the likeness is uncanny... right down to the nipples.

Oh dear god.

Too Much Info?



make sure you ask linda to watch the boy saturday night.

No, not too much info - I still can't get over that I have a doppleganger who likes flashing her breasts at Disneyland.



And all systems a go for Saturday night. Our son's away and we shall play at Kasabian!



On a side note - I'm going to go for a display artist position tomorrow afternoon. I have to dig out my portfolio and present it upon applying to be considered... Ah yes, here it is collecting dust and being neglected. But not for long! I hope I hope!



People keep your fingers crossed. ;) I would really love to have this job!!

d00d, discount liquor and groceries!

Just think, 2 Buck Chuck would probably cost us only $1.50!! X-D One of a few things I was thinking about that today while weighing the options of staying where I am (not really an option, I get a sense of impending doom), trying to rely on temp agencies to find me work (I'd have to quit my current job in order to try to get something full time/contractual) or going for this position.



I don't want to let this slide by like the last display artist position I turned down. That was so stupid of me. I have nothing to lose this time and everything to gain.



Plus I'd get to be creative on the job again. I actually got to make a sign at work today and it made me so sad because at one time I was up to my ears in working creatively for that store, and I never get to do work on that level anymore.



I'll be crossing my fingers in my sleep.

What exactly is a display artist?

It depends on where you work, I think.



In most cases, many retailers usually have what you call visual merchandisers (my current position) who are in charge of creating and maintaining visual "impact" within the store to help sell product. It can be anything to hanging posters to arranging product in an aesthetically pleasing way to attract customers which in turn, helps to sell more product.



A display artist has more of a hands-on position in the overall visual aspect of the store and is there to create an atmosphere within the retailer - and imo more a challenge creatively because it is up to the display artist to hand create a high volume of art for the store. This usually includes making signage, or making displays to feature a certain product. As opposed to a graphic artist or designer all the work is done by hand - drawn by hand, cut by hand, assembled - whatever the medium is, it's done by hand. It's something I really like to do, and I did it at Tower for a number of years before the display artist position was eradicated. Unfortunately jobs like this are hard to come by, especially without a degree - so I know I really have to play up the experience card on this one.

Im heading down to my sisters college grad. cermony on saturday.... they have this really cool record store over by her. I plan on giving it a visit while I'm there (same place i found the boxer promo single)....just wondering if anyone has any recemendations on any cool single cd's I should look for, other then the chemical brothers cause i got all of them... its pretty sweet they sell used singles for $.50 - $1.50. So any cool stuff you people could recomend would be appreciated!!! :)

thats gotta be the coolest....however comes at a steep price of $200

i got 4 different kinds of these last year...the last one i shot which was the green one. it was sooooo loud the vibrations of when it exploded made my windows make this very weird humming sound 8O it was sooo sweet :D

apparantly so...I got an email stating it...well I hope it was yesterday!



'cos then I would look quite stupid :'(

Isn't it strange what people do to themselves to have fun....? I had such a GREAT night last night , it's my last weekend here and i saw all my friends in the club , we were all fucking drunk , just a bunch of girls and guys laughing and dancing and having a great time....than i ended up in my Danish girl-friends bed , to have a one hour sleep before i managed to get myself togheter and took a cap home....it was a fun night......but i wish i didn't drink so much cause now i feel so bad! :'( I can't do anything today but just watch movies and stay in my bed...all because of fucking wodka orange and wodka pine-apple !!!



I don't know , but i am a different person here...i am not the type of girl who gets drunk every weekend and dances to fucking bad music...but it's just that well , i'm in Tokyo :-| need i say more...? Well , i think it's okay to have a period where you go crazy...als long as you never forget who you really are.



Next week i'll be back in Amsterdam and i have mixed feelings....I'm sad to leave this great place where i met so many amazing people and had such a GREAT time , but i'm happy to go back to my familie , friends and good drum and bass parties , and kind off go back to who i really am and leave it all behind me....But first i will fly wednesday to barcelona to work thursday and friday , i will have a big jetlag so it will be exhausting...!!! And than i go home friday evening ( while the Chems are playing in barca that evening...but well , you can't have all the luck!!! )



It's an insane world, but i'm proud to be part of it ;-)



Hmz sorry for my no-sense post , just had to get it off my chest.
