Holiday! Celebrate!

This fairy is having a well earned holiday! I didn't think I'd be getting one of those this annus horribilus!

Sometimes has good news!

It's official people.

I'm am once more pink, sparkly and fluffy. I have a job. No more free government money for me, I'm back paying my dues to support all the remaining wingless fairies out there.

Happy days indeed.

(I'm sure I'll be moaning about it in about a month or so when the shine wears off)

Bad Blogger!!

I'm a bad little blogger, aren't I?

Nothing for months, you'd think I was busy or something. Well, I'm not. And anyone who reads my blog will most probably be sick of my continual jobless whining. So readers, I do not have a lot to do.

Managed to secure another few interviews. 3 with the same place and still waiting on a yes or no. Very, very excited about this one, they've been very positive and I did my best. Time will tell.

Other news? I'm still working the lumo every day, sneaking it into the outfit one way or another, even if it's just a snazzy hairband I bought that I wear as a necklace or bracelet. Penneys is still been kept in profit by yours truly, it really just keeps getting cooler and cooler. And I went a mad eBay show buzz, recession or not. A girl's gotta have killer heels...

And Michael Jackson. Well I have to mention it, it has taken the summer news lull period by storm and it really is a baffling level of blankey (excuse the pun) covering. Sad indeed but there's so much smoke, if there's no fire, there's one hell of a smoke machine. The truth will probably never be known, and that kills my curiosity cat.

The Book of Faces

Well I resisted against it for a long time and I eventually signed up because I was trying to apply for a job with them.

So I went to the dark side - social networking.  And what a breath of fresh air it is.  Just doing little catch up with friends and acquaintances from the past and seeing how truly wonderful everyone turned out.

Look at this for example - awesome!

And if you want me there you'll find me...

Maybe it didn't make it to the Den...

Saw a teleshopping ad for a solar powered car cooling fan - to stop 'unbearable heat' building up in a parked car on a sunny day.  Truly a useless invention for a problem that didn't exist. Or worse, an encouragement to leave kids/dogs/the elderly/ice cream in the car and not worry about it again.

You'll find it easily if you google it, and you can see the wonder of modern technology at work.  Or watch the hyper-cheery sales driven feature on shopping TV, up in the 600s if you're a Sky slave like me.

I have a feeling it was invented by car thieves who fancied an easier access point than having to jimmy the lock.  Clever them.

Slime Wars

The recession appears to have led to overcrowding. In my garden. With the ground constantly damp from the tears of the many unemployed and overlevied, slugs can now freely roam the globe.

And they are freely roaming my garden and eating about a €1 of plantage a night. I come out every morning to see another sweet little lobelia stripped of its foliage and reduced to a sad little mohican of skinny stalks pointing hopelessly to heaven. Marigolds denuded to an inappropriate state, left only with a perverted veil of slime as a calling card.

Oh sure, there's always been slugs in my garden. There were root consuming moth larvae too before that that stealthily killed my new plants from the ground up 2 years ago. And an annual invasion of aphids on my rosebush that make me wish I could sell honeydew to the masses and become a millionaire.

But this year, the not so adorable, shell-less, be-antlered, slime-slitherers can fly. Or possibly they rent small private jets. Because they are getting past the inch high mound of slug pellets all around the base of the precious posies. Which they are not supposed to do.

Not only that, they are completely nocturnal. Trust me, if ever I laid eyes on one of the voracious gastropods in the light of day, they will experience the full spa treatment of an all over salt scrub that will result in Wicked Witch of the West style melting.

Any suggestions before I resort to a plastic garden?

The Big Three-Oh

Oh noes!

I be thirty in less than a week.

Not cool.
