Rehearsing: my answers to the "Top 10 Most Likely Questions" I'll be asked at this Thursday's Japan Exchange and Teaching Program interview.

Raging: against the injustice of it all. I missed out onanother job. Again, I was a very close second. Not getting a job sucks. Not getting it by just one person doubly sucks.
Pimping: my skills everywhere I can think of. I've registered with a bunch of temp agencies. I've told just about everyone I know (and a few I don't) that I'm after...

Jobhunting is terrible. I remember how miserable it made me right out of school. Keep on pimpin'.

You use soap when you shower, don't you?
Just keep trying. Jan/Feb is always a hard time of year to find work.

Holding: on to the experience of seeing Brokeback Mountain. I loved the film, thought it was well paced and beautifully constructed. I also thought it's the best work I've ever seen Heath Ledger do (not that I've seen many of his films since his early days in Australia). But Jake Gyllenhaal's performance was definitely the highlight for me. Yes, I'm somewhat biased; I've always...

I've been meaning to mention that you look beautiful in your new profile pic.
Good luck at your interview. I'm sure you'll do fabulously.

When I'm scared, I get confused.
You've inspired me to buy some yummy food...

Holding: my breath. The manager from the organisation I interviewed with last week has been calling my referees. I likes the sounds of that. Now, as long as I pass the police check (which I will, thank you very much!), I may just get this job afterall.

Prepping: for yet another job interview. I actually very much want this one ... which makes it all the worse. It's tomorrow morning, first thing. Man, it'd be good to know what I'm going to do with the year before, say, February kicks off.

you are the very first sg-type person to notice the labret came out.

cousindell:
I take it the gay scene is pretty much the same the world over. I just feel so out of place and unwelcome in most gay venues. The one I went to this weekend was just your average gay male dominated club dotted with a few lesbians who thought they where extras in the L Word. Most the blokes are just bitchy full stop and there seems to be a lot of hostility towards women in general especially butch/dykey looking ones...great. One week there was a fight in the ladies over someone complaining cause a male looking woman was in there
oooook
Lucky there is quite a few queer mutiny D.I.Y events about, I would be a very sad panda without them, there is hope.
Hope you interview goes/went well

Reading: Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children. I've been meaning to for years and have just started. As expected, I'm loving it already.

yes indeed! and how are you feeling at the start of your weekend?

If it's any consolation, consider how bad their english is:
Housing in Canberra is probably worse than Sydney. Haven't shopped around their lately, but it's hard to imagine anything worse than this.

Breathing: a sigh of relief. My Mum had been staying for the last 10 days. Yesterday, I saw her off on her flight to NZ. I love her but 10 days of her in my house was enough. More. Than.
Loving: the new year. 2005 sucked bad. 2006 is going to be better, I can feel it.
Asking: what great loot did you rake in...

Looking forward to seeing you today/tonight, hopefully 

dogslife:
Just had an excellent 3-hour session in which we re-wrote the first and most of the second act. As the 4th act can stand as-is (and "act" is a loosely used term--the whole play coming in under an hour) we're breathing a bit easier.
Bawling: my eyes out. But in a good way - my sister is pregnant.
Planning: the Xmas menu. It's going to be a seafood Xmas, I think.
Reading: the weekend Sydney Morning Herald. My newspaper subscription ran out a month or 2 ago so I've been reading news online. I forgot how much I prefer reading the broadsheets spread out over the dining table with...

Gathering: my courage. I have to get a tetnus shot today and I'm not looking forward to it.
Waiting: to hear back on that job interview from last week and the other job application that is in the works. I actually want the latter so that's making me nervous.
