magictreehouseDue to typing up the Iceland stuff I forgot to mention that before the holiday I went for that job interview at Keighley library. It was a fairly relaxed interview and I thought that I answered the questions ok. I didn't get it though. I can only think that I lacked the experience really. I've kind of resigned myself to not getting out of my current job before I graduate in September though. Although I'd still like to get out before then. We'll see. It's a shame really as the job would be so interesting. My time will come though, it just has to.
In other news, we've finally been contacted about viewing a flat in Leeds so we'll have a look at one tomorrow. It doesn't mean we're moving by any stretch of the imagination but it'll be worth having a nosey around. We just need to do the sums to find out if it actually will be cheaper to move to Leeds, it's not a cheap place. However, I'm really resenting the daily commute at the moment and I'm so sick of giving the train companies so much of my hard earned cash. We'll see though.
I've seen a few film over the past few weeks. Firstly we watched 'Ruthless People'. I love a good 80s flick and it was quite funny overall. It was probably most notable for having Bette Middler threatening people with an electric whisk. Then there was 'Brothers of the Head' which I was entirely sure about. It was a 'fake' documentary but it wasn't overally funny. it was quite seriously done but I wasn't entirely sure of the point of it. It did have its moments. And then on Saturday we finally went to see 'Slumdog Millionaire' which I really enjoyed. However, whoever thought it was a good idea to market it as a 'feel-good' film either totally missed the point or just didn't watch it beforehand as I did not feel good afterwards. I think the only things wrong with it were what Lucy had said to me actually. While Dev Patel did have his moments, there was a bit too much of him looking gormless. I can understand why the character was often quite stunned but a bit more expression wouldn't have gone amiss. The other thing was that the whole Millionaire questions reflecting his life chronologically . Mind you, the Millionaire bit wasn't really the point so I could forgive it that. It did feel a little overlong though. The editing and the general filimg was especially good and overall I really liked it.
That's about it for now I think. We're off for quiz tonight. Hoorah!
