Yay finaly awake. Thats what having no commitments does for ya! But I do have some pretty fun stuff to do today. I get to go paper shopping :O and also look at this insanely cheap phone that looks to good to be true!
I'll also pop in to see whether the new edition of BD is out.....aw heck i'll just subscribe. It'll do me good and its only sixty-odd pounds for 48 issues. Not bad if you ask me.
I'll take the bus to Totenham Court Road from right outside my house! The number 8 is an amazing bus. It takes you on an amazing sight seing tour including, the lloyds building, St Pauls and Centre Point. All for £1.20, Bargain!
I shall have to try and keep away from the coffee shops as this is a bad habbit I could easily get used to. I dont know what it is about the unemployd and coffee shops, but I understand my dads point of view now.
The jobs front is looking gloomy. My best bet at the moment is that I get this Architectural Tour Guide possition and can stay on the dole!
Anyway I'd better actually get something done today, no rain :(
Updates from the world of a Part 1 Architect. Recently graduated Part 1 Architect Cosmo found himself faced with an industry stuggling to stay afloat. The role of a Part 1 Architect becoming less clear by the day. Instead of wasting time he took the initiative!

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!
