charloweenGood news!
1) Have booked a flight to Chicago for VIVIDCON, YEAH. Seems unlike last year's eye-bleedingly expensive fares, this year's choices were limited to mind-meltingly expensive and no really, it's just an ocean and half a continent; how many months' rent are you asking??.
1b) I start training for my next newest part-time job on Friday. I didn't lie in the interview when I said it would be interesting and good experience, but I also didn't tell the whole truth about why I wanted the job.
2) My new flatmate finds John Barrowman as creepy as I do! Yes, she's been here since February, but I've been a bit closed-in and socially-demented this term. We hadn't yet got around to these important discussions.
2b) Also, the organic grocery company who do my fruit & veg box also do meats and other groceries. Flatmate and I have asked for wild rabbit in this week's delivery so we can try Nigella Lawson's Hot Cross Bunny curry for Easter dinner. *cackles*
3) No, seriously. This:
Versus this. I refuse to embed it, it's that bad.
3b) No, seriously.

Also - one good reason to be alone: sitting in pajamas, watching The Professionals, talking to the TV and taking pause breaks to work on a lab hand out and plan a slo-pitch try out. True story.
Let me know how the Hot Cross Bunny works out! I've been looking to try rabbit ...

Date: 2012-04-03 08:56 pm (UTC)The rabbit is from some Hampshire game preserve, so I guess it's a free-range bunny? I will keep you updated!
And HA - I thought you weren't going to have anything more to do with slo-pitch. Have they suckered you in for that, too?

Date: 2012-04-04 12:40 am (UTC)Do not click the link, Alina. Don't do it. Bad things will happen. Read the warning. Don't.
What did I do? I clicked the link. *TWITCH*
But now I'm listening to Raul Esparza be magnificent again to make up for Barrowman.

Date: 2012-04-04 11:40 am (UTC)I don't see how records so calculatedly bad actually get made. Contractual obligation? Blinding bad taste? Misguided alignment with some demented idea of popular taste?
Flatmate kept waving the laptop at me as we were listening/cringing, saying, "Look! He's looking at you! LOOK AT HIM!" And I ran away. Augh, that album cover. Creepy. Not sexy. Desperate fame-whoring soullessness. Not appealing. Wait, what do I actually think? Let me tell you...
