Cross Your Legs And Hope To Die:

Writing job applications is a weird experience. Writing an application for a job you're not really that interested in is strange, because as much as you need a job you kinda wish you won't get called for an interview. But writing an application for a job you'd love to get is even stranger. You try to think of ways to impress your future employer without sounding too pompous and impressed by yourself, while desperately hoping you've shown just how much you'd love this job.

I applied for a dream of a job today, so until I hear from them I'll have all the limbs on my body crossed just hoping I'll land this puppy. I know I'd be perfect for the job, not just because of my own confidence in my abilities, but also because I have experience within all the areas they had mentioned in their ad. I won't mention the job again until I hear from them, so hopefully the next you'll hear is good news.

Hopefully, this'll end months of exceptionally crummy luck. The last couple of months have sucked beyond belief to the point where my weight has dropped about 30 pounds just because I never felt like eating (or doing) anything (which is kinda a problem, because I wasn't exactly fat to begin with). But like a drunk who has hit rock bottom and has a moment of clarity I too have bottomed out and decided to get my life back together. My first priority will be to get a job most likely in Copenhagen and then try to build a new life (and eat more stuff). I'm still stuck in this student life without the perks of actually hanging out at school and meeting interesting people, so I think it's time for a change. It might take a few months, but it has to happen eventually.

But before everything falls into place there's fun to be had here in Aarhus. Tomorrow, we're going to Label Night where local record label Bird Hits Plane will present a couple of their acts (including Tiger Tunes) and have their employees spin tunes and get down. It sounds like as good a deal as anything you'll be able to russle up anywhere on a Thursday night.
Friday night it's the same thing, but with Morningside Records, which also could be pretty amazing. Hopefully, pictures and stories will follow later.

I still don't take a lot of pictures, but I did take this one today:


Der er ugler i måsen

The text says "There are owls in the ass", which is a play on the Danish saying "There are owls in the moor", which means something like "Something not quite right here". This is fairly low brow I know, but that's what you get for catching me on a day, when I'm not Johnny Downer anymore.
