Happy Happy Joy Joy

Well I'm still editing my first episode of Comic Racks..and I now know what a 'Stacey pause', an an 'Iz sniff', and a *drinking* noise look like in Audacity..one thing I haven't worked out is how to turn my bellowing down when I get excited. Which is quite a lot. Hmm.

Today is pretty cool so far, I have a half day (which is always lush), and I'm sat in my house editing in my Yeti slippers, waiting for the carpet-measuring man to arrive. Rock n roll.

It's a pretty big achievement for me cuz it's taken me and Rich 2 years to get off our arses and buy real carpet for our house to replace the 'temporary' strips that we've had dotted about since we moved in.

Woot!!

Woot!!

I just started editing a Comic racks episode and I'm loving it :D I'm a bit of a control freak at the best of times so being able to cut all my Umms, Urrs, *sniffs* and general twatishness out is awesome. I'm making myself leave some stuff in tho if it's vaguely funny.

Stace (my co- Rack) is always funny and needs very little editing I think, but it'll be intriguing to see what she cuts out when she has a go...

So editing is my new obsession.....put that together with a box of hidden M&S chocolate twizzle sticks from Xmas that I found hidden at the back of the cupboard, and I'm quite a happy monkey this evening :D

Things I hate today

My husband having a day off and me being stuck in work

Feeling like a podgy f*cker

Being so addicted to the Wii I stayed up til 2am playing the damn thing - now I look and feel like a panda in a fist fight

No job vacancies

Toothache and dentists waiting lists


Wow...i'm in a BAD mood

Things I love today

Real Coffee (I had 2 huge mugs already)

Maltesers (I have half a box at home waiting for me)

The Adam and Joe radio show - BBC Radio 6 (it keeps me sane in work)

Sushi (mmmmm)

Sims Castaway - Wii (I played it 4 hours straught last night and had to be dragged off it)

Q!PAW podcast (hamsters in costume fighting to the death)

Co-codomol (mmmmmm no more tooth ache)

Godsmack

Funny name for a band - Godsmack..

I just saw them on Launch.co.uk and they are REALLYANGRYSHOUTYFURIOUS kinda music. With the name Godsmack I just imagine someone with a rolled up newspaper smacking God on the nose..."BAD God BAD". S'all.

Shallow - moi??

Crap. The bird just told me there is a film due out with both Hugh Jackman AND Ewan McGregor in.....which frankly made me squeek and run off to IMDB to look up the details...it turns out my other half was right..BUT then I scrolled down to see:
Plot Keywords:Nun / Nun's Habit / Mother Superior

wtf?? the film is about one guy who introduces another guy to a sex club and then murder and intrigue ensue (from what I can translate from IMDB) and the keywords involve nuns!!

My forum and work buddies already know that i have a HUGE irrational fear of nuns - so this *should* be a film I avoid like the plague...and frankly if the plot involves a sex club, I *really* hate to think how nuns are involved....but if Hugh Jackman is in it, I'm kinda obligated to go - yeah, I am that shallow :D But I may need therapy for a while afterwards :/

I'm an idiot :(

So I like half my job and hate the other half (and I have the complaint everyone else has that I have way too much to do and not enough time to do it in) - I'm trying really hard to find a new job, but jobs seem few and far between at the moment :(

I found a pretty cool job at Cardiff University and the deadline was 6th March - all cool, I filled in all the easy stuff and cut and pasted in my qualifications etc etc, I settled down to complete the person specification part that always takes me *hours* and I was half way through when I thought, oh I'll just look over the whole job description once more.....the deadline was 5pm, and I was reading this at 9pm.

B*llocks and a*se, I was assuming that Cardiff University would have the same cut-off points as Glamorgan University (which is 12 midnight).

Lesson learnt :(
