...And there it goes again...
Tomorrow I start work testing barley for Baird's Malt. I must say I'm somewhat apprehensive about this, mosly due to the fact that I may be working with insular teuchtars who are irrationally resentful of the new student twat. Of course, this fear may well be completely unfounded, but if worst comes to worst, at least there will be 6 others at least a little like myself.
Of course, since the rains have only just started just now, there's a very good chance there will be bugger all for me to do, which makes for some great paid slacking. Sorry, I mean diligent working. Ahem.
Anywho, it's work and it gives me money so I can't complain. Otherther than I dislike the acrid smell of barley. Perhaps this wasn't such a good idea....
I've seen two films in the past few weeks: Whale Rider and Buffalo Soldiers. Boths are top class slices of celluloid, with my personal preference going towards Whale Rider due to it's itimate and touching performances and even more beautiful cinematography that continues the New Zealand tourist boards projection room wet dream, kick-started by the (bloody) lord of the rings. Anyway, the film is beautiful, and give a brilliant insigt into Mauri society. It's not that different from what Scottish society could have been, had it not been for cultural cleansing.
Also seen some VERY good animes recently, but I can't tell you where to get them yet due to thier "sensitive" nature (read: Pirate). Still, when "Wolf's Rain", "Stand Alone Complex" and "Lain" are available to you, snap them up. They're brill. Not Turbot.
Right, early nights are needed, so I'll be off soon. The full update on the workplace will be posted the very instant a moment occurs when I am next at the computer and can be bothered. Bye for noo.
