Rain!

What a day!! Man this rain is great. I love the smell of it!

I've printed out five CV's now and they're going in the post in a minute. They came out nice. A covering letter, two page CV and a brief sample of my final year project. All printed on some lovely paper I picked up in Hobby Craft (probably the worst store in the world, it has the potential to be great but the lack of signage drove me close to physical violence!). I may be sad but there are few greater pleasures to me than choosing a pen from a selection of close to a hundred. Pretty embarrassing, maybe my dad was right and I'm more of a technician than an artist. Oh well!

Considering the day started off well with a stack of pre-packed CV's just waiting to go off in the post it's been rather depressing. It's not the weather, oh no i love the rain! Its the lack of response from two jobs I was supposed to hear from today. Both promising, both non-architectural unsurprisingly. Perhaps I'm taking the press too seriously! What the hell do I know about the economy? I'll try not to pass much more judgement till I've sent off at least ten CV's.

Just watched the film Belle Du Jour. Engrossing film but a bit of a metaphor fuck when it comes to the story. The end had me scrambled. This is what I do with my time you see. Try and educate myself in things, often things that don't need education necessarily, like films, music and not too long ago Special Brew. You know the stuff tramps drink. Well I had to stop that one dead because it would have gotten out of control pretty quickly. I've also been listening to King Crimson!! Insanely good band which deserve more "Hall of Fame" stardom than they get. Who knows maybe Beefheart is next.....well maybe in a few more years.....that one's going to take a few listens I predict!

Still, I'm gradually working my way through an old edition of BD, probably where all the doomsday paranoia is coming from. Fun though!
