I Heart Wil Anderson

The last day of the working week and not too many plans. This, i am OK with. So i had arranged with the parentals the day before to Skype them as my grandma and uncle would be over for dinner so i could amaze a little old lady with today's technology. It was really good to hear from everyone back home and video Skyping does feel like you are just in the room with them. I chatted for about an hour and then bid farewell. I spent the day doing odd jobs and cleaning the flat. I do most the cleaning, mainly because i like it clean to my standards. I might start to get annoyed by this once i start working but right now it keeps me busy and i dont mind.

I hung around the flat for the rest of the day. I was fearing that i might get called up to work at the souvenir shop as i hadn't yet decided what i am going to do about it. I was also awaiting the outcome of the temp role i interviewed for at the airport. Once i start to get into cross stitching, the time does go quickly. It had got to mid afternoon and after some streaming of Merrick and Rosso i checked my email. Ahh awesome, another rejection email. I love getting these, it makes me just so happy. So i didn't get the job as another candidate had more hospitality experience. I guess i really cant argue with that. She asked if she could keep my details on file for the future, i said yes, but i dont expect to hear back. I kinda thought i didn't get it but it is still disappointing. I just remind myself there could be a lot more worse things to deal with than looking for a job. At least i have my health, ha! Speaking of health, i do seem to have lost 2-3kg's so i guess that is something. I'm calling it the Unemployed Diet.

I had a ticket to see Wil Anderson tonight which i was excited about. I was always a bit curious what he would be like live doing stand up and not just on one of his shows. A bargain at 7 pounds. It was at Udderbelly again and luckily it was a great night. I got myself dolled up and headed over there. As i waiting for his show with a beer in hand Wil walked past me in the bar. He's such a spunk. I also got to talking to a girl who was there my herself. She is an Aussie who is here to perform at the tattoo for the Aussies but injured herself. We hung out and just talked about all things travel, which you do when you live O.S and then we went in the watched Wil.

Wil was really funny. It was great to listen to some Aussie humour. You can tell he's quite smart and up with current affairs. My favourite bit was when he talked about the differences between Wife Swap USA and Wife Swap UK. He's right in saying that the UK version is way more mellow. He said it's like swapping a middle class family with a upper middle class family, and the USA one is like swapping a black family with a KKK family. I guess you had to be there, but he was very funny. After the show i walked to the Royal Mile with Jenny, the girl i met earlier and we watched the tattoo's performers walk down from the castle back to their housing. Apparantly it's the thing to do as there was about 150 people waiting there. After that i called it a night. A good night too.

On Saturday i really did not do much. The third flat mate finally turned up to the flat. She hadn't been home since i moved in. She seems nice and i'm told she's moving out so i wont bother getting to know here. I just watched a lot of TV till i was sick of it. They play a lot of re runs of Friends so thats cool. Could be worse. It could be like Taggart or frickin' New Tricks or whatever it is... Speaking of TV i'm slowly coming around to the BBC. I watched a great show on Lord Byron, one crazy dude, and another on Penicillon, and they were both great. Yeah, nerd alert.
