Get two ps2s and stack one on top of the other, it'll still be cheaper than a ps4 and will have better games.

May have landed a job/internship to do some tv style video work. Did a few informal interviews, and they had me go and shoot some footage and edit it into a short piece. They've basically told me I have the position, but it has to go through an official application process which will take about 2 weeks.

Delighted, but cautious as I still haven't been able to sign an actual contract (back in 2001, i had a government job informally offered to me, and foot and mouth broke out before i could sign a contract, and all government hire that required travel was put on hold for a year, so my job never happened).

So fingers crossed. First proper job in the film/tv business hopefully. Should be able to learn a huge amount, and make great contacts. And all because I was nice to a person who in turn recommended me to this organisation. Good karma.

Upgraded from a 32in TV to a 49in today ...

Admit it, your life is better now.

Fuck yes! Next purchase will be one of the 2 new consoles but my 360 and PS3 are awesome on this new screen.

ps4, do it

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Awesome comic strip but a little too long for the pictures thread:
http://www.therobinh...m/gender-roles/

is that douche in the comic supposed to represent all males or something? because I don't follow his thinking, and I'd hazard a guess most of us here don't...

Nah, he's not representative of "all" anyone. He's representative of a mindset that demands gender binaries, which is common enough.

Had a really great day today. It was my day off and my girlfriend came over after a shitty day at work to blow off steam so we chilled and chatted for hours and then went shopping and finished off with Lebanese Wraps and Ice cream coffee. Feeling pleasantly fuzzy right now Posted Image

Found a Paul Smith travel suit, original label still attached, trousers not yet tailored, for a quarter of the price in a New York vintage store. Fits like it's made for me.

Spoke to a few people I've worked with jointly on projects and had some good soundings. In terms of both job prospects and work environment. A couple of the best prospects will mean jumping ship to working for the contractor, but given it would still be in a design role I can live with that.

On a related note, I have been looking into registration requirements in other Washington Accord countries. New Zealand is probably out due to the seismic design requirements (they seem to require having done seismic design in New Zealand, not just be experienced with seismic design), but registration in Australia or the UK would be pretty straight forward. The US would be as well, but from my understanding the prospects there are pretty low.

It's going to take another week or two to turn the local offers into something in writing, and make the decision whether I want to stay here or try going abroad. But at this point things are looking very promising.

I have done the maths and decided to ditch one of my jobs. My mom is going to fume. See if I care.

Also, there's little difference between not finishing uni because I have no time to work on my final project or having no money to pay for having it printed. Except there is, because a mostly finished project I can throw up on Kickstarter or Indiegogo and see if I can get it financed this way AND test the waters at the same time, while a halfway done and half-assed project will bring me nothing at all. So, when my shitty boss comes back from his holiday (which he fucked off on without bothering to wonder if I might not have the time to sit around in the shop all day, never mind managing everything here, especially for the Money he's paying me) he will have to either agree to cut my working hours to less than half of now, OR do his fucking Job on his own ^_^

Now, THIS has just raised my mood
