Applying for jobs is a strange thing. Part of me feels optimistic as I sit there thinking, "That would be a great job for me." The other bit is all worried that I'm basing my life on a pipe dream.

Let's hope I'm not counting them too soon, but now I have my CV done and I'm looking at jobs to apply for, this feels better than I have for a bit.

It's been a busy few weeks. As I mentioned last time I've been arranging to get my bathroom done. I got in the same chaps who did the garden, and arranged that they would start while I was off on holiday with Gill to Devon.

Some years ago I spotted a site called experimental gameplay (the site still exists in roughly the same form thought it is now open to others http://www.experimentalgameplay.com), it was a student project from some people at the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University. They produced small prototype games in a short space of time that toyed with different types of gameplay.

Screw you, mind numbing clamp on my brain.

It's not neat, it's rough and all draft like, but I have words on paper that say I am great and vaguely resemble a CV.

Liam Neeson's almost but not quite got a good name, but don't let that put you off.

For some time I have been looking for a pet of some description, I like animals, but mainly I like cats. Cats are cool, evil and fun! I didn't think having one given my top floor flat would be practical but after one metric shit load of research, discussion and speaking to a breeder I decided to get a Maine Coon and give it a go. Here she is:

Just heard that there are going to be 22 reduncancies from 76 chemists in my department.

Better dust off/write that CV then...

The next phase in doing up the house, and probably the most expensive one, is the bathroom. Over summer I went round a couple of places, and was given quotes in the ballpark of £6,000 to refit the place (which , given that the room is 4 square metres, can be considered a lot of money).
