I need a job, one that doesnt require me to hide my tattoo and remove my nail polish

the place i really reallly wanted to intern is not offering positions at the moment. its okay, the pay wasnt so good.

anyway, what do you think i would be good at?

My post have been lame. I have been lazy. I need to resolve the lack of coffee maker-ness in my house. Maybe that would help. I did drink 2 monmouth white filter coffees today. That is nearly 8 dollars of awesome deliciousness. it was worth it. i had the energy to go shopping at my favorite store, COS. German minimalism in all its glory. I have an interview with my old boss tomorrrow. Jonathan. First-I am going to ask him if I can write an article on Sarah Palin and Joe Biden. Second-I am going to ask him for the job of coordinator, which is filled, but I'm going to ask anyway. Third-I am going to as for career advice.

On the bright side of things, my friend Annina took me to this amazing Korean place. Its in the basement of a supermarket called Hanna. It looks like a simply Asian supermarket when you walk in. Neon packaging and big bags of rice. You go to the til, order spicy pork(there is no menu and that is the only thing that annina knew they had) take your receipt, and go down stairs. You give your receipt to the little old lady and she goes in the back and starts cooking it up. The downstairs seating is rather interesting. Its like three shitty tables with plastic stools. The walls are just shelves and shelves of VHS tapes, all labeled in Korean. So obviously I had no idea what they were. I like to think they were Korea snuff, but they were probably just soap operas. Anyway, the the spicy pork comes in a bowl with white rice, a side of Kimchi, a styrafoam cup of miso cup and a plastic cup of water. It was worth every last pence of the FOUR POUNDS!!!! it cost.

It was great it was the perfectly kitchy, bizarrely authentic experience that I want to have everyday. I do like London, but I think Berlin might be a better fit!

Now i need to go remove my navy blue nail polish for my interview. I need a new line of work.

There are few things better than hole-in-the-wall asian. That was not an intentional euphemism.
