have any. What a waste of a perfect opportunity, it completely killed all of my excitement. :(

    I need your definition of couch surfing. Does that mean you are without a home for a week or watching a lot of television?

    We really must come up with a way to make Kenneth happy. He always seems so disappointed in everything.

    Because that's the proper spelling and Keneth is not using it just so that he can be annoying? :shake:

    Job is interesting but I can't talk much about it because of a privacy contract. I'm learning lots.

    Well I did not get the promotion but seeing as it would actually involve a pay cut, I'm not too unhappy. I just want this week to be over so I can go on my summer holidays - back to the middle of nowhere in Finland. Funny how i used to want nothing but to get away forever and now it's like can't wait to go back... temporarily
