AKA the blog sponsored by Bushmills, woot.
la la la, i have a blog! and nothing to write about! La!
okay, hi, mah name is Rakie, this is my blog, i am a writer, i write stupid horror novels and am constantly amazed when anyone reads them. At the moment my life's all up in the air because i'm leaving that-place-where-i-spend-my-nine-to-five-hours (name ommited for incredibly paranoid reasons) in three weeks time and i don't have anything else lined up. I also smell of beer right now but it's not my fault, honest.
wooo, HONK FOR BLOGS! *honk honk*

Is the job really that bad? Mind you, I did the same thing myself three years ago, to escape from Tesco/Exel. Things work out in the end, jobs do come up - hope you've stashed a bit of money away, though. Good luck!

Things work out in the end, jobs do come up - hope you've stashed a bit of money away, though. Good luck! not the job itself, that's always been great (and fairly well paid too), it's just one of the people involved. I've tried to resolve it in other ways but the basic upshot is i've not got a lot of choice in the matter anymore. Sigh. thanks for the good wishes, glad you were able to escape as well!! ;D

today i have flu. A special type of flu, worse than bird- or swine-flu: Tent-Flu. Caused by working for two weeks in a beer tent, selling beer in plastic cups to german bikers. Everyone who works there catches it, there's no way to avoid it. so, bleurgh, i feel like crap right now and would rather be at home (altho, if i was at home i'd have to be sorting out that movie footage i've been promising our editor for the past two months... gah). But TT Week was awesome fun and even tho i'm knackered i enjoyed it a lot. Here are some things i've realised this week: 1. "A cigarette" is no longer an item but a measure of time. When you tell someone to go for a cigarette break you're telling them to take five or six minutes break. This is increasingly true since hardly any bugger seems to smoke anymore. 2. Speaking of smoking, it is very hard to convince someone that a beer tent is a no smoking area, especially when their first language isn't english. I know, i KNOW we're already outside, i know we're in a tent in a car park, i didn't make the rules, you still have to go outside the tent to smoke. Defense de fume, capish? 3. I have fewer drug-related stories than i thought. Really, there's no way i can compare when my friends start swapping tales of ketamine benders. aaand now it's time for moar lemsip.

mah feet hurt. On saturday we took part in the Parish Walk ( www.parishwalk.com ), and completed a grand total of 21 miles before getting beaten by an absolute bastard of a hill. Still, we got further than last year, and in a better time too, so that's some compensation for achey feet. Today Rakie Recommends: www.pvponline.com

Dear Earl from 'My Name is Earl',
all you're doing is offsetting your karmic footprint, like those dumb celebrities who think it's okay to polute the world with their private jets so long as they plant a few trees afterwards. If you want to make things better, STOP DOING ADDITIONAL BAD THINGS. Ask permission rather than begging forgiveness.
love from Rakie
PS. i appreciate that you may have tackled this thought in later episodes, but i've not got a TV so i've only seen half of the first series.

before the bad jokes start, i'm just like to say that Michael Jackson was nothing if not interesting. He was a cultural icon and gave us a smile every other week when he did something nutzoid in public, and for those of us who grew up in the 80s, he was part of our childhood, just as much as big hair and the Locomotion. In a weird way, he'll be missed by everyone, even people like me who couldn't stand the bugger. RIP Mr Jackson.
y'all may now commence with the dairylea jokes.

blargh.
stupid Real Life is all in flux at the moment... i'm going to be unemployed as of friday evening, and it's messing me up a little. My concentration's shot, my mood swings (hilariously unpredicatable at the best of times) are coming at five minute intervals, and basically i'm just crap. Hopefully in a couple of weeks this'll all be sorted out and i'll be back to whatever passes for normal...
