no money, no job, no problem.... problem

SKINT. it sucks, we have all been there one time or another, unless you are jane. Jane is never skint. i think. Anyway, janes ineffable cashflow aside, I must find a job. The only problem is, is that i have (just about) secured some unpaid work experience in biological research.. assisting the research in the lab and the field, which has far more long term value when it comes to the cv than a job in a shitty call centre or working for debenhams holding a sign up the street saying "70% off all stuff, thataway! ---->"...and that's the problem, it's UNPAID so that means that i need to earn elsewhere with what time i have left.... I'm honestly at a wits end of what to do.. nowhere wants a guy who just needs sporadic work here and there so he can eat. If anyone out there is reading this then please suggest to me something. That said, i must remain positive. Labour Ready (i would link you but it's really not worth it, honestly) may just pull through for me, but we will see. they offer daily work, call in the morning and hope for vacancies type of thing. and to quote Norman Vincent Peale

"Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that..."

And that, my friends, is exactly the way i shall confront this situation. Even if i have to sell a finger on ebay... or a little toe, a little less valuable, but nonetheless a potential revenue.

In other news i have watch three films recently, all very good in their own right.. here is a short break down:

VERY GOOD VIEWING FOR THE MOST PART

here is a slightly more comprehensive breakdown:

The Kite Runner - very good, tugs on the heart strings but leaves lots out from the book. Lara and Alex cried at least twice. comfortable 8/10
Smokin' Aces - Balls to the wall action. I liked it, not a bad story too.. easy 7/10
Half-Nelson - Very good indeed. a thinker. comes highly recommended. a solid 8/10

Better? I thought so, never judge me again.

FINALLY, a cooking tip. if you want to make a decent curry but the sauce is from a jar, then use a reputable brand and then add a jar of value curry sauce (Tesco Value, Sainbury's Basics etc.) if you need extra.. we used Sharwoods and Morrisons super ultra cheap stuff.. very nice indeed. tried and tested. good old morro's value, is there anything they cant do?

KAY, im off, i have a beer on the go and a guitar that's crying out for a play.
