where the days go: five quick pauses

[habiliments]

1. Job hunting is depressing. There are, maybe, two or three jobs a week that it makes sense for me to apply for. I feel like I need to be doing something else on this front, and I don't know what it is. But today was lost to sleeping in and laundry and whatnot, and tomorrow is going to be send-resumes-so-I-feel-good-about-my-weekend day

Oh man that video sure is something. It's a great find. It also makes me want to punch something, and gives me mixed feelings about the featured media—most of which I don't watch, but have a general knowledge of, as one does. On one hand it's easy to feel vindicated, a hah! I knew I avoided it for a reason! sort of thing, but on the other hand: the show could be a probably is quite good in many other ways, because this sort of trite and shallow storytelling is also practiced and proven and everywhere, in otherwise-good stories and otherwise-bad ones; and it'd be a flat out lie to pretend the media I do consume doesn't do this same damn thing, even if it didn't end up on this particular list.

Yes and yes and yes. I watch a lot of the shows in the video - excepting Supernatural - and I love them and still think JESUS DID SHE HAVE TO DIE AGAIN? far too often. (Also women getting captured/needing rescuing, which I'm horribly tired of thanks to all mainstream superhero movies ever.)

They're cracky, cracky books, or at least the first one was - I don't think Martin is as great a writer as he is a storyteller, and there are SO SO SO many instances where a comma should've been a period or a semicolon (often in dialogue, so sort of forgivable, but I still found it really distracting), but I still didn't want to put the damn thing down. On the show I like the other women as much as Dany, but her parts in the book have a darkness that I really like.

Ok so,. I don't blog. I just read my last blog and realised i can be reasonably articulate when the mood strikes me. MY last blog was a Long Time Ago.
I feel a connection with you and admire the strength you have despite hardships. I hope soon you find that elusive job thats meant for you. I have a dead end job at the moment, and am struggling hard to move on from it.

I just wanted to let you know that i think you have many qualities, and someone half way round the world wishes you well, and is glad that the little things can make you happy where it counts. x

I've been meaning to say thank you for this post. It was really lovely and unexpected. I don't feel I've had much by way of hardships, apart from those I created, honestly! :) Jobs are always the sore spot - the hunt feels endless, but I know something with click. I hope you get to move on from yours soon, too. xoxo

I still haven't picked up the books, but maybe I will this fall. I've been following ontd's GoT posts and so I'm up to date on the show even if I can't bring myself to watch it. I'm hoping the books will help?

Ugh, jobs. Ryan just got turned down again. I hate this ride. I want off.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR MOLLY!

WTF I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ONTD GoT POSTS!

I kid, I kid. I mean, I MIGHT lose a chunk of my afternoon to the damn things, but ... also the first one I read had this incredibly hot photo of Iain Glenn and now I just feel filthy. Jorah = NOT sexy. (Also I just read this interview that had a theory about Jon Snow's parentage that I now feel like a TOTAL moron for not even considering. Duhhhhh, self.)

ANYWAY, I should be applying for jobs, or at least a job, not reading about GoT, because if I get a job, I will make money, and then maybe someday I can come visit you. :)

My couch is always, always open. It's the least I could do after opening the portal to time-suckage at ontd. Also, you are pretty.
