I'm writing my dissertation on war photography. I came across these little gems a few months ago. This is war propaganda at its best!!! Ruthless.

I'm trying to write my CV but its not going well. grrr. I'm too easily distracted it seems. On my CV it says 'excellent concentration skills' though. eep.

I'll just send potential employers this

<-

My desperation translates quite well.....

Getting a graduate job should be easier man! What kind of CV do these people want?! tell me and I'll make it happen. pleeeasseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Frothy tales

A little glimpse inside 'Frothy tales'
I sometimes work in a coffee shop inside a book store and on the counter we have this book on sale called 'Frothy tales' and I can't help thinking what the hell are these people doing buying 'Frothy tales' from a coffee shop when they are in a book shop!?

A little snippet from 'Frothy tales' - "Dennis was disappointed not to find the face of the Virgin Mary inside the potato" begins one chapter.

"the man with foam on his nose" -it continues "The best thing about Gerard was his nose. Noses come in all shapes and sizes. Gerards's one was pointy. It got sniffles and colds like yours and mine....."

"Brian looked down at his body and discovered that he was covered in pieces of ham..."

Actually this book is quite hilarious. go buy it!

My name is Samantha Chloe and I am a Shopaholic!


I just watched Confessions of a Shopaholic and it well and truly depressed me. That woman is me. I'm so materialistic is upsets me. I want to do an internship in New York and you know what the only thing putting me off the idea is?!! I will be POOR. Pathetic but true. What will I do in New York when I can't get new stuff!? Where will my happiness come from!? What a movie to make in such financial disarray; like I needed reminding of my own financial incompetence.
The woman in the movie is in something like $16,000 debt- I am in way more debt than that thanks to University(and topshop- those scumbags. I went in the other day. It was a bad idea. hate that place.). She gets out of debt by selling everything, but i have nothing to sell so I'm doomed =[


urgh. When I was younger I adored the smell of a new barbie doll. hmm that fresh mattel plastic.......I went insane over it. I needed at least one new barbie a week and I would save all my pocket money and go to Kmart/ToysRUs and stare into the isle of pink.If I didn't get my doll I would be heartbroken, not just bratlike I want I want I want, I would get severely upset. It was shocking. (I always got my doll =] my parents moved me to Idaho it was the least they could do, I once made them buy me an actual cash register, not a pretend one, a actual cash register. I was convinced I needed it to be happy)ah good times. my parents should have stopped me damnit! I have a serious a buying problem now, no longer with barbies(though I'm sure if one took my fancy now I'd buy it just for the heck of it- too look at and too smell.... =] weird yes. )but with anything! I'm the worst person to buy a gift for because If I want something I will simply buy it myself. I will not wait. This is why I work over 40 hours a week whilst studying my 3rd year at Uni! I need the money too buy crap---and then I don't have time to do my Uni work (but I have new stuff ;p)and I get marked down for stupid things like not recording all my research, which is the simplest and easiest task! and I'm gonna get a crap mark. I think I'll sue mattel for ruining my life. balls to it all.

Welcome Welcome Bloggers. How are ya?

Smoking is on my mind. To quote Gwyneth 'Chris Martin' Paltrow in this months British Elle, "It's such a beautiful thing. I'm so pissed off it gives you cancer"

Yeah me too Gwyn. Me too. It makes you look so damn cool too- except when you start to age and get that smokers sag from too much sucking haha, thats enough to put me off. doesn't seem to work the same for men- look at Johnny Depp and then compare him to Kate Moss and you'll see what I mean...
