Preparing to travel to Hamburg for the FKA Twigs concert.

Preparing to do absolutely nothing over the next three days. Damn it sucks being unemployed.

As I remember it, the free time's nice, it's just the pay that sucks...

When you've had as much free time as I you don't really enjoy it anymore. Trust me. It sucks. But what sucks even more is not having enough money (or any money for that matter) to do whatever you want, to be independent. It feels like being a teenager again. Completely dependent on someone else. Plus I'm constantly being told there simply aren't any jobs for profiles like mine. Wtf, it's not like I studied tantric gardening. I just feel completely redundant.

I have a PhD in tantric gardening.

I bet you have your hands full with managing your endless job opportunities.

I know those problems with unemployment very well - you have no regular structure, you depend on others, your freedom of choice is quite limited and so on... On the other hand, if I had a regular job I wouldn't be able to concentrate on my book and other projects the way I can now. Maybe you should try to find something productive to do for the interim, some project. Or look abroad for jobs - you're into travelling, aren't you?

I don't know about you, but her long silence after you suggested she "does something productive" has got me worried... worse still, she could already be abroad. somewhere close to me what have you done, d.mimøsa ?

What? Moi?! I ain't done nothin'! Nah, as far as I can tell, she's simply not too interested in all the boring people around here anymore.

If it makes you feel better, I'm working a retail job at a drug store, and I'm scheduled to work on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Being unemployed does suck though.

I'm currently procrastinating on an assignment that's due tonight.

rumour has it Tschusch finally got a job as one of santa's little helpers and will spend the next 9 days wrapping up bilbo baggins figurines and cuddly toys... she's planning to spend the money on a tantric gardening course.

Currently enjoying a double Jack Daniel's (with extra Jack Daniel's chaser) and listening to French stoner doom demos. There are plenty worse ways to spend an afternoon...

Freezing. I believe I mentioned before that the heating in this house fails at least once every winter. What can I say? I fucking hate my landlords...

Having some (late) breakfast, and relaxing before work.

Obsessively blowing my nose. That's what I've been up to over the last days.

Practise makes perfect, so they say. Are you planning to enter a competition of some sort...?

Celebrating my birthday.
If 'celebrating' is precisely the right word to describe wading through the doom-metal inbox whilst writing an album review...
I really feel the lack of a suitable 'party hat' smilie at this moment...this'll have to do

Belated best wishes!

Washing the dishes and listening to the latest E-Mantra album.

working with Atten Ash in the background...

Thanks, d. - appreciate it
